This week on Y's Guys, hosts Dave McCann and Brian Logan deliver a defensive-heavy edition of the show as they spotlight BYU Football's return as the Big 12's top defense heading into fall camp. The Cougars rank No. 1 in scoring defense, total defense, pass efficiency defense, and turnovers—including a nation-leading 21 interceptions. Linebacker Jack Kelly sets the tone early by saying he's aiming for 10 sacks this season—a bold goal with elite company behind him, including Cougar sack legends like Mekeli Ieremia and Jan Jorgensen.The show welcomes Max Hall, the winningest quarterback in BYU history, back to the desk to talk about quarterback battles, fall camp pressure, and what it takes to seize the starting job. Hall reflects on replacing John Beck in 2006, starting without prior game experience, and going on to win 32 games. He offers thoughtful insight into BYU's current QB competition between Treyson Bourguet, McCae Hillstead, and Bear Bachmeier, and explains how BYU's experienced defense and special teams give a new quarterback the best chance to succeed.Later, the show honors its "Y's Guy for a Day" contest winner, Tim Filichia, a lifelong BYU fan from Colorado Springs who shares priceless stories from his time as a student from 1977 to 1985. Tim remembers listening to games on the radio at his wedding reception, cutting hair at the BYU Barbershop, and rooting for legendary QBs like Gifford Nielsen, Jim McMahon, and Steve Young. His segment adds a nostalgic and heartwarming touch to the episode.The crew wraps up with key updates from BYU Basketball, including a loaded non-conference schedule featuring matchups with Villanova, UConn, Wisconsin, Clemson, and potentially Miami or Georgetown.

She opens up about her time in the WNBA with the Washington Mystics and shares wild overseas stories — like dodging flying objects from rowdy fans in Greece — and how those moments shaped her perspective on life and leadership.One of the most powerful chapters in her story came when she was unexpectedly named interim head coach of the Phoenix Mercury. With little time to prepare, Coach Blue stepped up, earning the respect of superstars like Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner while guiding the team to one of the most explosive offensive quarters in WNBA history.Now an assistant coach at USC, Coach Blue is helping guide one of the hottest programs in the country — all while coaching for UCLA's crosstown rival. She talks candidly about what it means to put rivalry aside and focus on elevating the women's game in Southern California.You'll also hear her powerful advice for today's players and parents navigating the new age of NIL deals, transfer portals, and AAU overload. Coach Blue keeps it real, emphasizing balance, values, and taking control of your time and journey:“This is one of the biggest decisions of your life. Enjoy it. Take your time. And don't let anyone rush your greatness.”Coach Nikki Blue's story is a masterclass in resilience, leadership, and staying grounded while chasing big dreams.

If you want to understand one of the biggest power shifts happening in sports and branding right now, look no further than the WNBA. In this episode of Brand Slam, Steve Rosa and Joe Kayata sit down with Connecticut Sun President Jen Rizzotti to break down the rise of women's sports, and why it's not just a moment, but a movement transforming the industry. Rizzotti, a trailblazer who led UConn to its first national title in 1995 and went on to win two WNBA championships, shares her unique perspective on how the narrative around women's sports is evolving, it's a branding shift with staying power. The conversation kicks off with Jen's reflections on how cultural momentum, increased media visibility and next-gen stars like Caitlin Clark have helped transform women's basketball into a mainstream powerhouse. The trio digs into the “branding tsunami” that's hitting the WNBA, where increased attendance, stronger TV deals and bolder brand partnerships are redefining what success looks like for a professional women's league. Listeners get an insider view into how the WNBA is marketing its expansion by adding teams in Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia over the next five years, and how smart city selection and community engagement are core strategies. Jen also opens up about the Connecticut Sun's own success story, including selling out TD Garden and what Boston's market could mean for the franchise's future. Beyond the court, the episode explores the rapidly shifting dynamics of NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) in college sports and how it might have changed the game for Jen's era of players. She highlights how today's women athletes are now more empowered than ever to build their personal brands and secure meaningful partnerships. This is essential listening for any brand looking to align with purpose and momentum—because women's sports aren't just rising, they're rewriting the playbook.

In this episode of The Key and Mang Audio Experience, we unpack a rare and real moment from WNBA legend Candace Parker. When speaking about her relationship (or lack of one) with UConn's Geno Auriemma, she said:“We just don't like each other—and we have to be okay in society with being like, ‘I don't like you. You don't like me. Let's keep it moving.'”This kind of honesty isn't something you typically hear in the mainstream, especially in sports culture. We break down what that moment says about boundaries, mutual respect, and emotional maturity, and how social media has made it harder to speak freely without being misunderstood.We also get into how we personally handle conflict, the non-verbal cues that give us away, and why it's okay not to vibe with everyone—as long as it's done with respect.Not every connection needs to be forced. Sometimes, the healthiest thing you can do is move on and protect your peace.
