From the Cheap Seats

Ep. 125 11/25/19 What Makes A Great Rivalry Game?

National sports talk radio with a Carolina twist. In the wake of being blown out in San Francisco, should the Panthers tun back to Cam Newton? The Saga of Penny Hardaway and James Wiseman... Why is the NCAA pretending to care about AAU players getting paid? We've got a former runner with some inside info about how things work. Meet Mr. B. Is Colin Kaepernick still relevant? Did the NFL do him a solid? Or this part of a bigger ruse? And what's up with that t-shirt? The Lee County High School Yellow Jackets got through the first round of the NCHSAA football playoffs unscathed. Head Coach Steve Burdeau joins for a recap and a look ahead at Round 2.

Ep. 124 11/18/19 One Million One Hundred-Fifty Thousand Pennies

National sports talk radio with a Carolina twist. In the wake of being blown out in San Francisco, should the Panthers tun back to Cam Newton? Is LSU worthy of the #1 spot in the nation? How good is Ohio State, really? And did Oklahoma's loss to Kansas State screw everything up for the Big 12? Max Scherzer was a late scratch for Game 5 of the World Series. Was this part of an elaborate scheme to play an epic Game 7? Southern Lee falls to Union Pines in one of the most epic football games ever played. The teams traded five touchdowns in the final 8 minutes. We recap the roller coast ride that left everyone in the stadium breathless. Diamond Dave Caplan made an appearance to talk about Tiger Woods. Now that he's caught Sam Snead at 82, what's the over-under on career wins? And, oh yeah, the Charlotte Hornets are horrible. Guess what, though... So are the Warriors.

Ep. 123 10/28/19 An MLB Conspiracy?

National sports talk radio with a Carolina twist. The new NCCA overtime rule? First, who even knew it was a rule? Second, who thought it was a good idea. Throw that one back. Wisconsin gacked one away against the Fighting Illini, led by Lovie Smith's beard. How bad is the Badgers' loss for the rest of the Bog Ten's National Championship hopes? The Cowboys beat the Eagles in primetime. Have things stabilized in Dallas? Or is Philly worse than people realize. Then we took a call from Lonnie Cox, as his Union Pines Vikings prepare for this weekend's matchup with the Southern Lee Cavaliers. This game may wind up being the most important game of the season in the Tri-County 6 Conference. Head Coach of the Lee County Yellow Jackets, Steve Burdeau checked in and talked about this weekend's contest and last week's BIG announcement, as Lee County's Desmond Evans - the #1 player in the state - committed to the UNC Tarheels. Finally, we took a quick look into the atrociousness that is the Cincinnati Bengals. The Zac Taylor era is nothing short of disastrous, and it isn't going to get better any time soon. Chris offered up a solution, but are the Bengals listening? All this and more on this week's installment of 'From the Cheap Seats.'

Ep. 122 10/21/19 Everybody Can't Be Sean McVay

National sports talk radio with a Carolina twist. After a couple weeks off, we're back! And, man, did we pack a lot into this one... It started with a quick rundown of the weekend's NCAA action. Then we took a call from Union Pines head coach, Lonnie Cox, as he prepares for this weekend's matchup with the Lee County Yellow Jackets as a... wait for it... Forty-Six point underdog. After that things got crazy. We were joined in studio by ten year old prognosticator extraordinaire, Finley "Don't Call Me Finn" Benton, who spit fire. When we's hosting Gameday fifteen years from now, you'll be able to say you heard it right here where it all began. We closed with the NFL. Should Tony Romo be considered for the impending head coaching vacancy in Dallas? After two straight home losses, is Kansas City OK? In Atlanta, Dan Quinn is a dead man walking. And OBJ showed up this week, but the Browns still can't beat anybody. All this and more on this week's installment of 'From the Cheap Seats.'

Ep. 121 10/14/19 Finley's Football Forecast

National sports talk radio with a Carolina twist. Looking back at Week 3 in the NFL, you're forgiven if you can't remember who's playing quarterback for any particular team. The guys we all know and love are dropping like flies. There's a quick recap of local high school football, and the guys come up with a BRILLIANT idea to make sure everything in high school tennis is on the up and up. Does anybody else remember when Jim Harbaugh was the hottest coach in the country? Has UNC gotten all of their losses out their system? Are the Cowboys really going to win the NFC? And, oh yeah... some guy named Kyle Allen took Cam Newton's job. All this and more on this week's installment of 'From the Cheap Seats.'

Ep. 120 9/23/19 Kyle Who?

National sports talk radio with a Carolina twist. Week 2 of the NFL season is in the books. We take a look at the 2-0 and 0-2 teams. Is that record a clear indicator of what's to come? Cleveland should get well against the Jets tonight. Anyone that's "rolling their eyes over Sam Darnold's case of mono has obviously never had it. Ben Roethlisberger. We called "retirement" two years ago. Has that prophecy finally moved closer to fruition? And what about Drew Brees? At 40 years old, can he get off the mat? The ACC is a dumpster fire. Duke should reconsider their scheduling. And UNC has a shot to set the world record for "lost optimism". After two weeks of falling all over themselves, Tarheel fans will lose their minds if App State pulls the upset this weekend. And, oh yeah... Cam Newton memes are the best.

Ep. 119 9/16/19 Madea Goes To The NFL

National sports talk radio with a Carolina twist. Week 1 of the NFL season is in the books. What did we see that really means anything? Is Lamar Jackson for real? Or are the Dolphins just that bad? What the hell happened in Cleveland? Should all the talking heads shut up? Or was this just a blip on the radar? Is it even fair that the Patriots are going to add Antonio Brown? And if you don't know who Gardner Minshew is, you're forgiven. You're about to meet him and his 'stache. All this and more on this week's installment of 'From the Cheap Seats.'

Ep. 118 9/9/19 The Debut of Gardner Minshew's Moustache

National sports talk radio with a Carolina twist. Football is right around the corner. Every fan base is hopeful, but some have to be asking themselves, "Is that guy REALLY going to sit out?" Dallas, San Diego, and Oakland are all missing huge pieces right now. Who's going to win each of those games of chicken? The king is dead. Long live the king. Daniel Cormier lost his title, and is probably headed off into the sunset? What's next for the big man? And what is his legacy? Coming into this week, there was no plan for a theme. One emerged, though. Inadvertently, the guys proved that fewer than six degrees of separation exist between Larry Holmes and Antonio Brown.

Ep. 117 8/19/19 Six Degrees: Larry Holmes to Antonio Brown

National sports talk radio with a Carolina twist. We welcomed World Champion Disc Golfer, Dave Feldberg, to the show. What follows is amazingly cool history lesson in disc golf and a clear picture of what's going on with the sport today. You may not actually DO IT, but we promise you'll at least giving the sport a try. After the lesson, Dave stuck around long enough to help us through a short discussion of fantasy tight ends. We wrapped up the show with the first legit installment in our conversation about athletes (and contributors) that ought ot be in their sports Hall of Fame.

Ep. 115 8/5/19 2019 Fantasy Quarterback Rankings

National sports talk radio with a Carolina twist. What are the Mets doing? Do they dare trade Thor? What would you do if your kid won $3million? And does that possibility make it OK to lock yourself in a room for six months, playing Fortnite? Getting ready for fantasy football, we take a look at the top dozen running backs in 2019. Our takeaway: Zeke is miles ahead of the pack. Captain Marvel wasn't as bad as people said it was, and Spider-Man isn't bad, either. But shouldn't Hollywood recognize that Idris Elba would be the greatest superhero of all-time? The big shocker, though... Trent legitimately had no idea who Idris Elba is. How is that possible?

Ep. 114 7/29/19 How Could Anyone Not Know Who Idris Elba Is?

National sports talk radio with a Carolina twist. We should be on vacation. What do you do when national sports are slow? Talk some North Carolina High School football, of course. The crew is joined by not one but two area head coaches. Lonnie Cox, of Union Pines, checks in and talks about his first year on the job. And Lee County's Steve Burdeau lays it all on the table. Harold Baines shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame. And Pete Rose should. Shane Lowry wins The Open and the headline is: "Tiger and Rory are going to play in a skins game." What does that say about golf?

Ep. 113 7/22/19 We Love High School Football

National sports talk radio with a Carolina twist. When Novak Djokovich wins his 21st Grand Slam title in a few years, will be ready to say that he's the GOAT. Over the last eight years, he's been miles better than Federer and Nadal. The problem? Nobody likes the guy. Chris cleaned his gutters, hit a hornets nest, and ridculousness ensued. Luckily, nobody died. The real issue, though, is: Why was his wife helping? NBA Power Rankings have been released. The Lakers are too low. Golden State is too low.

Ep. 112 7/15/19 Gutters, Hornet Stings, Djokovich & The NBA

National sports talk radio with a Carolina twist. In the first hour, Wolfpack great, Chris Corchiani, called in to talk reminisce about his days at NC State, the NBA, and around the world. The world turned upside down. How did all of the talking heads miss Paul George being a part of what was one of the craziest days in NBA history. It's bad enough for the Lakers that they missed on Kawhi Leonard. Now PG13 is in their building wearing the "other" uniform, too. Wow! The last time we'll say this... The U.S. Women's National soccer team deserves to be paid what they're worth. If U.S. Soccer can't figure out how to monetize the greatest team on the planet, then everyone in the organization deserves to be fired. Oh, and the MLB All-Star game is this week.
