About this listen

Two friends, and known arm-chair managers, with way too many opinions and not nearly enough credibility dive into the wild world of sports. From the NFL to the NBA to whatever game they watched last night, no take is too hot - and no fact is fully verified. Welcome to Don't Quote Us... seriously, don't.

  • National Championship Recap, NFL Draft Talk & Lakers Injury Crisis
    Apr 9 2026

    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.

  • Buzzer Beaters, Baseball Is Back & MVP Beefs
    Apr 2 2026

    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. Yeah, they went there.

    Topics covered: UConn's miracle comeback • Dan Hurley's all-time case • John Scheyer under the microscope • AL & NL MVP predictions • Division winners & dark horses • MLB milestones to watch • The robot umpire debate

  • Chalk, Chaos & Controversy: Breaking Down March Madness Rounds 1 & 2
    Mar 24 2026

    Episode 46 of Don't Quote Us Sports is here and we're breaking down everything from opening weekend of March Madness — the upsets, the blowouts, the controversies, and the bigger questions facing college basketball.

    We kick things off with jersey number trivia for #46 before diving deep into rounds one and two of the tournament, including the Kentucky-Santa Clara clock controversy, VCU's insane comeback over UNC, and what Iowa and Nebraska's runs mean for the Big Ten's basketball identity. We also get into the NIL era's impact on mid-major programs, whether legacy coaches like Hubert Davis and Mark Few are on their way out, and what a UNC head coaching search could look like.

    Plus — SGA breaks Wilt Chamberlain's scoring streak, and Travis Kelce may have just pulled off the heist of the year on the Chiefs.
