Ep #223: Head-scratching decisions: Mitchell Miller & Jeff Saturday

Steph Rotz and guest host Lauren Tuiskula are back with yet another WTF episode of The GIST of It. The gals begin in Boston, where the NHL’s Bruins are trying to cut ties with defenseman Mitchell Miller after signing him to an entry-level contract despite accounts that he horrifically bullied and assaulted a Black classmate with special needs six years ago.*

Then, after the break, Lauren and Steph head over to the NFL to discuss the recent hiring of ESPN analyst Jeff Saturday, a man with no college or pro coaching experience, as the interim head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. Privilege at its finest.
