MLB has a problem beyond the diamond, and if you don't think its the umps... you need to go back to Montana... Nascar heads into the future with its next generation of racing... boy is it nice!!!

On today's we ask what team or teams make their respective leagues better or more worthy of viewership when said team(s) are relevant? In just about every other major sport, or at least those I can think of, at some point folks claimed there would never be another then all of a sudden bam, here comes the next guy. Well, there actually may be a case for one dude being able to boast such a claim as being truly one of a kind...

From the moment Texans QB DeShaun Watson was accused of certain wrong doings explicit in nature, we questioned the validity and timing of the accusations hurled his way. In a recent statement put out by Watson's attorney, seems as though the skepticism was not unwarranted. Pick any sport's Hall Of Fame, I guarantee there will be some snubs worthy of conversation/debate til the end of time, but the list I've come across for the NFL may very well be the most glaring of them all...

The NFL decides a 17-game schedule is what's best for bidness, but nobody seems to give a darn whether or not it's what's best for the players. The Padres have 'loaded up' on talent, but will it be enough to pull off the ultimate prize that is the World Series? Manny Pacquiao and Terrence Crawford are allegedly s'posed to duke it out this upcoming June, but the question remains on whether or not folks are as interested in seeing this clash as they had in the past? The Baylor Bears opened up a can on the Gonzaga Bulldogs that I personally didn't see coming. Was the lopsided victory sparked by 'bulletin board' material? Inquiring minds do indeed wanna know... In the land of college football, is Mel Tucker and Michigan State primed to be top dawg in the Michigan rilvary?

We got why MLB pulls the All-Star game due to "voting restriction" measures related to Georgia, and this year's March Madness was all that and then some!

With so much action that went down during the NBA Trade deadline, has the league lost its intrigue? Going by what the Lakers and Nets did, intrigue lost is the least of their worries... Hue Jackson has come out publicly with some choice words about his former employer, the Cleveland Browns, that could spell trouble for someone; question is, who is that someone?

What feels like many moons ago when reportedly there were less than 50 cases of the COVID-19 virus, we brought Dr. Jamil Smith on to discuss what steps people could take to best prevent contracting the virus, and the importance of the body's role in said prevention. Fast forward to March 8, 2021 and we're still very much in the grip of a disease reminiscent of "Sherman's March", so we asked Dr. Jamil back to the show to help explain what measures will help with a more speedy recovery for those who've tested positive, or knows someone dealing with symptoms...

The NBA is said to have 'Player Empowerment' on lock due primarily due to guaranteed contracts, but are we startin to see a paradigm shift of sorts in the NFL, in particular to the QB position? While I respect his take on most things sports related, Paul Finebaum swung and missed badly with his comments about Deion Sanders using Jackson State as a 'stepping stool'... All this so called 'hoop talk' lately bout players not from this ERA being "plumbers", we decided to spotlight my dude Doctor J and what he did at the infamous Rucker Park that won't ever be quantified by mere statistics, and Mos Def disqualifies him as a plumber! Y'all act like REAL COMP didn't exist til 2003...

Niners' do it all TE George Kittle speaks to Head Coach Mike Shanahan's greatness as a play-caller amongst other things. I've heard people say some straight-up bassackward stuff when it comes to sports debate, but nothing like what I've read in the thread of a Facebook group I'm in (Elite Sports Debate), who went so far as to put these absurd takes in a category called "Hall Of Shame"...

At the time this episode was recorded Tom Brady had not won Super Bowl 55 with his new squad, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Even while still a member of the Patriots, the question has been constant as to whether or not Brady is the GOAT. An unrealistic concept in my opinion, but a conversation that's here to stay. Now that TB12 has indeed won a ship outside the confines of Bill Belichick, is it time to not only revisit the GOAT narrative, but label him as TBE QB if not player?

From the casual NFL fan to the most seasoned, who by now, hasn't heard of the goings on down in Texas; Houston to be exact, in regards to DeShaun Watson and his asking to be traded. Let Brett Favre and Dick Vermeil tell it, Watson needs to be quiet and just do what's asked because the Texans are paying him a ton of cash, or just stop whining, as Richard so eloquently put it, even though in the case of Carson Wentz, who demanded a trade like Watson, he claims is the victim of not having enough talent around him. Did SB 55 live up to the hype? Are the refs' to blame for the Chiefs being ineffecient? Is Tom Brady the best QB ever, or all around football player? Did you know the NFL has a HOF section for fans in Canton?

MLB has been mired in its fair share of muck as of late, but naming Ken Griffey Jr as senior advisor to the commisioner could very well not only bring baseball back to the forefront as 'America's Past Time', but also bring the credibility it lost along the way. Although we somewhat discussed LaMelo Ball on last week's show, this time it's more about him rather than whether or not Jordan got it right by selecting him 3rd overall in the 2020 NBA Draft... should be a good one!!!

With the as usual 'questionable call' that IS the NFL, we take a look back at both the NFC/AFC championship games as well as SB 55 and the possible storylines soon to follow. The Hornets Ted Stepien like draft selections over the years have been well documented, but did Jordan finally get it right with the selection of LaMelo Ball? The Big Red Machine will no doubt go down as one of MLB's finest squads to ever grace the field; were the 1998-1999 Bronx Bombers arguably better?

The debate about which NFL Receiver has the 'best hands' is forever ongoing, but today we wanna know who hands were better, Larry Fitzgerald or Chris Carter? Did the Browns lose to the Chiefs in their Divisional Round matchup because the refs missed the helmet to helmet call, or was it a case of not being the Browns time yet? Would the outcome in the Rams and Packers been different if not for the injury to Goff's thumb? We discuss this and more in our 'Divisional Round' Recap plus who will come out on top in the Championship matchups as well. When it comes to fandom, at what point does REALITY deserve an invite?

With week 17 of the NFL season in the books, we now turn our attention to the NFL's version of the 'round robin' set to begin this Saturday and Sunday. Do the winners or losers get to put an asterisk next to the outcome given the rash of COVID cases that seems to have derailed more than its fair share of franchises this season? Wild Card can get all the way through to the big dance? What do you expect to win but would be surprised if they didn't? You've just been selected to be manager of a fighter and get to choose between Carlos Monxon or Marvin Hagler; dare to make that pick? we'll see...

In our 'Question of the Day' portion of the p-ro-gram we ask: how do you grade today's NBA "Draft Prpospects" in this current ERA of positionless basketball? Do you hate finding yourself faced with a conundrum? Welp, this week's 'Take ya Pick' is just that!!! Joe Morgan or Eddie Collins? Although the 2021 NBA season is just now getting underway, we take a look at a few early season surprises...

Things are starting to heat up in the push for a spot in this year's NFL Playoffs, and we'll not only take a look at all the potential qualifiers, but will the picture remain as it stands currently or will somebody get in that we otherwise didn't suspect? If 'Any given Sunday' is indeed true, which teams are a lock, and which are not? So come along for the ride as we dive into each team's dossier of sorts, and the outlook heading into the sportsworld's #1 round-robin tournament!!!

Now that we're more than 2/3rd's in to the current NFL season, don't look now, but the Cleveland Browns are 8-3 with a showdown next week in Tennesse against the Titans, with playoff implications in abundance! Are the Browns for real, or should we all be waiting for the proverbial "other shoe to drop?" A Ravens staffer tests positive for COVID and knowingly goes into the facility; can you say bassackward? I can.. Why do Belichick's former coordinators keep failing as NFL head coaches? We answer these questions and more, on today's episode...

Today we discuss MLS using PPG (points per game), to determine 'playoff seeding', and ask the question of whether or not the other majors (NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB) will at some point use the same concept in their respective playoff formats. We also dive into why former ESPN host Bob Ley put the network on blast for this most recent round of layoffs... Last but not least, a 'Did You Know' that's sure to be surprising to many as it was to me...
