Show notes provide by Joe PelusoChris and Joe are back at the sports desk with another update on the world of sports that continues to thrill and dishearten its legion of fans. Like a screaming line drive smacked up the left-center field cap, the MLB postseason barrels on! The L.A. Dodgers took care of the Reds in short order (The Mets were watching from golf courses in Florida), as the rest of the contests continued at a frenetic pace.   Over in the NFL, the Buffalo Bills continue to dominate with Josh Allen leading the charge. And Josh Allen became a focal point of conversation, as the boys posited the merits of the "hybrid QB" Have the likes of Allen, Mahomes, and Jackson made the next Manning(s) or even Brady obsolete? Is the pocket passer past his prime?   Well, you can either drop back, roll out or step up after the ballis snapped, but don't "pass" (OUCH!) on this episode!

Show notes provided by Joe PelusoWith back to back Stanley Cups under their belts, Chris and Joepreview the 2025/2026 Florida Panthers upcoming NHL season. Employing lethal legerdemain in the front office, the brain thrust of the Panthers brought back to the ice almost everyone to make a rush at a "three peat"  With his usual unerring stick to puck skills, Chris lays out the most important factors that could make a third straight Cup possible for the Florida fans.But will season ending surgery to centre Aleksander Barkov, and a lingering injury to forward MatthewTkachuk derail their best laid plans? Or can the Panthers "skate"through the early part of the season, licking their wounds, and then strike feline-like at the rest of the league? The hockey world will be watching. Because not since the halcyon days of the New York Islanders has any team won three straight Cups.   It should be an interesting and wild season.

Show Date: 10/6/25Andy and Dan talk WNBA, MLB Playoffs, NY Mets, College Football, Mark Sanchez, UFL, Arizona Fall League and more!Sports and Songs Podcast Links:https://www.facebook.com/sportsandsongs1https://twitter.com/SportsandSongs1https://www.instagram.com/sportsandsongs/https://www.sportsandsongspodcast.com/

Show notes provided by Joe PelusoBack at the Mint Sports Desk with another NHL team preview, Chris and Joe take to the ice for the lowdown of the 2025/2026 New York Islanders season. Who's back, who's gone, free agents, the dreaded IL, the schedule, and chances for making the postseason are all covered once again with meticulous precision and proficiency by our master netminder, Chris.   Even Joe (lunatic Rangers fan that he is) respects and admires Long Island's hockey team for its rich, record setting history of play in the NHL. And so from Long Island City to the Montauk Point Lighthouse join us for this loooong Isles preview.  Oh, if you're headed to the game, give yourself some extra time that Long Island Expressway is a bear.

Show notes provided by Joe PelusoThe wild and wooly MLB season continues as teams scramble to get into the playoffs. There are serious scintillating scenarios that stagger the most seasoned supporter as each play could send your team to the showers, or propel them into the postseason. Join Chris and Joe as they try valiantly toduck out of the way of the "high hard ones" and get back in the box to go yard with their observations and predictions.    The guys also examine the state of MLB's bullpens (and theircontinued lack of effectiveness), and "the hangover effect"(impossibly long seasons) of MLB and the NHL that could hamper a team's play in future seasons.    The NFL may have snatched the sports sobriquet of "America"s "Passtime" from MLB, but it is still abundantly clear that "the grand old game" is still our nation's "passion".

Andy's latest on what's happening in women's sports

Show Date: 9/29/25Andy and Dan are joined by Town Ball Tuesday (Ryno Simonson) for this thoughts on the 2026 MLB robot ump, and new Criteria Points that were released for Town Ball. Other MLB updates as well!Twitter: @TownBallTuesdaySponsor link: https://shamasportsheadliners.com/Sports and Songs Podcast Links:https://www.facebook.com/sportsandsongs1https://twitter.com/SportsandSongs1https://www.instagram.com/sportsandsongs/https://www.sportsandsongspodcast.com/

Show notes provided by Joe PelusoChris and Joe are back at the Mint Sports Desk for another update on the impending end of the MLB season, and the forthcoming playoffs.Who's going to have the best record, win their divisions, and capture a wild card. And as the season heads to the warning track, seconds guesses abound, injuries continue to mount and confound (Have you heard the one about Anthony Volpe?), and some awesome baseball recordsare challenged.    The guys touch briefly on the NFL, and ask the $64,000 question: When will the Giants start Jaxson Dart? Joe has a better question: When will the Giants win another football game?    Remember being a sports fan tests your patience, so put thatremote down when the Yankees go to the bullpen, or the Giants and Jets come out of their tunnels. Your large screen TV is too big a target.

Show notes provided by Joe PelusoAs the MLB and NFL seasons continue to give you "agita", remember October 7th is right around the corner. It is the glorious day when the NHL season begins, and the dreams of hoisting Lord Stanley's Cup in a packed arena, to the cheers of a raucous crowd, dance in one's head! Following up on our New York Rangers preview, Chris and Joe are back for the low down on The New Jersey Devils!   Chris brings to bear his extensive knowledge of the sport, and his articulate, and accurate predictions for the upcoming Devils' season. Schedules, injuries, free agents to be, special teams, and more, hit the ice for your prognostic pleasure.   Don't spend time in the penalty box because you aren't in the know. But take your seat on the bench, and be informed when it's time for your shift.

Show notes provided by Joe Peluso Some sports, and the stars that participate in them, are all about timing and repeatability. Marino Rivera, Pete Weber, and Tiger Woods come to mind, and now we have to add Chris and Joe to the list of guys who are there to deliver on time, and on target. It's a Mint sports episode that delivers the goods on The New York Knicks, the MLB Playoffs, the injury bug, and the the sports fanatics fascination with defense.   What is "spin rate",and how might it be more responsible forinjuries to MLB pitchers then was previously suspected? Who's the new head coach of the New York Knickerbockers? Who's in, and who's outside looking in as the baseball playoffs take shape? And of the four major sports, how important is defense to ultimate success? The guys take up all these topics as they rush in from the pen to put out the fire on the base paths, drive the lane to the basket, and screen the goalie for a score. Of course if Joe tries any of these things, he might be intraction for a week. But the boys will soldier on with impeccable timing and rapid repeatability to bring you all the sports thats fit to (No,I'm not gonna say it.) talk about!

Show Date: 9/8/25Dan and Andy welcome Toby Hanson to the show. Toby is a member of the Class B Minnesota State Amateur Baseball Championship team, the Delano Athletics.

Andy cover current sports news

Show notes provided by Joe PelusoAs "The Scooter" Phil Rizzuto used to say: "HOLY COW!" The guys are back at the sports desk faster than a "Ryan Express" fastball. That's Nolan Ryan for you youngsters out there. But as you might have surmised this current episode, along with the usual fare of MLB, NHL, NFL, and (unfortunately) the IL updates, will be testing and teasing you with sports Nicknames.   Your hosts Chris and Joe have some fun trying to stump each other with silly sobriquets and manic monikers of some of the most famous and legendary pro athletes who ever "cracked a dinger", or "put the biscuit in the net".   Hey, sports can be fun, even as Joe tears what's left of his hairout of his head while watching Yankees games!

This week's slate of college football games may be a bit of a bummer on paper, but that doesn't stop us from having a perfectly enjoyable time talking about it.

Shows notes provided by Joe PelusoAfter a lengthy road trip the boys are back in town for another "sports short"! Yes Chris, and Joe have made it back to the Mint Sports Desk to report on the head scratching MLB season, the NHL postseason and forthcoming pre-season, the plethora of New York Giants QB's (including Tommy Cutlets), and yes--even a nod to the NBA.    IL stints, rising stars, monumental base running gaffs, forthcoming free agents, power plays (or lack thereof), wild cards, and fan expectations are just some of the not so tepid topics tackled tenaciously by the guys.    Sink into your favorite chair, with the beverage of your choice,and let Chris and Joe pitch, sling, and slap shot their sportsspeculations at you faster than you can say "DOWN GOES FRAZIER!"

Some stories stay with you—not because they're easy to hear, but because they change the way you see the world. Brett Staples was more than his diagnosis. He was a son, a friend, a light in the room… and when that light dimmed, his father, Bob, refused to let it go quietly. This is a story about love that refuses to fade, grief that refuses to stay silent, and a mission to make sure that what happened to Brett doesn't happen in vain.Featured in 'The Sports Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Bob StaplesHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: DaniHaDaniProduced by: AwareNow Media
