Gabriel and Don are back with an autumnal review: where the baseball season has gone and where it’s headed, and a preview of the NBA in ’26-’27. We've missed doing this!

Gabriel and Don return after a break with an all-big-four-sports review. 

Note: recorded April 5, so go easy on our predictions. (Except the NCAA finals. We nailed that one.)

Gabriel surgically dissects the Celtics’ woes and plots their next moves into the ’25-’26 season, then takes a look at a couple of the most intriguing questions around big league baseball in recent years.

We remember our dear departed Poppy, in his stellar guest appearance from 2021. We discuss that year’s NFL draft and possible baseball MVPs, plus speculate about the right city for a new MLB franchise. 

We love you, Poppy!

Gabriel discusses this week’s astonishing NBA news — the Doncic trade. He and Don make their Super Bowl predictions. We talk about the remaining baseball free agents as spring training approaches. And we remember the greatest friend of the pod, our beloved Poppy.

In today’s episode, your welcome distraction from the cares of the world includes an in-depth discussion of this winter’s bumper crop of baseball free agents, a game of MLB “Would you Rather?”, and a short bonus segment on the Celtics’ start. (Spoiler: they're good!)

(Recorded 11/4/24)

There’s a snap in the air, as we ask: Which baseball teams are (and which aren’t) ready for the postseason? What prospects are we going to see in September? What are the NFL playoffs going to look like? 

Gabriel has the 411 on all of it…..

We return for a midsummer review, as the Olympics begin, to look at Team USA basketball, and check in on midseason contenders for baseball awards. Then Gabriel rates where’s the best place to watch — er, eat while watching — a ballgame.

Gabriel surveys the not-yet-complete (recorded June 9) NBA Finals, looks forward to the baseball trade deadline, and revisits his personal all-time NBA Top 10. 

(Note: Jason Kidd played for the Nets in the aughts, not, as stated, in the 1990s, when he was playing for the Mavs and Suns. The editors regret the error.)

Gabriel returns with a review of the baseball offseason so far -- and a preview of what's to come -- that dares to ask the question: would YOU pay a guy who's never thrown a pitch in the majors $325 million? Plus -- predictions for the NFL playoffs.
