Draft Day

You didn't think we'd avoid sports drafts forever, did you? I'm just imagining somebody who started listening on our Oscars draft and then enjoyed the 314 draft and now are like "Oh, they're drafting sportsballs now? Picking handegg rosters, are we?"

It was the summer of 2009. Hosts John Fleming and Jason Bradshaw had just met each other the semester before at The Truman State University, the Black Eyed Peas were somehow the biggest band in the world, and an amateur pitcher out of San Diego had gone from high school afterthought to the most celebrated college baseball player in a generation. In the first televised Major League Baseball draft,...

In the annals of number one overall draft picks in professional sports, it is impossible to deny that Erik Johnson is one of them. And in this episode of Draft Day, St. Louis sports obsessives John Fleming and Jason Bradshaw reminisce about the 2006 NHL Draft, the first draft in which a St. Louis sports team earned the #1 overall pick. Where will Erik Johnson fall in the re-draft compared to the o...

In the debut episode of Draft Day, John Fleming and Jason Bradshaw take their turns at the 2017 NFL Draft. Will their anti-Chiefs biases keep them from taking Patrick Mahomes at #1? Where will premium NFL running backs like Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara land with today's pass-happy NFL? How audible will the sounds of John's dog and Jason's kid be? All of these questions and many...

In the stirring first episode of Draft Day, John Fleming tests the audio.
