#NFL #NBA #Boxing #UFC

We had a fantastic podcast episode that covered many sports like a blanket!  Jason Cameron is always a fun guest and a pleasure to chat with and break down the weekend of sports. 

 Our first sport we dove into was the NFL and week 10 had a lot of things to discuss.  There was a report of Drew Brees fracturing five ribs and suffering a collapsed lung from a sack.  The report suggested he would be out of action 2-3 weeks at minimum which made us laugh at how short of a recovery time that seemed. The contenders and pretenders are really starting to reveal themselves and it was fun to discuss every matchup.    

The NBA free agency period started with a bit of a flurry as there were some signings and trades consumated on Monday.  The biggest deal had Chris Paul getting traded from the Thunder to the Phoenix Suns for a bunch of players highlighted by Kelly Oubre and Ricky Rubio and a 2022 first round draft pick.  The Thunder also dealt Dennis Schroder to the Lakers probably signalling an end to Kyle Kuzma and maybe even Rajon Rondo in LaLa land. James Harden declined his contract option with Houston and has supposedly asked to be traded to the Brooklyn Nets or the Philadelphia 76ers.  The next month or so is going to be interesting and fun to watch.    

We had a short conversation about the big Top Rank boxing card held on Saturday  as Terrence "Bud" Crawford knocked out  Kell Brook in the fourth round. It was a highlight reel KO and if you haven't seen it find it and watch the spectacular punch that ended the night!    The UFC had fight night Vegas 14 and we brokedown the entire card. The main event had Rafael Dos Anjos facing Paul "The Irish Dragon" Felder which turned out to be a great fight.  There were a lot of great performances and you should stick around and listen to our fun breakdown.   

 Enjoy,

#Masters #PGA #BCHL #MLB

We had a great conversation with Dale Cory discussing the Masters golf tournament, junior hockey and MLB. 

 It was fun to talk about a historic Masters that was held 7 months late in front of almost no patrons.  Dustin Johnson set a bunch of records as he lead wire to wire and shot a record -20 268 as he was able to win and put on the green jacket for the first time.  It was a really fun breakdown as we dove into so many of the story lines that emerged over the four days.  

 We talked at length about junior hockey and the Okanagan cup that just wrapped up this weekend with the Penticton Vees taking the title over the Vernon Vipers. They played 12 games and it culminated in a 3 to 2 win in overtime.  It was a great tourney and the Vees won 11 of 12 to really gain confidence as the regular season starts on December 4th.   

We then spoke about the huge hiring in MLB as Kim Ng became the first woman named a General Manager in Major league baseball  taking over the Florida Marlins.  Her resume is incredibly impressive as she was part of the Dodgers and Yankees organizations in various capacities and the league office for a decade.  Way to go Kim and kudos to Derek Jeter and the Marlins organization.  An incredible milestone and trailblazer achieving her dream job after being one of the hardest working people in the sport.

 This is a milestone podcast as we broke at least a couple of records and probably multiple milestones.  In the early stages of the episode our host Darren Campbell gets into the details on the life accomplishment records Jeff Meszaros would have set in the history of this podcast!  When you watch and listen please let us know if we were correct in our assessment.   

 There is a short intro from Darren but thankfully Jeff gets into much greater detail on his colorful life history.  He talks about being a long time martial arts practitioner(36 years and counting), a Jiu Jitsu instructor, a long time radio guy, and MMA journalist among other things.    Jeff Wombat Meszaros is a pioneer starting with the early days of underground forums that is now www.mixedmartialarts.com .  Those early days were also the first years of the internet and they were basically chat groups for the MMA enthusiasts.  The Wombat had funny takes and got a name for himself that started leading to more opportunities.  Arnold Lim who had a website called MMA ring report asked Jeff to write UFC predictions for the site.  This opened doors and Jeff smashed them down and started to become a well known and respected MMA journalist. He wrote for numerous fight magazines with humor, wit and unprecedented insight to the combat world.  This eventually led to a once in a lifetime opportunity with BodogTV to be a fulltime travelling MMA reporter. He was sent by them all over the world to cover mixed martial arts events.  He had been working full time in the radio business and was a part time writer for MMA. He quit radio and jumped at the chance to make this hobby become his career.  

 You really have to listen and watch to the rest of the podcast to hear the stories and gain insight to a great life well lived.    Thank you Jeff for a small piece of your valuable time and for sharing stories and reflection on the first few chapters of your life!  We talked for almost two hours and have condensed this down to less than an hour but plan on publishing a few more shorter segments over the coming days.  It would be nice to have Jeff as a semi regular guest as well because he has a lifetime of stories that should be shared again.  He also is continuing to give a lot to his community by teaching jiu jitsu to many people that get the huge benefits of training in martial arts.  

 Thanks again Jeff!

This is a great preview for this unprecedented Masters held in November in front of no patrons this year.

In a historic week in the world as the US elected a new president as it took longer than ever to count the votes! Lets hope for a great future for the country and world at large!

Jason was in an especially good and funny mood for this episdoe. Week nine in the NFL was a lot of fun to watch with many storylines. We broke down every game through the weekend.

The UFC was highlighted by some "old guys" getting massive victories in UFC Vegas 13. Glover Texeira and Andrei Arlovski were the first two over forty year olds to win both the main and co-main fights on the same card in UFC history.

#NFL #NBA #UFC

This is a really fun breakdown of the Halloween weekend in sports.

The NFL has reached the halfway mark despite the global pandemic and the out of control Covid crisis. There have been positive tests but the NFL just keeps chugging along. It was fun to discuss all of the division rival games and being on the eve of the trading deadline we had deals to break down,

We briefly talked about the NBA and specifically about the hiring of Mike D'Antoni to be the assistant coach of the Brooklyn Nets. Steve Nash had Mike as his coach in Phoenix when he was the two time MVP of the NBA and he returned the favor by hiring him. It was a great move and we both agreed it was going to be fun for the team and league.

The UFC had another card and another retirement of one of the G.O.A.T.'s of the sport. Last week it was Khabib Nurmagamedov and this week it was Anderson "The Spider" Silva. The 45 year old living legend finally is appearing in the Octagon for the last time. We brokedown the entire card from this past weekend and the upcoming one.

#UFC254 #G.O.A.T. #Khabib #NFL

We had a great conversation breaking down the UFC 254 that featured Khabbib Nurmagomedov getting a huge victory and then subsequently retired. His complete dominance of Justin Gaethje in this lightweight title fight was surprising to most. Khabib's father Abdulmanap died in July from complications related to Covid-19 at 57 years old. He was Khabib's long time coach and trainer among many other top fighters. Once the fight was over he took off his gloves and said that he had promised his mother that he was going to retire now his dad was gone. We had a lot of fun getting into this fight and the rest of a great card.

We brokedown week 7 of the NFL which featured a great battle of two unbeaten teams in the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tennessee Titans, It was a tale of two halfs as the Steelers dominated early and then the Titans flipped the script and almost came all the way back. They would have forced overtime if their kicker Stephen Gostkowski would have nailed the 47 yard field goal at the end of the game. We also broke down the incredible NFC West battle between Seattle and Arizona that was an overtime shootout. It was a nationally televised late Sunday game and had an incredible amount of amazing plays and when the Cards finally hit a field goal late in overtime to hand the Hawks their first loss of the season. There was a lot of things to discuss in the other matchups as well.

We ended the episode giving kudos and our condolensces to David Braley the long time owner and interim commissioner in the CFL just passed away at 79 years old. He was a legend and owned the BC. LIons for 24 years and also owned the Hamilton Tiger Cats and Toronto Argos at different times. He will be sorely missed from football in this country.

Her new book "The Role I Played" was just released over the last few weeks is a must read for virtually anyone and everyone. We loved the book and were thrilled to have this conversation and share it with you.

Sami's quote unquote day job is now a professional speaker and our conversation was in depth and lengthy as a result. She has been recognized as one of only 500 speakers worldwide with the Certified Speaking Professional designation. With all of our research into her life, career and book we could have talked for many more hours but we had to let her get on with her busy life. We highly recommend watching the entire conversation but if you need to consume it in more than one sitting we understand. Rush out and purchase a copy of her book for yourself and two or three more for friends and family and they will thank you immensely. There are a lot of life lessons and a great story that she shares with the world that we should embrace and promote.

In order to survive the new world we live in we all need to have things to look forward to. We also need excitement and passion and sports can deliver all of these things.

This past weekend the boxing world garnered a lot of attention with the big fight between Vasyl Lomachenko vs Teofimo Lopez. There were four title belts on the line in the 135lb lightweight division. There was an upset and it was a great fight.

We got into discussing week six of the NFL and all of the great games and storylines that came out this past weekend.

It was a great breakdown of the UFC Fight Night with the main event between Brian "Tcity" Ortega vs Chang Sung Jung " The Korean Zombie" It was an incredible performance by Ortega and the Zombie added more legend to his life story. We talked at length of most of the card. We also looked forward to next weekends UFC 254 and gave some analysis and predictions for your viewing and listening pleasure.

#NBA #Lakers #TheKing #NFL #UFC

This is another fantastic weekend wrapup of the world of sports.

We discussed the NBA finally crowning a champion in the bubble. Lebron James has restored the championship pedigree to the historic Lakers organization and was able to deliver their 17th NBA title. It was fun to breakdown the longest season in NBA history and how magical the playoffs seemeed.

Check out Head Coach Frank Vogel on David Letterman as a ten year old kid https://youtu.be/4v5fndP7ELY 

We talked about the NFL who continues even though they had to reschedule another 8 games because of Covid-19 positive tests. The Seattle Seahawks were the first up to talk about. The Canadian wide receiver Chase Claypool from Abbotsford had a game to remember with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. The rookie scored 4 touchdown himself on the receiving and one rushing score. Jason who also calls Abbotsford his hometown was heaping high praise on the the emerging star. We broke down all of the games on the schedule.

The conversation turned to this past weekends UFC fight card from Abu Dhabi's fight island. It is quickly becoming known as the card of the spinning knockouts. Both Cody Sandhagen and Joaquin Buckley had incredible finishes that were great to witness. Buckley had one of the greatest KO's in history. If you haven't seen it please find it and prepare to be blown away. https://youtu.be/OTwO2o7_kFk 

Enjoy the podcast and all of the fun breakdowns that we had.
