    March Madness Deep Dive with Ryan Hammer: Contenders, Coaches & Draft Risers
    Mar 18 2026
    Ryan Hammer joins Stripe Sports for a full March Madness deep dive—breaking down who can actually cut down the nets… and who’s just noise. We start by dissecting the contenders outside of Hammer’s “Trapezoid of Excellence” (Duke, Michigan, Gonzaga, Arizona, Iowa State), diving into how they win and how they lose—including UConn, Kansas, Purdue, Houston, Michigan State, and more. Then we get into a big-picture debate: Is the mid-major Cinderella run officially dead in the NIL + portal era? True or False. From there, it’s classic Stripe Sports segments: Sports Scantron: Which Coach Cal freshman guard (Wall, Fox, Tyreke, Acuff) would you trust to lead a title run? Who Would You Rather Have: Cam Boozer vs a gauntlet of college legends (Zion, AD, Edey, Flagg, Banchero & more) Coach Edition: Jon Scheyer vs some of the biggest names in March (Izzo, Pitino, Hurley, Calipari, Painter) We close by identifying 5 non-lottery players who can explode their NBA Draft stock with a big March Madness run—next names up before they skyrocket. If you’re filling out a bracket, betting futures, or scouting the next wave of NBA talent—this is your edge. Tap in for elite analysis, bold takes, and everything you need before the madness tips off. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Feb 18 2026
    We’re back with a FULL 1st-Round NFL Mock Draft — and this one gets CHAOTIC. Tass runs the odds. Josh makes the picks. Trades are flying everywhere. The draft kicks off with the Las Vegas Raiders selecting Fernando Mendoza at No. 1, the New York Jets grabbing Caleb Downs at No. 2, and defensive stars like Arvell Reese, Rueben Bain Jr., and Mansoor Delane flying off the board early. But the real drama? The trades. Kansas City Chiefs move up for Francis Mauigoa Buffalo Bills swing big for Makai Lemon Philadelphia Eagles go get Kenyon Sadiq Multiple moves from the New York Jets Late-round chaos from the New Orleans Saints, Tennessee Titans, and more We break down every pick, every fit, and which teams won the night. Then we pivot to Way or No Way: Kirk Cousins Landing Spots Do the Jets, Raiders, Vikings, or even the Chiefs make sense? Who’s desperate enough to pull the trigger? Tyreek Hill Trade Destinations Could he reunite with the Chiefs? Pair with Lamar in Baltimore? End up with the Cowboys, Packers, or Bills? We go team-by-team and decide: Way… or No Way. Draft chaos. Blockbuster trade debates. Real team-building conversations. This is the offseason content you need. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    How Do The Seahawks Repeat? Where Do Sam Darnold and Mike Macdonald Rank As a HC/QB Duo?
    Feb 11 2026
    With the Super Bowl in the rearview, we dive straight into the biggest debates shaping the NFL offseason. Which HC/QB combo would you rather have next season? We run the full gauntlet — Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, Dak, Purdy, Stafford, Maye, Caleb Williams and more. Then it’s Can We Fix It? Seahawks Edition — a hard look at roster direction, coaching decisions, and whether Seattle’s stuck or one move away. Josh takes over with a deep dive on 2027 First-Time Hall of Fame Ballot players, separating real Hall of Famers from nostalgia picks. In the NBA, it’s Way or No Way: Can They Win the Title? post-deadline, followed by Guy or Not the Guy, debating who truly deserves to be the face of their franchise. And in MLB, we end with a legacy-level question: Which trade was worse — Betts or Devers? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We dive into the draft next, identifying five players who could leap into the first round after the Senior Bowl, including Lee Hunter, Gabe Jacas, Zion Young, Caleb Banks, and Malachi Fields. Finally, chaos hits the NBA with a blockbuster Giannis Antetokounmpo to Golden State trade proposal — sending Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, and a haul of first-round picks back to Milwaukee. Who says no? Who wins the deal? And does this create the NBA’s next superteam? NFL debates, draft risers, and an all-time NBA trade scenario — let’s get into it.
