Welcome Back All to Season 2 of the 'Balls and Beards Podcast'!! It's hard to believe, but today's all-new, super-packed latest edition marks episode #30 of the 2nd Season.
The boys kickoff with a breakdown & discussion of last night's stinker of a Thursday night game between the Colts & Broncos. Russell Wilson & Denver did a great job of giving that one away, as Indy somehow snuck out of the Rockies with a 12-9 touchdown-less win at Mile High. So what's the problem with Russ & the Broncos?
Then it's on to the Tua Tagovailoa injury, the aftermath of how it was handled, and what it means for the league moving forward. Plus, Chris has a solution for the NFL's Thursday-night-game problem, that would help eliminate some of the poor & diminished play we've seen in these games, and also help from a player-safety standpoint.
After a quick segment break, it's on to a full NFL rundown as the boys go through the league and give their take on what we've seen after a quarter of the NFL season. Surprises, not-so-surprises & more!
Lastly, the boys switch it over to the NBA, where training camps are in full swing - especially in the Bay Area, where Golden State experienced some fireworks in a closed practice earlier this week when Draymond Green threw a viscious punch to Jordan Poole's face. The boys give their thoughts on the situation and provide some insight into Draymond's future with the Warriors. Finally, Mikee brings the boys up to date on the NBA preseason, and checks-in on the Lakers.
All of that plus more, come join us for Season 2 Episode 30 of the BALLS AND BEARDS PODCAST. As always, thank you all for all of the support!

In this weekend's loaded episode, the boys start off in the world of the NBA, where there's been some not-so-good developments over the last couple of weeks. Mikee & Chris lead off by discussing Celtics' Head Coach Ime Udoka being suspended for one year for breaking team policies as it pertains to a female staffer. Was does it mean for the Celtics moving forward? Will Udoka ever coach for Boston again? Plus a broader discussion on the reporting on the incident, which has come under scrutiny & rightfully so. Then its on to Robert Sarver, managing partner of the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury, and majority owner of both, who was suspended for one year and fined $10 million dollars by the league following an NBA investigation into Sarver's actions running the team. After pressure from stars LeBron James and Chris Paul amongst others, he has decided to sell his stake in both franchises. The boys discuss... They end their NBA roundup on high note, however, as longtime veteran Andre Iguodala announced he will be coming back for his 19th season in the league! Then its on to the NFL & a complete rundown of both the AFC & NFC - including all of the early-season surprises around the league - both the good (Giants, Jaguars we are looking at you), and not-so-good (Titans, Raiders amongst others). All of that plus Donovan Mitchell to the Cavs, Kyler's crazy comeback, and much, much more! Come join us for Season 2 Episode 29 of the 'BALLS AND BEARDS PODCAST'!! We appreciate all of the support!

Welcome Back All to Season 2 Episode 26 of the Balls and Beards Podcast! In today's headline-making episode, the boys lead-off with some big-time news out of the NFL. Deshaun Watson & the League reached a settlement on his punishment, but was it enough? The boys discuss. Over the weekend UFC Boss Dana White made headlines that he helped "broker" a deal that would have landed Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski in Las Vegas with the Raiders before the 2020 season. The boys discuss the details surrounding it, and ultimately why it never would happened. Then it's on to other NFL news where the Panthers named Baker Mayfield their Week 1 starter and the Patriots are taking an interesting approach to the offensive side of the ball. After trying to figure out what is going on up in New England, Mikee & Chris shift to the NBA, where Mikee's Lakers signed LeBron James to an extension, but was it the right move? Then it's on to the Nets and their apparent commitment to Kyrie Irving, and will the Knicks and Jazz actually get a deal done for Donovan Mitchell?

The boys discuss what was not just a legendary career, but a legendary person. Then it's on to the continued demands of Kevin Durant - will KD finally get moved after giving the Nets an ultimatum? Next up it's the Lakers once again. The Lakeshow supposedly has more options with Russ Westbrook than the two trades that have already been floated, but the boys aren't necessarily buying it - what moves, if any, will the Lakers actually make with Westbrook?

Then it's down to South Beach to check-in on the Dolphins where the NFL also announced their findings into allegations of tanking & tampering. Are the penalties enough? What about Tom Brady's involvement? Then it's on to the NBA, where the New York Knicks are being investigated for their own possible 'tampering violation' with their courting of Jalen Brunson.
