The NFL season has gotten underway and there's plenty to discuss there and in college football, plus, the passing of an NHL analyst legend for the last four decades on ESPN, too. It's all covered on the newest "LWOS Media Podcast!"Host T.J. Rives welcomes Ken Fang of Awful Announcing to go over it all. They discuss:Netflix debuts with the NFL in Australia with the 49ers and the Rams. It was strange that the game was actually on Friday late morning there and the Rams were almost a mental "no show" while being beaten. How did the broadcast go, including the big stage for new game analyst Luke Kuechly on Netflix? The boys also discuss JJ Watt bumping up to the CBS #1 teams with Jim Nantz for Minnesota vs. Green Bay. Is Watt going to shine in this huge role/opportunity? Plus, what other CBS analyst caught Ken's eye? And, the guys discuss the "Manning-cast" and it's growth on Monday Night Football.There is also more about the Texas Longhorns massive comeback from 20 points down to defeat Ohio State dramatically. And what about coach Steve Sarkisian's behavior towards ESPN and Holly Rowe for the post game interview? And, then young star QB Arch Manning went along with a joke about an internet meme of Sarkisian hitting Holly Rowe and reporters laughed about it. He's now apologized and she has accepted. Then, they spend time on the passing of ESPN's Barry Melrose at 70 years of age from Parkinson's disease Melrose has been a mainstay on ESPN's NHL coverage going back to the mid-1990s. They guys reminisce about his personality, humor and how beloved he was by co-workers.Also, where's the line on "how late is too late" for the U.S. Open tennis as the men's match with Ben Shelton and Carlos Alcaraz went on and on and on, until 3:#0 am Eastern last Wednesday early morning?It's all discussed on the newest "Last Word on Sports Media Podcast" and make sure to follow/subscribe on Apple/Spreaker/Spotify, etc.! Follow, Like and Comment on the Show:AppleSpotifyAmazon MusicCome talk with TJ on X:@ItsTJRives

Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens join Mitch to break down Seattle's gritty 13-10 win after Sam Darnold's early injury forced Drew Lock into action. They assess Lock's impressive relief performance, Brian Fleury's adjustments and a possible Jalen Milroe package before digging into Ja'Darian Price's debut, another huge night from Jaxon Smith-Njigba and an encouraging Seahawks defense led by Nehemiah Pritchett and a deep, well-coached secondary.

John realized he has a back and wonders why there isn't more alcohol that taste like red licorice instead of black. He reflects on the beauty that was Barry Melrose and prepares to cook pork chops. 

On this episode of No Credentials Required, Ryan and Dustin begin on a somber note as they remember longtime ESPN hockey analyst, former NHL player, and coach Barry Melrose, who passed away this week at age 70. We look back at the personality, humor, passion, and unmistakable style that made Melrose one of hockey's most recognizable voices for decades. Then we turn our attention to the opening week of the 2026 NFL season. We break down Seattle's 13-10 comeback win over New England on Wednesday night and San Francisco's dominant 27-7 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia. Finally, we preview the rest of NFL Week 1 by looking at the games, players, storylines, and individual matchups that intrigue us the most — along with a few games that might have us reaching for the remote.

The first Sunday of the NFL season kicks off in several hours. The GURU makes his season predictions and his Super Bowl teams. You gotta give Texas a lot of credit. Down by 20 points in the fourth quarter, teams were 0-197, but Arch Manning led the Longhorns over the Ohio State Buckeyes in Austin. Earlier this week, we lost a great mind in the hockey world. Barry Melrose was the most prominent voice on ESPN when talking about the NHL. Melrose was 70. Aryna Sabalenka lost the US Open title to Elena Rybakina, the Wimbledon champ. America Ben Shelton will take on the world's number one, Alexander Zverev for the Championship. We also take a few minutes to remember 25 years after September 11th. Thanks for listening and enjoy the rest of your NFL Sunday.

Steph Curry has earned virtually unlimited goodwill in Golden State. But is that goodwill about to face its toughest test?On this episode of On The Ball, Ric Bucher challenges the annual fantasy that Curry and the Warriors have one more championship run left in them. Golden State is coming off a 37-win season, made no transformative offseason addition and is relying on a 38-year-old superstar whose workload already has to be carefully managed. Yet Curry could remain among the NBA's highest-paid players for years to come.Ric explains why Curry deserves every dollar after transforming the Warriors and the NBA—but also why his salary, age and diminished supporting cast create a late-career situation unlike the ones faced by Magic Johnson, Larry Bird or Michael Jordan. Can Warriors fans simply enjoy Curry's remaining magic without expecting another championship? And if the losses pile up, will they?Ric also looks beyond the NBA storylines the national networks are likely to push, explaining why Oklahoma City and San Antonio are more compelling than LeBron James' first week in Philadelphia, why the Western Conference may be more top-heavy than wide open, and why the Eastern Conference could become the NBA's real battleground after a massive migration and consolidation of star talent.Plus: why last season's panic over tanking was overblown, and Ric closes with a personal remembrance of his former ESPN colleague Barry Melrose and the lesson he took from not reaching out before it was too late.TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Welcome to On The Ball01:16 – The NBA storylines Ric believes actually matter01:40 – Why the LeBron-in-Philadelphia hype misses the point02:55 – OKC and San Antonio: the matchup Ric really wants to see03:40 – The annual Steph Curry “one more ring” fantasy04:25 – Why the Warriors no longer look like contenders05:03 – Curry's next contract and the coming test of Warriors fans05:21 – Ric addresses his history with Golden State06:15 – How team relationships influence sports media coverage07:38 – Why access has become king in sports television07:43 – Ric's real feelings about Steph Curry and the Warriors09:02 – Why the end of the Warriors dynasty fascinates Ric09:30 – What makes Curry different from past NBA icons10:25 – Bird, Magic and Jordan: how legends exited the NBA12:11 – Why Curry's late-career situation is different13:05 – The reality of Golden State's chances in the West14:09 – Does Curry deserve to remain one of the NBA's highest paid?15:16 – Why Curry's salary could eventually create backlash16:07 – The limits of Steph's late-career magic17:03 – The dilemma: Golden State needs more Curry but must play him less17:28 – Enjoy the Steph Curry show—without expecting another trophy18:06 – Why the Eastern Conference could deliver the NBA's best drama18:59 – How deep could the East really be?19:24 – Why the NBA's tanking panic was overblown20:15 – Remembering Barry Melrose21:34 – Ric's regret—and the lesson Barry's death left behind22:41 – Final thoughts and sign-off#NBA #StephenCurry #StephCurry #Warriors #GoldenStateWarriors #LeBronJames #76ers #Thunder #Spurs #EasternConference #BarryMelrose #OnTheBall #RicBucherSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

Aaron Judge is back for the Yankees, Seattle survives New England in the NFL opener, and Sports Chasers pays tribute to hockey legend Barry Melrose — all in one stacked Thursday Night Live episode.

The NFL season kicked off with the Seahawks beating the Patriots in a late-blooming fourth quarter, where Sam Darnold's early injury proved the vital need for competent backup Drew Lock. Jerry's first update breaks down Drake Maye's game-ending end-zone interception, alongside post-game takes from Mike Macdonald, Mike Vrabel, and Maye himself. Plus, George Lombard Jr. crushes a grand slam in a Yankees win over the Rockies, Rutgers coach Steve Pikiell reveals a cancer diagnosis, and we remember the late Barry Melrose. Finally, we look at why the Rams are football's Dodgers and if the 49ers' championship window is officially closing.

Jerry has the sounds of Drake Maye's terrible interception in the end zone with under 30 seconds to play. We heard from Mike Macdonald after the game about Lock coming in and playing well. Mike Vrabel said the Patriots were not good enough. Kyle Shanahan is happy Aaron Donald is not playing tonight. John Harbaugh got annoyed with all the Malik Nabers questions. We heard George Lombard Jr's grand slam as the Yankees beat the Rockies. Rutgers basketball coach Steve Pikiell revealed he has cancer and Barry Melrose passed away at the age of 70.

The NFL kickoff headlines today's show as we break down the Seahawks' victory over the Patriots, Sam Darnold's early injury, Drew Lock stepping up in relief, and Drake Maye's costly fourth-quarter interceptions. We react to post-game takes from Mike Macdonald, Mike Vrabel, and Cooper Kupp, address John Harbaugh's frustration with Malik Nabers questions, and examine why the Rams are football's team to beat as the 49ers' window closes. On the diamond, high-scoring action from the Mets and Marlins tops football points, while George Lombard Jr.'s grand slam and Aaron Judge's return power a Yankees win over the Rockies. Plus, we cover Rutgers coach Steve Pikiell's cancer diagnosis and remember the late Barry Melrose.

Hour 3 (9.09) Santa Anita pulled its permit to cut 34 protected oaks for the 2028 Olympic course. Plus: Barry Melrose, who took the Gretzky Kings to the Cup Final, dead at 70. (161 characters) 8:05 — A 25-year-old was arrested Monday night near Kris Jenner's place after her private security stopped him in the neighborhood. Deputies booked him on suspicion of stalking; he's charged with one misdemeanor count of trespassing. And in Torrance, 499 condo owners each got a bill for more than $49,000 to cover $19 million in re-piping, elevators and a full podium rebuild. 8:20 — Barry Melrose has died at 70. The mullet, the suits, twenty-seven years at ESPN — but in this town he's the guy who walked in as a rookie head coach in 1992 and took Gretzky's Kings to the franchise's first Stanley Cup Final. 8:35 — Malibu declared a local emergency after a sinkhole roughly 30 by 60 feet and 25 to 30 feet deep opened in a driveway on Sea Level Drive. Down in Dana Point, eight homes on Beach Road are red-tagged and one has already been demolished. Meanwhile Santa Anita has hit pause on its permit to remove 34 protected oaks for the Olympic cross-country course, and LADOT wants to cut Sunset down to one lane each way from Silver Lake to downtown. 8:50 — The humidity is the whole story. Downtown's heat index topped out around 116 today, which is why 98 degrees felt like standing in a dryer. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Baker Mayfield's new deal came together in about 48 hours — and he found out while he was at the movies with his kids.Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick go behind the scenes of how the Bucs and Baker Mayfield actually got the extension done: a Monday-night dinner text, a Tuesday call during a family trip to see Cars, and a deal that landed him in a three-way tie for third among NFL quarterbacks in average annual salary. They explain why there was never real animosity between Baker and GM Jason Light despite the "disrespectful" comments, why the Bucs' patience (the same approach that got Vita Vea signed) paid off, and why Baker's entire starting offensive line showed up to his press conference (Ben Bredesen's verdict: "phenomenal leader, phenomenal teammate"). They also use the NFL's chaotic opening night — Sam Darnold going down early for Seattle — to explain exactly what's riding on Tampa Bay's quarterback depth chart if Baker ever goes down behind him.Then it's over to the Rays, winners again in Atlanta (7-2) behind a dominant Griffin Jax outing, holding their four-game lead over the Yankees with the magic number down to 14. Rick and Steve break down why the Rays' remaining schedule is brutal compared to New York's, then dig into a mailbag question on why Chandler Simpson — hitting .300-plus with 41 steals against just 46 strikeouts, on a homecoming week in his native Atlanta — isn't getting more MVP buzz next to teammate Junior Caminero. Plus: the NFL's wild Wednesday-night opener (Drake Maye's three picks, Drew Lock's relief heroics), remembering former Lightning coach Barry Melrose, and why you should circle October 8th on your calendar for a potential four-sport Tampa Bay night.In this episode:How Baker Mayfield's $165M extension actually came together — in 48 hours, at a movie theaterWhy the entire Bucs offensive line showed up to his press conferenceThe QB depth chart: Jalen Daniels vs. Easton Stick if Baker goes downRays win again in Atlanta: Griffin Jax dazzles, magic number drops to 14Chandler Simpson's historic season and the Rays' MVP debate (mailbag)NFL opening night chaos: Sam Darnold's injury and Drake Maye's rough debutRemembering former Lightning coach Barry MelroseWhy October 8th could be a four-sport night in Tampa BaySend your mailbag questions to @SportsDayTB on X or email rstroud@tampabay.com.
