Tobacco Road Sports Podcast

We talk about the NCAA title game, pick a Major League Baseball team to follow and discuss why is it that the Masters is golf's biggest tournament. Plus, a round of "Buy, Sell, or Hold" including a "Buy, Sell or Hold" on "One Shining Moment".

We talk about the first two rounds of the NCAA Men's College Basketball tournament and breakdown the action to come.

We break down the bracket.

The ACC men's basketball marquee event started yesterday in the traditional way: With four lousy teams playing somewhere far away, we're not sure where, on a Tuesday in front of nobody. In this edition of the Blooperman Podcast, we discuss the teetering relevance of the proud ACC tournament and tackle a couple of tough buy, sell or holds: Will Virginia's Malcolm Brogdon, the first player to be named ACC Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year in the same season, make it in the NBA? Would you want North Carolina's Roy Williams to be your coach in five years? We also dive into a dramatic final Saturday of the regular season that started with Miami's epic choke at Virginia Tech that paved the way for Carolina to clinch the league title at Duke. Is Brogdon an all-time Cavalier and ACC great? Can anybody but UNC or Virginia cut the nets in D.C. this weekend (oh, we knew where it was – we're professionals)? What are the NCAA tournament prospects of conference members who aren't on probation (welcome back Syracuse! See you, Louisville!) or who aren't actively awful (what the hell has happened to N.C. State, Wake Forest and Georgia Tech?) Finally, we revisit how much The Revenant sucks, but we're not sure Spotlight should have won either, and we rate Chris Rock's performance. We demand art, people, and we're not getting it!

We talk with Edwin Arnaudin, movie critic for the Asheville-Citizen Times, about what makes a move Oscar worthy and whether "The Revenant" would have been better off if it had stuck closer to what actually happened Hugh Glass.

We recap our Super Bowl predictions, share our takes on 1st Duke UNC Men's basketball game and do a round of "Buy, Sell or Hold" on the future of the NFL as America's favorite sport.

In this episode of the Blooperman Podcast we explore the location of the Super Bowl, we do our best to predict the score and then make our Super Bowl prop bets including how many times "dab" or "dabbing" will be said during the broadcast.

What is it about Cam Newton? The NFL's best player has lived up to every expectation you could possibly have of a quarterback picked No. 1 overall, but with his rise to national sports icon and unquestionably the biggest star in Charlotte sports history (sorry, Grandmama) has come a significant backlash: Turns out, a lot of people really don't like Cam Newton. But why? He doesn't get arrested. Hasn't gotten hurt. Hasn't whined. Hasn't converted his giant signing bonus into a giant gut. All he's done is get better and better as the Carolina Panthers have won more and more games. In Episode 1 of the Blooperman podcast, we examine today's NFC Championship at snowy Bank of America Stadium, belly flop into the psychology of both Newton and his detractors, and give our predictions for who will make it to the Super Bowl.
