The State of Play: Recent Episodes
Sam Davis
Sports mad friends duo Sam and Ike are friends from Australia and America, who love chatting about all things sports.
This week we have a look at the NFL playoff picture, two outstanding sporting performances in Golf and the Australian Rules Football Womens league and we reflect back on a crazy finish to the 2021 Formula 1 calendar.
We introduce a new section into the show, "grumpy Sam", where Sam makes his feelings very clear about the Miami Dolphins decision to fire Head Coach Brian Flores.
This week we have a look at a the chaotic penultimate F1 race, we discuss Trevor Lawrence's lacklustre start to his NFL career and we touch base on the opening game of the Australian Big Bash Cricket League.
Ike and Sam break down Week 12 of the NFL, they focus on the resurgent Dolphins, the 2022 draft class, and speculate as to where Baker Mayfield will play ball next year.
They discuss the boxing heavyweight division and what people like Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and Jake Paul are doing for (or to) the sport, and they look at some of the weirder clauses in fighting contracts.
There is also focus on the last two races of the Formula 1 season, and of course pay respects to the legendary Sir Frank Williams.
