Then, JV is joined by Yahoo Sports and Trail Blazers Analytics insider Tom Haberstroh to talk all things Portland Trail Blazers.

Carl and Mike hit the Daily Download - Hawks get a blowout win over the Blazers, and Kuminga continues to impress. NFL combine wraps. Who's the 3rd QB after Mendoza and Simpson? Carson Beck has no hard feelings about his time at UGA and leaving.
What a crappy weekend for the Blazers...where's the Top 5 defense we were sold on...and what's the point of the rest of the regular season... plus the Sports Gods give a Dirt a bone...and how high could Sadiq get drafted after what he did at the Combine?
Don't compare where guys were picked year to year at the same position...should the Blazers be learning from the Magic's all in move to get Bane...and what's the right number per year to extend Deni? Plus, should there be more hype for the World Baseball Classic?

On this Sunday State of the Pacers, Brad and Ryan recap another tough week with losses to the 76ers, Hornets, and Grizzlies. The defense struggled and the offense couldn't keep up, adding to the post All-Star break slide. The clear bright spot was Micah Potter, who had a strong week averaging 20 pts & 5 rbs off the bench, and rookie Kam Jones recorded a double-double on Sunday to round out a solid honorable mention. Looking ahead, the Pacers hit the road for a challenging West Coast trip against tough competition. The Benn Mathurin Bowl will kick things off on Wednesday before tough matchups against the Lakers and Blazers. We close with our usual dose of NBA delusion—Lu Dort, lying for no reason LeBron James, and why there should be some optimism from Pacers fans around recent players returning from Achilles injuries.

Sneaker History Podcast - Sneakers, Sneaker Culture and the Business of Footwear
JT, AKA The Sneaker Savant, has been in the sneaker world long enough to remember when eBay was church, when Dadas sold out, and when nobody questioned either of those things. He's been a fixture in the Sneaker History Discord for years, built a following on Instagram under @TheSneakerSavant, writes over at thesneakersavant.substack.com, and has been quietly one of the most interesting thinkers in this whole space... he just doesn't always show his face.This one gets personal pretty fast. We talk about the Portland gathering and what it meant to finally be in a room full of people who just get it, without needing to explain themselves. We get into why Instagram is broken, why eBay is still our church, and why the algorithm is really good at exactly one thing... flattening culture. JT makes the case that the Dadas were absolutely a thing in Northern California and he's completely right, and we both wonder what stories are being lost because the internet only amplifies what everybody already agrees on.We also get into the sneaker card JT made for the Portland trip, a Jordan card with MJ in a Blazers jersey, how that one piece of cardstock led to a conversation with Ken Black, one of the architects of Nike team sports, which somehow led to JT learning who designed a jersey he'd wanted since he was a kid living in Great Britain. That story alone is worth the listen.This is a conversation about sneakers, but honestly it's more about community, memory, and why the stuff that mattered to us deserves to be documented before it gets lost.In this episode:The Foot Locker chaos on February 13th and what sneaker riots say about where the culture is right now. Why JT stopped buying shoes and started routing them to people who'd actually want them. The eBay rabbit hole that both of us still fall into on the regular, and why eBay is still the best place for actual sneaker knowledge. JT's 265-days-on-Instagram calculation and why the math kind of ruins you. The Portland gathering, getting the invite, and what it felt like to finally be in that room. Making 60 Jordan/Blazers cards by hand, how that one move changed the whole second night. Ken Black, Drake Ramberg, the Arsenal jersey, and how sneaker passion creates these connections that genuinely could not be planned. Why Steph Curry wearing Chris Webber's Dadas matters more than most people gave it credit for. And the argument that Substack might be the only platform left where regional sneaker stories and real cultural memory can survive.Follow JT the Sneaker Savant:Substack: thesneakersavant.substack.comInstagram: @TheSneakerSavantWebsite: TheSneakerSavant.comSUPPORT THE SHOW:Donate Through Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/sneakerhistoryBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/nickengvallEarly Access, Exclusive Videos, and Content On Patreon: https://patreon.com/sneakerhistorySubscribe on Substack: https://substack.com/@sneakerhistoryJoin our Discord Community: https://discord.gg/xJFyWmWgzaIf you are interested in advertising to our audience, contact us: podcast@sneakerhistory.comCHECK OUT OUR OTHER SHOWS:For the Formula 1 Fans - Exhaust Notes: https://exhaustnotes.fmFor the Fitted Hat Fans - Crown and Stitch: https://crownandstitch.comFor the Cars & Sneakers Fans - Cars & Kicks: https://carsxkicks.comFor the Creators & Creatives - Outside The Box: https://podcasts.apple.com/id/podcast/outside-the-box-convos-with-creators/id1050172106[Links contain...
