College Football's four team playoff era is over, and a new era begins now. Michigan reigns supreme, but is Harbaugh among the upper echelon of coaches in the 2000s? Plus a quick look at baseball's updated standings, free agency updates and so much more!
An episode so massive we had to cut it in half! In this segment, we break down the MLB offseason as a whole and talk Dodgers, the end of the 'Yankee aura,' the Braves going all in and so much more! Plus, we had to include our usual Hot Takes segment - as we do. Be sure to also check out the CFP National Championship game preview in part of the episode!
Another layoff in the books and we're back at it, this time with a preview of the CFP National Championship Game and the state of College Football as a whole. Split up into 2 parts, we talk MLB Hot Stove and all things Dodgers/Yankees/Braves/baseball in general - be sure not to miss that part!
Baseball lost a beloved owner who, hopefully, left the blueprint for how owners should operate - with the fullest intent to win and win now. Plus, a look at the new CFP rankings (spoiler: Dawgs still Dawgs) and whether or not programs like Alabama have staying power long after the likes of Saban retire.
Bryce Harper is a bad dude but apparently the only people who didn't quite get that memo were the Braves. Everyone else knows you just...you can't throw a cookie to Harper. Ever. Oh also, the format isn't the problem and the World Series was fun as hell. So much fun, I'm already impatient about when the next season is gonna start.
BIG 12, PAC 12, SEC, ACC, BIG 10...and none of them will exist in the same form next year. Teams are jumping from conference to conference, leaving us college ball fans very little to do but just shrug our shoulders and try to enjoy it for what it is. It's a truly unmatched tradition, especially in places like the South, but it may be unrecognizable before we know it. Part 2 of our three part return after a 13 month (I know) hiatus. Safe to say we had to break it up because once we start talking, we don't really know how to stop.
Gone for so long we had to divide our latest episode into not one, not two, but THREE parts! In part 1, we dive into the ins and outs of the LIV Golf-PGA TOUR merger, and the general state of golf as a whole. Who knows what the sport looks like 13 months from now (the length of our hiatus), but rest assured we will likely be very very wrong.
Four months into the year is still considered the new year? We preview the Masters, baseball season, the Premier League title decider and bring you so so so so so so many hot takes. After all, it's what we do.
Playoff baseball is back and better than ever. And what's more "playoff baseball" than the Atlanta Braves on the verge of blowing a 3-1 series lead in consecutive seasons? Plus, a look at the ALCS and how the surprise of the season - the Boston Red Sox - can stay alive against the Houston Astros. All that and more! Like what you hear? Have your own hot takes? Tweet at us @htopodcast and let us know what you think!
Our MLB recap and September preview would be incomplete without a thorough discussion of Shohei Ohtani and the cultural impact he's having. But is the media coverage of Japan's answer to Babe Ruth sufficient? Plus, the US Men's National Team is in dire straits in World Cup Qualifying and the SEC reminds college football that they're the elite of the elite. Like what you heard? Tweet at us @htopodcast and let us know what you think!
Two weeks in to the EPL season and we can draw approximately zero conclusions outside of, "Mikel Arteta will be the first manager to lose his job this season." Plus, the new college football power shift and what it means for the sport, and some more discussion about the one and only Shohei Ohtani. Spoiler: he's really good at baseball. Like what you hear?

The podcast unlike any other takes you through Hideki Matsuyama's historic win at The Masters, the Atlanta Braves horrid start to the season and a preview of El Cashico - PSG v. Manchester City in the Champions League semi finals. Plus, is this a huge change for Chelsea to do the unexpected, and are the Yankees nowhere near contending for the World Series?

In this episode, we talk nothing but Tiger Woods - the greatest golfer of all time. His terrible accident has left us wishing for a speedy and full recovery primarily as a human being, a father and a philanthropist and only secondly as a golfer.

Tom Brady and the Bucs winning Super Bowl LV - along with some nudging from friends - got us thinking: who is the GOAT? The NBA GOAT? The NFL GOAT? Is there a single, solitary GOAT in baseball? Plus, a preview of the Champions League round of 16 and the Dodgers got even better...how is that possible? SOCIAL Twitter - @htopodcast YouTube - Boba Papi
