On February 28, 2017, Rapaport released an edition of his podcast, "I Am Rapaport", in which he fired back at the show once again, repeatedly insulting Le Batard and co-host Stugotz. Rapaport also threatened them with a defamation lawsuit for accusations that had been made about him having herpes stating, "You're claiming that I'm not going work at ESPN? Let me tell you something. If I'm going down, the whole s— is burning down. If I'm going down, we're talking about defamation."
