Don't Quote Us Sports

We made it to episode 50 and we're not taking it for granted — confetti cannons out! To celebrate the milestone, we kick things off reflecting on a year (almost) in the books, our AI-assisted production process, and whether or not Erb has ever verbally abused ChatGPT (he has).Then we get into the meat of it — the 2026 NFL Draft. We grade our mock draft, crown our winners and losers, and make the case for why the New York Giants had the best draft in the league while the Jacksonville Jaguars and Minnesota Vikings were the biggest disappointments. We also get into the tight end reach epidemic that apparently infected every war room in the league, the Jermod McCoy fall to the fourth round, Zion Young sliding to the Ravens, and Ohio State's historic stranglehold on the first 11 picks.From there we shift to the NBA Playoffs — Isaiah defends the Timberwolves amid injuries and a heated Nuggets-Wolves rivalry, Erb officially concedes the GOAT debate and hands LeBron James the crown at 41 years old (yes, really), and we break down the Lakers-Rockets series including a shoutout to the most underrated shooter in the league, Luke Kennard. We also get into the Knicks-Hawks series, CAT's inconsistency, and the Toronto Raptors quietly making everyone look foolish.We close out with a shoutout to Olivia Pichardo making D1 baseball history at Brown University, and Isaiah announces he's all-in on cricket — Royal Challengers Bangalore and Virat Kohli, baby. Erb is picking a rival team. The pronunciation disasters are coming next week.50 down. Many more to go. Don't quote us.

It's Episode 49 of Don't Quote Us Sports, and we are locked in. Isaiah and Erb kick things off with a Happy 420 to those who celebrate, a deep dive into how the pyramids were actually built (spoiler: Isaiah is not convinced), and a crash course on why cricket might be the second most popular sport in the world — whether we like it or not.From there, it's a proper sports talk episode. We open NFL Draft week with a full breakdown of the Dexter Lawrence trade to the Bengals for the 10th overall pick and what it means for both franchises. We break down how "Sexy Dexy" single-handedly transformed the Giants' defense with his on/off splits and why Cincinnati is officially in win-now mode with Joe Burrow on the clock. We also get into the Eagles' calculated move to trade AJ Brown to the Patriots — and where AJ ranks in fantasy drafts this year. Then we set our sights on the Raiders and the growing buzz that Kirk Cousins may actually start over #1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza Week 1. Is this a development move or a disaster waiting to happen? We debate it. Oh, and a massive personal shoutout — a kid from Isaiah's high school just made his NHL debut with the Philadelphia Flyers. Prior Lake, stand up.Then the NBA Playoffs come roaring in. Opening weekend delivered, and we've got full reactions: LeBron looking ageless with a historic stat line in Game 1 against Houston (with Austin Reeves AND Luka Doncic out), Victor Wembanyama going nuclear in his playoff debut with 35 points and five threes — and picking up Defensive Player of the Year in the process — and the Pistons getting stunned at home by the Magic in a game where Cade Cunningham basically played on one lung and nobody else showed up. We hand out our official Round 1 locks, weigh in on the Nuggets-Timberwolves opening game and the Jamal Murray free throw situation (Isaiah has thoughts), and give our Wolves hero pick for this series.The MVP race gets its moment too — Jokic's numbers are historically absurd, voter fatigue is real, and Isaiah has a wine analogy that just might be the most poetic thing ever said on this pod.Episode 50 is next week. Big one.Subscribe, like, follow, and tell somebody. No take too hot and nothing fully verified — this is Don't Quote Us Sports.

It's Episode 48 and life has been happening — Isaiah's coming off a Cam Whitcomb concert in NC and Erb has big news: a move to a new townhouse is on the horizon. That means one thing — furniture shopping, and apparently Bob's Discount Furniture isn't quite the deal it advertises. We also solve the age-old debate of Charmander vs. Bulbasaur (one of us is wrong), and Isaiah floats the idea of theater seating in Erb's new living room.Once we get into sports, we start by giving the Michigan Wolverines their proper flowers after a dominant national championship run — 19-point average margin of victory and a story for the ages in Elliott Cadell, the point guard UNC didn't want who became the heartbeat of a title team. We also discuss the curse of Tarris Reed, the case for moving basketball games back out of football stadiums, and the Bulls' quiet blessing of missing the play-in entirely.Then it's NFL Draft season. Fernando Mendoza is all but locked in at #1 to the Raiders, but we dig into whether the Jets are behind a suspicious smear campaign, the Laremy Tunsil/bong mask energy of the Ty Simpson situation, and who the most surprising first-round pick might be (Caleb Downs falling out of the top 10? Drew Allar going way earlier than you think?). We also settle the Mendoza vs. Simpson debate once and for all — kind of.The Lakers' injury nightmare is real. Luka's in Spain getting hamstring injections. Reeves is out 4-6 weeks. Their title odds collapsed from 30-1 to 300-1. We break down what a healthy-roster-free first round looks like against Houston and ask the big question: what does the LeBron contract situation look like this summer — and is he actually willing to prove he wants to win?Angel Reese is heading to Atlanta. The Chicago Sky got two first-rounders and what might be a fresh start. We give it the respect it deserves.And finally — Masters Week. Rory's defending. Scheffler's rusty. Bryson fits the 10 and 20-year statistical profile of a winner exactly. Isaiah likes Matt Fitzpatrick as a sleeper. We talk Tommy Fleetwood's kid stealing the Par 3 show, Matsuyama getting the respect he deserves, and why Master's merch has officially gone too far. No Tiger. No Phil. For the first time since 1994.No Take Too Hot and Nothing Fully Verified.

UConn is back at it again. Isaiah and Erb kick off Episode 47 with one of the most unbelievable moments of this year's NCAA Tournament — a 35-foot, buzzer-beating three from a freshman who grew up just 30 minutes from Lucas Oil Stadium, capping an insane comeback from 19 points down. From there, the guys dig into what this run means for Dan Hurley's legacy and the hard question nobody wants to ask: is John Scheyer starting to build a pattern of late-game collapses at Duke?Then it's a full pivot to baseball season. Isaiah and Erb run through their 2025 MLB MVP predictions for both leagues — is it Aaron Judge's award to lose in the AL? Is Shohei Ohtani even beatable in the NL? They throw out their dark horses, debate whether Cal Raleigh can top last year's 60-homer catcher season, and make the case for Wyatt Langford as a sleeper pick. The guys also speed-run every division with their winners and dark horses before closing out with some milestone watch items to keep an eye on all season long — from Judge chasing 400 home runs to Ronald Acuña Jr. hunting history.Oh, and robot umpires.
