Show Notes
SVP and Steve recap a big first weekend of the NBA and NHL Playoffs. The best thing of the past week was the Sabres claiming their first playoff win in 15 years. The guys discuss the scene in Buffalo, Monaco’s call and more. In the NBA, Wemby had a dominant game one that has many thinking the Spurs could win it all. But could they despite the postseason inexperience? SVP then shares his thoughts on the way SGA is officiated, acknowledging both sides of the argument. LeBron is still doing it at 41 and the Magic pulled off the upset in game one, but can the Lakers and Orlando do it four times? SVP also makes a bold prediction on Steve Kerr, while Stanford Steve offers a suggestion. Plus, Steve shares his hilarious experience at the Nationals game with his family, the guys give their thoughts on the Dexter Lawrence trade, SVP shares an important flag football story and Steve has a bone to pick with refs in 12 y/o 3v3 hoops. | SVPod

First, the guys touch on the NBA season getting underway before breaking down the 49ers win over the Commanders on MNF. Can San Francisco keep it up with all the injuries? Plus SVP shares his thoughts on the Dan Quinn discourse and what to make of the questionable happenings in the recent Commanders games. The Vikings play again this week and the offense might be turning the corner. Could Minnesota become a truly elite team? Are the Broncos good? And what are we to do with the 2-4 Rams? SVP isn’t selling his stock.
Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve recap a WILD day of college football including some of the most surprising results to date. The guys start with BYU knocking off Notre Dame in Provo, with Steve offering his thoughts after seeing the game in person. SVP explains how Bear Bachmeier proved him wrong and what BYU did well in the massive win. Miami hung on against Florida State in a game that saw some questionable officiating in the end, but Miami won and the Canes will likely be the new No. 1 team in the country on Sunday.
Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve give their Rams-Bills reaction, discuss the best team in the NFL and preview the weekend’s biggest college games. The guys got to see a classic in SoFi that saw Josh Allen do Josh Allen things and the Rams special teams struggle once again. What to make of the Rams’ 2-3 start and moving on from kicker Harrison Mevis, which prompted SVP to some riveting kicker research that led to some good ol’ nostalgia. Why don’t kickers stay with their team longer nowadays?! Plus, SVP and Steve discuss the Washington Commanders’ debacle at the end of the game against the New York Giants. Finally, SVP shares why he’s rooting for the Brewers and the guys preview Ohio State-Indiana and Notre Dame-BYU. | SVPod
Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve Coughlin give their instant reactions to college football week 6. Georgia knocked off Alabama in an absolute thriller in Tuscaloosa while Kentucky upset LSU in Lexington. As if the night window wasn't good enough, USC went into State College and beat Penn State on white out night. Plus, what to make of Oklahoma's upset win over Texas in the Red River Rivalry, UCLA's low-scoring road victory over Oregon in Eugene as the Ducks' season takes a turn for the worse and South Carolina's demolition of a Florida team that was ranked in the Top 10 just last week, before experiencing back-to-back uncompetitive losses to Mizzou and SC.
Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve are here to share their biggest takeaways from NFL Week 4. Starting in New Orleans, SVP and Steve share their experiences in the Big Easy honoring the Saints’ infamous punt block 20 years ago on MNF after Hurricane Katrina. SVP discusses how special the Domecoming scene was before the game and what it meant to talk with Steve Gleason, Trombone Shorty and others. The guys then get into the Falcons’ dominant win over the Saints, sharing takeaways from Michael Penix and Bijan Robinson’s performances. Three teams are 4-0, which one is the best? Why Stanford Steve thinks it’s NONE of them, and that the Jaguars have the rightful claim to the league’s best team through a month of ball. The Carolina Panthers are on the rise and Steve is waving the Bryce Young MVP flag. Too soon? Or is he finally emerging as a top-tier QB in the league. Penalties are at an all-time high across the league, leaving SVP frustrated and befuddled, and also nostalgic on what particular ref’s holding call gesture. Additionally, the guys talk the MLB playoffs, Georgia-Alabama, Tom Kim’s amazing win, the 0-4 Texans, how football used to be played in ANY type of weather and of course, Pooptown. | SVPod
