Back to the grind this week with vibes high as the boys have a LOT to get into on this episode. Kicking off the show, before any Ravens talk, the boys open up discussing the Wednesday night bombshell of Jim Harbaugh leaving the University of Michigan to coach the Los Angeles Chargers. Josh and Dante dive into exactly what this means for the Chargers looking ahead, what Jim Harbaugh leaving Michigan will look like for the reigning national champions, and how the union of Harbaugh and Herbert will go for years to come. Next, the boys can finally get into the topic at hand. Last Saturday, the Ravens took down the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional round, by a score of 34-10, and punched their ticket to the AFC Championship. Josh and Dante break down the game, the highs and lows, the ultimate headlines as a result of the contest, and as always: Lamar MF Jackson. Hosting the AFC Championship for the first time since 1971, and also the first time in Ravens franchise history, Baltimore will welcome Taylor Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs to town for a chance to represent the AFC in this year’s Super Bowl. The boys take a look at both sides coming into this game - the injury reports, including Mark Andrews AND Marlon Humphrey returning to practice, the unit matchups, and then wrapped up as always with their Keys to Victory. Dante ends the show with his best bets for the NFL conference championship round, and the boys send you into what will hopefully be another incredible weekend of football and life. We cannot thank you all enough for rocking with us this week and every week, and we hope we'll see you again next time. Cheers!

It’s officially playoff time and the boys are back ready to LOCK IN this week. Josh and Dante jump back into the waters of the NFL first recounting the MASSIVE bombshell that came last Thursday morning, with the New England Patriots announcing that head coach Bill Belichick will not be returning. This took our guys by surprise, but maybe a changing of the guard will be worthwhile in Foxborough. Now the question is: where does he end up? Belichick’s parting from the Patriots is followed by the boys recapping the NFL’s super wild card weekend. In the AFC, all the division winners advanced, and the NFC saw one HUGE upset in Jerry World that not many people, including Dante, expected. Moving on to what you’ve all been waiting for, Josh and Dante finally open up their Ravens discussion this week addressing Mark Andrews’ return to practice, and what exactly him being designated to return from IR just 8 weeks after his injury could mean for this team entering their hopeful playoff run. They turn their attention to the task at hand: the Houston Texans. After “upsetting” the Browns in H-Town last weekend, rookie sensation CJ Stroud and head coach Demeco Ryans come into Baltimore looking to continue their monumental rookie year. Josh and Dante take a look at the injuries on both sidelines, how the units of each team match up against each other, and Dante wraps up with his keys to victory for this one. If there’s one thing that all Ravens fans need to do this weekend, is show up and be LOUD at the bank. Dante concludes the show with his best bets of the Divisional round, and sends you all into, what will hopefully be, a great weekend for us all. Cheers!

WELCOME BACK to another episode of the Wave Podcast. Josh and Dante are back and fired up this week, but not without a bittersweet feeling to this week’s show. The NFL playoffs are beginning this weekend, which is great for 14 teams and fan bases around the league, but also signifies that we are rapidly approaching the end of another NFL season and will soon be without football. Josh and Dante kick off this week’s show with a brief look into the coaching carousel.  A number of coaches have already been fired, or “mutually parted ways” with their now former teams, including the biggest shock of the week to this point which was the Titans firing Mike Vrabel. The boys give their thoughts on some of the vacancies and who may be a good fit where. They also tease what will undoubtedly be a deeper discussion on the coaching cycle this offseason to come in future weeks that may, or may not, be headlined with Bill Belichick being out of a job in Foxborough. And above all else, our boys want Mike Macdonald and Todd Monken to be going absolutely nowhere, although the possibility of them moving on for promotions is growing as both coordinators have received interview requests. Moving on to the football that was played (somewhat) this past weekend, the Ravens dropped their season finale 17-10 to the Pittsburgh Steelers, finishing the season 13-4 and capturing their third AFC North crown in franchise history. Obviously the Ravens were without key starters in this one, such as Lamar Jackson and Roquan Smith, but the second teamers did have glimpses of promise as some young guns like Trenton Simpson and Del’Shawn Phillips got to showcase their abilities in what was an ugly and sloppy game in the rain. To conclude Saturday’s affair, the Ravens, for the most part, stayed healthy and are now looking ahead to the postseason. John Harbaugh stated that there were some knicks and bruises resulting from this week’s contest, but nothing that should be too serious moving forward. In other Ravens news, there were some nice little announcements from the front office this weekend as well. The Ravens announced Saturday that they’ve agreed to a 2-year extension with NT Michael Pierce, as well as signing Dalvin Cook to the practice squad on Thursday following his release from the Jets. The boys break down both of these moves and why they’re ultimately very solid moves for the Ravens. Josh and Dante also take one “final” look into this Ravens squad ahead of the postseason officially kicking off, including what is the biggest hole in the team, as well as how this particular group differs from the likes of the 2019 squad. Wrapping up the NFL talk, Dante and Josh go in on the Super Wild Card Weekend matchups, giving their thoughts on the upcoming games and who they could see advancing into the divisional stage. They boys wrap up the show discussing the CFP National Championship giving love where it is due to the Michigan Wolverines after taking down the Washington Huskies 34-13. Coach Jim Harbaugh finally gets the national championship title he’s longed for, and this Michigan team that has battled and fought through adversity all year ends up on top. Josh shares his thoughts on the Michigan program, coach Harbaugh finally lifting the trophy, as well as why the Washington Huskies should feel very optimistic about their future under coach Kalen Deboer. Lastly, all eyes are now on Jim Harbaugh to see if he will stay, or if he’ll make the jump to the NFL as many are predicting. Dante wraps up the show with his best bets for Super Wild Card Weekend, and the boys send you into a fantastic weekend. Cherish the few weekends of football we have left, as they’re becoming fewer and fewer. Cheers to you all, you’re the absolute greatest and we are so thankful for each and every one of you. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR! The boys are ringing in 2024 by celebrating their Baltimore Ravens being the AFC North champions and the official #1 seed in the AFC. Josh and Dante dive right into what was yet another utterly dominant performance by the Lamar Jackson-lead Ravens leading to their third AFC North title in the last ten years. On top of locking up the division and the top seed in the conference, the MVP race is also all but locked up as Lamar Jackson is currently an extremely heavy odds-on favorite to win his second MVP in just his sixth season in the NFL. The boys take a deeper dive into this game against Miami and what led to the ass kicking that ensued, as well as how they feel now that they know the AFC must go through Baltimore. The Ravens also had some pro bowlers announced late Wednesday evening, that Dante and Josh give their thoughts on. Moving into this upcoming week and the end to the 2023 NFL season, the Ravens take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in week 18. John Harbaugh has already announced that Lamar Jackson will not be playing, and instead Tyler Huntley will get the start while Lamar gets a rest week. Josh and Dante give their two cents on the decision to rest Lamar ahead of the bye week with Pittsburgh coming to town, as well as their predictions on who could round out the remaining five “inactives” as there are some guys who are banged up and could use the extra week off. Lastly, Josh and Dante give their brief thoughts ahead of week 18 and Dante’s only key to victory this week against Pittsburgh. They wrap up their NFL talk with some playoff scenarios, who’s hot and who’s not, and what they’re hoping to see as we enter the postseason. To wrap up the show, Josh recaps his trip to Phoenix following his Liberty Flames to the Fiesta Bowl, as well as College Football Playoff Semifinal talk. Lastly, the boys preview Monday’s National Championship, Dante gives his NFL week 18 best bets, and they send you all into another fantastic weekend. Thank you all for joining, and we can’t wait to rock this year with you all by our side. Cheers!

The boys are back for the last time in 2023 to recap the Ravens absolutely SMACKING the San Francisco 49ers on Christmas day. In all facets of the game, the Ravens were dominant for the vast majority of the contest en route to a 33-19 dub over the NFC-leading Niners. Josh and Dante dive into their ultimate thoughts and feelings on this game, and where this one leaves the Ravens as they have to quickly turn around and face another very good team coming to town on New Year’s Eve. Dante gives his thoughts on the defense, and more specifically, Mike Macdonald throwing everything and the kitchen sink at Kyle Shannahan’s offense. The defensive performance was capstoned by four interceptions of Brock Purdy, and one of Sam Darnold. Kyle Hamilton had yet another incredible primetime performance leading to the question… is he Him? Also, Lamar Jackson is a top 2 QB in the NFL and, spoiler alert, he’s not #2. Josh discusses why #8 is #1, why he should be the league MVP (again) and Dante provides some interesting numbers supporting Josh’s thoughts. Lastly, the boys, rightfully, sing the praises of one John Harbaugh. On a resume already stuffed with big wins and accolades, John Harbaugh adds yet another, this time to the tune of a seventh 14+ point victory over an opponent with a winning record. Moving on from last week, the Ravens have the Miami Dolphins coming to good ol’ Baltimore this Sunday at 1pm. The boys take a look at the headlines surrounding both teams coming into this contest, the numbers in each unit on both sides of the ball, and ultimately the keys to victory for the Ravens in this one. Lastly, Josh and Dante take a quick look at the College Football Playoff which kicks off Monday at 5pm. Both men give their thoughts on each matchup, some bold predictions, as well as who they believe will ultimately lift the CFP trophy in the end. Dante wraps up the show with his best bets for the NFL week 17 slate, and we send you all into the best weekend of your lives. We cannot express how thankful we are for all of you. This year has been one for the books and we don’t say that lightly. Hopefully you’ll continue to rock with us in 2024. See yall next year. Cheers!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Josh and Dante kick this holiday episode off by, very proudly, announcing the new lease agreed upon and signed by the Orioles and the State of Maryland keeping the birds in Baltimore for the foreseeable future. It’s ultimately a 30-year lease that has a bunch of stipulations and parameters included that are contingent upon a number of things that Josh and Dante break down. Continuing with their baseball talk, the boys give some love to new LA Dodger, Shohei Ohtani, after signing his ENORMOUS 10-year $700 million deal. Dante gives his thoughts on the financial aspect of it, and why this is actually genius for both Shohei and the Dodgers. Moving on from the diamond, the boys dive into some pigskin this week starting with the Ravens 23-7 win on Sunday Night over the Jaguars in Duval. The game was won but only at a cost, losing star UDFA rookie running back Keaton Mitchell to an ACL tear. Coach Harbaugh confirmed Monday morning that Mitchell’s season was over and that Melvin Gordon would take his place on the roster. Josh and Dante dive into the highs and lows of this game, including an all-time primetime performance from “L Freaky” Lamar Jackson. Kyle Hamilton once again proved that he’s playing at an all-pro level, even with a knee sprain, and Brandon Stephens continues his stellar season on the outside. Wrapping up this past week’s game and rolling into the next, the boys take a look at some concerns with this Ravens team heading into their Christmas Day matchup with the 49ers. Dante and Josh discuss some headlines on both sidelines, the injuries for each team, and as always dive into the numbers of each unit in this matchup. Bringing it home, Dante gets into his, ever crucial, keys to victory for this week’s game in San Francisco, his best bets for NFL week 16, and the boys send us all into what will undoubtedly be an incredible holiday weekend. Cheers to all of you, happy holidays and Merry Christmas to all! We love you!

On this week’s episode of the Wave Podcast, Josh and Dante kick off the program by giving you all an official reminder that if you haven’t done your Christmas shopping, you need to do it now. And after getting their public service announcement out of the way, they dive into their ball talk of the week. They kick off this week’s sports talk by showing love to the newly minted Hesiman winner, LSU Quarterback Jayden Daniels. Overshadowed by a lackluster surrounding cast, there was nobody more deserving of the honor this year than Daniels, so Josh and Dante rightfully show love to the 2023 Heisman winner. Moving into the NFL, the Ravens were back in action this week and won a THRILLER against the LA Rams, thanks in large part to a walk-off 76 yard punt return TD in overtime from Tylan Wallace. Starting return man Devin Duvernay left the game early with an injury, and with no prior experience returning punts in the NFL, Wallace made the most of his opportunity. Josh and Dante dive into the good and bad from this game, which was again headlined by an extremely quiet near-400 yard performance from Lamar Jackson. Odell Beckham is finally looking like he’s hitting his stride and becoming the receiver that we expected back in May, and much to Dante’s surprise, Nelson Agholor is proving to be extremely valuable to this Ravens offense. As the boys move ahead from week 15, they take a look at the current NFL standings before previewing this week’s Ravens game. The Ravens go into Duval county to take on the Jaguars, who are coming off a tough loss at the hands of the Browns (shoutout Joe Flacco). Josh gives his overarching thoughts heading into this game, and Dante gives his keys to victory. Dante wraps up with his week 15 best bets, and we send you all into another great weekend. Cheers to each and every one of you.

On this week’s episode of the pod, Josh and Dante jump right back into the mix to discuss the looming end to the Orioles’ lease at Camden Yards. Once again, owner John Angelos has found a way to insert himself into the headlines when they should be about almost anything else. Both Josh and Dante discuss their thoughts on what should be a relatively easy solution, but ultimately plea to just figure it out and end the madness. Moving on, last weekend was conference championship weekend in the NCAA, and before addressing the CFP decisions, we have to show our love to Josh’s Liberty Flames for beating New Mexico State and earning a New Year’s Six bowl appearance vs Oregon. We’re super happy for and proud of OUR Flames and can’t wait for new year’s day. The boys get into the power five conference championships and discuss how they feel about the decisions made by the CFP committee and not allowing Florida State into the playoff. Lastly on the college football front, the boys show their Maryland heritage by issuing an official “go Navy beat Army” decree. Finally getting to this upcoming weekend, the Ravens are back and back at the bank for a matchup against the LA Rams. Josh and Dante discuss headlines coming into this game, and that the Rams may actually be better in this matchup than most are giving them credit for. Dante runs down his numbers on either side of the ball for both teams, and gives his keys to victory. Josh lays out his must-have’s for the Ravens in this game, and we send you all into what will hopefully be a fantastic weekend. Thank you all so much for your constant support. We love you. Cheers!

The boys are back after the Thanksgiving holiday week with an extra pep in their step celebrating not only another Ravens win, but a Loyola Dons win as well. Josh and Dante kick off this week’s show recapping their Thanksgivings and the lovely holiday weeks they had. They also start the sports talk by breaking down their alma mater Loyola Blakefield Dons getting another Turkey Bowl win over their cross-town rival Calvert Hall Cardinals. The player of the game was none other than Dons running back Kendrick Worthington, who had over 200 total yards and three touchdowns en route to the Dons bringing the Turkey Bowl back to Blakefield. Moving into the professional game, the Ravens took down the Chargers in LA on Sunday Night Football 20-10, but it was not the win that many of us wanted. The offense was abysmal, but thankfully the defense more than made up for it with, what Dante believes is, their best performance to date this season. Josh and Dante delve into why this offense feels “broken” and lacks the flow that we thought we would have by now. Also, maybe a bigger topic of conversation following this game: what on earth were Todd Monken and John Harbaugh doing? Dante and Josh are firmly in the “we are John Harbaugh guys” camp, however coach Harbs did not do himself any favors with this performance. One of our hosts believes this may be his worst coached game as the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens. The boys examine the coaching and decision making blunders by the head coach and offensive coordinator, and ultimately what needs to be fixed on the other side of this bye week. There’s no game to preview ahead of this weekend so the boys talk some more college football. Last week in the NCAA was the beloved rivalry week headlined by none other than the treacherous Michigan vs. Ohio State rivalry, in which the boys in the big house got a win yet again over the Ryan Day-lead Buckeyes. Some other action in the NCAA as well from last week that carry big CFP implications including Alabama winning a nail biter in the Iron Bowl, Oregon stomping Oregon State in the Civil War, and Washington narrowly escaping defeat in the Apple Cup. The boys take a look ahead of Conference Championship week and the potential chaos that could ensue ahead of the SEC championship between Alabama and Georgia, PAC-12 championship rematch of Oregon and Washington, as well as some small school fighting for New Years 6 Bowls like Josh’s Liberty Flames. Dante gives some of his early best bets for NFL Week 13, and we send you all into another fantastic weekend of sports and life. We love you all so much and cannot thank you enough for joining us on this ride. Have one on us this weekend. Cheers to you!

IT'S THANKSGIVING WEEK! Josh and Dante are back this week to recap a good weekend as Ravens fans, but before doing that, the boys have to show love to Orioles manager Brandon Hyde for winning the 2023 AL Manager of the Year award. There's no other manager in the MLB that's more deserving than Hyde, and the boys are fired up for Hyder as well as the future of the organization under he and Mike Elias' leadership. Moving on to this week of football, the Ravens get a big win on Thursday Night Football over the Bengals 34-20. Mark Andrews and Joe Burrow unfortunately suffer season ending injuries in the first half, but the Ravens answered the bell and responded with a great second quarter, and dominant second half. Odell Beckham was out there making plays on his was to a 100+ receiving yard day, as well as Nelson Agholor and Rashod Bateman doing their thing and finding the endzone on the way to the win. Looking ahead to week 12, the Ravens go into Los Angeles to play the Chargers on Sunday Night Football. The Chargers are coming off a three point loss in Green Bay, in which they lost star edge rusher Joey Bosa to an injury, and head coach Brandon Staley is getting snarky with reporters about defensive play calling duties. Josh gives his thoughts on this game, and Dante dives into the numbers of each unit in this matchup. Lastly, both of the fellas give their keys to victory for the Ravens to come back home with win number 9 on the year. College football rivalry week is HERE, and the boys are giving their favorite rivalries and best games to look out for this weekend, as well as their thoughts on the three game suspension for Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh. Lastly, Dante gives his NFL week 12 best bets and sends you all into a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. HAPPY THANKSGIVING YALL!
