The 2025 football season was a setback for Colorado head coach Deion Sanders. Jason explains that the “Louis experience” is failing and many are bailing on Deion. The loss of defensive coordinator Robert Livingston is the most recent setback. Steve Kim returns to discuss Deion losing key players and coaches; NBC apparently diminishing Tony Dungy's role on "Sunday Night Football"; and Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken on Deshaun Watson. Jay Skapinac joins Jason and Steve to discuss the mismatch between Luka Doncic and LeBron James, as well as the NBA MVP vote on the verge of losing two more front-runners because of the league's minimal game rule.

Highlights: The Cavaliers' loss to a shorthanded OKC team is seen as a mid-season warning about the team's focus and potential matchup issues rather than a cause for major alarm. The Allen-Mobley frontcourt combination continues to raise questions about its effectiveness, particularly against quick, physical teams, suggesting their minutes may need to be staggered. A discussion on Evan Mobley's role suggests he should focus on defense rather than being a primary creator, with a potential trade being considered if the team falters in the playoffs. Host Terry Pluto has reversed his initial opposition to the James Harden trade after learning the severity of Darius Garland's lingering injury, now valuing Harden's durability. Recent acquisitions are expected to provide the Cavaliers with a needed injection of toughness and defensive intensity. Speculation about another LeBron James return to Cleveland is dismissed as premature and unlikely, especially given the James Harden trade and James's current career stage. The Browns plan a "targeted aggression" strategy in free agency, prioritizing veteran additions to their depleted offensive line. It is suggested the Browns should use at least two of their top 70 draft picks to rebuild the offensive line, with a specific focus on drafting a long-term center. Why new Browns Defensive Coordinator Mike Rutenberg's success will depend on his ability to earn the respect of and effectively manage veteran stars like Myles Garrett and Denzel Ward. The signing of slugger Reese Hoskins is seen as a "vintage Guardians" move, addressing a major need for right-handed power on a value deal. Steven Kwan's elite instincts may help him succeed in the more demanding position in center. It is argued that Major League Baseball, not the Guardians, should bear the financial responsibility for Emmanuel Clase's salary while his legal situation is managed by the league. Terry's statistical review of prospects suggests Chase DeLauter is more prepared for a major league opportunity than Travis Bazzana, emphasizing performance over draft position. José Ramírez's clubhouse leadership is highlighted through an anecdote where he publicly boosted a teammate's confidence, reinforcing his role as the team's heart. The podcast ends with a nostalgic discussion on classic sports board games, highlighting how they cultivated imagination and a connection to sports in a pre-digital era.

Welcome to Tablesetters University, the college baseball edition of Tablesetters: A Baseball Podcast — where early-season performance is evaluated through context, projection, and structural analysis, not surface-level box scores. Two weeks into the season, real indicators are beginning to separate from February noise. We open with the national shortstop discussion centered on Roch Cholowsky at UCLA and Justin Lebron at Alabama. Both are producing at a high level from the game's most demanding defensive position, but their offensive constructions differ. Cholowsky's profile is tied to impact power within the No. 1 team in the country — early damage, run production, lineup leverage. Lebron's profile leans into plate discipline, on-base consistency, and diversified extra-base contact within SEC competition. The debate isn't about who's hotter through two weeks. It's about which offensive architecture scales as pitching quality improves and scouting reports tighten. From there, we transition to pitching development and draft trajectory. Chris Levonas touching triple digits at Wake Forest isn't just a velocity headline — it's a signal. Strike-throwing power arms in the ACC shift conference ceilings. When velocity pairs with command, it changes postseason viability and draft stock simultaneously. We examine what that means for Wake's national profile, not just radar gun readings. We also break down Miami's offensive surge and the structural impact of a freshman immediately altering lineup geometry. When a first-year player changes pitch sequencing and protection dynamics in the order, that's not a short-term spark — it's a potential trajectory shift. We evaluate what that does to Miami's long-term competitiveness rather than reacting to a single explosive weekend. The episode then expands into broader team identity and sustainability questions: What does Tennessee's first significant setback under Josh Elander reveal about leadership transition and program continuity? Is Coastal Carolina's ranking adjustment an overcorrection, or a reflection of rotation turnover and early volatility? And does Oklahoma currently possess the most complete statistical profile in the country — one that holds up beyond early schedule dynamics? This isn't a reactionary episode. It's an evaluative one. We're discussing projection curves, roster construction, pitching depth, offensive sustainability, and competitive identity as February data begins transitioning into meaningful national signal. College baseball is sorting itself quickly. The contenders are starting to show structural traits — not just box score noise.
