The Radio Blast: A Sports Podcast

Your 2015 Super Bowl preview show is here.  And since we are an equal time show we've brought in guests to cover both sides of the big game.  Bob Condotta from the Seattle Times will tell us how the Seahawks are preparing.  And Bill Speros from Boston.com will tell us how the Patriots are going to test that celebrated Seahawk defense.

Urban Meyer solidifies himself as one of the best coaches in the game with Ohio State's National Championship win over Oregon.  We'll recap the game, what went right for the Bucks and what went wrong for the Ducks.  Plus we'll discuss the Rex Ryan hire in Buffalo and talk to Jay Busbee from Yahoo Sports about the NFL moving to LA.

Is the NFL going to LA?  This time it seems a bit more likely than previous years.  Jay Busbee from Yahoo Sports joins up to talk about Stan Kroenke's threats to move the Rams to LA.  Is it legit or is it a powerplay with the city of St Louis?  We'll also talk about what current NFL head coach opening is the most and least attractive.  And in a special bonus, we look back at Guns N Roses Use Your Illusions.  Does it still hold up all these years later?

In the interest of equal time we wanted to make sure we got ready for the National Championship game from the Ohio State side of things.  James Grega, Assistant Sports Editor from The Latern joined us to break things down Buckeye style.  Is Cardell Jones the best QB on the roster?  Can the Buckeye defense keep pace with the Ducks offense?  Is this team built for a multiple year run?  And can I get an Ohio State student to say the words Michigan Wolverines?

Lisa Horne, co-host of Tune In Radio's Pacific Parade calls in to give us East Coasters some Oregon knowledge.  We'll talk about the upcoming National Championship from the west cost side of things, who she would take at #1 Marcus Marriota or Jameis Winston, and you'll hear her talk this long suffering Colorado Buffaloes fan off the ledge.

It's all come down to this, the College Football Playoff has given us the final two teams, Ohio State and Oregon.  We'll look back at round one of the playoffs.  What went wrong for Alabama and Florida State.  We'll also ask Kelly Ward Sports Editor for The Crimson White if this was a disappointing season for Bama and if she thinks Nick Saban could go back to the NFL.Plus, who's the clubhouse leader for the Buffalo Bills head coaching job. 

So Doug Marrone decides to up and leave the Bills.  Well Doug don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you.  We'll talk about his decision and where the Bills go from here.  We'll also break down the College Football Playoff semi finals.  

Join us for the 1st Annual Radio Blast Christmas Spectacular!  Friend of the show Brian Conaghan joins us for some yule tide fun as we talk about what it's like growing up in New York at Christmas.  We'll also debate our favorite Christmas movies and songs.

The gloss has been knocked off the Maize and Blue.  In this episode we welcome back our good friend Brendan McDaniels to talk about why no one want the Michigan job to the lack of scoring in college football.  We'll also try to figure out what's wrong with the Bills and Saints and talk about where Jay Cutler goes from here.  

Time for a new segment called quick hits.  It's when I just have a bunch of things I want to talk about but not spend a lot of time doing it.  These are going to be 10-15 minute segments on a variety of topics.  In this first episode we'll discuss:Which Heisman winner had the best NFL career?Is Mike Reilly really an upgrade from Bo Pellini?Why sacks are so overratedAnd Watt vs. Rodgers for the MVP.  To me it's pretty clear.

Sports Illustrated's Zac Ellis joins us to talk the big three in College Football right now; Coaches, Heisman and of course the College Football Playoffs.  Is this Marcus Mariota's Heisman to lose?  Where does Nebraska go for it's next coach?  And all the different scenario's for the College Football Playoff.  We break it all down.

Can two pretentious foodies spend 45 minutes talking about the Olive Garden?  You bet your sweet ass they can. Food blogger Jared Paventi recently ate a four course meal as a reward, or punishment, for charity.  We'll review the meal, what was good (no not the breadsticks), what was bad (is everything an appropriate answer?), and try to figure out the appeal of such a place.  I promise it's not just a bashfest.  Plus we'll talk about our plans for the biggest food weekend of the year, Thanksgiving!

The idea of a tide can apply to many things this week.  The melting of 7 feet of snow and the college football season as a whole.  Lots of teams rising with the tide (Ohio State, Arkansas, UCLA) and lots of teams being pulled out by the tide (Nebraska, Ole Miss, Notre Dame).  We take a look at the week that was in college football and talk about the current weather situation in Buffalo.

Greetings from the planet Hoth.  Or as you may know it, Buffalo.  Yes it's true we got 7 feet of snow over the past three days.  We'll recap it all and tell you why Governor Cuomo needs to think more before he speaks to us again.

As we embark on our 15 year college reunion my buddy Conaghan drops by to talk about how old we're getting, where Derek Jeter falls in the Yankee pantheon and which 80s star we'd like to see a sex tape of.
