Podcasts about Team USA

MLB Network’s Ryan Dempster joins the show to talk about how he feels about players participating in the WBC, his impressions of the Mariners from last season, and what he looks for in order to judge the younger players in spring training. // From what we heard yesterday from Seahawks GM John Schneider, was there any insight we gained that tells us which players they plan on bringing back next season? // Sweeping the Dial: Cole Young blasted two homeruns in the Mariners win over the Rangers. Brennan Davis showed off the glove when he made a diving catch to help get Kade Anderson through three scoreless innings. Mark DeRosa was not shying away from his expectations for Team USA in the WBC. 

We're going live this morning to break down a busy weekend across the sports world. From the ice rink to the gridiron to the international diamond, there's a lot to talk about. First, we'll dive into the latest moves from the NHL trade deadline - who bought, who sold, and which teams may have just positioned themselves for a deep Stanley Cup run. Then we'll shift over to the NFL to discuss the blockbuster trade involving the Las Vegas Raiders and the Baltimore Ravens for All-Pro edge rusher Maxx Crosby. What does the deal mean for both franchises, and how could it reshape the AFC heading into next season? Finally, we'll take a look at the excitement surrounding the World Baseball Classic. With international rivalries heating up and star players representing their countries, we'll talk about the biggest storylines and what fans should watch for in the tournament. Are Samurai Japan and Team USA headed for a championship showdown, or will other countries crash the party? No Credentials Required is a part of Belly Up Sports Media Network.

Welcome to Episode 146 of Tablesetters, where we cover everything happening across the world of baseball. Tonight's LIVE special follows the opening matchup between Team USA and Brazil as Pool B play begins in Houston at the 2026 World Baseball Classic. We're recording immediately after the final out, breaking down Team USA's 15–5 victory over Brazil — examining pitching usage, lineup construction, key moments, and what the result means for the United States as the tournament begins to take shape. Manager Mark DeRosa entered the tournament with one of the most closely watched pitching plans of any national team. Earlier this week he finalized the United States' rotation structure, beginning with Logan Webb starting tonight's opener against Brazil. Webb has quietly developed into one of the most dependable starters in the National League, built around a heavy sinker that generates ground balls and limits damaging contact. In a condensed international tournament where efficiency can matter as much as dominance, that profile made him a logical choice to anchor the first game of pool play. Behind Webb, the American rotation quickly transitions into two of the most overpowering arms in baseball. Two-time American League Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal is scheduled to take the ball in Game 2 against Great Britain, while reigning National League Cy Young winner Paul Skenes is lined up to face Mexico in Game 3. The fourth game against Italy is currently projected for Nolan McLean, though that plan remains fluid as he continues recovering from a recent illness. The structure of the rotation reflects the unique challenge of the World Baseball Classic. Pitchers must operate under tournament pitch limits while also remaining aligned with their Major League clubs' preparation for Opening Day. DeRosa acknowledged earlier this week that managing those constraints requires balancing competitiveness with long-term health and scheduling realities. Offensively, the American roster remains one of the deepest assembled in international baseball. Team captain Aaron Judge addressed the group before the tournament began, emphasizing the pride associated with representing the United States. The lineup surrounding him features elite star power and positional flexibility, including potential platoon usage in center field between Pete Crow-Armstrong and Byron Buxton. The broader tournament landscape only heightens the significance of tonight's opener. The 2026 World Baseball Classic features 20 national teams competing across Tokyo, San Juan, Houston, and Miami through March 17. Japan enters the tournament as the defending champion after defeating the United States in the 2023 final, while several other nations — including the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico — arrive with rosters capable of making deep runs. Tonight was the first step in that journey for the United States — and it ended with a decisive 15–5 opening win.

On today's show, Pat, AJ Hawk, and the boys wrap up everything that happened this week in the NFL as a few more players are being released ahead of the tampering period opening on Monday, they preview the World Baseball Classic as Team USA plays Brazil tonight, all the NBA and NCAA basketball games this weekend, the UFC, and everything else happening in the sports world. Joining the show to chat about Jayson Tatum potentially rejoining the Celtics and playing tonight after an Achilles tear is ESPN Senior NBA Insider, Shams Charania. Later, 3x Super Bowl Champion, and current General Manager of the North Carolina Football team, Michael Lombardi joins the show to chat about their offseason, and give his takes on everything happening around the NFL currently including Kyler Murray, AJ Brown potentially getting traded, DJ Moore going to the Bills, and much more.

Our 50th episode marks an exciting milestone for Brand Slam, and to celebrate it we welcome back one of our favorite guests, Kathryn Tappen of NBC Sports.  This episode takes listeners inside one of the most powerful storytelling stages in sports: the Olympic Games. When the world tunes in to watch history unfold, broadcasters play a critical role in shaping how those moments are experienced, remembered and shared. Few understand that responsibility better than Kathryn. The Emmy Award–winning NBC Sports broadcaster has now covered seven Olympics, including the recent 2026 Winter Games in Milan. With hosts Steve Rosa and Joe Kayata, Kathryn shares stories from rinkside of Team USA's gold medal runs in both men's and women's Olympic hockey. The conversation explores the sustained dominance of the U.S. women's program and the men's historic first Olympic gold since 1980, while offering a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like to document those moments as they unfold. Kathryn also reflects on what it takes to conduct a defining postgame interview in one of the most emotionally charged environments in sports, with 26 million viewers watching. Her conversation with Jack Hughes moments after his overtime game-winning goal quickly became one of the signature media moments of the Games.  The episode examines the enduring power of the Olympic brand. With the 2026 Winter Games averaging 23.5 million viewers across broadcast and streaming platforms, NBCUniversal delivered the most-watched Winter Olympics of all time. The discussion highlights why the Olympics remain one of the most valuable storytelling platforms for athletes, broadcasters and brands alike. Episode 50 celebrates both a milestone for Brand Slam and the timeless appeal of the Olympic Games. It is a reminder that the moments we remember most are not just defined by the athletes who win gold, but also by the storytellers who bring those victories to life. Have an idea for a guest?

"It's been a really, really tough couple days. I've never been such a combination of stressed and sad." At Sunday's USA Track and Field Half Marathon Championships in Atlanta, the top three women — Jess McClain, Emma Grace Hurley, and Ednah Kurgat — were led off course in the final mile of the race. The three were on track to take the podium, and to earn spots to represent the United States on a World Championship team. All signs were pointing to Jess, Emma Grace, and Ednah becoming Team USA ahead of the 2026 World Athletics Road Running Championships in Copenhagen this September. National titles, prize money, sponsor bonuses, and, of course, the glory of breaking the tape and earning that moment were all on the line.  Much has been said about the race, the misdirection, and the immediate aftermath. Molly Born ultimately broke the tape, as Jess, Emma Grace, and Ednah clawed their way back into the mix. But what happens now? The one unanimous takeaway from that day in Atlanta is that no one feels good about how the day played out.  Today, Emma Grace Hurley comes to us from her much-deserved post-race vacation in the Cayman Islands to offer her unique perspective on all of this. Emma Grace spent the early years of her running career as a member of Atlanta Track Club Elite. She has served on committees for USA Track and Field, and currently lives in Indianapolis, where she is coached by former Atlanta Track Club Elite coach Andrew Begley. Emma Grace has a deeper understanding than most about how these various organizations work, about what goes into pulling off a road race of this scale and, of course, about what it's like being an athlete with so much at stake.

We opened with the Knicks' loss at MSG featuring questionable foul calls, Boomer identifying Mohamed Diawara as his new "Precious Achiuwa." C-Lo highlights Mike Brown's comments on the Knicks' poor three-point shooting and his first technical of the season involving SGA's ability to draw fouls. The discussion shifted to SGA's eccentric post-game attire, Jerry's baggy golf parachute pants, and Aaron Judge's monster home run for Team USA against the Rockies. The hour closed with the news of Lou Holtz's passing at 89.

The show kicks off with the Knicks' loss at MSG, Boomer's discovery of Mohamed Diawara, and Mike Brown's first technical, Aaron Judge's home run for Team USA, and the passing of Lou Holtz. We talk Giants trades for Tremaine Edmunds and Kenneth Walker, Al's 25th anniversary, the Devils' shootout win, and NFL salary cap floors. Also, Maxx Crosby rumored to the Bears. After detailing Rodgers' personal life and Alex Guerrero's friction with the Raiders, the morning concludes with C-Lo's breakfast delivery chaos, Rodgers' paparazzi stories, a 10-year-old's impression of Paul in Yonkers, and final thoughts on the Jets drafting Ty Simpson.

This week we're joined by Allison Mercer, a Team USA ultrarunner, championship competitor, and thoughtful voice in the running community, to unpack the controversy that unfolded at the 2026 USATF Half Marathon Championships in Atlanta.Allison is an accomplished distance runner who has represented the United States at the ultrarunning world championships and competed at national championship events herself. Allison is also a leader in the Atlanta running community and served as the three-hour pacer for the marathon event, which occurred on the same day.On race day in Atlanta, chaos erupted in the closing mile when the lead vehicle directed the front pack of women — including Jess McClain, Emma Grace Hurley, and Ednah Kurgat — off the correct course. The mistake dramatically altered the outcome of the national championship and raised serious questions about race organization, athlete fairness, and accountability. In response, Allison wrote a widely discussed op-ed for Outside Run analyzing the incident and the reaction that followed. Rather than simply assigning blame, she explored the deeper structural issues behind championship road racing — from course control and race operations to governing-body policies — while urging the running community to pursue accountability without losing perspective on the people involved.In this conversation, Allison brings her experience as an athlete and community leader to share how we can better respond to mistakes in our community. We appreciate Allison's insight!You can find Allison on Instagram @onewomandancepartyFollow us on Instagram and Facebook Interested in hiring a coach?

Were the Colorado Rockies used as a confidence booster/slump buster for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic? Connery thinks so. Stefon Diggs was released by the New England Patriots - maybe because he (allegedly) strangles people. California State University, Bakersfield hired a basketball coach, who was also a pimp. Mike Evans of 104.3 The Fan (Denversports.com) said Gabe Landeskog is a giant disappointment. Was he right or wrong? And how does Peyton Manning fit into this conversation? Will the Denver Broncos trade away Jarrett Stidham? Apparently there's several teams that want him. And would the Broncos be fine with JK Dobbins as their running back, again?

Is Cade Cunningham getting the respect he deserves… or is the hype machine in overdrive? This week on Alley Oop, Juju and Trysta welcome Zach Harper from The Athletic for a full-on NBA debate episode — and things get SPICY. We kick things off with the big question: Is Cade Cunningham an MVP candidate… or are we getting ahead of ourselves? Does he deserve praise for carrying Detroit — or shade for the results? From there, the besmirching spreads: Are the Spurs the second-best team in the West? Can ANYONE beat Team USA in Olympic basketball? Who are the true powerhouses — East vs West? Why won't Luka shoot when he's WIDE OPEN?! Kelsey Plum does an Aliyah Boston elbow impression and we cannot recover. It's debates, hot takes, chaos, and a LOT of shade. If you love NBA debates, spicy basketball takes, and zero chill analysis — you're in the right place. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
