HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Episode 107 of the Rey-Rey Is Fundamental podcast is here. Sorry, it took a bit!

The NBA season is in full swing! And that’s what we’re talking about in our house.

Rosalyn Ross (@RosalynRRoss) is back! She was a writer for The Sports Fan Journal but she’s also an actress and a model.

I catch up with Ros about what’s going on with her. We also talked about the very busy NBA season and the stuff going on and off the court. The Wizards are super dramatic. So are the Warriors. But what about the Grizzlies being first in the West?! Are the Raptors for real? Why do we turn on some NBA players?! Why do we like NBA players that we used to hate?!

Thanks for listening, guysh!

It was a bit of a break but Episode 106 of the Rey-Rey Is Fundamental podcast is here.

In this house, we talked NBA and storytelling! And I talk to one of the best in the biz!

Mirin Fader (@MirinFader) writes for Bleacher Report. She has also written for the Orange County Register, ESPNW.Com, and Sports Illustrated among other things. I truly believe she is one of the best writers in sports media today and she explains her passion about it in this very educational talk.

We talked about her recent stories with Brandon Ingram, the Ball family, and the tragic story of James Ransom. We also talked about the human element in sports, which is overlooked by a lot of fans because all they care about, sometimes, is their team winning. What is up with the art of longform writing? How the heck did Mirin end up in Lithuania to cover the Ball family? What was her reaction to Ingram’s sudden outburst against the Rockets?

Thanks for listening, guysh!

Yo! It took a while but Episode 105 of the Rey-Rey Is Fundamental podcast is here.

In this house, we talked NBA! Yay! Also, we know that Week 4 just finished for the NFL but we talked about Week 3 because this was actually recorded last Friday.

Tina Cervasio (@TinaCervasio) of SiriusXM NBA Radio (amongst other things) and former New York Knicks sideline reporter returns to talk about such subjects. What are we looking forward to the most? Is the East Boston‘s to lose? What about the New York teams? Is it just all for naught because the Warriors are going to take it, anyway?

Thanks for listening, guysh!

Whaddup? Episode 104 of the Rey-Rey Is Fundamental podcast is here.

In this house, we talked WNBA Finals, tennis (!!!), and NFL. Who came in the door today?

The always awesome Jaime Maggio (@jaimemaggio) returns to the show for a third time (yay!). She hosts SportsCentral at K-CAL and K-CBS in Los Angeles and you know she’s been a sideline reporter and host for multiple sports events and shows (Undisputed and The Herd) as of late. We talked about Week 1 of the NFL. We also went over the U.S. Open Women’s Tennis Final as well as a bit of the WNBA Finals. Also, why have I not been a diehard NFL fan in the last 4-5 years?

Thanks for listening, guysh!

You know what this is! It’s Episode 103 of the Rey-Rey Is Fundamental podcast.

WNBA talk in the house for this session. So who did I let in the door today?

The outstanding Delmy Barillas (@DelmyBarillas) of L.A. Sports Access stops by for that WNBA talk! We talked about both Game 2s of the WNBA Semifinals and we talked about the effect Elena Delle Donne has on her Mystics team. We also talked about how she got into this business and we may or may not have talked about Michael Jackson (he would have been 60 years old on the day we recorded this show).

Thanks for listening, guysh!

Hey, we’re back at ya with another episode! It’s Episode 102 of the Rey-Rey Is Fundamental podcast.

More WNBA talk in this house. And we bring back an old friend!

The excellent Jasmine Brown (@jasmined_brown) of High Post Hoops (Fansided‘s hub for women’s basketball), WNBAInsidr, and Through The Pen Sports returns for the third time as we talk WNBA Playoffs! We also talked about how WNBA has been hot this year, especially with Skylar Diggins-Smith speaking out about pay disparity. Is one-and-done good for the playoffs? And what about them Washington Mystics, huh?

Thanks for listening, guysh!

Yo, yo. This is Episode 101 of the Rey-Rey Is Fundamental podcast.

Usually, it’s NBA talk in this house. But for this episode, we’re going to dive into a little bit of baseball.

Jessica Kleinschmidt (@KleinschmidtJD) from Cut4 (which is a branch of MLB.Com that shows awesome highlights) and Infinite Jess stops by to teach me Baseball 101 on Episode 101 of the Fundamentals! I asked her how she got started, about her baseball playing days, who are the “fun” baseball players, and, of course, about her experience as a woman in this white male-infested waters of sports media. All that and more in this episode.

Thank you for listening, guysh! Just don’t get her confused with a certain character from TGIF.

It is a milestone episode as we are now at Episode 100 of the Rey-Rey Is Fundamental podcast.

You know the house rules: mostly NBA talk at my place. But it’s the summer so we have a dose of WNBA talk and much more.

Meredith Minkow (@murrminks) from Bleacher Report stops by as we talk a lot of WNBA. There were travel woes for the Las Vegas Aces. I talked about the frustration of some chump in D.C. Has the WNBA really turned the corner this year? And what else do they have to do to keep the momentum going? Of course, as you’ve noticed the pattern this summer, I ask Meredith of her experiences as a woman in sports media and what she has to say to young girls and women that want to get into sports.

Thank you for listening, guysh!
