Matt Dolloff and Ty Anderson are back with another full episode. Now that all the sports are back in full swing, they can finally focus mainly on sports. The guys start off with their thoughts on the NHL and NBA broadcasts and how they've done so far, as opposed to the disaster that is Major League Baseball (2:54). The Bruins get back to work on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning, so the guys preview the game with a look at how both teams have changed since the last time they clashed in the playoffs and their expectations for the B's (13:04). Derek Jeter called for sympathy for the Marlins players who went out and caused a COVID outbreak, and Matt is having none of it (34:53).

 

The guys switch gears to the Patriots, who had a lot of guys opt out of the season. How concerned are they about the depth at linebacker and safety without Dont'a Hightower and Patrick Chung? (40:05) After things go off the rails for a minute they get back to the Bruins and the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and their observations on other teams. They also get into Tuukka Rask, and why Tuukka was in a lose-lose situation the second he started coughing (50:26). As Matt & Ty tend to do as lifelong hockey fans, they reminisce on some of their favorite logos, classic players, and aspects of the game (1:02:00). Finally, they give their predictions for Bruins-Lightning (1:07:07).

 

Matt & Ty will be back Wednesday night after the Bruins face Tampa Bay with their instant postgame reactions. And be sure to listen to the Sports Hub Sidelines every week here at 985TheSportsHub.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

Matt Dolloff and Ty Anderson have a bonus episode after the Boston Bruins lost to the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 in the first game of the round-robin portion of the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The guys discuss a concerning game for the Bruins' top line, the team's inconsistency from period to period, and the performance of Jaroslav Halak in goal as well as the guys in front of him. Plus: How do they feel about the Bruins' chances of winning back-to-back games against Tampa and Washington to hold on to the No. 1 seed?

Matt Dolloff and Ty Anderson are back together after each of them took a week off. They get into their "mental health breaks" and the improvements they've made working on themselves. The guys then get into the latest with the Patriots and their players who have decided to opt out of the 2020 season (5:57).

Matt Dolloff and Ty Anderson are back for another week on the Sidelines. First the guys recap the latest coronavirus figures in Mass. compared to the rest of the country - and Japan - before talking about the fascination with retro tech (7:24). Some solid movie talk with plenty more references to check off your list (11:22). Patrick Mahomes is at the top of their minds after signing the richest contract in sports history. While Mahomes is worth the money and the Chiefs didn't have much of a choice, it's long been proven that paying your quarterback at the top of the market rarely leads to multiple championships - or a "dynasty," as the Chiefs want (15:48). Cam Newton is already poring over the Patriots' playbook. Matt & Ty discuss the potential of the Patriots offense with Newton at quarterback, complete with win-loss predictions (36:41). The Patriots do have a tough schedule in 2020, but will it hurt them or will they make it look easy? (50:05) And the guys wrap up with the latest in the NHL, and why the league may be doing the best job with its return plan out of the four major sports (57:19).

Matt Dolloff and Ty Anderson are back for another episode, and finally they have some tangible sports news that isn't related to COVID-19. They begin by addressing the "fun police" that are Felger & Mazz, who complained about Cam Newton's excessive celebrating. Then they get into the Newton signing itself, the risks involved, and the potential rewards. (3:55) However they couldn't go without addressing the latest with coronavirus in sports. How will media coverage of the NFL season be affected? What happens if a major star decides to back out of playing? And now that Massachusetts had zero COVID-19 deaths this week, will the state actually come out of this looking better than most? (24:36) Netflix is releasing a lot of documentaries about evil people, but that's nothing new to Matt. The guys get into the revival of Unsolved Mysteries, movies and characters that genuinely scared them, and movies from the 21st century that would qualify as "classics" alongside The Godfather and other great films. Not The Room, though. (49:57)
