In the words of future Hall of Fame Coach Mike Tomlin "We are gonna unleash hell in December" starting with this episode. As the season in college and the NFL winds down to bowl season, college footballs playoffs and of course the NFL playoffs we take a dive into who the "real ones" and frauds potentially are. Make no mistake about, we dot our I's and cross our T's and don't hold back on the facts...

Looking at pertinent questions after two weeks may sound crazy to you but not to us. So many things that are puzzling already about the 2023 NFL season and oh! by the way we don't miss Tom Brady one bit.

On this episode of the OSP with MM and Barbershop guys we are talking ALL Football. Tackling a bit of the start to the NCAA season then we get into individual awards and team predictions.

Terry "T-sizzle" Young : Instagra...

On this episode of the OSP with MM and the BSC we tackle...nothing! Not a damn thing. Women's World Cup failures, The Power 4 in NCAA sports, Preseason Studs and Duds, By team ranking the AFC West and South by position and then the chaos of a fantasy football, offense only draft. My head will be spinning from this mess for a long time but it's definitely entertainment for all to enjoy, I think :)...

As we all very well know it is that time of year that many, myself included love immensely. FOOTBALL SEASON. WE have the entire gang back together at our local favorite Rockwell Brewery to talk College, Pro and some High School football. We would be remiss if we didn't address the Hall of Fame and we breakdown by position the AFC East and how we think they rank out.  It's the most wonderful time o...

Just a short jaunt up the road from Frederick Maryland you can visit Latrobe Pennsylvania. It was world renowned for years as the home of the Rolling Rock brewing and bottling location but they were sold so only one other thing has maintained it's consistency and thats the Pittsburgh Steelers summer camp which takes place each year (well, except for the covid year) since 1966. We make the yearly p...

As much as we wanted to do this show on a site, the weather man, it hurt our plan. So we flipped to plan "B",the 4th of July Fireworks and Beers show.

Come join us on the adventure!!!  Terry "T-sizzle" Young : Instagram and Twitter @1youngterry Michael "Coa...

On this episode Michael Neubeiser and I talk deep into being a high school athlete from rising through the youth program to recruiting it is a daunting task.  It's not easy to develop young people today with so many distractions and barriers.

It's amazing all the build up! All the mock drafts that begin a year in advance and to be quite honest, it's rare anyone hits on 5 picks let alone the entire "round 1 mock". We are going to tear this thing to shreds and look at what clowns like Kiper and McShay thought they knew more than the actual war rooms where picks were made. Who is gonna hit on their picks, who was a favorite, who helped th...
