The Sandwich Corner

Week 8 kicks off with Ron, Andy, John, and Dave all on the air this week with a preview of a couple solid NFL matchups including Tua's debut game for the Dolphins against the Rams.   We also preview Steelers/Ravens and 49ers/Seahawks.  Later, we give a nod to the Group of Five and give some love to the Sun Belt, AAC, and Mountain West as we look at their big games of the week.  Coastal Carolina tries to keep their Top 25 berth alive against Georgia State while Cincinnati battle Memphis in the AAC.  That plus our picks in both NFL and NCAA Action.  Sherrin offers the guest picks via the text and Dave reflects briefly on the Dodgers World Series clinch, along with Justin Turner's bad decision to join the team on the field while positive with COVID19.

"Parcells Falling Out" joins the panel for the Week 6 picks as the guys recap an absolutely wild Red River game between Texas and Oklahoma.  It looked like an easy Oklahoma victory until deep into the fourth quarter when the Longhorns rallied, then forced multiple overtimes.  We also recap the Raiders' exciting upset win over the Chiefs in Kansas City and the rest of the NFL action in Week 5.   Later it's back to the picks as the panel try to continue their recent success.   PLUS: Dave opens with quick thoughts on the Lakers' 2020 Championship clinch.

Jim in NJ (Dan Tullis) joins the panel for the Week 5 Football Picks as we cover a growing amount of uncertainty in the NFL.  The Titans, already with a game postponed, reveal new positive COVID tests and, even worse, were outed for staging a covert practice despite the NFL COVID protocol restricting practices after positive tests.  Further, COVID drama reached Kansas City when Patriots DB Stephen Gilmore unwittingly hugged Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes after their unusual Monday Night meeting following Cam's COVID19 positive test.  Beyond the drama, the panel break down the action from Week 4 of the NFL, plus look at College Football's first big showdown in Auburn/Georgia, yet another Big 12 upset with Iowa State beating Oklahoma, and a look ahead to big games between Oklahoma/Texas and Miami/Clemson.   We offer our NFL/NCAA picks of the week as John, Andy, and Dave move closer to Ron atop the standings.

John, Andy, and Dave return for Football Picks Week 4, summarizing yet another wild Sunday in the NFL with the Falcons falling flat a second week in a row, a true shootout between Dak and Russell in Seattle, and offensive domination by the Chiefs on Monday Night in Baltimore.  Ron sends his picks via text while Gerry fm. Piscataway offers text guest picks.  We look towards more SEC action in College plus the first COVID outbreak in the NFL.  The Titans had 8 persons identified, possibly more, with the virus.  Do the NFL postpone their game and the game for the last Titans opponent, the Minnesota Vikings?  All this and more on a jam packed football show.

It's Week 3 in our picks contest and Mike in North NJ joins Ron in NJ, Andy in Seattle, John in CT, and Dave in the City for our Football Recap in the NFL and our 2020 U.S. Open Recap.    The Cowboys rally back in unlikely fashion aginst the Falcons - or would one say the Falcons melted down like crazy?  Later, we cover Bryson DeChambeau's great win at the U.S. Open, and other performances from the weekend at Winged Foot Golf Club.

Tom in NJ returns to Footall Picks with Andy, John, and Dave to pick all the big games from the NFL's Week 2, plus we preview the games of the week, including a potentially wild Saints vs Raiders opener at the new Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.  Later, we look ahead to the U.S. Open for Golf at Winged Foot Golf Club.   John, Andy, and Dave offer their predictions for the tournament, plus Ron in NJ has his football picks via the text.

Dave presents a brief introductory podcast to the Football Picks contest for 2020.  As the panel could not make it on air, Dave presents the picks via text and demonstrates some of the new features for this year's contest.  One of the features is the "Total of the Week" where folks on the panel can nominate their favorite Over or Under play from the week's schedule.  Later, a look at the upcoming featured games in the NFL and some highlights from last week's college action as we gear up for our first Pandemic-Related Football year.

 

PROGRAM NOTE: There are two slight dropouts during this podcast due to technical issues at the studio.  Each dropout was less a second toward the front end of this recording.

Kevin on the Cape returns to DITCOW as he and a couple others do our latest  "Random Questions" show.  On this program, we went live to YouTube to chat about the NBA, Daily Fantasy Sports, and a number of big losses in sports: Lute Olson, John Thompson, and Tom Seaver.  We also chat about the great Chadwick Boseman who starred in "Black Panther" and "42" among other fine movies as he died the previous weekend.  Later bring in Oh Baby (Jordan) for his podcast debut and bring back Santoro.  The crew get into some other random potpourri like a tribute to Greg Maddux's excellent pitching career, recent allegations outing Ellen's tyrant behavior behind the scenes, the latest Netflix shows like "Peeky Blinders," and a sprinkling of other topics.

Santoro re-joins Dave to continue our conversation about FanDuel strategy, plus recap other stuff around sports, including COVID era baseball, the NBA Bubble, the playoffs in said NBA, and more.  Part of the conversation includes our look at the Lakers' bad machup vs the Blazers and why they could be in legitimate trouble in the playoffs.

Chris in GA rejoins Dave for our first "NBA Report" since the sports shutdown.  We cover the tremendous work that the NBA did in setting up a successful bubble for the remainder of their season.  Later, we look at the best bubble performers during the 8 seeding games each team is playing over the last two-plus weeks.  We get into the great performances of Damian Lillard, Devin Booker, and T.J. Warren.  We also get into the very disappointing outings for Zion Williamson, Joel Embiid, and others.  Later we break down the potentially thrilling play-in qualifier series in the West with the Blazers, Spurs, and Suns in contention.   Lastly we look at top seeds like the Bucks, Lakers, Clippers, and Raptors, and project how things will go in the first round.
