“We all signed up for the criticism, and will to take a bullet for our team, that's our job.” Bryce Young Fresh off a breakout playoff run with the Carolina Panthers, former No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young sits down with Ryan, Channing and Fred for a deeply personal and one of his most reflective conversations yet. Bryce opens up about the pressure of being selected first overall in the NFL Draft, the early adversity he faced adjusting to the speed and complexity of the NFL as a business, and how criticism fueled his growth rather than defined him. From learning how to command a locker room to embracing failure as part of development, Bryce shares the pivotal moments that shaped his evolution from highly touted prospect to playoff quarterback. From a long drive Bryce never envisioned making to the lessons the rough roads taught him, the guys talk about the complexity of Dave Canales' play calling, Bryce's unique bond with Xavier Legette, support from Cam Newton and how the Panther faithful can be hard to navigate but worth the privilege of being the team leader. He also discusses the mental side of the game — staying grounded amid expectations, blocking out outside noise, and building resilience during tough stretches. The conversation dives into leadership, faith, preparation habits, and what it truly means to “earn it” at the highest level. Sharing a close bond with CJ Stroud, Bryce talks about CJ's strength and talent will put him back on track ignoring the noise of this past season. Honest, thoughtful, and poised beyond his years, Bryce reflects on what the playoff run taught him about trust, accountability, and belief — not just in football, but in himself.

Nick Saban as college football's commissioner? Brian Smith lays out a bold vision for saving the sport, arguing only a leader of Saban's reputation can restore order amid NIL, transfer portal chaos, and rampant tampering. Drawing parallels to the NFL's disciplined approach, the show proposes automatic penalties—scholarship losses, hefty fines, and strict transfer rules—to end the current “wild west” era. Key topics include enforceable rules for NIL collectives, revenue sharing discrepancies (with examples like LSU's big signing class and Nike's NIL-sponsored programs), and playoff expansion rumors swirling between the SEC and Big Ten. Brian Smith explores potential leadership dream teams, including Urban Meyer, Don Staley, and even NFL executives, insisting that political interference only breeds bias. Is college football ready for real accountability—or will the chaos continue? Don't miss this provocative take on the future of the sport.

Are the Pistons good enough to win the East?

With the NBA back, the conversation turns into a “what counts as success?” checklist for every team in town, and the answers get blunt fast. For the Knicks, it's simple: anything short of the NBA Finals is a massive disappointment, and the window is not staying open forever. For the Yankees, the standard is even harsher: win the World Series, period, no matter who's on the other side. The Mets are trickier, with the floor rising from “make the playoffs” to “get to the Division Series,” because the quick exit versions of October do not count as progress anymore. Then the focus shifts to football, and the Giants get put under the microscope. With the offseason still unfolding, the expectations are more complicated, but the baseline is clear: competence, a winning season, and being in the mix late. The division suddenly feels more open than it did a year ago, which raises the pressure even more. And looming in the background is the Jets wild card, because one aggressive move at quarterback could instantly change the entire expectation game. A full-state-of-the-union debate on New York sports standards, pressure points, and what “successful” really means for 2026.

Thank you for listening to Episode 225 of The Pitchy Podcast.

On todays episode, Patrick and Hayden take a look at the Champions League Knockout play-offs. We start in Lisbon, where Benfica kept Real Madrid at arm's length for long stretches before one moment of elite quality decided it. It was low event, tightly controlled, and it raises the same balance questions that still sit over Madrid. Then it's Galatasaray pulling Juventus apart. Weston McKennie leads the line for Juve, while Victor Osimhen does what he always does — finding shots from nowhere and turning messy phases into goals. From there, we head to Norway, where Bodø/Glimt beat Inter Milan by doing far more than riding a big moment. The pressing was coordinated, the blindside runs were constant, and Inter never really found control. This was structural, not random. We also look at Paris Saint-Germain overwhelming AS Monaco, creating chances at an absurd rate, and whether Atlético Madrid are actually controlling games or just surviving stretches against Club Brugge.

La mesa de Ahora o Nunca reacciona a la victoria del Real Madrid sobre el Benfica en la ida del Playoffs de la Champions, pero también a la polémica generada durante el juego por la acusación que hizo la estrella del club Merengue, Vinicius Jr., por el presunto insulto racial que le dirigió Gianluca Prestianni, futbolista del club portugués, al señalar que se le debe creer al brasileño, quien ha sido objeto de varios insultos por su color de piel, aunque será casi imposible probar que el argentino le dijera algo. Por otro lado, la mesa también discute, luego de los recientes tropiezos del Barcelona y el paso regular del Real Madrid, cuál de los dos clubes está más cerca del "Nadaplete".

On this episode of CrimsonCast Perspectives, GC tests out some new lighting in the studio while talking about why the Big Ten's recently leaked 24 team playoff proposal makes a lot more sense than people are giving it credit. Too much emphasis is being placed on a regular season that no longer tells us very much about who the best teams in the country are --- and we're not changing that anytime soon. It's time to stop fighting playoff expansion and embrace it instead.Leave your comments below with thoughts and opinions about a 24 team playoff in college football

Brian Cashman set off a firestorm after a stunning press conference blunder, appearing to misremember how the Yankees' season actually ended. Did the GM really think they reached the ALCS, or was it just a harmless slip of the tongue? Evan and Tiki debate whether this mistake exposes a deeper problem inside the organization: complacency, revisionist history, and a lack of urgency despite falling short of championship expectations. Plus, the guys loop in Chris “Big Mac” McMonagle for a rapid-fire verdict, compare the controversy to similar front-office comments across sports, and open the phones to frustrated fans weighing in on accountability, leadership, and what this says about the Yankees' direction heading into the new season. Is this outrage justified or classic overreaction in the Bronx?
