Sports Theory

Plus the usual rundown and a Christmas visit from the fabulous Mr. Pe...

The Sports Theory guys get this one in just before a Nor'Easter hits and like all the great ones, the pressure brings out the best in them as this is in our opinion one of our best. As usual the fabulous Mr. Perry joins us with his picks for week 15, and PJ shares that today (December 16th) is an important anniversary in his life. This is Sports Theory at its unfiltered best, just in time for...

The Sports Theory guys are back in the studio together after a 2 week absence, and with the current state of affairs in RI at this point we are unsure when we will be back again.  This episode goes off the rails pretty early on as we had lots of catching up to do, but we do manage to get in Perry's picks, and also make our own picks for week 14. 

OK, so right off the top I have to confess that this one- it might not be our greatest episode. This week we did a remote session- PJ was in the Sports Theory studio and EMac was on the phone. The results- that's up to you to decide. Spoiler alert- not great. Real difficult not being in the same room together. Next week we will be back in the studio with lots of stories about EMac's Than...

Today we release the long awaited Ernie D interview. The Providence College basketball legend and North Providence, RI native joins us to talk about his basketball journey.

PJ and EMac discuss the 2004, 2007, 2013 and 2018 teams, and pick a roster of the best 25 players from those teams.

This episode focuses 100% on baseball, creating a much needed diversion from the chaos erupting everywhere in the wo...
