We have The Network Studios founder Mike Casentini and national headlining comedian Jason Lawhead filling in today for the lovely Melanie Baldonado and the Black Pedro as we discuss the latest news and notes in the NFL. How the Broncos held off the Patriots. How Carolina dominated the Arizona Cardinals. Can Cam win it all? Will Peyton make it happen one last time? The Cleveland Cavaliers have fired head coach David Blatt…why now? Is Golden State a shoe in for the NBA finals? After being injured nearly a month, Blake Griffin was due to return to the court any day now until he broke his hand punching a team equipment manager multiples while out a restaurant. He'll be out another 4-6 weeks.

This week's Sports Filet finds the team calling an audible; pulling Mike Casentini off the bench to fill in for our starting point guard, Melanie Baldonado. Speaking of point guards, who do you think is the NBA's G.O.A.T? ESPN recently put out lists of the top 10 NBA players of all time by position. Alexander, Mike and Black Pedro debate the top 5 at each position, and offer some passionate arguments for alternate lists. Isaiah Thomas at number 5?!!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!? Sorry, told you we get passionate. The NFL is getting closer and closer to prom night, and the team analyzes each of the remaining attendees, New England, Denver, Carolina, and Arizona, and their chances of being crowned kings of the dance. We also discuss the recent coaching changes around the league, and question why the Eagles didn't even give Hugh Jackson an interview. Seriously? BTW, did you see that tweet Magic Johnson sent out about the NFL playoffs? Good for you! Magic should be suspended from Twitter use indefinitely for this one! This and more on episode 18 of Sports Filet…It's Better Than Beef!

The St. Louis Rams are now officially The Los Angeles Rams. Cheers! Will the Chargers will also be coming to L.A.? NBA All-Star voting- is it a joke, as John Wall says, and has anyone campaigned better than Andre Drummond? Minnesota loses, and one fan's wife catches him in mourning. We send congrats to a vasectomized Antonio Cromartie, who is expecting twins, making him a father of 12, and have a throwback moment to when he had a hard time recalling all of the names of kids 1-7. A Vontaze Burflict late hit on Antonio Brown costs his team the season, Brown a concussion, and Burflict a three game suspension. Instead of making our picks for this week's NFL playoff games, we talk about Tom Brady's agent Donald Yee's Washington Post Article telling Alabama and Clemson players to boycott the National Championship game. Should student-athletes be paid? Is the NCAA structure based on racism and slavery? Strong feelings about this and more on this week's edition of Sports Filet.

Today on Sports Filet, we discuss the NFL playoff match-ups, coaching changes, Dexter Manley comments and will Los Angeles get a team? We also touch on the NCAA, and the football championship, Alabama vs. Clemson. Who's are pick? There's been a bit of discussion in the fight community relating to boxing champ, Mayweather and UFC champ, McGregor, find out what and how we feel about it. Also, the NBA and how Golden State is running a clinic. We close the show with MLB Hall of Fame inductees.

Mike Casentini, co-host of "Black & White With You & Me" steps in for a vacationing Black Pedro just long enough to bring his own version of romance into the podcast studio. We talk about the firing of the Eagles' head coach, Chip Kelly; Jerry Sandusky getting his pension and back pay in prison; and whether it's moral or productive for activists to ask Lebron James to sit out of the game of basketball in the wake of the Tamir Rice grand jury decision. Mike Casentini fills us in on the details of the case, and the sports show gets into a heated talk about the power of activism. The Matt Bush signing gives us another reason to being light-skinned in America has it's privileges, and somehow, Michael Jordan finds his way back into a conversation that was meant to be about Kobe, thus making Skinny a happy man. Oh, and boxing! Finally, the football player who doesn't believe in Dinosaurs ignites Melanie to go on a religion diatribe.

On this week's "Sports Filet" Melanie, Skinny and Black Pedro start off with recognition of Serena Williams as SI's sportsperson of the year and all her ASSets that have gotten her this far. The episode really gets going when we get into a concussion discussion regarding recent assertions that kids should not play contact sports like football until they are 18 and their brains fully developed. Former players like Rod Woodson have a serious problem with this, and it leads us into a heated debate. We also discuss Rajon Rondo's bigoted outburst on the court towards a ref who is actually gay. And finally, a discussion about Pete Rose and his viability as a HOF candidate. Will he ever be forgiven…don't bet on it! This and more on "Sports Filet…It's Better Than Beef!"

Tyson Fury is stripped of his belt! Jahlil Okafor fights normal sized human beings!! Who will lose first, the Carolina Panthers or the Golden State Warriors? Lebron to make $1 billion with Nike? College football playoffs are locked…who will win? Dusty Baker gets racial with the media. This and more on Sports Filet!

In this debate filled episode, Skinny came out ready to fight without Melanie before introductions were made. The team covered a lot of Kobe Bryant- loved, hated, accepted, our feelings and player responses. Will he have a similar honor filled send-off to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's and Magic Johnson's? Was Kobe Bryant a Michael Jordan knock-off? We also talked changes with the Dodgers, and the big off season winner in the David Price bidding war. Coaching changes in the NCAA, an assistant coach we would love to see in the head coaching position, and Melanie's happiness for the Les Miles' "decision," and a reason a head coach will be fired became another hotly debated topic. The Wladimir Klitschko and Tyson Fury fight is debated, along with the question of a rematch, will it happen and when? In true rebel fashion, Skinny is the only one not to have seen the Creed movie- was it a knock-out, or a total miss? Black Pedro is Melanie's friend. This week and more on Sports Filet.

We talk about to the historical start to the NBA season for the Golden State Warriors! How many will they win? Who can beat them?!? Floyd Mayweather insinuates that Freddie Roach isnt the great trainer that he's touted to be! True or False? We've take a look at the rankings of the top 4 teams in college football. Can Iowa hold on? Will Michigan find a way in?!? Lebron James walks off the court, quickie advice in fantasy football, and can Skinny go double or nothing on his car washing with Black Pedro.
