Podcasts about Bracket

MLB's playoff format is under fire, with the Yankees' path exposing why the bracket system and lack of reseeding can create frustrating matchups. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate the flaws in the setup, why facing the Rays in a best-of-five could actually benefit the Yankees, and whether MLB could overhaul the postseason under a new CBA. The conversation turns to an even wilder possibility: letting the best teams choose their playoff opponents. Evan and Tiki imagine the drama, insults and incredible television that could follow from a live selection show. Plus, they discuss the Yankees' pitching plans, Gerrit Cole's importance and the team's travel trouble getting to Tampa.

On this episode of the DAILY HUSTLE, host Eric Byrnes discusses the MLB playoffs, highlighting key games and teams. He also proposes an 18-team playoff bracket in both leagues to increase competitive balance and fan engagement. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

With the first month of the season completed, Fox Sports' lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt evaluates what we've seen on the field so far and predicts who will make the College Football Playoff in December, going through his Championship Game projections and all 12 seeds. Who does he see as the #1 seed? How many teams will come out of the Big Ten and SEC? Will teams like Ohio State and Oregon be able to overcome early-season losses and make the field? Will Texas, Georgia or Alabama miss out on the SEC Championship Game and a bye? Which teams currently in the Top 10 will miss out on the Playoff? Klatt also reacts to other results over the weekend and examines the trajectories for programs like Texas A&M and Wisconsin as well as a UCLA team that could make an Indiana-style playoff run. He wraps up the show by discussing the Senate passing The Save College Sports Act and explains what it could change for programs around the country.

Todo listo para la post temporada y por eso esta entrada del podcast de los Orioles de Baltimore en español también se incluye en Ponche y Jonrón, que es el podcast de la pelota en general y que vamos a rescatar porque lo tenía olvidado y es para hablar de toda la pelota y no solo de los Orioles de Baltimore. En esta entrada voy a hablar de lo que pienso de cada uno de los 6 equipos que por la liga americana van a empezar la fiesta de octubre.

For fifteen years, the estate planning playbook said the same thing: get assets out of your estate before you die. That advice made sense when the exemption was $5 million. It makes a lot less sense now that it's $15 million per person and $30 million per married couple, and permanent.In the first episode of our six-part Tax Alpha Protocol series, David Chudyk, CFP®, is joined by wealth strategist Cliff Morgan, founder of Net Worth Accelerant. They break down what the One Big Beautiful Bill Act actually locked in, the SALT deduction trap hiding between $500K and $600K of income, and why gifting appreciated assets during your lifetime can quietly hand your heirs a seven- or eight-figure capital gains bill.In This EpisodeThe federal estate exemption is $15M per person ($30M per couple) for 2026 and permanent. For most families, capital gains is now the bigger threat.Gifting appreciated assets during life passes along your low basis. Assets inherited at death get a step-up in basis.If your MAGI sits between roughly $500K and $600K, the SALT phase-out can push your marginal rate into the mid-to-high 40s.The expanded SALT cap expires January 1, 2030. Plan around it now, not in 2029.Residents of states with their own estate tax, and business owners with valuable companies, may need a custom strategy.Donate appreciated securities directly; never sell first and donate the cash.What the One Big Beautiful Bill Act Locked InSigned on July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) removed the cliff that had high-net-worth families scrambling. Instead of the estate exemption falling to roughly $7 million per person when the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act sunset, it rose to $15 million per person for 2026 and will be indexed for inflation going forward.Income tax brackets are permanent: 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and a top rate of 37% (instead of reverting to 39.6%).Bracket creep protection: bracket thresholds keep adjusting for inflation every year, so a cost-of-living raise doesn't automatically push you into a higher bracket.Charitable cash gifts: the 60%-of-AGI limit is now permanent. But starting in 2026, itemizers only get a deduction for contributions above 0.5% of AGI, and corporations only above 1% of taxable income (still capped at 10%).The Asterisk: State Estate TaxesThe federal number isn't the only number. Roughly a dozen states plus Washington, D.C. levy their own estate tax with far lower exemptions, as low as $1 million in Oregon. If you live in one of them, you need a custom strategy.And business owners get there faster than they think. David raised the point on air: a company doing a few million in revenue with healthy EBITDA can be worth $7–9 million on paper, even if you don't have anywhere near that in cash. Add a couple of well-funded 401(k)s and a house, and a "huge" state exemption stops looking so huge.The SALT "Squeeze Zone"The state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap jumped from $10,000 to $40,000 for 2025 ($40,400 for 2026), rising 1% a year through 2029. That's real money for people who itemize. But there are two catches.Catch #1: the income test. Once your modified adjusted gross income passes roughly $500,000, you lose 30 cents of that extra deduction for every dollar you earn above the threshold, until you're back down to the $10,000 floor at around $600,000. Inside that band, your effective marginal rate spikes.Catch #2: the expiration date. On January 1, 2030, the expansion disappears and the cap drops back to $10,000 for everyone.Cliff's example: a specialist earning around $500,000 agrees to pick up one extra ER shift. Because every extra dollar also shrinks their SALT deduction, the federal tax on that shift lands in the mid-to-high 40% range. Nearly half the shift, gone. The fix is planning ahead: maximizing pre-tax retirement contributions and timing deductions to keep MAGI below the phase-out while the window is open.Carryover Basis vs. Step-Up in BasisThis is the heart of the episode. Two sections of the tax code have worked the same way for decades. What changed is the context around them.Section 1015 (lifetime gifts): if you give an asset while you're alive, the recipient inherits your original cost basis, along with every dollar of unrealized gain.Section 1014 (inheritance): if that same asset passes at death, the basis resets to fair market value on the date of death. The built-up gain isn't deferred. It's gone.David's illustration: $10,000 invested in Microsoft roughly 40 years ago would be worth about $62 million today (past performance is not indicative of future results). Gift those shares to your kids while you're alive and they're holding a $10,000 basis. If they sell, the federal capital gains tax alone runs well north of $10 million. Leave the shares to them at death, and that gain is wiped clean.When the estate tax kicked in at $2 or $5 million, paying that basis cost to dodge a 40% estate tax often made sense. At $15 to $30 million, the math has flipped for the overwhelming majority of families."Don't let 2017-era tax anxiety drive a 2026 decision. The law changed, the threats changed, and the playbook has to change with it." David Chudyk, CFP®Three Filters Before You Gift an AssetHow much growth has already happened? A low-basis asset that has already done most of its appreciating usually favors holding until death. Gifting it just turns a future tax-free event into a taxable one.How much room is left to run? Early-stage assets, like pre-IPO equity or a young, fast-growing business, can be better lifetime-gift candidates, but only if moving that future growth out of your estate actually changes your outcome.Are you charitably inclined? Gifting appreciated securities directly to a charity or donor-advised fund can be the cleanest move on the board: no capital gain, a fair-market-value deduction, and no basis problem. Just don't sell first and donate the cash, which gives up the benefit.The "Wrong" Financial Decision Can Be the Right Life DecisionNot every choice should be optimized for taxes. Paying a grandchild's tuition or helping with a first car while you're here to see it can be worth a tax bill. As David puts it: don't make every decision based on taxes, and don't make decisions without considering taxes. Your health, life expectancy, and goals all belong in the conversation.Doing Some of Both: Securities-Backed Lines of CreditSometimes it doesn't have to be either/or. A securities-backed line of credit lets you borrow against a portfolio instead of selling it, so you can help family now without realizing the gain, while the shares can still receive a step-up at death. The loan is repaid from the estate, and Cliff noted that life insurance can be used to replace that amount for heirs if you're insurable.It's a tool, not a free lunch: you pay interest, market drops can trigger collateral calls, and a large gift to a family member still counts as a gift for reporting purposes. This is exactly the kind of move to model with an advisor before you pull the trigger."If you really know how the game is played and you can play the game, it's truly to your advantage." Cliff MorganWho Not HowDavid closes with one of his favorite ideas from Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan's Who Not How: when you face a complex problem, ask "who can help me solve this?" instead of "how do I figure this out myself?" A surgeon, a business owner, or any high earner creates the most value doing what they're trained for, not reading the tax code at midnight.Your Vision Deserves 10 MinutesNot sure whether to gift now, hold for the step-up, or do some of both?

IT'S BRACKET TIME! 2000s TV THEMES HEAD TO HEAD ONLY ONE CAN REMAIN

Should you stop your Roth conversions at the 22% tax rate, or push into the 24% bracket?  David McKnight responds to a viewer's detailed case for stopping early, revealing why optimizing this year's tax bill can be the wrong retirement planning move over a 30-year horizon. You'll discover his "rip the band-aid off" approach and why saving money on taxes today isn't a victory if it costs you more tomorrow. In a recent video, David McKnight explained why he believes the 24% tax bracket is the sweet spot in the current tax code for Roth conversions. In this episode, he addresses a viewer's comment that laid out a pretty detailed case for why he believes it makes sense to stop at the 22% bracket. The main difference between these approaches, David stresses, is that his viewer is optimizing the tax bill in the year of conversion – while David tries to optimize your tax bill over the balance of your lifetime.  David illustrates why those two approaches can lead you in two entire different directions. Depending on the size of your IRA, the amount you're spending every year, your expected rate of return, and how many years you have before RMDs begin, you may simply not have enough space in the 22% bracket to get any meaningful amount of conversion done. Most of David's clients don't have $100,000 per year of taxable investment income coming out of a brokerage account. The lion's share of their retirement savings tends to be sitting in IRAs and 401(k)s, and they're generally taking distributions from those accounts to support their lifestyle. David discusses his so-called "rip the band-aid off" approach to Roth conversions. The biggest problem with his viewer's argument is the focus on calculating what it costs to convert the money today, without asking what it's going to cost if we don't convert it. The choice may be between paying a somewhat painful tax rate today or allowing that money to compound inside the IRA for another 10-15 years.  That may lead you to deal with larger RMDs, potentially higher tax rates, more taxation of social security, potentially more IRMAA, and the eventual death of one of the spouses. David wonders whether, with the approach suggested by his viewer, you're actually solving the problem or just postponing it. "Because saving money on taxes today isn't much of a victory if doing so ultimately causes you to pay even more over a 30-year retirement", he concludes.

What a long season! So long we barely even remembered all the movies and podcast specific awards that went on during this season. We had some very high highs for movies, and some very low lows, which makes this bracket and award show very fun. Thanks for listening and join us next season for a wild one.

Zach the Bold joins us in the mine today for a special guest episode! A player definitely isn't salty about their friend's proxied Bracket 4 Urza deck, how tracking games can lead to a spiral of salt to try to chase those wins, and removal spell is deflected with a new free spell: bribery (not the one you're thinking of). Also Zach loves Code Red, Jake and Amir does it again, and QuiGon wigs. Stay Salty! Sam, Mike, & Tony Timestamps!: 00:00:00 Intro! 00:01:23 Zach the Bold talks CLOTHES 00:08:10 Zach's Magic origins, getting salty, and D&D! 00:32:50 What is Salt? 00:35:35 Story 1: Proxied Bracket 4 Urza & Friends 00:53:42 Story 2: The Tragedy of Tracking Games 01:08:10 Story 3: Deflecting Dollar 01:20:54 Salty Card of the Week! 01:34:19 Outro! Have you ever been salty while playing Magic the Gathering? This is the show for you. The Howling Salt Mine is a Magic the Gathering comedy/advice podcast where we read salty stories from the community about games gone wrong, frustrating interactions, and challenging playgroup dynamics. Stories range from frustrating FNMs, getting pubstomped by that jerk at your LGS, and lots of commander stories where the salt is plentiful. We offer advice on how to deal with the frustrations of losing, how to avoid (or use) the saltiest cards in EDH, and how to navigate social situations. Join Sam, Mike, and Tony each week as we delve into the salty, salty mines of the community, put some salt in our mine cart, and bring it right back up to our dear prospectors listening at home. ____ Email your salty stories to thehowlingsaltmine@gmail.com!

Episode 184 of Tablesetters is LIVE! The MLB postseason picture is taking shape, but the American League bracket is exposing one of the biggest flaws in the current playoff format. Aaron Judge is finally back in the Yankees lineup after a 99-day absence, Jesús Luzardo just threw himself even deeper into a loaded NL Cy Young race and some recent Josh Donaldson comments have us asking just how much influence Jomboy really has on Aaron Boone. We open the show with a look at MLB's fixed playoff bracket and whether it's finally time to re-seed after the Wild Card Series. If the season ended today, Tampa Bay, New York and Boston — the three best teams in the American League by record — would all be stuck on the same side of the bracket, while the other path to the ALCS would feature teams with considerably worse records. Winning your division should matter, but should a No. 1 seed really be rewarded with a potentially more difficult path than the No. 2 seed? We break down the format, what re-seeding could look like and whether MLB has created an unnecessary postseason problem. We also get into Aaron Judge's long-awaited return to the Yankees lineup after missing nearly 100 days with a rib injury. New York survived without its captain, but the underlying offensive numbers tell a much different story about just how badly this lineup missed him. With less than three weeks remaining and the Yankees still chasing Tampa Bay, we discuss what Judge's return could mean for the stretch run. Then there's the National League Cy Young race, which somehow keeps getting more interesting. Jesús Luzardo delivered a complete-game shutout against Atlanta and has forced his way into a conversation that already includes Chris Sale, Cristopher Sánchez and Jacob Misiorowski. There are dominant rate stats, massive strikeout totals, innings arguments and now a signature late-season performance to sort through. Who actually deserves the award right now? Take the Pitch/Swing Away returns with three debates: Is Pete Crow-Armstrong's 2026 season actually more impressive than Ronald Acuña Jr.'s historic 40/70 campaign? Will the Angels become contenders quickly once Stan Kroenke takes over the franchise? And after Josh Donaldson's recent comments, does Jomboy have more influence over Aaron Boone and the Yankees lineup than anyone realizes? Plus, Red Hot Ice Cold returns as we check in on some of the hottest and coldest players in baseball without giving away who landed where. And, as always, we're Coming Around 3rd to close it out.

Hector and CJ host this episode of The Pull List Podcast, covering comic news, recent pulls, standout artwork and writing, spiritual themes in Spider-Man/Hulk: Fire and Brimstone, and a full bracket to determine the best unpowered superhero. The episode moves from Spider-Man, Detective Comics, Absolute Green Arrow, Tailspin, and The Last Driver into a surprisingly thoughtful conversation about Hulk seeking spiritual help before Batman, Nightwing, Black Widow, Cassandra Cain, Iron Man, and more battle their way through the unpowered superhero bracket. Along the way, Hector and CJ bring their usual mix of comics commentary, clean humor, faith discussion, and friendly arguments about what makes a character—and a comic—worth coming back to. 

In today's MadTech Daily, we discuss the FTC and states suing Amazon over alleged ad-price manipulation, Brussels putting ChatGPT in the same bracket as Google and ushering in tougher rules, and Australia's digital ad spend hitting a four-year high, climbing 14% to AUD$19.8bn (£10.45bn).
