The Section 357 Show: The Ball Street Journal: Recent Episodes
The Section 357 Show
Welcome to The Section 357 Show: The Ball Street Journal, a contemporary global sports podcast incorporating business, marketing, and PR with a hip-hop flair. Dee, Ron, and Floyd discuss the most important issues that affect the business and marketing of the world's most popular sports, teams, and athletes. Add to that the best hip-hop music and the coolest guests, and you truly have “Sports Without Borders”…
We're back for a special episode! Unprecedented times create remarkable opportunities, and we couldn't think of a better time to bring the Section 357 Show back from hiatus than during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a moment where there's no live sports around the world, we breakdown how we ended up in this historic moment, the response and shift to a digital culture for both sports and Hip-Hop, and how we all move forward from here.
This is still "Sports Without Borders"...
Keeth Smart--our favorite Olympic medalist--drops by on this episode of the Section 357 Show to talk about his new venture, RXACTIVE, a sports fashion technology company. Keeth gives some insight on starting the company, tending to the business of raising money and product development, and comparing this process to his training for the Olympics. Lastly, we couldn't let Keeth go without discussing his beloved Knicks and what hip-hop music he's digging these days. This was a great show!

In this episode of the Section 357 Show, Floyd and Big Shot Ron discuss the recent N.W.A Biopic "Straight Outta Compton", the impact of Fantasy Football on the Madden video game franchise, and highlight the recent practice of celebrating Hip-Hop album anniversaries.
Segment 1: - Did "Straight Outta Compton" really capture the essence of N.W.A? - How wide was the audience's age range? - How would "Straight Outta Compton" been produced had it been told from MC Ren and Yella's perspective, instead of Dr. Dre and Ice Cube? - Did the movie go too easy on Jerry Heller?
Segment 2: - As Hip-Hop matures, how are we celebrating classic albums? - How has the notion of a "classic" album changed in the current single/mixtape culture? - Is there money to be made in celebrating these anniversaries?
Segment 3: - Is Fantasy Football stealing the thunder of the Madden video game? - How has Madden changed its marketing approach? Does it make sense? - Can EA Sports realistically improve the Madden video game franchise? - How important is gambling to this discussion?

In this episode of the Section 357 Show, we cover the motivations, accusations, and conversations surrounding the beef between Drake and Meek Mill. Rarely in hip-hop has the discord between two artists spilled over into pop culture in this way, with brands, celebrities, and athletes all weighing in on the matter. With that in mind, Big Shot Ron and Floyd addressed the key issues surrounding this moment and its aftermath.
What precipitated Meek Mill’s initial Twitter rant? What “unofficial” protocol was breached? What role does Nicki Minaj play? Where does Drake’s diss response compare to other moments in hip-hop history? How has Social Media affected anticipated response times? What were some of the best Social Media memes? Did Drake pick an easy target in Meek Mill? What should Rick Ross do? What does Meek Mill's career look like going forward?

With the NBA in its post-draft/free agency period, Big Shot Ron and Floyd decide to have a 2nd (or 3rd) helping of NBA conversation at the family BBQ to address some pressing questions around the structure and state of the league heading into next season.
Can the NBA improve it's draft coverage by finally embracing social media the right way? Did the Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bulls really improve or fall behind by default? Will Emmanuel Mudiay be a trendsetter in the high-school-to-overseas basketball route? Is Sam Dekker really the 2nd best player in this draft?
If answering those questions wasn't enough, the guys shine a light on how the Golden State Warriors are built for the long-term, and how the NBA's star players are exerting control over the financial machine of the league.
Lastly, with the Pistons, Lakers, Knicks, and 76ers in such dire straits as franchises, which franchise bounces back to prominence first? The answer might surprise you. (Hint: It's not the Knicks. Obviously.)

We break down Big Shot Ron's recent articles about this year's NBA playoff projections and the best draft picks of every team. Plus, some candid talk about the Kobe Bryant and the Lakers' misfortunes, Anthony Davis vs. Dwight Howard, and the Atlanta Hawks' ownership situation.
We round out the show by reiterating what the NBA suits and sponsors may have been reluctant to admit: the NBA and Hip-Hop are intertwined business cultures.

Kris also gives us some perspective on the Hawks' chances in a suddenly wide-open NBA Eastern Conference, and what needs to happen for the current collection of players to take a San Antonio Spurs-like leap into contention.

Crystal aka @rvngirl, drops by to give a Baltimore Ravens female fan perspective on Ray Rice and his domestic violence-related suspension. Her perspective might surprise you; but then again, if you embrace a wide range of conversation, it might not. Either way, it's a great listen, and we're sure Crystal and Dee were able to make amends afterwards.
Crystal also plays our Favorite 5 segment and gives us her favorite five Baltimore-area sports moments. We think you'll be able to guest a few of them, but there are a couple of surprises.
Lastly, we remind you that you--the fans--hold the power to dictate the kinds of opinions you want receive. There are far more platforms besides the major networks that provide interesting and entertaining conversation (like this show!), and we encourage you to support them.

We can't ignore the fact that so much of our sporting culture takes place in the shadow of larger social issues. In this conversation we chat with one of Chicago's favorite sons, Red Jerz from the Sportzfam, to talk about that city's gun violence and educational challenges, and the role that athletes, owners, and leagues can play in creating positive change. We also hope you (yes, YOU!) will get involved and help spread this dialogue to the sports fans and communities wherever you are.
Red Jerz also gives his favorite five Chicago sports moments. We must admit, there were a few pleasant surprises on his list. Listen for yourself and see if you agree!

On this episode of the Ball Street Journal we discuss the notion of Sports Patriotism and "wrapping yourself in the flag" when it comes to international competitions like the World Cup or the Olympics. When it comes to sports fandom, do you always have to root for the "home team" or "home country"? (Are you less of a patriot if you don't?) Does patriotism matter in sports that you don't care about, or do you always have to pull for your home country? We discuss these questions and more in a very heated debate that brings personal choice and global perspective into the mix. This is "Sports Without Borders"...

It's time for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, and the Ball Street Journal wants to make sure you're ready. Every 4 years the world gathers to compete for global domination of "the beautiful game", and this year's competition has some great stories to complement the action on the pitch. Will host nation Brazil ride the emotion of the moment to victory, or will Europe's domination of the sport continue in the form of Germany, England, Spain, or the Netherlands? These are the moments when new stars can be born and current stars can become immortal, and The Section 357 Show breaks it all down as only we can.
In this episode we also give new fans some tips on how to watch the World Cup, plus throw out a few interesting developments to watch for as the competition goes along. And lastly, we picked our winners, plus a few dark horse teams that might make a great run. This is truly "Sports Without Borders"...

The NFL is the most popular American sport and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. Over the past several years, however, the league has managed to turn its offseason schedule into truly “must-see” events that attract more fans, more coverage, and ultimately, more revenue. But is “more” actually better? Some would debate that the NFL is doing too much, growing to fast, and over-saturating our media space with their product.
In this podcast we discuss the NFL’s presence as we know it, how it might grow in the future, and what changes need to be made to accommodate that growth while not negatively impacting the product on the field. This is “Sports Without Borders”….

We induct the latest class of Hip-Hop legends into the Section 357 Show Hip-Hop Hall of Fame, and like the previous classes, we highlight a list of performers who left an indelible impact on the culture. The nominees included a few new names as well as some holdovers from previous ballots: 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G., Salt-n-Pepa, Dr. Dre, A Tribe Called Quest, Jay-Z, and Hype Williams. Additionally, we honor our history and cast a nod to one of Hip-Hop's pioneering groups in our Veteran's Committee Selection.
This round's class was not without a bit of a shakeup: After much impassioned debate, complete with verbal body blows and contentious claims, the selection committee could only come to a unanimous decision on TWO nominees, rather than the customary four. This definitely made for some interesting deliberations, however this willingness to deviate from the norm only reaffirms our belief in the strength of our selection process.

We cover a wide spectrum of issues, including legality, money, access to drugs, testing oversight, league cover-ups, regulatory agencies, morality, competition and health effects, bioengineering, and whether fans (that means you) really even care if their favorite athletes take certain drugs to enhance their performance.

From uncensored sports channels to helmet cameras, we discuss both the fan and league sides of the argument for more access to your favorite players and sports. Is the future of sports viewing already here? If it is, will it be coming to a screen near you anytime soon? It’s clear that the technology isn’t too far away, but does it make financial sense for a league to implement new changes? What would YOU be willing to pay for an all-access sports viewing experience?
We also dig deeper into the 24-hour online media inspired coverage of athletes and the “scandals” in their lives, something we’ve dubbed the “TMZ Effect”. How much do you want to know about athletes in the public eye? Beyond that, how much do you need to know? We know off-field drama can affect the field of play, but is there any way to change how the media goes about it? We discuss.

2013 was an amazing year in the world of Sports and Pop Culture. Serena Williams, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Team Mayweather had great years, as did Kendrick Lamar, Bayern Munich, and Pharrell Williams. We also saw “Twerking” make a triumphant surge into our daily conversations, as did pretty much everything Jay-Z and Beyonce did. However, 2013 wasn’t without some moments of regret: the NCAA continues to find ways to get it wrong, while it seems like “softness” is running rampant throughout our culture, both on and off the field.
Eminem, Kanye West, Robin Thicke, and Rick Ross also made headlines in 2013, while the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Ravens showed us how to finish strong.
As we look forward to 2014, we’ll also have our eyes open for more secret albums, good things from Jhene Aiko, the first year of the NCAA Football playoff, good times in the World Cup in Brazil, and more episodes from The Section 357 Show.

Kanye West loves Kanye West; that we know, but Kanye West also wants you to love Kanye West. And sometimes we actually do. When it comes to Kanye West’s music, his greatness and talent and influence are undeniable, but not without some limits, many of them self-imposed. In this continuation of our conversation with Rosalyn Ross, we take a look at Kanye West’s musical legacy from College Dropout to Yeezus, while analyzing his catalogue and some critical turning points along the way.
How should we interpret Kanye West’s desire to be the best at everything?
Do we not give Kanye enough credit?
How did his music change after his mother passed away?
Was Yeezus a stepping-stone to something greater artistically?

What have Will Smith, Samuel Jackson, and Forest Whitaker been able to do that others haven't? What does the future hold for actors like Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino in rap circles)?

It's Week 2 in the NFL, and there are already some signs of distress for a few teams. Will Cam Newton make a better fit for the Tennessee Titans than the Carolina Panthers? Is Mike Shanahan ruining RGIII? Can the Miami Dolphins take over the AFC East? These are just a few of the thoughts on our mind during out "Two Week Notice".

After one week of NFL action, what did we learn?

In addition to the kickoff of the NFL season, the gamers out there have had a chance to get their paws on the new Madden 25 edition, which led to this debate question, "Which has had the biggest impact on growing the NFL as a sport: Madden or Fantasy Football? The answers might surprise you.

Music is the only thing we like discussing as much as sports, so it's only right that we finally give our take on establishing a Hip-Hop Hall of Fame.
