Podcasts about Sporting News

Matt is joined by Bill Bender of the Sporting News to talk about the firing of James Franklin and what happens next. Plus, a study has found the Chiefs have gotten calls for years. 

In this milestone 300th episode of Two Strike Noise, Jeff and Mark are joined by Ryan Fagan, longtime Sporting News writer, Hall of Fame voter, and noted Seinfeld/baseball connoisseur. Together they finally tackle the crossover we've all been waiting for — Seinfeld and baseball. From Keith Hernandez's legendary cameo to George Steinbrenner's unseen hand, the crew breaks down how baseball became the show's unofficial fifth character. Ryan shares insider context from both the press box and the writer's room, while Jeff and Mark connect the dots between sitcom absurdity and real-life dugout drama. Along the way they revisit the fantasy camp episode, debate which ballplayer cameo aged best, and decide whether the Keith Hernandez two-parter might just be the most enduring sports cameo in television history.

In this episode of THE MENTORS RADIO, Host Dan Hesse talks with Carmen Policy, former President and CEO of the Cleveland Browns. But Policy is best known for his years as President and CEO of the San Francisco 49ers where he played a key role in all five of the 49ers' Super Bowl winning teams -- helping shape an organization that became widely viewed as the hallmark sports franchise of the '80s and '90s. Both The Sporting News and Pro Football Weekly named Carmen Policy the NFL Executive of the Year in 1994, the latter award having been determined by a vote of NFL owners and executives. The Sporting News and GQ Magazine have also named him as one of the most influential people in professional sports. An ardent believer in public service, Carmen formerly served for several years on the Board of Trustees of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. He's earned numerous honors, including being inducted into the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame. Carmen and his wife Gail also make a highly-decorated wine, Casa Piena. In this episode, Carmen shares his very interesting career journey, his leadership lessons, and what it means to “Win With Class.” Listen to THE MENTORS RADIO podcast anywhere, any time, on any platform, including Spotify and Apple, just click here!

(00:00-27:45) Gabe DeArmond of Power Mizzou joins us on his bye week. What are his bye week plans? Intriguing games to watch this weekend. Not going to know Cayden Green's status until next Friday night. Confidence level in Bobby Boots. Gabe's outlook on Alabama and Vanderbilt. The Sporting News swipe. Aggregation and plagiarism. Some questions from the text line. Some taco and diaper talk.(27:53-32:05) What are you going to be for Halloween? New Radio Wars with some heavy accusations from The RIzz Show. Chris Hansen was indeed on the show. Drops of the Week.(32:15-54:03) Blues broadcaster Joey Vitale joins us. The Blues rolled out the varsity team and got the big win last night. Mathieu Joseph making a push to make the team. Wanting to go into the season feeling confident. The third and fourth lines. Playing 6 on 5 when the other team pulls their goalie. Questions from the text line for Joey. Farmer Dale and raw milk. Will Binnington retire a Blue? Did he find the wedding ring? You can never have too much cheese.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Audio of Matthew Fitzpatrick responding to PGA of America President Don Rea's comments about the treatment of visiting players at Bethpage being the same as the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome. You don't wanna be the Man in the Envelope. Mr. Lix is on the line. Did he put us on hold? Lix is critical of the dossier and Jackson's stance on Waterloo.

After an agonising last-minute equaliser in Monaco (with a fair bit of controversy thrown in), David Mooney is joined by City fan Dan Burke and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell, to discuss Manchester City's victory over Burnley and their draw in the Champions League. Did the scorelines of each game tell the whole story? Possibly not. Erling Haaland's brace against Burnley made him the Premier League's top-scoring Norwegian, so we take a look at all of the other players that have played City who are their country's leading marksman in the top flight (and we discuss some of our favourite goals by them). Then, as City travel to Brentford, before the international break, we hear from Mike Johnston from The Ealing Road podcast to find out about their start to the season - plus we look ahead to the match and what we want to see from Pep Guardiola's side. We also take some time out to mention some awful refereeing decisions from the past, plus look at Bernardo Silva's pre-match comments about his future.

Bill Bender, national college football writer for Sporting News, joins 365 Sports to share his takeaways from Oregon's thrilling win over Penn State, James Franklin's struggles in big games, and Dante Moore's rise as a Heisman contender. Bender also breaks down Alabama's bounce back, Lane Kiffin's success at Ole Miss, the rise of surprise teams like Vanderbilt and Indiana, and which coaches could be in the mix for Arkansas.

Ben and Brent start the second hour setting up the Blue Jays' return to Rogers Centre tonight to start an important three-game set with the Astros. The hosts talk about what's at stake for the American League's top team as they host the A.L. West division leaders. Toronto announced their starters for the series, flipping two of their guys off the regular rotation rest, so B&B break down the reasoning behind the swap. They focus on the middle game starter, José Berríos, and dive deeper into his recent struggles to debate if this is start of a career decline. Later, the boys turn their attention back to the NFL alongside Bill Bender (23:07) of The Sporting News. He offers his thoughts on MNF and Week 1 in general, before taking a closer look at the progression of quarterbacks at the pro level including J.J. McCarthy, Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and even some of collegiate players like Arch Manning.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Today in history, Bill Bender of the Sporting News, Quick Hitters: Big wins for USF and Oklahoma, Buckeyes roll Grambling State 70-0 and recapping the rest of the CFB/NFL weekend.

The Sporting News ranked all the NFL starting quarterbacks. Tua was ranked 28th! Justin Fields is at 24. Russell Wilson is at 23. Boomer said the Colts have lost 11 straight season openers. Gio wonders why Phil Simms is not joining us on Wednesdays this football season.

Hour 1 The Mets beat the Tigers again and Nolan McLean pitched great again after having a rough start to the game. Boomer would start him first in a playoff series. Max Fried pitched well against Houston last night. We also talked about Astros pitcher Framber Valdez purposely crossing up his catcher and hitting him in the chest with a fastball. Jerry is here for his first update of the day, but first Boomer compared McLean to Tom Seaver, so that's where we're at this morning. The Tigers' broadcasters seemed very impressed with his pitching. The Yankees won in Houston with a Trent Grisham grand slam. In the final segment of the hour, the Giants have listed Jaxson Dart as the backup quarterback to Russell Wilson instead of having Jameis Winston as the number two. Boomer likes the move. We also talked about Andrew Thomas' injury. Hour 2 Rich Cimini tweeted that Vivid Seats claims there will be 48% Steelers fans at the Jets home opener on Sunday. Gio thinks that's a bad look for the opening game. Steelers fans do travel well, but almost half the stadium? A caller said Evan Roberts sold his Jets tix for the Steelers game. Callers said they sell their tickets because MetLife is the worst stadium in the NFL. Jerry returns for an update and compares Al Dukes to Adam Schein in their takes on the upcoming Bills season. The agent for Micah Parsons was on with Pat McAfee and said he did not tell Jerry Jones to stick the contract offer up his butt. Dan Campbell is excited to be going to Lambeau for week one. The Mets won again in Detroit as Nolan McLean had another impressive outing. The Yankees beat Houston as Jazz Chisholm hit two home runs. Rafael Devers homered against Colorado and the benches cleared because he admired it. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer wondered which college head coaching job is the toughest. Hour 3 The Sporting News ranked all the NFL starting quarterbacks. Tua was ranked 28th! Justin Fields is at 24. Russell Wilson is at 23. Boomer said the Colts have lost 11 straight season openers. Gio wonders why Phil Simms is not joining us on Wednesdays this football season. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Micah Parsons and if he will need an epidural to play in week 1. Mike Gundy did a commercial for a wireless company doing a parody of his, ‘I'm a man, I'm 40!' Jerry went around the NFL including Mike Tomlin on Justin Fields. The Yankees beat the Astros as Grisham hit a grand slam and Jazz hit 2 home runs. Bob Does Sports asked Aaron Boone about fans in the Legends seats eating instead of sitting in the seats. The Mets got another great performance from Nolan McLean and they beat the Tigers. In the final segment of the hour, we got Boomer & Gio stickers for our laptops when on TV. We also talked more about Micah Parsons getting an epidural. Steve in Atlanta checks in and says his wife gave birth ‘on all fours'. Hour 4 Earlier in the show, Boomer said that Mets pitcher Nolan McLean reminded him of Tom Seaver, and we thought that was a bit over the top. All the old people are calling, agreeing with Boomer. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with the Mets win in Detroit, including the Tigers' broadcasters who seemed amazed by McLean. The Yankees won in Houston as Trent Grisham hit another grand slam. Dianna Russini said Alijah Vera Tucker suffered a potentially serious injury and could miss significant time. Adam Schefter said it's an arm injury and may require surgery. The Moment of The Day: Is Phil Simms joining us this football season? In the final segment of the show, we talked more about the breaking news on Tucker's significant arm injury.

National radio host on the Infinity Sports Network, Zach Gelb, previews the Dolphins-Colts Week 1 opener and joins in on the show's outrage at a SportingNews ranking that lists Tua as the 28th best QB in the NFL.

In hour three, best WRs to play for each NFL franchise. More prop bets are available for Dolphins - Colts Week 1. More Dolphins hate coming from Sporting News as they rank Tua as the 28th best QB in the NFL. After, we listen to the two calls Don Bailey Jr worked into the Canes broadcast vs Notre Dame.
