If you've been following Pazt The Lines from its very beginnings, you notice that our host Ben Paz really has it out for LeBron. Now, he's here to tell you the one single reason why he does not like him... Hint: It's one of the things that separates THE GOAT (Jordan) from LeBron. On top of that, Ben also talks about the decreasing, all-time low viewership in the NBA and his thoughts on the reason for that.....

We're back with a BANG this week! We brought on special guest Ernesto Herrero who is a reporter for Fish Stripes who is credentialed by the MLB and the Miami Marlins. Ben and Ernesto really dug deep into this episode covering everything from the very surprising Wild-Card series' that went down last week, what the MLB's biggest problem is and how they can go about fixing it, trends on how analytics and advanced stats are changing America's PastTime whether you like it or not, and wrapped up with their predictions for the rest of the playoffs (Dodgers fans I think you're gonna be pretty happy with this one).... On the other hand, if Bryce Harper listens to this I think he's gonna wanna punch us in the face as we shared a pretty funny story on an encounter with him at the ballpark as well as how fan-less games are affecting teams right now and how fans coming back into stadiums will affect the postseason.

When Israel Adesanya and Paulo Costa step foot in the cage Saturday night, it will only be the 2nd time (officially) that an undefeated champion will be fighting an undefeated contender in a men's division. This fight is HISTORIC.... So of course we had to bring on our guy Nick Nasseby from NBA Stories Pod debate who's going to come out on top.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! And NO I AM NOT talking about Christmas, I'm talking bout Fantasy Football SZN! This week Ben and Matt brought on the Co-Host of the Mark and Gram Podcast Logan Semegram to talk about sleepers to target in the later rounds, busts to avoid in the later rounds, and draft strategies to help you DOMINATE your draft so that you can come back in January and ridicule your friends about how much money and pride you took from them after you win your championship, which is something the Detroit Lions will never do (Sorry Matt lol), which is another topic we got to hit on this episode. We even each mock drafted our own teams at different draft slots which we broke down on this episode, so I (Ben) am looking forward for YOU guys to let Matt and Logan know how much comically better my team is than theirs. As always like, subscribe and share.

Whether it's Damian Lillard sinking 40 foot threes or Cormier and Miocic slugging it out in the trilogy, this week's episode will have you ready for primetime (or should I say Dame Time) this Saturday. 0:00-27:06- Ben and Matt kick off the episode with a recap of what went down in the NBA bubble in the last couple of weeks. We explained the Play-In Scenario going down this weekend in the Western Conference as well as Damian Lillard's historic performances and if they will be enough to upset LeBron and the struggling Lakers. Speaking of LeBron, we threw out an analogy that will leave you mindblown on our way to talking about the REAL GOAT, Michael Jordan. After moving on to the shitstorm that is the Eastern Conference right now, we'll revisit some of our bubble predictions from two episodes ago in which we previewed the NBA restart (https://anchor.fm/ben-paz/episodes/The-World-Is-A-Bubble--Its-Not-Flat-Kyrie-NBA-Restart-Preview-ehba2h) 28:05-1:11:18- Speaking of GOATS, we break down the final part of the trilogy for All-Time UFC Heavyweight supremacy between Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic this Saturday, but not without the help of our special guest this week Noah Canyes from the famed First Round Management sports agency. Noah gave us some incredible insight on how the UFC works with it's fighters and why it's business tactics could become an issue in the long-run (Fuck You Dana White). Not only did we talk about fights on this upcoming UFC 252 card, we made some hypothetical fights that would SMASH grossing records including stars like Jorge Masvidal, Jon Jones, Henry Cejudo and of course Conor McGregor. And is it a UFC card without betting locks? FUCK NO! We've got you covered on where to throw your money at this weekend, as well as some some future stars that you might not know yet but will know VERY soon including Sean O'Malley, Khamzat Chimaev (as heavily requested) and Manel Kape.

Matt and Ben are back this week with special guest Nick Nasseby from NBA Stories Pod as they kick off the episode with their thoughts on the actions (or should I say lack of action) during the COVID-19 Pandemic from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred and how this could impact the future of their sport. Then the mic gets REAL HOT when they move into a debate on the highly criticized NFL 100 List and share their biggest snubs and surprises from that list. Things get pretty heated when the conversation starts to shift to Tom Brady and The Patriots (Sorry Ben) and wrap up with a recap of last week's biggest storylines in sports including some HOT takes. Is Anthony Davis the most talented big man EVER? And can we just put Joe Kelly in the Hall of Fame already? Obviously, you can tell one of those is a joke, but seriously Rob Manfred if you can wipe that man's suspension you'd maybe get a slight bit of respect. Also, seriously.. Be sure to follow @paztthelines_sports and @nbastoriespod on Instagram, and check out Nick's recent episode on the Lavar Ball Chronicles and the NCAA last week, it'll definitely open your eyes. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
