On today’s show, the convergence of my 3 favorite sports is here, at a time of the year I like to call the sports eclipse. The NFL season is coming off of a fantastic Week 7, with some big time matchups that ended up resulting in a few barnburners, as the Lions upset the previously undefeated Vikings in Minnesota and take over 1st place in the NFC North & the Packers make a statement vs the Texans as they come back late for the W. Plus, Washington, Baltimore and KC keep winning, the Jets keep losing, and Cincinnati finally seems to have righted the ship. And the injuries…Meanwhile, the World Series matchup is set and, while some may call me a hater, regardless of how much MLB loves the big market representatives, I find myself unable to root for either evil empire team. And here we go, as the NBA on TNT tips off another (and their final?) hoops season tonite as we wrap up our season previews out West. So sit back, the NFL season is about to hit the midway point, the NBA season is here, the World Series starts Friday and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .

On today’s show, as we enter Week 6 of the NFL season, our sample size is now large enough to start to draw some solid conclusions. For starters, we can safely say that the NFC North is the best division in football, cumulatively with the most points scored, the fewest allowed, the best overall record, the most wins, fewest losses, and all teams with a positive differential, and the worst teams, the Packers and Bears, are a respectable 3-2. We have to start to take the Vikings seriously, given that they’ve actually beaten some real teams on their way to 5-0, and if the Commanders manage to upset the Ravens, we’ll have start to give them some credit too, and at the same time, we have to accept that preseason Playoff favs like the Eagles, Cowboys, Jets and Bengals may be more flawed than we knew, and to break it all down, we have our first Power Rankings of the season. Plus, the NBA season is just around the corner, so we’re getting ready with our season previews of the Eastern Conference. The Celtics are easily the betting favorites, but if the Knicks get the best version of KAT, if the Sixers stay healthy, and if the Bucks can hold off father time, we could get a new representative out of the East. So sit back, the NFL season is just cruising by as the MLB Playoffs play out and the NBA season approaches and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .

On today’s show, 4 weeks into an NFL season that’s been anything but predictable, it’s time to start to readjusting our expectations. The Vikings have played great D and beat some real contenders to sit at 4-0, the Commanders rookie QB has led them to 3-1 and the top of the NFC East, and the Seahawks are better than expected on both sides of the ball and look like a lock for at least a Wild Card. Meanwhile, an injury to Tua has seemingly transformed the Dolphins from a Playoff team to one of the worst teams in the league, the Rams losing Aaron Donald to retirement then Puka and Kupp to injuries has proven devastating, and the Bengals terrible D is why they’ve struggled, but what excuses do we have for the Jags being 0-4? And are the Cowboys or Eagles really this bad? But first, it’s an NBA offseason blockbuster trade sending KAT to the Knicks and Donte DiVincenzo and Julius Randle to the Wolves. So sit back, the NFL season is just cruising by and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .

On today’s show, things get messy in NFL Week 2 as upsets abound. Most of our top tier Super Bowl contenders, including the Cowboys, the Lions, the Niners and the Ravens all lose to underdogs, but the Bengals had the dubious distinction of losing to the defending champion Chiefs and Mahomes. But the dog show we got early made for perfect viewing, with the unbalanced 10 early/3 late slate, we got to keep up with all of the upsets on RedZone early, then focus on Bengals/Chiefs late. And now the questions start to pop up; what do we make of an 0-2 Ravens squad, or an 0-2 Bengals, or all of the Rams injury woes, or Dallas getting mollywhomped at home? Plus, passing yards and scoring are down, running yardage is up, are we seeing the newest trend in NFL offenses? We’ll look to Week 3 to provide answers. . . So sit back, the NFL season is underway and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .

On today’s show, football is back! NFL scheduling was a thing of beauty, with potential Playoff matchups all over primetime, as we kicked off with as much excitement you could ask for between the Chiefs and Ravens, a solid Packers/Eagles tilt, OT in Detroit between the Lions and Rams, and a dominant performance by the Niners vs the Jets. Then on Sunday, it was RedZone time, as we watched Josh Allen work his magic, the Bears D looking dominant, Anthony Richardson’s tantalizing potential and more! Now granted, the level of play was spotty in some cases, like with the Bengals in particular, but also in the passing game for many QBs and teams not named Baker and the Bucs, but I’ll just chalk it up to early season rust and expect to see more dynamic passing moving forward. And now it’s on to Week 2 . . . So sit back, the NFL season is underway and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .

On today’s show, we had two conferences to cover, so we split it up into two separate parts, with episode 617 covering the South, and now here, as we wrap up our NFL season previews out west. Now we get to our defending conference champions, the favorites yet again, but we’ll take a look at what’s changed from last season and how likely a repeat Super Bowl appearance really is. Plus, there’s What to Watch For, with possible Rams, Seahawks and Charger Playoff runs, Kyler Murray, Jim Harbaugh and more! So sit back, the NFL season is just days away and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .

On today’s show, as our NFL season previews continue the outlooks shift radically as we head down south. Between the North and the East divisions in both conferences, I counted no fewer than 8 teams with a viable chance to get to the Super Bowl, in the Eagles, the Cowboys, the Bills, the Jets, the Lions, the Packers, the Ravens and the Bengals, but as we look to the 8 teams from AFC and NFC South, outside of the Texans, is there anyone who can realistically make that title run? This has to be where the losses come from to offset all the wins we’ve been passing out and all of the overs we’ve predicted. But that’s not to say these divisions won’t be relevant; quite the opposite in fact. There are so many players and storylines to watch for, like maybe getting a full Anthony Richardson season; like whether Trevor Lawrence has another level to his game; like how far will Baker Mayfield take the Bucs; and how much can Bryce Young do on this pretty bad Panthers team to overcome his rough rookie year? So sit back, the NFL season is just days away and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .

On today’s show, it’s time to head to the heartland, as we take a look at what we might expect to see out of the black and blue NFC North and the AFC North. Three legit Super Bowl contenders, a boatload of superstars, and tons of storylines highlight our season previews; we’re talking Caleb Williams and the bandwagon Bears, the Lions, the Ravens, Joe Burrow, and thats just the tip of the iceberg. Week 2 of our 4 part NFL 2024 Season Previews is here, and it is loaded! So sit back, the NFL season is just weeks away and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .

On today’s show, we start to shift gears, going from pretty much just talking basketball since the Chiefs won the Super Bowl, back to football, as the 2024 NFL season just sneaks up on us after an extremely active NBA offseason. Sure, Gaber and I both have lots to say about what we saw in Paris, everything from Steph raining 3’s in the medal rounds and giving the world a Nuit-Nuit to close out France; LeBron leading this team at age 39 and taking home a well earned MVP; KD’s ruthless efficiency and mastery of the international game even tho he rarely plays FIBA rules; and just Team USA in general. And of course, you know we still wanna talk about the what this Warriors’ roster will look like going into next season now that the dealing is pretty much done, and we probably will sometime soon. But to get us ready for Week 1, it’s back to football, as we break down the NFC East and the AFC East, with team rankings, which players to watch for, odds, predictions, and more. So sit back, Team USA brings home the gold as we head into hoops hiatus just in time for football season and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .

On today’s show, even tho the NBA Finals ended more than a month and a half ago, the hoops world hasn’t slowed down at all after the end of the season; it’s just been one event after another. The Draft, trades, Free Agency, then Summer League and Team USA Showcases, and now two weeks of Olympics’ hoops that takes us thru the middle of August and seamlessly merges into football season.Throw in watching some WNBA, some MLB, and other Olympics events, and summer on the sports calendar has been downright packed this year. And as of last night, NFL Preseason is underway and I can hear Week 1 calling, but today, we’re still on hoops, with a review of some new faces in new places, what we saw in Summer League, Team USA and more! So sit back, it’s been an entertaining NBA Offseason leading us right into football season and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .

On today’s show, despite the season being almost two weeks in our rear view, the NBA hasn’t gone anywhere. We’ve had Bridges’ trade to the Knicks, among other deals of varying significance; the Draft, and why YMMV, we’re gonna try to refrain from deciding the career arcs of players who haven’t set foot on an NBA court yet; and now, Free Agency is underway, and while there haven’t been any mega-deals yet, we’re just waiting for the first Domino to fall. So sit back, it’s the NBA Offseason and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .

On today’s show, it’s all about perspective, as we reconcile endings with memories and new beginnings. The sports world lost an all-time icon, as Willie Mays passes away at age 93, but the outpouring of appreciation we saw immediately following the announcement was befitting of the legend he was, both on and off the field. RIP #24, I never saw him play but I was always acutely aware of how great he was, and that’s just how incredible the legacy he left behind was. And we bid farewell to another NBA season, as the Celtics are crowned champs, and we’ll recap what we saw throughout a somewhat lackluster NBA Finals, even as we look ahead to the NBA draft, free agency and Olympic hoops that are gonna help us get thru the offseason. So sit back, it’s Willie Mays love, an NBA Finals wrap up and a little US Open recap, and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .

On today’s show, finally, after what seems like forever, we have an NBA Finals game to look forward to, with the championship series starting tomorrow. After more than a month of at least one NBA game on every single night, two quick Conference Finals series of 4-0 Celtics and 4-1 Mavs left us with the awkward absence of NBA hoops for over a week. But it’s given us time to really marinate on the cutthroat dominance we’ve seen from Luka lately, on Jaylen outshining Jayson to win the series MVP, and how steadily spectacular Kyrie has been, and it let’s us make our predictions with the latest news from Shams on Kristaps Porzingis’ return from injury for Game 1. But what remains to be seen is how good he actually is to go, and how classic a performance Luka might be cooking up, and if Tatum can match him star versus star. Folks, I think we have ourselves a pretty good matchup! So sit back, it’s the NBA, all NBA and nothing but the NBA Playoffs and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .

On today’s show, we’re wrapping up the Conference Semifinals and looking ahead to the round of four, and although ymmv on entertainment value, the sheer volume of games has been fantastic. NBA Playoff basketball has kept hoopheads busy, that’s for sure, with 74 games in 33 nights, and 31 nights straight with at least one game, and Playoff hoops at that. And we still have two rounds to go! Sure it would be great if every game came down to the last possession and every star was Jordenesque every night, but isn’t it enough to watch Ant become an established Playoff superstar, or see Jokic work his magic, or Brunson do the improbable and Luka do the expected while both are hobbled by injuries? And along the way, we saw amazing performances in losing efforts from LeBron, from Shai, from Donovan, from Embiid. The volume of short video highlights you can marvel at on your phone may be light, but there are legit NBA historical storylines playing out right now. Jokic doesn’t get the repeat, that’s the big one right now but there’s plenty more, like, does Tatum get over the hump, will Luka make his first Finals, how far could Brunson carry his team and how far can 22 year old Ant carry his, and what the heck are the Pacers doing here? Fortunately we have another month of hoops to watch it all play out, with up to 14 straight days of games starting tonite! But no matter what, youth will take over, cuz either Tatum, Ant, Haliburton or Luka is winning a title. So sit back, it’s the NBA, all NBA and nothing but the NBA Playoffs and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .

On today’s show, with the NBA Playoffs in full swing it’s all hoops, all the time, and we have a lot to get into with Round 2 underway. But first, it’s a way too late post-mortem on our Golden State Warriors’ season; we’ve been so busy talking about actual Playoff teams that we didn’t get a chance to review the season and look ahead to next year, but rest assured, this will likely be the last Warrior talk til next fall. Then it’s a brief recap of Round 1 before we give our pre-series Round 2 predictions and take a look at what we’ve seen so far from Ant and the Wolves, Jalen and the Knicks and more. So sit back, it’s the NBA, all NBA and nothing but the NBA and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .

On today’s show, we’re checking in on the NBA Playoffs midway thru Round 1 action, and so far, the “old” stars seem on their way out, even as the new generation appears ready to take over. Our guy Steph, now in his mid-30s, is out, sent home before it all even started, while 25 year old SGA is in, as in, likely in the Conference Finals this year with his Thunder, and the franchise looking to be in great shape for years to come. 28 year old Nicola Jokic is in, he’s the pinnacle of the game right now, while as great as he’s played, 39 year old LeBron is likely on his way out, both immediately and more long term. You get the picture; there’s a lot of new blood in title contention this year, with Ant, Brunson, Luka, and other leading the charge. Meanwhile, the NFL Draft is in the books and while we got a few surprises on Day 1, there was plenty that went as predicted. A lot of offense was picked on Day 1, high value positions in a deep draft for OT, WR and QB, as we see the top 6 QBs go in the first 12 picks. My winner was Chicago though, and Bears fans have to be excited to see the Caleb-Rome connection in action this fall. So sit back, the NFL Draft is in the books, the NBA Playoffs are underway, and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .

Meanwhile in the West, the top of the conference is all bunched up and the 1 seed is up for grabs, as is the final Play-In spot as the Warriors try to hold off a red hot Jalen Green and the Rockets, winners of 10 straight.

On today’s show, NFL free agency hit the sports world hard, and while the best players pretty much never hit the open market, there were still some potentially impactful moves. The Steelers are all about 2nd chance QBs, the Texans are building on last year’s success, the Panthers are trying to offer Bryce some more support, the Eagles and Ravens are retooling and the Bears are getting ready for the Caleb Williams era.
