    NBA Playoffs are in full gear! The boys are back to recap the first two rounds of some all-time playoff matchups. They talk about what went wrong with the Lakers, how the Nuggets are in mediocrity hell and how the Rockets can retool to be a scary contender for years to become. They go through every playoff series, talk about how rigged the Draft Lottery was for the Mavericks. Finally, the boys talk a little football. Not about the draft, but about the Steelers of all teams. Alex has an all-time crash out about the Steelers entertaining a Chris Olave trade and then the boys reminisce about how George Pickens is the most entertaining man alive. They daydream about how excited they are to watch George Pickens fist fight a pylon and assault Jerry Jones.A great episode. Hope you enjoy listening!

    New year, same NFL? It felt like I was in 2021 with all these playoff games. Chiefs beat the Bills AGAIN, Bucs decimate the Eagles AGAIN, and the Cowboys CHOKE AGAIN. Maybe we're in the Groundhog's Day, who knows! The boys are back for another episode, they do a few playoff recap which includes all the Wild Card blowouts and the repercussions of the Divisional round. The boys spend some time lamenting the losses of their favorite PA teams, discuss if the NFL is rigged based on the SB logo and give their predictions for Championship games. For basketball, the boys cover the massive games that Embiid and KAT had and spend way too much time laughing at the fact the Timberwolves blew a 15 point lead to the Hornets. They also discuss Siakam trade and the Bucks being the most brain dead franchise by hiring Doc Rivers after starting the season 30-13. Finally, the boys play a fun game of Blind Rankings. It'll get a good laugh out of you, as Robby blind ranks NBA players that he could beat in a street fight and NBA players that he'd want to do his taxes.

    A great weekend of sports for the boys at Gym Class All-Stars. The Phillies, who haven't been to the playoffs in over a decade, have managed to defeat the Cardinals, dethrone the Braves as best team in the NL East and steal victory away from the Padres. We are ecstatic to see the Phightin Phils return to the World Series and talk about our thoughts and give our analysis of the Championship series. On the other side, the Astros have a stranglehold on the Yankees. Alex and Robby speculate about an Astros vs Phillies world series and keys to victory for both teams. Next, the boys recap the CMC and Robbie Anderson trades and what this does for the Cardinals and 49ers respectively. After this, the boys go through the Week 7 games and discuss the major storylines like the Bucs and Packers losing, the Colts being criminally inconsistent and the Bengals looking like a contender yet again. Finally, the NBA season is in full swing. The Heat and Sixers have started off TERRIBLY. Robby and Alex discuss what each team can do to avoid continuing this cold streakIn addition, they chastise Adam Silver for trying to reprimand teams for tanking and have already broken the golden rule of avoiding talk about the Lakers. They also talk fantasy sports, and memories from playing fantasy football and fantasy basketball. All this and more on this episode of Gym Class All-Stars! Subscribe if you enjoy!

    Hey would you look at us! We did back to back weekly episodes for the first time in a little while. We're killing it. You know who's not killing it... the Pittsburgh Steelers. Anyways, this episode has a recap of the Week 2 games. Lot of apologies this episode, including the Matt Ryan revenge game that didn't happen, the New England Patriots being deemed as "terrible" and the Vikings being an unstoppable juggernaut. Because of the last one, Robby is all in on the Eagles which will 100% end of being a jinx. However, we did get a lot right. The Bills are poised to make a run at the Super Bowl, and the 49ers got a lot better losing Trey Lance. The boys cover the little bit of outside news there is such as the Ime Udoka situation and suspension, the Bogdanovic trade to the Pistons. They also talk about Albert Pujols breaking 700 home runs and the ethics and courtesy of giving a record breaking baseball back to the hitter. Finally, the boys round it off with Week 3 predictions, hoping to do better than the .500 records they had last week. All this and more on this episode of Gym Class All-Stars.

    Football is BACK! We were all so excited that we missed an episode before the start of the season, but the boys are back to recap all the happenings in the sports world. Week 1 came and went and it was AWESOME! The Bills looked unstoppable in Week 1, the Eagles didn't fully blow a lead, the Steelers made Joe Burrow and the Bengals look like a bottom feeder team . On top of all that the Falcons blew another lead, the Cowboys still suck and Geno Smith really is a bad BAD man. The boys also cover the newest NBA offseason acquisitions. The Donovan Mitchell trade took the Cavaliers from a fringe playoff team to bona fide Eastern conference contenders. Pat Bev and Russell Westbrook are united in LA and the Suns owner is in some HOT water for a number of reasons about his conduct with employees. Baseball is winding down. In almost 2 weeks we'll have the playoffs. Somehow, the Phillies are still in playoff contention. Alex and Robby pick their favorites for the World Series and for once it's not biased. Finally, the boys do a belated time capsule picks for the 2022 NFL season. Basically, they give picks and will not look at them till the end of the season. Usually their choices are embarrassing based on how the season goes, but sometimes there are some gems. See what the future holds for these predictions.

    After the longest hiatus imaginable (thanks Robby for deciding to move across the country), the boys are back to celebrate the NFL being back... kinda. We talk the Deshaun Watson suspension and why karma will catch up with the Cleveland Browns. Alex talks about how good the Buffalo Bills looked in their preseason game and how upset he was that Russell Wilson didn't play (Broncos Nation really didn't ride). The boys also talk about the MLB trade deadline. They give their thoughts on the new Padres team and swoon about how they are all-in on this Phillies team. For the NBA, Alex and Robby give their thoughts on the marquee matchups for the 2022-23 season, including the opening day and Christmas Day games. They also talk about Lebron James' new contract and if he should have taken less money for a better roster. Finally, the boys have an impromptu debate about which set of games will be better: the Thursday Night games or the Monday Night games. We're happy to be back so subscribe and tell your friends!

    While the MLB is the only sport with the season still going on, don't underestimate the intrigue of the NBA offseason. From the draft, to the beginning of free agency to all the trade rumors, there is a LOT to go through. One might even say that this is another NBA MEGA EPISODE! First off is a draft recap. We talk about our feelings about the top 10 picks, bad vs good picks and who will be an absolute bust or potential superstar. The next portion we talk about all the free agent signings. All the supermax contract extensions, all the role players getting their deserved money and all the signings in between. We discuss the good and bad ones of this bunch. Finally, the boys go over all the trades and trade rumors going on. Main points of discussion involve the Rudy Gobert trade and then the KD and Kyrie trade rumors and scenarios.

    The Warriors knocked off the highly favored Boston Celtics. We discuss the fallout of the NBA Finals. Is Steph Curry top 10, how much should Jordan Poole's contract be, and will Andrew Wiggins stay with the Warriors. On the flip side, can Tatum and Brown coexist, and what do the Celtics do with their roster. Do they trade some role players in hopes of upgrading the starting lineup or do they stick it out with the roster that got them to the Finals. Christian Wood got sent to the Mavericks, so Luka has his 2nd star.... kinda. PJ Tucker is testing free agency, John Wall is being a detriment to the Houston Rockets and then there's Brooklyn...Kyrie wants a long term contract, the Nets don't want to give him that for obvious reasons. They are at an impasse and only time will tell with that. If he leaves, what happens to Kevin Durant... does he leave, or do him and Simmons become the Dynamic Duo we didn't ask for. With the draft being a few days away, the boys break down their predictions for the Top 10 NBA draft picks for the 2022 draft. A lot of consensus but truthfully this draft is really up in the air with where anyone can go. LIV Golf and PGA tour need to do a "loser leaves town" type of match to settle the rivalry once and for all, and then Gronk retires, and the Browns still suck. All this and more on this episode of Gym Class All-Stars.

    While we are just weeks away from the most boring point of the sports cycle, the NBA is still on going and boy is it tense. The Warriors and Celtics are locked in a battle of ages. Deadlocked 2-2, it is a very even series, with each game going back and forth. It really is any team's series. Robby and Alex recap the Finals and go over a few topics of discussion such as: Is Draymond Green washed up? Will there be a Klay Thompson Game 6 performance and should Steph Curry win the Finals MVP if he loses. For the MLB, the season is going... the Phillies went on a 9 game win streak, but at the cost of getting obliterated by the Diamondbacks... so it's moderate optimism from us Philly fans. Do the boys think that the Yankees can hold onto the top record in the MLB and/or will they choke in the playoffs? Alex explains the PGA-LIV controversy to Robby and why competition may not be great for the sport. Finally, the boys touch on the NFL. Specifically, getting into the Deshaun Watson debacle and the Patrick Mahomes slander. All this and more on this week's episode of Gym Class All-Stars!

    We've been gone for two weeks, and well... a lot has happened. Both number one conference seeds lost in gut-wrenching game 7s, Al Horford is a superstar apparently and the Phillies went ahead and fired Joe Girardi after a dumpster fire of a start to the season. Don't worry though... some things never change. Robby still knows nothing about the NHL and Alex still hates Boston sports (and the Cowboys). The boys are back and get everyone caught up on the playoffs. They discuss the fallout from the Conference finals, the potential detonation of the Phoenix Suns roster and the intrigue of what is going to happen in Utah. Quin Snyder resigning may be the catalyst to the Jazz finally entering a rebuild. As a fun second segment, Alex and Robby took a break from Basketball GM to test their NFL and NBA knowledge. The boys try and name the top 15 NBA all-time statistical category leaders and all the Super Bowl MVPs. Will they be able to name everyone? Will you be impressed?

    Wow! Our first 2 hour episode. I promise you it's not just filler. We just had a lot to cover this week. The 2022 NFL Draft came and went. Lots of excitement and incredible blockbuster trades (if you're an Eagles fan like me). We give our thoughts on the top 10 picks, the big trades that went down and some of the more notable picks of the 1st round. Speaking of first round, it just concluded in the NBA playoffs. We recap all of the series, give our picks for who we think is going to make the conference finals, and have the most heated argument about Joel Embiid and the Sixers and his "injury-prone-ness". Finally, part 3 of our Basketball GM series. The boys are in prime position to win the league championship, but can they avoid blowing a 3-1 playoff lead?!? Tune in to find out.

    Listen, I know it's been a few weeks. We've been fighting tech issues, and had a fully recorded episode get corrupted. We needed some time to decompress so I wouldn't smash my computer. But as always we are back with a new episode. This one is very basketball heavy. We recap the March Madness tournament, go over how our predictions faired in comparison to the actual final outcomes, the biggest surprises, and our overall impressions of the tournament itself. Transitioning to the NBA, we talk about the major storylines leading up to the playoffs. Lebron and the Lakers being eliminated from playoff competition, overall standings, hypothetical playoff matchups and our predictions for the regular season awards (MVP, DPOY, 6th man etc.). Finally, in an effort to make our show more exciting and interesting, we added a new segment to end the show. For the next few weeks, Robby and Alex will be attempting to build a Basketball Dynasty on Basketball GM. They are the co-GMs of the fictional Denver High, and are attempting to finally bring Denver a championship. Will they do it, or is GM-ing a harder responsibility than we give teams credit for.
