Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's finally here! The boys make their last picks of the season to determine once and for all who is worthy of the crown. Personally I think these thoroughbreds are all deserving of the crown...but that would be a triple crown, and that's clearly the wrong sport and the wrong metaphor.

This week on Pocono Record's Wild Kingdom, Mike talks about the stalking patterns of the rare Twitter hyena, Shawn delivers some unimpeachable logic and Zach explores the odd behavior of a threatened Gase.

In a very special episode of the Pride of the Poconos Podcast we discuss, physics, math, boxing, meteorology, trivia, thinly veiled threats, whisky, decimals and catcher's mitts... and we also discuss football picks.

We are barreling towards the end of the season and the boys are in rare form as they start picking prop bets to fill out the cards. I won't say who, but two of them have no faith in 'Saint Nick.' You'll have to listen to find out who they are though.

East Stroudsburg North boys basketball coach Adam Holtzer joins Zach to talk about his upcoming game with his life-long rival and brother Kris Holtzer, head coach of Delaware Valley's boys basketball team, to be played at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn, NY.

Zach, Mike and Shawn spar over their picks as Zach remains in the lead after a particularly troublesome week.

Mike, Zach, and Shawn convene to make their predictions for the coming week in football. This time we find Zach squarely in the lead... [wait, is this right? Are you sure? I really don't want to have to print a correction... Oooookayyy...] With Zach inexplicably in the lead it really goes to show that it is truly anybody's game, and this week, that game is baseball as Mike makes one of his epic cross-sports analogies. Also, in an effort to retake his dynasty, Shawn has been flipping through his Rolodex... [Seriously guys?  No one knows what a Rolodex is anymore!] of athletic trainers and team doctors to find some inside info and give him a much needed edge.

Stroudsburg's new head boys basketball coach Matt Gallagher sits down with Zach and special guest Jon DeJesus, former head boys basketball coach at East Strousburg North and current assistant coach at Blair Academy for a talk about the nuts and bolts of high school basketball and the history that the coaches share in Monroe county.

The boys are glad that that insipid lens slinger isn't actually part of the contest after he bested them all last week, but they continue unbowed and undeterred. This week Mike continues his tradition of mixing sporting metaphors by comparing Alabama to Tiger Woods, Shawn licks his wounds and starts picking his line to regain the lead, and Zach sticks to his guns in spite of overwhelming evidence that (at least) one of his picks is ill-advised.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Shawn takes a sharp drop in the rankings as Mike takes the Lead and Zach sneaks into second place. Will this be a temporary setback or is Shawn's dynasty in peril?
