William is joined by Joe Sieben for their first annual NBA Bright Futures Draft. Each host drafts 5 teams that they think have the brightest futures over the next 5-10 years. Criteria includes: current players, cap flexibility, future draft picks, free agency potential, coaching, culture, etc. 

Armand joins the show to break down the wild NBA Trade Deadline. The two discuss the James Harden deal, its impact on both Philly & Brooklyn, and if the deal will ultimately have any effect on who wins the NBA title. They also talk about the head-scratching Sacramento-Indiana deal that sent Tyrese Haliburton to Indianapolis and Domantas Sabonis to Sactown. Did Indiana accelerate their rebuild? Is Sacramento doomed for years to come? They also discuss the Washington-Dallas deal, a contending team that should have made a move, Memphis staying put, Caris LeVert to Cleveland and more. 

William is joined by Joe Sieben for an episode that was originally planned to be an emergency podcast discussing Jim Harbaugh's move to the Minnesota Vikings. Instead, the two discuss Harbaugh staying and what that means for both Michigan and Minnesota. They also talk about their Super Bowl picks a week and a half out of the game, and the wild NFL playoffs as a whole. They close by giving some picks to win the Stanley Cup. 

William begins the podcast talking about the talent gap issue in College Football and some potential fixes. He also reacts to the Jim Harbaugh NFL rumors. Armand then joins the show to break down the Memphis Grizzlies' massive leap so far this season, early All-NBA teams, the MVP race and Western Conference title contenders. 

Luis joins the podcast as we head down the stretch run in the NFL and the boys discuss the major players in both conferences. Should Green Bay be the Super Bowl favorites? Can New England hold on to the #1 seed in the AFC? What is going wrong in Buffalo? Is Tampa Bay way more beatable than they seem? The co-hosts discuss all of the major NFL storylines following Week 14 and more in this episode of The Critic's Corner.

The dust has settled and we finally have our 4 teams for the College Football Playoff. William reacts to all of the major conference title games from last weekend before breaking down the playoff selection process and the two matchups on New Year's Eve. He also talks about a couple of the recent head coaching moves.

William recaps a wild final week in the College Football regular season, headlined by a dominant Michigan 42-27 win over the Ohio State Buckeyes. He then gives his top-10 rankings heading into Conference Championship Weekend, breaking down every team and the season they just completed. To wrap the podcast, he breaks down an unusual Heisman race that does not include a clear front-runner for the first time in recent memory. He also gives his thoughts on Lincoln Riley's sudden departure from Oklahoma in hopes of rebuilding a struggling USC program.

William is back to talk about all the Yankees' moves since their loss in the Wild Card game on October 6. He gives his thoughts on the Aaron Boone contract, the Yankees' reported willingness to make significant change this offseason, Yankees free agency rumors, the impending MLB lockout, and much more. It is shaping up to be an interesting offseason and William breaks it all down on this episode.

We are back for Part 2 of our early season NBA breakdowns. With the West, the boys discuss if the Warriors are the best team in the NBA, the Lakers gelling pieces, the underrated Clippers led by MVP candidate Paul George, what is going wrong in Memphis, and more.
