Isolation Ep #2: One Glorious Week of AFL, then Chaos.

SportsGasmic — Thu, 02 Apr 2020 23:15:00 +1030

As COVID-19 continues to bring our world to a halt, we keep trying to do a sports podcast in an age of no sports. Results are appropriately chaotic, even if still a lot of fun. A first time as we have a four-person pod with Dave, Shea, Vince & Matt all on board! - We do start with sports chat, as we briefly discuss the glorious week of Australian footy action right before hard quarantine measures truly hit Australian shores. Vince watched more than most Australians. - Chat then moves to the more serious questions of just when will we see these leagues come back, if ever - as well as the financial implications for leagues, particularly the AFL & NRL in Australia looking at some extreme measures to try and keep their leagues afloat. - Then the chaos reigns. Beer pong against ourselves. Live from Owen's bar. How we're dealing with our isolation, the beers, the wines, the tv shows. Stick with us, there's some good banter and info in there somewhere. I think. What do you call tiny bottles of alcohol? You'll find out. That's content, people. I say grab a beer and join us every week, but this time it is absolutely essential.

Isolation Ep. #1: Sport Stops, COVID-19 Grips, Patriots Still Dominate Headlines

SportsGasmic — Thu, 19 Mar 2020 17:15:00 +1030

A lot has changed since we last did this. Oil is precious. Denzel is blind and carrying a bible around the wasteland. Mel Gibson is chasing criminals through the Australian outback. Tom Brady is still breaking hearts. As the very serious COVID-19 pandemic brings the world to a grinding halt, in an SG first we get Dave, Shea and Vince all on the same pod for a social distancing FaceTime roundtable on all things sports and life over the last week and a half. - The week since the catalyst of NBA suspension, everything that has happened in our lives since. - Tom Brady decides NOW is a good time to leave the Pats. Of course. - The tragedy of NCAA cancelling the rest of this year, both for basketball and the Spring sports athletes. - Just what do all the sports do to finish their seasons, and Dave posits the idea that maybe it is the next season that hasn't been played that should be voided rather than a season 3/4 through. - What can we bet on now? Australian Football is still running, or we bet on the Mad Max apocalypse. Crack a can and quarantine with us. We might be sane still.

Coronavirus & Sports, Historic Oregon Ducks, + EPL, Timbers/MLS & NBA

SG Dave — Mon, 09 Mar 2020 22:30:00 +1030

It's a hefty one, but a good one. Settle in for a couple hours with your preferred beverage and muse on all things sports with us.

Invincible Liverpool No Longer, Pep's Future + Zion is Good & Ugly Bobbleheads

SG Dave — Thu, 05 Mar 2020 23:00:00 +1030

Shea joins Dave on a brisk Aussie Monday morning to chat everything happening in the football world, plus a brief touch of NBA before Dave has to head off for work (bloody day jobs). - Liverpool no longer invincible after a weird weekend of footy, and Arsenal get to celebrate for the first time in a decade. The Arsenal and Liverpool fans clash over the concept of legacy vs the now. - A deep dive into just where Manchester City are at now with the pending ban from Europe, the legacy of Pep and how long he might hang around, and what they may achieve from this point on. - The race for 5th and possible Champions League in the EPL. - Zion, Giannis vs Harden, and the Blazers should they/shouldn't they shut it down. - Some live updates of El Clasico as it was on in the background during recording. Since you obviously lived under a rock until this released three days later... - The science of making a good bobblehead. Get SportsGasmic.

Man City BREXIT, MLB Getting Dirty, Oregon Ducks Season Review w/ Vince

SG Dave — Tue, 18 Feb 2020 23:30:00 +1030

Vince is back on the SG Pod finally, and we get to mix it up with some breaking news as well as some reminiscing of the last 6 months of our sports worlds. - Breaking hours before we recorded was the news that Man City have joined the Brexit movement, though they didn't vote for this one. UEFA have handed down a 2-year ban to the Citizens for FFP breaches - a story that will surely continue over the coming months. - The cheating scandal in MLB won't go away, as the opposition of the Astros intensifies with high profile players calling them and the league out for their bullish stances. - We review our alma maters season as the Oregon Ducks Football program returned to national relevance in 2019, and Vince met a Ducks fan at the Rose Bowl that proved the world can be incredibly small sometimes! - A little bit of Liverpool & EPL chat to finish off the pod on a real positive note for both of us - soz Shea. Grab a beer, clean up your shell accounts, and settle back and chill with us.

Super Bowl Review, Mookie Betts on LA, EPL, NBA, & Movie Chat

SportsGasmic — Fri, 14 Feb 2020 23:30:00 +1030

Shea & Dave back at it with their thoughts on the Super Bowl, and everything else happening in the sports world - plus our predictions for the Oscars! - Super Bowl chat (after Shea checks his Bobblehead emails) as we discuss how the game kinda played to the formula we had predicted - for both teams. - After some brief chat about why Goldberg has hit hard times post Mighty Ducks, we chat about the continued scandal in baseball while talking about Mookie Betts pending (at the time of recording) trade to LA. - Some EPL chat as we talk about how the rest of the season may play out as Liverpool battle on multiple fronts with a handy league lead. - NBA chat as we talk Blazers minor recovery as well as Lillard and his MVP chances. - OSCARS!

RIP Kobe Bean Bryant

SportsGasmic — Tue, 28 Jan 2020 14:50:00 +1030

There is no way to summarize an episode that began within the hour of learning that Kobe Bryant had tragically passed far too soon. We were planning to record regardless, & we dive into a pod as best we can with this weighing heavy on our hearts. - After a little bit too long of an intro by Dave, Shea & Dave crack into our reaction to the shocking news of Kobe Bryant's passing. Other names were not known at time of recording, but our equal love and heartbreak go out to Gianna Bryant, John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli, Sarah Chester, Payton Chester, Christina Mauser, & Ara Zobayan. RIP. - After working through the Kobe news, we get into what we had planned which was some Super Bowl preview chat. Our thoughts on the matchup, how the Chiefs & 49ers got there, & how we think the match might flow. - Lastly, we continue talking about the ongoing cheating scandal rocking Major League Baseball. No matter what the MLB says, this story just isn't going away, & the players are starting to really speak out. - BONUS: Kobe's final game speech is at the end of this pod. All rights reserved to the broadcaster, ESPN, & affiliates. This was a tough one. Tell your loved ones you love them. Stay SportsGasmic.

Happy Scandalous 2020 - Astros & Other Things

SportsGasmic — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 23:30:00 +1030

After a month and a half off from the on-pod work, Dave & Shea are back at trying to dissect a crazy holiday period in the sports world. The biggest news, the Astros scandal. We talk all facets - why is it different, what will it mean for baseball, what are the ramifications, and how do we feel about it. The other big stories - the NCAA football championship, OBJ slapping asses and giving money - why neither should be worried about, but are. The Ducks end a great season on a high, and Vince meets a famous fan with Port Adelaide ties. There's been so much fucking sports since we last podded that we really hit it all swiftly, but we also chat about the race in the English Premier League and how it has developed (knock on wood) into a very likely good year for Liverpool. There's a lot going on. Gonna need an alcoholic digestive to get this one down - Shea can help out with that.

MeloBlazers, Managing Loads, & MVP Doncic

SportsGasmic — Tue, 26 Nov 2019 10:00:00 +1030

Shea has maybe recovered from his concussion/sinus infection, & joins Dave for another week of NBA chat. - Carmelo Anthony is back in the league - & in Portland?! We chat about the unlikely move, just how desperate the Blazers are, & if anything can even help the 19/20 iteration of a team that were conference finalists just a few months ago. - Load management. It's a loaded term. Ayyyyy. We chat about it. And talk about why it's a mountain out of a molehill, & ya'll need to get over it. - Luka Doncic is boss. That's it. But we talk about it, & the early MVP chances. Get those cold & flu tablets in, avoid the concussions, & join us for another great episode of the SG Pod.

LFC vs. City Fallout, + Title Race Update & Aussie Ladies Get $$$

SportsGasmic — Mon, 18 Nov 2019 21:35:00 +1030

A big pre-international break weekend is broken down as Shea & Dave chat the fallout of Liverpool's big 3-1 win over Manchester City. Shea thinks the race is done, but Dave sees a long road ahead. Also on the agenda: - The fallout of the match as Sterling can't shake the mental turmoil of the events at Anfield, & deciding to crack into Gomez at England camp. Should the national team meet up so soon after such a huge club match? - The title race is heating up, as though Liverpool have a handy gap, Leicester & Chelsea are quietly getting themselves into the mix. - More VAR controversy. Because of course there fucking was. But was it really? - Breaking ground in Australia as the Matildas become the first national women's side to receive equal pay. Come for the good footy chat, stay for Shea going full Gruden while commending the women's footy news.

The People vs. The NCAA, + Naughty Astros & NFL Surprises/Disappointments

SportsGasmic — Sat, 16 Nov 2019 22:45:00 +1030

Through concussions & summer colds, Dave & Shea battle through another week of huge US sports news. - The NCAA hits Ohio State & Memphis hard, suspending two of the biggest stars in College Football & Basketball for financial breaches - is this legit, or just the NCAA refusing to get with the times? - The Houston Astros downward spiral post World Series loss continues, as explosive claims about them utilising cameras & trash cans (yep, seriously) to tip pitches in the 2017 win against the Dodgers puts a potential asterisk, or worse, against their title. - The biggest surprises, as well as the biggest disappointments, of the NFL season so far. Are we really believing Gruden is a good coach? So good, that Shea has to do his Gruden impression? We just might be. Get Gruden-ey with us.

No Country for Old NBA

SportsGasmic — Tue, 12 Nov 2019 08:15:00 +1030

It's an NBA deep dive today, as Shea & Dave discuss the evolution of the NBA in the 21st century off the back of Pau Gasol's comments regarding the changes in his time as a professional. Is the NBA turning into an immoral wild west? Losing it's purity, a world inhabited by Anton Chigurgh's. Or is Gasol (and Shea) just a Sheriff Bell, a man with good intentions who the world has simply passed by, leaving him to sip on a cup of three pointers flying over his head, unable to understand the new world he's living in? What do you stand to win by listening to this pod? Everything.

F*** VAR, Fixture Madness, & Title Fight Time

SportsGasmic — Sun, 10 Nov 2019 08:10:00 +1030

Dave & Shea chat the big stories of the footy week, which seem to be the big stories every week recently. VAR again?! - VAR rears it's ugly head AGAIN as a big moment for Liverpool ultimately proved inconsequential, but sparked huge backlash over it's use as high profile football personalities railed against the technology this week. - Liverpool officially playing two fixtures in two days on two different continents, meaning the unprecedented event of two different squads being deployed for "first team" fixtures to be able to play the fixtures. WTF, we say. - A huge matchup in the Premier League as Liverpool & Man City ring the title fight bell at Anfield this weekend, & Klopp vs Pep off field snipes. Grab a chair, pull up the VAR monitor, draw some diagonal lines, & get SportsGasmic with us.

SportsGasmic — Thu, 07 Nov 2019 18:00:00 +1030

Plenty of footy drama, & plenty of Shea & Dave to break it down. - We discuss the now former Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka, & the sad scenes at the Emirates as he came to blows with the fans. - The epic Carabao Cup tie between Arsenal & Liverpool, plus the scheduling headache facing Liverpool. - The MLS Cup final: begrudgingly discuss the Sounders making another final, once again against Toronto, + the shock of them making it through over the heavily favoured top sides from each conference. Grab a Carabao (or don't, I'm unsure if it's any good or just like the Chernobly in Hot Tub Time Machine) & join us for a pod as meaty as an Eric Cantona fly-kick.

World Series Review + Warriors Back to Earth, UFC NBA, Kyrie Problems?

We try to tackle the controversy surrounding Daryl Morey & his tweet in support of Hong Kong causing China to completely admonish the NBA & cause a global incident. - In light of Percy Harvin's admission he was "high" every game day during his NFL career, we discuss the continuing evolution of the cannabis in football issue, as society is constantly growing to a more mature understanding of marijuana & it's place in the world, as well as sports. - NFL stories of the week: Chiefs banged up an mortal, Pats continue to roll (but there are concerns), NFC bloodbath with the Niners, Seahawks & Rams in a hell of a divisional battle, + other stories from the week. - A brief on college football as the season finally begins to heat up.

SportsGasmic — Sun, 06 Oct 2019 23:15:00 +1030

Part Two of the "Dave has too much beer + gin" pods of the week - and it's a bit of a ride.

SportsGasmic — Thu, 12 Sep 2019 20:00:00 +0930

A hell of a lot of news to try and chew on this week in the NFL, the Antonio Brown saga taking a disturbing turn, College Football, and a little bit of basketball action. - Antonio Brown: The end in Oakland, the Patriots signing, & the serious allegations of sexual assault. - NFL Week 1: Pats roll, Lamar is perfect, the Browns take a big dump, & other stories from week one. - The Patriots the most hated team of the 21st century? - College Footy Week 2: Clemson statement, Oregon cupcake walk, USC, LSU, etc. - USA Basketball loses for the first time since 2006, no medals at the FIBA World Cup. - Kevin Durant hates the NBA, sometimes. How right is he, & how complicit is he? Tea & Coffee. Double parked. Shoutout froffs.

Football's Racism Problem + Derby Reviews & European Previews

SportsGasmic — Fri, 06 Sep 2019 22:25:00 +0930

Shea & Dave hit the round ball game again, with lots on the table this week. We begin in serious mode and discuss the ridiculousness that is the continued problem of racism in football, focusing on Italy as Romelu Lukaku has to defend against both opposition and his own fans simply because of his skin colour. Football must reckon with itself rather than continually deflect, and steps in France against bigotry have shown there are options to be taken.

We lighten the mood back to talking the on field game after this, as Shea reflects on his Gunners taking a point from Spurs in a fiery North London Derby. A point that at one point looked unlikely, and in the end could have been three. Just how unlikeable are the stars at the Spurs, and why is Harry Kane allowed to blatantly dive without the media scrutiny that non-English stars get? Along with this, we also chat about the prospects for the non LFC vs Man City field in the Premier League, figuring out who is in prime position to take the rest of the top four, and the struggles of Chelsea and Manchester United.

Champions League Group Stage preview follows, as we bang out the groups and try to predict who might get through. Some groups are cakewalks, some will be bloodbaths. We lather ourselves up and dive right in.

MLS talk finishes out the pod as we briefly touch on a big Timbers result, wild Sounders vs Galaxy, LAFC continue to roll, and Philly get a big result in the East.

Dave is eight beers deep by the end of the pod as some harmless mindless banter finishes us out for the week. Good stuff.

College Week 1, NFL Dollar$, Baseball Heating Up

SportsGasmic — Thu, 05 Sep 2019 15:00:00 +0930

College Football is back and though week one was lacking in marquee matchups, it wasn't lacking in stories. Dave & Shea run the analysis over the Oregon vs Auburn heartbreaker, discuss the other contenders for the year & their starts, the early Heisman talk, a little bit of Willie Taggart Schadenfraude (sorry, FSU fans), & talk about the Week 2 slate of games #statestouchrivalry.

We then roll onto some NFL talk, as the Ezekiel Elliot contract saga finally came to a conclusion mere hours before recording. Ramifications of that contract - as well as Jared Goff also getting a massive new deal at the Rams - with big guaranteed dollars involved, as well as how much Jerry Jones will leverage the future against his desire for a pre-deathbed Super Bowl. A bit of mindless NFL banter, (Bill Belichick might literally be the devil, and that's okay).

We finish with the big baseball stories as the race towards playoffs heats up. Yankees, Astros, wild wildcard races, Dodgers, Cubs vs Cardinals in the hottest pennant race. Which teams are best positioned to go all the way, the low-key moneyball A's are at it again, and why the Oakland teams divorce is ugly AF - https://www.complex.com/sports/2019/08/athletics-player-liam-hendriks-slams-golden-state-warriors

Beers always recommended. Or tea.

#AUnitedFront, General MLS, Early European Footy Musings

SG Dave — Thu, 29 Aug 2019 16:00:00 +0930

Dave & Shea back at, trying to work out just what the hell is wrong with the MLS & the Timbers front office as the divide between fans & the MLS turns ugly over the Iron Front ban. We then turn our attentions to the actual on field product - where the Timbers are at this season, the battle for LA, & why Zlatan hasn't been the greatest for the league as he should. Ships then sail across the Atlantic as we hit the Premier League, with focus on our respective teams following the Liverpool 3-1 Arsenal match. We discuss the EPL, Champions League favourites, & which teams want which competition more. Finishing off with some banter as Shea gets used to his new environs for footy watching on the East Coast. Grab your favourite footy watching beverage & hang out for a bit.

Luck-y Retirements, General NFL Thoughts, WTF Pac-12 9am?

SG Dave — Thu, 29 Aug 2019 15:00:00 +0930

Shea and Dave get around some NFL chat with the Andrew Luck retirement and the good, bad, and ugly reaction to it. Antonio Brown hating his helmets, Kansas City written off, the underlying racism as prevalent as ever, as well as general thoughts on the upcoming season. We brief some thoughts about the NCAA season coming up, and chat about the ridiculous plans to play a Pac-12 game at 9am Pacific Time. Grab a 6am tailgate beer and join us!

Anti-VAR, EPL Title Race, UCL, Ryan Gos-dammit w/ Vince

SG Dave — Fri, 19 Apr 2019 05:00:00 +0930

Vince on Pod this time with the Futty talk. We start with Vince joining Dave in Anti-VAR to fight the tyranny that VAR is bringing down on the wonderful game of football at the moment. Timbers struggles continue to be dissected, before we turn our attentions to the title race and try to reconcile a great Liverpool season regardless of if it ends up with a title, while also respecting the opponents that may just get it... almost. We chat a quick bit of Champions League before audio recording issues finally get the best of us. It sounds good though. Chill with us.

Tiger #GOAT, NBA Playoffs, Aussie Vacation w/ Vince

SG Dave — Thu, 18 Apr 2019 08:45:00 +0930

Vince is back on the SG Pod with Dave following his trip down under. The lads marvel at the completion of a decade long redemption story from Tiger with his magnificent victory at Augusta, and talk of our memories of one of the great moments in sports. We then hit the NBA playoffs and a promising start to the Blazers hunt for the Larry O'Brien, as well as some of the other surprises in the early running (WTF, Lowry). Some brief MVP chat before we finish off with memories of Vince's first in-person experience of Australian Football and 'The Hill' at Adelaide Oval.

The AFL Show - Struggling Starts, Umpire Frustration, Tangents

SG Dave — Tue, 16 Apr 2019 18:00:00 +0930

Matt returns to the SG Pod to talk all things Aussie Footy with Dave. The struggling start to the year for both the Crows and Power is dissected, with props given to the influx of youth giving Port fans some hope for the future - as well as talking the futures of the respective coaches and some of the big names. We follow on with a look at the wider AFL picture and some of the surprise packets of the early running in 2019. Then the tangents begin as we discuss how the AFL can contend with video review and umpiring in the 21st century before deep diving into the AFL's culpability in some of the bigger scandals in the last 10-15 years. It's a good one - subscribe, rate, review. The AFL are pussies.

Warriors Apathy, Shitshow Lakers, Distracted Lebron, Blazers to the Finals.

SG Dave — Wed, 13 Mar 2019 21:55:00 +1030

Vince on Pod again with some NBA talk this time round. The Lakers shitshow that cannot be escaped is again targeted, this time discussing just exactly where the responsibility lies for the current woes - Magic, the ownership, or Lebron - as well as the negativity around what has been a pretty good statistical LBJ year despite the circus. We then discuss Vince's hometown Blazers, the Barkley pick to go to the NBA finals and just how good this Blazers team can be and the ever increasing greatness of Damian Lillard. The weird Golden State Warriors apathy is also on the cards, should there be a worry? (Hint: Probably not). We finish off with more MVP talk as the race heats up towards seasons end, and again just how the legacy of MVP winners are remembered. Blazers in 6.

VAR Sucks Sometimes, & Other Lovely Futty Things

SG Dave — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 21:00:00 +1030

Vince is back on the SG Pod with takes on takes in the football world. Timbers talk starts us off as we try to keep perspective on the start of the season in the context of a once in a lifetime crazy Timbers schedule, as well as some more chat on the future of the MLS as a whole. VAR comes under the microscope as we try to work out just what the f*** counts as a decision that can/should/could be overturned in the wake of some high profile decisions in the last week both in Europe and the MLS. We finish off with some talk on Liverpool and the EPL title race, as well as the groundbreaking lawsuit brought against US Soccer by the Women's National Team and what it means for the future of womens football. BONUS: A Sergio Ramos joke is included in this pod. How lucky you all are.

Futty Times - EPL Races, UCL Predictions, Timbers + MLS Futures

SG Dave — Wed, 06 Mar 2019 10:30:00 +1030

Shea and Dave dive into the world of football as Dave tries to remain calm as Liverpool struggle in the title race, while Shea is quietly hopeful about Arsenal's hopes to finish in the four. Also on the board is just what the f*** is going on at Chelsea, where the blame lies in the dearly departed Mourinho era at United, Champions League thoughts and predictions, Timbers talk in the wake of the bizarre blizzard game that opened the season, and some musings on the future of the MLS as a whole. As always, brought to you with love and a touch of wine. **As with the previous episode, apologies for audio issues - they were recorded back to back. Efficiency.

Should be rectified after the next pod.

Also on deck is NBA playoffs, dirty Zaza and thoughts on the playoffs up to point of recording. As always, we finish with some round ball thoughts on both our Timbers and the MLS, as well as Liverpool and the European game. Crack a cold one and join us. *Recorded in late May.
