Craft Brewed Sports

The USMNT’s World Cup run is over after getting run off the field by Belgium, and we’re asking the hard question: are they just…mid? We break down another disappointing exit, whether the Balogun suspension drama had any impact, and laugh at FOX’s desperate attempts to convince America to keep watching the tournament. Then it’s on to the NBA, where Stephen A. Smith sparked another firestorm by ripp...

The NBA rumor mill is officially in overdrive. We break down reports that LeBron James has told the Lakers they can move on after securing Bronny’s guaranteed contract, plus the wild possibility of LeBron, Anthony Davis, Steph Curry, and Draymond Green joining forces in Golden State. We also discuss Kawhi Leonard’s rumored return to Toronto and ask the important question: what’s the funniest possi...

Giannis is headed to Miami, Brendan Sorsby’s football odyssey may finally be over, and somehow a Ghanaian witch doctor became one of the biggest stories of the World Cup. This episode went exactly where you’d expect…and then nowhere near where you’d expect. Tonight we discussed: 🏀 Giannis getting traded to Miami ☘️ Why Jimmy Haslam reportedly blocked a Giannis-for-Jaylen Brown deal with Boston 🚔...

Scotland has officially invaded America. The Tartan Army descended on Boston during the World Cup and reportedly drank flights, bars, and liquor stores dry. We break down one of the greatest fan stories in sports and whether Scotland has already won the World Cup of partying. Plus: 🏈 Brendan Sorsby enters the NFL Supplemental Draft 🏀 The Knicks finally win a championship and give hope to every s...

Brendan Sorsby admitted to betting on games while on the team and somehow gets a court ruling allowing him to play football. College athletics officially entered the Twilight Zone this week, and now athletic directors are talking about refusing to schedule Texas Tech in any sport. This week on Craft Brewed Sports: 🏈 Brendan Sorsby’s injunction has the college football world furious 🚫 Athletic di...

Could Aaron Donald really come out of retirement and immediately dominate alongside Myles Garrett? Are the Giants building the oldest wide receiver room in football? And are we actually getting closer to a LeBron James and Steph Curry super team? This week on Craft Brewed Sports, comedian and Man on the Mat creator Hayden Arrington joins the show to discuss how he went from stand-up comedy to inte...

Coach O is BACK at LSU and somehow the SEC got even more unhinged. This week on Craft Brewed Sports: 💉 The Enhanced Games were a complete disaster 🏀 We debate whether the athletes intentionally underperformed to make PEDs look safer 🍺 Sip, Chug, Drainpour: Which CBS host would dominate the Steroid Olympics? 💪 Every sports team gets ONE designated roid guy, who are you picking? 💰 Brewers fans...

The boys are back breaking down another week of absolute sports nonsense. This episode has EVERYTHING: ⚾ The Stephen F Austin club baseball team turning a St. Louis Cardinals game into a full-blown soccer supporters section 🔥 The debate over whether baseball actually NEEDS soccer-style crowds 🐓 Edwin Diaz's legal troubles in Puerto Rico 🏀 The Cavs making the Eastern Conference Finals without L...

Lane Kiffin absolutely unloaded on Ole Miss and Mississippi culture while explaining why he chose LSU, and Sark decided to jump into the pile-on with a “basket weaving” drive-by. Meanwhile Boise State is selling pieces of blue turf for NIL money, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs invented the world’s most unnecessary beer delivery system, and the Louisville Bats somehow made “Nothing Night” sound like th...

The Orioles hit a grand slam and that’s all it took for Jim Palmer to eat his first chicken wing at 80 years old. Baseball is undefeated. The Cubs might have the worst “reward” in sports, making their player of the game take a shot of Malört like it’s some kind of celebration. Meanwhile, the SEC is rolling out robot umps, the Big Ten is casually handing out $1.37 BILLION, and college football is s...

A missed field goal saved a man’s life?! We break down the unbelievable story involving Younghoe Koo and how one of the worst kicks you’ll ever see turned into something way bigger than football. But that’s just one piece of a completely unhinged week in sports: • The NCAA is expanding March Madness to 76 teams because apparently we needed more • The NBA playoffs are both overcrowded and somehow s...

We made it! 10 years of Craft Brewed Sports. Tonight: the San Diego Padres’ $3.9B sale, a wild Cincinnati Bengals trade involving Dexter Lawrence, and Victor Wembanyama making history with a unanimous DPOY. Then it goes completely off the rails (as expected): • What the Padres sale actually means for the next MLB labor fight—and why fans might side with billionaires • How the Savannah Bananas coul...

Back in the Speakeasy and this one goes completely off the rails in the best way possible. The Seattle Mariners tried to honor Ichiro Suzuki, and the statue immediately had a broken bat situation. You had one job. Then MLB somehow outdid itself with replay chaos: challenge an overturned call, just to end up with the original call anyway. John Smoltz went full OWG about ABS, and now umpires are eve...

Greg and Mookie take over while Mike is out, and they waste no time getting into it. Nothing better than watching UConn completely fall apart with BOTH the men’s and women’s teams getting bounced in the same weekend. If you’ve been waiting on the downfall, this was your moment. Then there’s Pat Murphy, who casually pulled a turtle out of his pocket and gifted it to a reporter… without realizing th...

Robot umps are already causing chaos in baseball, and we might’ve just seen the moment everything changes. We break down the insane sequence where Eugenio Suárez challenged back-to-back strike calls from CB Bucknor and won BOTH, why older umpires are getting exposed at a ridiculous rate, and how this system could literally turn a walk into a strike 'em out/throw ‘em out double play. But that’s jus...

Opening Day is almost here, and ballpark food has officially gone off the rails. We’re reacting to some of the wildest new menu items in baseball, from a Watermelon Habanero Margarita in LA to a 128oz nacho bucket in Arizona, plus cotton candy fries, a machete quesadilla, and even toasted grasshoppers. We also get into: • The Mets’ ridiculous 9-9-9 challenge box • A must-see Vladimir Guerrero Jr....

If you’re betting on March Madness, stop guessing. We break down the ONLY six teams that can actually win it all based on real trends that have held up for decades. But that’s just the start of the chaos. Tonight’s episode includes: • World Baseball Classic drama as Team USA pushes for the title (and the commercials get… weirdly specific) • Louisiana Tech somehow scheduled for 20 football games th...

Dak Prescott’s wedding is off, Logan Paul backed out of a $1 million fight with an NFL player, and a soccer match in Brazil somehow ended with 23 red cards. Just another normal week in sports. This week on Craft Brewed Sports, we dive into the report that Dak Prescott and his fiancée called off their wedding after a massive fight at their joint bachelor/bachelorette party in the Bahamas. Did Dak d...

No Mike. No structure. Just Greg and Mookie with way too much freedom. Mookie immediately starts messing with backgrounds, we question reality after realizing we actually have to work tomorrow, and then it spirals into Magic City Monday, undefeated mid-majors on the brink, and fast-food warfare. On this episode: • The Atlanta Hawks announce Magic City Monday (yes, that Magic City) • Lemon pepper w...

Mookie opens the show gloating about Arsenal F.C., we debate the true power of the Wooden Spoon, and then we get into the real chaos. Tarik Skubal is basically one-and-done for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, and we’re not thrilled about it. Who fills the gap? Is Team USA already in trouble? And are robo-umps about to screw someone in a massive spot thanks to the ABS strike zone issue that...

The greatest rivalry in sports has officially been born. Ball State vs. Sacramento State is happening, the MAC ignores geography, and the Ball-Sac Bowl era is upon us. If there isn’t a truck nuts trophy, we’ve failed as a country. We also break down: • LSU unveiling the first NCAA jersey patch • Tony Clark stepping down as head of the MLBPA amid scandal • Nick Castellanos and the “Miami Incident”...

That Super Bowl was a stinker…but at least Bad Bunny showed up. We break down everything from a flat game and a halftime show that saved the night, to Cardi B and Stefon Diggs seemingly splitting in real time. There was a streaker, Hall of Famers reminding us we’re getting old, and somehow Pete Rose catching strays. Then things get weird. 49ers DT Keion White reportedly gets shot in the ankle afte...

Greg is back, the beers are flowing, and somehow this Super Bowl turned into the Missionary Monday of championship games. We debate whether anyone is actually excited, break down why buffalo chicken dip is doing the heavy lifting, and spiral into music takes that range from Kid Rock avoidance strategies to why Nate Dogg should’ve stayed a featured artist. We dig into Super Bowl prop bets (Charlie...

What a crappy football weekend, and somehow, it got even dumber. We kick things off with a broken chat, questionable beverage choices, and a very serious Sip, Chug, Drainpour debate featuring Mountain Dew Code Red, Baja Blast, and the OG. Then things spiral fast. Mike Vrabel is officially one win away from having to honor the most reckless podcast promise of all time, which leads us to an honest d...

Indiana wins the National Championship and Curt Cignetti officially turns the college football world upside down. We break down how aggressive coaching, questionable officiating, and a perfect storm led to the Hoosiers’ title — and what it means for the Big Ten, the SEC, and every other coach trying to keep up. From Cignetti’s psychotic Chipotle routine to Carson Beck openly admitting he’s not at...
