Today’s topic, as it has been for the past five years, is hoops.
And most of them have been with our special guest host, young gunner and friend, the super producer, Ryan Antonio Henry.

The Open Run With Will Strickland

Episode 239 - Interregnum
There is a space between Right and Wrong where decisions are made.
The Eternal Struggle is between the Heart and the Mind.
The Heart knows no Logic; the Mind knows no Feeling.
War or Peace.
You choose.

The Open Run With Will Strickland

Episode 238 – All The Things
Wall $t’s Dear Ol’ Dad (Bless The Dead) once told him that there are two sides to every story; three when you include The Truth.
Bars filled with wisdom have put your host in a reflective mood as many of the players he’s watched over the past two decades-plus are in the twilight of their careers, with social media narratives that often belie the realities of their accomplishments.
But now, The Great Christopher Emmanuel Paul is man with no country, the OG OKC crew is still setting milestones as the championship iteration of the Thunder are making their own history, we track movement in our NCAA Powers 5 for theweek, see why a housing stipend needs to find a home in the W’s CBA talks and note a sticky situation in Milwaukee while never forgetting to remember that The King Stay The King!
