Podcasts about all star weekend

Nick Alberga & David Pagnotta break down an entertaining Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final as Mitch Marner and the Vegas Golden Knights outlasted Frederik Andersen and the Carolina Hurricanes 5-4 to take a 1-0 series lead.The guys also dissect all the fallout from Gary Bettman's annual State of the Union address, including the NHL's revamped All-Star Weekend format and other key league-wide developments.Meantime, Pagnotta provides the latest on Toronto's coaching search, including Darren Dreger's report that Patrick Roy and Peter Laviolette are part of the current stage of the interview process.Plus, veteran NHL bench boss Gerard Gallant stops by to discuss the Leafs' head coaching vacancy, what it would mean to coach in Toronto, the challenges facing the franchise, and much more.

The boys E. Wright and Wintercoat Romes return with another honest and layered conversation covering Super Bowl 60 reactions, All-Star Weekend, Ice allegedly leaving Minneapolis, and the realities of trying to stay motivated during “Spring Into Action.”The heart of the episode centers around emotional boundaries, superficial interactions, people-pleasing, and why so many of us struggle to reinforce the standards we set for ourselves. The boys unpack what happens when empathy turns into apathy, how repeated disrespect changes relationships, and why authenticity matters more than performative kindness.Episode 149 dives into boundaries, authenticity, empathy, and the difference between being “nice” and being genuinely kind. From workplace dynamics and fake social expectations to personal growth and emotional accountability, this episode blends humor, vulnerability, and real-life reflection in classic Symposium fashion.

It's All-Star Weekend at Dover. Chase McCabe takes you through what to expect, plus fall out from SVG's big win at The Glen and he's joined by Rookie Connor Zilisch and Fox Sports' Michael Waltrip. 

Fuel saving, cut line conversations, and Shane van Gisbergen putting on another road course masterclass. This week on Action Detrimental, the guys break down Ross Chastain running out of gas late, why Watkins Glen was still a solid points day, and how frustrating it can be to save fuel instead of driving all out. Plus, they dive into NASCAR's road course coverage issues and why fans at home are missing too much of the action during some of the biggest moments of the race. They also debate whether a road course belongs in the playoffs, if anyone can eventually challenge SVG on these tracks, and why Connor Zilisch might be the next guy up. Add in the Ryan Preece penalty controversy, Kaden Honeycutt's first Truck Series win, and a look ahead to All-Star Weekend, and there is plenty to unpack in this one. Let us know in the comments if you think NASCAR should keep a road course in the playoffs! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Czabe and ANDY POLLIN hook up to discuss the hopeless state of the NBA's All-Star Weekend from soup to nuts. Every single metric, attitude, and soundbite is in the absolute shitter, and Adam Silver has run out of ideas. Even the bad ideas. Of which he finds many. The NFLPA somehow loses what should have been an easy arbitration win over their annual survey. The Canadians are cheatin' fucks when it comes to the "sport" of curling.

The NBA tried something completely different… and it might have saved All-Star Weekend. From the early start time designed for a global audience to the fast, tournament-style format that turned every possession into crunch time, this year's game delivered something fans haven't felt in years: real competition. But not everything landed. Why did the championship game fall flat? Did splitting Team USA into “young” and “old” backfire? And why did some stars seem way more invested than others? The conversation then shifts to the bigger picture. Commissioner Adam Silver is openly searching for ways to eliminate tanking, and the proposed solutions range from intriguing to absolutely insane. A postseason tournament for lottery teams? Guaranteeing playoff spots AND top picks? Or blowing up the entire system by abolishing the draft altogether? Plus, the crew reacts to LeBron's comments on the USA vs. World format, debates whether All-Star Games are really just for kids now, and explores why fans crave entertainment in the moment but quickly forget the results. If you care about where the NBA is heading, this one's packed with ideas, arguments, and a few takes that could reshape the future of pro sports.

The crew kicked off hour three today with a make up of the “Dating Game!” Mason and Ramona Shelburne follow with Fast Track! Was this year's All-Star Weekend in the NBA a success?
