NOTICE: This weekly show is now part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.com, MidwestSportsPlus.com, and most podcast platforms like the one you find here! So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out! So far in this young football season, the Jackrabbits, Coyotes, and Vikings offenses — to varying degrees — continue to struggle to explode for big plays and satisfying full-game performances. At times, they implode. In the Yotes and Vikings cases, for full games.Gee, if only there was a local team to watch right now, in-person!, that has provided fireworks all season long, including a so-far spectacular postseason. Oh, wait, there is, and you don't even have to drive one to four hours to see them.The Sioux Falls Canaries — highest-scoring, most home run-hitting in their league by far — are three wins away from their first American Association championship in 17 years and only their second league title in the 33-year modern inception of the club. So far, they've averaged 10 runs in their five playoff wins, including victories of 7-2 and 11-2 in their two series-clinching win-or-go-home games, propelled by the Birds' best-ever player and league's all-time career home run king Jabari Henry's five total dingers in those two deciding games (three blasts to eliminate league leader Sioux City in the first round on the road, then a pair of homers including a grand slam and 8 RBI in The Birdcage to knock out Fargo-Moorhead). So, before Happy Hour host John Gaskins and Sioux Falls Live sports editor Matt Zimmer break down the bummer offenses — to varying degrees! — of this region's three most popular football teams, they celebrate the culmination of what has been a 15-year climb up a Mt. Everest of rocky obstacles for the Canaries — once the league's worst and near-lowest-budget squad — just to return to the league finals.Then, it's pick-apart time for 3-0 SDSU, 1-2 USD, and the 1-1 Vikings, their offenses, and their quarterbacks Chase Mason, Aidan Bouman, and J.J. McCarthy. How much of the team's struggles have been the field generals' faults, and where do we see things headed?Is it unfair for Jacks fans to be unsettled if not complaining about "only" 37 points and "only" a 16-point win over a non-scholarship team? Is it five-alarm fire time for USD after narrowly escaping Northern Colorado and an 0-3 start?What do we make of both the seven quarters of bumbling of young J.J. McCarthy (save from the amazing fourth quarter in Chicago, which counts for a lot) and the ankle injury that has sidelined him against Cincinnati, which gives journeyman and NDSU legend Carson Wentz his latest and maybe last-ever shot to return to his once-Pro Bowl form?John and Matt answer these questions, then toast the Sanford International and its latest winner Retief Goosen. Finally, rumination on why the once-massive Sunday crowds have fizzled a bit in the eight-year-old event that shares crown jewel status in Sioux Falls with the Summit League Tournament.
Super Bowl champion and 3x Pro Bowler TJ Ward sits down with Jimmy to revisit Denver's epic Super Bowl 50 run, life in the league with the Browns and Broncos, and the leadership that defined one of the 2010s' most feared defenses. TJ opens up about playing a title game in his Bay Area backyard, the “clutch” side of Peyton Manning that fans forget, and why DeMarcus Ware was the OG leader of that locker room. He also dives into scheme fit, memorable matchups (Gronk, Antonio Gates, Jamal Charles), and the very real grind of injuries and concussions.College fans will love TJ's Oregon stories—Autzen's energy, the Nike effect, Chip Kelly's era, and honest thoughts on NIL, the transfer portal, and the breakup of the Pac-12.

On Off The Bench and The Stone Shields Show today we discuss the Reds crushing loss to the Pirates last night, Paul Skenes vs. Hunter Greene tonight, the latest Bengals news and more! Off The Bench is back weekdays from 10a to 11a followed by The Stone Shields Show from 11a to noon! In a gut-wrenching setback for Cincinnati's playoff dreams, the Reds fell 4-2 to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night at Great American Ball Park, snapping their five-game winning streak and dropping them a full game behind the New York Mets for the NL's final wild-card spot. The loss couldn't have come at a worse time, with only a handful of games left in the regular season and the Reds clinging to faint postseason hopes. The game unraveled early for Reds starter Brady Singer, who imploded in the second inning, surrendering four runs on five hits—including a two-run homer from Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz—that chased him after just 1.1 innings. Singer's command faltered, ballooning his season ERA to 3.95 and leaving Cincinnati in an early hole. Pittsburgh's Johan Oviedo, making his eighth start, steadied the ship for the visitors, allowing just two runs over five innings despite a shaky Reds lineup. Cincinnati clawed back briefly when sparkplug shortstop Elly De La Cruz crushed a 415-foot two-run homer in the bottom of the second, his second blast in as many games after ending a 43-game drought. But the Reds' offense sputtered thereafter, stranding runners in key spots, including a bases-loaded threat in the sixth snuffed out by rookie reliever Hunter Barco's debut gem. The bullpen held firm, but it wasn't enough against a Pirates squad playing spoiler. Tonight's game (6:40 p.m. ET) pits two of baseball's brightest young arms in a must-win for Cincinnati: Reds ace Hunter Greene (7-4, 2.74 ERA) versus Pirates phenom Paul Skenes (10-10, 2.03 ERA). Greene, the flamethrowing righty, has been lights-out lately, fanning 10+ in four of his last five starts, but faces a tall order against Skenes—the 2024 NL Rookie of the Year and Cy Young frontrunner—who's chasing a sub-2.00 ERA in his final outing. Expect triple-digit heat, high drama, and a low-scoring affair that could swing the wild-card fate. Amid the baseball buzz, Cincinnati sports mourns the tragic loss of Bengals legend Rudi Johnson, who died by suicide at 45 on Tuesday, per police reports. The fourth-round pick (2001) became a Pro Bowl powerhouse, holding the franchise single-season rushing record (1,458 yards in 2005) and ranking fourth all-time with 5,742 yards. Teammates like Carson Palmer hailed his "joyful presence," while Chad Johnson tweeted a heartfelt tribute. Bengals president Mike Brown called him a "dear friend" and "excellent running back." Johnson's foundation aided local causes, leaving a legacy beyond the field. RIP, Rudy—your spirit endures. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

“I still haven't got over that Super Bowl, I have yet to watch that game through because it's that painful and I was that close to getting my ring. I hate the Super Bowl. I hate February.” Charles "Peanut" Tillman On this episode of The Pivot Podcast, former NFL star Charles "Peanut" Tillman joins Ryan, Channing, and Fred for an unforgettable conversation that goes far beyond the football field. Known for his legendary "Peanut Punch" and Pro Bowl career with the Chicago Bears, Tillman opens up about the highs and lows of life in the NFL, the mental grind of competition, and what truly defined his time on the gridiron. He shares how it's still difficult to think about coming up short in two Super Bowls and how it pains him to this day to watch football in February. He takes the guys through his infamous career, some of his legendary plays and how he was the only player close to reaching a historic NFL milestone, of the 40/40 club with 44 forced fumbles and two picks short of 40 interceptions. But his story didn't end with football. In a tremendous pivot of honor, Peanut talks about his decision to join the FBI after NFL retirement—a rare and inspiring path for a professional athlete. He shares what drove him to serve in a completely different arena, the challenges of the transition, and how discipline and purpose continue to shape his life. Growing up with his father in the military, he always had a passion to serve the country and joining the bureau was his way to make an impact. But recent changes and demands in protecting the homeland led Peanut to abruptly leave the FBI after eight years of service, which he opens up on and shares why for the first time. Peanut also reflects on the most important role he's ever played: being a father. He gets deeply personal about his family, including the emotional journey with his daughter's health, and how that experience changed his entire perspective on life, love, and prayer. Fred deems his storytelling as his favorite share in our Pivot history. The guys wrap up talking ball, sharing career moments and reminisce he plays we never live down! This is an episode about resilience, reinvention, and real priorities. Don't miss this raw and heartfelt sit-down with a true game-changer—on and off the field.

Send us a textIn a stunning Sunday Night Football showcase, the Atlanta Falcons transformed their identity before our eyes, evolving from "Ratlanta" to "Sacklanta" with a defensive masterclass against the Minnesota Vikings. This episode dives deep into how the Falcons' defense completely dominated rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy, registering five sacks and allowing just six points in a hostile environment.The transformation was nothing short of remarkable. After a disappointing Week 1 loss to Tampa Bay, Atlanta's defense flew around the field, pressuring McCarthy constantly and neutralizing star receiver Justin Jefferson. Devon Diablo looked like a potential Pro Bowl linebacker, while Leonard Floyd, Billy Bowman, and James Pierce Jr. all made significant contributions across all three levels of defense.Offensively, the Falcons pounded the rock relentlessly, amassing 218 yards on 39 carries behind an offensive line that completely redeemed itself after last week's struggles. Though Michael Penix Jr.'s passing numbers were modest (13-of-21 for 135 yards), the ground-and-pound approach perfectly complemented the defensive dominance.We also explore how this performance stacks up historically for the franchise, the continuing tendency of national media to overlook Atlanta's success, and what this new "Sacklanta" identity might mean for their prospects moving forward. Plus, we break down key matchups from around the NFL in Week 2, discuss college football highlights, and share some entertaining Vegas fight night experiences.Whether you're a die-hard Falcons fan or just appreciate elite defensive football, this episode captures the excitement of watching a team discover its true potential in real-time.

The Sports Experience Podcast with Chris Quinn and Dominic DiTolla
Episode 312 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we're back on the gridiron discussing Randy Moss.A star athlete in high school in basketball, track and field, baseball and football, Moss appeared destined for football glory at Notre Dame before a fight in high school in which he was protecting his friend led to the school revoking his scholarship.Moss proceeded to violate his probation after arriving at Florida State, and all appeared lost until he transferred to Marshall and displayed his freakish athletic ability.Moss helped his team win the 1996 I-AA National Title and finished fourth in the Heisman race in 1997.Many teams passed on Moss in the 1998 NFL Draft due to his run-ins with the law, but he found a perfect home in Minnesota where he established himself right away as one of the league's most dominant receivers.He made five Pro Bowls in his first six seasons with the Vikings, and it appeared he would become a mainstay in Minnesota.Sadly, a trade to Oakland almost ruined his career after two seasons until he was traded to the New England Patriots.In 2007, Moss set an NFL record for touchdown receptions in a season with 23 as the Patriots almost achieved a perfect 19-0 season.Moss remained a productive pass catcher for the next two seasons until a trade to Minnesota in 2010 ended with him finishing the season with the Tennessee Titans and coming back in 2012 with the San Francisco 49ers.Though he never won a Super Bowl, Moss finished his incredible career with over 15,000 yards receiving and 156 touchdown catches.Arguably the best and most athletic receiver in league history, Moss' size, speed and catch radius made him an absolute legend and a HOF honoree in 2018.Watch, Subscribe & Comment on All Platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/the-sports-experience-podcast-with-chris-quinn/id1529622054Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1esgBLz04MZYrTgYMk5DvaConnect with us on Instagram!Chris Quinn: https://www.instagram.com/cquinncomedy/Dominic DiTolla: https://www.instagram.com/ditolladominic/Ty Engle:https://www.instagram.com/ty_englestudio/S.E.P.: https://www.instagram.com/thesportsexperiencepodcast/If you enjoy our podcast, please help support us:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-experience-pod/support#sportspodcast#comedypodcast#randymoss#nfl#minnesotavikings#newenglandpatriots

What are your thoughts for Week 2? full 937 Thu, 11 Sep 2025 18:04:29 +0000 kN00PI2jxv0hQCR8ijmzgV4ltycYKjdi sports One Bills Live sports What are your thoughts for Week 2? For over three decades, Bills legend Steve Tasker has been a staple in the Western New York community. A standout on special teams for the Bills during his 12 seasons with the team, Tasker made a name for himself around the league. Not only did his outstanding achievements on the field earn him numerous accolades, his commitment to the region solidified his place in the hearts of Bills fans everywhere. Tasker, who remained close to the game through his broadcast work for CBS, will get back to his roots with Buffalo when he joins the Voice of the Bills John Murphy as co-host of “One Bills Live,” presented by Kaleida Health. Like its predecessor, “The John Murphy Show,” “One Bills Live” will give fans a daily dose of the latest Bills news. The only show live from the home of the Bills – One Bills Drive – fans can follow along with Tasker and Murphy, as well as special guests, as they tackle all the hottest topics happening around the NFL. The show will remain at its current time from noon to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and will be available on WGR Sports Radio 550, MSG Networks and the MSG Go app.Murphy, who over the years has developed a close relationship with Tasker, believes the Bills icon is the perfect addition to the show. “I've known Steve since he came here in 1986,” said Murphy. “Shortly after that, he started doing television shows. When I was at Channel 7, he hosted “The Steve Tasker Show” and I was the co-host…I've known him for 30-plus years. One of the many good things about Steve doing the show, is he's a broadcaster. He's been at CBS for 21 years at the highest level of football broadcasting.“He comes in with all that experience – all his football experience, playing at a very high level for several years and making Pro Bowls. Adding in his broadcast background, which is pretty impressive, I think it will make him a great addition to the show.” While Tasker's impressive resume undoubtedly gives him a unique perspective to share with viewers, Murphy believes that its Tasker's time spent in Buffalo that makes him truly special and able to connect with his audience.“Steve always impressed me," said Murphy. “Not that players aren't tuned into the reality, but Steve has always been tuned into real life. He knows what it's like not to be in the NFL. He lives his life like a person who is not a former professional athlete in many ways. He's easy to relate to. I think fans already know that. Fans are familiar with him from all the TV work he's done. He brings an everyman aspect to the show and he's committed to this area. I think people tap into that.” For Tasker, this next chapter in his career is one that he's ready to embrace fully. “The Buffalo Bills have been a tremendous part of my life and I am very eager to begin this opportunity,” said Tasker. “This is an exciting time in franchise history and I am thrilled to get involved on a daily basis. I look forward to working with Murph to connect with Bills fans who have been so supportive of me for a long time.” 2024 © 2021 Audacy, Inc.

He knows what it's like not to be in the NFL. He lives his life like a person who is not a former professional athlete in many ways. He's easy to relate to. I think fans already know that. Fans are familiar with him from all the TV work he's done. He brings an everyman aspect to the show and he's committed to this area. I think people tap into that.” For Tasker, this next chapter in his career is one that he's ready to embrace fully. “The Buffalo Bills have been a tremendous part of my life and I am very eager to begin this opportunity,” said Tasker. “This is an exciting time in franchise history and I am thrilled to get involved on a daily basis.

Episode 82 of The Mental Game brings back former All-Pro NFL cornerback Jerry Azumah, his second appearance on The Mental Game.If you missed Part I with Azumah, click here to listen now.Azumah played seven seasons for the Chicago Bears, earning a Pro Bowl and All-Pro selection in 2003. His NFL career came on the heels of a super successful four years at the University of New Hampshire. Under then-head coach Chip Kelly, Azumah starred as a running back, winning the Walter Payton Award as the top offensive player in all of Division I-AA.Given his college success, Azumah was blindsided when he found out the Chicago Bears intended to draft him as a defensive back. When they did just that in the fifth round of the 1999 NFL Draft, Azumah was forced to adjust — to learn his sport from the opposite point of view: as a defender.Azumah figured it out for nearly a decade in the NFL. Now, he focuses on his family, his philanthropic work, and on his burgeoning media career. I've had the delight of producing and co-hosting his podcast, “To The Points with Jerry Azumah.” On The Mental Game, Azumah…Describes how it felt to “feel it click” in the NFL.Explains why his most important mental battle as a player was staying 100% focused.How he balances his emotions and keeps a short memory.And much, much more…The Mental Game podcast is produced by Sam Brief and music is courtesy of David Brief and Channel J.

The defending Super Bowl champs beat America's Team to open the NFL season, a multi-time Pro Bowl receiver retires, the top seed is back in the women's final at the U.S. Open and a Yankees pitcher matches the MLB lead for wins. Correspondent Gethin Coolbaugh reports.
Farace and Tim are back for Season 8, and somehow they're still convincing themselves this is the year the Giants escape the Groundhog Day loop of misery. The offseason brought in Russell Wilson as the veteran “steady hand” at quarterback, but rookie Jaxson Dart is already looming as QB2 and looking like the guy who might get the call when things inevitably spiral. Malik Nabers, fresh off a monster Pro Bowl rookie year, headlines an offense that actually has some playmakers this time, with Cam Skattebo and Greg Dulcich adding depth, while the line prays Andrew Thomas can stay upright and John Michael Schmitz remembers how to snap the ball. On the other side, Dexter Lawrence anchors a beefed-up defense with rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter and new faces like Roy Robertson-Harris and Jevon Holland trying to turn “bend and break” into something slightly less embarrassing.But here's the rub—this team has the NFL's toughest schedule. Ten playoff teams, early back-to-back road trips in the NFC East, and a murderers' row of quarterbacks waiting to feast. Farace and Tim will run through the schedule game by game, trying to figure out if this team can claw past the “best 4-win team ever” label or if they're destined for another season of creative heartbreak. Expect plenty of sarcastic optimism, painful reality checks, and the kind of Big Blue banter only two diehards who should know better can deliver. #Giants #WeStompedYouOut #PopCulturePros
Send us a textThe New York Giants open the 2025 NFL season on the road against the Washington Commanders, and this one comes with plenty of intrigue. Washington retooled their roster in a big way this offseason, trading for Pro Bowl tackle Laremy Tunsil and wide receiver Deebo Samuel while adding veteran defenders like Von Miller, Javon Kinlaw, Jonathan Jones, and Will Harris. They also bolstered their secondary with Marshon Lattimore late last year, giving them one of the more aggressive roster makeovers in the NFL.Giants fans — what's the biggest key to victory in Week 1: containing Jayden Daniels, shutting down Terry McLaurin, or controlling the trenches? Drop your take in the comments and subscribe to join the Goofball Army for every Giants breakdown this season.Washington did lose some important pieces including Jonathan Allen, Dante Fowler Jr., Dyami Brown, Benjamin St-Juste, and Brian Robinson Jr., who ran for 132 yards against the Giants in 2024. Even with those departures, this Commanders offense remains dangerous after averaging 28.5 points per game last year. Jayden Daniels has proven to be one of the league's most electric young quarterbacks, but at just 210 pounds, he remains vulnerable to pressure.The Giants will lean on Russell Wilson to set the tone at quarterback, with rookie Jaxson Dart waiting in the wings. On defense, rookies like Abdul Carter could play major roles right away alongside stars like Dexter Lawrence and Brian Burns. Position battles at CB2 with Deonte Banks vs Cor'Dale Flott and at right guard with Greg Van Roten vs Evan Neal will be worth watching. Paulson Adebo will be tasked with slowing down Terry McLaurin, while Jevon Holland gets his first major assignment against veteran tight end Zach Ertz, who bounced back last season with 654 yards and seven touchdowns.The keys to victory for New York are clear. Get after Jayden Daniels early and often, taking advantage of his smaller frame. Keep him contained and force Washington to beat them through the air. And make sure the defense creates turnovers and momentum to give the offense short fields. If the Giants execute this game plan, they could shock the division and start the season 1-0 with a statement win.Stick around for live chat, fan reactions, and the unfiltered breakdown only the Goofball Army can bring.Thank you for watching & for your support.

La' Roi Glover joins me on this episode. La 'Roi played 13 NFL seasons from 1996-2008, combined for 320 tackles, 83.5 sacks, 8 forced fumbles, and two interceptions ... Named to six consecutive Pro Bowls (2000-05). We discuss his life and career, from growing up in the San Diego area and making his way to the league
Bun B makes it official as co-host of Unglossy, and we kick things off with a legend: Buffalo Bills icon and Pro Football Hall of Famer, Andre Reed. From a small-town kid in Allentown, Pennsylvania to four straight Super Bowl appearances and a gold jacket in Canton, Reed's story is one of grit, growth, and giving back.In this first part of our two-part conversation, Andre takes us through the real playbook behind his success—relationships, mentorship, and showing up when nobody's watching. He reflects on the wisdom of his Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy (who just turned 100), weighs in on Micah Parsons' contract standoff and the high-stakes “game within the game” of NFL negotiations, and breaks down how rule changes like the kickoff shift and the tush push have reshaped football forever.We dive into what it was like lining up against Deion Sanders, Rod Woodson, and Darrell Green, the brutal six-week training camps of the '80s, and the difference between recovering from injuries then versus now. Beyond the field, Andre shares the roots of his purpose—his years as a Boys & Girls Club kid, the founding of the Andre Reed Foundation, and the legacy he's building with a park, a street, and a stadium all carrying his name back home.Four straight Super Bowls, seven Pro Bowls, and zero regrets—because whether or not the scoreboard went his way, the world was watching.

In this clip from the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey to ponder best-case scenarios for the Steelers in 2025 and what needs to go right to attain them. Do T.J. Watt, Alex Smith, Nick Herbig and the pass rush need to be better than they were in 2024? And how much will a reloaded offensive line with Derrick Harmon and Yahya Black next to Cam Heyward and Keeanu Benton help in that pursuit? Can the entire quarterback room be good enough for OC Arthur Smith? From Aaron Rodgers, who's facing questions about how quickly he can find his stride, to Mason Rudolph in a backup role. And can coach Mike Tomlin get where he wants to go if Broderick Jones, and potentially also Troy Fautanu, aren't playing at close to a Pro Bowl level in protecting a largely immobile Rodgers behind center? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

“Jalen is still Jalen. I'm still that one. I'm still the one they were looking up to, I'm still the one they will be taking parts of their game from trying to copy mine, I'm still that.” Jalen Ramsey responds to the doubters As our Training Camp tour continues, we visiting Jalen in his new NFL home, and sit down with the three-time All‑Pro cornerback as he embarks on a bold new journey with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After cementing his legacy with a Super Bowl win and with Pro Bowl honors in Jacksonville, Los Angeles, and Miami-Jalen brings his unmatched skill set and swagger to one of the NFL's most storied franchises. We explore the motivations behind the blockbuster June 30, 2025 trade, what it means to don the iconic black and gold, and how Pittsburgh's aggressive 2025 Super Bowl push aligns with his championship aspirations Jalen reflects on his football evolution—how his position versatility (cornerback, potential safety) and league-wide respect make him more than just "another star" on the roster, but a cornerstone of a retooled defense aiming to recapture past glory. As he joins a defense stacked with names like T.J. Watt, Darius Slay Jr., Joey Porter Jr, and a team led by veteran QB Aaron Rodgers, Jalen makes one thing clear: he's still that guy. And now, he's exactly where he's supposed to be. We break down how he'll complement fellow veterans and what his arrival signals about Pittsburgh's shift toward a win-now mentality during Aaron Rodgers' anticipated final NFL season. This isn't just about football—it's about fit. Jalen talks about how his mentality now mirrors the city itself: blue-collar, unapologetic, and built on pride, toughness, and resilience. He shares how the Steel City has reignited his fire—how he's leaned into being a mentor and a menace, all while preparing to help this storied franchise chase another Lombardi. Join us for a raw, unfiltered look at an athlete who's still got it—not just on the field, but in his leadership, swagger, and hunger to win.
