I was on with one of my favorite national sports talk show hosts, the incomparable Scott Ferrall, on Wednesday’s edition of SportsGrid Radio’s “Ferrall Coast to Coast" after Damian Lillard’s record-breaking scoring/shooting performance in Game 5 of the Trail Blazers’ playoff series with Denver. We covered a lot of ground concerning Lillard’s heroics, his legacy and the current situation with the Blazers. He doesn’t drink alcohol anymore but invited me to go on a bender with him in some tropical paradise if he scores 55 points and makes a dozen 3’s in one of his pickup games. I told him I’d hold him to it.

I hope you’ll have a listen. The gravel-voiced, high-octane former Indiana Hoosier is one entertaining dude.
