Gym Class All-Stars

Listen, I know it's been a few weeks. We've been fighting tech issues, and had a fully recorded episode get corrupted. We needed some time to decompress so I wouldn't smash my computer. But as always we are back with a new episode. This one is very basketball heavy. We recap the March Madness tournament, go over how our predictions faired in comparison to the actual final outcomes, the biggest surprises, and our overall impressions of the tournament itself. Transitioning to the NBA, we talk about the major storylines leading up to the playoffs. Lebron and the Lakers being eliminated from playoff competition, overall standings, hypothetical playoff matchups and our predictions for the regular season awards (MVP, DPOY, 6th man etc.). Finally, in an effort to make our show more exciting and interesting, we added a new segment to end the show. For the next few weeks, Robby and Alex will be attempting to build a Basketball Dynasty on Basketball GM. They are the co-GMs of the fictional Denver High, and are attempting to finally bring Denver a championship. Will they do it, or is GM-ing a harder responsibility than we give teams credit for.

Little hiatus due to Robby going to Phoenix. And NO, it wasn't for a 10 day contract. With that being said, welcome back to your daily dose of sports podcasting that no one listens to, but will end up echoing the same thoughts and feelings we have, but two weeks later. Despite the fact, the tournament hasn't started yet, the MADNESS is in full force. Fights, upsets and plenty of insane basketball. Our full bracketology episode will be out next week. MLB and players came to a deal so baseball is BACK very soon. The NBA is gearing up for the postseason and the MVP race is heating up. Joel Embiid is our frontrunner but can Giannis or Ja do enough to take the title out of MVPiid's hands? Time will tell. We also discuss the current Eastern conference standings, where each team will end up by the end of the year and how the new Sixers duo looked against the Nets (spoiler alert... not good). Finally, the NFL has been really active in the offseason. The Broncos pulled off a blockbuster trade to land Russell Wilson, the Chargers bolstered their defense by getting Khalil Mack and the newly named Washington Commanders acquired... Carson Wentz. Heinous. We discuss all the trades and signings and debut a new segment where we name the Kirk Cousins equivalent of different categories.

Sorry for the long hiatus, but your favorite indie sports podcast is back with another new episode. The 2021 NFL season is officially over. While we're all sulking since we have nothing to do on Sundays now, we make the best of it and talk about the culmination of one of the best years of football with Super Bowl 56. We discuss, Odell's big game and horrible injury, Cooper Kupp and Aaron Donald being the saving grace for a poor Sean McVay game plan and the refs ultimately being the deciding factor to end an important game. To round out the year, we talk about expectations for the Rams next year, if the Bengals will ever be able to make it back to the Super Bowl and the QB comparisons for the young crop of AFC QBs (Mahomes=Brady, Allen=Manning, etc).

With the NFL season complete, NBA has taken all of our attention and the trade deadline came in with a whimper and ended with... general confusion. Lots of really odd trades including the Porzingis trade, the Sabonis-Haliburton swap and the Harrell trade. We called a lot of them (like the McCollum trade) but some of them were such head scratchers that we had no idea how they even happened. Alex is thrilled that Ben Simmons is gone AND the Sixers got a superstar in return. Robby is thrilled because they Heat are doing well... life's pretty good. The All-Star weekend was.,.. subpar. The dunk content STUNK, the skills challenge was mid but at least the 3-PT contest was exciting. As always, the All-Star game itself was a fun time. Give the episode a listen and let us know what you want to hear us talk about in the upcoming months! Without football, there will be some voids, so we'd love to hear some suggestions.

Best. Playoffs. EVER! Wow the conference championships did not disappoint. Bengals had one of the best underdog comebacks I've ever seen! Joe Burrow did not back down under the pressure and beat Chiefs, earning the mantle of hero for preventing the Mahomes family from Tik Tok dancing all around LA for the next 10 days. And then Matt Stafford/Cooper Kupp don't back down from a fight against the 49ers and bring the team back from the brink of elimination to send the all-in LA Rams to the Super Bowl (in their home stadium)! The boys discuss the two games in more depth, give predictions for the Super Bowl, give their list of the best prop bets for the big game. We also discuss the Brian Flores situation, the new coaching hires and how we think each will fare in their first season as a HC. 

For the NBA, we discuss the egregious Clippers-Blazers trade and why Damian Lillard has a death wish when it comes to playoff success. We give our predictions for the upcoming trade deadline, give our thoughts on the intense MVP race and finally discuss the near perfect NBA all-star selections for the upcoming All-Star game. Even Andrew Wiggins deserved the all-star nod (hot take... we know).

Wow, what a weekend! My heart rate is still at 160 BPM from all the excitement the Divisional Round had to offer. We go in depth on all these historic games. Evan McPherson being a stone cold KILLER, Aaron Rodgers' legacy is tarnished by the 49ers, Tom Brady deserved to win after his insane comeback and the game of the century (arguably) between the Chiefs and Bills. So much to unpack, but we do and we do it well and we also give our predictions for the AFC and NFC championship games. MLB is still in a major lockout but at least people are chatting AND David Ortiz made the hall of fame (congrats Big Papi). Finally, the trade deadline is looming for the NBA and a few names are being brought up. Domantas Sabonis, John Collins, and Christian Wood are all potentially available. As we predicted, James Harden has Kyrie's spontaneity and will seek out free agency this summer. Could this finally be the reunion of Harden and Morey that Sixers fans have been craving for over a year. Hot takes, funny quips and of course plenty of laughs on this episode of Gym Class All-Stars!

Audio is choppy at times on Robby's end, but its cohesive. SUBSCRIBE SO WE CAN UPGRADE ROBBY'S INTERNET!

Ha! The episode number... its funny! Of course this milestone of an episode is just us bragging about how smart we are. We discuss all of the 6 NFL wildcard games from the past weekend. Topics such as both the Eagles and Steelers being utter embarrassments, Alex going to the Bills game and witnessing a literal "perfect game" with 68,000 of his Bills Mafia brethren and Kyler Murray looking like an absolute joke in his first playoff game. And of course, the boys rip the Cowboys and their bandwagon fans. We told you for MONTHS that the Cowboys would choke and sure enough they did. We were spot on with our predictions last week, so we give our predictions for the Divisional Round (let's see if we get humbled). Can the Bills get another home playoff game and is there anyone who can stop Tom Brady? Finally, we cover the NBA. The Lakers stink, Ben Simmons trades are starting to actually take shape, and the Miami Heat are healthy (for now). One of my favorite episodes to produce.

DAAAAAAMN DANIEL.... BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH... another episode of Gym Class All-Stars. Folks, yet again we are back to give you all the happenings in the wide world of sports (Disney didn't trademark that... right?). Any who, college football fans can rejoice as Georgia beat Alabama in the CFB Championship. Stetson Bennett IV came in and slayed the beast that was the Crimson Tide. The NBA is beginning to pick up. Klay Thompson is back, the Sixers are trying to bait teams to trade for Ben Simmons by also dangling Tobias Harris in front of them and the Grizzlies having a future elite backcourt. The NFL regular season finally ended, and boy it did not disappoint. Upsets galore, divisional upsets and the Chargers and Raiders gave us the most exciting and most chaotic game of the season (unless you're a Steelers fan). The boys recap Week 18, give their predictions for the Wild Card games this weekend and end it by talking about the Black Monday firings and who will fill the Head Coaching vacancies. Jokes, laughs and as always, plenty of sports analysis on this podcast. Subscribe if you enjoy!

Happy new year everyone! We're back for another year of podcasting, and another year of sports. The college football bowls came and went. Plenty of excitement, plenty of good (and really bad) games, and of course plenty of BAD bowl names. Alabama continues to be dominant and Georgia trounced Michigan, which sets up another SEC National Championship game. For the NBA, Klay Thompson AND Kyrie are coming back soon, the Cavs are still surprising red hot, and Mr. Ja Morant is making a case as the best PG in the league! Wow what a time to be a fan (unless you're a Lakers fan). The NFL regular season is almost over. The boys fill everyone in on all the wild and wacky scenarios,  and cover all the important storylines from Week 17. Alex is on Cloud 9 that both of his teams made the playoffs, while Robby is still holding out hope that the Steelers can find a miracle and get to the playoffs. Finally, the boys do an impromptu Kitchen debate about should college athletes play in their bowl games for their schools? All this and more on this episode of Gym Class All-Stars
