    College Football Cluster, NBA Strikes Gold, Shohei Dances with the Dodgers

    In this free-wheeling episode, the fellas talk Erik’s life as a new Dad, Ezra’s recollection of the bygone era of late-night AM SportsTalk Radio, Joe’s questionable nutrition choices in high school, and the frightening potential of a newborn baby with the mental acuity of an 18-year old. Then we talk how FSU got completely screwed by the playoff system, but would we have done it differently if we were the committee? Sponsor read ensues with an important message on cashing your checks, we check in on the NFL playoff picture, and ponder whether the Chiefs or Eagles are more likely to return to the Super Bowl. Then, NBA in-season tournament chatter follows, where the guys debate whether it’s been a success or not and what could make it better for next year, we pick the official High Jinx NBA team of the tournament, talk Mark Cuban’s sale of the Mavericks, pick the High Jinx and Low Jinx games of the week in the NFL during Unnecessary Bets, and close the show with Crystal Ball, where we talk MLB hot stove, Division II (now FCS) college football playoffs, and pick Shohei Ohtani’s next destination. --  00:00: Theme Song & Intro Talk 08:00: College Football Playoff: Did FSU get screwed? 15:00: Predicting college football playoff winners 20:15: Sponsor Read: Chuck’s Check Cashing Palace Extraordinaire 23:00: NFL playoff picture update 33:15: NBA In-Season Tournament 42:30: Mark Cuban Sells the Mavericks?

    HJ #76: Pro Sports Equinox NBA NFL Spectacular

    We return just in time for the celebrated “pro sports equinox", that special sliver of the year when the big four pro sports leagues are all in action simultaneously. These last few weeks demonstrated some parity in the NFL, with all of the major contenders for the Superbowl suffering some puzzling losses. KC struggles in the high altitude of Denver. Was it Taylor Swift’s fault for not showing up? (Heresy!) The Niners are in the midst of a 3-game skid, and their bye week couldn’t come fast enough. With a puzzling loss to the Jets, a dismantling of Miami, and a squeaker over Washington, Philly needs to pick a lane. In baseball, chaos reigns as the World Series features a match-up of two wildcard teams. Texas looks to finish off Arizona to earn its first ever title, and Corey Seager seems on pace for his second World Series MVP. And, finally, the NBA season is off and running. Chef Curry is showing zero signs of aging, Wemby worked a little magic with a crazy 20-point rally to knock off Kevin Durant’s Suns this week, and the Harden experiment is finally over in Philly. -- 00:00: Theme Song & Intro 00:30: Joe is in a weird place with the pro sports equinox 06:45: Erik "Stone Cold Sports Recap Man" 09:15: James Harden Trade Grades 22:45: World Series Check-in: why is there no national juice for these games? 30:28: Sponsor Read: Couch Potato's Yellows 31:15: Unnecessary Bets of the Week: Picking the 14-team Exacto of NFL Playoff Teams 51:49: Crystal Ball –- Twitter: @highjinxsports Facebook: High Jinx Sports Show Inquiries/Suggestions/Anecdotes/Ideas: highjinxsports@gmail.com
