The Sports Grind

Making the way around the NFL in Hour 2, things start in the Mile High City with the Denver Broncos who narrowly escaped the Windy City with their first win of the season coming against the Chicago Bears. In Los Angeles, Sean McVay coached his Rams to a come-from-behind victory over the Indianapolis Colts. An early surprise of the season, Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are starting to...

Another Ryder Cup in Europe and another loss for Team USA as their rally came up short, extending the losing streak as the visitors. In boxing, Canelo Alvarez and Jermell Charlo met in the ring for Alvarez’s belts but he defended them in an absolute clinic. The pieces from the Damian Lillard trade continued to settle over the weekend, highlighted by the Boston Celtics acquiring Jrue Holiday. Both...

The games on the slate for college football aren’t as great this weekend as last week, but there are still some key matchups to watch. #3 Texas against #24 Kansas is one of the major headliners, as is #8 USC against Colorado. The guys look at the key series in MLB as the final weekend of the regular season is here. To close out the week, Calvin has another edition of The Foundation Picks. Music pr...

There are some good games across the NFL this weekend and then there’s the “DooDoo Bowl” between the Denver Broncos and the Chicago Bears. Neither team will have much to hang their hat on for winning the game, but the loser might as well start the fire sale - in Calvin’s opinion. Music provided by Fox Sports 1380 El Paso

This weekend is a big one in the sports world, but golf got a head start today with the first action of the 2023 Ryder Cup. The United States is trying to end a 30-year drought in Europe, but the “home team” has already taken a significant lead. In a little pop culture news, an arrest was made in the murder of Tupac Shakur, just nearly 30 years late, but better late than never. Picking back up wit...

This weekend’s slate of college football isn’t as stacked as last week, but the game between #11 Notre Dame and #17 Duke should be getting more buzz than it is. With the baseball season winding down, some teams are already coasting. On Monday, San Diego Padres pitcher Josh Hader refused to take the mound with his team still in playoff contention. If this was the NBA or NFL everyone would be talkin...

There’s a super match in boxing this weekend as Saul “Canelo” Alvarez makes his return to the ring in a contest against Jermell Charlo. Calvin’s watching, but he wants to know - Who needs it more?

As comments come in around the Damian Lillard trade, the question of Dame’s immediate impact on the team’s future comes up. In Ohio, a high school football coach has resigned for using the term “Nazi” in his audible terminology. Michigan State University has announced that Mel Tucker has officially been fired “with cause” as the team’s football coach, releasing the school from the $80 million left...

Zach Wilson hasn’t been great for the New York Jets since Aaron Rodgers went down opening weekend in the NFL. He really hasn’t even been good. The criticism is heating up, and Colin Kaepernick and Aaron Rodgers are each hopping on the news cycle. Aaron’s old receiver Davante Adams is off to a somewhat slow start with the Las Vegas Raiders. Could the team trade him before the Halloween deadline? Mu...

The Docket was all drawn up, but breaking news in the NBA right before the show changed things up. Finally, the Damian Lillard saga is over, and the Milwaukee Bucks have acquired his services in a three-team trade. The organization heard Giannis Antetokounmpo loud and clear, but is this enough to keep him happy?    Music provided by Fox Sports 1380 El Paso

Caught up in the college football weekend, Alabama was able to get a win with Jalen Milroe back under center. While the victory stops the panic, there are still serious concerns about the 2023 edition of the team. Staying with college, Oregon released a recap video of their win over Colorado on their social media channels, featuring some big talk from the Buffaloes that is getting attention. Is “N...

Have you heard? Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are dating. Now that they’ve gone official, Calvin notes that Kelce’s subtle changes in behavior and appearance are starting to make more sense. The 70-20 beatdown of the Denver Broncos by the Miami Dolphins on Sunday still stings, and Sean Payton has delivered a message to his team. Music provided by Fox Sports 1380 El Paso

After setting up The Docket and hitting some smaller notes, the show gets in gear with the announcement this weekend that Usher will be the halftime performer at Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. Getting back to the action on the field, last night’s doubleheader saw the Cincinnati Bengals and Joe Burrow finally get a win this season while Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles stayed perfect despite...

Location. Location. Location. That’s what’s helping (and hurting) the Tennessee Titans who benefit by not being in a major market like New York, LA, or Chicago where other mediocre teams are being held accountable. Getting into college football, Oregon’s “upset” of Colorado divided the nation while Ohio State’s walk-off win over Notre Dame was pure entertainment. Music provided by Fox Sports 1380...

As the autopsy on the Denver Broncos continues, Calvin is looking for a suspect to be held accountable. The fact that there’s more than one suspect is concerning. In the rest of the NFL weekend, the Indianapolis Colts upset the Baltimore Ravens, the Pittsburgh Steelers handled the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Cleveland Browns owned the clash with the Tennessee Titans. Music provided by Fox Sports 13...

What. A. Weekend. From lopsided NFL scores to upsets across the college scene, it was entertaining. Fresh off of Sunday, the buzz is still about the Dallas Cowboys’ collapse against the Arizona Cardinals and the 50-point beatdown that the Miami Dolphins put on the Denver Broncos, scoring 10 touchdowns.    Music provided by Fox Sports 1380 El Paso

In the final hour of the week, the guys run through the key games of Week 3 in the NFL and Calvin gives another edition of The Foundation Picks. Music provided by Fox Sports 1380 El Paso

Last night, the NFL week got started and the San Francisco 49ers became the first team to 3-0 this season.

Diving into the games this weekend, there are serious concerns for the Denver Broncos defense against the Miami Dolphins, and coordinator Vance Joseph isn’t easing any w...

Now that we’ve mostly gotten the non-conference college schedule football games out of the way, the weekend slate of action is getting HOT. With a number of key ranked contests featuring Colorado, Notre Dame, and Florida State this Saturday, Calvin is excited.    Music provided by Fox Sports 1380 El Paso

Russell Wilson and Sean Payton exchanged comments in the media this week regarding the speed of the playcalling. Wilson readdressed his words to clarify. Travis Kelce is reportedly dating music star Taylor Swift as the Kansas City Chiefs (1-1) continue to make more noise off the field amidst their slow start. A sad story from the world of poker where Rob Mercer scammed people on GoFundMe, stealing...

Coming down the final stretch of the MLB season, the Los Angeles Angels aren't contending for a playoff spot, but find themselves at the center of attention due to Shohei Othani's pending free agency. Already done with his surgery, the two-way star is planning to hit in 2024 and return to the mound in 2025. How does that timeline impact his next contract? Week 3 in the NFL starts tonight w...

Colorado stole the weekend when they rallied to defeat Colorado State. Coach Prime had a lot to address when he met with the media this week, first addressing his team’s upcoming contest with Oregon. Three-touchdown underdogs, Sanders noted that his team has yet to play a complete game at all three phases. He also was also very clear when speaking about the severity of the death threats aimed at t...

Rex Ryan was interviewed to be the defensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos this offseason. With Sean Payton’s defense now struggling through two weeks and preparing to face the Miami Dolphins, Ryan trolled the Broncos’ unit in the media. In a sad story from the weekend, an incident from the Patriots-Dolphins game took a downturn when reports came out that one of the men involved in a supposed...
