The PODCAST

Patrick Reed wins Masters. His family situation and college career are well, complicated. The glory of shot-tracer. Gary Player envy. Runner Up Ricky. Shohei Otani! ESPN’s version of TV baseaball. And more!

Tony Finau’s dislocated ankle, turned -4 opening round is one of the great “golf injury” stories in a long time. But was it really that impressive? I’ve got everything you wanted to know about popping your ankle back into it’s socket, but were afraid to ask.

Chris Cooley is an artist, a slob, a genius, a goofball, and guy who is still obsessed with football now that he’s retired. I missed him, so I talked to him about his exhaustive scouting reports, Zoolander, and the “Fab 5” QB prospects in the NFL Draft.

FBI College Basketball Prosecution Coming Apart

The Masters Par-3 contest lived in sporting obscurity for years, until the Green Jackets teamed up with ESPN to finally put it on TV. It’s an event unlike anything in sports, that bridges generations on the most impossibly beautiful stage in sports.

Donte DiVincenzo is known as “The Michael Jordan of Delaware” and also “The Big Ragu” for his Italian heritage. He’s also a kid who tweeted some dumb embarrassing stuff when he was 14. He’s also a Final Four MOP and NCAA Champion. All Hail “Bossa Nova” for a dominating title run.

It’s not Sister Jean’s fault that the modern sports media runs like a herd of spooked cattle toward the easiest, laziest, and click-baity-ist of stories. Still, I wish she had seen it coming, and maybe stepped aside for the players once the Final Four had arrived.

Basketball remains a beautiful t-e-a-m game, despite the increasing tendency to rely on a few superstars to carry a squad. Nobody shares it quite like Loyola-Chicago, which is why they’ll be fun to root for this weekend at the Final Four.

I’m happy and excited to have Alex Smith as a Redskin. But the front office should tread lightly when bragging about his key “stat” of a winning record these last five years. Has anybody checked their records lately?

The NFL’s new “Lowering Your Head” rule (it needs a more catchy moniker) is either going to radically change the pro game as we know it, or it’ll just be another quickly junked bad idea in sports.

Michael Bennett is facing some serious charges. But so far, the evidence looks pretty flimsy. In fact it’s looking like the Bennett/Security guard case in Houston is going to be very divisive, so buckle up. In a lot of ways, it looks to me like it might be the mirror-opposite of Bennett’s LVPD claims after he was arrested. I’ll detail my comparisons in today’s CzabeCast.
