Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Ty, and Producer Tim discuss: The remnants of the Pac-12 are trying to re-bolster their conference by inviting four universities to join them.

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Ty, Bijan, and Producer Tim discuss: The NFL lost a significant class-action lawsuit over The NFL Sunday Ticket, with the class-action plaintiffs being awarded $4.7B due to broken antitrust laws.

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Ty, and Producer Tim discuss: The NBA Draft is here. More than half of the first 10 were from other countries. Are American players losing position in the stature aisle? Numbers 1 and 2 were French. JJ Riddick is the new coach of the Lakers. So?

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Ty, and Producer Tim discuss: Two major sports legends (Willie Mays and Jerry West) pass away within days of each other.

The Celtics closed out the NBA Finals...

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Ty, Bijan, and Producer Tim discuss: Celtics/Mavs NBA finals- Boston can not be beaten and will win in five, at least one member of the crew says (not Ty). Will Ty give backhanded compliments to the Celtics’ coach? How do the others predict? Oilers/ Panthers NHL final- do you really have to have your heart broken? If so, advanta...

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Ty, Bijan, and Producer Tim discuss: The NBA Conference Finals are underway. Who will advance to the league finals, Dallas, Minnesota, Indy, or Boston? Why each team could be set or fret. Does Ty hate his beloved Celtics’ coach? It sounds like he might, right? The same with the NHL conference finals. Who will it be? Dallas? Colo...

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Ty, Bijan, and Producer Tim discuss: The NFL Draft is this week! The first three picks are pretty much locks, but what about the rest of the picks? Why do three of the four co-hosts love the draft hoopla, while one hates it? The NBA playoffs started this week, and some of the matchups are going according to predictable plans, while so...

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Ty, Bijan, and Producer Tim discuss: NBA is banning Jontay Porter, for life, for gambling. Is this a one-off? Or is it a real issue for the NBA? He is a player with no real name recognition, but the idea that a player can affect gambling odds is a real issue. Should college prop bets be banned? Why is Caitlin Clark’s salary bein...

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Ty, Bijan, and Producer Tim discuss: The Final Four of both NCAAM and NCAAW are upon us. Who will win? How bad will the defeats be?

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett and Producer Tim discuss: The NFL Combine, more specifically, the rumors surrounding off-season moves and possible shifts (like Russell Wilson, Kurt Cousins, etc.), and is it worth it when most of the big names and players aren’t participating? It’s championship week(s) in the NCAA. What do “bubble teams” need t...

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Ty, Bijan, and Producer Tim discuss: The CFP confirmed the 5-7 model, which is not surprising to anyone. So the format will be five conference champions (ACC, SEC, B10, Big 12, and the highest “Group of Five” champion) will get the automatic bids. And there will be seven “at-large” teams chosen. The top 4 recei...

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Ty, Bijan, and Producer Tim discuss: Bijan is IN the studio this week. Of course, there was a rather important game that happened this past weekend. Did the gang pick correctly? There is a rather intense argument about whether the game was “boring” or not. Also, did Tony Romo break the FIRST rule of broadcasting? Why does...

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Ty, Bijan, and Producer Tim discuss: Lots of the Super Bowl. The current line (as of this recording) is San Francisco -2. with over/under at 47.5.

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Ty, and Producer Tim discuss: Jim Harbaugh to Chargers. It’s not really a surprise; all the violations at Michigan, they are going to end up vacating the title. Get out now, and hope the school can save face. Is the Chargers the right place for him? Antonio Pierce gets the full-time Raiders gig. Apparently, he was the choice of...

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Ty, Bijan, Taylor, and Producer Tim discuss: Fan Interference welcomes in Taylor Kauffman to be a fifth voice as we talk about the NFL Playoffs. It’s over an hour of playoffs, but good stuff. Did Peacock do a decent job, or did they fall short? Do fans like the streaming aspect? A recap of the past weekend’s games and pred...

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Ty, Bijan, and Producer Tim discuss: The first episode of 2024!!! Producer Tim, an avid Steelers fan, had an epiphany and stated something even he didn’t think he’d ever say. NFL Playoffs begin this week. Who do you trust? Who are frauds? The gang gave predictions. Coaching carousel. Rivera and Smith are out in Washington...

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Ty, and Producer Tim discuss: Last podcast of 2023. Who is your player of the year? Your team of the year? Your game of the year? The FI Gang discussed theirs. Shohei Ohtani’s $700m/10-year contract with the Dodgers. He defers 97% of the money for 10 years. Will only make $2 million per year for the first 10 years. But, really,...

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Bijan, and Producer Tim discuss: A show that is NCAA heavy. Did FSU get screwed? Did they get it right? Can two things can be true?

NCAA President Charlie Baker announced he wants the NCAA to create a new tier of D1 athletics where schools with the most resources...

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Ty, and Producer Tim discuss: College Football Playoffs and what happens if Bama beats UGA? Could the SEC be left out of the playoffs? If the top 4 win this weekend, then there’s no problem. But what if…? Lots of movement in the transfer portal. It’s basically “free agency” for college sports. Who is surp...

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Ty, and Producer Tim discuss: The Big Ten has suspended Jim Harbaugh for the final three games of the regular season, although there is a hearing on Friday that could allow a 2-week injunction. Is the head coach ultimately responsible for things he may not know about within the program? Why is Harbaugh suspended and not other assistan...

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Ty, and Producer Tim discuss: The Rangers have won their first-ever World Series. The Diamondbacks had several opportunities to pull it off but didn’t. Ohio State is #1, does it matter? Is anyone surprised?

Recorded in the Omniverus Studios in Winston-Salem, NC Everett, Bijan, and Producer Tim discuss: Let’s talk about the baseball playoffs. Specifically, the format. Is it fair to the best teams? The Astros and Phillies have figured it out, but the Braves, Dodgers, and Orioles all won over 100 games and went 1-9 with the week off.  Also, do we need 162 games? If the playoffs are a crapshoot, if...
