LAST WORD RADIO

Alex and Chace are now officially finished their season preview series and today, want to look at some NHL Storylines heading into the season. Items they want to keep an eye out for as the season progresses. The guys start by discussing the Robin Lehner situation and what he had to say this weekend. From there, they also break down the Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes contracts. Mixed reviews are in, but maybe not because of the contracts themselves? Alex and Chace discuss a few items of their own too before jumping into the interview.

Finally, Greg Wyshynski of ESPN joins Alex and Chace and they go through some more NHL Storylines. Including Seattle, New Jersey, Vancouver and more. Greg gives his opinion on all of the divisions and the guys go back and forth with him. See what Greg has to say about the league as a whole including the new coverage coming to ESPN this season.

What's up Internet? This week on Last Word SC Radio, Matt, Dan, and Harvey get together to look ahead to the Concacaf October World Cup Qualifiers, focusing on our USMNT Jamaica preview. 

The trio starts by discussing the disturbing news coming out of the NWSL with the sexual misconduct from Paul Riley. We try to make sense of how this happened and where the league and WoSo go from here.

Then we get to the international window. Dan breaks down the three games for the United States, what to expect and what could happen. Matt discusses why that Honduras vs. Jamaica game at the end of the window Harvey thinks the time is now for El Salvador. Also, it could be a tough three games for Canada. 

We finish the show off with USMNT Pick 'Ems and Last Words. 

Unfortunately, the major story this week in American soccer is one that involves allegations of verbal and emotional abuse and sexual coercion that have led to the firing of not only former North Carolina head coach Paul Riley, but also former Washington Spirit head coach Richie Burke. This has now gone a step further with Lisa Baird now becoming the former commissioner of the league as well.

Sean Garmer and Erik Watkins discuss the delicate topic, why the league got it wrong on so many levels, and what they are starting to do to ensure it doesn't happen again.

The United States Men's National Team also had their World Cup Qualifying squad announced for the next round of games against Jamaica, Panama, and Costa Rica. The guys go over the roster, some surprises, and if there are any major snubs too.

Plus, Supporters Club, the Manchester United minute, and what's a bigger disappointment Bayern Munich or Real Madrid from this week?

In this episode of the Necessary Roughness Podcast, host Nikolas Donadic dives into the NFL regular season’s Week 4 matchups.  He also gives his take on the Ravens buzzer-beating “win” over the Lions, touches on the Rams sending a message against the Bucs, and rants about the fact that the 49ers (allegedly) chose Jimmy Garoppolo over Tom Brady. Enjoy the show and join us next Saturday for the following episode!

Alex and Chace are back with their final preview of the season. This week, it is the 2021-22 Pacific Division. Today, they continue their Western side of things after the Central division last week. As always, they break things up into tiers. Starting with the bottom tier which focuses on teams that have no chance of making the playoffs. Purely rebuilding teams that know they will most likely be bad this season.

From there, they take a look at the teams that have more hope. Ones that certainly want to try and win. Because of how open this division is, at least one of these teams will make the playoffs which aren't the same as some other divisions they guys have previewed. However, that leaves them with two more teams to discuss. One they believe will certainly be first. The other is a bit more open as to how things go this season. Tune in to find out where they have each team ranked in the 2021-22 Pacific Division standings.

What's up Internet? This week on Last Word SC Radio, Dan and Rachael get together to discuss the USMNT October roster for the next round of World Cup Qualifiers. 

The duo start out by discussing recent MLS news. They discuss the full roster including some key inclusions and exclusions. Apparently everything's cool with Weston McKennie now? We finish out the show with MLS Buy, Sell, Hold and Weekend Pick 'Ems. 

Is it possible that Cristiano Ronaldo could be the next Manchester United manager when his playing career finally ends? Or is this just speculation of the highest order since once again Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is under fire for recent results?

Major changes are happening all over the landscape when it comes to CONCACAF competitions as the CONCACAF Champions League changes again and now the League Cup expands to include every single MLS and Liga MX team. Plus, there's also a 2nd division Women's League in the works too.

All this plus Luchi Gonzalez fired at FC Dallas in our headlines, Supporters Club, and our biggest winners and losers as well.

In this episode of the Necessary Roughness Podcast, host Nikolas Donadic dives into the NFL regular season’s Week 3 matchups. He also discusses why the Ravens win over the Chiefs could stand to give them a mental edge, touches on Aaron Rodgers’ bashing of his “critics,” and weighs in on if the Panthers are bound to be contenders or pretenders. Enjoy the show and join us next Saturday for the following episode!

Alex and Chace are back for part three of their preview series. Today, they preview the 2021-22 Central Division. Just like the Atlantic and Metro, they split teams up into different tiers. Ones they expect to be competing for the division title, wild card, outside the wild card and rebuilding. 

In this episode, one team is so bad they need to make an extra tier. It likely won't come as a shock as to which team that is, unless you forget they have switched divisions. A big part of the discussion for some of the middle teams is how big of a chance they may have to grab a wild card, even if they're not actually good. Next week, they will look at the Pacific division but that's a big reason why. 

Follow as the guys break down what every team in this division has in store for them. As well, let both Alex and Chace know what you agree or disagree with about their rankings. Tune in for all of this and more, with the MnM Hockey Podcast.

What's up Internet? Matt, Dan, and Rachael are back this week for another episode of Last Word on Soccer. We discuss the dismissal of Luchi Gonzalez and try to make sense of the Concacaf bomb that is the new Leagues Cup format. The trio analyzes the USL Super League and its impact on the USWNT and NWSL.
