Caitlin Clark Soars While Fever Flop | NBA Playoff Breakdowns| NHL Playoff Breakdowns
Hey sports fans, buckle up for a jam-packed edition covering the latest on the Rangers' playoff run, Caitlin Clark and the struggling Fever, competitive eating's GOAT Kobayashi retiring, and more! We dive into the physicality displayed in the NHL playoffs and how it impacts games and series outcomes. The hard-hitting Panthers brought the smoke in game 1 versus the Rangers - can NYR adjust and match their intensity? Our resident NBA expert, Ryan, joins us to discuss the surprising Pacers and how they dominated the Cavs. We also discuss rising WNBA star Caitlin Clark and why her Fever sits winless through 4 games. What must change? In a shock move, competitive eating legend Takeru Kobayashi has retired! We debate competitive eating's merit as a sport and pay homage to the G.O.A.T. Joey Chestnut. Love it or hate it, there's no denying Chestnut's greatness. Plenty of rapid-fire takes on boxing, MLB, and NCAA rule changes. This podcast delivers an authentic, unfiltered conversation about sports from diehard fans if you want it. Hit subscribe and buckle in!
