    An NBA GM says he wishes his star player would have “kept his mouth shut” before the playoff series began / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe)

    -Miami Heat GM Pat Riley is an NBA legend as a coach and executive, and has been with the Heat organization since 1995. In his season-ending press conference yesterday, he said he wishes Jimmy Butler would have kept his mouth shut instead of popping off ahead of the Heat/Celtics series
    -Boston won the series in 5 games and Butler didn’t play at all with injury; Riley said you shouldn’t talk if you’re not playing. Tough love!

    All ABOARD the 2024 Hype Train for Nebraska Football: FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt has the Huskers at No. 22 in his post-Spring rankings

    All ABOARD the 2024 Hype Train for Nebraska Football: FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt has the Huskers at No. 22 in his post-Spring rankings

    -What do we know about Sip---he loves lists and he loves rankings---so Way-Too-Early lists are a thing of beauty, especially when they provide positivity
    -FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt put the Huskers at No. 22---just behind Arizona and just ahead of Kansas---in his rankings heading into the summer. The schedule is gettable but it’s still (likely) a true freshman starting QB on a team that hasn’t made a bowl game since 2016
    -Is a lot of this the past success that Matt Rhule has had in Year 2 of his college football programs?

Rise and Shine

Early Break is like listening to 3 guys that have been together for a lifetime. They obviously take their jobs very seriously (they are VERY knowledgeable and informative), but they don’t take themselves very seriously (they literally make me laugh out loud at least once each episode). Early break is the best radio show/podcast in Nebraska by far. Sipp and Jake clearly “get” each other and are very synergistic. As great of a coach Bill was, I think he’s and even better radio personality. The Jake, Sipp, and Busch show will be around for a LONG time and should plan on a road show/tour with live performances.

Podcast

Please fix the playback volume on the podcast. Also, ads play right in the middle of conversations which is absolutely ridiculous. Great show!

listening every day ,

Great show

My only complaint is I am forced to listen to podcast because where I live and my job and on certain days I am missing quite a few segments and the segments come in all different order. is there any way to do number them?
