BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORKWelcome back to Samoans talking sports. We're getting hyped about NASA's latest lunar flyby while also discussing the NBA's trips to Memphis, TN, our "holy grail" cards/comic/activities/shoes, why it's important to pronounce Samoan names properly, and also how our show and discussions are more PTI than Stephen A Smith's First Take. Not a lot of orchestrated confrontation and yelling, instead you can expect thought-out topics, relevant stats and info, along with our very apparent sports-fandom biases lol. Thanks for your time and support! Stay tuned to the end for a future guest tease. Email us at ballinesian@gmail.com or DM us on Instagram or TikTok at Ballinesian.

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORKWelcome to the Ballinesian Podcast! We are Samoans talking about Sports. Today we're speaking with Coach Forest on how coaching works at different levels, what it was like coaching in American Samoa and winning high school championships, and the historic coaches that stand out when thinking about March Madness and the NCAA Basketball Tournament (John Wooden, Coach K, Roy Williams, etc.). Single-elimination tournaments always make for wildly entertaining matchups and finishes and the NCAA Tournament is cemented as one of the biggest and most memorable stages in all of sports. We'll also discuss Pitt F Roman Siulepa's move from Australia national team and NBL to pursuing an NIL contract in US College Basketball, and how that might open the door to other international athlete's joining US collegiate sports because of the money they could be paid.Thanks for tapping in, and make sure to leave a comment for your hot takes, questions or any shout outs you want to make on the show. Or message Ballinesian on IG or TikTok, or email at ballinesian@gmail.com. Stay hydrated, stay blessed, stay Ballinnnnn.

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORKWelcome to an hour-long distraction from the newest US War. We are Samoans talking sports, covering the biggest Pacific Islander athlete and sports stories of the week. We talked about former Chargers DL Breiden Fehoko last Twitter post, where he lambasted the league's response to a player's death by suicide as hollow and insincere, saying "they post these mental health awareness posts talking about they care about players “don’t be afraid to reach out”etc. All they care about is what you bring to the table when it’s game day". And we're inclined to mostly agree with him. (You can also check out the latest exclusive episode at patreon.com/thepolytickinpodcast for more on that topic from Lance and OhHelloMarcus.)In our main topic for today, we're highlighting the four Pacific Islander offensive lineman that could be picked in the 1st round of next month's 2026 NFL Draft and their Combine testing and measurements.We will also update which players got franchised tagged and are getting PAID (short-term) before last Tuesday's deadline and which did not, opening them up to become free agents in a few weeks.We'll also update the latest on our Book Reading and content plans for that, as well as Coach Forest helping to host a trading card get together for kids.And tune into our shout outs for big ups to our people and for birthday shout outs!

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORKWelcome back to the show for our first episode of the NFL offseason! What are some ways that people play sports that could tell you something about them? Maybe they're a selfish ball hog or a OnCourt Only Bully. Maybe they're a head-down-and-grind role player that you can depend on. Maybe they were a Coach's Kid and can't put up with low standards, or maybe they're a notorious cheat at golf. New segment: "I Read A Book" starts this week with "Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump" by Rick Reilly, the famed Sports Illustrated columnist and golf historian, documenting different ways the President cheats at the sport and his businesses around it. Leave a question or comment below and we'll discuss more. Also, suggest non-fiction or sports books for us to read for this new segment. Thanks!The Raiders are bringing in new coaches to fill out Klint Kubiak's staff. We're in the early part of the season where anything is really possible, so we dream. Also, shout outs to Dame Valerie Adams for making the NZ Sports Hall of Fame, Chelsea Gray for winning the Unrivaled One-on-One championship and to Destanee Aiava for announcing her retirement from her "toxic boyfriend" of tennis. All the best! Leave a comment, hot take, sports question or birthday shout out below or message us on Instagram or TikTok, or email ballinesian@gmail.com.

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORKWelcome to the Ballinesian Podcast, we are Samoans talking sports. This week we're going over the NFL Conference Championships and who made it to Super Bowl LX.The Patriots completed their playoff run against three Top 5 defenses, en route to their first Super Bowl appearance in seven years, by holding the Broncos to 7 points. The Seahawks defense was able to hold the Rams scoreless in the 4th quarter to advance, 24-31, and continue their Revenge Tour. We'll talk about whether the Pats are Super Bowl "frauds" and who the Seahawks real MVP is.There's also news that former Patriots coach Bill Belichick did not garner enough votes to make into the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. We think that's crazy. No one has more rings. What's the HOF criteria anyway? We'll compare Belichick to the other coaches in the Hall, including the three that DID make it in on their first ballot. Thanks for listening!
BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORKWelcome to Samoans talking sports. We'll start with tennis player Destanee Aiava serving up a bodyshamer. Why does the internet talk down and try to make people feel small? Because those typers got their own problems they're ignoring and instead are trying to lash out. Shout out to Destanee for calling them out on her page.In NFL news, the Chargers are signing former Dolphins' head coach Mike McDaniel as their new OC; constant pre-snap motion to help dissect defenses, interior run lanes and cutbacks leading to big play-action passes over the top and just some general weirdness are all things to expect from LAC. We'll roll that into an update on the current NFL Coaching Carousel, including where the Raiders should look to for their next head coach after the market lost John Harbaugh, Kevin Stefanski, Robert Saleh and Jeff Hafley to new jobs with the Giants, Falcons, Titans and Dolphins respectively.We will finish with our picks in Sunday's two Conference Championship games between the Patriots and Broncos and the Rams and Seahawks.
