From 01/23 Hour 4:

Hue Jackson joins The Sports Junkies to break down the two conference championship games this weekend.

Love that #jaelenphillips is mentoring incarcerated youth at the #browardcounty juvenile detention center. Their futures aren’t defined yet.  He’s working with the #verbkind a community outreach program headed by #haleyhunt which Philips wants to continue with the kids once they’re released.
  #joelembiid may not get MVP but could fuel a long playoff run.  But the Beard is going to have to step up.  
@warriors starting their own entertainment division. Up 2-0 on @nuggets and @stephencurry30 had 34 off bench last night.  #jordanpoole had 29.
  No @lukadoncic no problem.  FA to be #jalenbrunson had career high 41 to tie series with @utahjazz 1-1.  
@lululemon made #jrsmith an ambassador.  He’s playing #golf at @ncatsuaggies and wants to make the sport more accessible to underrepresented #minority players. Props to him.  
@clevelandbrowns made #denzelward the highest paid #cornerback in the @nfl but as we all know, not for long.
  #alexovechkin got his 48th goal last night for @capitals in win over @coloradoavalanche not bad for a 36 year old.  
Freddie Freeman first HR as a Dodger in his first at bat vs his former team the Braves. Can’t write a better script.

Ken and Lima review the recent QB draft classes. What is lazy food? Another day of Hue Jackson being awful. Art Briles resigns at Grambling State as it's offensive coordinator after just four days. 

Check out the entire podcast below and tune in live on Tuesdays and Thursdays immediately following the Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima for live editions of the show on the 92.3 The Fan XTRA stream.

Mike Florio and Mike Golic discuss the Dolphins plan to pursue Sean Payton and Tom Brady that fell through after the Brian Flores lawsuit. They also react to Kyler Murray's contract proposal to the Cardinals that asks them to speak with actions, not words. Plus, they make their picks on what teams Aaron Rodgers, Jameis Winston, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Russell Wilson will end up on next season. 

On the first day of Black History Month, former Miami Dolphins Head Coach Brian Flores decided to fight back against the NFL's white supremacy power structure and anti-black head coach hiring practices. On February 1, 2022, Flores filed a class-action lawsuit against three teams and the league. This critical and courageous move by Brian Flores to stand up for himself and other Black and non-white Coaches will hopefully have a lasting impact for years to come.

To discuss this, Miguel is joined on the podcast by Dr. Louis Moore (@loumoore12), Professor of History at Grand Valley State University. He teaches African American History, Civil Rights, Sports History, and US History. He is also the co-host of The Black Athlete Podcast with Derrick White. Follow the podcast on Twitter: @blackathletepod.

First, Miguel asked Dr. Moore about the history of racism towards Black Head Coaches in the NFL; and Dr. Moore highlights former NFL WR Lionel Taylor, who he dubs the original Eric Bieniemy and Byron Leftwich.

Next, Miguel and Dr. Moore give their thoughts on the impact of Brian Flores's lawsuit and if the Rooney Rule is just a sham to check a box for the White NFL owners. Additionally, in his lawsuit (and we believe him), Brian Flores alleges that Miami Dolphins owner Stephan Ross offered to pay Flores $100,000 if he "tanked" games. To close the segment, Miguel asked Dr. Moore if the NFL would force Stephen Ross to sell the Dolphins and ban Ross from the NFL?

Episode 32's Molotov MVP is Chinese American Freestyle Skiing superstar Eileen Gu (Gu Ailing). In addition, Miguel highlights Cincinnati Bengals Hall of Fame Left Tackle Anthony Munoz for Chicano Sports History.

On February 7, 2022, Gu won the first Olympic Gold Medal in Women Freestyle Skiing history. However, Gu is competing for China instead of the US. As a result, she has been harassed and called a traitor by racists and the US corporate media. As Eileen Gu said, racists can "Go cry ab it."

Love the new Kobe Bryant All Star Game MVP trophy.  
MLB wants to bring in Federal mediator.  In 1994 led to cancelling of World Series. 
Jim Harbaugh staying at  Michigan.  Is he going to do this again next year if the NFL calls again?  I wouldn’t be happy if I was thinking of going to Michigan.

What a week - some banger games and some massive news!

Tom Brady has officially retired after 22 years of kicking the league's ass and becoming the GOAT, while Big Ben has also officially retired ending the career of the only Pittsburgh QB that Tom has ever known (that one year of Rudolph and one game of Charlie Batch don't count).

Then there's the two Championship games, a Superbowl to look forward to and some breaking news with Brian Flores suing the NFL, the Giants, Dolphins and Broncos. It's an absolute bumper week so come join us and listen as we break it all down (well not the Flores news just yet that's still developing!)

Brian Flores lawsuit is warranted.  Just wants an even playing field.  
Nets lost 5th straight to the Suns last night.  
SB LVI.  Agree with Ochocinco  Do you see those ticket prices? 
The Washington Commanders.  Name sucks.

After explaining why he was drawn to Michigan defensive end Kwity Paye as the subject of a pre-draft profile, Tafur breaks down the logic (or lack thereof) behind the Raiders’ offseason moves and assesses the state of the relationship between head coach Jon Gruden and quarterback Derek Carr. Vic then recalls the fateful Daily Cal sports recruitment meeting where he got his first journalism assignment--and the first of many acerbic comments from his exceptionally loud sports editor. We learn about Mike’s introduction to rap music (and the over-the-top article it provoked), how neither he nor Vic have it in them to enjoy the Pac-12’s recent run of hoops success and why Natalie’s youth soccer experiences make her a kindred spirit. Vic shares the backstory behind his exclusive story on then-Raiders receiver Nelson Agholor’s “You suck” speech to his teammates last December, and the charged phone conversation with Agholor that followed. And if you’re still with us toward the end of the episode, you’ll be treated to Vic’s recounting of his infamous Twitter feud with a veteran NFL writer, complete with the obligatory reference to a popular adult-video internet site.

In the same manner in which they offended guests at the Indianapolis J.W. Marriott nine Super Bowl Saturdays ago (as detailed in the story that kicks off this episode), FOX’s Charissa, ESPN’s Jeff and NFL Network’s Mike air some of their dirty laundry--quite literally, in one of their cases. With Natalie sucked into the jetstream (not literally), they detail their various feuds, explain how much ended up in the concussion protocol before Super Bowl XLV and talk about the origin of the iconic Super Bowl party they co-host annually, pandemic-impacted-years excepted. They also speak of pink pussy hats and bone-colored pants. You heard me.

Why did Mike get banned (repeatedly) by the Raiders--and why does Amy view it as a sign of Al’s respect? What did Amy scream at the NFL’s supervisor of officials during the infamous “Tuck Rule” replay review in the 2001 playoffs? What did Amy’s sixth grade teacher tell her mother about her intellect, or lack thereof? Did Mike or Amy terrorize Paul Revere Jr. High teachers more? Will any of these three Cal alums live long enough to see the Golden Bears play in the Rose Bowl? Why did the Raiders perpetually “abstain” in league votes, and how did Amy get Al to change the policy? Which Raiders victory brought Amy AND Mike to tears? We have answers. You won’t be disappointed.

 In the process of becoming high-profile NFL Network personalities, Cynthia Frelund and Taylor Bisciotti have been objectified and stigmatized--and offered money for photos of their feet. Yet the close friends and accomplished journalists are football nerds at heart, and in this spirited and expansive conversation, they break down some of the NFL’s most compelling topics. From Lamar Jackson’s breakthrough to Sam Darnold’s future to their picks for Super Bowl LV, Frelund and Bisciotti talk ball and showcase their collectively prodigious brainpower.

Lindsay explains to a pair of Cal alums (who wanted her to stay in Berkeley forever) why she became the first head coach of a Power Five women’s program to bolt for the NBA, pinpointing the moment she first viewed such a move as more than a pipe dream and its potential impact on future generations. She looks back on Cal’s breathtaking run to the 2013 Final Four (and the emotional assists the Golden Bears got from Kobe Bryant and President Obama), her tumultuous but fulfilling first year with the Cleveland Cavaliers and why a photo of Rockets star James Harden holding her young son left her feeling less than celebratory. We also learn what it’s like to be Mike Silver’s friend in a city that hates him, how Mike blew his chance to attend the same Ivy League school as Lindsay, and why Natalie got red-carded during a soccer tournament championship game on Mike’s birthday.

As America confronts a crisis in democracy he likens to a “five-alarm fire,” Smith--an Emmy-winning producer (The Rachel Maddow Show, NFL Films) who now specializes in national affairs and culture for Rolling Stone--tells us what’s on the line in this election, and why it’s only the beginning of the healing process. From profiling Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris to grilling Ice Cube about sitting down with the Trump campaign to craft the “Platinum Plan,” Smith has been at the forefront of the current election cycle and covers a lot of ground. He weighs in Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court confirmation, Jared Kushner’s absurd denigration of Black Americans and Baker Mayfield’s breakout performance for his beloved Cleveland Browns.

Many of Mike’s Twitter followers regard Blocktober as the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. Sadly, there will be a tragic trail of former followers by month’s end, as a procession of racists, bigots, blatantly disrespectful Twitta Gangstas and journalistic-integrity doubters get dispossessed of their posting privileges. With help from Natalie, Mike makes some of those tough (OK, not so tough) calls while giving listeners a window into his social media sensibilities.

The dissection of the greatest show on sports television begins with a history lesson showcasing former cast member Nate Burleson and the ‘Toe Drag Swag’ that launched him to stardom and degenerates into a debate over whether Steve Wyche, Rhett Lewis or Daniel Jeremiah had the more distinguished college football career. We learn why Wyche CAN (and will) drive 55 in Fargo--and discover what he and former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar have in common. Other highlights include a ranking of the Aftermath cast members’ looks, Natalie’s recollection of staging the infamous Hue Jackson sangria photo and a breakdown of the glorious Al Michaels/Aftermath love affair.

Finally, the episode you've been waiting for. Chid rounds down on paying bills online and then the Toasty Boys (Freeman McNeil - @FreemanMcNeil24, Turtlehead Joe -  @JoeTurtlehead, Sammy Eto'o -  @WorriedLadybug, Brewdog - @somethingbrewin, and Pharm - @aaapharmclub) come on to discuss their passion, their pride, what keeps them alive--Extra Toasty Cheez-Its (TM). Freeman and Joe campaign for president. Sigh is mocked relentlessly for changing his Twitter handle and being sandwich cucked. This podcast has controversial twists and turns, and there's a new segment called "Snackdraft," and a t-shirt design idea (This shirt is an officially licensed shirt from that mew new movie where Hue Jackson boxes a robot to save his son or whatever) and so much more.
