The Beat of Sports

After watching Chris Paul and the Thunder get bounced out of the NBA Playoffs last night it got Scott thinking about players that he thinks that deserve an NBA title.

Last night we had two fantastic finishes in the NBA Playoffs and Brendan Suhr joins the show to break it all down. He talks about foul calls that happen in the final seconds, the broken play in the Thunder-Rockets game, plus he talks about the hiring of Steve Nash with the Nets.

On Saturday Orlando City SC got the monkey off the back when they took down Atlanta for the first time ever, so what is going right for the Lions? Evan Weston joins the show to talk about that as well as the youth movement we've seen, Oscar Pareja's coaching techniques, and looks ahead to tonights match up with Nashville SC.

This weekend say the end of the season for the Orlando Magic and now attention turns to the offseason, but what moves can be made? Josh Robbins joins the show to talk about how the front office can make improvements, the continued growth of Markelle Fultz, and will Chuma Okeke be counted on next season.

It isn't often but we've got an Academy Award winner joining the show as Andrew Hawkins talks about his upcoming show "Dodgeball Thunderdome" premiering this week. He talks about that, his involvement in an Oscar winning animated short, and more.

If you thought the football plans in college football were different than what is happening in high school football you would be incorrect. Marc talks about the interesting plans that Orange County is doing when it comes to football players, basically bubbling them from the other students at the school BUT this is different what neighboring counties are doing.

Its been a wild day just for college football news and Marc runs through it all. We learned what the vote was for the Big Ten to not play football this fall, UCF announces plans for having fans in the stands, and Nick Saban faces backlash for marching with his players.

Maybe the Big Ten thoughts when it made its decision to not play football in the fall others would follow. They could be viewed as the leaders of a decision others were not willing to be first. After all, they are the Big Ten. A league that prides itself on its history, academics, prominent alums and football. But then something happened.

The past few seasons we've seen a rise in college football coaching salaries, not just for the head coaches but also other members of the staff. So should there be a cap on those salaries?

Another day and another Jacksonville Jaguar player is on the way out as Leonard Fournette was released by the team. Marc talks about how a player like Fournette who decided to skip out on the his final bowl game LSU helped show players that is okay to sit out games with on eye on playing in the NFL.
