NBA Free Agent Dominos - The SFB Podcast (7/6/2010).....

First big name NBA free agent to move to a new team is Amare Stoudemire. Well, that's a bit of a letdown and also an inflated contract for an overrated player. Does Amare's signing sway LeBron to join him in New York? Mike joins me to discuss this "free agent frenzy", the wonderful World Cup soccer, baseball's All-Star Game "snubs", and the loss of hockey tough guy, Bob Probert. Enjoy.

***EDIT*** When discussing the NHL free agent movement, we mentioned that Dan Hamhuis and Paul Martin signed with Pittsburgh. Hamhuis actually signed with Vancouver, while Zbynek Michalek joined Martin in signing with the Penguins.

Free Agent Frenzy - The SFB Podcast (7/2/2010).....

If you didn't hear there are a couple of big name NBA players that becaome free agents at midnight on July 1st. Could this have taken up more airtime / written space over the past week or so? I'll take a look at what I think might happen and what I think would be a NBA dream scenario. Also, a look a Phil Jackson's decision to coach one more year and an interesting take from Coach John Calipari about what his main job entails and would Kentucky fans agree. Also, the World Cup quarterfinals begin and the soccer just keeps getting better. Enjoy.

"Missed Opportunities" - The SFB Podcast (6/29/2010).....

So, when did US Soccer become like our other major sports and only look at results? Isn't US Soccer still in the "get better each time" stage? Seems like the US Soccer Federation President, Sunil Gulati, isn't sure about current coach Bob Bradley, because the team had a "missed opportunity" and "failed to meet expectations" according to Mr. Gulati. Really? I'm not "Mr. Futbal", but I think it would be a mistake to not give Bradley at least another four years through the next World Cup in 2014.

I'll give my thoughts about that news coming out of the US Soccer offices and other World Cup stories from the past few days, including the horrific referee calls so far this tournament. Plus our friend, Paul Lebowitz, gets mentioned by the Diamondback announcers, and a happy 50th birthday (one day late) to John Elway and a look at what "might have been" if he remained a Colt. Enjoy.

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.

Anyone want that US Open? - The SFB Podcast (6/22/2010).....

The US Open is supposed to be a tough golfing test, but watching all the leaders all go backwards was a bit of a disappointment as we saw the "US Open Sunday Pressure" take its toll on at the top of the leaderboard. Tiger, Ernie and Phil all had chances, but Graeme McDowell stood tall at the end of the day.

I'll look back at the Open, what is happening over in South Africa at the World Cup, and does the interleague baseball schedule seem longer than usual this year or am I just over the novelty? Plus a NFL player gets hurt playing flag football. Enjoy.

Lakers are the Champs - The SFB Podcast (6/18/2010).....

The Los Angeles Lakers are the NBA champions after a grueling Game 7 victory over the Boston Celtics. It was not a great game if you liked scoring, but was what championship games should come down to and that is tough, leave it all on the floor, hard playing. I'll look back at this rivalry series, as well as the US soccer team getting another draw, this time against Slovenia, and the US Open at Pebble Beach. Enjoy.

Texas saves the Big 12 (for now) - The SFB Podcast (6/15/2010).....

The collapse of the Big 12 was saved by one of their own when Texas decided to stay with the conference, but at what cost to the rest of the conference teams? Plus USC catches a little bit of a break by this news. Group stage World Cup games are taking place and the NBA season could end tonight in Los Angeles. Plus there sure are many unhappy football players early in June and the New York Jets' owner has to back off a prior promise. Enjoy.
