Unwritten Rules of Sports — Are They Sacred or Stupid? | Generations New Episode — May 2, 2026 Nikola Jokić sprinted the full length of the court to grab Jaden McDaniels by the jersey after a garbage-time layup. Was McDaniels dead wrong for scoring? Or should the reigning champion just win a game when it matters? Jonathan and Steve dive deep into the unwritten rules of sports — who made them, whet...

Mark is a tortured Knicks fan. He has been for decades. And this week, he finally gets to tell the whole story. From the championship Knicks of Clyde Frazier, Willis Reed, and Dollar Bill Bradley — the consummate team that Steve watched dominate with roles and passing and smart basketball — all the way to Jalen Brunson giving New York a reason to care again. Everything in between is a masterclass...

Rest in Power, Garrett Anderson. Before we get into anything else — the show opens with a tribute to Garrett Anderson, one of the most reliable, consistent, and criminally underrated Angels of all time. The guy who hit a three-run double in Game 7 of the 2002 World Series. The guy Jonathan made his son a homemade Angels jersey for. The guy you couldn't hate, could only fear. He was 53. He will...

🏴‍☠️ 40 Years of Raiders Football: The Most Painful Oral History in Sports | Generations Fair warning: this one hurts. But it's also one of the most entertaining episodes we've ever done. Jonathan delivers a full forty-year oral history of the Oakland/Los Angeles/Irwindale/Las Vegas Raiders — every coach, every draft pick, every heartbreak, every inexplicable quarterback decision, and eve...

⚾🏀 Final Four Bracket Showdowns + Barry Bonds Is a Cheat Code | Generations S4 We're in the Final Four of our Influential Sports Figures Tournament, baseball season is officially underway, and Barry Lamar Bonds is breaking everyone's brain with numbers that shouldn't be legal. Jonathan, Steve, and Mark cover it all across three generations of sports memory — and somehow make walks, i...

In the spirit of March Madness, we seeded 68 influential people in sports. Once seeded, the people are represented by a real team in the men's tournament. When that team advances, so does the person. Ali was made our overall number one influential sports person and is represented by Duke. Ali defeated 16 Seed Michael Phelps represented by Sienna (albeit barely), 9 Seed Bo Jackson represented b...

In the spirit of March Madness, we seeded 68 influential people in sports. Once seeded, the people are represented by a real team in the men's tournament. When that team advances, so does the person.

I proposed the concept of taking a list of influential sports figures and creating a bracket. We would attribute the figures to be represented by real teams in this year's March Madness. As the real teams advanced, so did the represented sports figure. This is episode one where we start to rank the figures for the tourney. Additionally, there were 53 figures pre-selected. Mark, Steve, and I we...

Coming off some of the best hot take moments of Steve's podcast career, we tone things down a little and discuss whether Parity is good for sports or not. I get booed for bringing up relegation again. We tend to all agree on rivalries and dynasties make things more interesting. NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL all discussed.

Steve is keeping it spicy. We find out why he thinks Wade Boggs is overrated. Not that it is totally part of the show, but the answer is revealed. We have a callback with Steve going on that Robert Horry is a carpetbagger. Andre Iguodala is the new target for this. We discuss home field, intangibles, number one overall picks, and other things. I bring up economics just to make Steve cringe and Mar...

What was supposed to be a discussion on GLUE guys, the other guys, or basically the unheralded guys, took a weird turn when Steve said Wade Boggs should not be a Hall of Famer basically because he does not care for him. Steve has turned into a contrarian for no other reason than to be a contrarian. Mark and I get sucked into a discussion where we have to denigrate Tony Gwynn, another Hall of Famer...

This episode loses the plot quickly and Steve turns it into things he can't stand. It gets very "Get off my lawn" fast. As a listener, you will love it for all the reasons why Steve is great (or not great) at podcasting. You get Jonathan's righteous indignation and Mark just tries to make sense of things. MLB, NFL, and NBA gripes abound.

If you like the circular and irrational logic of Steve, this episode is for you. Rejecting new ideas and thinking has become a legit hallmark of Steve's persona on the show. What you will listen to is real and unedited. Strap in! Taking sports to yesteryear is on tap. New ideas are for nerds who like math, business, and apparently got an MBA at Pepperdine. Mark and I offer sound changes with some...

We're finally here. You get to hear Jonathan's top worst and best sports moments. Of course, one of the worst did not make the top 5, but Mark astutely calls is out at the end. Steve gives Jonathan a hard time that his Number 1 sports moment is not a moment. Giants, Raiders, Warriors, David Lee, Buster Posey, Will Clark, Skip Bayless, Jim Plunkett, Marcus Allen, Lester Hayes, Steph Curry,...

What the what!?! A third of the NFL has to find a new coach. Once coach shifted from one team to the next. Tomlin resigns and if someone wants him, the Steelers get compensation? Winning coach of the year in the NBA seems to be a tell-tale sign that you will get fired within a year or two. How did we get here? Is it the new norm? Steve tells you how many coaches were fired and hired in 1975. Stagg...

Tommy Pham sets it off in an article in the Athletic regarding his sort of understanding of data, stats, advanced stats, and so on. Steve continues with his, "You can't measure everything, INTANGIBLES" and my continued mantra of, "You can, and most people don't understand statistical analysis". Now, we have Mark and the voice of reason. Oh, and there are 7 NFL head coac...
