Over the years, JT & Looney have made fun of lazy shows who do lists like "Mt Rushmore of Running Backs" ... Then they turn around and do a Mt. Rushmore Running Back segment. These things happen when you've got a lot of dead air to fill. PLUS, they talk about maybe a new era of running backs ahead of us in the NFL. AND, some Ohtani, Babe Ruth, Aaron Judge chatter as well.

The Sports Experience Podcast with Chris Quinn and Dominic DiTolla
Episode 295 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we're beginning our block of episodes on the greatest players in the history of the Negro Leagues.Arguably one of the greatest power hitters of all-time, Gibson established himself as one of professional baseball's most feared threats at the plate during the 1930s and 1940s.Gibson was a fantastic catcher for the Homestead Grays and Pittsburgh Crawford during this span, and was a 12x All-Star, 3x Negro NL batting champion and 2x Negro League World Series champion.Sadly, despite his success in the United States, Dominican Republic, Mexico and Cuba, Gibson was unable to play in Major League Baseball due to the racist, “Gentlemen's Agreement.” This barred any ball players of color from playing in MLB until the Dodgers signed Jackie Robinson in 1947.Though the statistics vary, many posit Gibson could've hit close to 800 home runs during his professional career. After MLB's decision to include Negro League stats in 2021, Gibson became the league's career leader in batting average!Sadly, Gibson suffered from inner demons and died in 1947 of a stroke. Though he never played in Major League Baseball, he still made the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972 due to his amazing impact on the game!Connect with us on Instagram!Chris Quinn: @cquinncomedyDominic DiTolla: @ditolladominicProducer: @ty_englestudioInstagram: @thesportsexperiencepodcastIf you enjoy this podcast, please help support us @:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-experience-pod/support#sportspodcast#comedypodcast #joshgibson#baseballplayer#baseball

Jason announced changes to the podcast schedule and discussed economic trends, particularly in the housing market. He emphasized the importance of adapting to market realities and taking calculated risks in real estate investment. He also covered various aspects of the current economic landscape, including inflation's impact on housing, mortgage market stability, and the potential for future market shifts. Despite persistent interest rates and prices, some homebuyers are entering the market due to life events, realizing they "can't pause their life." This signals buyer capitulation and acceptance of current market realities. While sales volume initially dropped, it has rebounded as people adjust expectations. Younger buyers are increasingly looking at more affordable metros. Low loan-to-value ratios (47% average) provide a significant equity cushion, mitigating risks of a housing crash. Rising construction costs and potential labor shortages due to immigration policies may further impact housing prices. Investing in real estate remains a historically proven and tax-advantaged strategy amidst a long-term housing shortage.

What good would a history podcast be without some sports history? Babe Ruth feels like he should be on the Mount Rushmore of sports history. Born in the Pigtown part of Baltimore, he defied the odds to become the most well-known baseball player of all time. He dazzled fans on the field, on the silver screen, and on every sports page in the country. His trade from the Red Sox also cursed the organization for the next 86 years. As a Yankee he was a pivotal part of many World Series contenders. He was the anchor of the famed Murderers Row batting line up. For all his success on the field, his life in the clubhouse and outside the stadium was more flawed than most people know. Join us as we get Historically High on Babe Ruth.Support the show

Episode 2235 – Baseball's back and so are Kid and JayBird, and they're not pulling any punches in this absolute heater of an episode. From bitching about nets at the ballpark to roasting the soulless hellspawn who keep injecting analytics and AI into the game, this one's for the purists who remember when ballplayers had mullets and umps had guts. The boys go hard on: ⚾️ The destruction of baseball's soul via nerds with iPads ⚾️ Why nets suck, fans are distracted, and Max Muncie got screwed ⚾️ The absurdity of automated strike zones and bloated bases ⚾️ Old stadium nostalgia, including the magic of Tiger Stadium ⚾️ The absolute BS that is trying to compare Babe Ruth to today's stats-juiced era But it doesn't stop at sports — oh no. JayBird shares his plans to finally go see his mystery lady, and then things get really unhinged when Kid drops a video about a guy who falls in love with his car. Like, legit wants to marry his Monte Carlo. Yes. That happened. You'll never look at your gas tank the same way again. Even more bullshit: • Rants about exit velocity and “shit nerd stats” • Remembering baseball before it got turned into a carnival • Philosophizing over generational change • Laughing at freaks who want to bang inanimate objects • JayBird's continuing relationship rollercoaster • Kid's unfiltered disdain for replay, robotic umps, and overpriced stadium food It's angry.

Send us a textIt's not really been a week in baseball but the Dodgers & Cubs have played 5 games now (Dodgers have won them all and are on a path to be undefeated) so that's close to a week. There are no narratives written in March for MLB teams. That goes for April too although teams will be almost 30 games into the season when April ends. #Yankees Aaron Judge was on a pace for nearly 500 RBIs this season when he had 11 RBIs in his first 11 ABs. That goes with his 4 home runs in three games putting him second to Adrian Gonzalez for most homers in a season's first 3 games. Judge hit 3 HRs Saturday to become the 4th Yankee to do that including Babe Ruth and A-Rod. Lou Gehrig surpassed that with (4) 3-HR games! The Yankees spanked the #Brewers and gave Nestor Cortes a bad reception at Yankee Stadium in his first game pitching for the Brewers. It was a game in which the Bronx Bombers hit 9 home runs. Shohei is hitting homers. Mookie Betts is back in the lineup and the 2024 World Series combatants are a combined 8-0 in 2025. We pick who we think will win MLB awards this season.

The host of this podcast truly believes that “Football Is Family” and he is on a mission to share the stories of other fans out there sharing how they have been touched by the greatest sport on Earth. Listen below to the trailer and learn more about the host and show.HOST - JEREMY MCFARLINGrowing up in Middle Tennessee, I didn't have a pro football team that was close enough to me to feel a part of. My first memory of pro football was Super Bowl 22. I picked the Broncos to win, and, even though they didn't win, I followed them from that point on.John Elway was (and is) my favorite player. I have played as the Broncos on Tecmo Bowl, Tecmo Bowl Super Bowl, Madden, and 2K Sports. I fondly remember the moments when the Broncos won Super Bowls 32 and 33.Around this time, the Oilers came to Tennessee. I was hooked. I finally had a team just down the road from my hometown of Bon Aqua. Oiler (and later Titans) mania hit this area. Jerseys, hats, footballs, merchandise, and several autographs later, I'm a Titans fan through and through. It's the dedication, the love, and the passion for football that helps me realize that football is family. Each fan base has a story, a history, and a love for their team. That's what I want to talk about each and every podcast.You can follow me @jeremy_mcfarlin. Message me if you want to share your reasons why your football team is family.
Joe recalls hearing stories from longtime Pirates legendary usher Phil Coyne. He remembered seeing Babe Ruth play and can see Roberto Clemente playing at Forbes Field. Fans used to wear suits to the game.
Following the devastating fires in California, I kept hearing story after story of Pacific Palisades residents having been dropped by their insurance company just a few months before the deadly fire. The same thing happened this past fall in Florida – Floridians couldn't afford their increased premiums, so when Hurricane Milton hit – they had no coverage. In fact, Florida insurance rates have gotten so high that people are beginning to leave the state - insurance premiums, in some cases, surpassing their mortgage payments. Insurance companies also get away with underpaying or slow-paying the insured… leaving people helpless and hopeless.Thankfully, there are people out there like my next guest, Chip Merlin, Founder and President of the Merlin Law Group. Chip has dedicated his practice to representing and advocating for the insured in disputes with their insurance companies nationwide.Chip has been called the “Babe Ruth of Hurricane lawyers” and “Master of Disaster” for his nationwide catastrophe work in helping policyholders after Hurricane Katrina. The Florida Association of Public Adjusters awarded him a Lifetime Achievement Award for his advocacy on behalf of policyholders. He is on the Board of Directors of United Policyholders, has been a guest commentator on CNN and Fox News, and is also past Chair of the Insurance Bad Faith Litigation Group of the American Association of Justice. In this episode, Chip and I discuss the state of the insurance crisis in the US, from California to Florida to NY, and what we, the insured, can do to protect ourselves from insurance companies' malfeasance, and what our state governments should do to protect the insured over the insurers. To protect your property and your family, this is an episode you will not want to miss. If you enjoy the show, please rate and review. Be sure to follow us on Instagram @TheInterviewWithLeslie.

Tal como cuando Babe Ruth dejó a los Boston Red Sox para pasarse a los New York Yankees, dando lugar a la leyenda de "la maldición del Bambino", el traspaso de Luka Doncic a Lakers trae aquella historia nuevamente a la mente de los memoriosos amantes del béisbol. ¿Se recrea la historia en el ámbito basquetbolístico? Lo cuentan Álvaro Martín, Coach Carlos Morales y Martín Zeitune.
Even 100 years later, Babe Ruth is still the face of baseball... but Joe thinks Shohei Ohtani could surpass him. Michael Jordan is the easy face of basketball with LeBron and Jerry West in the conversation.

Babe Ruth is probably the biggest cultural figure of the 20th century. Nearly 100 years after his death, his name remains relevant. In 1922, after losing the World Series to the cross bridge rival NY Giants, Babe Ruth and Bob Muesel departed for a barnstorming tour of the Mid West. Tim Grover, a Mid West kid from Iowa took to this story and wrote a book about Bob and Babe's tour. The story is full of early 20th century greatness. Pete A Turner welcomes Tim Grover to the Break It Down Show. Get Tim's book Barnstorming Babe: A Slugger's Bumpy Trek Across Small-Town America on Amazon at amzn.to/4gGvOEt Babe Ruth could be his own worst enemy. After the 1921 World Series, the Bambino and teammate Bob Meusel began a barnstorming tour in the Northeast. The new baseball commissioner, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, had warned them against doing it, citing a ridiculous and seldom-enforced rule. Greed overruled logic, and they did it anyway. Landis responded by suspending both players for the first six weeks of the 1922 season. A year later, Landis had waived the rule. And after losing the World Series in 1922, Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel left the harsh glare of New York for an eighteen-game Great Plains barnstorming tour. Stops included Omaha, Kansas City, and Denver. But also Sleepy Eye, Pratt, and Tarkio. They played in sleet, rain, and snow, traveled overnight on “jerkwater” railroads, and tolerated endless civic celebrations. They hit monstrous home runs, played against formidable Negro Leaguers, and faced some great small-town pitchers. They also visited orphanages, raised money for the American Legion, and created lifelong memories for hardscrabble farmers who would have never otherwise had a chance to see a major league baseball player. The adventure kicked off with a spitball in Perry, Iowa, on Friday the thirteenth…
