With the NFL Draft less than a month away, the Dolphins, 49ers and Eagles aren't waiting around for other teams to move first. This past weekend the 3 teams agreed to two separate trades that will undoubtedly change how the draft shapes up. Find out what we think of the deals, and which team, if any, got the most out of it. Speaking of the draft, the Jaguars have the first pick and without questio...

We are excited to announce two new segments that are going to be added to the show on a trial basis. First, each week Ben will be bringing you a story from the NHL, And second, Chris will use his knowledge to help you navigate the sometimes confusing world of fantasy baseball.

Free agency has just begun for 2021, and despite the lower than expected salary cap, this has already been one of the most wild and exciting starts in years. Whether it's one of last years playoff teams signing a key piece to their puzzle, or the Patriots essentially reshaping their roster overnight. We have all the details, and plenty of opinions, on how this's year free agency period has unfolde...

Earlier this week New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees announced he would be retiring from the NFL after 20 season. Naturally this has caused much discussion into just where Brees ranks on the all time QB list. Is he one of the greatest of all time as many have suggested? Or is he overrated? We will definitely have some strong opinions on this one. As expected the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tom Brady ha...

With free agency looming the Dallas Cowboys didn't take any chances that their star QB Dak Prescott would end up in another uniform and signed him to a 4 year mega deal. While this is what the Cowboys needed to do, handling previous contracts poorly put them in a position they really didn't need to be in. Find out what we think of the Cowboys moving forward, and which player will be the next to re...

Recently the head of the NFLPA advised player agents to collude with one another and share information, in an attempt to assure teams don't undercut players signing new contracts with the reduced salary cap this year. While this as nefarious as it sounds, it's not great advice for everyone. It didn't take J.J. Watt that long to find a new home. Over the weekend he signed a 2 year contract with the...

The Padres have only seen a sample of what their young shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr can do. And it appears that was more than enough. Last week they signed him to the 3rd largest contract in MLB history, and he's only 21. Did the Padres make a mistake? Find out. After many months of speculation, the Philadelphia Eagles ended the suspense when they traded former QB Carson Wentz to the Indianapolis C...

With a little more than six weeks til Opening Day, everything appears to be a go for the 2021 MLB season. We look into what was different between this and last year, and whether or not we believe things will stay on track. This past week the Houston Texans and star DE J.J. Watt agreed to mutually part ways. While this comes as a surprise to some, it means that Watt is now free to sign with whomeve...

This past Sunday Super Bowl 55 took place and didn't exactly go as many expected. We break down the results and what the outcome means for both teams this offseason. After weighing his options, and causing plenty of speculation on social media, Trevor Bauer has signed a deal with the LA Dodgers. However, there appears to be some hurt feelings from one of the teams who he allegedly snubbed. We'll e...

After rejecting an offer by the MLB owners to have.a shortened 154 game regular season, it looks like the 2021 MLB season will start on time and be a full season. We break down these recent developments and explain why this seems different from last season's drama. Ken Griffey Jr has a new job, and he's the perfect guy for it. What is it? You'll have to listen to find out. Despite our thinking tha...

We start off by remembering one of the best to ever step foot onto the baseball diamond. Of course we are talking about Hank Aaron, who sadly passed away on January 22nd. While on the field he was remembered by many for the number 755, he was so much more than that. We will do out best to put into words exactly how great Hank Aaron truly was. For the second time in recent memory the BBWAA hasn't e...

Earlier this week MLB announced that former Red Sox & Cubs GM Theo Epstein would be joining the league office as a consultant to the commissioner for "on-field issues". We feel this is one of the better decisions MLB has made in a long time. If the guy to who helped break the curse for Boston & Chicago can't help, than no one can. Just days after being reinstated by the NFL, troubled Seaha...

Last week MLB and Dodgers legend Tommy Lasorda passed away at the age of 93. We take a few moments to share our thoughts, and pay our respect to a man who spent 71 years with the Dodgers organization. We predicted it last week, and as of Monday it became real. Doug Pederson is out as Head Coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. Just 3 seasons after hoisting the teams only Super Bowl trophy. What went so...

With all the news and happenings that came with the end of the 2020 NFL regular season, we didn't think we would be able to fit all of it, along with our playoff predictions in one episode. So we decided to break it up and do a special episode dedicated to our picks for the regular season award winner, and our predictions for how the NFL playoffs will unfold. Get ready for some hot takes, and unex...

After taking rookie QB Jalen Hurts out of Sunday nights game against the Washington Football Team, Eagles Head Coach Doug Pederson is getting criticism from just about everyone. It's not necessarily what he did that has caused the controversy. But the way he went about it. We give our take, and explain why no one should feel bad for the Giants. In what might be one of the least talked about marche...

With this being the last episode of 2020, we thought it appropriate to take a moment and remember the many all time MLB greats who have left us this year. It took a few months but the Baseball offseason is starting to heat up. Several key trades have gone down overt the past few days, and lets just sayt the same team that dominated the 2020 trade deadline, is picking up right where they left off....

While is seems inevitable that Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes will win his second MVP award at years end, there is an avenue for a few top QB's to sneak in and take it from him. This would take an unlikely set of circumstances, but the possibility does raise create some interesting conversation. Following their stunning week 15 upset of the then division leading LA Rams, the Jets are winless no more. B...

The Cleveland Indians announced Monday that following the 2021 season they will be changing the teams nickname, after 105 years. This is clearly an overreaction to appease those that are professionally offended by everything, and we think a bad decision. Never shy on opinions, we will tell you exactly why this didn't need to happen. With news of a Covid 19 vaccine beginning to be distributed In th...

On Sunday the Jets came within seconds of finally winning their first game of the season. Only to have bad play calling snack defeat from the jaws of victory. Somehow coach Adam Gase once again avoided the axe and defensive coordinator Greg Williams took the fall for it. We discuss the absurdity of this whole situation, and what the Jets can do to get back on track. After a season and a half of tu...

A lot has been made about the NFL not caring about its players and worrying only about money and the bottom line. What many of these sources don't tell you is the NFL gave every player the option to opt out before the season, and still get paid. They even offered more money to players who opted out due to being high risk. We always pride ourselves on being consistent, so we decided it might be a g...

Baseball has been relatively quiet since the last out of the World Series, and while its not huge news, Charlie Morton going to the Braves is notable.

How will Morton help the Braves, and will the Rays actually move Snell? Bengals QB Joe Burrow suf...
