Season 1; Episode 16 - All good things must come to an end, right?!? Sike nah, only the seasons have changed and we're back this week with our latest installment.  Ever wonder why that new video for Drake's banger, 'Laugh Now, Cry Later,' looks and feels a lot like a NIKE ad/commercial, complete with superstar athlete cameos, views of NIKE's Beaverton, OR HQ, and cringeworthy jumpshots, route running, field awareness, and punch-throwing technique?!? Well, come chop it up with us as we rap about how and why this was a fancy way of fulfilling one's appearance requirements to promote the brand (secret - the answers lies in the endorsement/sponsorship agreements' appearance clauses/definitions which imposes a contractual obligation on the talent).   After we get you hip re that, we'll jump into out first ever NO CAP Recap. In this segment we'll update you on the latest developments from the alleged NFL armed robbery/pay off situation and the newest lawsuit filed as a result of the Kobe Bryant's tragic helicopter crash.

Season 1; Episode 15 - After a tumultuous 24 hrs, we have a decision to bring the NBA Playoffs back.  In this EMERGENCY POD we discuss the NBA Player led sports boycott that took the world by storm, the ultimate decision the players made to resume the playoffs in the NBA Bubble, and why the decision was likely made.  We'll rap about what business context and past legal disputes played a factor in the cooling of heads and what was actually at stake behind the scenes.

Season 1; Episode 14 - Almost all major sports have returned!! FINALLY!! We'll dive into the new look and feel sports landscape and discuss how sports have returned in our Slight Cap Recap.  We'll also be rappin about the NCAA PAC-12 player boycott and the ramifications of their list of demands, how MLB player, Yoenis Cespedes, opted out of the MLB restart mid-game, how the NFL is handling opt outs, which NFL player was the first to opt out and why, and which NFL star will play despite voicing major concerns. Afterwards, we look to change the pace of the match and invite our very first AthLegalEaze guest to lead our Case Law segment.  Kasia Trauben, an Intellectual Property attorney, located in Los Angeles, and focused on patent and trademark work in the fashion world, will put the team on her back and lead our discussion re some legal issues involving wearable technology and logos.  She'll be rappin about patents 101, the NBA Bubble Oura Smart Ring patents, and the Nike v. Adidas (FlyKnit v. PrimeKnit) patent infringement lawsuit.  Then we'll discuss trademarks 101, Nike's failed attempt at securing the 'SNKRS' trademark, and the ongoing logo trademark dispute between Monster Energy Drink and the Toronto Raptors.
