The Roundup Podcast
On today’s show, with the NBA Playoffs in full swing it’s all hoops, all the time, and we have a lot to get into with Round 2 underway. But first, it’s a way too late post-mortem on our Golden State Warriors’ season; we’ve been so busy talking about actual Playoff teams that we didn’t get a chance to review the season and look ahead to next year, but rest assured, this will likely be the last Warrior talk til next fall. Then it’s a brief recap of Round 1 before we give our pre-series Round 2 predictions and take a look at what we’ve seen so far from Ant and the Wolves, Jalen...

The Roundup Podcast

Meanwhile in the West, the top of the conference is all bunched up and the 1 seed is up for grabs, as is the final...

605: NFL Free Agent Frenzy/NBA Down the Stretch - The Roundup Podcast, w/ the Guru, Gabe Goldfield
The Roundup Podcast
On today’s show, NFL free agency hit the sports world hard, and while the best players pretty much never hit the open market, there were still some potentially impactful moves. The Steelers are all about 2nd chance QBs, the Texans are building on last year’s success, the Panthers are trying to offer Bryce some more support, the Eagles and Ravens are retooling and the Bears are getting ready for the Caleb Williams era. Meanwhile, we have to wonder, where were the Cowboys during all of this? Plus, is Patrick Mahomes the best individual player in team sports right now? And in the NBA, the...

603: Super Bowl LVIII & Your NFL Champion Chiefs/Warriors Getting Right - The Roundup Podcast, w/ the Guru, Gabe Goldfield
The Roundup Podcast
On today’s show, Super Bowl LVIII is in the books, along with another NFL season, and we all suddenly have a lot more free time on Sundays. The Big Game started slow but ended with a performance by Patrick Mahomes worthy of the Vegas stage they were on. Mahomes was every bit the smart gambler; he folded a few hands, stuck with his system and in the end, hit the jackpot late in overtime, but as many people seem to want to blame the Niners for the loss as give the Chiefs credit for the win. We’ll play the blame game with the Niners like fans are doing all over the Bay Area, but what I take...

602: NFL Super Bowl Picks/Underwhelming NBA Trade Deadline Moves Ranked - The Roundup Podcast, w/ the Guru, Gabe Goldfield
The Roundup Podcast
On today’s show, it’s time to make our Super Bowl picks, with just a few days before the Big Game, and let the equivocating begin! At first glance, it looks like the Niners have the superior roster; it’s practically an all-star team. But if you look closer, the Chiefs have the advantage at quite a few positions. And on top of that, after all we’ve seen these past 6 seasons, how do you bet against Patrick Mahomes? If you’re on the Niners, you believe that Brock can play a clean game, CMC will continue to dominate, and the stacked DL will play up to expectations. If you’re on the...

601: NFL Conference Championship Recap/NBA All-Star Picks - The Roundup Podcast, w/ the Guru, Gabe Goldfield
The Roundup Podcast
On today’s show, the Super Bowl matchup is set and we’re recapping how the Niners and Chiefs got here. Now technically it’s a rematch of the big game from 2020, but in reality, these are much different versions of the teams we saw play just a handful of years ago. And we’re not gonna focus on tearing down the Ravens and Lions like other shows seem to be doing; the two best teams advanced, and we got the best possible matchup for the biggest game of the year. Then, with the NBA All-Star reserves being announced tonite on TNT, we’re giving our picks to round out the All-Star rosters,...
info_outlineOn today’s show, we continue our NFL previews looking at a loaded east. The AFC East boasts one of the most dominant teams of the past few years, albeit one that has fallen short in the Playoffs, as the Bills look to live up to high expectations behind a healthy Josh Allen. But all the attention is on New York, as the new look Jets, complete with Aaron Rodgers as their first franchise QB since Joe Namath, try to live up to the hype with all of their young talent, guys like Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson and Quinnen Williams. Meanwhile, the Dolphins are loaded on both sides of the ball, but the challenge will be keeping Tua upright in the pocket. And you can never count out the Patriots as long as Bill Belichick is still at the helm, and that defense is looking downright scary. In the NFC East, we have the powerhouse Eagles returning a lot of starters and looking for another Super Bowl win behind Jalen Hurts. And the Cowboys are always at the center of attention, and this could very well be their year behind a great defense and offensive line, but the hype always seems to be greater than the product on the field so we’ll see if this year is any different. Meanwhile, the Giants might not be able to repeat their Playoff appearance from last year, and some regression is expected, while the Commanders look to be on the rise, but unless Sam Howell surprises everyone, they might not be ready to make a Wild Card run just yet. So sit back, the NFL season is just around the corner and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .
