The Final Score Podcast - 5.11.22
May 12, 2022 00:12 - 1 hour - 57.7 MBSurprisingly, plenty to cover this pod from RIP AP to the plight of Detroit sports fans, a shoutout to Dickie V and a WTF to a women's basketball coach. A full slate of Around the World with Big Ten football, a candy bracket, Mount Rushmore, hodge podge, and of course, golf. And a typical sprint too boot. What's your go to candy? What about your best college coaching gig ranking?
The Final Score Podcast - 5.3.22
May 04, 2022 00:27 - 53 minutes - 49 MBThe NFL Draft has passed... we're settling into the NBA playoffs, dropping the puck on the NHL playoffs, and already mired in the dog days of MLB. Yawn. None of that is fun to talk about BUT our weekly bracket is, so is our Mount Rushmore, golf talk, draft recap, and now regular NIL rant. Listen. Tag us. Fuel the fire.
The Final Score Podcast - 4.26.22
April 27, 2022 01:56 - 1 hour - 78.7 MBA little podium, a t-up, and the usual sprint but otherwise an homage to the NFL Draft with special guest Riley Fairfield. If you live and breath the draft, you won't want to miss this one.
The Final Score Podcast - 4.19.22
April 20, 2022 01:39 - 59 minutes - 54.2 MBNo MLB, NHL or NBA here... but plenty of Michigan State spring game, PGA Tour talk, Big Ten football, a Spartans basketball podium, an NCAA needs to fix NIL take, an epic bracket of the best cereals. Yep, we've got a lot covered in just under an hour...
The Final Score Podcast - 4.12.22
April 13, 2022 01:10 - 1 hour - 61.2 MBWe're to silly season now. March Madness is done, CFB is not ripe enough to pick yet. NFL Draft is coming up and there is plenty of golf but we had to throw in an NBA Mount Rushmore in honor of the playoffs starting and a brand new weekly bracket contest related to pop culture, food, beer, and maybe some sports. What we thought would be short went over an hour so enjoy!
The Final Score Podcast - 4.5.22
April 06, 2022 01:34 - 51 minutes - 47.3 MBOur one shining moment is up and just like that, college hoops is gone for 187 days. But never fear, we recap the natty, talk MSU assistant coaching candidates, dive headlong into the Masters and spend time on a hodgepodge of stuff. By the way, this year's one shining moment was a bit of a letdown... just sayin'.
The Final Score Podcast - 3.28.22
March 29, 2022 01:59 - 52 minutes - 47.9 MBMarch Madness is winding down, but not before giving us plenty of fodder for the pod. But we dive back into a Mount Rushmore, NFL talk, and back to golf too. Is this the best FF of all time? Is it all about the Duke love fest? What's wrong/why isn't MSU getting further these past few years? We discuss it all...
The Final Score Podcast - 3.22.22
March 23, 2022 01:55 - 58 minutes - 53.9 MBTwo words... March Madness! That sums up the majority of the pod, with a little Lions pre-draft podium from Ryan, a blast of the NCAA and its predictable but disgusting allowance of a biological male to compete in a women's championship, and some small golf talk squeezed in. But this time of year is about one thing and we cover it - from the Big Ten's epic flop to region by region and updated predictions.
The Final Score Podcast - 3.14.22
March 15, 2022 01:54 - 1 hour - 61 MBLet the madness BEGIN! AN epic week -- the best in all of sports -- means a podcast wall to wall with bracket breakdowns, picks, lamentations, etc. Of course a little golf gets chipped in as well (have to celebrate my winning pick from The Players). Need help with your brackets? Take our advice at your own risk!
The Final Score Podcast - 3.8.22
March 09, 2022 02:53 - 1 hour - 57.2 MBOh baby, March Madness is upon us. It's 90% hoops, 10% golf this week what with The Players and all. But join us as we close out the Big Ten regular season, go over our picks from early December, talk top players, POTY, COTY, pick the B1G tourney and more...
The Final Score Podcast - 3.2.22
March 03, 2022 03:29 - 1 hour - 57.2 MBMarch Madness is alive! So apparently is the desire to taunt opposing benches, throw punches in key junctures in games, etc. From Big Ten to NCAA hoops, biggest NBA busts, TFS Bracketology, ask the former player, and golf - we cover a lot of ground this week. Give us an hour - we won't disappoint!
The Final Score Podcast - 2.22.22
February 23, 2022 03:14 - 57 minutes - 52.5 MBWe really need to stop doing these on Tuesday's after Michigan State games! But of course we start this week with the Woody Hayes of the modern era, Mr. angry elf himself - Juwan Howard. After a lengthy stay there it's around the Big Ten, Bracketology, a negative Mount Rushmore, a bit of a spot four hodge podge, a golf segment, and the sprint to the finish. Cake or yeast? You decide.
The Final Score Podcast - 2.15.22
February 16, 2022 03:04 - 58 minutes - 53.7 MBAnother week of the pod features a few angry hosts coming off another hard to take Spartans loss. But don't worry, we cover more than that, from the Super Bowl, to Big Ten basketball, Mount Rushmore to golf, and some of our own bracketology in between. Lock it, download it, listen...
The Final Score Podcast - 2.8.22

The Final Score Podcast - 2.2.22
February 03, 2022 01:52 - 1 hour - 61.2 MBWhat's better than a Groundhog's Day edition of the TFS pod?

The Final Score Podcast - 1.26.22
January 27, 2022 03:53 - 1 hour - 56.8 MBWhere do we start this week? Plenty of opinion on Michigan State hoops, but also a lot of NFL, college basketball, Big Ten hoops, golf, a Mount Rushmore and even Big Ten football... all topped with the typical intriguing sprint.

The Final Score Podcast - 1.11.22
January 12, 2022 03:31 - 1 hour - 59.1 MBSo long college football season, it was another for the ages. Kudos to UGA for unseating Bama at the top. Now we get deep into the best sport around - college hoops. Plenty on the CFP finale, NCAA basketball, another Mount Rushmore, more COVID cancel culture, and NFL playoffs are here.

The Final Score Podcast - 12.28.21

This week we give a little love to the greatest game invented--basketball--love up K9 for all he did for the Michigan State Spartans in 2021, get into hoops and football, recruiting and the portal, and debate whether guys should skip bowl games to prep for the NFL.

The Final Score Podcast - 11.30.21
December 01, 2021 04:05 - 1 hour - 67.4 MBFeast Week was epic, yes even the much anticipated "Match" that wasn't ever close. Big Ten football and basketball abound here, including ranking the hoops coaches worst to first. College football and basketball at large were also incredible last week and the movement already on the coaching carousel not to mention in the portal is popcorn worthy. Close it with a crazy sprint and you've got some good drive time banter to take in.

The Final Score Podcast - 10.13.21
October 14, 2021 00:10 - 56 minutes - 51.3 MBA slightly more somber tone this week--praying for a miracle, Matt--but a wide range from the emotion of Dan Campbell to the idiocy of woke culture, a few penalty flags, some tremendous college football, another solid week in the NFL and the golf experience of the year.
