oes Bama just have UGA’S number OR is it a little more than just that?
KC & Minnesota are ONLY undefeated teams left…. Who’ s 0 will be last to go?
MLB lost hits leader Pete rose…. Should he be in HOF or do you agree with the lifetime ban?
MLB wild card rd kicks off… which match up are you most interested in?

Smitty, from AROUND THE 412 is back, back again but this time we are four games into the NFL season and he gives us some hot takes on the Steelers and the AFC North along with thoughts on how the NFL season has gone so far compared to how the "experts" predicted. Always a great discussion and never a dull moment with the crew…

Smitty’s Intro: technically anyone of us can intro Smitty. If one of you wants to cool. If mot I’ll introduce him

If you can give us an update date on:::

Warren’s injury

Patterson’s injury

Has Russ officially lost the qb1 position?

Do you think Sundays defensive effort was “just a bad day” or do you think its problematic of a real issue?

Football takes center stage. That's very clear at this time of year and we will go around the NFL along with some college pigskin but Shohei Ohtani without a doubt needs to be mentioned on this episode. His amazing hitting season is one for the ages and worth our time as the baseball races heat up in a final push to the playoffs.

College Football Top games

Tennessee and Oklahoma ( both ranked and looking to prove themselves)

USC and Michigan (11 USC 3-0 visiting the Big House 2-1)

NC State and Clemson (both with a loss)

Miami and South Florida (Miami is ACC favorite now)

Illinois and Nebraska (both ranked)

NFL Round Up (News, Notes and Scores)

Phi at NO

NYG at Cle

Chi at INdy

Hou at Min

Den at TB

GB at Ten

Car at LV

Det at Ari

Chiefs at Atl

Jags at Buf

DC at Bengals

Chargers at Steelers

Ravens at Dallas

SF at Rams

Patriots at Jets

Miami at Seattle

Shohei Ohtani- First 50/50 player

Who do you compare him to?
How does he rate as a pitcher compared to hitter?
Where does he fall in line at this juncture in his career based on ALL the greats and will he go down as the GOAT when its all said and done in his career?

Monologue:

:Tim Worley charted out a six-year NFL career with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears. Worley was an original first round pick of the Steelers in 1989 and flashed talent during his rookie season. He rushed for 770 yards and five touchdowns. While Worley had a fairly prosperous pro career, he is a legend at Georgia. During his junior season with the Bulldogs, he ran for 1,216 yards and 17 touchdowns. Certain publications named him a first-team All-American and he was also UPI’s SEC Offensive Player of the Year. Worley is also a member of the Florida-Georgia game Hall of Fame. He now is active in the motivational speaking field.

Our guest this week on the OSP has been part of the Pittsburgh Penguins media for many years and will be sharing his insight on the last, present and future of the organization from his perspective. Bob Grove covered the Penguins for 17 seasons at the Washington (PA) Observer-Reporter and 14 seasons at the Pittsburgh Sports Report. He spent 16 on the Penguins Radio Network, and he wrote Pittsburgh Penguins: The Official History of the First 30 Years (Taylor Publishing 1997) and contributed to the second edition of Total Hockey, The Official Encyclopedia of the National Hockey League (2000).

Where did it all begin for you? What made you want to be part of the Penguin media.
Let’s dig into the history. First cup, what was the vibe like with the team. Did they know they were destined? Did you get to hold the cup? (sizz)
You had to have been around for many of Mario’s health struggles. Describe what drove him to always come back and make a difference. (shene)
The coach(es) that made your job hard. Explain (mark)
Favorite player to interview. Favorite interview.(sizz)
Fast forward to the Sidney Crosby era. How has it been different since he joined. (shene)
People always think they know players if they are diehard fans but can you share something about Sid that most do not know. (mark)
Why the stall with Sid’s contract. (sizz)
Talk Geno off the ice. He seems to struggle with english but seems to prevail himself as a fun guy. Are we potentially seeing the last year of him? (shene)
Thoughts on the recent moves Kyle Dubas has made (free agency, trades, front office) Karrlson rebound to his final year as a Shark to produce more. (sizz)
What can we expect from the 24-25 Penguins. Will it be a return to the playoffs after 2 years missing or are they just too old. (mark)

Wrap up and next show topic (NFL/College high and low lights)

You can just smell sports in the air can’t you! Well, us junkies can. This show is focusing on Moving In: NFL players hitting camp and the highlights from the first week. Moving On: MLB trade deadline has come and gone and with so many teams still in the hunt how did the movement help those to potentially put them over the top. Finally, Paris is busier than normal with the Olympics beginning on July 26th and we have GOT to talk about the early success and failures.

Spontaneous Reaction:

Chops

Shene

Maradei

Main Segment:

NFL

Do you guys like when NFL camp opens and what do you look for early on?
Most teams have been going at it for awhile now at camp, what are you hearing from around the league?
How much does early Camp days matter and when should things really heat up for camp battles and positions.

MLB

Looking at MLB there is a cluster of teams still competing for playoff spots. Without a salary cap how does that happen?
What teams helped themselves/ hut themselves at the trade deadline?
Is there anything we should watch for now that all is over? (how guys fit in, who dropped the ball to make a push, etc.)

Olympics

What was your favorite part of the opening games? Or didn’t you watch it.
Early media darlings or surprises from competition.
What are you looking forward to as the games go on?

Sports have become intertwined with the celebration of the Fourth of July in the United States for several reasons:

Tradition and Heritage: Many sporting events held on the Fourth of July have deep historical roots. For example, baseball games on Independence Day have been a tradition since the late 19th century, symbolizing American pastimes and values.
Community and Togetherness: The Fourth of July is a day of national unity and community spirit. Sporting events, whether they are baseball games, fireworks races, or local tournaments, bring people together to celebrate their patriotism and shared identity.
Entertainment and Leisure: Independence Day is a federal holiday, meaning many people have the day off and are looking for leisure activities. Sports provide entertainment and a way for families and friends to spend time together outdoors, enjoying the summer weather.
Symbolism of Freedom and Independence: Sports often embody the values of freedom, competition, and achievement, which are central themes of Independence Day. Whether it's watching a game, participating in a race, or enjoying a round of golf, sports reflect these ideals.
Promotion of National Identity: Sporting events on the Fourth of July promote a sense of national pride and identity. They reinforce the idea of American exceptionalism and celebrate the country's achievements and freedoms.

Overall, sports on the Fourth of July serve as a unifying force, bringing communities together to celebrate their shared values and heritage while enjoying leisure activities in the spirit of national pride.

While Juneteenth's significance primarily lies in its historical and cultural context, some prominent Black athletes have contributed to its recognition and celebration through advocacy and community engagement. We will look at the top black athletes throughout time, advocates for equality today among black athletes, and why Juneteenth plays such an important role from a variety of angles.

Spontaneous Reaction:

Main Segment:

Advocates:

Colin Kaepernick: The former NFL quarterback has been a vocal advocate for racial equality and social justice, which aligns with the principles celebrated on Juneteenth. His kneeling protest during the national anthem brought significant attention to issues of systemic racism and police brutality.
LeBron James: The NBA star has used his platform to raise awareness about Juneteenth and its importance. Through his activism and initiatives like the More Than a Vote campaign, James has highlighted the significance of the day and its relevance to ongoing struggles for racial justice.
Serena Williams: The tennis champion has spoken out on issues of racial injustice and has used her influence to support the Black Lives Matter movement. By promoting awareness of Juneteenth, she has helped bring the holiday into broader public consciousness.

Maya Moore: The WNBA star paused her basketball career to focus on criminal justice reform and has been an advocate for civil rights. Her efforts contribute to the broader context of recognizing and celebrating Juneteenth.
Russell Westbrook: The NBA player executive produced a documentary called "Tulsa Burning: The 1921 Race Massacre," which, while focusing on the Tulsa Race Massacre, also ties into the larger narrative of Black history and the importance of recognizing events like Juneteenth.

These athletes have used their platforms to advocate for racial justice and highlight the importance of Juneteenth, contributing to its recognition and celebration across the United States.

Compiling a list of the top Black athletes of all time is a challenging task due to the vast talent and achievements across various sports. Here are some of the most iconic and influential Black athletes in history:

Muhammad Ali (Boxing): Known as "The Greatest," Ali was not only a dominant heavyweight champion but also a civil rights activist who used his platform to speak out against racial injustice and the Vietnam War.
Michael Jordan (Basketball): Widely regarded as the greatest basketball player of all time, Jordan's influence transcended the sport, making him a global icon and a cultural phenomenon.
Jackie Robinson (Baseball): Robinson broke Major League Baseball's color barrier in 1947, becoming a symbol of the civil rights movement and paving the way for future generations of Black athletes.
Usain Bolt (Track and Field): The fastest man in the world, Bolt's record-breaking performances and charismatic personality have made him a global ambassador for athletics.
Tiger Woods (Golf): Woods revolutionized golf, bringing unprecedented attention and diversity to the sport while amassing numerous records, including 15 major championships.
Jesse Owens (Track and Field): Owens' four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics were a powerful statement against Nazi ideology and a milestone in the fight against racial discrimination.
Wilt Chamberlain (Basketball): One of the most dominant players in NBA history, Chamberlain set numerous records, including scoring 100 points in a single game.
Jim Brown (Football): Considered one of the greatest NFL players ever, Brown's combination of power and speed revolutionized the running back position.
Simone Biles (Gymnastics): Biles is the most decorated gymnast in World Championship history, known for her groundbreaking routines and resilience.
Arthur Ashe (Tennis): Ashe broke barriers as the first Black man to win Wimbledon, the US Open, and the Australian Open, and was also a prominent civil rights activist.
Hank Aaron (Baseball): Aaron broke Babe Ruth's home run record, becoming a symbol of perseverance and excellence amidst racial adversity.
Carl Lewis (Track and Field): With nine Olympic gold medals, Lewis is one of the greatest track and field athletes of all time, excelling in sprints and long jump.
Flo-Jo (Florence Griffith Joyner) (Track and Field): Known for her speed and style, Flo-Jo set world records in the 100m and 200m that still stand today.
Magic Johnson (Basketball): A key figure in the NBA's popularity surge in the 1980s, Johnson's versatile playing style and charismatic leadership left a lasting impact on the sport.

These athletes not only achieved extraordinary success in their respective sports but also used their platforms to influence social change, inspire future generations, and break down racial barriers.

Nothing says Pittsburgh Steelers than someone who is able to share their in depth insights from the Steel City itself than Smitty from the Around the 412 podcast. There is no downtime in the NFL so we will talk with Smitty about free agency thus far, the draft and rookie camp, OTA's and of course the pending summer camp to officially kick things off for the 2024 season, in my opinion. Grab an Iron City and a Chipped Ham sandwich and listen as we pick Smitty's brain for the latest on the Stillers.

Spontaneous Reactions:

Bio:

Main Segment:

OC Arthur Smith is in charge with a new offensive:

• What are your thoughts on what you’ve seen so far in camp/OTA’s?

• YEA OR NAY??

2) Russ was tagged as QB1: has Russ looked like he’s got a grasp on the offense?

3) Is Fields getting many reps/looks with 1st team?

• Do he and Russ communicate a lot on schemes or different reads?

4) Khan did a great job in this year’s draft: What’s the progression of Fautanu been like on the O line?

5) Roman Wilson, he’s always been applauded for his route running, in camp as he been more of a slot or Wr2: Does he remind you of Heinz Ward? (Not flashy/not huge size but he’s tough, blocks well, and isn’t afraid of contact.)

6) Payton Wilson NC State LB:

• I’m hearing good things so far.

• Is he as good as advertised: 6’3, 4.4 speed?

7) Cam Heyward: No doubt a leader on the team, Water Payton man of the year winner, He’s absent in OTA’s, lots of time left, but from what you’re hearing, will an extension get done?

8) With Watt/Heyward/Queen/Minkah you’ve technically got ALL PROS on each level: Do you think the Steelers can realistically have a TOP 5-6 ranked defense this season?

9) Schedule is out, we all know Steelers got it rough, Extremely Tough: right now, today, what is your prediction for Steelers 2024 season record?

10) What games of the Steelers, in particular, are you looking forward too and why?

• What are 2-3 OTHER NFL games, in general, are you interested in seeing this upcoming season?

11) Steelers fans are excited and ready for this upcoming season: Do you believe we have good reason to be so optimistic or are we all just being “Homers” about our Steelers?

12) What 1-2 UNDRAFTED FREE AGENTS that have sort of opened a few eyes in OTA’s?

13) Great draft made moves in free agency: If the Steelers/ Tomlin DON’T GET A PLAYOFF WIN THIS YEAR, is the season a disappointment?

14) Has there been a player or 2 that HAS NOT had a particularly good showing so far “draft pick/ veteran” or “free agent”?

Roger Staubach is celebrated not only as a Hall of Fame quarterback but also as a distinguished U.S. Navy veteran. Graduating from the Naval Academy in 1965, he served as a supply officer in Vietnam before embarking on his illustrious NFL career. Staubach's time in the military instilled a sense of discipline and leadership that translated seamlessly onto the football field. Leading the Dallas Cowboys to two Super Bowl victories, he became known for his clutch performances and unwavering determination. Beyond his athletic achievements, Staubach's commitment to service and teamwork remains a defining aspect of his legacy.

Pat Tillman is remembered as both a courageous NFL player and a patriotic U.S. Army Ranger. After establishing himself as a star safety for the Arizona Cardinals, he made the extraordinary decision to leave his football career and enlist in the military following the September 11 attacks. Tillman served with distinction in Afghanistan, embodying selflessness and dedication to his country. His tragic death in 2004 highlighted the profound sacrifices made by service members and underscored his legacy of bravery and honor. Tillman's story continues to inspire many, symbolizing the ultimate commitment to a cause greater than oneself.

Rocky Bleier's journey from the battlefield to the football field is a testament to his resilience and determination. After being drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1968, he was soon called to serve in the Vietnam War, where he was severely injured by a grenade. Despite doctors doubting his ability to walk again, Bleier defied the odds, enduring extensive rehabilitation to return to professional football. His perseverance paid off as he became a key player in the Steelers' dynasty, winning four Super Bowl titles. Rocky Bleier's story is a powerful example of overcoming adversity and the enduring spirit of a true champion.

Alejandro Villanueva's remarkable career bridges his service as a U.S. Army Ranger and his role as an NFL offensive tackle. After graduating from West Point, he served three tours in Afghanistan, earning a Bronze Star for his valor. Transitioning to professional football, Villanueva joined the Pittsburgh Steelers, where his discipline and leadership shone on the field. His unique journey from the battlefield to the NFL highlights his extraordinary commitment and resilience. Villanueva continues to be an inspiration, exemplifying the strength and dedication of a veteran who excels in both military and athletic arenas.

Yogi Berra is celebrated both as a legendary baseball player and a dedicated World War II veteran. Before his storied career with the New York Yankees, where he won ten World Series championships, Berra served in the U.S. Navy and took part in the D-Day invasion at Normandy. His military service exemplified his bravery and commitment, qualities that he carried onto the baseball field. Known for his exceptional skills as a catcher and his memorable "Yogi-isms," Berra became an iconic figure in American sports. His life story reflects a profound dedication to both his country and his sport, leaving a lasting legacy of excellence and patriotism.

Willie Mays is renowned not only for his extraordinary baseball career but also for his service as a U.S. Army soldier. Enlisted during the peak of his early career, Mays served in the Army from 1952 to 1953, missing significant playing time. Despite this interruption, he returned to Major League Baseball to become one of the greatest players of all time, known for his all-around skills, including hitting, fielding, and base running. Mays's military service exemplified his dedication and resilience, qualities that contributed to his legendary status in baseball. His dual legacy as both a sports icon and a veteran underscores his remarkable contributions to his country and the game.

Bob Feller is revered both as a Hall of Fame pitcher for the Cleveland Indians and a dedicated U.S. Navy veteran. Enlisting in the Navy just days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Feller served with distinction aboard the USS Alabama during World War II, earning six campaign ribbons and eight battle stars. Despite losing nearly four prime years of his baseball career to military service, he returned to the majors and continued to dominate, achieving 266 career wins and numerous strikeout records. Feller's unwavering patriotism and exceptional athletic talent made him a national hero both on and off the field. His legacy is a testament to the values of service, sacrifice, and excellence.

Ted Williams is celebrated as one of baseball's greatest hitters and a distinguished U.S. military veteran. Serving as a pilot in both World War II and the Korean War, Williams interrupted his illustrious career with the Boston Red Sox to fly combat missions, earning numerous commendations for his bravery. Despite losing nearly five years of playing time to his military service, he returned to the majors and secured his legacy with a .344 career batting average and 521 home runs. Williams' dual commitment to his country and his sport showcases his extraordinary dedication and talent. His story is an enduring example of how athletic prowess and patriotic duty can coexist in a life of remarkable achievement.

Joe Louis, known as the "Brown Bomber," was not only a legendary heavyweight boxing champion but also a dedicated U.S. Army veteran. Holding the heavyweight title from 1937 to 1949, Louis's boxing career was briefly interrupted by his service during World War II. He enlisted in 1942 and spent the war years primarily in morale-boosting activities, including exhibition matches for the troops, which earned him great respect and admiration. Louis's contributions extended beyond the ring and battlefield, as he also played a significant role in breaking racial barriers in America. His legacy is a powerful blend of athletic excellence, patriotic service, and social impact.

Arnold Palmer, known as "The King" of golf, is celebrated both for his illustrious career in professional golf and his service in the U.S. Coast Guard. Before becoming a household name in the world of golf, Palmer enlisted in the Coast Guard in 1951, where he served for three years and honed his discipline and resilience. His military service provided him with a strong foundation that contributed to his success on the PGA Tour, where he won seven major championships and became a beloved figure in the sport. Palmer's charismatic personality and pioneering spirit helped popularize golf, making it accessible to a broader audience. His legacy endures not only through his contributions to golf but also through his example of service and sportsmanship.

Jack Dempsey, nicknamed the "Manassa Mauler," was a renowned heavyweight boxing champion and a World War I veteran. Rising to fame in the 1920s, Dempsey held the heavyweight title from 1919 to 1926 and was known for his aggressive fighting style and devastating knockout power. Prior to his boxing career, Dempsey served in the U.S. Army during World War I, where he was stationed stateside and competed in military boxing tournaments. His military service instilled in him a sense of discipline and toughness that served him well in the ring. Dempsey's contributions to both boxing and his country cemented his status as one of the greatest sports icons of his era.

David Robinson, widely known as "The Admiral," is renowned for his remarkable career as a professional basketball player and his service as a U.S. Navy officer.

In the NBA, he played his entire career with the San Antonio Spurs, earning numerous accolades including two NBA championships and induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame. Robinson's leadership skills and dedication, honed during his time in the Navy, translated seamlessly onto the basketball court, where he became known for his dominant play as a center.

Monologue:

It's early April and we have been talking draft since the final gun of the Super Bowl. So much has been made of so many players. Some climb the ladder to earlier selection slot and others well they fall like rocks into the abyss. Our guest is none other than a man who makes a living doing draft previews and analysis, Matt Miller of ESPN. He will give you some tidbits and thought provoking insight that will make any draft enthusiast ready for April 25th.

Intro of BSC

Spontaneous Reaction:

NCAA Finals

Favorite Draft moment as a fan

What captivates you about the NFL Draft

Main Segment:

Matt Miller introduction

NFL Draft analyst Matt Miller joined ESPN in 2021 as an NFL Draft contributor before returning as a year-round Draft analyst in 2022. In April 2023, Miller made his on-air NFL Draft debut during day three of the 2023 NFL Draft in Kansas City when he joined ESPN’s broadcast for rounds 4-7. With over a decade of experience covering the NFL Draft, Miller appears across ESPN platforms on NFL Live, SportsCenter, Get Up!, NFL Draft and Mock Draft specials, ESPN+ exclusive programs – including numerous mock drafts and scouting reports, ESPN Radio and more. Before joining ESPN, Miller was Bleacher Report’s lead NFL Draft writer from 2010-2021 where he contributed mock drafts, scouting reports, in-depth stories and he became the most-read author in the history of the website. Prior to Bleacher Report, Miller worked as Director of Scouting for New Era Scouting from 2006-10 and a coach and recruiting coordinator for the CFL’s Joplin Crusaders (2006-08).

(Maradei) Your thoughts on these guys not taking part in the combine or doing a pro day.
(Rashene) Who do you feel is overrated in this draft?
(Neubeiser) How much does questionable character actually come into early for early round draft picks?
(Chops) Quarterback is always the premium position;rank the top five for us.
( T-Sizz or Maradei) Do you have any sleepers that aren’t getting much attention but you think will be impact guys as rookies? IE. Puka Nacua
(Neubeiser) Most impactful projected defensive star
(Chops) Any whispers of big trades that could go down.

Everyone thinks they know what every team is going to do year in and year out in the NFL draft. Mel Kiper Jr hasn’t hit on a draft pick ever I don’t think. Some people do multiple mock’s and still don’t get it right. Today the Crew and I will take our own shot the first round and how we think it will fall. Chops will do some commentary to add a little zest to the mix. Enjoy and see if you agree with our picks. Honestly though, it’s not like we care, psych…

Thank you to my Barbershop Crew: Rashene, Terry, Neub, Mikey, Schmitty and Kwatt for being an active part in so many shows along with other support.

OSP “Yinzer Special”

Nothing but Black and Gold and a ‘Burgh” thing. Us Pittsburghers would be remiss if we did not completely dedicate a show to the Steel City.

Steelers:

Russell Wilson yes or no and why…

Justin Fields is he the future starting next year?

Kenny Pickett showed his true colors in the end……

Queen, Elliott, Van Jefferson(?) : who is next? MIke Williams (injury history)

Projection in the division now, AFC

Penguins:

The fall of the Empire

Will the off season bring more moves? (who?)

Can Crosby get another CUP?

Is he an all-time top 5?

With so many guys leaving and finding success elsewhere and most recently ALex Nylander

Is it the player or coach’s system and reluctance to change impacting the success of this team going forward?

One final question is this the new GM’s (Kyle Dubas) fault or a by product of what was left behind? How much impact ina salary cap league can a GM have and especially when the previous guy was handing out No Movement Clauses like candy

Pirates

Will this 2024 version of the PIrates make the leap with the young bucks?

How long before Paul Skenes makes the jump? He was dominant in spring training in his minimal appearances.

Pirates just signed Michael A Taylor who has a tremendous glove and minimal bat but are these the kinds of moves a team who maintains a low budget must make to compete?

They also inked German Domingo who has spousal abuse charges. What are your feelings on giving a guy like this another opportunity?

Do the Pirates make the playoffs?

Pitt Basketball

Did they get screwed in the end or did that 1-5 start and playing what the experts deemed to be a softer schedule do them in?

Was this team a product of good transfer portal moves?

Monologue:

Complete vision and purpose! It's tough to do but we manage to keep the ship steering straight ahead as we embrace a wealth of sports happenings in the world. Why do we love sports? We will talk about that so you can see that our reasoning for doing this podcast is mental health for us and others.....This week’s show is the last of season 4 and we are dedicating to female athletes after all we are celebrating women in the month of March.

Intro of BSC

Spontaneous Reactions:

3 minutes for each topic

Why does the NFL need a non-tampering period before free agency? If it’s a fit, make the offer and be done with it.

“Iron” Mike Tyson vs. “Youtuber” Jake Paul. July 20th in Texas. I am not sure how I feel about this one. I am a huge and always been a huge Tyson fan. We will be streaming a live podcast during the fight giving our takes. Let’s look at what each has to gain and lose by this fight occurring.

Since we have Steeler fans on this podcast let’s look at the newest addition to the QB room, Russell Wilson.

Saquon to Philly beefs with Tiki Barber

Kirk Cousins to ATL

What’s next for Fields

Rudy Goebert fine Actions/Gesture of Goebert worth 100,000 fine?

Main Segment:

Ladies of the Sports World

I want to kick this thing off by talking about the fight at the WOmen’s Sec Championship game between South Carolina and LSU. 6-8 center Kamilla Cardoso came to the rescue of her teammate Ashley Watkinswho was shoved in anger by Flau’jae Johnson on her way to the bench.

The mele lead to 6 ejections and Johnson’s brother jumping on to the floor. Does this behavior help or hurt the ladies game?

Caitlin Clark continues to be in the spotlight by hitting a game winning 3 for the Big Ten title over Nebraska. What more does she need to do to be looked at as maybe the best female basketball player in the NCAA? She's forgoing her senior year to play in the WNBA.

Thoughts on the Utah State ladies coach Kayla Ard getting fired immediately following their loss by the athletic director and sharing it at her post game presser.

The USWNT defeated Brazil(for the fourth straight time in a tournament final) in the inaugural Gold Cup held in San Diego on Sunday with the lone goal scored by Lindsey Horan. Now that some of the women who were more about political statements as opposed to soccer are gone, will this win spark the interest again in women’s soccer in the U.S. and if not what is it going to take. Alex Morgan seems to be the new face to associate with the sport.

I told you guys the NFL never ,ever goes away right. We get this weeks show rolling with a special guest who will talk basketball, his career and the Big Dance. Next, we roll out our views on the NFL combine and who made a case for themself and who, well, created question marks. Spontaneous Reactions, T-Sizzle Quizzle and "The Dream" question are all that again makes up episode 38 of season 4.

Intro of BSC:

Chris Mortenson’s death at 72 years old

Spontaneous Reactions:

Lebron James has topped 40,000 points for his career which is still not over. Do you guys see anyone in the near future who actually could challenge that mark or is it too insurmountable?

When we talk about the most important position on the football field, center, is rarely the focus but yesterday Jason Kelce retired from the Philadelphia Eagles after 13 seasons. Many of the players, coaches and fans talked about his value on the field, in the locker room and in the community. Do you think this is true that Jason was that valued by the Eagles or has all the hype of his brother Travis dating Taylor Swift helped his legend and value become highlighted.

Special Guest Former Harlem Globetrotter “Spinny” Johnson

Introduction and Background:
Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your journey to becoming a Harlem Globetrotter? (Terry)
What initially drew you to basketball, and how did you develop your skills? (Rashene)
Harlem Globetrotters Experience:
What was it like to be a part of such an iconic and historic basketball team?(Mark)
Can you share any memorable experiences or moments from your time as a Harlem Globetrotter? (Neubs)
Challenges and Triumphs:
What were some of the biggest challenges you faced during your time with the Harlem Globetrotters, and how did you overcome them? (Chops)
Legacy and Impact:
How do you think the Harlem Globetrotters have contributed to the broader culture of basketball?(Rashene)
Advice and Inspiration:
Can you share any lessons from your time with the Harlem Globetrotters that you apply to your life today? (Neubs)
Off the Court:
How do you stay connected to the game and the basketball community today?(Terry)
Closing:
Finally, what message would you like to leave with our listeners, especially those who admire your journey and accomplishments? (Mark)

NFL Combine:

Guys who made you go” hmm!” (good)

Guys who made you go “seriously?” (bad)

Top position to draft based on results.

Drafting for best players not position based on results, who are you taking?

Character flaws? Caleb Williams demands, non-participation,his Dad

Character flaws? Marvin Harrison Jr.

NCAA Tournament is coming…

Favorite part of the tournament

Do you watch “Championship Week”?

What in your opinion qualifies you to be a bubble team

By the time we do the next show, the field will be set. Who are the four #1’s

OSP 3/2 Live at Il Forno

We are coming to you Live this first Saturday in March of 2024 from iL Forno Pizza/Vanish.

When we get out like this it’s a whole new world. We’d like to thank JP and everyone at iL Forno for having us out here again. The food and beverages you can not beat. It will be a sports smorgasbord of the sports today. So much to dive into we don’t know where to start but we will with intro’s.

Crew intro:

Spontaneous Reaction:

Former Nationals third baseman and now Angels 3rd baseman Anthony Rendon basically said it’s God and Family and he would walk away from baseball today for either or both. Pretty big words coming from a multi-millionaire. Fellas? Your reaction

Lebron James for all the good he has done is living in a fantasy land. He claims if Bronny comes out at USC where he averages 5.9 ppg that together they would bring a championship to the Lakers. Do you think he has gone off the deep end, men? Should he even be saying stuff like this?

Trevor Bauer was chastised and pushed out of MLB for what he inevitably was cleared from, a rape charge by a hussy who made the mistake of texting her friend and telling her the plan worked for her. All she cared about is $$$. After playing in Asia, Bauer is just looking for a shot with anyone. He was so desperate he told the Pittsburgh Pirates he would play on a 1 year deal at 750,000 with incentives. They rejected him and so did everyone else thus far. How does this happen when a talented guy is proven innocent?

Main Segment:

Who’s the Guy:

1st Tier: Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, Jimmy G., Ryan Tannehill, Baker Mayfield, Kirk Cousins,

2nd Tier: Jameis Winston, Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew, Joshua Dobbs

Josh Jacobs, Derek Henry, Austin Eckler, Saquon Barclay…what do they all have in common? Why is this happening?
Head Coaches Grades for 2023
2023 NFL Workplace Survey categories include: Team grade categories included their training room, training staff, weight room, strength coaches, team travel, head coach and ownership. Owners were graded on players' beliefs their ownership groups operate with a willingness to invest in team facilities.
Tom Brady’s ex-wife and her extra marital affair (the Brady affect)
Baseball:Early spring training stories:

Rob Manfred retiring in 2029

Orioles pitching woes

Angels lower the salary but still target high end players 2023 Final Payroll: $230.5 million 2024 Projected Payroll: $156.9

What are the MLB team salaries this season?

Extending free agency or cutting it short. What will it be? New CBA will be impacted

NHL trade deadline-biggest club trade chip
Rempe NYR heavyweight tussling with Deslauries of the Flyers

Is fighting good for hockey?

Do trades really push teams over the top?
Floor storming at college Basketball games (Ryan Filipowski injury)
Top 10 college basketball teams since 1980
T-sizzle Quizzle

OSP 2/20

Look let me put this to you straight, the NFL season never ends. It goes into hibernation to a certain degree for a few weeks but it is year round. We will continue to visit current happenings but it’s time we start turning our attention to things like basketball, especially college, some NHL action and spring training. Baseball used to be known as America’s Game but not so much anymore. We will move around the court, diamond, course and rink as needed as we edge closer to the conclusion of season 4 of the OSP. Don’t fret though, we will just be gearing up for our best season yet when we start back up in season 5. Our mailbag is full so let’s get after it fellas!

Crew intro:

Mailbag:

With the end of the Crosby era Penguins Stanley Cup runs a distant past...and no real hope in sight on that front...and hockey never breaking out of its fourth...or if you count soccer....fifth most popular sport status ..any chance Pittsburgh moves on from hockey after Crosby and tries again for an NBA franchise? - Chief from Oakmont, PA

March 2024 will be 4 years since the start of the pandemic. What are the biggest changes in our everyday life you’ve noticed since then (good and bad) RT from College Park, MD

I just watched the women and men’s ,Milrose Games .. track and field… humans are running Faster… crazy… what will the Olympics 2024 bring out on setting World records …. Fucking Amazing!!! -Camel Joe Maine born raised everywhere

The current state of college football is not sustainable. What changes need to happen to save college football but still provide the players with the compensation they deserve

NWOC-Clarion, PA

With the Phillies agreeing to a one-year deal with right-hander Spencer Turnbull as part of their efforts to deepen their starting pitching roster, and considering the ongoing discussions around Zack Wheeler's contract extension, how do these moves reflect the team's strategy to bolster their pitching staff? Furthermore, with the departure of Rhys Hoskins to the Brewers and the impact it's expected to have on the team's dynamics, what are your thoughts on how the Phillies are positioning themselves for success in the upcoming season?

Tony Fig-Philly Fanatic

If someone offered you $10K to streak across the field during the next sporting event you attend, would you do it? If not, then what would it take for you to?

Double J-From Down South

If Mike Tomlin were a coach with any other franchise how long do you think he would’ve lasted before being fired, if at all? Given he would have the exact same success/performance he’s had in Pittsburgh

James from New Orleans

Throughout the period of time you've been interested in professional and/or collegiate sports, what sport(s) have you become more interested in, and what sport(s) have you lost some interest in, and why?

Top Cat-Philipsburg,PA

Did you know that the horse in the movie “Animal House” made more money than John Belushi did? They paid 35k for the horse, 30k to Belushi. They later gave him a 5k bonus after the movie became a hit.

Aside from Belushi, which character did you relate to in the movie Animal House?

Medley-Denver,CO

Thinking about how many walks greg Maddox gave up that were not intentional 226 in 25 seasons compared to how many strikeouts Tony Gwynn had his whole career 4440 in 20 years… those are unimaginable numbers in todays game. If you could pick to be Maddox or Gwynn and it up those numbers which would it be?

Buxy-OCMD

If you could go back and play one sports video game what would it be?

Hayden - Gamer extraordinaire

are STUDENT/ athletes being prepared for realistic future?
is Segregation being truly addressed especially with separation in NATIONAL anthems
are transgender athletes depriving others of their right? - Robert Y Germantown MD

Hockey- should there be more outdoor games? Rangers come back win

Lebron James- could he be the first NBA player to play with his son and do you draft his son next year just to get Lebron and sell tickets , even though his son is not NBA ready

Olympic flag football - can anyone compete with US? Does this transform football like the dream team did and grow the sport even more so internationally - trickle down to HS flag that seems to be coming

Curry vs Sabrina All star game shooting

Caitlyn Clark - best college scorer ever?

Golf Waste management good for the sport? The partying? - Rob S Poolesville MD

Have you ever seen a hat trick live or on tv. How about 3 in one game. Minnesota Wild vs. Vancouver Canucks scored 3 hat tricks between the two teams. Thoughts?

I gotta ask what kept you engaged? was it the actual game? Maybe it was the officiating and their poor judgment, perhaps it was million dollar commercials or Usher. At my house, we had some friends over. I pulled out the football drinking game and away we went. Gotta keep it real right? We look at all I mentioned and significant plays that impacted the outcome. Oh of course we discuss menus as well and how could I forget our former professional football guest popping on to give his take.

Intro the Crew:

Spontaneous Reactions:

Party on the Golf Course, say what?

Morgan Reily late excessive hit

Special Guest: Irv Smith

Before we get into your experiences, did you watch the super bowl Sunday? What did you think?
What was your football journey like from high school to college to the NFL; teams, teammates, coaches, etc.?
Can you share any memorable experiences from your college football days that shaped your character or approach to the game?
Can you share any behind-the-scenes stories or insights about the intensity of NFL training camps and practices?
How do you think the NFL has evolved since your playing days, and what changes do you find most significant?
Many young athletes dream of making it to the NFL. What advice do you have for aspiring players who are working towards that goal, especially those who may face obstacles or doubts while chasing their dreams?
Looking back, is there anything you would have done differently or any advice you would give to your younger self as you pursue your NFL aspirations and what do you consider your proudest achievement or legacy, both on and off the field?
The transition from being a professional athlete to life after sports can be challenging. How did you navigate this transition, and what advice do you have for other retired athletes?

Thank you Irv for your time and for sharing your journey with us!

OSP 1/27 Raiden Amadeus Kovacs

Monologue: We are out here on location at Vanish at Il Forno restaurant in Frederick Maryland today. Gotta love our live shows you never know what to expect and I am sure today is gonna be no different. From all walks of life people make choices in a variety of directions to go. Our guest today decided to make fighting part of his life with the benefit of pay and recognition. I personally would like to fight on a daily basis but you’d find beyond bars because it would not be advisable. Seriously though. Our guest is Raiden Amadeus Kovacs today.

What’s good Brother?

Thanks for joining us today.

First let me say if anyone pisses you off with a question you can body slam Rashene!

Psych, let's get into Raiden as a youngster and roll from there.

Training and Preparation:
How did you get started in MMA, and what drew you to the sport?
Can you describe a typical day in your training camp and what’s most challenging in your training?
How do you balance different disciplines in your training, such as striking, grappling, and conditioning?
Fight Experience:
Can you share a memorable moment from one of your fights, whether it's a victory or a lesson learned?
What goes through your mind during the different phases of a fight (pre-fight, in-fight, post-fight)?
Are there specific fighters you look up to or consider as inspirations?
Mental Toughness and Mindset:
How do you maintain mental toughness in such a demanding sport?
How do you handle setbacks or losses?
Opinions on the Sport:
What are your thoughts on the evolution of MMA as a sport?
How do you respond to critics who may view MMA as too violent?
Where do you see the future of MMA heading?
Training Partners and Coaches:
How important are your training partners and coaches in your success?
Can you share a specific piece of advice or lesson you've learned from your coaches?
Outside the Cage:
What do you enjoy doing outside of training and fighting to relax or unwind?
How do you balance your personal life with the demands of being an MMA fighter?

Thanks and best of luck in your next match! The boys and I will have to come out and do a pre-fight show, drink some shots and then come in and raise hell rooting for you!

Our next show will be February 6 and that will be our Super Bowl preview so make sure you tune in at 7:05 pm!

Monologue:

Who would have thought that these teams in the playoffs would perform like they would in the blistering cold or the domed confines. Matt Stafford returning home to his beloved Detroit, the injury riddled Dolphins winning a game by scoring 70 points this year and of course Patrick Mahomes falling back to earth after such a tremendous start to his career. We dive into the first weekend of the 2023 season playoffs which always pose questions going forward, recap the most recent developments in the coaching carousel and hit the button sports topics before T-Sizzle and the Dream round out the show with something to make us all either look stupid or like sports aficionados.

Tune in and turn it up! Spontaneous Reactions:

Football is an all weather sport. Why did some games go on as they should and others, well, didn’t? Officiating is supposed to be neutral and keep games fair based on infractions. Why are so many sports today so clearly impacted by calls. The trend in the NFL has gone from defense to offense in the NFL so why are retreads like Bellichek being considered for jobs.

18 Weeks of NFL bliss, the 2023 NCAA football season, done! We will tackle both along with the NBA ROY candidates, NHL All-Star voting, the Great 8 and his pursuit of the Great One’s goal scoring record. For good measure we will talk the merger of the XFL and the USFL. Can you name last year's champions in each league? This will either be a learning experience for you all or mass chaos.

Hey OSPers! We know New Years is the time for new you! Ya, right! You make the commitment to the gym, eating right and God forbid, dry January but how many of you really stick with it. By the way we talk bowl games, playoffs, “Do you remember” trivia and much more on this episode. Let’s do this men!

BSC intros:

How was your holiday cheer? When do you take down all the decorations? Sad or happy?

Spontaneous Reactions:

The beaten that Georgia gave FSU. Would this have happened if FSU guys wouldn’t have opted out? Or is the SEC too much for them.

I struggle with this but at what point does baseball need to be held in check. The Dodgers spent 1 billion dollars on 2 players. One of which has never played in the MLB. How do teams compete in this type of structure?

The in season league champions! What garbage. Should the Lakers have a banner hoisted for this? How much did you pay attention to the tournament?

NFL Games of the Week:

Arizona over Philly

SF over Commanders

“Red Hot” Ravens over Miami

Controversial Games:

KC over Cincy

Cowboys over Detroit

Give me your playoff teams after week 18.

Possible Detroit Lions guest

Russell Wilson v. Sean Payton

Joe Flacco resurrected

Why is the league pushing Myles Garrett

T-Sizzle Trivia

In the words of future Hall of Fame Coach Mike Tomlin “We are gonna unleash hell in December” starting with this episode. As the season in college and the NFL winds down to bowl season, college footballs playoffs and of course the NFL playoffs we take a dive into who the “real ones” and frauds potentially are.

We have seen some really blah football and some really bad football. On this show we are going to become philosophers and dream a bit. We are given the ability to create from scratch let’s just say our own expansion squads. Yes we sprinkle in our regular segments but it’s time to get down to the nitty gritty and let us”experts” do our job! Building A Franchise What teams do you think you would blow up and start from scratch? What sets perpetual winners from losers, Coach, GM, Team President, ownership? In today’s NFL how do you approach putting your let’s call it leadership team together? Let the owner hire team president, he hires GM and GM the HC? We talked about the potential for Nepotism last show, should the HC regardless of his tenure have autonomy to hire his staff? How do you start building your actual team now? Offense/defense, trenches, QB?

Nothing like an episode of the OSP talking something near and dear to my heart, and NO it’s not my family, seriously we are talking betting in sports. Particularly the NFL. We kick things off with our spontaneous reactions, recap some of the best games of week 6 of the NFL, make some week 7 predictions and get down to business with the money game in pro sports. I think your gonna like this episode.

Betting in Pro Sports:

-Do leagues control outcomes of professional sports to impact betting.

-How do oddsmakers make preseason odds before injuries and team development occur in the off season

-Are all games affected by their professional organization when it comes to outcome based on point spreads or is just coincidence.

-Examples of teams or officials impacting game outcomes and the betting line (Mahomes sliding at the 2 yard line against the Jets to win 23-20. They did not cover)

-would you still bet on a sport even if you knew the fix was in

-will the leagues every crack down on potential “game fixing” or make it less apparent

Looking at pertinent questions after two weeks may sound crazy to you but not to us. So many things that are puzzling already about the 2023 NFL season and oh! by the way we don't miss Tom Brady one bit.

In life your journey can be one in which many different twists and turns can lead to some great and some really poor circumstances. We get into the life and times of a Pittsburgh suburban judge who is heading into her 30th year as a public servant. Judge Cheryl Yakopec has been a public defender and understands just exactly how difficult life can be for so many. She talks about how she uses her position as a judge and the impact it has had on so many people throughout the years. She shares with us how she stays active in the community and yet is able to manifest the most out of her position. Family is always #1 to Judge Yakopec but she considers the AK Valley to be her extended family and works her hardest to care for those in the valley with a fair and realistic sense of what each individual needs.

On this episode of the OSP with MM and the BSC we tackle...nothing! Not a damn thing. Women's World Cup failures, The Power 4 in NCAA sports, Preseason Studs and Duds, By team ranking the AFC West and South by position and then the chaos of a fantasy football, offense only draft. My head will be spinning from this mess for a long time but it's definitely entertainment for all to enjoy, I think :)

As we all very well know it is that time of year that many, myself included love immensely. FOOTBALL SEASON. WE have the entire gang back together at our local favorite Rockwell Brewery to talk College, Pro and some High School football. We would be remiss if we didn't address the Hall of Fame and we breakdown by position the AFC East and how we think they rank out.
It's the most wonderful time of the year and we can't help ourselves when it comes to talking about it.

Just a short jaunt up the road from Frederick Maryland you can visit Latrobe Pennsylvania. It was world renowned for years as the home of the Rolling Rock brewing and bottling location but they were sold so only one other thing has maintained it's consistency and thats the Pittsburgh Steelers summer camp which takes place each year (well, except for the covid year) since 1966. We make the yearly pilgrimage and took in all the sights, sounds, smells and of course all the football that can be offered this time of year. We discuss the the Steelers new additions from the draft and free agency as well as the growth potential and possible cuts heading into the 2023 season.
To round out this episode, we also rank the offensive and defensive positions within the division and that definitely included a few surprises and contested choices.
Enjoy!!!

As much as we wanted to do this show on a site, the weather man, it hurt our plan. So we flipped to plan “B”,the 4th of July Fireworks and Beers show. We talk lists and baseball and just generally sports whether we have been involved or observed. This ride was fun, bumpy and ultra productive. Come join us on the adventure!!!

On this episode Michael Neubeiser and I talk deep into being a high school athlete from rising through the youth program to recruiting it is a daunting task. It's not easy to develop young people today with so many distractions and barriers. We tackle all that can be done and more as we look at the rising and development through grades, workouts and of course football :)

It’s easy to break down this opinionated list of all our favs, on this episode! Let me give a shout out to Rockwell Brewery on East Street in Frederick for allowing us to be live on location for this episode. You’ve got to check them out if you are near or close to or traveling through Frederick Maryland. They actually have a second location as well that recently opened and it’s awesome as well that located at Riverside. Check out their webpage at Rockwellbrewery.com

Also Sideline Sports who has essentially merged with our Let’s Talk Sports Network and will be televising our show on Roku

Now on with the show, we are going into our best five athletes of all time, how they stand up to today’s athletes in terms of whether they could play along with our top athletes in the four major sports. We finish out this show with personal touch on being fans and coaches by discussing the best athlete we’ve seen play in person, played against and coached against.

Grab a cold one and enjoy this Happy Hour with us!

It’s amazing all the build up! All the mock drafts that begin a year in advance and to be quite honest, it’s rare anyone hits on 5 picks let alone the entire “round 1 mock”. We are going to tear this thing to shreds and look at what clowns like Kiper and McShay thought they knew more than the actual war rooms where picks were made. Who is gonna hit on their picks, who was a favorite, who helped themself and who has no clue what to do with the draft, that's what we are covering along with some surprise draft facts and a look into our crystal ball for next year's top players. Oh and those heavily contested QB’s who were drafted will try to place them in an order to revisit after the 2023 season and see who got the bargain or not.

On this episode of the OSP with Mark Maradei and the BSC we wrap up the NCAA men's and women's basketball season and talk about the ratings, controversy and the impacts of college "free agency". We hit it pretty hard with NFL news and notes and how the impact of the draft is affected by flaws and selfish mentality. We look at the early results of the MLB season and how "our" favorite teams have faired thus far. We put a nice big bow on things with a discussion about Lamar Jackson and our favorite from the Jackson family!
Come out at noon on April 22nd to join our live show at Nymeo Field in Frederick as we launch into minor league baseball season by doing a pre-season, on-location show!

This episode of the OSP with Mark Maradei and the Barbershop Crew is breaking ground. We have gone on location at Frederick Social in Downtown Frederick Maryland. A cool location with a beer wall, great eats and lots of atmosphere with live music and events regularly. You gotta check it out whether you live near Frederick or just traveling through. Mike and Audi are sure to greet you and you’ll love the experience!

The Crew will be discussing the NCAA BIG Dance and our shot in the dark picks, we will get into NFL free agency, difference makers in trades and signings and how the draft will potentially shape up now and who is still valuable on the Free Agent market. The Rock and his ex rolling out the XFL again. We are going to look at some of the rules they are implementing to change the dynamics of their version of pro football. Since we are talking about rules, MLB has rolled out some new rules for implementation this spring training and we will look at their impact.

What does Sasquatch, Yeti, Skunk Ape, Yowie and Almas have in common? You’ll find out on this episode of the Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei as we talk to Bigfoot enthusiast Mike Familant. Familant, a 33-year-old EMT, firefighter and graphic designer, is a full time bigfoot researcher, producer and lead investigator from NorthWest New Jersey. He first got into bigfooting in 2011 on an expedition in North Florida, where him and a friend experienced rocks being thrown at them while sitting around a campfire. Since then, he has made it his personal goal to find out exactly what is roaming the woods of America. In 2016, after becoming frustrated with the lack of true research expedition shows on TV, he created his own show, called “In the Shadow of Big Red Eye .” The show is currently filming their 5th season. In 2018, Mike also created a docuseries called “Squatchables ,” which was created for people who are just getting into bigfooting, sort of a “Bigfooting 101.” “With a passion for bigfooting and a history in video editing, I decided to make the first REAL show about what expeditions are truly about. You'll see RAW, UNCUT footage of what bigfooting actually is. If there is one thing I hope people gain from this show, is for families and friends to get off the couch and outside into nature to explore what this amazing world has to offer,” says Mike.

All of Mike’s episodes and more can be found on his YouTube Channel, “Sussex County Bigfoot.” In the Shadow of Big Red Eye is also on Facebook (same name), and Instagram @shadowofredeye.

The National Football League always casts a slippery slope with bending the rules. Our guest this week on the Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei is Kevin Bryant. Bryant has done in depth research and wrote about his discoveries in his book titled “ Spies on the Sidelines”. Kevin Bryant is an Army veteran with over twenty years of experience safeguarding and gathering information for the Department of Defense, including thirteen years as a Special Agent during which he conducted national security investigations and instructed federal agents in training.

Kevin graduated from the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) with a B.A. in History, and graduated with top honors from American Military University with an M.A. in Intelligence Studies and an M.S. in Sports Management.

During his senior year of high school he was selected onto the East-West Ambassadors National Select soccer team, composed of elite high school players from across the United States, and in college he played NCAA soccer for UCSC.

We talk with Kevin about his inspiration of the book, who he worked with to get his juicy details and who some of the more upstanding guys in the NFL really are. He also shares with us his take on how the league sweeps so much under the rug and what needs to change to help with “leveling the playing field”.

Our guest this week on the Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei is Lynn Wallington. Wallington is the host of Rebellious Ufology podcast. She has studied the UFO phenomena and worked with experiencers for the past 10 years. As a lifelong contactee and experiencer of the paranormal, she has come to understand how these experiences have helped to shape her into the person she has become. Her first paranormal experience happened at a young age, when she saw her great grandmother sitting at the edge of her bed one night, only to find out the next morning that she had passed away. And since that defining moment, she’s had a fascination with all things paranormal. Her interest in the paranormal and how it affects people led her to get a degree in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts. After Lynn graduated, she worked for Harvard Medical School as a research assistant working with clients who had Schizophrenia and other forms of psychosis.

In her 30’s Lynn had her first conscious experience with a ufo, and shortly after had an experience with a mantis being. Her interest in the field of ufology and contact was sparked. As time went on, Lynn began to put the pieces together and realize that some of the strange and unusual happenings throughout her life were tied to contact. In addition she’s also had involvement in the darker side of contact, such as mind control programming, the creation of alters, and the Secret Space Program. Using her own experiences and her background in Psychology, Lynn worked with FREE (The Dr Edgar Mitchell Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial Encounters) where she helped to develop and run the Support Program for experiencers. In doing so Lynn has had the privilege of talking with hundreds of experiencers where she helped them come to terms with their encounters.

Chess v Checkers changing conferences, what makes sense OK and Texas to SEC/UCLA and USC to Big 10 is this good for the fans? Who moves next? What does this do to the inevitable landscape?

Tired of the current rules of engagement, this soldier has gone rogue. He’s a Mercenary on a mission of expansion and takeover. This week’s guest on the Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei is professional wrestler Garrisaon Creed. Once enlisted in the U.S. army and with multiple combat deployments under his belt, Creed is all too familiar with getting his hands dirty to accomplish his mission. This soldier's gone rogue.

Our guest this week on the Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei is Matthew Semelsberger. A 3 Sport guy in high school competing in football, lacrosse, and wrestling. Excelling particularly in football and leading his high school to a state championship he earned a FBS scholarship to Marist where he was majoring in criminology before taking a life turn and beginning his MMA career. After one of his wrestling buddies showed him his collection of the Ultimate Fighting Championship videos, he was enamored with the sport and decided to start his goal of making the UFC. Starting his professional career in 2017, Semelsberger compiled a 6-2 record in the regional East Coast scene and fought his first UFC fight on August 22, 2020 against Carlton Minus with a unanimous victory. As he continues his pursuit of a welterweight championship we are going to discuss with Matthew his training, his role models in the sport and who has helped him excel thus far. We will also dig a little bit into his high school sports career and how it helped him to develop the habits he needs to be a highly competitive athlete today.

Pew, Pew, Pew ….he shoots and scores… how does the force and hockey mesh! This week's guest on the Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei is Justin McElwee. He’s a baseball fan, a self proclaimed video game nerd and described by many on his beer league team as an extremely mediocre hockey player. If that doesn’t grasp your curiosity his bank of worthless knowledge when it comes to Star Wars just very well may!

We are going to get into changes that baseball needs to make to bring the fans back, is views on hockey and who he sees hoisting the cup in June. Finally we are going to have some fun by creating an elite level NHL 1st and 2nd team with star wars characters describing why they fit into each position.

The OG of MMA, well maybe one of the OG’s…. This week's guest on the Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei is Mike Murray. Murray fought in the first MMA in March of 1980. So No! UFC is not groundbreaking, people. It was the first sanctioned MMA fight recognized in the United States and the SHowtime documentary entitled “Tough Guys” reaffirms that. Recognized with Dave Jones as the first two in the sport of MMA in the US they have help to transcend what has become one of the most beloved sports questionably surpassing boxing.

We will talk with Mike about his early years and what drove him to the sport, how he managed to get recognized along with Dave Jones as the OG’s of MMA and many of the accolades he has received throughout the years. Mike also will share his current position as promoter and just where you can find his fights taking place. So let's get ready to rumble…..

On this episode of the Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei we are celebrating our 100th episode. Hard to believe when this all started back in March of 2020 that we would get to this point but we have and there is much, much more work to be done. We are joined on this episode by a regular recently in Mike Neubeiser and former high school and college coach Dave Mencarini. Dave does not disappoint by talking about his years of coaching stops and some of the great individuals he had the pleasure of working with. We dig into how Dave and Mike had an "ah ha" moment with a player well before they won their first state championship and some of Dave's influences as a coach that lead to his career of success. Dave talks about current Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada and his relationship with him also meeting Mike Tomlin while his son, Dino, was being courted by the University of Maryland.
I can guarantee you'll walk away a more informed football fan with admiration for a couple of Maryland high school head football coaches who know how to get it done.

My guest this week on the Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei was born and raised in Erie, PA with a love of football. As a young boy, his uncle tried to brainwash him into becoming a Dallas Cowboys fan by sitting him in front of the TV and put on Cowboys film from the 90’s. Finally he was able to escape from the spell he was under and follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and become a Steelers fan. Tommy has covered the NFL since 2014 for a number of online publications including Sports Illustrated, Steel City Underground, and SB Nation. He is currently a full-time editor for FanSided, covering the Pittsburgh Steelers for Still Curtain and the NFL Draft for With the First Pick

We will discuss with Tommy his impressions of the 2021 season, free agent and draft targets, the pending Quarterback situation and his thoughts on the next General Manager of the PIttsburgh Steelers. For our “We just gotta know” segment we will ask Tommy to share the 5 most important players in the Pittsburgh Steelers future.

This week's guest on the Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei is Martina Kwan. Born in Hong Kong to a German mother and Chinese father, Martina Kwan was destined for a life that was different. She spent her childhood in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, but credits living in war torn Beirut, Lebanon between the ages of 8-10, as an experience that defined much of her fearlessness today. After earning two Master of Science degrees, she worked in the male dominated finance and accounting fields in New York City with KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Wall Street’s Lehman Brothers.She has won Telly and Emmy awards with the first company she founded, So! Animation. Daring to be different is what drives Martina today...literally! Three years ago, at the age of 50, Martina knew it was time to take a car racing hobby she occasionally enjoyed to the next level. Proving that it’s never too late, she decided to become a race car driver. Since her debut as the world’s only Female Chinese/European race car driver just four years ago, Martina has become a 3-time champion in a male-dominated racing category in her Porsche 911. She set track records in each of her Porsche car classes, and has won first place for the majority of each of the past 3 years she has driven. In addition, she drove semi-professionally in the Blancpain GT World Challenge where she podiumed twice in 7 races. She is a Champion Mindset Coach helping women reach their potential and attract high paying clients. In addition, she is the Co-Founder of the World's First Racing School DK Racing School, co-founded by a Male and Female FIA Licensed Race Car Driver, Dement and Kwan.

We will talk with Martina about her life growing up including the lessons she learned from Beirut. How she transitioned from Wall Street to being an Entrepreneur. What got her interested in racing cars and why she decided to start her own racing school. Her goals in helping others realize their self value. For the “We Just Gotta know” segment we will have Martina what kept her focused during those times that she transitioned in life.

Joel Hunt’s favorite saying is, “Tough times don’t last, tough people do,” and Hunt certainly fits the bill for a tough person. After serving three tours of duty in Iraq as an explosive-ordnance disposal technician, Hunt was medically retired from the Army in October 2007 with a partially paralyzed left leg and a traumatic brain injury that left him dealing with memory loss, headaches, dizzy spells and double vision. Upon returning home with severely limited mobility, he grew depressed. In December 2008, Hunt’s parents forced him to go to a ski camp for veterans with Traumatic Brain Injuries, and for the first time in a long time, Hunt felt like he was good at something. Hunt has earned top-10 finishes in national competition within three years of that ski camp. He earned two top-20 finishes in world cup competition and made his debut in the Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi.Currently, Joel is the founder and director of Military Broadcast Radio (MBR).

We will talk with Joel about his time spent during his three tours of duty in Iraq. What his setbacks did in his approach to life thereafter and who was instrumental in giving him support to get back on his feet and move on in life. Joel will share his experiences of being part of the paralympic ski team and competing in Sochi 2014. We will also have him talk about his Military Broadcast Radio, in which he is the President and Founder of. For our “We Just Gotta Know” segment Joel will talk about three events that have shaped his life.

You can find Joel on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook @ The H Train Show

On this episode of the Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei I invited some new blood to join in the post Super Bowl chatter and look at how we can fix the league with one move for each team (or at least try to). We discuss Top Plays, Performers, Unsung Heros and of course plays that could or did change the outcome. Next we look at each division and each team from within to try and piece together quickly, a plan that will increase their chance of leaving this season behind and being a viable competitor next year. Oh The QB roulette is addressed. Many are without, some are unhappy with and about half are staying put. Dissecting that one was a challenge but I feel we made some valid discoveries. We wrap things up with ranking the performers from the halftime show, it was a real treat !!!

On this episode of the Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei we tackle the issue of race in the NFL. The clouded views and hiring practices with rules in place. The "Good Ole Boy" Network continues to hire who they want without necessarily giving the best candidates a shot at success. The facts are there, just read between the lines. While speaking of questionable practices we discuss the Baseball Hall of Fame voting and why guys with gawdy numbers won't get in yet they vote in guys who have contested the rules with PEDs and were welcomed. Finally I share my views on some Top 10's in related to Super Bowl Sunday. Best Games, Players, Halftime Performers and of course SNACKS.

Evan Burk is a speaker, former NFL coach, and podcast host who uses the sports world as his backdrop to engage audiences with thought-provoking lessons of leadership, team-building, and creating championship cultures. Evan Burk is not your typical football coach. Despite not playing football beyond high school and no network in the coaching profession, Evan's unlikely football journey began as a 4th grade coach, where he quickly worked his way to the NFL in just 6 years, and included coaching for teams such as the Miami Dolphins, UCLA, and SMU. After spending fifteen-plus years working with the highest-performing athletes, coaches, and teams on the planet, Coach Burk uses his unique football coaching background to teach people how to utilize the same strategies in business and life that elite players and teams use to perform at a world-class level. Evan received his B.S. in business management from the University of Colorado, and his Master of Liberal Studies degree from Southern Methodist University. He also hosts his own weekly sports leadership podcast, The Highest Level, where he reveals how championship team cultures are built and the keys to leadership excellence at the highest level.
We will talk with Evan about his approach to using his experience in coaching to being a motivational speaker and bringing out the best in people. How he was able to parley being a high school player to being an NFL and NCAA football coach. Evan will also share with s the differences between sports leadership and leadership in general. For our “We just gotta know” segment, we ask Evan to share with us his 3 happiest places that help him to maintain his balance in life.You can find Evan @ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CoachEvanBurk

On this episode of the Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei, Terry "T-Sizzle" Young and I discuss the unorthodox rivalry between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens. Is Lamar Jackson really a QB or just a Super Athlete. How does a lowly Steeler team that got tagged for 41 the two previous weeks and tied Detroit the week before those games manage to frazzle the Ravens. We also look at the state of the future in terms of the quarterback position in Pittsburgh and the direction in may go free agency or draft. How about those college quarterbacks? Is this a good crop or exactly how the analyst project, not much to see here. We dive a little bit into Pittsburgh Penguin hockey and the teams that that are struggling along with them and finish up with the baseball lockout and is it time for a salary cap.

This weeks episode of the Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei features guest Dave Barend. Barend went to St. Bonaventure in New York and started doing stand up comedy. He had the fortunate opportunity to have opened for Jerry Seinfeld and Jon Stewart before going on to Boston College Law School. He continued his standup routine while in Boston as he worked to become a lawyer. Dave then moved to the Big Apple and entertained with his comedy throughout New York City. Dave’s passion for comedy took a slight twist when he co-wrote “Things That Might Annoy” joke books with comedian Paul Nardizzi as well as wrote many humor based articles. Dave finally followed his passion and began writing for my “College Hoops Humor” site which led to a gig with Basketball Times. Currently, Barend is the president of non-profit College Basketball Times.

We will talk with Dave about his illustrious journey from stand up comedy, to written comedy, practicing law and his current gig as the President of College Basketball Times. We will take an indepth look at his predictions and possible outcomes for the 2021-2022 college basketball season. Who his early season top 10 is, players to watch from freshman phenoms to potential player of the year honors.

Robert Patrick "Rocky" Bleier was a National Football League Halfback for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1968 and from 1970 to 1980.Born and raised in Appleton, Wisconsin. Bleier played college football at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend , Indiana, winning a National Championship his junior season. He then graduated in 1968 and was selected in the 16th round of the 1968 AFL/NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers, 417th overall. After his rookie season with the Steelers, Bleier was drafted into the U.S. Army on December 4, 1968, during the Vietnam War. Bleier was injured during his tour and lost part of his right foot. Sometime later he was awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart. Weighing only 180 lbs and walking with pain, Bleier was never discouraged from making the Steeler roster upon his return. In addition to being a great lead blocker, Bleier was second only to Franco Harris as a ball carrier. In fact in1976, both Harris and Bleier rushed for over 1,000 yards, making this the second NFL team to accomplish this feat, after Mercury Morris and Larry Csonka of the 1972 Miami Dolphins. Bleier played his entire professional career with the Steelers being part of their four Super Bowl Championships in the 70’s and retired in 1980. Upon retirement he wrote a book about his struggles following his war injury and making it in professional football and today does speaking engagements about retirement and financial ability which he discusses on his co-hosted talk show entitled The Rock on Retirement on Pittsburgh radio station 104.7 FM WPGB as well as he runs Bleier Zagula Financial with his business partner Matt Zagula.
We will talk with Rocky about his journey through college and why he chose Notre Dame and winning a National Championship there. His choice to become active in the military and his lasting memories from action. We will discuss Rocky’s lifelong professional career as a Pittsburgh Steelers and have him highlight for us some of the most glaring moments that he faced in his professional career. What it was like winning four SuperBowls and playing with a HOF group of teammates. We will also ask Rocky about his relationship with “The Chief” Art Rooney Sr and how he views today’s NFL including his very own Pittsburgh Steelers. For our “We Just Gotta Know” segment we will ask Rocky to talk about the most influential people he has encountered throughout his entire life.

This summer, the Potter Tour is taking on a large goal of setting a World Record for most people playing catch at one time. The main event will take place in Red Lion, PA, but there will also be over 100 virtual locations set up all over the country participating at the same time.
Coach Potter grew up in Ellwood City, PA, located about 30 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. Although he now resides in the Baltimore area with his wife Sheryl, he is still a Pittsburgh fan at heart.
We will talk with Jeff about his passion for the game of baseball. SOme of the life lesson’s he has taught young people through the game and what his goals and aspiration were when he began this adventure and just exactly where they have grown to today.

Baseballs early studs and duds as far as players and teams go is a can't miss topic and finally our piece on the NCAA portal and how amateur college athletes are always looking for greener pastures.

This week on the Steel City Nation podcast we'll be interviewing Mark Mendelelevitz of the American Ultimate Disc League. Mendelovitz grew up in Rockville, MD and played youth sports here and there, mostly soccer and basketball. He was a varsity football his senior year as well. But he was always a Lego and model rocket kid at heart - so I attended Florida Tech to pursue a degree in aerospace engineering. He continued to fuel his passion for sports when he played collegiate ultimate frisbee for 4 years. After college he worked at the Kennedy Space Center for 5 years and coached ultimate at Florida Tech. He continued to coach through 2019 as he ventured westward in Florida to Orlando and then Tampa. After college he gained interest in properly training for performance and became fascinated in "mental toughness" and sports psychology. He began playing for the American Ultimate Disc League (AUDL) in 2016 with the Tampa Bay Cannons, formerly of Jacksonville. At the beginning of 2020 he started his dream job for a small engineering company in Tucson, Arizona. Mark currently plays for the San Diego Growlers, the closest team to Tucson he could find. They are the back-to-back Western Division champions, although the 2020 season cancellation might have helped.

We will discuss with Mark his passion for sports and why he decided to get into ultimate. How his impact from his youth helped him to play at a professional level of the sport. What rules and strategy looks like in the AUDL. How plans to go forward with the sport and what if any coaching career he sees going forward.

Jesse Marshall is the Pittsburgh Penguins beat reporter for The Athletic in Pittsburgh. Previously, Jesse provided Penguins coverage for Faceoff-Factor and The Pensblog with a focus on analytics, the draft and video-based analysis.

We are going to talk all Pittsburgh Penguins hockey with Jesse and pick his brain about the current state of the team. WE will start with the former General Manager Jim Rutherford walking away from the job without any warning just 9 games into the season. Discuss how the Penguins will/are adjusting with the loss of so many defensemen so early in the season and what appears to be the emergence of a future number 1 defender in Pierre-Olivier Joseph. A long discussion of what ails the powerplay and how it can be fixed. We will look at the cap situation and how it is going to unfold for the Penguins as their key players are aging and their contracts are expiring (Malkin and Letang both after next season freeing up close to 17 million both up in 2022) with somewhere around 50 mil on the books for 2022-23 season.

We will have Jesse share with us in our Decade Definers segment the 4 or 5 best games he has covered in Penguins history.

Hey Steel City Nation, on this episode we will be talking with Charlotte Heyward. Yes you heard me correct, the wife of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward and mother of current Pittsburgh Steeler Defensive Lineman Cameron Heyward. Charlotte is born and raised a Steeler fan and has been attending games since she was 10 years old. She attended the University of Pittsburgh where she met Craig and began her family which included having three sons. She worked in the real estate industry while she also held the title of “sports mom” by taxing her boys to practices, games, tournaments, and college visits. Charlotte’s middle son played basketball for Georgia Tech and her youngest currently plays football for Michigan State but for Charlotte a dream came true when In 2015, She and Cameron were able to turn one of their biggest passions--giving back to the community--into The Cameron Heyward Foundation, aka The Heyward House. Charlotte serves as the Foundation’s Executive Director. Charlotte is proud to have the chance to serve the city that she loves and where she has such strong roots, and she looks forward to doing so for many years to come.

We will talk about her life as a wife of a professional athlete but also her role as mom during that time as well. We will ask Charlotte about growing up a Steeler fan now having a son that is unquestionably one of the faces of the franchise. We will talk about her passion for giving back to the community and just what the future holds for her. Charlotte’s Decade Definer will focus on the most exciting games she has attended that her family has been a part of.

On Episode 36 of the Steel City Nation podcast, your host, Mark Maradei, has his barbershop crew in to talk Steelers football and the recent slide and cracks in the armour that they have been displaying. Two of the three guys from the Sports Podium podcast, Michael Mills (Chops) and James Lawhorn (Mic Dr.) join me along with Rashene Hill in our in depth breakdown of the Steelers-Ravens on December 2nd and then we deep dive in to the debacle of the Steelers- Washington Football Team from Monday, December 7th. If you are a Steeler fan you are not going to want to miss this banter-filled surgical cut up of all that ills what was a 10-0 team and is now lucky to be 11-1.

The breakdown includes the struggles of the running game, the lack of the offensive line able to produce holes to run through, are the right backs in the backfield, Receiver drops and why they are becoming more prevalent, Ben’s control of the offense, how the defense is adjusting to injury lose and should they be thinking about adding veteran depth.

On this episode of the Steel City Nation podcast Mark Maradei speaks with Ike Taylor. Taylor is a former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback. The two time Super Bowl champion, was a fourth round selection in the 2003 NFL Draft, and spent his entire 12-year career in Pittsburgh. He played college football at University of Louisiana at Lafayette where he began as a walk on in 2001 where he earned a scholarship just prior to the season beginning. Ike went from running back/special teams player to cornerback and his blazing speed at his pro day 4.18 along with his size is what got him recognized and inspired the Steelers to take a chance on him. Taylor retired from the Steelers in 2015 and worked as an analyst for NFL Now and other shows on the NFL Network for a few years.

We will discuss with Ike why he chose the University of Louisiana Lafayette for school and how his experience there impacted his NFL career. We will look at what it was like playing for Dick LeBeau, Bill Cowher and Mike Tomlin. He will share with us his memories of playing on one of the best defenses in NFL history in 2008 and how those defenses were essentially put together.

Ike will also talk about his relationship with Dan Rooney and how it grew so much so that he played his entire career in PIttsburgh. Ike will join us for our Decade Definers by sharing his five most memorable games he played in during his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

On this episode of the Steel City Nation podcast we will be breaking down the Steelers most recent victory over the Dallas Cowboys. We will talk about how the offense has been sputtering in recent weeks but gains enough through Ben Roethlisberger's experience to come out on top. We will highlight the performance of JuJu Smith-Schuster and how he has become a version of a former Steeler who also would take the team on his shoulders and lead to victory in Hines Ward. Defensively, with Tyson Alualu missing in the middle the run game has suffered with Isaiah Buggs and Henry Mondeau expected to fill the hole and we will discuss how important it is to make teams one dimensional going forward to enhance the Steelers chances weekly. Finally we will take a look ahead the Cincinatti Bengals, week 9's opponent and their rookie QB Joe Burrow, who at this point is having a Rookie of the Year campaign. Our final segment we will discuss the state of the NFL as we move into the second half and who will challenge or even over take the Steelers as the top team. Our power five rankings are consistent but will they change with this weeks big divisional games, who knows....STAY TUNED!!!

On this episode of the Steel City Nation podcast my co-host Kevin Watson and I will interview Chris Carter. Carter was born and raised in Pittsburgh and works as an analyst for DK Pittsburgh Sports covering the Pittsburgh Steelers and the NFL and most recently University of Pittsburgh Football and basketball. Chris’s career began analyzing the Steelers as a contributor and later a contributing editor for BehindTheSteelCurtain.com in 2013. He is currently the host of Locked on Steelers podcast.

Chris spends a great deal of his time volunteering in the Pittsburgh area when he is not practicing law or covering football.

We will discuss with Chris the 2020 Pittsburgh Steelers outlook. Just how things have shaped up in camp and how the team has responded to the return of Ben Roethlisberger. Whether he thinks the defense can take the next step in returning to the playoffs after a two year hiatus. Who his sleeper players are on offense and defense and what free agents he thinks are going to be playing for a contract with so many key contributors up after this season.

On this episode of the Steel City Nation podcast I’ll interview “Pittsburgh Dad” Curt Wootton. Wootton’s inspiration for his character of “Pittsburgh Dad” came from his own father while growing up in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. While working on the set from a previous series called “Mercury Men”, Curt would do his impression of his father by “yelling” at the cast members focusing on insignificant things like a western Pennsylvanian father would. The premise for the show was to highlight growing up in the PIttsburgh area and how you were raised and was only intended for those who had a close tie to Curt and his friends originally. Once word caught on about “Pittsburgh Dad” around the globe and people could make the clear connection between their father and Curt’s character, his celebrity, “Pittsburgh Dad”, escalated. With millions of views and thousands of subscribers on Youtube, Curt has created a brand that connects generations of Pittsburghers.

We will talk with Curt about growing up in Pittsburgh, raising his family, being a fan of the Pirates, Penguins and Steelers. He will talk about his experiences with local lore around Pittsburgh including restaurants, Kennywood Park and of course Pittsburgh’s very own, Mr. Rogers. Our Decade Definers segment will have “Dad” sharing with us his all-time favorite Pittsburgh athletes.

He started playing at a young age in local youth programs until he wound up in men’s league full time. His family are Pittsburgh transplants and he followed suit supporting the Pirates, Steelers and especially the Penguins at all points of the year. During non-hockey season he has gotten further down the rabbit hole of golf in recent years and Doesn’t mind the occasional cocktail or cigar either.
Tony Figorski is Philadelphia, Born and raised. Became a rabid fan of the Flyers and hockey when I was 7 started playing on ice when I was 9, always a defenseman, played through high school and in the Men's league for many years.
