Enter Sandman Sports Podcast

Football season is heating up, and Eric, Bill, and Pat have plenty to say about another weekend of wild finishes, major upsets, and coaching decisions that defy explanation.

This week, the guys break down Oklahoma's stunning upset of Texas, Georgia's showdown with Alabama, the Seahawks-49ers thriller, and an absolutely disastrous clock-management meltdown by the Washington Commanders. Eric also shares a couple of eventful family stories involving a rescued chihuahua, his son's football season, and an unexpected trip to the ER.

The crew also pays tribute to legendary coach Mike Ditka before putting their sports knowledge to the test in Be My Guess, where Pat and Bill battle to name the greatest sports rivalries in America (according to a recent Fox Sports article). Which iconic matchups make the top 10?

And in Stone Cold Locks, Bill makes the painful decision to bet against his beloved Washington Huskies, while Eric does the unthinkable and backs Ohio State against Indiana. Can Bill and Pat keep closing the gap on Eric in the season standings?

Plus, plenty of laughs, bold predictions, and the usual trash talk. Tune in for Episode #91 and enjoy!

After a few months away, the boys are back, and Eric, Pat and Bill have plenty to catch up on.

Finally, the guys put their money where their mouths are with their first picks of the season, sharing NFL futures and breaking down their favorite college and pro plays for the weekend.

Football is back. Sandman is live. And after a long summer away, the pod is finally back too.

Let the season begin.

The boys are back with another packed episode, starting with a recap of their annual “Nailed It” trip to Vegas and all the related shenanigans. Bierman then shares details from his trip to Augusta for a Wednesday practice round before the group dives into a full breakdown of the Masters, including Rory’s win and how he closed it out.

Next up is Be My Guess, keeping the golf theme going as the guys try to name the top 10 career earners on the PGA Tour, with the Sandman setting podcast history.

From there, it’s Hot Takes. The Twins’ strong start gets some attention, Sergio catches heat for his latest tantrum, and both the UCLA women’s college basketball team and the Frozen Four get well-deserved recognition for what each accomplished last week.

The episode wraps with Stone Cold Locks, featuring three picks for this week’s RBC at Harbour Town, followed by a sports-themed Top 5 where each of the hosts rank their favorite current professional athletes, with a few twists added in.

The boys also share some news: they’re hitting pause on the pod for a few months as they focus more time on building out and growing the overall Sandman Sports business. So, this is the last episode for a bit, but they'll be back in August ready for football season. Soak this one in and enjoy.

The boys are back after a week-long spring break hiatus and jump right into a packed episode. They open by revisiting one of the best games of the tournament, UConn’s incredible comeback against Duke, including a breakdown of how it unfolded and where it ranks among the best game-ending shots ever.

From there, they recap both Final Four matchups from the weekend before previewing Monday night’s national championship between Michigan and UConn, complete with their predictions (recorded prior to tip).

The show then shifts back into its regular segments. In Be My Guess, the basketball theme continues as the guys try to name the 10 Power Five programs with the fewest all-time NCAA Tournament appearances. Pat looks to build on momentum and secure his first-ever two-game winning streak.

Hot Takes brings a wide range of topics, including ice baths, Gino Auriemma’s bad look, Jo Adell’s highlight-reel home run robberies, the track record of Heisman-winning quarterbacks in the NFL, and even a few classic Chuck Norris-isms.

Next up is Stone Cold Locks, where the guys preview the Masters and lock in their picks for Augusta, before wrapping up their Action Hero Bracket by crowning a final winner.

Another loaded episode with a strong mix of sports, pop culture, and plenty of laughs.

The guys are all-in on March Madness once again, and this week they welcome Mr. Pat Klett back into the mix. Like last episode, they skip most of the usual segments and focus almost entirely on the tournament.

They open by breaking down the first two rounds, hitting on everything from the wild Santa Clara-Kentucky finish to Iowa’s late-game heroics in the upset over Florida. They also get into whether Gonzaga is overrated as a program, Kevin Willard’s strange in-game comments, and the bigger-picture question, is Cinderella actually dead, and if so, is that necessarily a bad thing?

From there, it’s a full Sweet 16 deep dive. The trio go matchup by matchup through all eight games, laying out what they’re seeing, where the edges are, and giving both straight-up and ATS picks.

It’s another hardwood-heavy episode, and if you’ve been locked into March, this one has everything you’re looking for. The boys will be off next week for spring break, so if you need your Sandman fix before April, this is the one.

Enjoy.

This week is all about hoops and the best four days in sports: opening weekend of March Madness. With the tournament finally here, the guys go all in on the bracket.

Pat couldn’t make it this week, but super sub Mike Pason steps in and delivers. The episode is almost entirely focused on breaking down the bracket region by region, identifying the most vulnerable teams, potential bracket busters, must-watch players, key trends, and the matchups you need to have circled for the first round.

The crew also shares their favorite first-round bets, along with each host’s Final Four, championship matchup, and ultimate national champion. Along the way, there are plenty of useful insights and angles to help you fill out your bracket.

All the regular segments, such as Hot Takes, Stone Cold Locks, Top 5, and more, will return next week. But for now, it’s all about the madness that is March and breaking down the bracket from every angle.

Enjoy, Sandman Nation and good luck with your picks.
