NFL Schedule Trouble, Angels Collapse and Stefon Diggs | Sports | Taps & Takes

This sports edition of Taps & Takes starts with a Kentucky Derby long shot, then rolls straight into the messiest corners of the NBA, NHL, MLB, and NFL. Season 2, Episode 16 of The Do-Over Podcast features Drew Hyatt and Edward Raus + Royce Rant breaking down the stories that actually got them fired up, from playoff brackets to cursed franchises, hated teams, and NFL drama. For new viewers, The Do-Over Podcast is a loose, honest, funny conversation show built around real stories, strong opinions, sports, pop culture, and whatever the room naturally turns into. Taps & Takes is the crew’s sports and nerd-news style series, recorded here at Grogg’s Traditional Irish Pub, where the conversations are casual but the takes still come hot. The episode opens with the Kentucky Derby and the wild money behind Golden Tempo’s long-shot win, including jockey payouts, horse value, and future stud fees. From there, Drew and Edward move into the NBA playoffs, the Knicks’ path after the Celtics are out, and why the second round already feels too long. They also hit the NHL playoffs, Canada’s last remaining team, and whether hockey is staying in America again. Then the conversation shifts into baseball, where the Angels get called out as the worst team in MLB, followed by a full NFL run: Tyrod Taylor joining the Packers, the most hated teams in football, Green Bay entering villain territory, and Warren Sharp’s strength-of-schedule breakdown. The back half gets into the brutal outlook for the Dolphins and Cardinals, the easiest schedules in the league, Arch Manning and next year’s quarterback class, Navy players getting drafted, AJ Brown rumors, wide receiver drama, and the Stefon Diggs lawsuit story before the crew closes with a Grogg’s shoutout and a note about splitting nerd news and sports into separate shows. 00:00 – Sports show intro 00:31 – Kentucky Derby long shot 00:53 – Golden Tempo money breakdown 03:45 – NBA playoffs second round 04:58 – NHL playoffs and Canada’s last team 06:29 – Angels become MLB bottom feeders 08:24 – Tyrod Taylor joins Green Bay 09:01 – Most hated NFL teams 10:44 – NFL strength of schedule 12:42 – Easiest NFL schedules 14:21 – Rams, Cowboys and tough paths 15:18 – Arch Manning and QB prospects 16:14 – NIL, Navy and NFL draft rules 17:04 – AJ Brown and receiver drama 19:15 – Stefon Diggs lawsuit claims 21:54 – Grogg’s shoutout and outro 22:15 – Splitting nerd news and sports #TheDoOverPodcast#DoOverPodcast#TapsAndTakes#SportsPodcast#SportsTalk#NFL#NBAPlayoffs#NHLPlayoffs#MLB#KentuckyDerby#GreenBayPackers#LosAngelesAngels#StefonDiggs
