On today's show, after looking at the AP Top 25 Wk 4 poll specifically the odds of the biggest risers and fallers from the week we'll breakdown the third week of Thursday Night Football between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins.
It's Rivalry Week! Should the Civil War continue? Daily Buzz: Mariners and the Big Dumper are rolling; Seahawks win in Pittsburgh. Tape Don't Lie: Eagles, Falcons, Dolphins, Mike Judge, Rocky Road. One For the Road: a Monday Night Football doubleheader!
Kevin Byrne, Boxing writer with the Irish Sun & host of ‘The Rocky Road' podcast and Michael Carruth, Olympic Welterweight Boxing Champion
Well now, who saw that coming? Lewis Crocker beat Paddy Donovan for the second time in 2025 to claim the IBF world welterweight title in Belfast on Saturday night. The first fight in March came his way after The Real Deal was disqualified. The Croc – who was written off by everyone coming into the rematch – scored two knockdowns this time around at Windsor Park, yet there were still howls of controversy when his name was read out as the winner by split decision at the end of their 20th round together in six months. The Rocky Road headed for Belfast for the Irish boxing night of the year, with Kevin Byrne joined by fellow fight writers David Mohan, Joe O'Neill, Gavan Casey and Peter Carroll to digest it all. What's next for Crocker? What's next for Donovan? And why does everyone keep mentioning Conor Benn? It's all here Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In order to protect him, Nina decides to leave for Galgada to fulfill her duty and become their queen. In episode five, Nina arrives in Bastia and tries to win over the cruel Prince Set. Things escalate as Nina defends Anne, who works for Prince Set, for “stealing” when an aggressive guard captain accuses her, and Prince Set slices Nina across the chest.

In episode six, Nina wins over the staff in Bastia by putting the aggressive guard captain in his place while Prince Set is absent.

In Part Two of our fascinating conversation with Brian McKeown, the focus shifts to his incredible legacy in Cavan. After a challenging early life and a tumultuous return home, Brian details how he established the now-legendary Cavan Boxing Club. He recounts the journey of developing champions like John Joe Nevin, Ceire Smith and Andrew Murray, a path that incredibly led one of his fighters all the way to an Olympic boxing final. Beyond the titles, Brian shares his profound love for boxing as a tool for transformation – giving confidence and setting up better lives for every person who walks through his door. We delve into his deeply inclusive philosophy, his lifetime in Sinn Fein politics, and the recent volunteer award that highlights his unwavering commitment to community. Brian also speaks openly and honestly about his battles with cancer, demonstrating the same resilience he instilled in his fighters. Light-hearted and funny, yet profoundly resonant, this is a truly inspiring story of dedication, impact, and an enduring spirit on The Rocky Road. Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textThe Pelicans' 2024-25 schedule has arrived, and hosts Raphael and Garrick Rattler dig into what might be the NBA's toughest slate of games this season. With brutal honesty and sharp analysis, they break down how New Orleans cleverly embraced their challenging circumstances by while signaling their determination to control their own destiny.The conversation centers on the murderer's row of opponents the Pelicans face in their first ten games, including matchups against Memphis, Wembanyama's Spurs, the champion Celtics, Denver, the Clippers, and OKC. Only two nationally televised games all season reflects how the NBA views the Pelicans' relevance, but this could serve as powerful motivation for a roster featuring Zion Williamson, Herb Jones, Trey Murphy, and newcomers Jordan Poole and Sadiq Bey. The brothers highlight key schedule stretches, including emotional homecomings when Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum return to New Orleans in March.The discussion underscores a critical message for the Pelicans' success: start strong and establish position early rather than relying on late-season heroics. With 15 back-to-backs and constant questions about Zion's availability, this team's playoff hopes hinge on consistent health and performance from the opening tip. Make sure you're locked in with us.

What does it really take to scale toward $100 million while staying aligned with your values, vision, and calling? In this candid episode of The Kelly Roach Show, Kelly pulls back the curtain on the real journey to her $100M goal: the messy pivots, crushed dreams, and the moments of divine direction that shaped her path forward. You'll hear how she went from running six companies at once with no clear “one thing” to identifying thecornerstone of her next era of growth. She shares why she walked away from the idea of scaling her high-ticket coaching model to $100M, faith-led decision-making and why she's embracing a decade-long vision instead of chasing big, immediate results. If you've ever wrestled with long-term strategy, business model decisions, or trusting the process in uncertain times, this episode is for you.

Today's episode is a special one, a powerful reminder that the Rocky Road of boxing isn't just about what happens inside the ropes, but the profound human connections forged outside them. We travelled to Drogheda to meet an extraordinary group of guests: a team of Palestinian boxers, mainly from the El Barrio club in Ramallah, who have just completed a poignant and inspiring tour of Ireland, from Waterford to Dublin and Belfast.I was privileged to sit down with their coach, Nader Jayousi, and an incredible group of boxers: Nada Al-Khawaja, Nidal Foqahaa, Zaid Shkukani, Tamer Touriman, and Shamali Adamov. We also speak with Wasem Abusal, Palestine's first Olympic boxer. We were also joined by former Irish boxer and now county councillor Eric Donovan, who welcomed them to Louth.This historic tour, organised by Shamrock & Olive Tree Boxing, is a testament to the power of sport to strengthen bonds between nations and offer hope in the face of conflict. The proceeds from their recent boxing events will go directly to two vital causes: The Lajee Center Boxing Club in the Aida Refugee Camp and the Beit Lahia Development Association, a grassroots organisation providing humanitarian support in Gaza.This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who believes in the unifying power of boxing and its ability to help heal the pain of a people.

He sees her pain and anger and gives a voice to it, and the two bond and become close quickly. Their love story unfolds on screen, ultimately bringing Tohru Honda into the world, but it ends abruptly with Katsuya's unexpected death, and the impact it has on Kyoko and Tohru is immeasurable.

Michael Conlan's on The Rocky Road to Dublin. Host Kevin remembers his first time seeing the precocious Belfast teenager in action at the National Stadium, sweeping to Irish senior glory in the 2011 final at 52kg on the same night when a 17-year-old Joe Ward shocked Kenneth Egan in the 81kg decider. A year later, Mick became an Olympic medallist in London and when he was named RTE Sportsperson of the Year in 2015, as reigning European and World champion, an upgrade to gold in Rio looked on the cards. At the time it also seemed like he'd morph into a Dublin mainstay when he eventually turned pro but it was not to be. Yet, as Mick says, it's better late than never, and he'll finally headline at the 3Arena on September 5 against England's Jack Bateson as he chases what would be a third world title shot. Here, we sit down with the Falls Road fighter to find out why he's so excited to box in Dublin at last as a pro, how the 13 years since London 2012 have gone by in a blink, feeling no nerves before his last fight and why that was unusual for him, being one loss away from quitting, not needing boxing anymore, why it's his opponent's world title fight coming here, and his own ambition to face one final title shot at Madison Square Garden on Paddy's weekend, 2026. After a cosy lunch in the capital, we also chew the fat with irish-boxing.com pair Joe O'Neill and Matt Meehan as we look forward to a bumper couple of weeks for the domestic scene. Hosted on Acast.

In Part One of his extraordinary interview on The Rocky Road, we sit down with legendary Cavan Boxing Gym coach, Brian McKeown. Brian takes us back to the 1960s, a time when he sought opportunity in London. He recounts finding an unlikely sanctuary and a mentor in George Francis's gym, a rare beacon of inclusivity in an era notoriously marked by 'No Blacks, No Dogs, No Irish' prejudice. But Brian's journey took a dramatic turn when he returned home, becoming caught up in the Republican struggle. He shares his experiences, including a chilling run-in with the infamous Robert Nairac, and how his path led him back to Ireland with a new life ahead in Cavan. This is a powerful and candid look at the early, defining chapters of Brian McKeown's Rocky Road. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Remember the last time your stomach sank? When dread flooded into your very soul and you started to panic? It feels helpless, things are out of your control, and your self-worth plummets. We beat ourselves up, we withdraw, we hide from God. Join us this week as Peter's rocky road hits rock bottom and his life crashes down around him. Is there hope for us when we're at our lowest?
Andrew Murray, the quiet Cavan boxer, walked a Rocky Road unlike any other. As a child, he battled Perthes disease, and, despite doctors warning he could end up in a wheelchair if he boxed, the young Andrew was transfixed by Eubank and Benn, igniting an unyielding desire to step between the ropes.He defied medical caution, joining Cavan Boxing Club, and rose to become a three-time Irish Elite champion and a two-weight professional Irish champion. Andrew fought alongside a golden generation of Irish pros like Bernard Dunne, Andy Lee, John Duddy and Matthew Macklin. He shared bills with champions and contenders, from Paul McCloskey's world title night against Amir Khan, to fighting on the same card as Tyson Fury, and proudly headlining RTE fight nights.From a challenging loss to Gavin Rees after preparing in remote Ros Muc, to his final victory on a raucous Henry Coyle night in Mayo, Andrew's career was a testament to his quiet determination. In his first podcast interview, we look back at it all. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana and Chika review the manga Fruits Basket Another and celebrate their third anniversary of podcasting! The manga follows the journey of Sawa Mitawa, a sixteen-year-old girl with severe social anxiety due to her abusive mother, as she's taken in by the next generation of Sohmas as a friend. Her bonds with Mutsuki, Hajime, Riku, and the rest of the Sohmas gradually pull her gaze up from the ground and put a smile on her face. She grows particularly close to Shiki Sohma - a middle-school first-year and the son of Akito and Shigure - and a romance seems to bloom between the two of them as they both figure out how to carry the weight of their mothers' actions.Grab your spoon, and let's dig in!CONTENTS[0:51] Anniversary banter[2:28] Soft Serve Summary[3:45] General manga thoughts[10:12] Character commentary[36:27] Floats Your Boat[57:02] Banana Split[1:15:50] Rocky Road[1:41:50] Nuts[1:43:08] Hot Fudge[1:49:14] I Scream, You Scream[1:58:15] Cherry on Top[2:00:08] Anniversary thoughtsAbout Shoujo Sundae:Shoujo Sundae is a podcast safe haven for fans that are in love with shoujo anime and manga.
