Roundup: How Villanova Became the Warriors; 11-Foot Alligator in Florida Pool; & RIP TV Show Creator Steven Bochco

Jennifer Lawrence, because I saw Red Sparrow and it’s tremendous … RIP Steven Bochco, creator of many great TV shows … video of a driver in Arkansas nearly hitting a State Trooper, and then admitting she was looking at her phone … “64% of assailants in mass attacks suffered from symptoms of mental illness” … super sad read about the great comic book writer Stan Lee having his fortune picked apart by vultures … “Deaths from drug overdoses continue to rise in the US, especially among blacks and Hispanics” … they key to a great celebrity interview is hot sauce, obviously … “Large alligator pulled from pool in Sarasota County” … Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife wore an interesting bikini … this was my favorite TBL post of the weekend … 

Before Villanova went bananas against Kansas, I talked about how they copied the Warriors; likelihood of Odell Beckham and Rob Gronkowski being traded before the draft; & Kevin Durant is still fighting for respect. [Podcast]
