TBLS EP 591 Introduction and show info (0:00) The hosts, Brian Beckner and Ed Daily, introduce themselves and the show, noting that it's episode 591 and "seems like just yesterday we did 500." They confirm that the show is likely to end on December 31st of this year. They also provide contact information: "mailbag at the baller lifestyle.com" for emails, a phone number for voicemails, and a reminder to subscribe to their Patreon for bonus content. Michigan Football and Biff Pogge (1:05) The hosts discuss the suspension of Michigan's coach, which they assume is related to the "whole Connor Stallions thing." They are surprised to learn that Biff Pogge is the interim coach for the next two games, recalling him from a previous podcast episode and describing him as a "blast from our past." A discussion of past podcasts (3:08) The hosts lament never getting around to doing their NFL preview for the season. They reflect on the increasing shortness of their shows and joke about the pre-show routine involving Brian eating half a watermelon, which he says "is my pre-show snack ritual." People who died this week (4:23) The hosts list several people who have recently passed away: Cigar Kundu (4:23), a 22-year-old YouTuber from Bangladesh who died after slipping and falling into a waterfall. Ken Dryden (6:08), a "six-time Stanley Cup-winning goaltender" for the Montreal Canadiens. Davey Johnson (6:52), "the 86 Mets manager." George Raveling (7:48), a Hall of Fame basketball coach who famously secured the original copy of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, which is now on display in a museum. Graham Green (9:05), an actor known for his role in Dances with Wolves. Sports stories (11:25) The hosts discuss a series of bizarre sports events: A Missouri fan at the Kansas game "just kinda walks onto the field and kicks a field goal at the Kansas sideline" out of spite. A Phillies fan who loudly demanded a home run ball from a man and his son, which Brian describes as "a disgusting example of fandom." The controversy surrounding Laura Rutledge's "burner account" on X (formerly Twitter), which she allegedly used to "defend her husband." Miscellaneous topics (16:35) They talk about James Dolan, the New York Knicks owner, who allegedly "digitally edited his own face onto a munchkin in a Wizard of Oz show" for the Sphere. They also mention a story about the Clippers getting a "ridiculous tree-planting donation that's tied to their salary cap," which they joke is a "weird, weird scandal." Voicemails (20:30) They attempt to play listener voicemails but are hampered by technical difficulties. Brian notes, "The voicemails are not working, which they never do." Ed also gives an update on his injured toe, saying he had to "pop it back in" after it was dislocated. More voicemails and a Christmas mug (23:05) They successfully play voicemails from "Katie Shady" and "LSU." Brian shares a story about seeing a man "drinking from a Christmas mug in September." Conclusion (25:07) The hosts wrap up the episode. Ed brings up his "half birthday," which is coming up this week on September 11th. Brian thanks the listeners and signs off, stating, "My name is Brian Beckner. This has been episode number 591 of the Ball Lifestyle podcast. We will see you next week. Goodbye."

Raveling passed away early this month at 88 after living a life shaped by being in the right place at the right time — and knowing what to do when he got there. As a boy, after losing his father and seeing his mother institutionalized, he found stability at a Catholic boarding school. That path led him to become the first African-American basketball player at Villanova … to meet coaching legend Bobby Knight … to join the U.S. Olympic coaching staff in 1984, where he met a young Michael Jordan's and helped guide Jordan toward a Nike contract that would change sports, culture, and business forever. But Raveling's greatest “right place, right time” moment? Standing at the Lincoln Memorial in 1963, when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had just finished speaking. Raveling asked for a copy of the speech — and King handed him the original “I Have a Dream” manuscript. A lesson to all of us on how to get the most out of our moments.

RUNDOWN   Plenty of sports heartbreak — from the Dolphins' ongoing struggles to the Seahawks' gut-punch opener. But there is relief in the Mariners' explosive bats and the Huskies' video-game offense, before shifting gears to launch the annual Beat the Boys contest, presented by Fireside Home Solutions. Listeners get the scoop on how to re-register, this year's lineup of “the boys” (including a new addition, Jason Puckett), and the all-important first password. Along the way, the guys swap birthday trivia, share a Pink backstory you won't forget, and set the stage for a packed show of Seahawks, Mariners, and college football talk. Mitch and Hotshot dive into the Seahawks' frustrating Week 1 loss to the 49ers, where Sam Darnold's quiet debut and Riq Woolen's costly miscues overshadowed a defense that couldn't quite finish the job. They debate Mike Macdonald's decision to kick on a crucial 4th-and-1, the missing downfield threat without DK Metcalf, and whether Seattle's “smashmouth” identity is more talk than reality. Shifting gears, the guys celebrate the Mariners' offensive eruption — 28 runs over two games — that keeps them two games up in the Wild Card race with 19 left, 13 at home. Hope rises in Seattle, but fans have learned to brace for heartbreak. Mitch welcomes Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens to dissect Seattle's 17–13 Week 1 loss to the 49ers. The defense largely held its ground, limiting San Francisco to 17 points, but the offense sputtered behind Sam Darnold and a conservative game plan. The panel debates Mike Macdonald's critical fourth-down decision, the ongoing frustrations with cornerback Riq Woolen, and the lack of offensive balance despite Jackson Smith-Njigba's breakout. Mitch sits down with Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas to break down a much-needed rebound weekend for the Mariners. With Julio Rodríguez heating up, a rotation trying to steady itself, and 13 of the final 19 games at home, the M's are still firmly in the postseason race. The crew debates Seattle's playoff odds, the outlook for Jorge Polanco's contract, and the development of young catcher Harry Ford. Plus, they preview crucial upcoming series against the Cardinals and Angels as the AL West chase tightens. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to recap an eventful Week 2 in college football, from South Florida's upset of Florida to Oregon's early dominance behind quarterback Dante Moore. The two dive into Florida's coaching hot seat, Jedd Fisch's future at Washington, and why Arch Manning's mechanics and rhythm remain under scrutiny as Texas gears up for the SEC gauntlet. Neuheisel also hands out “Chicken Caesar soft tacos” to standout players and duos across the country before making his Week 3 pick: Texas Tech to roll big over Oregon State.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over-Slot Substack Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch & Hotshot Return: Seahawks Frustrations, Dolphins Woes, and Beat the Boys is Back 6:18 | BEAT THE BOYS, Presented by Fireside Home Solutions.

HEADLINES: an NHS surgeon who had his own legs removed to satisfy a fetish was jailed for insurance fraud, a foot model was run over after refusing a date's foot-smelling request, Senator John Kennedy claimed radioactive shrimp will turn you into an alien, and a man in Batman pajamas helped police stop a robbery (with Hotshot's “Boner Man” twist).

Luke Del Rio is the most interesting coach in college football.And today's conversation at Y-Option, fueled by our founding sponsor, 76® - keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat, is one that will inspire, enlighten and may get you on the next flight to Paris.Every quarterback has a story. Few are as layered and compelling as Luke Del Rio's. I've known Luke since he was 16 years old and watching his path as a signal caller, friend and coach has been fascinating.Luke is currently on Jedd Fisch's staff at the University of Washington and his last year in football may one day be a part of a best-selling book. Luke grew up in NFL locker rooms, learning from his father, Jack, a long time NFL head coach. As a player, Luke would spin the ball in Tuscaloosa, Corvallis and complete his playing career as the starting quarterback at Florida.This past summer his journey took an unexpected turn, where he was the offensive coordinator for the Paris Musketeers in the European League of Football.We re-traced that journey on his final night in Paris before he and his family flew back to Seattle to begin the season with the Huskies.We talk about what it means to run your own room for the first time, how the seat feels different when you're the play-caller, and what it was like to share the sideline with his father. We dive into the tension and beauty of that father-son dynamic, the lessons learned from coaching in a foreign land, and the emotional goodbye that brought Luke to tears after their final game.Yet what resonated most was the humanity: the afterglow of nights in Paris spent with family, teammates, and friends–the reminder that football is the vessel, but the people are the payoff.Luke Del Rio is back in the States now, primed for what could be a special season at UW, but his story is proof of what Chris Petersen once told me: your path will never go as you envision it…and that's often the point.Off to State College and to those of you who have sent over notes about the piece on George Raveling, thank you.Much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

I want to tell you the story of a kid, born in 1937 into segregated Washington, D.C. He's 9 when his father dies and 13 when his mother has a mental breakdown, disappears, and is institutionalized. He's effectively orphaned. This is how George Raveling's story begins. Despite being dealt one of the worst cards imaginable, George, now 87, went on to become the most revered basketball coach in the world. He played against Jerry West, the man on the NBA logo. He became only the second black basketball player for Villanova University. And he went on to become the first black coach at several American universities. He'd go on to coach and mentor players like Michael Jordan. And chances are, you probably would've never worn—or even heard of—Air Jordan sneakers if it wasn't for George.  Yet, in all his decades of coaching, the words Head Coach never appeared on his door. Instead, it always read: “George Raveling, Educator.” George has had a bit of a Forrest Gump life, somehow showing up at the most important events in American 20th-century history. He stood next to Martin Luther King Jr. at the March on Washington. He met presidents Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Harry S. Truman. And he traveled the world promoting basketball as an international sport. This is a man who made his own breaks, continues to break glass ceilings, and embodies the American dream. Today on Honestly, Bari Weiss sits down with George to discuss his extraordinary life and his new book, What You're Made For: Powerful Life Lessons from My Career in Sports, which he wrote alongside Ryan Holiday.

Michael Lombardi, who has been a part of championship programs in football; George Raveling who was a longtime basketball coach and loves teaching leadership lessons; and the third person is Kimati Ramsey who is connected to supporting teams and individual athletes with their mental health. A winning trio that helps people to see life lessons through sports. This is part 2 of 3 looking at a Championship Mindset and they are focusing in on “Jalen Hurts led the Philadelphia Eagles to a dominant 40-20 victory over the reigning back-to-back Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, also taking home MVP honors. This wasn't just another win—it was the culmination of a journey filled with trials, setbacks, and relentless perseverance.”  This is the third and final part that I'm reflecting on and sharing some connections to life for most of us that don't play professional sports for a living.  This part is all about Growth that we want to strive for throughout our lifetime.  This third part includes this from the email I got - “We may not be suiting up on Sundays, but in our own ways, we are all competing for the Super Bowl of life—pushing toward our unique opportunities to live, lead, love and serve at our highest calling and levels.” I know that life sure does become more interesting for each of us when we are able to connect to things (and people) that fire us up and inspire us, along with finding things everyday to keep connecting with so we can keep improving.  Again, there are so many things out there to connect with as the saying that “success leaves clues” is always whispering in our ears as we try to live our best life, every single day!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Coaching U Podcast with Coach Brendan Suhr presented by Hudl & Hudl Assist

In this episode Coach Brendan Suhr is joined by three-time NBA Champion BJ Armstrong. BJ reflects on his journey from high school standout at Brother Rice in Michigan to starring at the University of Iowa under legendary coaches George Raveling and Dr. Tom Davis, and later playing for coaching icons like Phil Jackson, Tex Winter, and Chuck Daly during his NBA career. In this episode, BJ shares his unique perspective on coaching and basketball philosophy, emphasizing the importance of defense, rebounding, and building a strong team identity. He provides insights into the Triangle Offense and explains why its principles of spacing, ball movement, and decision-making remain timeless. BJ also discusses Bruce Pearl's use of the "cutters" (flex) offense that he played in while at Iowa and how those concepts have proven to be effective for decades when executed properly.

Join us for Blue Chips, a college basketball movie from 1994 starring Nick Nolte, Shaq O'Neal, Penny Hardaway, Ed O'Neill, Alfre Woodard, Bob Cousy, Mary McDonnell, JT Walsh, Bob Cousy, Matt Nover, Marques Johnson, Robert Wuhl, Bobby, Knight, Rick Pitino, George Raveling, Larry Bird, Dick Vitale… You get the point. Maybe like me, this one grew on you when you realized the movie wasn't about the big game. In 1994, everyone was still taught to believe a player who wanted anything more than a scholarship was a greedy leech with no love for the game…and we just never really asked where all the money did go. This movie did help that conversation along, but it also had some fantastic performances - even by non-actors - some really funny scenes and, of course, probably the best movie basketball playing ever.

James Donaldson had a great college and professional basketball career, a physical therapy business, and many aspirations, even in retirement from sports. But over the course of several years, illness, bankruptcy, divorce, and circumstances in life sent Donaldson into a dark mental spiral. He found his way back, writing a book about his struggles and starting a foundation to help others. In this episode, Donaldson talks with magazine associate editor Adriana Janovich about his struggles with depression and suicidal thoughts, his recovery and memoir, and his desire to help other men, especially men of color, who face the same darkness. Donaldson, a 1979 alum of Washington State University, also talks about his WSU and NBA basketball career, influential coaches George Raveling and Lenny Wilkens, and how the suicide of WSU football player Tyler Hilinski shook him to the core so much that he sought help.  Find out more “Standing Tall” (Profile of Donaldson in the Spring 2022 issue of Washington State Magazine) Celebrating Your Gift of Life: From the Verge of Suicide to a Life of Purpose and Joy (Donaldson's 2021 book) Your Gift of Life (A nonprofit foundation for mental health awareness started by Donaldson) Video and more stories about Donaldson at Washington State Magazine Support the show______________________________________________________________________________Want more great WSU stories?

Michael Lombardi is a former NFL General Manager, a 3X Super Bowl Champion, and somebody who thinks deeply about leadership. He has a daily newsletter with George Raveling called The Daily Coach which aims to be inspiration for people around leadership. Michael is also the author of Gridiron Genius. Michael has been in the trenches with some of the best coaches of all time, specifically Bill Walsh and Bill Belichick. He also spent a lot of his career with Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders. This conversation really gets into culture and leadership, which is really what his book is about as well. More than anything, Michael cares about making people better.   Michael had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “When you have to tell people to call you something and you don't earn it, then there's something wrong with the way you're working” (7:00). “Actions speak louder than titles” (7:10). “The respect you get is the respect you earn based on your level of commitment” (7:20). “In every great organization, alignment starts and ends with everybody knowing their jobs, everybody knowing their roles” (7:45). “I love the idea of building a team” (9:35). “At 13, I knew I wanted to be a general manager” (10:25). “The problem with most organizations is they don't know who they are” (12:45). “We are never able to accelerate what we want until we eliminate what we don't want” (18:10). “When you have structures in place and protocols, now you can diagnostically test what you need” (18:55). “I only wanted to be with people who saw the game the way I saw it” (23:15). “The number one trait that truly great leaders have is they understand what their job is and what it isn't” (27:20). “Great CEOs truly understand what the job is… every decision comes back to ‘Does this benefit the job?'” (29:05). “If I give you something good to do and you do it well, I'll give you something else” (33:15). “Whatever job someone gives you, do it the best you can” (33:40). “Falling in love with the process not falling in love with the results, that's competitive stamina” (43:40). “Most of the time the player is just interested in making themselves better. The leader is interested in making everybody better” (45:45). “This is what all great leaders do: they figure out what they need to do to win the game” (56:00). “Learn from everything that you touch and apply it back to what you love” (59:00). “If you don't look outside your area of expertise to other areas, you become stagnant and you lack curiosity” (59:30). “The one thing I've learned in my 63 years of life is curiosity is the greatest tool to have. If you have curiosity in your tool belt, you'll be successful” (1:00:00). “I love being a writer… I love being able to mentor people” (1:06:15). “The jungle's not dangerous if you know the trails” (1:09:10). “I think we can learn a lot more when people destroy something than when they build it” (1:13:00). “If Steve Jobs needs a coach, everybody needs a coach” (1:15:00).   Additionally, please check out The Daily Coach and follow Michael @MLombardiNFL on Instagram and Twitter.

With the help of Five-Star legends like George Raveling, Larry Brown, Rick Pitino, Bobby Cremins, Tom Konchalski, and never-before-heard conversations with Garfinkel himself, we'll hear how the foundation of Garf's iconic camp was built.
