The Sandwich Corner

Chris and Dave are back for this week's "NBA Report" which focuses on inner team turmoil.  The Cavs held a closed door meeting with firery emotion after losing 10 of 14.  Tensions between the Spurs and Kawhi Leonard are high after failed attempts at Leonoard's rehab.   The Wizards are finding John Wall a difficult team mate and were recently called out by Mavericks' guard J.J. Barea.  LeBron hits 30,000 career points after congratulating himself earlier in the day, plus other oddball stories.  Later, a look at more trade rumors including the Hornets' intentions to put Kemba Walker up for trade, more creative ideas for a difficult to generate Cavs trade, possibly involving Kevin Love.  Lastly, a look at the NBA All Star Reserves announced on Tuesday night.

John, Andy, Ron, and Dave return to recap a wild divisional round in the NFL featuring a miracle win for the Minnesota Vikings, an Eagles upset of the Falcons in Philadelphia, and a shootout in Pittsburgh where the Jaguars shocked the Steelers.  We look ahead to the two conference championships: Jaguars/Patriots and Vikings/Eagles.  Predictions and other thoughts to follow, plus some college football coaching news.

Chris and Dave take on this week's NBA Report with a near-melee at Staples Center between the Rockets and Clippers as Chris Paul, making his first trip back to LA since going to the Rockets, Trevor Ariza, Blake Griffin, Austin Rivers, and others stir up emotions and nearly bring the two teams to blows.   Dave breaks down the confrontation in an otherwise dominant Clippers win against old team mates.   Next, a look at the Warriors continued mastery of the Cavaliers in a particularly dismal finish at the Q.  The Cavaliers are left asking questions and begging for more help via the trade, as several players ask for improvements anonymously.   Then we begin our first in a series of Trade Deadline discussions and Dave and Chris present our most likely trade candidates, possible destinations, and salary cap implications.

The Football Picks Panel returns to recap a tremendous CFP Championship Game where Alabama rolls the dice and switches QB's at halftime to come back and win over Georgia in Overtime.   Andy, John, Ron, and Dave look at a title game with a slow start and a torrid finish.   Later we look at the NFL's truly WILD card weekend, and a preview of the divisional round games: Falcons/Eagles, Titans/Pats, Jags/Steelers, and Saints/Vikings.

Chris in Georgia re-joins Dave for latest NBA Report.  This week we cover defensive efficiency in the NBA, the Hawks pit of misery, LeBron's worst performance of the year in Minnesota, the Lakers battle with Lonzo Ball's Dad Lavar Ball, more on upstart teams, NBA City Jerseys, and much more.

Chris in Syracuse returns for the 2018 College Basketball Primer show.  We look at each of the conferences in Division I college basketball, plus cover some season storylines.  This year we look at the early season PK80 tournament featuring many Nike-sponsored teams like Duke, Florida, Ohio State, and Gonzaga.  We also look at the parity in this year's game, with the Number One team losing every week, plus a look at the current #1, Villanova.

Who will be the possible sleepers in the NCAA Tournament this year?  We look at that and much more from College Hoops in 2018.

Dave brings back Oomer, Rollins, YOTS, and TR to reflect on Mike Francesa's final show on WFAN.   We chat about the final week of shows, Mike's legacy to sports, and radio, and share our personal reflections on Mike's legacy, the rise and fall of Mongo Nation, the Mike Francesa.com, a message board devoted to following "Francesa on the FAN," and the future, both for Mike and WFAN.  Here are special guests scheduled for this Francesa tribute:

YOTS (John in Stamford): A frequent collaborator both on the DITCOW podcast and administrator at themikefrancesa.com, a website that tracks and comments on Mike's shows daily, along with other programs on WFAN.  Believe it or not, his favorite team is the Los Angeles Chargers!  He also likes the Yankees and Lakers.

Oomer in Rockland: He is the man behind @ordiomongo on Twitter, formerly @WFANAudio.   His daily links to Mike Francesa clips and moments from his WFAN shows sparked a revolution and brought rise to Mongo Nation, a viral Mike Francesa fanbase that represented the most dedicated fans of the program.  In addition he has been an Admin for themikefrancesa.com.  While a NY area native, Oomer's favorite team is the Chicago Bulls.

Timmy Russo (TR): The Administrator behind themikefrancesa.com, chief moderator of threads and posts.   Timmy is a proud NJ resident who is true to his alma matter, Rutgers University.  He also roots for the Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Eagles.

Rollins College 4 Life: The man behind @WFANTrades on Twitter, a twitter account designated for tracking outrageous trade proposals by WFAN callers.   He also was an Admin at themikefrancesa.com .  Currently Rollins lives in Georgia and is a huge Mets, Giants, and Rangers fan.

A full hour-plus show of memories and moments.
