A Friendly Shaikh on Sports

Sorry for the delays but we are now back to our regular recordings. March is a crazy time of the year as we are gearing up for NCAA tournament, other wise known as March Madness. Austin and I will give you our brackets and review a lot of the key games for the early rounds and tell you who we have to win the tournament. On top of that we will be going through the end of the hockey season and giving our takes for the playoff races and trade deadline pickups are shaping up.  Show breakdown  March Madness: Start to 39:28 NHL review: 39:28 to end of show

The big game is finally here! After 17 weeks of the regular season and 3 weeks of postseason play, the San Francisco 49ers and Kansa City Chiefs will face off for the chance to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Throughout the episode we will be giving our takes on which positions and matchups favor each team.  

After a small break, Austin and Hasan are back talking about football. They go through their recap of the end of the 2023 NFL season as well as the playoffs leading up to the Super Bowl. 

Hi Everyone! after a small break, Austin and Hasan are back once again with their takes on the NFL season. With the halfway point reached, they will be going over week 9 games as well as their picks for which teams are contenders for the playoffs as well which ones need to start looking at the next season. 

Well it finally happened, Hasan's bracket finally broke after the Braves lost to the Phillies in 4 games. They will be taking on the Red Hot Diamondbacks for a chance to win the National League Pennant. On the American League side, the Astros have made it their 7th consecutive ALCS appearance but will be facing a strong Rangers team who haven't lost in the postseason yet (thanks to timely hitting and pitching as well as listening to Creed before every game). League Pennants and a World Series appearance are on the line for these teams. On top of discussing the playoffs, the guys will also be giving their picks for this year's MLB Annual player awards. 

Hasan's Postseason bracket is still perfect as the start of the MLB Divisional Series as just begun. The final 8 will be duking it out for the chance to play in the League Championship Series. Who will make it to the next round? Will it be the MLB stalwarts like the Astros and Braves or will there be a newcomer like the Diamondbacks and/or the Orioles? Listen on to hear our analysis and takes for each of the following games as well as a lookahead to see who we think will make it to the LCS. 

Austin and Hasan discuss what to make of many of the NFL’s top teams, while evaluating just what to make of some other teams that are floating around .500.  Jets, Browns, and Bengals all find ways to win difficult games and spark hope that they are still playoff worthy.  Injuries begin to pile up; will it have an affect on how the rest of the season plays out?

Which is more important the QB or the Head Coach. This discussion has been going on for a while but has been sparked lately by many HOF caliber coaches looking bad after their star QB's have left them for retirement or new teams. We will be talking about which one is more important as well as giving out our top 10 teams in the NFL. On top of that, we will also be going over week 5's biggest games and looking ahead to Week 6 of the NFL as well!

It's finally started, the first round of the MLB Playoffs are here with the Best of 3 Wild Card Round. For the next 2-3 days, the Rays & Rangers, Twins & Blue Jays, Diamondbacks & Brewers and Marlins & Phillies will each face off to see who will make it to the ALDS and NLDS. We will be going through each of these matchups as well give live look-ins to some of the Game 1 matchups. 

One fourth of the NFL season is completed and teams are starting to separate themselves from each other. The Bills and Dolphins faced off for the first of 2 two games to help decide who is face of that division and potentially the AFC. On the NFC side, the Toilet Bowl occurred between the Broncos and Bears. Listen on to hear Austin's Hasan's takes for these games and more. 

Week 3 of the NFL was another great week to an already exciting season. Already there are teams that are separating themselves from the rest of the league and showing why (cough, cough Miami crushing Denver). While other teams teams are still trying to find their identify and have early season rust shaken off. On top of that listen to Hasan make fun of Austin clothing choices and our disagreement over Culver's frozen custard. 

Another fun week for the NFL season. Though its early, week 2 is a defining week teams where it can either lead a team to a potential playoff run or to an early selection in the draft. We will go over all the biggest games from the week, and also give our opinions on which teams are "real" 2-0 teams and which ones are "frauds".  

It's almost the start of October and that means the MLB Postseason is right around the corner as well as the start of the NHL season. This episode will dive into the last 2 weeks of the MLB playoff push and discuss the teams that are most poised for an October run. Along with that, we will also be going over the start of the NHL season and giving our takes on which teams had the best offseason. 

Week 1 of the NFL had a lot of ups and downs with some exciting games as well as some heartbreaking ones (sorry Jets Fans!!). Listen to Austin and Hasan as they give their takes and opinions on the biggest games of week 1 as well as forecasting some potential big matchups in week 2 as well.
