The Jody Mac Show

Gary joins Jody to preview the Kentucky Derby. 

Craig joins Jody to discuss the Bucks initial boycott that lead to the NBA postponing games until the weekend following the shooting of Jacob Blake and shares his thoughts on the Brewers' season thus far. 

 Earl Thomas is very intense and cares so much about doing well for his team, but we also know he often gets in his own way. As a result of his recent actions (actions that are detrimental to his own team) basically his latest on field incident, he will no longer be a member of the Ravens. This will likely be a nasty split. Will he end up with the Cowboys?

Sam still gets asked to this day about all that took place with Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls of the 1990s. Jerry Krause, the General Manager of the Bulls of the 1990s never got enough credit. The reality is the Nets were so limited roster wise in the Eastern Conference playoffs, no shocker they got swept by the Raptors. The Eastern Conference is not as down as people may think. We are cert...

There are going to be no fans at the Kentucky Derby, we know there are going to be no fans at the Masters. We also obviously know in our major North American Sports there are no fans. There are also weather issues that go to moving these sports to different dates. Events with no fans have been good on television though so for when it comes to basic revenue. Sports are surviving because of TV reven...

Scott Miller of Bleacher Report and SiriusXm MLB Network Radio joins Jody to discuss how MLB is handling players testing positive for the virus, on the legitimacy of this shortened regular season, expectations for the trade deadline, and will MLB adopt the bubble method for the postseason? 

Sigmund Bloom of Footballguys.com joins Jody to discuss on how his job changed since the pandemic, effect of no preseason games, expectations for the Eagles and NFC East, and expanded rosters due to the virus. 

Mark Boyle, play-by-play voice of the Pacers joins Jody to discuss the Pacers' playoff series thus far against the Miami Heat and thoughts on what the Pacers will do during the off-season.

RJ Choppy of Dallas' 105.3 The Fan joins Jody to preview the Cowboys' season, breakdown the Rangers thus far, along with the Mavericks' and Stars' playoff chances. 

Collin Morikawa was great even as an amateur. He is the 23 year old that most, but not all people knew about, who became the winner of the PGA Championship, Golf’s first major of 2020! Coming into the first major he had more wins than cuts. The first major of 2020 in Golf was a huge success! It seems like Collin is playing chess, while others are playing checkers.

Players love shooting in practice gyms and that is what it feels like for a lot of these players shooting inside the Orlando Bubble, With softer rims that is why we see better statlines. Conditioning has been a problem for Zion Williamson. It's going to be tough for college football to emulate the NBA Bubble.

The NHL players absolutely get it when it comes to getting covered by the media. Their ability to brand themselves has improved greatly over the last few years not just on the ice, but off it. The Stanley Cup playoffs have been great so far. In the NHL playoffs like a lot of sports, you only go as far as your stars take you. 

Lead NBA Writer for NBCSports.com says the NBA has done a really nice job in dealing with Covid-19. So many of these guys in the NBA who are playing in the bubble are so used to playing without fans. So many of these guys are comparing this to an AAU tournament

The Former MLB GM The thing to blame for the MLB having so many Covid-19 cases is simply Covid-19. 28 teams have zero positive tests and these players aren’t in a bubble. You have a lot of franchises and players doing the right things. The MLB feels they know the player who spread the Virus for the Marlins  

As a Sports Business Analyst, Rick Horrow knows that football in college sports is going to come into question. Athletes have been signing their names for petitions for more benefits if they put themselves in a position to play to potentially top get Coronivurs, but that won’t ensure that they don’t play

CBS MLB Sports Analyst Matt Snyder believes there is no doubt that baseball has become too chaotic. If there are five teams that have any bit of an outbreak, there is going to be a shutdown of baseball. It has mostly been in the east Divisions. It’s important to note there haven’t been any in the West.  

There is a moderate risk of traveling to Orlando as someone in the media, but it does seem like once you are in the bubble you are pretty safe. The way the NBA has it set up for media is there is not much opportunity for interactions between reporters and the subjects in which they cover because of safety. The only interactions are in press conferences and there is little value in being there comp...

Scott Miller knows that having baseball back is special. Baseball can play a part along with all sports to make people feel better given the times we are in. On its best night, it can give citizens battling health/illness/financial concerns a huge motivation. Baseball can at least offer a couple of hours worth of escape on bad nights.

Mike talks about how Jamal Adams going to the Seahawks was feasible for a while. We know that the Seahawks are not afraid to give away major draft picks. The Seahawks always believe they are going to be competitive and who knows what you are getting in terms of readiness for the NFL from college players given everything that has been going on.

Matt Moore talks about how Lou Williams has certainly made headlines because of what he did in terms of going to a certain club outside of the bubble. It was confirmed by ESPN that the league is investigating Lou Williams. Things like this are pretty problematic.

Pete talks about how the NHL has monitored the interest level of their players and they didn’t rush the process of returning. The NHL clearly has more than one city in which they are playing. It will be extremely difficult to have playoff hockey right off of the bat.

Richard Deitsch of the The Athletic joins Jody to discuss where the Toronto Blue Jays will play this season, sportscasters working remotely, and what ESPN will do with their Monday Night Football broadcast team.
