The 50th Scrimmage Show!

Well, here we are already at our 50th show, only two more shows and we will have amassed an entire year's worth of Sports Radio masterpieces!

Today we started off talking about the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Championship game, and the awesome wager that Daniel and Justin have resting on it's outcome! We then moved on to some local sports news, (Daniel is getting depressed about the Mariner's season after only two games!) We rounded the episode off with NFL and NBA talk, and some discussion of what exactly qualifies one for the title of "sports nerd."


In the Overtime Podcast we started out with an awesome interview with Jadon Carossino, a great friend of the show and kicker for the Grays Harbor Bearcats, who is currently at a pro scouting camp in Las Vegas! We then continued our discussion of Sports Nerdery, as well as the news that Jamie Moyer is still starting after over twenty years of pitching, and Steve Nash could end up playing for the Miami Heat!

Justin's Worst Week Ever

Here at the Scrimmage we've been doing our best to help our good friend Justin cope as his world has come crashing down this week, beginning with Peyton Manning's decision to spurn the advances of the Titans to go play with the Denver Broncos and culminating in his beloved Tar-Heels loss in the Elite Eight to Kansas!

Unfortunately, someone told Daniel that laughter was the best medicine, so he's been laughing at poor Justin all morning. Join in with us as we explore what's been happening this week in the NFL, the NCAA Tourney, and even the local High School Baseball and Softball games!


Our Overtime Podcast this week begins with a discussion of how Justin contributed to the Tar-heel's loss. After Justin has worked through his guilt and grief we move on to more NCAA Tourney discussion, then we moved on to the NBA followed by a discussion of the Mariner's lackluster opening game in Japan, and how Tiger Woods finally won a tournament!

Manning Watch and March Madness

In case you haven't been keeping up on every little detail from the the greatest free agency of all time, we've got the latest news for you on the teams that are courting Peyton, and the teams that have moved on! Justin is absolutely beside himself at the thought of his favorite player playing for his favorite team, and Daniel is terrified at the thought of a 49ers team under the leadership of a 4 time NFL MVP!

In other news, there's a college basketball tournament going on, and our hosts have some pretty heavy bets riding on the outcome! Daniel and Justin update us on whats going on in the NCAA Tourney, and how broken everyone's brackets are.

Finally, we got late breaking news that the Seattle Seahawks have signed Matt Flynn! Daniel and Justin give their reactions to the 'Hawks big signing!

Peyton to the Broncos? Cardinals? Dolphins? TITANS!?

The thought of it sends chills down my spine. Could I see one of my all time favorite players in my favorite team's jersey this season? I had not really thought of it as a serious possibility until today when I read Bud Adams' comments. Now my hopes are up, and ready to be dashed.

The first question is, as a fan, would I want that? To me the answer is simple. HECK YES! But it goes a little bit deeper than that.

GENTLEMEN, PREPARE YOUR BRACKETS!!!

The NCAA Tournament starting 68 have been officially announced, and we at The Scrimmage are pretty excited! (At least one of us is starting to get nervous, too!) In today's show we discuss the highlights from Selection Sunday, and share some insights in anticipation of Daniel and Justin's Bracket Battle! We highly encourage you to go check it out, and join in, at The Scrimmage Bracket Challenge! (In case you haven't been paying attention, Daniel and Justin have some serious respect riding on this Battle, and you stand a chance at some sweet loot! We finished the show out with some discussion of the Manning Mystery Tour, and some clutch Lebron Lovin'!


Our Overtime Podcast this week gets started with some discussion of the Mariners' preseason and what to do with the wealth of young players we see beginning to develop! Then you get to listen in as we fill out our first NCAA Tourney bracket, The Mascot Massacre!

Here Comes March Madness!

Good morning, Scrimmage Nation!

Today both our regular show and our Overtime Podcast are packed with excitement and comedic conflict!

First off, Daniel and Justin discussed the NBA MVP and whether or not Lebron James is deserving of the award. Our hosts are in general agreement on this issue, however, the conversation quickly deteriorated when Daniel started asking some pointed questions regarding the Heat's recent loss to the Utah Jazz, specifically questioning that final shot. You do not want to miss this heated exchange! It appears that Daniel has at last managed to crack the cool of the self styled "Voice of Reason," leaving the rest of us to wonder, should we really just "leave Lebron alone"?
We wrapped the regular show up with some discussion of the new, and still developing, story of NFL teams offering bounties to their defensive players for injuring opposing players. What does this mean for the future of the New Orleans Saints, and the National Football League?


The Overtime Podcast gets going with some talk about who we will see making it into the NCAA Tournament this year. Then we attempt to draw some conclusions from the Mariners first three preseason games, and announce our exciting Scrimmage Drawing! We finish up with some more discussion of the impending Bracket Battle and the late breaking news that Marshawn Linch has signed a 4 year deal with the Seahawks.
