    Episode 63: Failed Drug Tests

    Episode 63: Failed Drug Tests

    Welcome to the Fever Pitch Podcast with co-hosts Brian and Dan, where we bring you the hottest topics and latest news in the sports world. Here's what's going on right now:



    Boxing sensation Ryan Garcia has tested positive for PEDs and also missed weight. Both his A-sample and B-sample have confirmed the presence of banned substances, leading Garcia to threaten quitting boxing. He tweeted, "One day I will box again," leaving fans to wonder how this will impact his legacy. Recently, Garcia received the "Spirit of Fighting Award," but this controversy casts a shadow over his achievements.



    In a shocking revelation, Devin Haney has been illegally rehydrating over 18% of his fighting weight since winning the 135 WBC belt. The California State Athletic Commission claims all his subsequent fights should have been canceled. Haney pitches to substitute for Mike Tyson in the upcoming Jake Paul fight and has advocated for a rematch with Garcia, which Haney opposes. Additionally, a Usyk-Fury rematch is slated for December 21, 2024.



    The NCAA has reached a multi-billion dollar settlement allowing schools to pay players, marking a significant shift in college athletics.



    In the NFL, kicker Harrison Butker is making headlines, while CeeDee Lamb plans to reset the market after Ja'Marr Chase gets his deal, similar to how Lamar Jackson followed Jalen Hurts. We compare rookie deals, from Sam Bradford to the highest and lowest paid rookies, and discuss how the structure of rookie deals has evolved over time.



    We also provide our over/under win predictions for the NFC North. Brandon Aiyuk, who wants Tyreek Hill money, is skipping OTAs. We quickly touch on draft bust John Ross and the NFL's plans to potentially hold a regular season game in Australia. The league is also testing an optical tracking system for line-to-gain rulings in the preseason, aiming for 2024 implementation. Lastly, Marcus Mariota is making history by wearing the number 0 in Washington.

    Episode 62: Glass Cannon

    Episode 62: Glass Cannon

    Welcome to the Fever Pitch Podcast with co-hosts Brian and Dan, where we dive into the latest and most thrilling updates from the sports world. Here's what's going on right now:



    In a shocking turn of events, Usyk has stunned Tyson Fury, defeating him to unify the WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight belts in Saudi Arabia. However, Usyk’s reign might be short-lived as one of the sport's governing bodies is likely to strip away a title soon.



    In gaming news, EA Sports has released an exciting trailer for their upcoming College Football game, generating major buzz among fans.



    Turning to the NFL, we break down the 2024 schedule for all 32 teams, highlighting one good and one bad thing every team will face this season. We discuss the Falcons, Chiefs, and delve into why the league seems to favor the Bears and Bengals this year. We also touch on Drake Maye’s unfortunate circumstances, Micah Parsons leading Bleacher Report Gridiron, and Devante Parker's brief stint with the Eagles before retiring. Additionally, we address rumors, including Dan Quinn’s slip-up calling the Commanders the Redskins, Tee Higgins’ franchise tender situation with the Bengals, and Justin Jefferson’s absence from OTAs.



    Our hot takes are sizzling this week: We argue that the Celtics have the easiest route to the NBA Finals due to a hobbled and less competitive Eastern Conference but predict they’ll still fall short. We also boldly claim the Cowboys will win fewer games than the Bears next season.



    On the cold facts side, Anthony Edwards joins LeBron and Kobe in averaging over 30 points in his first 10 postseason games, solidifying his status as the next face of the NBA. We highlight that the only QB drafted by the Broncos to win a playoff game for them is Tim Tebow and that the Pacers have historically made the conference finals and lost in years ending in "4" – could 2024 be different?



    In NBA playoffs action, the Mavericks closed out OKC with Kyrie Irving maintaining his perfect 14-0 record in closeout games. A late foul by Shai led to crucial free throws to end the series. The Pacers defeated a hobbled Knicks team, while the Timberwolves pulled an upset against the Nuggets despite Jokic and Murray combining for 69 points. Key performances by KAT, McDaniels, Naz Reid, and Anthony Edwards were pivotal. Meanwhile, the Celtics steamrolled the Cavs (4-1) with Donovan Mitchell growing frustrated over some Cavs’ lack of maturity.



    As we look ahead, we offer our NBA Finals predictions and debate the outcomes of these exciting matchups.



    Join Brian and Dan on the Fever Pitch Podcast for all this and more as we break down the latest in sports news and events.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs have secured Travis Kelce with a new 2-year, $34.25M contract, and former LSU teammates Jayden Daniels and Malik Nabers have placed a big bet on the Offensive Rookie of the Year. OBJ has signed with the Dolphins, and despite recent rumors, Saquon Barkley never received an offer from the Giants. In a surprising move, Ezekiel Elliott returns to the Cowboys, and there’s speculation that Aaron Donald might come out of retirement for the playoffs next year.

The Pacers stunned the Bucks, Joel Embiid played aggressively but the Knicks had the last laugh, and the Mavericks beat the Clippers 4-2. We discuss how the series will end for the Cavaliers and Magic, who are tied 3-3, and highlight that Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are the youngest duo in NBA history to each score 25+ points in an elimination game. The Thunder swept the Pelicans and are expected to face the Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals. The Suns were swept by the Timberwolves, raising questions about Kevin Durant’s legacy and whether Devin Booker is a playoff choke artist. The Celtics beat the Heat 4-1, potentially taking the easiest route to the Eastern Conference Finals, while the Nuggets handled the Lakers, prompting speculation about the end of LeBron James’ career.
