Isn’t this supposed to be the NFL offseason? Nobody told Tom Brady, or the teams that made a flurry of major moves on the trade and free agent markets.

Isn’t this supposed to be the period of sheer exhaustion post-NBA All-Star break during which beleaguered teams limp toward the playoffs? Nobody told Karl-Anthony Towns, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving, whose explosive performances over the past week have been nothing short of stunning.

Naturally, the newest episode of Boardroom’s  “Out of Office” podcast finds Rich Kleiman and Gianni Harrell going deep on all of the above.

Animal Style.

Stick around for the guys talking about which documentaries they’re currently watching, the current state of the New York Giants, and what they witnessed at this year’s SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.
