In this post NFL Draft episode of the podcast, I talk all things football with two very special guests.First up I chat with Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin about his off-season training, the new guys on his Miami squad and we talk a walk down Pac-12 memory lane, reminiscing about old Apple Cup victories. Gaskin, who appeared in seven games his rookie year in Miami rushed for 133 yards and one touchdown as well as caught seven passes for 51 receiving yards. Gaskin talks about his time at UW and which school he thought about attending in the Pac-12 instead, before his mom talked some sense into him.Later in the podcast, I am joined by USA Today Sports Group writer and LSU student Crissy Froyd to talk about how the Tigers faired in this year’s draft. She also shares her thoughts on the Tennessee Titans draft picks and we talk all things quarterbacks, particularly Jordan Love and Joe Burrow.

In this third part of a 3-episode look at some potential 2020 NFL Draft prospects, I talk with my favorite group of guys – the fullbacks.

Now, I talk with 3 hopeful young men looking to make their mark at the next level. First up I chat with South Dakota State running back turned fullback Mikey Daniel about his transition, the interest he has garnered from the League and his goal of being a special teams captain. Later, I talk with Army fullback Connor Slomka aka the Wexford Sledgehammer about how he found his way to West Point, what it has been like to prep for the draft there and what sets him apart as a fullback.

Later, I chat with Utah safety Terrell Burgess, who talks about his size, what it was like to play for head coach Kyle Wittingham and how he made dumbbells out of milk jugs for a quarantine workout.

In this first part of a 3-episode look at some potential 2020 NFL Draft prospects, I start with the guys that help get points on the board. A candid chat with North Texas quarterback Mason Fine about his height reveals that some NFL coaches aren't overly concerned with his 5'11" frame. I talk to Wisconsin center Tyler Biadasz about the evolution of his "country strength," dispelling the doubt that has arisen regarding his pervious injuries. And I close out the episode with Houston offensive tackle Josh Jones, who talks about why he chose the Cougars over other D1 schools as well as his plans for his professional career.

In the 32nd episode of the Sideline Sass Podcast, host Emily Van Buskirk talks with a very special guest – linebacker Jerimiah Spicer. Spicer’s story is unique, from being abandoned as a baby to bouncing from home to home and at times living on the streets or sleeping in cars to playing football at the professional level. Spicer talks with Emily about the structure that football brought to his life from a young age and how it pushed him to work hard and get good grades. A truly inspiring tale about the perseverance of the human spirit, Jerimiah’s journey continues as he shares his NFL hopes and dreams with Sideline Sass listeners. Later in the podcast, Emily plays some clips from her conversation with Pepper Johnson. Not only is Johnson an Ohio State Hall of Famer and 13-year NFL veteran, he coached Spicer briefly during his time as Defensive Coordinator for the Los Angeles Wildcats. After Jerimiah was taken by the Wildcats in the XFL draft, Johnson was able to see first-hand in camp what he brings to the table. And he shares with Emily his thoughts on the tough, young linebacker. He compares Spicer to a former NFL great - you will never guess who! Johnson also talks about the XFL itself and what it brings to the football world as well as his thoughts on its longevity.  Make sure you follow the show on all our social media profiles:@sidelinesasss on Twitter and Instagram and Sideline Sass on Facebook.Plus don't forget check out the website where audio, video and written sass converge at www.SidelineSasss.com (http://www.sidelinesasss.com/) . Also follow Emily on Twitter and Instagram at @Emilnem.

In the 31st episode of the Sideline Sass Podcast, host Emily Van Buskirk brings you the origin story of the infamous Making Fullbacks Great Again hat.The fullback position, which has been written about recently as going extinct, is actually alive and well in both the NFL and in college football. And Emily is determined to prove it.So she enlists the help of two active fullbacks: Keith Smith of the Atlanta Falcons and Tory Carter of the National Championship LSU Tigers. Smith, who just signed a 3-year contract extension with the Falcons on March 14th, tells listeners why the fullback is not in fact dead and how his brand, MFGA came to be. Smith played 196 snaps for the Falcons last season, starting in five games and he talks about the Atlanta culture, how good he thinks the team will be next year and who is the funniest dude on the Falcons. He also gives a shout out to former Stanford TE Austin Hooper. And he offers up advice to young fullbacks everywhere.Speaking of young fullbacks, Emily is joined later by LSU's wild man Tory Carter, who talks about the National Championship season, how his dad knew he would be a fullback from Day 1 and how being a fullback helped him get a girlfriend. FYI, its not the pick-up line you think. Carter also talks about his dream of joining the NFL fullback fraternity and one day coaching a team of his own. Make sure you follow the show on all our social media profiles:@sidelinesasss on Twitter and Instagram and Sideline Sass on Facebook.Plus don't forget check out the website where audio, video and written sass converge at www.SidelineSasss.com.Also follow Emily on Twitter and Instagram at @Emilnem.

Ok so remember when the last podcast episode dropped a year ago and I said I was back?Well this time Sideline Sass is BACK, for realsies.And to commemorate this pearl anniversary episode (that's 30th for all you folks blind to traditions) I decided to honor my new manta for 2020 - the Year of the Power Moves by talking with one of the most powerful guys and guts in the XFL, Seattle Dragons defensive end Anthony Johnson Sr.Nicknamed "The Gut," Johnson Sr. hails from Florida International and one of my favorite college football groupings, Conference USA. His journey through football was not an easy one - at one point he found himself on the precipice of packing it all in. But coaches like Butch Davis and Chad Smith gave him a new lease on life.Johnson Sr. talks with host Emily Van Buskirk about his collegiate football experience, being part of this brand new (kind of) magical league AND gives listeners the low down on his nickname, introducing Sideline Sass fans to "The Gut" brand. Everyone should check out his brand and buy his merch because I said so: https://fanarch.com/collections/anthony-johnson-sr And of course, the two talk about Johnson's infamous post-game "beer bath" - if you haven't' seen it, check out Twitter and watch the gloriousness. As always, don't forget to follow the show on all our social media profiles: @sidelinesasss on Instagram, @sidelinesasss on Twitter and Sideline Sass on Facebook.

In the 21st episode of the podcast, the girls celebrate a major league debut, catch up with an old friend and former podcast guest and check in on the college world series.The first guest is Sara Krutewicz, fiancé of Padres relief pitcher Robert Stock, who made his major league debut against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. The girls were able to witness Stock’s scoreless 10th inning and watch him face the likes of Joe Panik and Gorkys Hernandez. Sara joined the girls first to talk about the whirlwind call-up – from booking flights to SF to a sleepless night before his possible appearance; she walks the girls through every emotional moment. Sara talks about how special it was to watch his debut from the front row at AT&T surrounded by his family. Then the girls are joined by the man himself, Robert Stock who calls in from his hotel room in Dallas, TX. Stock, a 10-year baseball journeyman, talks about what it was like finally getting the big league call-up – from the moment his manager called him into his office to the second he stepped out on that major league mound. The call-up comes as no surprise, as Stock boasted a gaudy 1.93 ERA with 24 strikeouts in 23 1/3 innings out of the bullpen with the El Paso Chihuahuas, the Padres Triple-A affiliate. Stock talks about his exceptional inning and how special it was to have his family there in the front row, cheering him on. He also talks about his pitching process as well as his recovery and he discuses not wanting to shake off catcher Austin Hedges too much. Finally, he goes down the Westworld rabbit hole, sharing his thoughts from this past season ahead of the finale.

The Podcast turns 20 this week! Happy birthday to Sideline Sass! This is a MUST LISTEN episode so lets get to it.To celebrate this episode, the girls recruit two major league pitchers to come on the show and talk about their different experiences. The baseball vibes in this episode are very real.First, the girls are joined by newly drafted Chicago Cub pitcher Chris Allen. A Terra Linda High School graduate and College of Marin pitcher, Allen talks about his draft day experience, giving listeners insight into what it looks like to wait around at home for a life-changing call.The 6-foot-3, 170-pounder was selected 608th overall after compiling a 13-0 record in 14 appearances in his sophomore year at COM. He struck out 102 in 100-2/3 innings and posting an earned-run average of 1.34. He allowed two hits or less in three outings, including a one-hitter vs. Laney College April 10.Allen, an ace pitcher and practical Marin kid talks about the different teams courting him that day as all we his plan B - accepting the offer from the University of Hawaii and playing in front of 4,000 fans under the island sun. Fortunately, Allen found a solid home with the Cubs and Sideline Sass cannot wait to watch his career take off in the minor leagues. Next, the girls talk with Kansas City Royals pitcher Jakob Junis about his current season as well as his path to the show. Junis made his debut in Burlington an worked his way through the Royals system until finally earning a spot on the 40-man roster in 2017.
