Sticks In

We're back! Time to get back to the regular podcast cadence, and we're into it today with some updates in the pro lacrosse world. First, we talk some Alpha Lacrosse League.   We get into the original article from the Sticks In site, and cover some of the things that have happened since then. That includes a fundraiser for the Tewaaraton Foundation, checking into some details around the ALL exhibition game, the podcast episode that was released, and questions that still remain. Then, we get into another hot topic in pro lacrosse, the NLL's broadcast deal. We explore both sides of the coin that is paywalled lacrosse games, the specifics of the NLL's deal with FloSports, and a few of the reasons why it's important to remember that social media isn't real life.

We're wrapping up the 2026 PLL Season! We start with the PLL Awards.  I go through some of the award winners that were different from what was on my ballot, and defend my thinking, particularly when it comes to the Faceoff spot and Coach of the Year. Then, we get into the PLL game itself. Unfortunately the game itself wasn't great. But we break down Denver's struggles in all phases, the Waterdogs shooting the lights out, CJ Kirst's brilliance, and addressing why we don't need to always rush right to historical comparisons for the sake of engagement. Then, we look towards the offseason. We start with what Denver and Philly may have to do to keep their rosters intact, examine why free agency will be hotter than usual this year, call out some names to watch, and talk through some broadcast changes when it comes to the way we watch the PLL.
