Fans of the podcast just simply couldn’t take it anymore. They needed a way to connect with their “favorite” sports podcast out there. But now they finally have an opportunity like no other. The Core 4 Sports Podcast is finally on Twitter!
In episode four of the Core 4 Sports Podcast, we delve into some NBA, NFL, and college basketball talk. We also give our top ten sports video games of our generation, and we have special guests Matt Scheff and Andrew Alvarado in studio.
In the third installment of the Core 4 Sports Podcast we hand out some of our NBA mid-season awards, present our top ten Michael Jordan moments on his 50th birthday, and we have friends of the show Bill and Barry stop by for a very memorable interview.
Episode 2 of the Core 4 Sports podcast
It’s currently a somber time in the world of sports. The NFL season is over, it’s still a bit too early to get excited for the MLB season, the NBA and NHL seasons are still relatively early, and it’s not March yet so no one in America really cares about college basketball.
So what do we do as sports fans when there’s a shortage of sports (that are actually in-season) to talk about? We speculate about the next NFL season of course! Remember, it is only a short seven months away…
The big-shots in Vegas are obviously aware of the American people’s thirst and longing for more NFL football, so yesterday they released their very, very, early odds as to who they believe will take home the Lombardi Trophy next season. For those of you who are too lazy to click on the link, the top five are:
1. New England Patriots, 6/1
2. San Francisco 49ers, 8/1
3. Denver Broncos, 8/1
4. Houston Texans, 10/1
5. Green Bay Packers, 10/1
Now if you have a brain and a basic understanding of the present-day NFL, there aren’t really any surprises here. The Patriots are assumed to be among the NFL’s elite every year because Bill Belichick sold his soul to the football gods back in 2000 when he took the job (Hey, you don’t just draft this guy and have him turn into one of the NFL’s greatest QB’s without a little black magic). The other four teams rounding out the top five were all very formidable in 2012, and they should happily be looking forward to next season. The only real problem that I have with these odds right now are that the Steelers are way too high at 14/1 (7th in the league), and the Colts are a bit too low at 40/1.
But all in all, these odds are being released seven months before the actual season starts, so we really can’t take anything from them just yet. For now I guess the NFL has to take a backseat to other sports for a while until the 2013 draft. Call me in April so that I can complain about my team’s picks like I actually know what I’m talking about.
