    Episode 400- “The Sorsby Controversy, The NCAA Under Fire, KAT Championship Moment”

    In this special edition of The Ride, originally recorded live on A-Train Sports Talk via Riverside, Anthony Smith dives into one of the biggest controversies in college football and one of the biggest storylines in the NBA Finals. First, Anthony examines the fallout surrounding Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby after a court ruling allowed him to play despite NCAA gambling-related sanctions. Why are coaches and athletic directors across the country upset? Is the NCAA losing control of college athletics? And what message does this ruling send to athletes who have faced similar penalties in the past? Then, Anthony shifts to the NBA Finals where the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs are battling for a championship. With Victor Wembanyama forcing major defensive adjustments, can Karl-Anthony Towns rise to the occasion and deliver when the Knicks need him most? Join Anthony for insightful analysis, strong commentary, and thought-provoking discussion on the stories shaping the sports world. Topics Include: • Brendan Sorsby controversy • NCAA authority and gambling violations • Texas Tech fallout • College football integrity concerns • Karl-Anthony Towns under pressure • Victor Wembanyama's impact on the Finals • New York Knicks vs. San Antonio Spurs • Anthony's "In The Zone" commentary Subscribe, follow, and share The Ride and A-Train Sports Talk wherever you listen to podcasts.

    Dilemma In Cleveland

    Shedeur Sanders in his first start led the Browns to a 24-10 victory over the Raiders becoming the first Browns QB since 1995 to win his debut start. Final Stats: 11/20, 29 yards, one TD, one INT. Also worth noting he took only one sack. Key Plays: He completed a 66-yard catch-and-run to RB Dylan Sampson in the 4th quarter. He completed a 52-yard pass to Isaiah Bond, which set up a rushing touchdown. He also had a 33-yard completion to Jerry Jeudy, which resulted in a fumble. It's worth noting while his stat line was modest, he generally avoided the big mistakes and helped the offense generate big plays and the defense did the rest with 10 sacks
