    Hey there!

    The sports headlines came fast and furious this weekend, so co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz are here to break it all down on today’s episode of The GIST of It. First, the gals dig into the disturbing sexual misconduct allegations against Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker, who has been accused of inappropriate behavior dating back to 2012 by nine massage therapists.

    Then in part two, it’s all about the NBA trade deadline drama. Generational talent Luka Dončić was shockingly traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the LA Lakers in exchange for veteran Anthony Davis, a surprise move that stunned players and fans alike. El and Steph dig into the deal, focusing on the double standard regarding player empowerment in the NBA. Let’s bounce to it.
