Makings of a Varsity Athlete

Hope y'all missed us. Quick episode to get back into the swings as things, as we discuss everything college football. Talking points including where we went right and wrong with our previews of the Power 5 conferences, and some Heisman candidates we like moving forward

College football is officially underway, as we finally take a breath of fresh air and enjoy some football for the first time in a while. We talk Week 0 of the season, specifically Miami vs. Florida and if each team saw a rise or dip in stock. We wrap up our previews for the Power 5 conferences with the Big 12 and the Pac 12, and Joe has a specific hot take for the Big 12 favorite. We also take a quick look at Thursday night's Week 1 games to finish the episode

College football starts this weekend, which means the previews just keep coming. Is Alabama the best team in the country? Will Georgia contend for a national championship? Will the field be able to compete with Alabama and Georgia? We break it all down for you along with impact players for each team this season. We wrap it up with who we like to win the Heisman Trophy, including names like Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Fields, and some darkhorses that Joe thinks can make some noise.

College football rolls on here at LRT as we break down the entire Big Ten Conference. Main talking points include who the front runner should be for the West side of the conference, Justin Fields at Ohio State, and will Michigan live up to the hype? We give our takes and predictions for the landscape of this powerhouse conference.

It's college football season, and we are here to cover all of it. We start our conference previews in the ACC, where arguably the best team in college football resides in Clemson. We talk about the Tigers, some dark horses, and teams we don't see exceeding expectations.

It's been a while, but we are back. Lots to catch up on as we start with all the buzz surrounding the MLB Trade Deadline, including teams making big deals like the Astros, Reds, Marlins, and more. The NFL is officially back, as training camp is in session with a couple of key holdouts in Melvin Gordon and Ezekiel Elliott. We talk about that and the most recent news of Michael Thomas securing $100 million from the Saints. We wrap it up with a potential new segment where we react to some social media posts on hot topics in sports, as we break down the Jeremy Lin sob story and LeBron James losing his mind at an AAU game.

It was a long and much needed break, but we are back with a big episode for you all. We start off with the biggest NBA news, as Kawhi Leonard finally signed with the LA Clippers and the news of Russell Westbrook potentially being traded before the start of the season. We breakdown what it all means and who we see as the real championship contenders. MLB All-Star week has come and gone, with one of the most electric home run derbies we have seen in recent memory. Lastly, we talk about the USWNT winning the world cup and the debate that has stirred up online about their right for equal pay.

It's a massive back to back episode here as we bring on our favorite guest Tom Crincoli to discuss all the signings and trades of the NHL offseason, including the quick Devils & Rangers rebuilds, the Maple Leafs going all in this season, and some other teams who deserve some discussion. We also get into the AL and NL roster selections for the MLB All-Star game, which includes a rant from Joe on why Gleyber Torres should have been included. Lastly, the conclusion of this episode is absolute banana lands, we will keep it at that.

Huge episode here as we go through almost every single move made since free agency opened in the NBA on Sunday night. We get into the Nets huge moves, the Knicks disappointing signings, and go rapid fire with some teams we thought have done a great job so far. We wrap it up with a couple of rants (more like venting) which includes our beloved Knicks and some baseball.
