The Squad has hit Episode 100!!! The hosts celebrate Grandpa J's birthday and discuss various topics.
What’s on Mike’s Mind brings us the story of a tragic boxing match between Sugar Ray Robinson and Jimmy Doyle.
Grandpa J narrowly hit the mark last week, so he shares his Locks of the Week for NBA games this weekend. Let us know how he did!
Jon is in total agreement with Jay Bilas on the idea of expanding the field for the NCAA tournament, and wanted to give his plea to leave it alone.
The conversation explores the topic of fighting in sports, specifically in the NBA. The participants discuss whether players should be suspended for fighting and the consequences of such actions. They also examine the changing mentality and encouraged behavior in the NBA, as well as the desire for more physicality in games. The conversation delves into the balance between passion and punishment.
TreyDay shouted out LeBron James and LaVar Ball for what they’ve done for their sons, as well as telling people to stop criticizing them.
The Squad touches on College Basketball, with a topic that revolves around the NCAA tournament and what teams need to do to secure a spot. The discussion covers strategies for smaller conference teams, the importance of recent performance, and the evaluation of team resumes. The panel also discusses the value of wins and losses, the subjectivity of the selection committee, and the sympathy for bubble teams.
Mike is very frustrated with recent comments from NHL commissioner Gary Bettman in regards to Winnipeg Jets fans who are upset at the thought of losing their team…again.
The guys also dicussed the challenges faced by Major League Soccer (MLS) in promoting the sport and attracting top players like Lionel Messi. The language barrier, Messi's low profile in Miami, and the competition from other sports are identified as key factors. The potential impact of hosting the World Cup in North America is discussed, along with the need for effective marketing and player signings. The importance of choosing sports cities and utilizing translators to sell the sport's personality is emphasized.
Grandpa took it to the pool once again to point out a dumb rule in collegiate swimming that recently cost one ACC standout a race he fairly won!
The Squad also introduced a special game for Episode 100, seeing if they could name various players who wore different jersey numbers. See how they did and let us know who you would have said!
And of course no episode is complete without STUMP THE SQUAD. Will reigning champ Grandpa J start off with another lead, or will someone else begin their climb to the title?!
