Podcasts about Baldy

In this episode of the show, Baldy, Jamie and Stu chat with Australian international Pete Handscomb about The Ashes and the ups and downs of his cricket career so far. We start the show by diving into Pete's experience watching the Ashes as someone playing first-class cricket and with a lot of connections on both sides. Has anything come as a surprise so far? How tough is the challenge as a batter of moving from English pitches to Australian pitches? And should we expect anything different from in Adelaide or Melbourne? As the conversation continues, we move to Pete's own Ashes experience and the extra levels of scrutiny that come from playing on the biggest of stages. There's plenty in here about mindset and approach, and how tough times led to a rethink that has paid huge dividends in recent seasons. Along with sharing the tough times, Pete also recalls the moment he first received his Baggy Green from long-time friend and current Cricket Victoria coach Chris Rogers, and the moment he scored his first Test hundred against Pakistan. With the fires still burning for an international recall, Pete talks about how the game has changed since his debut, looks back at the challenge of facing India in India on difficult batting surfaces and shares what he's learned about the leadership style that works best for him, plus a few young players to watch out for on the Australian domestic circuit, such as Campbell Kellaway and Oliver Peake. To round out the show, we run through our quickfire round that hits on a number of topics, such as Pete's favourite innings, the toughest bowler he's faced and the most talented cricketer he's ever encountered. All in all, it was a conversation we really enjoyed and we hope you will too. We'll be back in your feed after the Test matches between England & Australia and New Zealand & the West Indies.

Brian Baldinger has his say on the New York Giants and Jets going into week 15!

Brian Baldinger joins to discuss all the biggest matchups and storylines in the NFL, expressing surprise that 44-year-old Phillip Rivers would take the Colts' QB job but noting how thin the league is at the position. He weighs in on the top of the AFC, including the Patriots and Broncos, and shares his impression of Broncos QB Bo Nix. Baldy also analyzes the struggles of the Eagles this season, the passionate Philadelphia fanbase, and questions surrounding AJ Brown, before breaking down the playoff race across the loaded NFC West and NFC North.

Seth and Sean discuss Jalen Pitre's big hit on Rahsee Rice during Texans-Chiefs, listen to Baldy's breakdown of it, and how some guy named Seth Payne reacted to it on his stream.

In this episode of the show, Baldy, Stu and Raj look back at the first Test between New Zealand and the West Indies, and give a brief shout out to Virat Kohli and a live reaction to the goings on in the second Ashes Test. With England and Australia still on the field at our regular Sunday recording time (check back in a day or two for our wrap of that match), we dedicated the majority of this episode to unpacking the West Indies' impressive rearguard action against the Black Caps at Hagley Oval. We start with a round-up of emotions after what proved to be a draining final couple of days in the first Test of the New Zealand summer. The Black Caps looked set for victory with the West Indies at 72-4 chasing 500+, but injuries to Matt Henry, Nathan Smith & Tom Blundell and an outstanding fighting effort from Shai Hope, Justin Greaves & Kemar Roach took the game into the final overs and secured a draw for the visitors. As we bounce around a number of talking points, there's also praise for Jacob Duffy, Tom Latham & Rachin Ravindra, we discuss the pitch and umpiring decisions, and debate whether the Black Caps still had enough chances to win or whether the West Indies should have put the accelerator down in the final session in an attempt to chase down the target. In amongst all of that, we speculate on the New Zealand lineup for the second Test and the prospect of potential Test debuts for Mitch Hay and Michael Rae or an SOS call-up to Kyle Jamieson. To round out the show, we there's a shout-out to Virat Kohli for his stacks of runs in the ODI series against South Africa, plus Baldy's live reaction to the news that Australia were on the verge of victory against England under lights in Brisbane. We'll be back in your feed in a day or two to review that second Ashes Test, then again next week with more from here in New Zealand and around the world.

In hour 2, Spadoni and Shasky discuss Roger Craig not making the list of semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Brian Baldinger joins the show to give his thoughts on the 49ers after their win in Cleveland.

Spadoni and Shasky discuss the elements of a contender in the NFL, how many boxes do the 49ers check? Plus is there a possibility that they could actually be among the elite in the NFL? Bonta Hill joins the show and Baldy joins the guys to give his thoughts on the Browns game.

Hour 3: Should the Giants hire Bill Belichick as their next Head Coach? The NFL Playoff picture is wide open, is that a good thing? Brian Baldinger on next Giants HC, and Calls Out Abdul Carter.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Baldy and Stu look back at South Africa's 2-0 sweep of India, and look ahead to the upcoming series between the Black Caps and the West Indies, as well as the second Ashes Test. We start the show by discussing South Africa's dominant victory against India in the second and final Test of that series, which saw lower-order runs from Senuran Muthusamy and Marco Jansen backed up by impressive performances from Jansen and Simon Harmer with the ball. There's plenty of praise for the visitors, but why were they able to be so successful? Are they better than we thought? Was Shubman Gill's injury that impactful? And how much pressure does another home sweep pile on Gautam Gambhir? Next we head back to New Zealand, where we look forward to the Test series against the West Indies, which starts at Hagley Oval on Tuesday. It's a matchup that favours the Black Caps on paper, but how much have injuries impacted the strength of this Kiwi side? We talk through possible lineups, what's at stake for the likes of Devon Conway and Tom Latham with a big 12-18 months ahead, and the role Mitchell Santner could fill at number 7 in the batting order. To round out the show, we chat about the Ashes, with team selection in focus. Mark Wood is out for England, Pat Cummins isn't yet back for Australia and the Travis Head or Usman Khawaja to open the batting question still remains. Plus: could Nathan Lyon miss out, and should we even have pink-ball Tests at all in the Ashes? We'll be back in your feed next week to review the Tests and anything else that catches our eyes from around the world.

Spadoni and Sam talk with Baldy and get his thoughts on the 49ers win against the Panthers.

BT & Sal tag-team NFL Insider Brian Baldinger on the disastrous state of New York football. The discussion is immediately fiery as Sal questions the Giants' 2-10 record, demanding Baldy shut down the fan notion that their talent is better than their dismal standing. Baldy agrees, highlighting the defense's collapse, but gives Interim Head Coach Kafka a passing grade for his deceptive play-calling. The conversation shifts to the Jets' quarterback crisis, where Baldy throws a bone to the fanbase, confidently stating that Cam Ward "can play," directly impacting the Giants' draft strategy. They analyze the league's overall parity, with Baldy arguing the playoffs will be diluted by teams barely over .500, a direct result of QB mega-contracts forcing good teams like the Lions to be "thin." Finally, they debate the legitimacy of the Caleb Williams-led Bears ahead of their measuring-stick game against the Eagles.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Baldy, Jamie and Stu look back at the first Test between Australia and England, which was action-packed but was finished within two days. There was plenty of drama in the lead-up to The Ashes, but that was nothing compared with the rollercoaster we saw on the field. Mitchell Starc started with a bang, England's pace battery hit back and it seemed like things were about to settle down by lunch on the second day with England one wicket down and leading by 99. But instead the action resumed, with the visitors crumbling and Travis Head's hundred powering Australia to victory within two sessions. We react to the emotion of the two days, then discuss the lineups and the pitch before highlighting key performers like Starc, Head, Ollie Pope, Jofra Archer and Marnus Labuschagne. We ask where it all went wrong for England, debate whether Travis Head's success could bring an unexpected end to Usman Khawaja's Test career, talk through potential changes for the second Test and plenty more as we try to process a game which moved through the gears at a rapid pace.

In this episode of the show, Baldy and Stu look back at the first Test between India and South Africa, which saw the hosts take a 1-0 series lead at Eden Gardens. A quickfire Test but plenty of talking points as seam dominated day 1 and then spin took centre stage on days 2 and 3. Jasprit Bumrah's remarkable skills were on display yet again, Simon Harmer continued his good form and Ravindra Jadeja tore through South Africa's batting lineup in the third innings as the game sped to a conclusion. It all looked to be on track for an Indian win - until it wasn't. We talk about the quality bowling on show, what made batting so tough, the impact of the injuries to Shubman Gill and Kagiso Rabada, and whether India can bounce back at Guwahati. Plus plenty more!

NFL Insider Brian Baldinger joins BT & Sal for a fiery Week 12 breakdown, immediately ripping Giants rookie Cam Skattebo for his bizarre WWE appearance while nursing a fractured ankle, calling the optics "bizarre" and "unprofessional." The conversation shifts to the Giants' deeper issues, with Baldy agreeing that the team has "no internal veteran leadership" to guide young players like Abdul Carter, whose repeated tardiness to meetings was "unacceptable" and made Coach Daboll look worse. Baldy breaks down the tape, exonerating Jameis Winston on the game-ending interception and slams Jalen Hyatt's execution. He offers a shocking take on the Giants' much-maligned offensive line, calling them "middle of the pack" and "playoff worthy." On the AFC, Baldy weighs in on the contenders, calling the Baltimore Ravens a "problem" and the Buffalo Bills "a mess" defensively. Finally, he supports the Jets' move to Tyrod Taylor to gather crucial information on their young, unproven receivers like Adonai Mitchell and Mason Taylor.

BT & Sal ignite the debate over Pete Alonso's future with the Mets, reacting fiercely to an industry rumor suggesting the team's max offer might be a "disrespectful" two-plus-one-year deal. They question whether owner Steve Cohen will intercede to secure the fan-favorite slugger and explore a major report that the Mets are ready to "blow up" the roster, making established players like Nimmo and McNeil available for trade. NFL Insider Brian Baldinger joins the show to unleash on the Giants' dysfunction. Baldy calls out injured running back Cam Skattebo's bizarre appearance and physical involvement at Monday Night Raw and slams rookie Abdul Carter's repeated unexcused absences, highlighting the team's critical lack of veteran leadership. Baldy also breaks down the AFC power rankings (leaning toward Baltimore) and praises the Jets' decision to play Tyrod Taylor to assess their young receiving talent.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Baldy, Jamie, Raj and Stu look ahead to the 2025-26 Ashes series between Australia and England. As usual, the Ashes hype machine has been in overdrive in recent months, but the cricket is finally (almost) here and the Top Order team are fizzing. We talk squads and potential line ups, key players and matchups, grounds and conditions, storylines to watch for and make our predictions for the series. How much will the Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood injuries hurt Australia? How excited are the English to unleash Jofra Archer and Mark Wood on an under-pressure Australian top order? Will Joe Root and Steve Smith imprint their class on the series? Will Nathan Lyon have an impact? Is it Scott Boland's time to shine? Can Harry Brook Bazball Australia to dust? Or will Marnus Labuschagne bounce back in a big way? And can Ben Stokes' boys etch their name into history on Aussie soil? Or will Steve Smith, Pat Cummins & co. inspire another victory for green-and-gold? There's all that and plenty more as we preview a series that's set to provide entertainment galore over the coming weeks.

NFL Insider Brian Baldinger joins the fire, directly blaming Daboll's risky play-calling for the injuries to quarterback Jaxson Dart, specifically citing a dangerous protection call and unnecessary running plays. The conversation shifts to the coaching search, with Sal arguing the Giants job is highly attractive due to Dart, while the hosts slam the "stupid argument" that Belichick's success should be disregarded due to Tom Brady. Finally, in Three Random Questions, the hosts dive into a tricky personal question: If you could take a "Soulmate Test" that reveals your true match, would you do it? The hypothetical leads to humorous and fiery takes on marriage, temptation, and the nature of fate.

We also look ahead to an intriguing Test series between India and South Africa. We start the show by congratulating India on their Women's World Cup win, before moving back to New Zealand where the Black Caps are 2-1 up in their T20 series against the West Indies. There's praise for Matthew Forde, Ish Sodhi and Mark Chapman, plus questions about NZ's death bowling and what the T20 World Cup squad might look like if - and it's looking like a bigger 'if' with each passing day - injured players like Glenn Phillips, Finn Allen, Will O'Rourke and Lockie Ferguson do return. Next we head to India, where Rishabh Pant returns for the home side as they prepare to take on South Africa in what shapes to be the toughest challenge to date for the current World Test Champions. Can Pant and Dhruv Jurel play in the same XI? Is Keshav Maharaj the best spinner in the world? And will India simply be too strong on home soil? We round out the show with the latest Ashes news, which mainly involves asking Baldy his thoughts on the Australian squad for the first Test. Jake Weatherald's inclusion has generated most of the headlines, but will he actually play? And if so, what might that mean for Marnus Labuschagne, Beau Webster, Cameron Green - and even Sam Konstas?

Baldy agrees with the harsh criticism from Giants legend Carl Banks, stating that the All-Pro defensive tackle has lost his "enormous strength" and isn't showing the dominance expected, especially after a backup center handled him with ease. Baldy questions if the issue is a lack of conditioning or explosion but firmly puts the blame on the veteran player, not the coaching. The conversation also touches on the Giants' need to accelerate Jaxson Dart's development with more receiver help, the disastrous "tush push" fumble ruling, Daniel Jones' immediate success away from the Giants with elite talent and coaching, and a look ahead at the Giants' and Jets' remaining schedules.
