The Pi Brew
We’re back with a new Brew. Yesterday was the second anniversary of the death of Kobe Bryant and the world remembered his life. Barry Bonds will not be in the MLB Hall of Fame and many people are upset about it. A player has retired from the Eagles. As always, we have a lot to get to, so let’s do this. It’s Brew time!
The NBA trade deadline is approaching
“The 76ers have asked the Kings for guard Tyrese Haliburton and multiple first-round picks, and asked for a package around John Collins and multiple first-round picks from the Hawks along with Atlanta taking on Tobias Harris, multiple sources tell The Athletic.” https://t.co/FFCZrA0gUl

Does Bonds belong in the HOF?
Barry Bonds belongs in the Hall of Fame. And if he’s not there by the end of today, the museum has failed at its stated mission: preserve history.
