This week we are again lucky enough to speak to Leo Mazzone, as we lost another great in the ranks of baseball history. Talent finds talent and that certainly is the case when Hank found Leo in 1979.

Well, yesterday was quite a whirlwind, what started out as a normal podcast day, ended up being one of the worst and shameful days in American history. As always, we express our opinions  and thoughts on the matter and we even managed to discuss in a little football. Mike and Lydia were able to speak with Greg Hare, former OSU and Fort Hill QB. It was great to talk to someone who has had the exper...

The mics were hot yet again for episode 24! We are keeping our social distance during the holiday season and hope you are too!  We touch on the BIG10 and their hypocrisy, and quickly move on to all of the headline making (for all the wrong reasons) Washington Football Team.   The Steelers need more than a pregame dance to get them to the playoffs, and for the first time ever the Ravens fans might...

It was a snowy day here in the Queen City, podcast hill a formidable force of nature forced Matt and Mike to do our first remote episode. Much like the post office we are determined that nothing can keep us from delivering you a fresh episode each week.

Western Maryland is on fire with a record number of new COVID-19 cases, Wile we like being #1 in athletics this is not a record we would like to keep. Once again the leadership in Annapolis has failed again to take charge with aide to the outpost, and just recently offered free testing reveling how awful our numbers really are.  Not to worry we talk about sports in the episode too, OSU and MD, The...

While this week is filled with uncertainty we are here to provide you with a little bit of comfort... we are thrilled at the turnout to Vote this year even if you had to wait in long lines, cast your ballot by mail, or drop them in an official ballot box. One thing we know for sure that this country is far more divided and we all need to work together to remember we have more similarities than dif...

Baseball has crowned a new champ, and we have several months until pitchers and catchers report for spring training(feb.16)... still that little glimmer makes the painful reality that baseball is over a little easier to swallow.  Something that is not so easy to understand is BIG10 and their decision to start playing. This mostly politically charged decision  has lead to the the inevitable COVID-1...

With the World Series kicking off this week, we begrudgingly congratulate Matt on his correct prediction, with the Dodgers and Tampa. With Mookie Betts playing at his best, the Red Sox might have started another curse 100 years after trading the Big Bambino.  Another Curse... the Big-10 returning this weekend with Maryland taking on a tough season, kicking it off with a game Northwestern. As alway...

It is hard to believe that we have hit 13 episodes, we are very lucky that you continue to listen to us rant and rave about our take on sports local and national. This episode is no exception, we discuss NBA finals, MLB playoffs, and the NFL season. It is with great sadness that each week we seem to do another in memorium to another sports great that has been recruited by the man upstairs. For mor...

We have our first remote guest and boy did we swing for the fences. Leo Mazzone is joining us for a fantastic podcast discussing this crazy 60 game baseball season. How some changes are good, strategy is still king and throwing the heat does not a great pitcher make.  Another local starting his professional career Ty Johnson has moved to the Jets after being released from the Lions.  To say we all...

We cover some ground this week discussing #NFLthetvshow, the Titans contracting COVID-19 and postponing the Steelers game indefinitely, it will be interesting to see how the NFL handles a situation that will surely be arising again. The Ravens laid a nice little egg on Monday night and then we will all be watching the Ravens and the Washington to see how that will all shake out. NBA is currently p...

In this weeks episode, we hit double digits and discuss two great people who left us this past week. RBG was a woman who was all about leveling the playing field and ensuring that equal rights were at the forefront of her trailblazing law career. An avid O's fan RBG made it possible for women have the same opportunities to play sports, buy a car, a house and have credit independent of a man.  Gayl...

We kick off this weeks episode talking about the surprise reversal of Big 10 football in a few weeks. There will be eight games in the regular season.  We have to say we did not see this comings since football will be the only Big 10 sport to have a season.  Switching to the NFL, they have finally decided to embrace social justice issues in a bid to still be relevant and lets face it, help their b...

It's just all part of the show … By Mike Burke "Why do they keep showing this?" That was the most overheard question at the beginning of each #NFLTheTVShow presentation last Sunday afternoon during the reconvening of our weekly – okay, daily -- Tavern Mensa session. It was finally football season again, such as it may or may not end up being, and all the lads in attendance carried an extra giddy-u...

This week, we cover the US open, the latest with the Washington Football Club, and the loss of the great and history making John Thompson.  US open looks and sounds a lot different this year without the wonderful NYC crowd that rallies behind the players for two weeks in the late summer evenings.  NFL: Taking charge of the Daniel Snyder investigation and retained the heavy hitter Beth Wilkinson to...

This weeks episode we talk about the fact that we are far from a functioning society that deserves sport. Washington Football has 25 more sexual misconduct allegations in a great piece in the Washington Post   As teams move toward  boycotts of games in hopes that it will enhance the simple right of respecting of black lives.  We are asking that you make your voice heard this November and VOTE!   I...
