Our beloved Fr. Ernie reflects on Bartimaeus leaping up to follow Jesus even though he doesn't know that Jesus is headed to the cross. Are you willing to follow Jesus into the unknown? 

12-14-2023 Passed Ball Show. John spends this program explaining why Major League Baseball went out of its way to implement a soft salary cap in the form of a luxury tax and the reasons the league insisted it needed to be done. John then calls to task the same sport for allowing for the most clear manipulation of the very thing it seemed insistent on preventing. Catchers' framing is cheating, just cheating that is legal and not frowned upon. So apparently is deferring a player's agreed to salary for no other reason than to manipulate the luxury tax number. Another example of selected crimes that are okay. John makes a case of why Draymond Green continues to find himself in trouble with the NBA. Maybe he really does not want to play anymore. During today's #savingsportshistory segment, John talks about Jack Dempsey, Marcel Dionne, the Miami Heat, Mike Gartner, Steph Curry, Ernie Davis, George Gipp, Elston Howard, and Roger Maris.

Back in 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic caused worldwide angst and turmoil, a show debuted on Apple TV+ that emphasized the importance of hope and believing in yourself. “Ted Lasso,” which recently concluded its third season, has been a feel-good television hit from the first episode. Early in the third season, the show introduced a new character, Zava, who was never lacking in confidence and self-belief. While Zava's bravado jumps off the screen, fans of the show might not know that the real-life actor who plays Zava is Maximilian Osinski '06, who never played a minute of soccer in his life. On this “'Cuse Conversation,” Osinski, who earned a bachelor's degree in drama from the College of Visual and Performing Arts, discusses his breakout role on “Ted Lasso” and how he overcame his doubts about whether he could play the world's greatest soccer player. Osinski shares why Syracuse University was his dream school, recalls his first role in a major motion picture: as former Orange football standout Gerhard Schwedes '60 in the Ernie Davis '62 biopic, "The Express," explores how being born in a refugee camp to immigrant parents inspired him to pursue his dreams and more.

[NB: Due to file-corruption issues, this episode's sound isn't stellar; apologies for any inconvenience!] Critics were kindly disposed towards The Express, a well-meaning Ernie Davis bio-pic that seems to count on knee-jerk positive responses to 1) sports movies that 2) defy bigotry. It's done well, mostly, even though the dialogue really isn't how people speak to each other, mostly, and the traditional football-feelm structure wastes certain excellent actors while giving others more than they can handle -- so we're landing on "creditable, but not crucial." The Quaidosity is a more ambiguous prospect; after SDB regrettably uses the phrase "liminal space," we ponder the changing nature of the "qua" in "Quaid Qua Quaid," and DQ's transition from rakish pilot to avuncular coach/cop. Will Roy Williams-branded cliché containers, teratomae of movie rage, and the birth of a weird Brittany Murphy runner add up to a victory for our side?

Talvez o episódio dessa semana poderia estar passando em programas vespertinos do SBT. Brincadeiras a parte, trouxemos o “caso” Davi Belfort para a mesa e decidimos falar sobre o QB de high school que vem tendo um bom hype. É isso mesmo que vc leu, um QB brasileiro com hype no recrutamento de grandes universidades. Tem muita matéria em jornal brasileiro, dizendo que ele é um recruta 4 estrelas, ou seja, melhor rankeado do que Patrick Mahomes e Russell Wilson foram. No entanto, o que sabemos do prodígio Belfort, além de ser filho de Joana Prado e Vitor Belfort? Sabemos muito pouco e precisamos parar um instante e pensar na carga que seus pais e toda a mídia estão trazendo para apenas um adolescente. Enfim, nesse episódio também discutimos sobre um “detetive de infrações” na NBA e o começo dos playoffs da NFL. Então coloca o teu fone de ouvido, acessa o teu agregador de podcast preferido e aperta o play no 125º episódio do zone cast, você vi se divertir e se informar bastante!

Hear him share stories of his friendships with Ernie Davis and Muhammad Ali, including great info on the famous "Cleveland Summit" with Ali, Jim Brown, Bill Russell, and many other sports superstars. In college, he helped the Colorado Buffaloes to the Orange Bowl. John worked as a scout for the Dallas Cowboys for 16 years, then worked for the Eagles and Ravens. He now chairs the Fritz Pollard Alliance. He worked with Commissioner Pete Rozelle and other NFL legends to establish an important program to develop African-Americans for coaching and front office positions.

Jackson's character in "Django Unchained." Did it hurt Kaepernick? 7:20 Kaepernick in context: Ali, Brown, and other civil rights leaders whose skills made them impossible not to hire. 10:00 The hard truth about America: if Kaepernick's protest is going to be successful, more white players will need to take a knee. 12:04 There are plenty of NFL players who committed actual crimes, but get to play afterwards. Leonard Little, Michael Vick, Donte Stallworth, Kevin Mack, to name a few. 15:40 The thing about solidarity is that if everyone kneels, you have to find a whole new team. 17:20 We compare teams huddling in protest and teams huddling in prayers. 18:23 Confessions of Recovering Skins Fans - why do so many Washington natives stand passively by about their team's racist name and racist logo? 19:22 If you're the Washington Football team with the most racist history of any team in the NFL, you don't have the moral authority left to belligerently defend the mascot. 21:15 What must it have been like for Ernie Davis, Bobby Mitchell, John Nisby, and Ron Hatcher to integrate the NFL, particularly the reluctant Washington team? 25:50 The Washington Redtails 27:27 Troy shouts out his Steelers as an example of a team that gets out in front of many social justice issues. #rooneyrule 29:01 STFU James Harrison dot tumblr dot com? 29:34 Our favorite TV shows and movies! 33:58 Was Cha-Ka, who, incidentally, was played by a white actor who grew up to become a litigation support manager the "black" character on Land of the Lost? 36:27 TV truth 1/3: Benny Hill, the Cinemax of the 70's. 38:00 TV truth 2/3: As tired parents, some of us enjoy our Judge Judy and Atlanta Housewives. Don't judge. 38:52 TV truth 3/3: most of us watched Dukes of Hazzard. The racism was overt and covert. 41:15 We declare a winner in Power vs. Empire, but give Empire a big handicap. 43:32 To binge or not to binge? 44:00 Whyyy are people so compelled to spoil on social media? 48:01 Troy gives us some TV watching homework - the best kind of homework: Watching Ozark. 48:45 Each hero offers up their favorite movies of all time. 52:20 Is Christian Bale the best Batman ever? And who was the worst? Our heros hit this tangent hard. Apparently it is up for debate. 54:10 Willie channels his inner New York Times movie critic by prefacing his top five of all time with a monologue about his dating life and theories on Rom Coms vs. Dramas with Romantic Themes. Pulitzer on line one. Our favorite movies: Jayme's faves: Best Man, Boys in the Hood, The Notebook, The Shawshank Redemption, The Dark Night Rises Willie's faves: The Bridges of Madison County, Jungle Fever, The Last Mistress, Dangerous Liaisons, 500 Days of Summer, Lost in Translation. Honorable mention to Celeste and Jesse Forever Troy's faves: Friday, Goodfellas, Inception, Godfather (Scarface is in top 10.)
