  • Episode 19

    Welcome everyone to the 19th installment of Students of the Game. Let’s start things off with facts: all New York football team that isn’t the Bills sucks. While on the topic of sucking, there are way too many coaches in the league that also suck and need to be fired, like Bill O’Brien. We swing into the divisional series in the MLB and how the class sees the playoffs going from here on out. The NBA Finals is still anyone’s game with the Miami Heat taking Game 3, which had some choice words being thrown around by some of their star players. We randomize our “beverage” reviews this week which brought on some interesting opinions for some classmates’ drink of choice. The NHL wraps up our content for the week with Dr. Harry Phd, who had some trouble remembering how the Tampa Bay Lightning won it all. As always, we close out with some Sports Trivia and another round of Just a Minute with Ryan who throws a new curveball into the rules that you won’t wanna miss.

    Hello everyone, Mike here welcoming you to Episode 11 of Students of the Game! We are back from our week off in Ocean City and thankfully all of us made it out of Seacrets and a quick hurricane alive.

    Let's get things going, we started off with who’s Hot and who’s Not in the MLB along some other heated events that transpired over this last week. We move on the NFL where the class expresses its disgust with the NFL top 100 and we give our Fantasy RB picks for this coming year. Then on to the Bubble and the NBA, which loves to give us spiciness in regards to players trying to breach quarantine. DR. Harry PhD gives as a solemn inside the NHL as his beloved Rangers were swept under the rug with ease to start the playoffs. Today’s beer had a unanimous consensus on how pungent it was. We cap things off with snippets from the PGA tour, our weekly History Trivia, and peculiar games with Ryan that leave us cringing and possibly internally bleeding this week.

    On the mics today are John and Buns our two sports specialists, myself, Nick, Dr. Harry PhD, Jw and Ryan.

    Now without further ado class is officially in session.
