Gym Class All-Stars

Football is BACK! We were all so excited that we missed an episode before the start of the season, but the boys are back to recap all the happenings in the sports world. Week 1 came and went and it was AWESOME! The Bills looked unstoppable in Week 1, the Eagles didn't fully blow a lead, the Steelers made Joe Burrow and the Bengals look like a bottom feeder team . On top of all that the Falcons blew another lead, the Cowboys still suck and Geno Smith really is a bad BAD man. The boys also cover the newest NBA offseason acquisitions. The Donovan Mitchell trade took the Cavaliers from a fringe playoff team to bona fide Eastern conference contenders. Pat Bev and Russell Westbrook are united in LA and the Suns owner is in some HOT water for a number of reasons about his conduct with employees. Baseball is winding down. In almost 2 weeks we'll have the playoffs. Somehow, the Phillies are still in playoff contention. Alex and Robby pick their favorites for the World Series and for once it's not biased. Finally, the boys do a belated time capsule picks for the 2022 NFL season. Basically, they give picks and will not look at them till the end of the season. Usually their choices are embarrassing based on how the season goes, but sometimes there are some gems. See what the future holds for these predictions. All this and more on this episode of Gym Class All-Stars!

After the longest hiatus imaginable (thanks Robby for deciding to move across the country), the boys are back to celebrate the NFL being back... kinda. We talk the Deshaun Watson suspension and why karma will catch up with the Cleveland Browns. Alex talks about how good the Buffalo Bills looked in their preseason game and how upset he was that Russell Wilson didn't play (Broncos Nation really didn't ride). The boys also talk about the MLB trade deadline. They give their thoughts on the new Padres team and swoon about how they are all-in on this Phillies team. For the NBA, Alex and Robby give their thoughts on the marquee matchups for the 2022-23 season, including the opening day and Christmas Day games. They also talk about Lebron James' new contract and if he should have taken less money for a better roster. Finally, the boys have an impromptu debate about which set of games will be better: the Thursday Night games or the Monday Night games. We're happy to be back so subscribe and tell your friends!

With a bit of time before the NFL season gets under the way, Alex and Robby decided to do another life episode! This episode discusses big life changes coming up in our life, stories of sneaking video game consoles onto field trips, comments on movies and TV shows and of course lots of laughs and jokes because we are FUNNY! Didn't laugh... that's awkward. These are some of our favorite episodes to do so give it a listen and maybe consider leaving a rating or comment. If you want to learn more about the voices behind this critically acclaimed podcast (5.0 stars on Apple... just saying) then give it a listen, and maybe come back for the sports episodes.

While the MLB is the only sport with the season still going on, don't underestimate the intrigue of the NBA offseason. From the draft, to the beginning of free agency to all the trade rumors, there is a LOT to go through. One might even say that this is another NBA MEGA EPISODE! First off is a draft recap. We talk about our feelings about the top 10 picks, bad vs good picks and who will be an absolute bust or potential superstar. The next portion we talk about all the free agent signings. All the supermax contract extensions, all the role players getting their deserved money and all the signings in between. We discuss the good and bad ones of this bunch. Finally, the boys go over all the trades and trade rumors going on. Main points of discussion involve the Rudy Gobert trade and then the KD and Kyrie trade rumors and scenarios.

The Warriors knocked off the highly favored Boston Celtics. We discuss the fallout of the NBA Finals. Is Steph Curry top 10, how much should Jordan Poole's contract be, and will Andrew Wiggins stay with the Warriors. On the flip side, can Tatum and Brown coexist, and what do the Celtics do with their roster. Do they trade some role players in hopes of upgrading the starting lineup or do they stick it out with the roster that got them to the Finals. Christian Wood got sent to the Mavericks, so Luka has his 2nd star.... kinda. PJ Tucker is testing free agency, John Wall is being a detriment to the Houston Rockets and then there's Brooklyn...Kyrie wants a long term contract, the Nets don't want to give him that for obvious reasons. They are at an impasse and only time will tell with that. If he leaves, what happens to Kevin Durant... does he leave, or do him and Simmons become the Dynamic Duo we didn't ask for. With the draft being a few days away, the boys break down their predictions for the Top 10 NBA draft picks for the 2022 draft. A lot of consensus but truthfully this draft is really up in the air with where anyone can go. LIV Golf and PGA tour need to do a "loser leaves town" type of match to settle the rivalry once and for all, and then Gronk retires, and the Browns still suck. All this and more on this episode of Gym Class All-Stars.

While we are just weeks away from the most boring point of the sports cycle, the NBA is still on going and boy is it tense. The Warriors and Celtics are locked in a battle of ages. Deadlocked 2-2, it is a very even series, with each game going back and forth. It really is any team's series. Robby and Alex recap the Finals and go over a few topics of discussion such as: Is Draymond Green washed up? Will there be a Klay Thompson Game 6 performance and should Steph Curry win the Finals MVP if he loses. For the MLB, the season is going... the Phillies went on a 9 game win streak, but at the cost of getting obliterated by the Diamondbacks... so it's moderate optimism from us Philly fans. Do the boys think that the Yankees can hold onto the top record in the MLB and/or will they choke in the playoffs? Alex explains the PGA-LIV controversy to Robby and why competition may not be great for the sport. Finally, the boys touch on the NFL. Specifically, getting into the Deshaun Watson debacle and the Patrick Mahomes slander. All this and more on this week's episode of Gym Class All-Stars!

We've been gone for two weeks, and well... a lot has happened. Both number one conference seeds lost in gut-wrenching game 7s, Al Horford is a superstar apparently and the Phillies went ahead and fired Joe Girardi after a dumpster fire of a start to the season. Don't worry though... some things never change. Robby still knows nothing about the NHL and Alex still hates Boston sports (and the Cowboys). The boys are back and get everyone caught up on the playoffs. They discuss the fallout from the Conference finals, the potential detonation of the Phoenix Suns roster and the intrigue of what is going to happen in Utah. Quin Snyder resigning may be the catalyst to the Jazz finally entering a rebuild. 

As a fun second segment, Alex and Robby took a break from Basketball GM to test their NFL and NBA knowledge. The boys try and name the top 15 NBA all-time statistical category leaders and all the Super Bowl MVPs. Will they be able to name everyone? Will you be impressed? Probably not because you have unrealistic standards for us. Whatever the case may be, hope you enjoy and consider subscribing!

Wow! Our first 2 hour episode. I promise you it's not just filler. We just had a lot to cover this week. The 2022 NFL Draft came and went. Lots of excitement and incredible blockbuster trades (if you're an Eagles fan like me). We give our thoughts on the top 10 picks, the big trades that went down and some of the more notable picks of the 1st round. Speaking of first round, it just concluded in the NBA playoffs. We recap all of the series, give our picks for who we think is going to make the conference finals, and have the most heated argument about Joel Embiid and the Sixers and his "injury-prone-ness". Finally, part 3 of our Basketball GM series. The boys are in prime position to win the league championship, but can they avoid blowing a 3-1 playoff lead?!? Tune in to find out.
