This week John and Geoff take a look at the fast and dangerous sport of Alpine Skiing. In the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics there will be five main events: downhill, slalom, giant slalom, Super-G and combined. Listen now to find out what countries stand the best shot of winning and who the greatest Olympic Alpine Skiers of all time are.

We talk about the return of Josh Gordon, Case Keenum’s MVP run and what the rest of the season looks like for the Vikings and Browns. Sadly this was recorded before the firing of Sashi Brown so that is NOT covered in this week’s episode. It will, however, be a big part of next week. Orange and Purple Report is released every Friday so subscribe now and listen weekly for the best NFL teams coverage in all of the podcasting world.

The regular season has come to a close, but that means bowl season has just begun. John and Geoff take a look at the Championship games, how those played out, who’s in the final four and who the finalists are for the Heisman trophy. After all the recaps it’s time for the tasking task of drafting every single bowl game to cover. Leaving out the New Year’s Six and the Championship games, the guys go through round by round to determine who will do the write-up for each bowl. Results below, but we’re pretty sure John came out the winner based on his #2 and #3 picks alone. You can find this College Football section every Thursday until the games are done. Be sure to check out our coaching carousel as well as we keep that up to date.

John and Geoff are back for another week of sports and going over all sorts of news. First they dive in to local high school football champions, then hop on over to the world of soccer where Anthony Precourt is doing a little dance. Later they go through the important standings of the week across the NBA, NHL, NFL and College sports then wrap up with some fun and games and a quiz to determine if you’re smarter than an NFL referee.

Continuing our Winter Olympic theme, we present to you Snowboarding! Five major events for both men and women with a sport that’s only been around 20 years. We go over the history and the best athlete to have participated. Raw notes below. Tune in every Monday for a new Sport of the Week. Raw Episode Notes Quick overview of what it is People snowboard down a hill in different events Where/When did it start Snowboarding in general probably dates back to the first time someone was like, you know surfing? Lets do THAT, but on snow…on a board. And we’ll call it snowboarding ACtual history says Michigan resident Sherman Poppen came up with the original prototype, which was dubbed the “Snurfer” or “snow surfer”. This was different from a snowboard in that there were no bindings and had a rope on the front to help glide over the snow Developer of snowboard is a bit more tricky, but started to get poplar in the 1970s Dimitrije Milovich used cafeteria trays There’s more history, but it gets murkier officially adopted as a formal discipline at the Nagano 1998 Olympic Winter Games Who plays it Anywhere with snow Events Parallel Giant Slalom Boarder v boarder, at least 18 gates, if you’re faster you win, 400-700m course length Halfpipe Jumps, twists, fancy shtuff, 6 judges for a total out of 100, highest/lowest score removed Shaun White got a 100 in 2010 Winter X Games Snowboard Cross (added 2006) 4 to 6 athletes go down the course at the same time. Jumps, sharp turns, tight quarters Slopestyle (2010) Rails, tables, walls, etc, different elements to trick off of. Potential for coolest tricks and combos Big Air (added this year) Similar to the half pipe, but large jumps on a downhill slope. No side to side. Biggest wipeouts Best Known for the sport (gold/total)
