It's all about getting petty while I drink a porter. Matt rants about Lebron vs. Jordan, the Angels running to the MLB to snitch on Philly savior Bryce Harper, Sixers and Flyers losing, and then the beer review.

Getting back on the mic, your beloved host Matt Maratea shares his thoughts on the week that was in sports.

Former junior goalie and great friend Alex Difazio drops by to talk NHL Free Agency. Other topics include random people we didn't know where free agents, and Alex's love for small players. Also he totally didn't wake me from a nap, not at all.

Great friend and mediocre goalie Sean Lion stops by Barside Studios to discuss his biggest personality flaw...his love for the Penguins, as well as various other topics.

First look at my podcasting venture. Ranting on the Flyers, Stanley Cup Finals, NBA Finals, UFC Auckland, and giving my first beer of the week. Like share and subscribe, leave comments, insult me, do whatever just listen and leave notes!
