The Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei Listen Frederick

As we work towards summer at a fast and furious pace our show finds itself at a crossroads of sports. Playoff basketball and hockey are in full swing, baseball has reached the quarter point and we are well underway with the golf majors and football mini camps. Sometimes I think I am swimming with all the stuff I have to preoccupy myself from the craziness of the real world. 
Tonight's episode is going to talk about who has been standing out and who has been disappointing in these NBA and NHL playoffs. We are going to put together a list of some of the current best club swingers, baseball’s contenders and pretenders as well as who has stood out in some football mini camps. As always we love your input and thoughts to see if you agree or think we are whack!

Everyone thinks they know what every team is going to do year in and year out in the NFL draft. Mel Kiper Jr hasn’t hit on a draft pick ever I don’t think. Some people do multiple mock’s and still don’t get it right. Today the Crew and I will take our own shot the first round and how we think it will fall. Chops will do some commentary to add a little zest to the mix. Enjoy and see if you agree with our picks. Honestly though, it’s not like we care, psych…

Welcome everyone to our first show of season 5 of the OSP. When I started doing this in March 2020 I never thought for a second I would still be going in 2024 but here I am. There have been revisions, changes and gaps along the way but I feel like I’ve finally settled into a good place with it. Thank you to my Barbershop Crew: Rashene, Terry, Neub, Mikey, Schmitty and Kwatt for being an active part in so many shows along with other support. I want to recognize Let’Talk Sports Network, Sideline Sports Network, Manning Media and our newest network that we’ve been picked up by Elite Sports and Entertainment Network and we are a part of the South Florida Tribune conglomerate of shows through affiliation. Our show is anywhere you listen to podcasts, on all of the aforementioned networks, YouTube channels and you can now find us on Roku TV every Tuesday night from 9-10pm.
