It’s back to the PBA hardwood! Who is the best #1 draft pick from the year 2000 onwards? We have homegrown and overseas-born players slug it out. And let’s not forget about players from the same alma mater squaring off! We deliberate on the winners from four categories: guards, wings, bigs, and utility. Each victor then battles it out in the final four as we determine the ultimate #1 draft pick in the PBA!
Time to assess the venues wherein we witness sports! We start off by going head-to-head with the modern Mall of Asia Arena and the historic Smart Araneta Coliseum, two places often used in the local and international scene. They have been proven in the UAAP and PBA all the way up to international concerts and FIBA-sanctioned events.
We then examine the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium. The facility located in the heart of the Metro is the go-to place for local and international matches and is easily accessible by public transportation. Let’s not forget about the largest outdoor stadium to host international football games in the country, the Philippine Sports Stadium.
The squad also runs through their honorable picks for local sporting facilities. We piece our observations together and is Ynares Antipolo really a haven for hecklers? Other than it’s relaxing atmosphere what allows the Aboitiz Pitch to standout? What was it like for Claudia overhearing concerts of Stevie Wonder and Phil Collins at ULTRA? We also give our theory on why hotdogs taste better in government owned venues compared to the likes of MOA and Araneta.
On international soil we go from the likes of Wembley, Staples, and Madison Square Garden, all the way to Hong Kong. Lance recalls the time he witnessed fellow kababayan Neil Etheridge as starting goalkeeper for former Premier League side Cardiff City.
The #BicolBubble came to light with the training of the UST Growling Tigers in Southern Luzon. We tackle the different elements brought forward from food, potential repercussions, and the prospects of collegiate sports resuming.
Next stop is the ongoing operation of the NBA Campus in Orlando, Florida. Beyond conversing on gameplay there was also its brief halt as players fought for social change. The implications of stoppage were analyzed and we also highlighted player vlogs which continue to give a glimpse of the bubble life.
Professional teams in the Philippines have also been given the green light to resume training. Due to the situation within the Metro the league has looked into different venues beyond the usual suspects. Join us as we talk through the potential of this idea done locally.
The world of sports is a bag full of surprises. We see favored teams cruise past opponents, but there are times “weaker” teams pull of surprises. Join Claudia, Lance, Jay, and Claro once again as they recall underdog moments starting off with the Azkals' Miracle in Hanoi. 2020 NBA Playoff dark horses are also identified as we also break down this label certain teams are given in competitions.
The gang further runs through their recommended underdog movies like Cinderella Man, Miracle on Ice, Moneyball, Dodgeball and more! We retell comebacks personally witnessed. We go from Tracy McGrady and the 2004 Powerade Tigers to Gilas Pilipinas ending the curse of Korea in 2013 for basketball. Let's also not forget about comeback stories from Ceres-Negros, the Azkals, Liverpool, and the 2004 Boston Red Sox!
One of the most difficult jobs in sports? It's being a referee. The squad shares their first hand experience with referees from their basketball playing days. From school intramurals and barangay leagues all the way up to Claudia hooping in the NCAA and in Taiwan. Join us as we breakdown the different aspects of officiating and show our appreciation to the tireless people who work behind every game.
Time to talk collegiate sports beyond your typical hoops! The gang debates on the twice-to-beat advantage in the Final Four, an uncommon practice in overseas sports. We breakdown how individual sports such as tennis, taekwondo, and swimming are turned into team events as athletes represent their beloved institutions. Fancy being a commissioner? The squad dives into their respective fantasies and play out their own tournament formats.
It’s back to our roots! Each member of the squad digs into the memory vault. Find out about our first memories as fans who were welcomed into the sporting world. Hear about our encounters with more athletes from Alvin Patrimonio and Willie Generalao to former Laker Magic Johnson.
We also unearth our most heartbreaking sports moments from VARIOUS Pilipinas Koreanovelas to the AFC Challenge Cup. Furthermore, the gang shares some of its priceless memorabilia.
The gang is back for moreee! We go through two important and inseparable facets of sports, broadcasting and fans. The games we love have been able to grow all thanks to the fans, those watching live and on the broadcast. Furthermore, we dissect the art of storytelling to fans and pay tribute to our broadcasting friends.
The likes of Korea, Germany, and Taiwan have been able to resume sports in the midst of the pandemic. Formula One is also the first international sports tournament to resume as hype surrounds the NBA bubble. But the same does not go for other countries who find themselves in critical health situations. In this episode the team will take you through the on-goings of sports prior to and during the outbreak. Health protocols are also tackled particularly with the Tokyo Olympics being moved to 2021.
Our fantasy continues! Think about former Gilas captain and point guard Jimmy Alapag playing midfield with Jordan Clarkson. Behind them on the pitch are hard-nosed stoppers Mark Pingris and Calvin Abueva as the Philippines' center back duo. We jump ship to the hardwood with Stephan Schrock and Phil Younghusband being Lebron James and Kobe Bryant, respectively if the Azkals played basketball. How about jumping into a wrestling ring with the Filipino Undertaker in June Mar Fajardo? Or Picture the likes of Takashi Odawara and Pika Minegishi teaming up to become a Japanese high-flying tag team.
Imagine Robert Jaworski at quarterback, Rudy Distrito playing safety and Bonel Balingit protecting the prior as the center. Or Kiefer Ravena as setter with Arwind Santos and Kai Sotto as middle blockers? How about Azkal Neil Etheridge as your long snapper plus all-time Azkals goalscorer Phil Younghusband at punter? Here we dive into our fantasies and come up with our dream lineups with the condition of placing local athletes outside of their home sports.
Some say foreign student athletes are bad for collegiate sports in the Philippines. Others say they help raise the level of play and bring a different dimension to the game. Who the heck are we? is back once again for your weekly dose of sports opinion. Here's our take and we'd love to hear yours too! Leave a comment on our Facebook or Instagram account.
The squad goes beyond your typical playing court or field. This time they dissect the technology behind the scenes of your beloved games.
The implications of instant replay (VAR, challenges, etc.) are assessed. Are they hurting or helping the game? We go through the impact of technology on Swimming performance and Taekwondo's scoring system. Do accessories (kinesio tape and more) really help? Last but not the least, what really draws the line on performance enhancers?
What sports do we find hard to appreciate? Yep.... tough question. Claudia, Jay, Lance, and Claro share their answers and explain why. Join the gang as they give their reasons, debate, and get triggered!
It all started with Claro's genuine curiosity about the Asian imports' dawn in the PBA. A talk that started in the group chat that lead to the creation of this podcast.
Presenting the first discussion on this podcast that featured different perspectives surrounding the stint of Asian imports in the PBA (or the stint of the PBA with Asian imports), Jay's bad audio, and Jeremy Lin holding a big paint brush.
