DROPPIN DIMES

If you’re a fan of the show then you know things can get a little crazy sometimes. That’s just what happened in this episode. Cedric Williams, aka the “Washed up Hooper” was back on the mic, and Wayne Thompson Jr. aka “Mr. iHeart Radio” made a special appearance.

The show pretty much started out with everyone giving Wayne a tough time about his Alma Matter Utah State University. We talked about the school’s athletic program and if it gets enough respect in the state. So Aggie fans, you should give this one a listen because Wayne really goes to bat for y’all.

In addition to that, we talked about the Utah-BYU rivalry, the college football early signing period, and Kyle Kuzma and Donovan Mitchell’s early success in the NBA.

Three on three basketball is making its way to Utah like never before. Former professional basketball player Cedric Williams is bringing the Beehive State something new — Hoop’N In The Hive. Williams joined Droppin Dimes to talk about the all ages and skill level tournament set to take place August 3rd and 4th in 2018.

Williams said the reason he decided to put the tournament together is because something of this magnitude hasn’t been done in Utah before. He also feels it’s the grassroots of basketball and one of the best ways for players to develop their game.

In addition to talking about the tournament, we talk Pac -12 football, bowl game selections, college football playoffs, AAU hoops, Derrick Rose taking time off from the NBA and much more.

Listen to the podcast to find out how you can win cash prizes and sign your team up for the Hoop’N In The Hive tourney.

Former Utah wide receiver KENNETH SCOTT, joined Droppin Dimes for the 16th episode. It’s only fitting that we called on the former Ute to break down the big Utah – BYU rivalry game.

The Utes went down to Provo and beat the Cougars 19-13. The Utes may have walked out with the W but it wasn’t pretty. Scott talked about the improvements the Utes need to make on offense, quarterback Tyler Huntley’s explosiveness and how good the team’s defense is. In addition to recapping the game, Scott gives his picks for week 3 of PAC 12 football.

A topic we haven’t discussed thus far on the show is Colin Kaepernick and how the former San Francisco 49er has yet to be signed to a team. Scott offered his opinion on the matter and where he stands on players taking a stand on social justice issues.

It’s been a while since we’ve talked to Scott. He caught us up on where he is in life and what’s next. He opened up about the loss of his mother, proposing to his girlfriend and having a baby girl.

Give the podcast a listen and get to know another side to Scott off the field.

On this week’s episode of Droppin Dimes  we covered a lot of ground. Sascha Blume and Brittany Johnson weighed in on the Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor aftermath (shout out to all the people that put up live streams on Twitter so Brittany could watch for free), the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics trade update and Tropical Storm Harvey affecting local sports teams and their families.

We also caught up with Kraig Williams, Communications manager of the Salt Lake Bees. The Bees are on the brink of making it to the playoffs for the first time since 2013 so Williams stopped by to talk about the team’s chances of getting in. We also discuss the team’s relationship with the Los Angeles Angels and what it’s like for guys trying to make it into the major league. Somehow we also got into the topic of Brittany throwing out the first pitch at one of the games, but Kraig said she can’t “50 Cent it” (click here to see 50 Cent bomb the first pitch he threw out).

The Bees also have great activities scheduled for the kids for the rest of the regular season. This week you can catch fireworks, your kids can run bases and enjoy a ton of other festivities.

We are just days away from what is being billed “the biggest fight ever” – when Floyd Mayweather will face off against Conor McGregor. It’s one of the most talked about and heavily promoted fights in recent history.

Rob Scott, CEO of Legends Boxing joined Episode 14 of Droppin Dimes to preview the big match. Scott, who has been boxing since he was a kid, explained why McGregor, a UFC fighter, doesn’t stand a chance when it comes to stepping in the ring to box Mayweather. We also discuss the discipline and conditioning it takes to be a boxer, why this fight is good for the sport of boxing and the huge payday the two fighters will get from Saturday’s ordeal.

Scott also takes us down memory lane and reflects on what got him into boxing, his favorite boxers, and how he thinks the sport will progress after the McGregor Mayweather fight.
