I started Cool Sports! Podcast because I like sports and so do my friends and family, so we talk about them all the time. So I thought "Why not record it?" It might be simultaneously the best and worst idea I've ever had. Hope you enjoy. (PS my co-host rarely makes it, FYI)
I sit down with Harry (@HarryThomasHall), an old friend and Top 24 Finalist in the Gillette Drafted search Canada's next Sportscaster. We talk for an hour and cover pretty much everything. Harry is a sports sponge and really fun to talk to. Make sure you vote for him daily! http://tiny.cc/HTHGD
Alex sits down by himself with Ray Lewis on mandatory contractual vacation and talks about the new NFL Pro Bowl, Philadelphia Eagles loosing two players while a third is caught on camera being a racist, and the top 5 free UFA in the NHL.
Alex chats with two friends: previous guest Pat K of Stereos fame and folk lore and now lead singer and 3rd hottest member of I65, we chat hockey and Aaron Hernandez and stuff; and Jason Wheeler, first time guest, drops his knowledge on the NHL and how he broke his hip.
Alex sits down without Ray and chats with his father Mike about the Stanley Cup Finals, the big Canucks Draft Day trade, and the free agency scramble going on in the NHL right now. All NHL, no filler.
Alex sits down by himself without his co-host Ray Lewis to talk random sports news he's read about this week. Football, Basketball, and Hockey all get a little romp in the hay with Cool Sports! It pays to be cool.
Alex talks some new football and NHL news, the ban of turban's in Montreal Youth soccer, and sports solving racism. Finishing this one up with my his father Michael's picks for the Stanley Cup Finals and some thoughts of some subjects covered earlier of his own.
Alex is left to host the show by himself again as Ray Lewis is AWOL. He talks mostly NHL playoffs again, has his dad call in and give his Round 2 wind up and Round 3 predictions!
Ray misses out on another doozey; all about NHL Playoff Hockey! Talk with my dad, Michael, about how he did with his predictions for Round one and he lays some smack down on PK Subban. Also call up my good friend and rival Pat K of Stereos lore who let's me in on his predictions and why he likes the Oilers. All NHL. A little dabble of other things. That's why it's Cool Sports, baby! WOOO! Pat K (@patrickstereos)
Today I talk with my father Mike over the phone for the podcasts first time. It was supposed to be a short episode, but turned into a full one. We talk about NY Jets, NFL Draft, a Gay player in the NBA and the NHL Playoffs. It's a gooden! And my old man has a lot to say!
A quick update on CSP as Alex explains his plans for the next few episodes and talks concussions, the NFL and NHL draft, and contracts in just over 10 minutes. The first Mini Update.
Welcome to the fist episode of Cool Sports! Podcast with your hosts Alex Johnson (alexanderTKWC) and Ray Lewis. Ray Lewis was unavailable so I had a special guest, my good friend and long time sports enthusiast Trent "Big Poppa" Hopfner (@Hoff44) come in and join me. We talk about The NHL, Canucks (past, present and future), UFC and mixed martial arts, and finish with Sports Dads; what its like being a dad with a kid in sports.
