Code of Honor - The SFB Podcast (3/6/2011).....

BYU suspended its center, Brandon Davies, for violating the school's honor code and more people seemed to question the code itself and the school's thinking in damaging their chances at an NCAA Championship, than applauded BYU for showing the integrity to do the right thing and ignoring what his suspension would mean to the basketball team. We'll look at the BYU decision and why I wish more people/teams/schools would follow their lead. Plus a look around the other sport stories of the week. Enjoy.

Dropping the Puck - The SFB Podcast (10/7/2010).....

The NHL season kicks off this afternoon with the Hurricanes facing the Wild in Helsinki and then four more games tonight. Will the Blackhawks, after moving multiple players to get under the cap, be able to make a run at repeating? Will the Capitals make up for last year's playoff disaster and make the finals? Or maybe it is Sidney Crosby and the Penguins again, or how about the Sedin brothers in Vancouver?

Plus Randy Moss gets traded, the baseball playoffs have started, college football is cranking along and the NBA preseason has started, which means the hype surrounding the Heat just starts getting louder. Enjoy.

As for my NHL predictions, for me it is very much "chalk" with my picks. I think hockey fans get Sidney Crosby and the Penguins against Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals in the Eastern finals, while in the west, we get those Sedin brothers taking on Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and the Blackhawks. In the end, I think the Penguins once again lift the Cup in a great series against the Vancouver Canucks.

Soccer Fever - The SFB Podcast (6/26/2010)....

What I thought was going to be a quiet few days in the sports, ended up being quite the opposite. A three day Wimbledon match, an epic late goal to the US at the World Cup, another no-hitter in the majors, and the Stanley Cup champs get a makeover. Mike joins me to cover those topics plus a few others, including another July 1st free agent getting some "buzz".  Enjoy.

Blackhawks are Champs - The SFB Podcast (6/11/2010).....

Mike is happy because the Blackhawks are NHL Champions. Not because he roots for Chicago, but because he no longer has to look at the players' beards. There are a ton of sports headlines that could have "lead SportsCenter" this past week and Mike is here to discuss with me in this two part podcast. First we discuss John Wooden, Tom Izzo, the Blackhawks winning the Stanley Cup, USC's troubles and the NCAA conference swaps.  In part two we look at the World Cup, the NFL, the possible new name of the Jets/Giants stadium, and MLB news, including the great debut by Stephen Strasburg. Enjoy.

Almost Perfect - The SFB Podcast (6/3/2010).....

Armando Galarraga was perfect, but in the end he technically wasn't, as umpire Jim Joyce called Jason Donald safe, thus denying Galarraga the 21st perfect game in MLB history and setting off a firestorm of "baseball needs replay" chants from all corners of the sports universe. Also, many are calling for Commissioner Bud Selig to overturn the original safe call. Talk about over-reaction. I'll look at this, preview the Celtics / Lakers NBA Finals and look at the Blackhawks / Flyers series. Enjoy.

Memorial Day Weekend - The SFB Podcast (5/31/2010).....

After these last playoff rounds there is no debate in my mind as to who is currently the best NBA player. Plus much to cover on the holiday weekend as the Lakers finish off the Suns, The Indy 500 race is run, the NHL kicks off the Stanley Cup Finals with an extremely entertaining Game 1, and we have another pitcher throw a perfect game in the Major Leagues. Enjoy.

Celtics in NBA Finals - The SFB Podcast (5/29/2010).....

The Celtics put away the Magic to gain a spot in the NBA Finals and await the Suns / Lakers winner to see where they will travel to start the pursuit of their 18th NBA championship on Thursday night. Meanwhile, Game 5 hero, Ron Artest couldn't keep the good things going and got into a little trouble with his mouth and tardiness. Plus, I correct an error from yesterday's podcast and the NHL outdoor games and look ahead to tonight's Game 1 between the Flyers and Blackhawks. Enjoy.

NBA Playoffs & Stanley Cup Preview - The SFB Podcast (5/28/2010).....

The NHL Stanley Cup Finals start tomorrow night as the Philadelphia Flyers face the Chicago Blackhawks. It has been a while for both teams since they last sipped from the Cup. Will the Flyers keep this improbable playoff run going and win their first title since 1975 or will the Blackhawks bring the hardware back to Chicago for the first time since 1961?

Plus, what started out as a dull NBA Conference Championship round is now anything but, as both series head to pivital Games 6s after entertaining Game 5s. Enjoy.

Broad Street Champs - The SFB Podcast (5/25/2010).....

The Philadelphia Flyers took care of the Montreal Canadiens to win the Eastern Conference and now will face the Chicago Blackhawks for the Stanley Cup starting Saturday night in Chicago. Meanwhile in Boston, the Celtics lost their chance to sweep away the Orlando Magic by falling in overtime behind a great game from the Magic's Dwight Howard. Also, the Bulls might be courting Phil Jackson for a return to Chicago and John Fogerty makes the Hall of Fame. Enjoy.

The SportsFan Buzz Podcast (5/16/2010).....

It is NHL & NBA Playoff time and once again the NHL is proving it has the best playoffs in all of sports. Mike joins me to discuss those playoffs, plus a Super Bowl in New York, but maybe not the NFL Draft. Also, we check out the baseball season after 6 weeks. Enjoy.

NHL Playoff Preview - The SportsFan Buzz Podcast (4/15/2010).....

The best of all the playoffs in sports is about to start as sixteen NHL teams start their quest for the Stanley Cup. Neither of our favorite NHL teams have made the playoffs this year, but that will not keep Mike and I from previewing the Quest for the Cup.

Will Washington cap its President's Trophy season by also hoisting the Cup? Will Chicago wins its first Stanley Cup since 1961? Is it possible we will see Detroit and Pittsburgh go at it again for the third time in a row? It's time for "playoff beards" and the best two months in sports. Enjoy.
