5-at-10: Fab 4 picks and a small business idea, 2020 good riddance, LeBron’s all-time greatness

Fab 4 picks

Yes, the bagel-for-2 we took Wednesday dropped us to wait for it 8-8 on the bowl season.

In a year when all the breaks have felt like they have gone against us, well, the Fab 4 picks are limping into 2021 with two sprained ankles, a strained hammy, a sore calf and a hyperextended knee. No es bueno.

Well, with that thought, one of the semi-bright spots in this year has been the emergence of some of the next wave of country stars, who, while coming up in the lasting and lingering dirty circle of ‘Bro Country’ that has made Luke Bryan rich (and a borderline criminal) among others. (How’s that for a tangent, huh, Alejandro?)

The emergence of Luke Combs as a headline act has been cool, and names like Morgan Wallen, Jon Pardi and Hardy have made listening to less and less ESPN and more and more country way more enjoyable.
