#228: Election 2020 (and a bit of football) with GOP strategist Matt Mackowiak

September 03, 2020 13:37 - 56 minutes - 105 MB

1. Last week, the sports world briefly hit the pause button in wake of the Jacob Blake shooting, starting with the NBA. As a result, it was announced that all NBA clubs intend to use their arenas as voting locations for the general election, whether it be for voter registration drives, in-person early voting, and/or having county officials there to collect completed absentee ballots. Given all the issues and red tape with voting by mail (not just USPS), isn’t voting in person at a sports are...

#227: 2020 NFL Training Camp Storylines (with Matt Barr)

August 17, 2020 03:19 - 1 hour - 148 MB

1. What we have seen with Major League Baseball (with the COVID-19 outbreaks within the Marlins and Cardinals causing games to be postponed) thus far is likely a preview of what to expect in the NFL this season. Peter King a few weeks ago wrote he is convinced that at some point the league will likely have to suspend play like the NBA did in March when the pandemic first hit. However, Richard Sherman countered that he only sees that happening if things get REALLY REALLY bad. Under what circu...

#226: 2020 Dash To The Draft (Last Minute Buzz & Mock Draft II with Matt Barr)

April 21, 2020 05:18 - 52 minutes - 97.4 MB

A. Latest Buzz (Buy Or Sell) -Chris Mortensen said today of all the teams that are being discussed as strong candidates to trade up, the Falcons are expected to be the most aggressive and could move up all the way to the top five. So buy or sell: the Falcons will trade up to the top five and take Jeffrey Okudah if the Lions pass on him at 3, or move down to 6.  -The run on WR’s will begin earlier than most expect with two WR-needy teams trading up to the 8-10 range to get their guy -If...

#225: Dash To The Draft 2020 (DL/EDGE Class Breakdown with Jacob Infante)

April 17, 2020 00:31 - 47 minutes - 87 MB

1. Chase Young is clearly the best prospect in this draft class. This past decade, we have seen pass rushers of Young’s ilk get drafted high and go on to have productive careers: Von Miller, Khalil Mack, Joey and Nick Bosa, Myles Garrett, etc. How does he compare to those aforementioned players as a prospect and would it surprise you if he ended up having the best career out of all of them? 2. There is quite a sizeable drop-off after Young as far as this EDGE class goes. The player widely e...

#224: Dash To The Draft 2020 (Mock Draft I with Myles Gorham)

April 17, 2020 00:23 - 1 hour - 143 MB

1. CIN: Joe Burrow 2. WAS: Chase Young 3. LAC (via DET): Tua Tagovailoa 4. NYG: Isaiah Simmons 5. MIA: Justin Herbert 6. DET (via LAC): Jeffrey Okudah 7. CAR: Andrew Thomas 8. AZ: Tristan Wirfs 9. DEN (via JAX): Henry Ruggs 10. CLE: Mekhi Becton 11. NYJ: Jedrick Wills 12. LVR: CeeDee Lamb 13. SF: Jerry Jeudy 14. TB: Javon Kinlaw 15. JAX (via DEN): Derrick Brown 16. ATL: K’Lavon Chaisson 17. DAL: Xavier McKinney 18. MIA: Justin Jefferson 19. LVR: C.J. Henderson 20. JAX: Kri...

#223: Dash To The Draft 2020 (Wide Receiver Class Breakdown with Marcus Mosher)

April 05, 2020 00:40 - 27 minutes - 51.2 MB

1. As of right now, you have CeeDee Lamb as your top receiver. Why is that? 2. There has been buzz building for quite a while now that Henry Ruggs will be the first receiver off the board on April 23. And it makes a ton of sense since Ruggs appears to be the new WR archetype NFL teams prefer after witnessing the success of similarly skilled players like Tyreek Hill and their ability to dictate coverages, which gives defensive coordinators headaches. However, you have another speedster, TCU’...

#222: Dash To The Draft 2020 (Quarterback Class Breakdown with Mark Schofield)

April 03, 2020 01:02 - 34 minutes - 63.9 MB

1. While there has been smoke to suggest otherwise, most all signs still point to the Bengals making Joe Burrow being the first overall pick in the draft. Some believe him to be the best QB prospect since Andrew Luck. Regardless of whether or not you share that view, what makes Burrow such a special prospect? 2. Health aside, the main concern some people have about Tua Tagovailoa is that he was more of the product of the weapons around him and not the other way around. Why or why not is tha...

#221: Dash To The Draft 2020 (Latest Insider Buzz with Connor Rogers)

March 31, 2020 01:58 - 22 minutes - 41.2 MB

1. Last night, Adam Schefter and Dianna Russini reported that despite a unamious recommendation from GM’s to delay the draft due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the NFL held firm in its plans to hold the draft April 23-25 as originally scheduled. One of the main concerns GM’s had was the disadvantage of some teams in areas that are currently hotbeds for Covid-19 (i.e.: NY/NJ area) having to draft from home with others still being able to use their team facilities. That said, the league is also ...

#220: 2020 NFL Free Agency Recap with Matt Barr

March 25, 2020 01:00 - 43 minutes - 80.9 MB

1. Amidst an atmosphere of economic uncertainty for the NFL and the country in general due to Covid-19, NFL owners and 51% of dues-paying players breathed a sigh of relief a little over a week ago as the NFLPA ratified the new CBA, albeit by a very narrow 60-vote margin. Matt and I are ardent critics of this deal, but now that it’s done, what does the NFLPA have to do next? 2. The New League Year began with a flurry of trades beginning with the Houston Texans trading DeAndre Hopkins and a 2...

#219: Dash To The Draft 2020 (Offensive Line Class Breakdown with Nick Kendell of Mile High Huddle)

March 21, 2020 01:16 - 38 minutes - 71.1 MB

1. Tristan Wirfs is an EXTREMELY athletic, versatile lineman from Iowa, which is arguably college football’s main offensive line factory for the NFL. He has experience at both left and right tackle, and many also believe he has the skill-set to be a good guard as well. Also, he delivered an historic performance in the vertical jump and broad jump. In your view (and your Hawkeye bias aside), what makes Tristan Wirfs the best OL prospect in this draft class? 2. The other prospect neck-and-nec...

#218: Latest NFL News and Notes with Hal Bent (CBA, Combine, Tom Brady, Free Agency, etc.)

March 09, 2020 04:06 - 1 hour - 124 MB

1. Yesterday morning, lawyers from the NFL and NFLPA completed the 456-page document of the proposed CBA, and shortly thereafter, the full populace of players began a week-long vote on the proposal. The deal, if ratified, will bring uninterrupted labor peace all the way through the 2030 season, expand the regular season from 16 to 17 games by as early as 2021, expand the playoff picture from 12-14 teams, raise minimum salaries, and strip Roger Goodell of most of the disciplinary powers that ...

#217: 2020 Denver Broncos Offseason Plans (with Joe Rowles of Mile High Report)

March 07, 2020 02:20 - 39 minutes - 72.8 MB

1. Yesterday, the Broncos traded the 4th-round pick they acquired from the 49ers in the Emmanuel Sanders trade to the Jaguars for CB A.J. Bouye. It was a move that makes sense on the surface given that Bouye likely would’ve commanded a higher salary if he was released plus the fact Chris Harris, Jr. is likely headed elsewhere in free agency. What are your thoughts on this trade and based on what you’ve seen on film so far, how much does Bouye bring to the Broncos secondary?  2. Of all the B...

#216: 2020 Chicago Bears Offseason Plans (with Jacob Infante of Windy City Gridiron)

February 28, 2020 04:46 - 44 minutes - 82 MB

1. Earlier this week, Benjamin Allbright (Pro Football Network) reported that the Bears are looking at veteran QB options. While Trubisky is still going to get a shot to prove he’s the guy, his leash will be VERY short like Marcus Mariota’s was last season. He also noted that if the Raiders were to trade or release Derek Carr ($21.5M cap hit, $7.9M in dead money), they’d be interested. And another name he mentioned that the Bears are discussing is Andy Dalton. The Bears salary cap issues asi...

#215: CBA Update and 2020 QB Carousel Preview with Matt Barr

February 21, 2020 03:38 - 43 minutes - 80.3 MB

1. Today, the NFL owners approved the terms of a potential new Collective Bargaining Agreement and the NFLPA will discuss those terms and perhaps vote on a conference call tomorrow. The terms of the deal include the expansion of the regular season from 16 games to 17 games (along with reducing the preseason by one game) and the expansion of the playoffs from 12 teams to 14 teams (seven per conference). As bargaining chips, the owners have increased the player’s share of revenue from 47% to 4...

#214: Dash To The Draft 2020 (Pre-Combine Special with Fran Duffy of PhiladelphiaEagles.com)

February 19, 2020 01:37 - 31 minutes - 58.5 MB

1. CeeDee Lamb is usually mentioned in the same breath as Jerry Jeudy as a serious candidate to be the first WR taken off the board. However, the expectation is that Lamb will run in the 4.5s in the 40 yard dash. While I constantly, passionately stress that 40 time isn’t the end all, be all for WR’s, the NFL has a history of letting uber-talented receivers who post such a result slide much farther than they should. A notable recent example of that is Michael Thomas, who is now arguably the b...

#213: Dash To The Draft 2020 (Interview with 2015-16 University of Alabama National Champion Nick Gauna)

February 06, 2020 03:20 - 19 minutes - 36.5 MB

#212: Super Bowl LIV Preview with Hal Bent

February 01, 2020 01:02 - 1 hour - 121 MB

1. Initial thoughts on Super Bowl LIV Me:  -Opposite styles attract!    Hal: Both teams have good offensive lines, especially at OT…and good DL too 2. Truth/Exaggeration -The 49ers ground game will be even more difficult for the Chiefs to stop than that of the Titans -The Chiefs wide receivers against the Niners DB’s is the biggest mismatch in favor of the Chiefs -Jimmy Garoppolo will have to throw for at least 250+ yards and 2 TD’s for the Niners to win -The Chiefs will have to al...

January 31, 2020 04:00 - 1 minute - 4.54 MB

Ohio State WR KJ Hill was another player who made himself some money at the 2020 Reese's Senior Bowl. I caught up with him after the final day of practice and he talked about why Brian Hartline, his position coach in college, is such a masterful teacher, discussed the strengths of his game aside from his superb route running skills, the advice his former Buckeye teammate and current star Redskins WR Terry McLaurin is giving him as he goes through the draft process...and more!!!

January 31, 2020 03:47 - 2 minutes - 6.17 MB

He talks about growing up in Chicago's impoverished Englewood neighborhood and the inspiration he takes from NBA star Derrick Rose (who also grew up in Englewood). We also discussed the parts of his game he felt he improved during the week in Mobile, his favorite NFL wide...

#208: 2020 Reese's Senior Bowl (Terrell Burgess, DB Utah)

January 31, 2020 03:41 - 1 minute - 3.78 MB

Baylor WR Denzel Mims was another big standout at the 2020 Reese's Senior Bowl. I spoke to him after the second day of practice, and he discussed why his track background helps him play the wide receiver position, why his coach at Baylor, Matt Rhule (now the head coach of the Panthers) will be successful in the NFL, what makes him admire Saints All Pro WR Michael Thomas so much...and MORE!!!!!

#206: 2020 Reese's Senior Bowl (Davon Hamilton, DT Ohio State)

January 31, 2020 03:30 - 1 minute - 4.08 MB

Ohio State is a defensive line factory for the NFL and an underrated DL prospect in the 2020 NFL Draft is Davon Hamilton. I talked to him after practice at the 2020 Reese's Senior Bowl and we talked about what makes Buckeyes DL coach Larry Johnson such an effective teacher, what advice he's seeking from former Buckeye DL-mates Nick Bosa (2019 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year!) and Dre'Mont Jones...and MORE!!!

January 31, 2020 03:23 - 2 minutes - 5.24 MB

Freakish, athletic Alabama edge rusher Terrell Lewis is one of the more intriguing prospects in the 2020 NFL Draft. I spoke to him after one of the 2020 Reese's Senior Bowl practices, and we discussed what makes his game so unique, what it was like playing for such a legendary head coach like Nick Saban, the latest on his college teammate and friend Tua Tagovailoa...and MORE!!!!

January 31, 2020 03:18 - 1 minute - 3.96 MB

January 31, 2020 03:14 - 2 minutes - 3.36 MB

Houston OT Josh Jones was one of the star performers at the 2020 Reese's Senior Bowl, and he could very well end up a first-round pick as a result. In this interview, he describes his game, why going up against fellow Houston Cougar and current Buffalo Bill Ed Oliver (the 9th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft) in practice helped make him a better player, why he would be an asset to an NFL club on and off the field and more!!!

January 31, 2020 03:03 - 1 minute - 2.17 MB

In this deep and insanely talented 2020 WR draft class, Devin Duvernay is arguably one of the best possible options on Day 2. I spoke with him at the 2020 Reese's Senior Bowl and he talked about why he's much more than a "deep threat", who he credits for his 106 reception season in 2019 and more!!!!

#200: 2020 Reese's Senior Bowl (Antonio Gibson, RB/WR Memphis)

January 31, 2020 03:00 - 1 minute - 2.19 MB

#189: NFL 2019 Conference Championship Preview with Matt Barr

1. Wild Card Weekend Takeaways Me: The Kirk Cousins hate must stop NOW Hal: Redemption for Deshaun Watson and Kirk Cousins and emergence of the new guard (Titans) 2. Truth/Exaggeration  -The NFL should modify its OT rules allowing each team to possess the ball in OT REGARDLESS of what happens on the first possession -The NFL must adjust the Rooney Rule by putting in a requirement that teams MUST interview at least one minority HC candidate from OUTSIDE your organization that has never p...

#186: NFL 2019 Week 17 Preview with Hal Bent

December 28, 2019 05:46 - 1 hour - 119 MB

1. Week 16 Takeaways Me: The five best teams in the NFL right now imo are the Ravens, 49ers, Chiefs, Saints and Patriots. Yet, there is a very good chance that three of those teams will have to be playing on Wild Card Weekend as opposed to watching it in the comfort of their living rooms. This tells me there is also a stronger-than-usual chance that we will see multiple road teams prevail in the Divisional Round, and perhaps the Conference Championships too. Hal: Bills are a team NOBODY wa...

#184: NFL 2019 Week 15 Preview with Matt Barr

December 12, 2019 22:02 - 54 minutes - 101 MB

1. Week 14 Takeaways Me:  -It is the gravest injustice in the history of the NFL that a 12-win team (49ers or Seahawks) will have to go on the road for a playoff game against a 7-8 wins team (Eagles or Cowboys). And even worse? The NFL hasn’t even considered reforming their flawed playoff seeding system, which allows a division winner a home game!!   Matt: Niners with a statement 2. Truth/Exaggeration  -The New England Patriots should be docked another first-round draft pick for being c...

#183: Dash To The Draft 2020 Part I (Latest NFL Draft news and analysis with Connor Rogers)

December 11, 2019 04:30 - 21 minutes - 40.3 MB

1. What is the latest you’re hearing on Tua Tagovailoa’s decision? 2. If Tua’s med checks don’t come back clean, how high can you see Oregon’s Justin Herbert being taken in round one? Do you think he will attend the Senior Bowl at the moment? 3. If you thought the 2014 WR class was epic, this exceptionally talented and deep 2020 WR class has the potential to be the best in NFL history. When you look at the very top of the WR board, you can make a case for either Jerry Jeudy or CeeDee Lamb ...

#181: NFL 2019 Week 13 Preview with Matt Barr

November 27, 2019 15:55 - 58 minutes - 108 MB

1. Week 12 Takeaways Me:  -The Los Angeles Rams are in trouble. BIG trouble. Their $112 million “franchise” QB Jared Goff has been exposed as a QB who is only as good as his offensive line is, as evidenced by the decline of that unit and his 0 TD/5 INT, 4 fumble, 58.9 passer rating month of November. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. WHY? First, they’re going to be hamstrung by the salary cap next season. According to OverTheCap.com, they will have over $95 million tied up into four ...
