Danny and Brett join me to break down all of the action from the first half of the MLB season and make some predictions for the second half! We start with Brett giving us a recap of his time attending the MLB All-Star festivities, including meeting one of his dad’s favorite pitchers. We also compare the in-person experience to the TV experience, and talk about the pros and cons of the swing-off.
Then, we get into our first half awards. So many players are having exceptional seasons, but we pick out the best of the best from each league. We get into some good analysis about Paul Skenes’ personality, when to make Cal Raleigh a full-time DH, and Zack Wheeler defeating Father Time. We also dish out both praise and critiques to players and teams that have upset us and/or surprised us.
We finish up with our division winner predictions. Will the Rockies shock the world? Probably not. Brett also makes a compelling case for the Charleston Riverdogs to let Danny throw out the first pitch. Tap in for that and more!

The Oklahoma City Thunder won the 2024-25 NBA title, and who better to discuss it with than the only Thunder fan I know? Danny Foxworth returns to talk about yet another one of his favorite teams taking home a championship after decades of fandom! He tells me how he originally became a Seattle SuperSonics fan growing up in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. We also talk about some of his favorite memories from that era.
Then, Danny explains what went into his decision to stick with the team after they relocated to Oklahoma City. We also talk about some of the parallels between the Thunder squad that made it to the Finals against the Big 3 era Miami Heat and the current iteration of the team. And, of course, he details what it was like watching this year’s title run!

They are getting ready to hit the courts at the All England Club, and KP is going to help me break down what to expect! We start with his own tennis career, where he talks about how he got started and playing collegiately. We also talk about the important role of Black players in the sport and reminisce about past Wimbledon greats!
Then, it’s time to figure out who is going to win it all. We start off with the women’s draw. Coco Gauff is coming off her French Open win, but the woman she defeated to win it, Aryna Sabalenka, is the #1 seed. Plus, there’s a lot of talent and not a lot of separation across the Top-8 seeds. Who steps forward to take the crown?
On the men’s side, it’s Carlos Alcaraz’s world, and we’re just living in it. The two-time defending Wimbledon champ looks like GOAT material already. Who is most likely to challenge him? Can the legendary Novak Djokovic summon up one last run? And which Americans can make some noise?
KP also gives us some expert knowledge on the role mental toughness and playing surfaces play in the sport. Also, do you pay attention to the Doubles’ side? He explains why you should. So tap in for a dope conversation!

What was supposed to be a Grand Slam Track season recap has turned into an autopsy after they canceled their final event. Coach Herbert Johnson makes his return as we talk about the Philly meet, how big of a shock the cancellation was, and what it means for Grand Slam moving forward. Then, we discuss what role the lack of field events played in the struggles of the league, as well as why nobody seems to know how to work them into the fold properly.

There’s a lot of WNBA season left, but some teams are already WAY off track! What happened, and can it be fixed this season? The Las Vegas Aces have been at the top of the league for over half a decade now, but they have been the definition of mediocre so far. I'll tell you why this slow start has been years in the making.
Then, the Chicago Sky had big hopes heading into the season, but what if I told you that those big hopes are exactly why they are at the bottom of the standings? And we finish up with the Dallas Wings, who weren’t supposed to light the world on fire, but seemed primed for a step forward after drafting superstar Paige Bueckers. Instead, they are stuck in reverse. Is a new face the cause? Tap in!

To call the 2025 South Carolina Baseball season a disappointment would be an understatement. The once-proud program fell flat on its face after an offseason of optimism about the hiring of Paul Mainieri. However, what if Mainieri was responsible for this season’s failures? Brett Gosnell joins me to break down all of the news that broke regarding what went wrong this baseball season, why Mainieri is to blame, and what it means for the program moving forward!

Coach Herbert Johnson and I have spent HOURS on the phone trying to figure out how track and field can crack the mainstream in the United States, so why not bring the conversation to you? Grand Slam Track is trying to do just that, and while we respect the effort, we need to discuss where they are missing the mark! What’s worked, what hasn’t, and where has the criticism been unfair?

James Paige of Turn The Paige Travel joins me to touch on all of the talking points from the 2025 NFL Draft! We start on ESPN’s lack of enthusiasm about the Titans' selection of Cam Ward #1 overall. Then, we discuss the blockbuster trade that brought Heisman winner Travis Hunter to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Will Hunter continue to play both sides of the ball in the NFL? And, of course, we have to cover the Shedeur Sanders Saga!
We also talk about our favorite picks, try to figure out what some teams were thinking, and how many dead animals did Quinn Ewers have in his home? Plus, James shares some of the sports travel packages his company is offering, including a trip to the Super Bowl! Tap in!

We just survived an NFL Draft that nearly killed pumpkin pie aficionado Mel Kiper Jr. Very little was said about #1 overall pick Cam Ward…is that because being picked first isn’t all it's cracked up to be? Why hasn’t a #1 pick made the Pro Hall of Fame since Peyton Manning? Let’s figure it out as I look at every #1 pick from 1999 to 2013 to see how good they really were, what got in the way of their success, and who should have been picked instead!

David Harrison is back for this special episode as we look ahead at the NBA postseason! We start off looking at the big trade deadline moves to see how much of an effect they’ve had on the playoff picture. Has getting Luka Doncic really elevated the Lakers to a title contender? How has Jimmy Butler sparked the Warriors’ hot 2nd half? How crucial were some of the smaller moves?
Then, we talk through some of the big storylines from the post-All-Star break NBA. The Grizzlies and Nuggets fired their head coaches despite being in the thick of things. How will these moves help or hurt them this postseason? Also, Nikola Jokic became the 3rd player ever to average a triple-double for an entire season. Is that more about how much better he’s gotten or how little help he has?
We also try to figure out why nobody seems to believe in the Thunder or the Cavaliers despite their impressive seasons. And we try to figure out if there will be any surprises in the East! Tap in as we cover all of that and more!

I’m running it back with Mike McGee as we recap what happened during the Final Four! How quickly did we start second-guessing our UCLA pick, how close was Texas to pulling off the upset, and how were we feeling heading into the UConn-South Carolina game?
We break down what happened in the title game to let Paige Bueckers get her storybook ending in decisive fashion! We also try to put each Final Four team’s season into context, no matter how disappointing it ended. From there, we move on to some of the splashier transfer portal moves of the week, including a classic Mike rant about the importance of the portal itself!

March Madness has turned into April, and we are about to crown a national champion in college basketball! Level-headed women’s basketball fan Mike McGee joins me to break down the matchups as we get ready for the Final Four!
We go through both matchups and take a look at the path each team took to get here, how they matchup against each other, and what their keys to winning will be. We also dive into the storylines surrounding each team, including Paige Bueckers’ potential storybook ending, putting some respect on Texas’s name, the dynasty that Dawn built, and how we managed to overlook UCLA. Plus, we dispel some narratives and answer the age-old question of “how efficient is too efficient?”

This is the most stacked women’s basketball field in recent history, so I had to bring in a special guest to help me figure out who will survive and advance! Marke Freeman has had a successful career on the court, as a coach, and now as an analyst, and she came through to use her unique perspective to help me break down each and every game!
We start with a look back at the first weekend of the tournament. We discuss the major takeaways, including the devastating injury to USC star JuJu Watkins. Was it a dirty play, or was it just an unfortunate reality of basketball? And how were the Lady Trojans able to regroup and come away with the win?
Then, we go down the line and make our picks for every game! Marke provides her unique insight into how the SEC was able to send an NCAA-record tying 6 teams to the Sweet 16, why you should be pulling for Paige Bueckers, and how much not getting the #1 overall seed motivated Dawn Staley and the Gamecocks. Tap in so you’re ready for a weekend full of high-quality basketball!

Former NBA 1st-round pick David Harrison comes through to talk about why he thinks the lack of post play in today’s NBA could be why casual fans aren’t as passionate about the game. We discuss the bigs he admired when he was growing up, what was going on in the paint when he was in the league, and when things started to shift to a more perimeter-oriented game for players of all sizes. David also tells me which current NBA big men are certified in the post and whether or not he thinks we’ll see a return in back-to-the-basket play.
David also talks about his life, playing career, and what he’s been up to since he stopped hooping. He tells me what it was like being involved in the Malice at the Palace just a handful of games into his career, why a coach drove him from the game, and how an article about a job he took didn’t paint him in the best light. Most importantly, he talks about how he overcame it all to thrive today! Tap in!

With the basketball season underway, we’re starting to get some answers to all of our offseason questions. One of the biggest questions for me is how will UConn star Paige Bueckers end her collegiate career. Former pro basketball player and current hoops analyst Ice Young comes through to help point me in the right direction and discuss all things Big East!
We start with the UConn Huskies! Geno Auriemma has had them on top of the women’s basketball world for almost my entire lifetime, but injuries and increased parity have kept them from winning it all since 2016. Paige Bueckers has gotten them close a couple of times now, but this is her last chance to make it happen. Can she join the company of the elite Huskies who have come before her by winning a ring?
While Paige is the centerpiece here, Ice explains why she’s just as excited about the rest of this Huskies’ roster. From star freshmen to star transfers to returning players, this team is loaded. How does everyone fit together and will it be enough to make up for the losses of Nika Muhl and Aaliyah Edwards?
The Big East isn’t all UConn though! The Creighton Bluejays have also made some March Madness noise in the past couple of seasons. They have a brutal non-conference schedule and have had a rocky start to the year. Why isn’t Ice worried about them and why should you learn the name Lauren Jensen?
We finish up talking about some up-and-coming programs to keep an eye on! The Big East is a conference on the rise. Could a couple more teams find themselves playing in March? Also, long term, what’s so exciting about the future of the conference? We cover a lot so you’re going to want to tap in!

I’m doubling down on my excitement for Big 12 women’s basketball this year! Jamie Steyer Johnson is THE expert on Big 12 women’s hoops, and she joins me to do a deep dive into how the conference will shake out this year.
We start with the Iowa State Cyclones. As the team’s broadcaster and daughter of associate head coach Jodi Steyer, Jamie knows this program inside and out. She explains what it is about the culture that allowed the program to attract what might be the best transfer class in the Big 12. She also tells me what makes Emily Ryan so integral to the team both on and off the court.
We move on to Kansas State. I was incredibly optimistic in my solo preview about the Wildcats’ chances to make a deep run in March. Unfortunately, star C Ayoka Lee is already experiencing a recurrence of her injury issues. What does the team’s ceiling look like assuming we’ll be seeing less of her this season and what does star PG Serena Sundell do for their floor?
Baylor is the most confusing top team in the conference. What’s the cause of their consistency issues and what have they done to address them heading into this season? Jamie also explains why Colorado transfer Aaronette Vonleh might be her favorite fit of all of the newcomers in the conference.
West Virginia gave Iowa a scare in last year’s NCAA Tournament, but their offensive inconsistency got in the way of an upset. What can star guards JJ Quinerly and Jordan Harrison do to make sure that doesn’t happen this year, and do they have enough size everywhere else for it to matter?
We finish up with some quick hitters on the rest of the conference, including TCU’s star transfers and lack of depth. We also touch on accessibility in women’s hoops coverage and why we want to see more mid-major love! Tap in!

The ACC is stacked! How many of these teams will we see in Tampa for the women’s Final Four in March? Let’s break it down starting with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Coach Nielle Ivey’s squad overcame injury after injury last year thanks to the play of star freshman Hannah Hidalgo. They’re already a little banged up to start the season, but will the return of another star, Olivia Miles, be enough to offset that and put them over the hump?
Then, NC State did make the Final Four last year and bring back a lot of the key pieces that made that run possible. Have stars Aziaha James and Saniya Rivers improved their games enough to avenge last season’s disappointment? And why should you start getting familiar with the name Zam Jones?
Kara Lawson’s Duke team surprised some teams last year with its stifling defense. However, they had a tough time scoring points themselves. Have they solved that with the addition of Canadian sensation Toby Fournier?
I also touch on some other ACC teams you need to be paying attention to before moving on to the Big East, which means talking UConn. The Huskies are known for their winning ways, but it’s been a while. If it’s going to happen again, Paige Bueckers is going to have to lead the way. What does this mean for her legacy and how does this year’s team compare to the previous squads she’s had around her?
I finish up by touching on the rest of the Big East. I also give you some names to keep an eye on all season. Tap in and make sure you check out my other women’s hoops previews!

Newcomer Southern Cal comes into the Big Ten and immediately becomes the favorite. And for good reason too, as they add star transfers Kiki Iriafen and Talia von Oelhoffen to a roster that already features superstar JuJu Watkins. But could their freshmen class have even more of an impact than the transfers? Let’s talk about why another loss in the Elite Eight would be a disappointment this season.
The Trojans aren’t the only former Pac-12 program to show up and try to take over the block. The UCLA Bruins also step right into the top of the conference, led by C Lauren Betts. However, the key to how far they go could lie in the hands of Kiki Rice. Why is that and what do I think will happen this season?
Then, I talk about why I’m hesitant to believe in the rest of the conference despite some high rankings heading into the season. After that, I move on to the Big 12. They have gotten lost in the shuffle with some of the splashy moves made by other conferences but you need to pay attention!
The favorite in that conference is the Iowa State Cyclones team that shocked a lot of people last year behind the freshmen duo of Audi Crooks and Addy Brown. As great as their debut seasons were, there was some room for improvement. Where is that and how do I expect it to go? Will they do enough to book a trip to Tampa? Or do they still need more experience?
Could Baylor or Kansas State make a run in March? The Bears have a scrappy squad…but is that enough to rack up wins? And Kansas State is led by stars C Ayoka Lee and G Serena Sundell, but struggled to score points at times last season. Could that improve this year?
I finish up with some other teams to watch in the conference. Tap in and make sure you check out my other women’s hoops previews!

The SEC has been home to the national champions for the past 3 seasons…can they make it a 4th? Lo Dreher of The Committee Sports Group joins me to talk about who has the best chance to make a run to the Final Four out of the conference where it just means more!
We start out breaking down what to expect from #1 South Carolina. Dawn Staley’s squad was supposed to be rebuilding last year. Instead, they went undefeated and won the national championship. Will they be able to repeat for the first time in program history? Or will the void left by Kamilla Cardoso be too much?
Then, LSU is entering its post-Angel Reese era. Do they have another star or two in the making? And which aspect of their team may actually be better than last season’s squad?
We move on to talking about SEC newcomers Texas and Oklahoma. Which one is better equipped to adjust to the way the SEC plays? And can Sooners C Raegan Beers pick up where she left off at Oregon State last season? Plus, Lo gives some rapid-fire takes on the rest of the league, including some sleepers to pay attention to, and explains the importance of traditional point guards!

The New York Liberty won their first-ever WNBA title in an epic series against the Minnesota Lynx! What were my major takeaways from the series? And why should WNBA fans be looking forward to the offseason? Plus, Virginia men’s basketball coach Tony Bennett shockingly stepped down right before the start of the season. What does that say about the state of college hoops and why was I irked?

The Thunder arrived to the top of the Western Conference last season way ahead of schedule! Can they follow it up this year by getting even better? The legendary Danny Foxworth joins me to talk about what to expect from his favorite team this year!
We start off looking back at last season’s run to the #1 seed in the west! Danny talks about how OKC was able to make that jump and when he realized they had a real shot at contending. We also touch on where his fandom began and how much last year’s Thunder team reminded him of the early years of the KD, Westbrook, and Harden squads.
Then, we talk about the emergence of the Thunder’s franchise player, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, into a superstar. Danny breaks down what makes him so effective. And while we know who he’s their #1 guy, who is #2? Could it be Jalen Williams? If you’re not familiar with his game, Danny explains why he’s about to burst onto the scene nationally. And we evaluate Chet Holmgren’s rookie campaign.
As if they weren’t good enough, the Thunder pulled off some much-needed offseason moves. Did they address the issues that led to their playoff exit? Plus, Danny gives us some role players to pay attention to this season and tells me what to expect from some of the younger guys on the squad. We finish up with Danny’s season expectations. Tap in!
Danny is doing incredible things in the podcast space, so be sure to check him out if you aren’t already! He’s got a show for pretty much everything. Join his more than 250 subscribers on YouTube at@dannyfoxworth843 for all of his content and follow him on Instagram at @dannyfoxworth843.

The 2019 NBA Championship seems like a lifetime ago for Raptors fans, but brighter days are ahead! NBA Analyst Esfandiar Baraheni stops by to tell me why that’s the case. We start off by recapping last season. There were a LOT of moves made as the organization essentially pressed the “reset” button. What did those moves look like and what do they tell us about where the team wants to go?
Then, it seems clear they want to build around young star Scottie Barnes. Es tells me how Barnes was able to bounce back from a tough 2nd year, what else he needs to work on, and why it’s tough to pin down exactly what he could end up being as a player. We also talk about how Scottie fits into Coach Darko Rajakovic’s system, and zoom out to discuss the system as a whole.
We move on and talk about some of the pieces Es thinks could play a big role in this team’s future, starting with Gradey Dick. Could he take a leap this year? And why is he the perfect fit next to Scottie? Then, we break down the entire roster. What can you expect the rotation to look like and what is the organization going to be looking for as they decide how to navigate this rebuild?
We stop and take a necessary detour down memory lane and talk about the role the Raptors played in our individual fandom. I also get Es’ thoughts on the mending of fences between former franchise star Vince Carter and the organization. We also talk about the beauty of following a team as they’re trying to build a contender.
Then, we talk about this year’s rookie class, the moves Es anticipates the team could make, and he gives us his prediction for the season! Tap in for all that and more!

The Indiana Pacers shocked a lot of people last season! From their run to the championship game of the inaugural In-Season Tournament to an appearance in the Eastern Conference Finals. What can we expect from them this year? Alex Golden of the Setting The Pace podcast stops by to let us know!
Alex breaks down everything that fell in place last season to allow for such a huge improvement from the previous year. He also talks about the role Tyrese Haliburton bursting onto the scene played in that and how much more Hali can improve moving forward. Has he recovered from the injuries that affected him in the playoffs and will his experience with Team USA help propel him to a new level?
From there, we look at what held them back from succeeding even more last year. We know Indiana puts up a ton of points, but they gave up a lot in return. How much of that was scheme and personnel versus effort? How good do they need to be on that end of the court to succeed? And what is Alex hearing from Rick Carlisle’s crew about their plans to improve this season?
Alex also tells us what to expect from the Pacers rotation this year. They have a lot of young talent and depth, particularly on the wing. How does Coach Carlisle plan to balance development versus winning? And what is it about Jarace Walker, Aaron Nesmith, and Ben Sheppard in particular that has Alex excited about their futures?
We finish up with Alex’s predictions for this season. What does a successful season look like for Indiana? Who should be the #1 option between Tyrese and Pascal Siakim? And which player does Alex think will play a much bigger role than people expect in the success of the team? Tap in for that and more!

A season FULL of incredible individual performances! How do you even begin to figure out who deserves to be recognized for their play? Kevin “K-Dot” Lewis of The 9450 stops by to discuss the 2024 WNBA awards!
Starting off with the rookies, Caitlin Clark figured things out quick, fast, and in a hurry. For her amazing rookie campaign, she earned Rookie of the Year honors. However, the race was much closer than the vote would have you believe. How close was Angel Reese to winning it, who else came on strong at the end, and did the voters get the All-Rookie Team selections right?
Then, there was no question who was coming away with MVP this season. It was simply a matter of whether or not it would be unanimous, and it was! K-Dot puts A’ja Wilson’s historic career into perspective. How in the hell was she able to level up after already being at the top of the league? Also, I tell you which player I was shocked to see not make it onto anybody’s ballot.
The Defensive Player of the Year Award is always one of the toughest for voters to decide. Kevin tells us why that is and his own personal criteria for making the pick. We also discuss the challenges of evaluating post defenders versus perimeter defenders, which may have led to DiJonai Carrington only receiving one vote.
However, DiJonai did come away with the Most Improved Player Award. Which teammate of hers should have received some recognition as well? And who should or shouldn’t be eligible to win this award?
We finish up with the Coach of the Year Award along with an epic rant about the Chicago Sky’s decision to fire Teresa Weatherspoon after one season. K-Dot also puts on his Nostra-Dot-mus hat and tells us what to expect from the rest of the playoffs! Tap in!

Danny Foxworth of At The Plate with Danny Foxworth stops by to answer 5 burning questions about this MLB season! We discuss this historic 50/50 season by Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani. Is he already one of the greatest hitters ever? And why does the NL MVP race between him and Mets star Francisco Lindor feel like deja vu all over again?
Then, we talk about some new stars who have popped up on our radars this season! Where did they come from and are they here to stay? We move on to discussing some lowlights of the year, particularly the most disappointing teams. The Chicago White Sox seem like an easy pick, but disappointment comes in many forms.
On the flip side, Danny gives us the teams that scare him the most headed into this postseason as we discuss why the MLB playoffs are the most exciting postseason in professional sports. And we wrap things up by talking about ballpark food!

Tap in as I go over the most important changes taking place this college football season! As of right now, all of our teams are still technically in national championship contention. To get there, they’ll have to survive the newly expanded college football playoff. How does it work, does it screw over Notre Dame, and why do Power 4 teams need to aim for the top 11?
Speaking of Power 4 teams, RIP to the Pac-12. Well, kinda. Let’s talk about all of the shuffling that took place from conference to conference during the absurd realignment we saw in the offseason. Also, I’ll grade each conference on how they handled it based on who made the best decision for college football fans.
Programs weren’t the only thing on the move. Players and coaches jumped around as well. Let’s talk about which moves I expect to be the most impactful this season. Finally, we finish up with the worst change of them all. Tune in so you’re ready for week 1 of the action!

Coach Herbert Johnson is BACK to break down the incredible photo finish in the Olympic final of the men’s 100m! Despite looking vulnerable during the rounds, Noah Lyles outleaned Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson for gold in a STACKED field. We talk about how Kishane’s otherworldly speed may have come back to bite him! Also, we discuss what the rest of the field looked like in one of the most competitive men’s fields in recent history.
We also talk about Julien Alfred’s decisive gold medal victory for St. Lucia in the women’s 100m. How much did a warm-up snafu affect Sha’Carri Richardson’s performance? And was that the reason behind Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce’s shocking DNS? We also talk about what this performance means for the future of Melissa Jefferson!
Then, we have a discussion about Jamaica’s disappointing Olympic performance. They’ve been the standard in the sport for a long time, but things are obviously changing. What is the legacy they’ve left behind and can they turn things around in time for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles?
We finish things up by talking about the changes we’d like to see in track and field coverage in the United States, what Coach Johnson is looking forward to in the remaining events, reacting to some live news about events that were happening during our recording, and more!

It’s safe to say the WNBA has more than lived up to the hype so far this season! We’re witnessing some historic individual performances. What does that mean for the awards conversation? Let’s break down what we’re seeing and where my votes would go if I had them!
Starting off with the MVP race! With all of the talent in the league, it says a lot that this one isn’t even close. A’ja Wilson should win this one easily. Let’s talk about how she’s managed to elevate her game to another level! Is she giving us the greatest individual season in the history of the WNBA? I also zoom out and tell you who would be leading the MVP race if A’ja didn’t exist!
We can’t talk about WNBA awards without discussing the Rookie of the Year race! This one has gone back and forth all season. Let’s talk about why rookies SHOULD struggle, the struggles Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark have had so far, and how concerned I am about those struggles. We also have to dive into how they’ve been able to overcome the odds to deliver some fantastic performances! Finally, I do manage to split hairs enough to tell you who is leading this race right now!
Then, I move on to the Defensive Player of the Year award. Spoiler alert: a lot of the names here have already been discussed this episode! Whose performances have impressed, what’s the story behind all the numbers, and how do you compare post players with perimeter players? Let’s figure it out!
The Most Improved Player award has the most subjective criteria of all the awards. I share what mine is and how that shapes this race for me. Then, I finish up with another tough one as we look at the 6th Player of the Year award. This one is PACKED with enough WNBA talk to get you through the Olympic break! Tap in!

With nearly 50 years of experience coaching high-level athletes, including Olympic Silver Medalist Raven Saunders, you would be hard-pressed to find someone more knowledgeable than Coach Herbert Johnson. I’m incredibly grateful that he graced us with his presence to help me break down some of the marquee events of the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris!
We start things off with the Women’s 100m. American Sha’Carri Richardson looks to cap off an incredible comeback story by bringing home the Gold. But, as always, the Jamaicans have something to say about that. We discuss the differences between Richardson and Shericka Jackson’s skillsets plus the odds of sprint legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce to once again find the podium.
The Men’s 100m has its own USA-Jamaica rivalry. Noah Lyles is one of the most polarizing figures in the sport, but also one of the most talented. Can Jamaicans Kishane Thompson and Oblique Seville silence him? Or will Italy’s Lamont Jacobs show the world once again why he’s the reigning 100m Gold Medalist? Coach Johnson also talks about how the physiology of sprinters has changed over time.
Then, we move on to discussing the potential of world records falling. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone’s lowered her own 400m hurdle world record at the US Olympic Trials. Can she do it again? Or will Femke Bol prove that Sydney has more to compete against than just the clock? Also, Sweden’s Mondo Duplantis is the king of the Pole Vault. Coach explains what makes him so great and what has to happen for him to once again set a world record.
We finish up with the Women’s Shot Put! Coach Johnson discovered Raven Saunders as a high school freshman at Burke High School in Charleston, SC. As their coach, he helped guide Raven to the National High School record in the Shot Put. They have once again teamed up heading into this Olympic Games as they look to recreate that magic. Coach Johnson talks about why Raven is his favorite to bring home the Gold but also breaks down why the other athletes will make it a tall task. We also have a conversation about his coaching philosophy, including his years coaching me!

As Paul George leaves the Clippers for the 76ers in free agency, it’s the perfect time to look back at the move that brought him to LA in the first place! The Clippers swung for the fences during the 2019 offseason and landed both PG13 and Kawhi Leonard, but the price was STEEP! At first glance, it was a blowout in favor of the Oklahoma City Thunder, but is that actually the case or did the Clippers do what they had to do? Let’s break it down!

A report came out that a statistician for the Chicago Bulls was apparently giving Michael Jordan stats he didn’t earn during his 1987-’88 Defensive Player of the Year season. This revelation has sparked a discussion about whether or not Jordan’s award that year should count and the effect that taking that award away would have on the NBA’s GOAT discussion. Let’s break down the role stats played in the Defensive Player of the Year voting that season AND how stats and awards factor into the GOAT talks!
The Rundown:

03:07 Is Jordan’s DPOY valid?
08:00 How much do stats matter in the GOAT discussion?
10:22 How much do awards matter in the GOAT discussion?

Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers seems like a good guy. How else can you explain him getting high profile job after high profile job? However, he has or will ruin everything we love about basketball and sports media! Let’s talk about how things started going downhill way back during his days of coaching the Orlando Magic. We’ll go over how each of his team’s featured figures has played prominent roles in coaching fiascos and the decline of sports media! As a bonus, I’ll give my thoughts on the Lakers hiring JJ Redick as their next head coach. Tap in!

Former NBA player Jabari Parker just finished his first season overseas. Why did a reporter’s question about it stop him in his tracks? Let’s talk about what happens when things do not go how you thought they would, why everyone who has played sports can relate, and why that isn’t necessarily a bad thing!
Then, as you may have noticed, I have been on a mini-hiatus. During my break, I attended the Black Sports Business Symposium in Atlanta. Let’s talk about what I did, what big names were there, and what I learned, ate, and drank!

Former NBA guard Austin Rivers’ comments about it being easier for NBA players to play football than it would be for NFL players to play basketball is the latest and loudest version of a debate that’s been raging on forever. As a former hooper myself, I have my own thoughts (and biases!) on the matter, but I set out to end the debate once and for all by putting together a football team comprised ENTIRELY of current NBA players. Tap in for the kind of reasoning and logic you’ve come to expect from yours truly and leave your own thoughts in the comments!

The Brandeis University athletic program finds itself in some hot water that has athletes threatening to leave. Let’s talk about why it’s the craziest scandal you haven’t heard of yet and why this school in particular should know better!
Then, I’ve picked up on a pet peeve of mine from the NBA regular season that is slowly but surely creeping into postseason play too. What is it, where did it originate, and what does it have to do with the TV show “Survivor?”

A record-breaking NCAA Tournament that saw Dawn Staley and the South Carolina Gamecocks cap off their undefeated season with a national title has many basketball fans going through hoops withdrawal, but WNBA season is right around the corner! The festivities kick off Monday, April 15th with the WNBA draft where you can see where some of March Madness’ biggest stars are going to spend their pro career. Kevin “KDot” Lewis of The 9450 stops by to talk about what we can expect come draft night!
KDot explains what exactly Kamilla Cardoso did during the Gamecocks’ title run to help her draft stock and where she can expect to go in the top 4. He also addresses why some are expecting Caitlin Clark to have an adjustment period to the pro game, whether history tells us that’s accurate, and how you can expect CC to contribute immediately to the Indiana Fever.
We also talk about what makes Tennessee’s Rickea Jackson the best 2-way player in the draft. Kevin also breaks down Angel Reese’s game and tells me which WNBA coach he thinks can help her maximize her potential. KDot also goes over some overseas talent we need to get familiar with quick as well as some sleeper picks he thinks will be able to not only make a roster but contribute right away! This one is FULL of knowledge so tap in!

It comes as no surprise that Jose Tellez’s passion for sports is a lifelong endeavor. Born into a family of diehard sports fans, Tellez was encouraged to try any and every sport as he grew into a talented athlete. Eventually, soccer won out over all the rest, but a less-than-ideal college experience combined with a career-ending injury caused Jose to fight to hold onto the passion for the game he loved.
Tellez redirected his love for the game into founding Golz TV where he works to platform content creators who love soccer like he does as they work together to make soccer cool in America! Tune in to hear Jose’s story as he talks about the importance of trying as many things as possible to find your passion, how devastating events can actually help guide you to your true calling, the journey he took to get Golz TV where it is today, and how he sees soccer growing in America!
Also, we cover his Dallas Cowboys fandom, what our parents got wrong about video games, and why you should give soccer a chance! Tap in and hear all that and more as I get a chance to have yet another inspiring conversation with someone putting in the work out here in the sports media industry!

JJ Redick was a busy man last week! He had thoughts about Doc Rivers, NBA fans, and the media. He claims it’s the media’s job to educate fans about basketball, but NBA fans want drama instead. Is he right? Whose fault is it? And what role did NBA players play by putting on another pitiful All-Star Weekend performance?
I answer all of those questions and more! Let’s look at what fans want, how media companies measure it, and how JJ is the perfect embodiment of the current state of affairs! Tap in!

The 1980s NBA was dominated by the rivalry between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics, but 1 team managed to have a more dominant title run than either of them: the 1983 Philadelphia 76ers! Philly’s own Tanya Morris of Mom Your Business joins me to talk about one of the league’s most forgotten championship teams!
Tanya tells me how her hometown team caught her attention initially by acquiring the legendary Julius Erving. We also discuss the weird circumstances that led to Dr. J going to the 76ers and his immediate impact!
While the Doctor was certainly the biggest name on the team, the 76ers slowly surrounded him with an incredible supporting cast of Hall of Fame-level talent. Maurice Cheeks, Bobby Jones, Andrew Toney, and more played important roles for the perennial Eastern Conference contenders, but they are mostly forgotten today so we show them some love!
Speaking of underrated stars, Tanya talks about what it was like when the 76ers got the final piece of their championship puzzle, Moses Malone. She tells me how great he was prior to coming to Philly, how the city reacted to his acquisition, and how the move compares to Kevin Durant joining the Golden State Warriors.
Then, after years of getting close but coming up short, the 76ers have a historic regular season and playoff run that leads to an NBA title! Tanya talks about the excitement of watching that in real-time, how it felt when the final buzzer sounded, and her level of optimism about the team moving forward.
Unfortunately, that core group of 76ers never reached that level again. We talk about the injuries and bad moves that led to the franchise going from potential dynasty to one of the worst in the league.
We couldn’t talk about Philadelphia 76ers basketball without talking about Allen Iverson. Clearly, AI was an incredible player and cultural icon, but Tanya tells me just how much love the city has for him! We also talk about what it was like being in the city as he led the team back to the NBA Finals. Tanya also tells me about some other Philly basketball legends!
We finish up the basketball talk with the current 76ers squad. Has the team met expectations for this season? Are they headed in the right direction? Tanya also gives a detailed breakdown of Joel Embiid’s game.
Finally, Tanya tells me about the great work she’s doing at Mom Your Business! She explains how she’s working to address poverty in the Black community, the extra obstacles facing Black entrepreneurs, and why the success of Black women leads to the success of everyone!

Danny Foxworth just celebrated his 1st podcasting anniversary, and what a year it was! He drops by to share his experience. We talk about the motivation behind starting his podcasts, why he decided to do not 1 but 2 podcasts, and overcoming nerves to take that first step!
He also tells me how he tries to provide something different in an oversaturated podcasting market while also making his content something everybody can relate to. Then, he breaks down the many different ways he uses social media for good (booking guests, promotion, etc.), and how he’s able to use social media while also staying away from the negativity that can be found on it.
Most importantly, Danny explains to me the importance of having fun with what you do and not being afraid to celebrate your successes! Tap into this one and be sure to check out more of Danny’s work below!

My dog, Kobe, normally handles all my NFL picks, but I’ve decided to see how I stack up against him using this week’s NFL Divisional Round games! Not only do we both make picks, but I also provide some light analysis as well as a few storylines to pay attention to!
The first game is the Houston Texans versus the Baltimore Ravens. Texans rookie QB C.J. Stroud has had an incredible season, including last week’s performance against the Browns. But can he do enough to overcome MVP frontrunner Lamar Jackson and the Ravens?
Then, we look at the Green Bay Packers versus the San Francisco 49ers. This one brings back memories! Can the Packers make some more and pull off a second straight upset this postseason? Or are the 49ers just too powerful?
The Detroit Lions versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is probably the most lowkey matchup of the weekend. Can the Lions use an extra caffeinated Dan Campbell to build on their newfound playoff success? Or will Baker Mayfield shock the world? Also, I give some love to an underappreciated future Hall of Famer!
We finish up with the marquee matchup of the weekend, the Buffalo Bills versus the Kansas City Chiefs! These two know each other well and it hasn’t gone Buffalo’s way when they’ve matched up in the playoffs before, but can the Bills take advantage of a down year for the Chiefs offense to get over the hump? Tap in!
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
01:37 Texans vs. Ravens
05:48 49ers vs. Packers
10:02 Bucs vs. Lions
13:35 Bills vs. Chiefs

Chicago Bulls fans are still upset at the way their dynasty ended in 1998 and booed the team’s late general manager, Jerry Krause, at a Ring of Honor ceremony last week. But is it time to end this long-standing grudge? More importantly, should they have been mad at Krause in the first place? Tap in and see why it’s impossible to love Michael Jordan but hate Jerry Krause in this special mid-week mini!

The Los Angeles Lakers are once again off to a slow start which means head coach Darvin Ham is officially on the hot seat. This is a common occurrence for LeBron James-led teams, but is it his fault? And why doesn’t he have a coach associated with his greatness the way other all-time greats do?
Let’s take a look back at LeBron’s career to see if we can get some answers! I go coach-by-coach to examine their relationship with LeBron at the time, how their teams performed, why their time as the coach came to an end, and the role LeBron played in it all!
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
00:23 LeBron heating up Ham’s seat
03:39 The bilingual Paul Silas
09:07 Mike Brown is just happy to be here

Special Sunday show! P.D. Inabinett of the Gamecocks Football Captain's Log joins me to preview the matchup between the Washington Huskies and the Michigan Wolverines! We start off by looking back at each team’s season to see how they got here in the first place.
Then, we discuss what to expect in the game itself. Is Michigan’s defense for real? Or will Michael Penix Jr. tear them apart like he’s done every other team this year? We go over what has to happen for each team to win AND what we think will happen!
After that, we zoom out and recap the season as a whole. What surprised us? Did the Playoff Committee make the right picks? Was Jaylen Daniels really the Heisman winner in our eyes? We also talk about how the Heisman Trophy has changed in our lifetimes and what we think the criteria should be.
Finally, we look ahead to the expanded college football playoffs that are on the way starting next season. Does it make sense? Is the season too long? And should anything be done about the transfer portal? Tap in and enjoy!

Brett comes by to recap the wildness that was the Shohei Ohtani free agency saga! As diehard college football fans, how shocked were we that the baseball media failed so hard at the plane-tracking game? How scared were we that the Blue Jays rumors were true?
Then, we have an extended discussion on the state of sports media and media as a whole. We debate the value of news breakers, the role the attention economy plays, and who is ultimately to blame for it all. I also get to rant about Pat McAfee and Aaron Rodgers for longer than it took to get my actual point across. Tap in!
The Rundown:

01:36 Recapping the Ohtani sweepstakes
18:04 The value of breaking news

As the holidays approach, not everybody is in a jolly mood! We take a look at how a couple of NBA stars compare to the Grinch who stole Christmas!
Draymond Green has been suspended yet again. What does his latest tantrum tell us about how Draymond views his actions? Have those actions been enabled by the Golden State Warriors organization, including Steve Kerr and Steph Curry? More importantly, will he ever turn it around?
Then, we move on to the most childish NBA beef in recent history: Giannis Antetokounmpo’s quest to retrieve a game ball from the Indiana Pacers. Are we finally seeing some cracks in Giannis’ made-for-Disney persona? Who REALLY deserved the ball? Let’s do a breakdown on the post-game press conference and see if we can figure out the TRUTH! Tap in!
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
02:15 You’re a mean one, Draymond
06:50 Are Kendrick Perkins and Stephen A. right?
09:20 Giannis’ Grinch impression

It’s fastbreak time! Go around the hoops world quick, fast, and in a hurry! First up, recapping the NBA’s In-Season Tournament! The Indiana Pacers have themselves a star in Tyrese Haliburton! He’s the key to the league’s most impressive offense. Did his “Dame Time” celebration make Damien Lillard mad? Should it have?
Next, it’s time we have the Zion discussion. What is going on? Were Shaq and Charles Barkley right to stage an on-air intervention? How many more chances is he going to get to get in shape and fulfill his enormous potential?
We move on to talk about how I feel about the Lakers winning the tournament. What makes LeBron so incredible and why didn’t Sports Illustrated see Austin Reaves coming? Also, does this tournament win actually mean anything?
Speaking of winning, the South Carolina Lady Gamecocks have done a lot of that under Dawn Staley. A lot of people thought this year would be different…but they were loud wrong! What makes this season so impressive and can they really contend for a national championship?
Then, I tell you why to pay attention to Utah’s Alissa Pili and UCLA’s Lauren Betts! And we finish up talking about my early thoughts on the WNBA’s draft lottery and a couple of prospects you should be watching. Tap in!
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
01:14 Some shine for new teams and stars
03:48 Zion’s big problems

I’m talking with San Diego native and the man behind The Bogey Blog, James Paige, about his favorite team ever, the 1994 San Diego Chargers! That team came seemingly out of nowhere to make the Super Bowl before facing off with the STACKED San Francisco 49ers in what ended up being one of the most lopsided Super Bowls ever, but it wasn’t all bad. In fact, they were super interesting!
We talk about what James remembers from the years leading up to the 1994 team, including the hiring of former Citadel football coach Bobby Ross! How long until James was infected with the standard San Diegan sports fan sense of impending doom?
We also go through and remember some guys! How much knowledge did I retain from years of playing Madden and watching the Carolina Panthers lose as a child (some things never change)? Who is Mark Seay and why does he have the most incredible story you’ve never heard of? James also tells some stories of seeing the Chargers out and about in San Diego!
James talks about the 1994 NFL playoffs, including how low his expectations were and why he watched the games by himself. He talks about the joy of watching that team make the Super Bowl and how quickly it all went away when he realized who they were playing.
What was it like watching his favorite team go up against a team loaded with future Hall of Famers? And how long before all hope was lost? We go through the agony of being on the losing end of one of the biggest blowouts in Super Bowl history.
Finally, I aim to depress you by talking about the many different ways players from that 1994 team have died, why you will never love sports the way you did as a child, and the harsh realities of sports fandom. James talks about how the franchises move to LA affected him and how ownership missteps drove his own grandfather away from the Chargers years earlier!
Who is YOUR favorite team ever? Hit me up if you want to come on and talk about them!
Check out James and The Bogey Blog on Instagram @the_bogey_blog
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
02:39 James’ early Chargers fandom and the years leading up to ‘94
08:37 Low hopes heading into the 1994 NFL season
10:07 Let’s remember some guys!
25:14 Entering the ‘94 playoffs with low expectations
28:12 The AFC Championship Game vs. the Steelers
37:39 A Super Bowl against a stacked 49ers team
47:45 Decades of a Super Bowl hangover
52:53 The curse of the ‘94 Chargers
01:00:04 The harsh reality of sports fandom

As I launch a new series where I talk to people about their favorite teams ever, I start with my own, the mid-’90s Houston Rockets! Houston native and diehard sports fan KP joins me as we go through everything that led up to those Rockets’ teams capturing back-to-back NBA titles!
We start in the ‘70s and ‘80s when a young KP first became a Rockets fan himself! KP talks about the difficulty of even watching the NBA on TV, the underappreciated greatness of Moses Malone, and the drafting of Ralph Sampson. Which current NBA player reminds KP of Ralph?
We move on to the Rockets winning a coinflip to draft Hakeem and forming possibly the greatest big man 1-2 punch in the history of the game only to see a potential dynasty derailed by injuries and cocaine! How did a team that upset the Showtime Lakers to face the Celtics in the NBA Finals find itself floundering in NBA purgatory for YEARS?
Then, a familiar face returns as the Rockets build out a roster fit for a contender! How did a new system and young players help Hakeem cement himself as the best player in the league? Also, the road from Choke City to Clutch City and a rematch of the 1984 NCAA Finals with a special guest appearance from OJ Simpson.
Getting on top is hard, but staying there is even harder. We talk about the challenges facing Houston as they tried to repeat as NBA champions and how those struggles led to trading for Houston’s own Clyde Drexler. Also, a Dream Finals run that featured a Kiss of Death, an MVP showdown with David Robinson, and a young, svelte Shaq!
We finish up with how the dynasty ended, Hakeem Olajuwon’s place in history, and the cold reality of being a sports fan! We also talk about missed free throws, the importance of role players, and fighting sleep! Tap in and hit me up if you want to talk about your favorite team ever!

College football has been hit by scandal after scandal recently, so I had to pull in my college football experts to help me break it all down! P.D. of the Gamecocks Football Captain’s Log and Brett of Brett’s Bets join me to talk about everything going on in the world of college football AND we get a special guest appearance from The Expert to pick some of this weekend’s games!
First, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney had a showdown with Tyler from Spartanburg about the Tigers' awful season. Who was right? Who was wrong? And why did Tyler’s call remind me of one of rap’s most famous diss tracks? We also talk about why Clemson’s program has been on a downward trend and if we expect to see Dabo coaching somewhere else soon!
Next up, Michigan is in hot water over a sign-stealing scandal. How big of a deal is it really though? And when does cheating cross the line? Also, we talk about whether we think Jim Harbaugh knew about it, if the College Football Playoff Committee should factor it into their rankings, and Connor Stalions’ chances of becoming a head coach.
Then, Deion Sanders has far exceeded expectations in his first year as Colorado’s head coach, but his offensive linemen haven’t and he decided to let them know about it. Is this different from how college football coaches typically handle poor play? Will it inspire his players to do better? And we discuss how the criticism Coach Prime has received so far sometimes misses the mark.
Finally, Iowa has one of the worst offenses we’ve seen. As a result, they announced offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz won’t return next season. Will this make Thanksgiving Dinner awkward since his dad, Kirk, is the head coach? Will Kirk leave too? How quickly would Brett fire his own son? And we laugh at some ridiculous stats from the Hawkeyes’ season so far.
As a bonus, we also give Brett the chance to rant about South Carolina football for a bit!
Tap into this one and don’t forget to check out the Gamecocks Football Captain’s Log every Wednesday morning and Brett’s Bets every Friday morning on the Beyond The Arc with Brandon Silvers YouTube Channel!

Gymnastics is a sport that most of us pay attention to every 4 years when the Olympics are on, but what do the actual athletes have to go through just to get a chance for that moment? Taylor King sits down with me to talk about her experience as an elite gymnast growing up in Kentucky!
We talk about how she got started, the commitment involved, and the importance of having supportive parents in your corner! Taylor also details her experiences with coaches, some good and some bad, and how they shaped her approach to helping other gymnasts as she transitioned into coaching herself!
She also breaks down what makes Simone Biles so great and why she made the right decision to step aside in the 2021 Olympics for her mental and physical health. Also, we discuss the impact the 1996 Olympic US women’s gymnastics team had on us!
Finally, Taylor also tells me how the dedication that she developed during her time as a gymnast has helped her balance being a devoted mother and successful general manager of Morrison Yard Residences here in Charleston, SC! We also break some exciting news about events we’ll both be a part of at Morrison Yard!
Tap in for all this and more in this super dope conversation! Morrison Yard event details are below!

The 2023-24 NBA season is upon us, but how can we possibly know what’s going to happen? Real hoopers know there’s one surefire way to tell the contenders from the pretenders, and that’s the eye test! So tap in as I break down each team and tell you what I love about them, what I hate about them, and if they’ll be seeing the Larry O’Brien trophy this year!
Let’s talk about the Southeast Division! The Atlanta Hawks will play their first full season under head coach Quin Snyder. Can he work his magic with Trae Young and Dejounte Murray and get them to the playoffs? Or should they move one of them and start over?
The Charlotte Hornets have been an absolute mess both on and off the court recently. Can they get it together at all? And is Lamelo Ball the right guy to build this franchise around?
Jimmy Butler always seems to make sure the Miami Heat overachieve my season preview predictions. Can he possibly pull it off again? Or will their inability to land a superstar come back to haunt them?
The Orlando Magic might be the best young team you don’t know about! Let’s talk about the pieces they have and if they’ll be able to make any noise in the playoffs this season.
We finish up with the Washington Wizards. It looks like they’ve decided to bottom out and Jordan Poole will lead the way. But will they at least be entertaining? Tap in and find out! Also, be sure to check out my other division previews!
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
01:14 Atlanta Hawks
08:09 Charlotte Hornets
14:19 Miami Heat
20:58 Orlando Magic
25:31 Washington Wizards

So tap in as I break down each team and tell you what I love about them, what I hate about them, and if they’ll be seeing the Larry O’Brien trophy this year!
Let’s talk about the Atlantic Division! The Boston Celtics have been Eastern Conference contenders for years now, but haven’t been able to get over that championship hump. Is this the year Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown finally make it happen? Or will they be tripped up yet again?
The Brooklyn Nets moved on from their superteam experiment, but came away with a lot of nice pieces. Can new #1 option Mikal Bridges develop into an all-star this season and get them back to the postseason? Will Ben Simmons finally be ready to play up to his potential?
Jalen Brunson was even better than advertised for the New York Knicks last year. Can Julius Randle adjusted to being the second option this team needs to make a deep postseason run? Or will Knicks fans once again be disappointed?
The Philadelphia 76ers are an absolute mess right now. Can last season’s MVP Joel Embiid lead this team to wins while they figure out what they’re doing with the always-disgruntled James Harden? Also, is Darryl Morey a supervillain?
We finish up with the Toronto Raptors! This team appears to be stuck in neutral. What’s Masai Ujiri’s plan moving forward? Are there any pieces here worth building around? Don’t forget to tap into the other previews!
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
01:11 Boston Celtics
09:11 Brooklyn Nets
14:12 New York Knicks
21:34 Philadelphia 76ers
27:29 Toronto Raptors

The 2023-24 NBA season is upon us, but how can we possibly know what’s going to happen? Real hoopers know there’s one surefire way to tell the contenders from the pretenders, and that’s the eye test! So tap in as I break down each team and tell you what I love about them, what I hate about them, and if they’ll be seeing the Larry O’Brien trophy this year!
Let’s talk about the Pacific Division! The Golden State Warriors have been this generation’s dynasty. Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green are running it back one more time and bringing along an old adversary in Chris Paul. Do they have enough left in the tank for one last title run?
The Los Angeles Clippers have managed to stay afloat despite the well-documented injury issues of their 2 superstars, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Will this be the year they’re finally healthy enough to make a run or will head coach Ty Lue have to find other pieces who can get this squad to the postseason?
LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers made a surprising run in last year’s postseason! The team also made a lot of moves in the offseason that look great on paper. Will it all come together on the court so they can add another championship to LeBron’s already-stacked legacy?
The Phoenix Suns have the most talented offensive trio in the NBA in Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and Bradley Beal. Will they be able to score enough to overcome issues with depth and defense? Or will it all implode as they try to figure out how to balance things offensively?
We finish up with the Sacramento Kings! Last year’s surprise team succumbed to their inexperience in last year’s playoffs. Will they put the knowledge from that valuable lesson to good use this year or do they still need more time in the classroom?
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
01:11 Golden State Warriors
09:24 Los Angeles Clippers
14:00 Los Angeles Lakers
20:45 Phoenix Suns
26:34 Sacramento Kings

So tap in as I break down each team and tell you what I love about them, what I hate about them, and if they’ll be seeing the Larry O’Brien trophy this year!
Let’s talk about the Central Division! The Chicago Bulls are a long way from the dynasty of my childhood. Are they at least headed in the right direction or do they need to blow it up and start over?
Then, we need to talk about what the Cleveland Cavaliers are building! They’ve surrounded Donovan Mitchell with some of the best young stars in the game in Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen. But is it enough to make it to the NBA Finals?
The Detroit Pistons aren’t Finals-bound for a while, but they are stockpiling young talent! Can a healthy Cade Cunningham possibly help them make a run for the play-in? Or are they still a year away from Jalen Duren and Jaden Ivey being ready to contribute for a contender?
The Indiana Pacers spent half of last season looking like a playoff team. Can Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin finish the job this year? Or do they still need to make a move or two?
We finish up with the Milwaukee Bucks! We’ve had a couple of weeks to digest the blockbuster trade that got them Damien Lillard. Is it going to be enough to get him his first ring? Also, what do Dame and Giannis have in common that drives me crazy?
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
01:12 Chicago Bulls
07:30 Cleveland Cavaliers
12:40 Detroit Pistons
18:38 Indiana Pacers
23:40 Milwaukee Bucks

So tap in as I break down each team and tell you what I love about them, what I hate about them, and if they’ll be seeing the Larry O’Brien trophy this year!
Let’s talk about the Southwest Division! The Dallas Mavericks have one of the most talented duos in the league in Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, but will that be enough? And which current NBA player is Luka WORSE than?
Then, it’s time for the Houston Rockets! New coach and a lot of new faces, including one of the league’s most ridiculous players, Dillon Brooks. Can Fred Van Vleet’s veteran leadership win out and help guide the young Rockets like Jalen Green or will they all be trying to fight Shannon Sharpe by the end of the year?
The Memphis Grizzlies had a very eventful season last year. With superstar Ja Morant set to miss the first 25 games, can they stay afloat with Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr.? And whose Defensive Player of the Year trophy is more fraudulent between JJJ and new addition Marcus Smart?
Zion Williamson had an embarrassing offseason. Is that the motivation he needs to have the best season of his career and help the New Orleans Pelicans capitalize on all of their talent? Or will it be more of the same with Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum trying to make it work?
We finish up with the San Antonio Spurs! Gregg Popovich led a successful tank last year to get the best prospect since LeBron James in Victor Wembanyama. How soon will big Vic contribute? And did you know there’s some other talent here as well??? Be on the lookout for the other previews!
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
01:09 Dallas Mavericks
07:57 Houston Rockets
13:06 Memphis Grizzlies
19:40 New Orleans Pelicans
26:29 San Antonio Spurs

So tap in as I break down each team and tell you what I love about them, what I hate about them, and if they’ll be seeing the Larry O’Brien trophy this year!
Let’s talk about the Northwest Division! The Denver Nuggets are your reigning NBA champs, but repeating is tough. Do they have what it takes? Or will Nikola Jokic shift his focus to his prized horses and the Kentucky Derby?
Then, it’s time for the Minnesota Timberwolves! Anthony Edwards looked like a future superstar during this summer’s FIBA World Cup. Is he ready to take the proverbial leap? And is Karl Anthony-Towns going to be cool with it? Also, I tell you which T’Wolves player SHOULD be taking performance-enhancing drugs!
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder were one of the most talented young teams in the league last season. Can they take the next step and become a playoff team? Who is REALLY their second-best player? And what should we expect from Chet Holmgren this season?
The Portland Trail Blazers had a showdown with a franchise player and lived to tell the tale! But do they have the right pieces in place for a rebuild? Also, why I’m excited about Scoot Henderson’s comps! Plus, how many people have referred to Deandre Ayton as “Domin-ayton.”
We finish up with the Utah Jazz. What’s the deal with hiking? Does Jordan Clarkson do it? I also tell you about some Nordic NBA history AND continue several beefs I’ve had for years now! Be on the lookout for the other previews!
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
01:14 Denver Nuggets
06:56 Minnesota Timberwolves
13:32 Oklahoma City Thunder
19:52 Portland Trail Blazers
26:09 Utah Jazz

The Indianapolis Colts finally signed star running back Jonathan Taylor to a contract extension, but the value of NFL running backs as a whole has plummeted. They've hopped on Zoom meetings, discussed work stoppages, and more to try and figure out how to get paid. How did it come to this and what do quarterbacks have to do with it?
Let's take a look at how things used to be, how we got here, and where we've seen this happen in other sports. Also, I've got the PERFECT solution for everyone involved thanks to baseball!
Then, the WNBA has been in the news for their new Oakland franchise and the much-hyped finals between the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty! Unfortunately, it's not all good news though! Los Angeles Sparks player Dearica Hamby filed an EEOC lawsuit against the league and the Aces relating to her trade after becoming pregnant.
Let's talk about what the lawsuit is alleging, how this is unique to women's sports, businesses' obligations to employees, and the mistake I made in judging the WNBA. Tap in!
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
01:11 Minimum wage running backs
03:53 Quarterbacks are being greedy
07:56 Another save by John Smoltz
11:41 We’ve seen this before
12:47 The Hamby Lawsuit
18:32 Clearly unique to women’s sports
19:50 Doing things the “right way” is still punished
21:40 The WNBA is a business

It’s time for the MLB playoffs! What a season! From the rule changes to records being broken to new teams emerging as contenders, it has been action-packed! Brett joins me to look back at all that happened and talk about what to expect in the postseason as we debut the HOTTEST new game in sports media, “Fair or Foul!”
Pitch clocks, defensive shifts, bigger bases, oh my! Major League Baseball made it a point to implement new rules in an effort to make the game more entertaining…were they successful? How much did they change the game? We got it covered!
Then, we’ve got to talk about the National League MVP race! Atlanta Braves superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. seems to have it locked up after his unprecedented 40/70 season, but could a couple of Los Angeles Dodgers have something to say about that? Or maybe even a teammate of his?
Not everyone had a great season though. We talk about what in the world happened to White Sox SS Tim Anderson. From baby mama drama to getting knocked out to not hitting anything, 2023 was a rough one for one of the game’s most exciting players. We have to talk about that AND whether or not there should be any fighting in baseball ever.
Speaking of fighting in baseball, the San Diego Padres clubhouse probably wants to fight their all-star closer, Josh Hader. Should they though? Or should players make it a point to prioritize themselves over the team when free agency is looming?
You can’t talk about free agency without talking about spending money. Have the dynamics of the league changed from the days of the Yankees guaranteeing success by outspending everyone else? Or do you still need an owner who loves to spend if you want to win?
Finally, we talk about what to expect from the MLB playoffs! There have been a couple of powerhouse teams this year, but that doesn’t always mean they’re going to continue their success in the postseason. Who will be lifting up the World Series trophy this year?
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
02:18 Did the rule changes work?
15:00 The REAL National League MVP
26:52 Tim Anderson’s season from hell
36:31 Josh Hader? More like Josh We Hate Him
44:55 You have to spend money to make money
53:02 Playoff preview

It’s almost time for the Battle on the Deck, a 3-on-3 basketball tournament held on the flight deck of the USS Yorktown right here in Mt. Pleasant, SC, and in this episode, I am joined by the event organizer and founder of Ballersworld Global, Ern Gass!
We talk about Ern’s hoops background growing up in Sumter, SC that led to him playing at the DI level for the Charleston Southern Buccaneers. Every good story has adversity, so Ern tells me about what he had to face and how that led to the eventual creation of Ballersworld Global.
Then, we get into the event itself! From the bumps along the way early on to the mission behind what Ern is doing with Ballersworld Global to what you can expect at this year’s Battle on the Deck on Saturday, September 30th, 2023!

A lot of heavy topics in the sports world this past week, so let’s get a little more lighthearted and talk about some of my most embarrassing sports moments! Everybody wants to talk about the thrill of victory, but we can all agree the agony of defeat can be a lot funnier.
Let’s get a little more detailed with one of the more formative moments of my life: trying to get Patrick Ewing’s autograph! Who was wrong? Who was right? And how did it show me the true meaning of being a sports fan???
Then, I take y’all through the entirety of my soccer career. Luckily, it was only one ill-fated season. Let’s talk about why! And what happened during that season that SHOULD have led me to Hollywood?
Also, growing up in South Carolina, playing football is a rite of passage…but it shouldn’t be! I’ve got the perfect story to explain why AND it ties into another story involving Nelly and my lifelong pursuit of fitness!
I finish up telling y’all about one of the many times I had to learn the lesson that it’s more important to be smart than brave. It still hasn’t quite sunk in yet, but we move! Tap in!
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
01:24 Birth of a hater
04:24 Messi or Messy?

Everybody remembers the memes flying around about Bishop Sycamore High School’s fake football team! But did you know that the real story is even wilder than you could have imagined? HBO set out to tell us how Bishop Sycamore ended up on ESPN playing against arguably the BEST prep sports program, IMG Academy. So how did they do?
I watched it so I could help you decide whether or not it’s worth your time to check out! I break down how they told the story, the most interesting parts, and how it compares to other recent sports documentaries! Also, I talk about how such a scam was even possible in the first place and what we can learn from the documentary’s main character, disgraced coach Roy Johnson!

The SEC is the BEST conference in college football! So it only makes sense that we break it down in-depth so you're ready for the start of the season. We go through team by team and let you know who is going to be good, who is going to be bad, what changes you may have missed this offseason, and which players you need to keep an eye on!
So tap in as we discuss: which medical device you would use to hide an affair, who Jimbo Fisher's other coordinator choices may have been, how badly Kirby Smart lies about people not believing in his team, why more teams don't consider how far their QBs can throw an orange, and more!

News of Colorado leaving the Pac-12 to go back to the Big 12 has shaken up the college football landscape right before the season is supposed to start! What does it mean for the sport, and why does it feel like we’ve been here before? Let’s go back to the events that led to the founding of the Big 12 to see if we can figure that out!
Does anybody send actual mail anymore? If SMU football taught us anything, you might want to type the address on the envelopes. Especially if you’re breaking NCAA rules! We talk about how the death penalty for SMU football helped lead to the demise of an entire conference and the birth of another!
Then, let’s fast forward a bit to the next major conference realignment move of my lifetime! Miami was a national football powerhouse stuck in a basketball conference…so why did they go to another one? And how did that work out for them? Most importantly, how different are things for the Hurricanes’ football program today?
Next, we check out how the reports of the Big 12’s death ended up being greatly exaggerated but DID kick off more conference realignment that carried us into today’s monster media rights deals! What does the college football landscape look like today, which schools are making the most money, and who needs to be spending that money on catering?!?
Plus, Dabo Swinney, Uncle Luke, and some business advice from the ghost of Scottie Pippen’s past!
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
01:20 How the Southwest Conference died so the Big 12 could live
04:13 Hook and Collateral Damage
06:21 Why Miami football left one basketball conference for another
09:17 Mo Money, Mo Problems
12:04 Mo of the same for The U
14:47 The death of the Big 12?!?
17:07 #2 in your hearts but #1 at the bank!
19:48 The ACC is holding Dabo hostage
21:08 The death of the Pac 12?!?

With another poetry show coming up on August 5th at Hobcaw Brewing Company in Mt. Pleasant, it might shock you to know that poetry wasn’t on Mr. Enlightenment’s radar growing up in Walterboro, SC. Football was though! A standout high school football career that included a state championship led to an opportunity to continue playing at Division II Presbyterian College. He talks about navigating the adjustment period to find success at that level as well.
It was also at Presbyterian College where he discovered that poetry could be more than the traditional forms that we’re taught in school. As a hip-hop aficionado who had grown up freestyling on bus rides to football games, Mr. Enlightenment tells me about the realization that he could take that knowledge and skillset to create his own poems.
We also talk about how he made the leap from writing poems for a class to sharing them with others. He explains the vulnerability in doing that, especially when it comes to performing, and how he learned to deal with all the critiques that come with sharing something you created with the world.
Mr. Enlightenment also tells me the story behind his stage name, why it’s important to him to have sports references in his poems, and how creative writing is a great tool for anyone who needs to get something off their chest!
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
00:56 Football and video games in Walterboro
03:48 Pancaking Albert Haynesworth?!?
07:28 From redshirting for the Blue Hose to 3-year starter
12:10 Don’t sleep on the Division II talent level
14:53 Discovering poetry by avoiding assigned reading
22:43 The path from homework assignments to open mics and the art of being critiqued
31:08 The importance of knowing your audience when performing at Open Mics
36:24 Why creative outlets are such an important tool for expressing ourselves
40:23 The influence of rap on Mr. Enlightenment’s poetry
43:25 The origins of “Mr. Enlightenment” and life as a teacher
53:28 Shifting from the written word to audio
58:12 Where you can catch Mr. Enlightenment in-person or online

Dan LeBatard and his sports podcast “The Dan Lebatard Show with Stugotz” played a major role in my career in the sports media industry. The show is considered to be the best sports show in the industry, and Dan is seen as a champion of diversity. But are Dan and the show living up to that reputation?
Let’s take a look at another self-proclaimed ally in actress Kristen Bell and see what that teaches us about Dan and the show. Kristen has been the main character on Twitter a number of times, but most recently for hosting a dinner party attended only by white people. How were her past slip-ups a result of her lack of Black friends?
How would bringing on more Black on-air talent (specifically Black women) help Dan and the show avoid becoming the Kristen Bell of sports media? And who will suffer the consequences if they continue to wait to do so?
Also, let’s talk about the importance of criticism and how it can be a product of your love of something. It’s an important conversation and I’m glad we’re having it. Pay the teachers!
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
00:40 Why you didn’t see me at Kristen Bell’s dinner party
03:43 Dan LeBatard is responsible for this podcast
06:59 New hire orientation or Kristen Bell dinner party?
07:35 It’s easy for this to happen but needs to be called out
09:45 The lack of different perspectives shows up in the content
13:13 There are consequences for waiting
14:38 The concept of loving accountability

When it comes to US Soccer, the Women’s National Team never disappoints, but will that be the case this time after all of the changes within the program? Brett Gosnell breaks it down so we’re all ready for the Women’s World Cup in Australia!
First, we have to go over all of the workplace issues affecting countries all across the globe. Will we see any nations sit out in protest? Will it affect the on-field product? Pay your women athletes and treat them well so we never have to worry about this again!
Then, Brett walks us through a brief history of the USWNT and all of the changes the program has undergone recently. We take a slight detour with a special guest to discuss former USWNT coach Jill Ellis!
What should we expect from this current iteration of the USWNT? What obstacles have they run into so far? Can they pull it together enough to win another World Cup? We answer those questions because it’s what we do. And by we, I mean Brett.
The theme for this year’s World Cup is parity. We have never seen this many teams with a chance to win it all, so Brett goes through each of the major contenders and tells us what makes them a threat to the USWNT’s chances!
We finish up with some of the most exciting players to watch! A lot of great teams means a lot of great talent so you need to know who to look out for in the games that don’t involve the USWNT. We circle back to more Jill Ellis content for the diehards!
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
01:00 Equal pay and workforce issues across the globe
06:10 A brief history of the USWNT
10:38 An Ode to Jill Ellis
12:55 A brief history of the USWNT (cont.) and how they look now
17:34 USWNT players to watch: a mix of old and new faces!
23:11 Overcoming the issues: how USWNT can win it all
24:52 This year’s theme: parity! All of the USWNT challengers
31:37 Players to watch from around the globe
47:55 Will Brett’s kids go to college? He tells us who he would bet on to win it all
55:47 Behind the scenes of the making of “An Ode to Jill Ellis”

Crina Mustafa is a sports media student, but already a vet in the game! An expert in tennis and basketball who loves covering the women’s game of each, you have seen her EVERYWHERE, particularly if you live in Canada! But how did she get to where she is today?
Crina tells me how Jose Calderon and Simona Halep planted the seeds for her love of sports, and how legendary sports broadcaster Kate Beirness showed her that she could cover sports too!
We get Crina’s analysis of the environment for women in sports media in Canada and also some great tips for building a portfolio quickly while you’re still in school! Also, being on-camera isn’t easy for a lot of us, so what helped Crina build up the confidence to overcome her own shyness to do so?
Also, it’s crucial to build up your own personal brand in this industry, which means using social media. How was Crina able to build up her social media to the point where media outlets were reaching out to her to come work for them while also maintaining healthy boundaries with all the negativity that is on these social media platforms?
We also go over the joy Crina felt at seeing the reception the WNBA got in Canada, the decision she made to take control over her content that led to her starting “Cri’s on Point,” and why she considers it a privilege to cover women’s sports!
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
00:56 Becoming a sports fan in Toronto
05:26 The opportunities for women in sports media in Canada
14:06 How to build a portfolio quickly when you’re new to the sports media game
19:45 Getting comfortable on-camera when you’re shy
26:10 Using social media to build your personal brand
31:55 Setting healthy boundaries with social media use and dealing with negativity online
40:16 The decision to take control by producing your own content
43:59 How Crina felt seeing the love the WNBA got in Toronto
47:23 Why it’s a privilege for Crina to cover women’s sports

A big reason for my renewed interest in Major League Baseball this season has been the “At The Plate with Danny Foxworth” podcast, so who better to have on to discuss what’s gone on so far than the man himself?!?
Starting off, we have to talk about some HISTORIC starts to the year by some incredible players! Nobody has hit for .400 in a season since Ted Williams in 1941. Can Miami Marlins IF Luis Arraez pull it off? Danny gives his thoughts and lets me know how to pronounce “Arraez!”
Danny knew about Cincinnati Reds phenom Elly De La Cruz thanks to a guest on his podcast, but I don’t think anybody expected him to come on the scene THIS hot! Which former Dodger AND former NFL player does he remind me of? And how does he do all this rocking all those chains?
And you can’t talk baseball without talking Shohei! Danny puts into perspective exactly how good Shohei is as a pitcher and hitter as well as how different the ball sounds coming off his bat!
Then, we get into some of our favorite MLB All-Star memories! From iconic moments to wild home run derby performances to the celebrity softball game, we cover it all! And we try to figure out why the MLB draft isn’t as big of an event as other sports drafts. Tap in!

The NBA offseason is underway, and you know what that means: it’s time to overreact! But can overreactions also be right? I think so, and I give you my top overreactions to kick off the offseason!
First, superteams: how good are they? The Phoenix Suns just created the latest ones, so what a great time to go through the history of the NBA superteam and figure out whether or not they’re ACTUALLY super. Let’s look at the success of the Heatles, the “Welcome back, LeBron!” Cavaliers, the KD Golden State Warriors, and more to figure out if it’s worth going all in on 3 superstars!
And how do you get superstars? More importantly, what’s the worst way to find one? That’s right, time to talk tanking! Is losing to get a higher draft pick actually a good way to find your franchise player? Or should you not trust the process? Let’s evaluate the success of some top-5 picks of the past 30 years and see if all the losing is really worth it!
Speaking of tanking, the San Antonio Spurs successfully tanked and got their next future superstar in Victor Wenbenyama! Or did they? Is Vic REALLY destined for greatness? Or will the things that make him so unique also be his downfall?
Karl-Anthony Towns is a game-changing big man himself, according to him and only him. Why is that false and do you really want your big man playing on the perimeter? Or were the boomers right and they need to get down in the post?
More importantly, is the 3-pointer truly the weapon everyone claims it is? Particularly when it’s playoff time? Let’s look at the NBA champions since Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and the Golden State Warriors revolutionized the game and see if 3 really is worth more than 2!
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
00:33 The NBA offseason is incredible
02:19 Superteams have always been a scam
08:35 Tanking is a bad strategy for landing your franchise player
12:09 Victor Wenbenyama is too tall to believe in
15:16 You can’t win if your big man doesn’t play with his back to the basket
17:37 You can’t win if your team’s main weapon is the 3 pointer

It’s that time of year again! The world's oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament is about to start, but what if you’ve been in mourning since Serena Williams retired and haven’t been paying attention like you should? Crina Mustafa of “Cri’s on Point” has got you covered!
Crina stops by to let us know what’s so special about the sport of tennis and all that is Wimbledon! Then, she goes over her power rankings on the men’s and women’s sides. Is Novak Djokovic a favorite once again, a robot, or both? She’ll let us know!
We also look back at past tennis stars who were underappreciated as well as past traditions that tennis held on to for too long! Crina also breaks down some tennis basics for the new or casual fan, such as differences in playing surface, why some crowds are lit while others aren’t, and the value of playing doubles!
Tennis expert? Crina’s got you covered there too as she discusses some of the finer points of the game along with analysis on what to expect from some of the top players, like phenoms Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek, headed into the tournament, and some thoughts on whether Americans Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, and Francis Tiafoe can make some noise!
Finally, Brandon does what he normally does and steers the conversation back to basketball for some WNBA hot takes!

Brett Gosnell throws on his soccer hat and joins me to discuss what bringing back Gregg Berhalter means for USMNT soccer and their 2026 Men’s World Cup chances in a special mid-week episode!
We look back at Gregg’s tenure with the team up to this point, including the most recent World Cup and the ridiculous scandal with Gio Reyna’s family. Brett explains what’s so unusual about how US Soccer has handled this coaching cycle, and what the coaching search looked like.
We also talk about why there is reason for hope in the future as well as the role Gregg plays in that. We go over Gregg’s coaching strengths and weaknesses, if we’re stuck with him through 2026 no matter what, and what would qualify as a good performance for the USMNT in the next World Cup!

00:53 Why Gregg’s return is so shocking

On the surface, Zion Williamson's cheating scandal has nothing to do with the PGA Tour's controversial merger with LIV Golf. However, there's more than meets the eye with these two wild stories! I break down exactly what is going on with each as well as how they're basically the same situation.
We'll talk about how each party got to this point, what exactly the problem is, what they SHOULD have done, and if there's any chance of Zion or the PGA bouncing back from this nonsense. Also, be on the lookout for a SPECIAL guest appearance from fake Tiger Woods!

Dr. Nodia Robinson’s list of accomplishments is LONG! A star athlete on the basketball court and the track, a soldier in the US Army, MULTIPLE degrees, recent graduation from MUSC Medical School, and founder of Catch Da Beat Apparel Co. are just some of the highlights. She’s made it look easy, but at times it's been anything but!
Nodia joins me and opens up about her humble beginnings in the historic Maryville neighborhood of Charleston, SC, why she thought she was destined to become a professional basketball player, and how she almost didn’t even make it to college despite being an excellent student.
We cover her time at Furman University, the culture shock that came with attending a university with mostly affluent students, and how the end of her athletic dreams almost caused her to end up right back at home with no Plan B. She tells me how she was able to stay on track and find a new calling in life, but was met with even more obstacles to overcome after deciding to pursue a career in medicine as a Black woman.
Dr. Robinson also breaks down why she was inspired to start a clothing company to help close the gaps in healthcare in underserved communities and how all of her accomplishments can be traced back to a love for her family!

The Denver Nuggets will be favored to win their 1st NBA championship no matter who wins tonight’s game 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals! This year’s Nuggets team is clearly the best of Nikola Jokic’s career, but you might not know that because they’re rarely talked about on other sports shows. So I introduce you to this season’s NBA champions the only way I know how: by comparing them to Taco Bell menu items!
I’ll tell you not only which menu item each key contributor resembles, but break down their role on the team to tell you why! I also go over why this franchise's path to where they are now has mirrored the career of their star player, and which of their past failures were out of their control. Most importantly, we talk about Taco Bell. I can’t be clear enough about that. You’re welcome.
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
00:52 Your 2022-23 NBA Champions!

It's that time of year! WNBA season is about to start, and the offseason was action-packed! What do you need to know to be ready for tipoff? I got you!
First up, let's talk about where to watch the games! The league has signed some new media deals this offseason. How will that affect its growth and your experience as a fan?
Then, we need to discuss how the WNBA is the most challenging pro sports team roster to make! There are only 144 spots for all these talented athletes! Will the league expand? I tell you why its history might be the reason they're super cautious about doing so.
Moving on, I tell you about this year's rookie class! Who are the favorites to win Rookie of the Year and what makes the transition from college to the W so difficult? I break it down!
Need a team to pull for? Let me introduce you to the Atlanta Dream! A perfect mix of young superstars, veteran talent, and loads of potential! But they might be even cooler off the court!
And you know we have to talk about the superteams out in Las Vegas and New York! The Liberty made a lot of noise this offseason in an effort to get in the way of an Aces' repeat. Was it enough?
Finally, I give you a player from each team to be on the lookout for when you're checking out games!

Marcus Lattimore did it ALL on the football field for the University of South Carolina! The star running back stacked accolade after accolade as a result of his on-field performance. So why did he feel so empty during what should have been his greatest achievement?
Marcus shares with me how that moment led him down a path of self-discovery that has him impacting lives in a far greater way! We talk about the trap that is toxic masculinity, the freedom that comes with expressing your feelings, and why perfection is overrated.
We also talk about Marcus' relationship with writing. How it started off as a tool to help him work through his own darkness but developed into a passion that's allowed him to become a highly skilled typist and poet!
And we talk about the work he's doing at Zen: MNM with his wife, Miranda. He explains why it's important for them to make it as inclusive as possible even if that means leaving money on the table, how yoga has been appropriated in the Western world, and what he hopes their legacy will be.
Finally, we talk about why Marcus had to leave the state of South Carolina to grow, his dessert expertise, and how much we love dogs!
This is truly one of the most incredible conversations I've ever had, so enjoy and please support the work Marcus and Miranda are doing at Zen: MNM!

It’s playoff time in the NBA, but before we can enjoy that we need to talk about why the regular season is such a drag! Particularly since the lack of a true title favorite SHOULD mean it’s more exciting…or should it?
Let’s talk about if fans really want parity, how players not playing in the regular season has caused fans to not watch, whether or not the players even really need to play since we have math, and who is and isn’t allowed to complain about referees!
It’s not all negative though, because once we purge these bad feelings I’ll tell you why you SHOULD be excited about the NBA postseason!
The Rundown:
00:00 Intro
00:58 Do we REALLY want parity?
05:31 We’re all sick of load management

12:27 Is “more bad calls than a telemarketer” a bar or nah?

The Women’s Basketball National Championship Game taunting controversy involving LSU star Angel Reese and Iowa star Caitlin Clark has had the hot takes FLYING! But what if the ridiculous conversations about it were actually a symptom of a larger issue?
I zoom out and take a look at how the lack of diversity in the sports media industry led to narratives being built WAY before tipoff, the effects it has on all coverage, and why basketball is the perfect sport to bring out the biases in such a homogenous industry!
I also talk about how the problems aren’t JUST about racial diversity, my own learning experiences when it comes to covering women’s sports, and give proper credit for the “You Can’t See Me!” celebration!
