0 comments In Which I Return To Podcast

It's been a while, but Ben invited me back for some podcasting. Take a listen below.

Don't worry, the podcast is back. Take a listen as we discuss Big Ben's recent marriage, the NFL Lockout's resolution and the Carolina Panthers. Not to mention a host of other topics that were at the whim of our non-focused minds.

Something doesn't feel right about posting a podcast on a Monday. Then again, we had one of our more interesting discussions to date. The reason? John Steigerwald, the man who seemed to blame Bryan Stow for the beating he took at the hands of crazy Dodgers' fans, emailed Bengoodfella in response to BGF's breakdown of his article.

Other topics include the brand of Skip Bayless, the lack of a comments feature on Grantland and the Knicks' lack of trade assets.

Take a listen as we welcome Bill Simmons back to the sports writing world through our discussion of Grantland, its future, and its overall success thus far. And of course, the run of the mill Game 6 discussion.

As you listen, you may notice that I thought it was the 15th podcast. Turns out we're better at churning these out than we thought. Anyway, this week's discussion covers the NBA Finals, Buster Posey's broken leg, Kevin McHale, tweeting during games and the Scottie Pippen question: Is LeBron better than MJ?

More importantly, there's new fade out music! I'm not really sure why I changed it up, but it's just feeling like that kind of day.

I know that I've been around for only a few months, but I am the proud co-author of Bottom of the Barrel's 900th post. Take a listen as we discuss:

1. ESPN's recent flurry of domestic violence cases

2. The Seattle Seahawks

3. The NBA Playoffs.

4. What NHL stand for?

5. Pedophiles. Just kidding on the last one. Maybe.

Do you dislike Terry Francona? Are you a fan of the NBA Playoffs? Do you want to know why Shin-Soo Choo's DUI was the dumbest arrest in the history of mankind? Hit the play button below and all your deepest desires shall be fulfilled.

0 comments BotB Podcast #12 - NBA Playoffs Edition

Take a listen as BGF and I discuss the NBA Playoffs and enjoy a quick tangent that covers everything from pedophiles to beer.

0 comments BotB Podcast #11 - NL Preview

Take a listen as Bengoodfella and I discuss the National League and make what will probably be incorrect predictions.

2 comments BotB Podcast #10 - AL Preview

Bengoodfella here...I need to clear something up before we get to the BotB podcast. A while back one of my Murray Chass posts got linked by a commenter on NBCSports.com. It was this post. I thought that was pretty cool and I appreciated that since I really like that post I did about Chass. In the post about Chass I did one of my "skits" where I mocked the way Chass chose his Hall of Fame ballot and wrote the following mocking Chass' decision process:

(Murray Chass) “His name is Edgar but he doesn’t look like a Mexican like all those Mexicans playing baseball look today. This is difficult to decide…is he a Mexican, Latino, Puerto Rican or just has an ethnic name? Either way it is a “no” for him, that’s easy to decide, but this is tough to decide his actual ethnicity.”

As things like this happen, Chass has essentially called Stan Musial a racist now, and so the well-meaning commenter who linked my post in the NBCSports.com comments took the above quote out and quoted it in the comments as further proof Chass is racist. I made up that quote in an attempt to entertain the readers and it is NOT a quote that Murray Chass ever said. As a rule for this blog, if it isn't in bold black then it isn't a quote from an article. I still appreciate the plug from the commenter. We are getting traffic from NBCSports.com and I don't want anyone to think I am making up quotes to make Murray Chass sound like a racist.

And now to the podcast and Dylan.

With the MLB season upon us, we have decided to do a two part preview podcast, with the AL segment below. Take a listen and let us know how you feel about our soon-to-be-proven-correct predictions.

2 comments BotB Podcast #9

In this week's podcast, Ben and I somewhat break down/analyze/make tangentially related comments about all the deadlines deals. Cam Newton and the NFL Draft also make their appearance. We'd also like to apologize for not discussing mascots as we promised at the end of last week's podcast. Not that anyone wanted to hear that discussion, but I'm going to apologize nonetheless.

0 comments BotB Podcast #6

In this week's edition, BGF and I discuss quite a few topics, most of which were unplanned. College basketball and football recruiting, twitter, some more Melo and a host of other random gems that I cannot remember make their way into our weekly ramblings.

It's Baseball HoF time again. In this week's episode we are creating the greatest 9 man baseball roster ever to be assembled because the HoF has yet to do so.

0 comments BotB Podcast #4

3 weeks in a row. A new world record, some would say. This week our talents take us to the world of John Calipari's potty mouth, Carmelo Anthony and Mikhail Prokhorov's egos, and the current hot BotB topic, the Baseball Hall of Fame.

3 comments BotB Podcast #3

It's that time again. This week's episode covers the Carmelo saga, Aaron Rodgers' and Jay Cutler's girlfriends and social lives, college basketball and some other random nuggets.

It is our sincerest hope that we'll be back again next week for a third week in a row! Impressive, I know. Maybe we say "like," "ya know" and "uh" way too much, but at least we get an A+ for effort.

And we're back. Sometimes it's nice to exercise the vocal chords, so BGF and I thought we'd do just that again. We're going to make every attempt to turn this into a weekly event, but recent history has demonstrated our consistent failure at accomplishing such a task.

In today's episode, we discuss Andrew Luck, the Seattle Seahawks, the recent coaching hirings/firings and other random tagents and tirades unique to BotB's writing cast. Enjoy, kind folk.

Since you obviously cannot get enough of Bengoodfella or myself writing, we thought we'd change it up and throw a podcast your way. Take a listen as we discuss the recent MLB free agent contracts and the upcoming NFL Weekend. Please also note that we were unjustly screwed by a Tennessee two point loss in our picks.
