Time Out with Jenn & Lisa

In the latest and greatest episode of Time Out with Jenn & Lisa, we touch on the Stanley Cup finals and who we expect to win.  Do we agree with each other?  Canadiens are the last Canadian team to win a Cup, way back in 1993, so what are the odds of them upsetting the hot Lightning?  Did the Lightning use too much energy against the Isles?  The Tour de France kicked off this weekend with a crazy Day 1 that included fan interference that caused 75% of the Peloton to go down (and subsequent missing person after they caused the crash) and another major crash that injured a past winner.  Stage 2 is in the books and it looks like it's lining up to be a great tour.  The Olympic Trails are finishing up as we hit 30 days to the start.  Track and Field as well as gymnastics finish out the trials and solidify the USA teams going to Tokyo.  Jenn predicts that women will be more successful at these games than our male participants.  Baseball is the final big topic discussed today, with a lively debate on the double header 7 inning rule and the impact on no-hitters.  The 7th one was thrown this week but we did have 1 more that was tossed as part of a 7 inning double header.  Should it count?

This episode of Time Out with Jenn & Lisa showcases a lengthy discussion on MLB and the recent pitching substance punishment.  This is an ongoing cycle where pitchers have always used substances, so why now?  Why in the middle of the season?  Jenn and Lisa also look at, should a pitcher get the MVP award?  While MLB allows them to be in the voting, should they be atop the voting?  The NHL playoffs are in the semi-finals.  Old school and new school conference finals are taking place.  All of Canada is pulling for Montreal who has a 2-1 game lead (as of 6/19).  Why are the Canadiens doing so well?  Lisa has some thoughts on that one.  The Olympics are 33 days away!  We are very excited even though there seem to be some pretty strict restrictions on who can attend (fan wise).  Check out The '96 Effect on Peacock, worth a watch.

This week's episode we talk about some of the most recent happenings in hockey (the OHL drafted the first woman ever), the NHL playoffs including Jenn's predicted winner.  Lisa talks about "the hit" on Jake Evans, is a 4 game suspension to Mark Scheifele warranted?  Julio Jones was traded, I don't think either of us thought he'd end up where he did.  Who is the real winner in this trade?  Brooks vs Bryson, the PGA has some drama and one of them offered to buy their fans beer.  The Women's College Softball World Series is going on now and well, it's been amazing games.  Who else is on the JMU bandwagon?  *raises hand*  

Episode 24 kicks off with some MLB news, and the dumbest contracts ever in sports!  Scott Kazmir pitched against a team that is paying him a deferred salary.  Say what?  When the Giants pitcher went up against his deferred salary paying Dodgers, how did it go?  Are there more deferred contracts in sports, you betcha.  In NFL news, the next kicker inducted into the Hall of Fame retired, as the points leader in the sport.  Not bad.  Where will Julio Jones end up?  Phil Mickelson won the PGA Championship last week, picking up his 45th PGA Tour wing and 6th Major victory.  There was a scary crowd moment on the 18th hole, but that didn't deter him from buckling down and sinking his putt to win by 2.  NCAA Softball Tournament kicked off last weekend with some surprise winners moving onto the Super Regionals.  Who will take home the crown.  And Jenn makes her pick for the 105th running of the Indy 500, the greatest race.

In this episode of Time Out with Jenn & Lisa, we look at leadership and coaching positions snagged by women.  From Duke University to the Buffalo Bills, women are gaining ground in the business of sports.  6 no-nos in 7 weeks?  Yes, that is on pace to break the single season record for no-hitters in MLB.  Clayton Kershaw has some strong opinions on why this is happening, and you better believe Jenn does too.  Round 1 of the NHL playoffs have started!  Will a Canadian team bring the cup back up North?  Or will a team from the SW take the cup?  Tim Tebow is back in football.  Publicity stunt?  We don't think so.  The Amazing Amy, a NCAA golfer has set the first stepping stone in golf for athletes with disabilities.  A story that will make you smile.  

In this week's episode of Time Out with Jenn & Lisa we talk about MLB, the latest power rankings and the assignment of a future hall-of-famer, Albert Pujols.  Jenn discusses how this may impact those recent mega-contracts and make teams think before inking to longer term deals.  Where, or where, will Mr. Rodgers' neighborhood be.  Lisa has 5 cities, and Jenn ranks them via diva scale...or probability that he will end up there.  NHL finishes up next week, who are the sleepers that could take the cup?  What do we think about Tom Wilson?  Women's basketball had a few items to discuss this week, including the Baylor replacement and how awesome Tonya Edwards is for giving back to her childhood community.  

In this week's episode of Time Out with Jenn & Lisa we discuss the NFL Draft Round 1 results, winners & losers.  It's the day for sports fans without a ball being thrown.  And a day where all teams unite at expressing their feelings toward the Commissioner.   Any surprises in top 5?  You bet?  Any other surprises?  Absolutely.  We break it down, discuss pros and cons and decide the winners, losers and sorta winners.  Kim Mulkey went back home to Louisiana and snagged the LSU basketball job leaving Baylor after 20 years!  Welcome home, Kim.  MLB noteworthy news, well at least to us.  NHL is winding down and Jagr retires...at 49!

In episode 20 of Time Out with Jenn & Lisa, we discuss our MLB surprises both good and bad.  We are surprised by a few teams and there are 2 players that Jenn says to watch how they progress this season.  Can the A's keep winning?  Will the Mariners keep it going?  See what we think.  The NFL Draft is HERE.  In less than a week get ready for the excitement.  Jenn and Lisa discuss their top 10 and also who they think their teams will pick.  Will the Falcons keep that 4th pick?  Or trade it away (New England??)?  Lydia Ko is back, back playing like she's having fun and setting a tournament record at the LOTTE LPGA championship last weekend in Hawaii.  Her game was just as beautiful as the scenery.  NHL Power Rankings!  Guess who is at the bottom.  Red & black.  Jenn wraps up the podcast with a quick recap and discussion on some upcoming 4 wheeled sports: NASCAR, Formula 1, Indy, Formula E.  Good times this week.

In this week's episode of Time Out with Jenn & Lisa, the NHL trade deadline winners and losers are looked at.  Who made the best deal?  Who is in trouble for the rest of the year?  The power rankings had some surprises and some we aren't surprised with, how do we think these trades will impact where teams are now?  Is Vegas headed down the rankings?  NFL Draft is getting closer and closer!  Can 4 QBs be drafted 1-4?  We think there's a strong possibility Atlanta will grab a QB or will the Patriots trade up to be sure to grab one of the top guns?  Where do the rest of the players fall?  MLB Power Rankings seem all out of whack to us, including where the Yankees are.  There's a new 2021 rivalry kicking up this week: Dodgers vs Padres.  Some predictions are on the line for this one.  Lots of racing going on this week, NASCAR, Indy Racing and Formula 1 are all in action.  History happened at The Masters and it will change this player's life forever.  The RBC tournament is in progress now with Stewart Cink leading the way going into weekend play.  Can he hang on?
