The Final Fours of the Women and Men did not disappoint. The storylines from both sides were almost identical. So the script writers were not very creative this year. We had the overall number one seeds both win championships and also face off against a 2 time player of the year. UConn and SC both showed that fundamental basketball is still winning basketball as they dominated the glass and played good team defense and offense on their ways to championships.

It only took 30 years but CONGRATULATIONS once again to the Detroit Lions for winning the NFC North!
Denver absolutely blows their chance at being in great playoff position with a surprising loss at home to NE. Sean Payton who was carried by Drew Brees is now trying to scapegoat Russell Wilson.
Miami finally gets a win against a quality opponent and their are still more questions about did Dallas lose that game or did Miami win it.
Raiders stun the Chiefs at home and Patrick Mahomes finally looks human.
Ravens absolutely dismantle the 49ers and is Lamar now the MVP favorite?

The playoff race is heating up and with 3 weeks left every game matters! This is one of the most convoluted playoff races we can remember in quite some time. The Raiders opened up the week with their highest score in franchise history and the Seahawks closed this week with a huge win over the sliding Eagles on what was a hell of a pitch and catch from Lock to Smith-Njigba. NFC South and AFC South will be a fun divisions to watch come down the the last week of the season. Also there are a lot of backup QBs trying to make a name for themselves and lead their team to the playoffs.
We discuss the Mendenhall tweet that has set the NFL world on fire. While also discussing the NBA season and the CFB bowl games that have happened thus far.

We discuss teams that are rising for the playoff push and teams that are starting to fade.

In what was the clash of the podcast hosts (NYG v LV) we all knew what the outcome of this game would be. Hopefully one day when we play each other again it will be a meaningful game. We are at the halfway mark for the NFL season already and besides the Eagles everyone seems stuck in the middle.
Some really bad roughing the passer/unnecessary roughness calls this week and all year honestly. We discuss the inconsistencies within the officiating and can it be fixed?

NFL trade deadline has come and gone. There were some names moved but it was a relatively quiet trade deadline as the NFL doesn't normally have splash trades like the NBA. Almost at the halfway mark of the season and this year is shaping up to be up for grabs for anyone. No one is really pulling away from the pack and everyone has a win now (congrats Panthers). Listen to Patrick and Julius breakdown Week 8 and look ahead to Week 9.

Week 6 is over and terrible coaching and officiating are at the forefront of this week. More analytical coaching over taking the points and that cost many teams. Officiating needs to get more consistent because the lack of calls or the plethora of calls needs to be even between games and officials.
MLB playoffs have been a good one and both LCS's have started off 2-0. Phillies and Rangers have been hot this post season so shall see if they meet in the World Series.
NCAAF had some good matchups and we discuss that along with the WNBA finals.

Week 5 is in the books and this NFL season looks to be shaping up as the most middle of the road season yet. SF and PHI remain undefeated and the rest of the NFL is just there for now. This week showed what Julius and Patrick have been talking about on almost every podcast dating to last year....coaches need to get out of the analytics and start making decisions based on the feel of the game. That is why they are paid all the money to go out there and make these decisions. Can't keep leaving points on the field to go for it on 4th down to end up losing by 2 or 3 points and then wonder what if.
MLB playoffs have started and there have been some sweeps in the division series. O's and Dodgers go home before they wanted and the Astros are going to another ALCS.
If you weren't a conspiracy theorist before this week then the Miami v GT game probably made you one.

We have a Heat fan join us to talk Heat basketball and their improbable run to the Eastern Conference finals this year. Jayson Tatum reminded everyone who he is in Game 7 against the 76ers. Embiid did not go out like an MVP and Julius has some choice words for his press conference. Lakers closed out the Warriors in large part to no one besides Steph Curry showing up and Game 4 Lonnie! Jalen Brunson shoutout to you, you were in the same boat as Steph Curry as no one else wanted help you out in your series.
NHL and the Florida Panthers continue to shock the NHL world this playoffs in large part to the success of Bobrovsky! This man has been a menace in goal.

Listen as we breakdown every teams draft. We discuss what picks stood out the most (good and bad) and what teams left us scratching our heads. We start with the Panthers since they had the number 1 pick and discuss each team as we go down the draft board. We finish the analysis with the teams who did not have a first round pick. We thought this draft was going to be unpredictable and once the Colts made their selection at 4 the dominoes started to fall. How Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith both fell to the Eagles we will never know.

On this episode we breakdown the games that have been played to this point in round 1 of the NBA and NHL playoffs. 76ers have swept the Nets and Tobias Harris was a big part of how they did that. Lakers go up 3-1 and the Heat also go up 3-1 on a historic night from Jimmy Butler. Many teams have had injuries hit them at the wrong time from Milwaukee with Giannis, Clippers with Kawhi, and now the Kings with De'Aaron Fox. Load management is clearly not working as Mikal Bridges doesn't miss time but plays every game while other stars are missing meaningful games late into the season.
No series have been won to this point in the NHL playoffs but a lot of teams are on the brink. There have been plenty of close games in the first round and overtime games. The Devils made a GK change and that has gotten them right back in the series with the Rangers. Oilers and Kings are having a fantastic series and the Maple Leafs and Lightning are not disappointing.
Julius discusses THE fight from over the weekend and the constant hate that Gervonta Davis receives.
