What The Game Means To Me: A Sports Podcast

In this episode I sit down with Chris Brown ! ... Not the artist, but an intelligent, talented, and hardworking individual in the sports world. We talk about what sports have meant to him and his career path, how he got started working in NCAA Compliance, his consulting firm and pursuing his PhD, and his thoughts and opinions surrounding the news with the NCAA and different conferences outlook on fall football/sports.

In this episode, I cover the latest sports news over the last two weeks, starting off with the return of the WNBA and NBA. I talk about their efforts to continue to push for social change, covid cases popping up in the MLB, NFL news with the upcoming season and opt outs, problems revolving around fall sports in the NCAA and more major sports news.

In this episode, I tread water in a different field of sport, as I talk all things Freestyle Trampolining with the creator, Greg Roe. He talks about this new form of trampolining, how his association is getting the younger generation involved, and how this up and coming sport is growing fast and taking on the world.

For this special 10th episode, I bring on former teammate and little league friend, Jordan Floyd. Being the D2CAA National Player of the Year, holding the record for most points scored in King University History, and signing to play for Orlandina Basket in Italy are only some of his great accomplishments in the sport of basketball and life. In this episode we talk about his college basketball career, what he looks forward to most playing overseas, Makur Maker and players going to play at HBCUs, and the NBA restart.

In this episode I combine the biggest sports stories over the last two weeks (since my recording of last weeks news was a dud) and there's a bunch to cover ! I get into the NFL using the "Black National Anthem" Lift Every Voice before NFL games this fall, WNBA players heriocs and remarkable ideas, NBA Covid Cases News, Makur Maker committing to Howard and starting the HBCU wave, MLB restart news and more, so check it out.

After a two week lay off deciding the direction of this podcast, I discuss my plans to bring more fun, fresh content for you all to enjoy! This week I kick off my "Sports Brief of the Week" episodes where I will be talking about the biggest sports news stories, along with pop culture, entertainment, music, and more (will be included in later weeks). This week I talk about the Kyrie situation with the NBA, all the "perks" players will have/receive in Orlando for the start of the Quarantine NBA season, all the Covid cases popping up in the NFL, college football, and baseball, Bubba Wallace and NASCAR, MLB return and a lot more.
