  • Episode 114: Toby Basner - Former MLB Umpire

    Most of us who go through sports, have a "love/hate" relationship with the officials. They are truly there to do their job and help support the integrity of the game, but often times they get a lot of heat for the calls they either make or don't make (just ask the New Orleans Saints).

    It's tough to be an official, especially at the highest level. Today we speak to a former MLB Umpire about his journey being on the field and making calls.

    We'll discuss the stressful situations they are in, whether or not they should have to report to the media, the ejections that he's made, best ballparks he's been to, etc.

    Toby Basner floated through the minors and majors for six years as an umpire and has quite the story to share with the rest of us. Make sure to listen up.

  • Bonus Episode - June 3rd, 2019 - NBA Finals Recap for Games 1 and 2

    These Finals are strange... Just strange so far. Probably because I'm still trying to get used to the Cavs not being there and I'm trying to get used to a series that I thought the Raptors didn't stand a chance in originally.

    Game 1 - Raptors shocked the world and came out swinging.

    Game 2 - Warriors answered with some minor adjustments and big games from some role players.

    Why is Steve Kerr such a good coach? Who was the "X" Factor for the Warriors? What to expect moving forward?

    All this and more on this bonus episode of the show!
