Several articles have come out in recent weeks ranking NBA Front Offices. Hoops Hype ranked every NBA team's asset base and Yahoo Sports! used a rudimentary Sabremetrics system to rank Front Office moves. Both lists have the Bulls at or towards the very bottom of the league. Mark and Will discuss whether that criticism is far or has gone too far on today's CHGO Bulls Show HQ Edition.

He's currently in a venture that is leveraging a vast trove of historic sports articles and photographs, but he was also the CEO of SABR, the Society of American Baseball Research (an offshoot of SabreMetrics, of "Moneybag") fame.

A day early for Thanksgiving, in this first episode of our 'off-season' we're joined by SABR (Society for American Baseball Research) membership ambassador Bruce McClure who's a baseball nut just like we are!

The Wendy's Big Show Hour Three: We feature two Brewers guests this hour, starting with a visit from the team's bench coach Pat Murphy!

Also, our usual Tuesday guest Tim Dillard joins us for a talk about muddy baseballs (you'll have to listen to learn what we mean!)
Pat Murphy sees a lot serving as bench coach for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Welcome to another episode of Don't Be Crazy! Here we discuss and dissect what makes a film (past or present) absolutely amazing or a pile of rubbish. All that we ask of each other is don't be crazy. You can't tell me Baseball's not romantic. Tune in as we discuss the 2011 Bennett Miller true story film Moneyball about Sabremetrics and how a statistical change of thinking took baseball by storm. Did the experiment work? Or are baseball players only scouted properly using "the eye test?" Take a listen and don't forget to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.

Michael Schwimer is the CEO of Big League Advance, a company that makes investments in Minor League baseball players in exchange for an agreed-upon percentage of their future earnings. Before founding BLA, Michael was a professional baseball player, working his way through the minors and reaching the majors as a pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. A shoulder injury left him pondering what to do next, which led to the creation of BLA. Our conversation discusses Michael’s career as a player, the difficult life of Minor Leaguers, and his mission to improve their fortunes. We discuss his passion for statistics, application of Sabremetrics, and development of a team of All-Stars in the game of sports analytics. We close with a look into the future of BLA and Michael’s prediction for this year’s World Series Champion. Whether his bet proves right or wrong, Michael’s rationale exemplifies second order thinking through the lens of data analytics that is never far from his mind.

Brother, the boys have their boots laced and they're ready to work the matinee show. This week, Lawson and Benel talk about their trip to the NYC Progress Show in Queens, they review the results of the G1 Climax, they make their predictions for NXT Takeover and they don't talk about Summerslam in the slightest (Seriously, everyone else covers Summerslam. Go listen to their podcast). It's all happening between the bells, so tell the timekeeper that it's going to time! It's Talking Smark. Note: Friend of the podcast, Ryan Sorensen, is in trouble. Recently, he's had surgery and has found himself homeless. Benel has set up a gofundme page to help get him back on his feet.
