Chris Rosenthall and Kevin Brown analyze the results from Week 3 of the Premier Lacrosse League. They share an in-depth discussion around the Philadelphia getting its second win, the Denver and Maryland getting their first, the Archers getting back on track and how legit the California Redwoods are. Then, they spin it all forward to this weekend at Homewood Field.If you're a lacrosse fan wondering if Anthony Kelly is the league's new Andy Towers, how Tom Schreiber can think of three different scenarios of how a play might unfold before we could get to the first, or why Danny Logan was the key missing piece as Atlas dropped below .500 in a collapse vs. the Whips, this is the episode for you.

Chris Rosenthall and Kevin Brown are back to recap Week 2 in the PLL with the help of special guests Asher Nolting and Red Legion drummer Michael Harrison.

Rosie and Kevin dissect Boston's narrow win over Utah and Nolting describes both the viral play when his shorts fell down and he still ended up with an assist then spotlight Marcus Holman's heroic game-winning dive.

They unpack Jared Bernhardt's debut with the Outlaws, the Waterdogs season-opener and Carolina's second homecoming to Charlotte as the Chaos got their first win under new coach Roy Colsey.

Harrison provides his origin story in becoming a Carolina pro lacrosse superfan, what it's like when players interact with Red Legion (and drop their own drum cellys) and how Carolina fans have weathered the storm of a tumultuous offseason.

Hosts Chris Rosenthall and Kevin Brown welcome on California Redwoods undrafted rookie Joshua Balcarcel to talk about his crazy first week as a pro, scoring the first goal from a Marist Red Fox in the PLL, and what it's like to play confident and free to crack the gameday roster. From there, Rosie and Kevin discuss the Jared Bernhardt to the Denver Outlaws signing, the Week 1 results, touch on their 2025 season predictions, and preview Week 2 in Charlotte.

In part one of The Tailgate's 2025 recap, IL's Terry Foy and Nick Ossello go deeper on Cornell's run to the NCAA Championship, isolating the defensive improvement and Jordan Stevens' role in that progress.

From there, they recap the NCAA Tournament, highlighting the best games and performances, then move into a recap of the NCAA Transfer Portal and coaching carousel.

Congratulations to the Cornell Big Red.

The 2025 college season is complete, and we are living in a Big Red World as Cornell won its first NCAA Championship since 1977. Time to wrap up the season, as all good things must come to an end. D-Fly and Dixie rehash Memorial Day Weekend and share stories from a wonderful Final Four. 

To celebrate Cornell’s championship season, we replay parts of their interview last month with Big Red Legacy, Ryan Goldstein. The guys talk about Ithaca weather, growing up Goldstein, making it as a smaller attackman, role models, playing for public school power Radnor (Pa.), playing alongside CJ Kirst, why Ryan wears No. 30 and much, much more.

In this week’s Tewaaraton-inspired Give & Go, the guys talk about the epic 2025 season of Cornell’s CJ Kirst and his place in history as one of the very all-time greats.

IL's Terry Foy, Larken Kemp and Nick Ossello go live from Gillette Stadium (well, one of them was in Gillette) on the heels of Cornell's 13-10 victory over Maryland to secure the Big Red's first NCAA championship in 48 years.

From CJ Kirst's heroic performance to Cornell's hard hat mentality between the lines to Wyatt Knust's showing up and showing out, the boys go into all the reasons coach Connor Buczek's team won on the final day.

Kap and Caleb hit record and dive in on a combination of keys for each team, hinge-point matchups, and what to watch for in a game of clashing styles. In general there are a ton of tactical and scheme advantages that both teams will work to ensure fall their way, but managing the moment and executing within it on DIII’s grandest stage will be equally important.The episodes concludes with a quick conversation with Tufts head coach Casey D’Annolfo, as well as a reminder to tune in to last week's episode to hear from Coach Webster on how the Red Devils have turned things around.

On Tuesday, veteran sportswriter S.L. Price released his latest book called "The American Game: History and Hope in the Country of Lacrosse." Published by Grove Atlantic, it tells "the scintillating story of lacrosse — the game invented by the Haudenosaunee, played with more passion than any other, that stubbornly mirrors America’s ongoing struggle with inclusivity."

About a month before the book's release, he talked to IL CEO Terry Foy about some of the most pertinent topics — like what drew him to lacrosse and why he wanted to write a book about the sport — to his opinions on some of the most pertinent forward-looking questions — like whether he thinks the Haudenosaunee will be invited to LA28.

Learn more about the book here, and purchase it on Amazon here.
