Episode 19 (August 26, 2020): Jeff Goodman, Basketball Insider @ Stadium
If you’ve followed college basketball in any way, shape, or form, you’ll recognize our guest this week – Jeff Goodman of Stadium! Goodman worked his way up the ranks at CBS, FOX, and ESPN before his new venture as the College Basketball Insider & Expert for Stadium. We talk about his rise to fame, his time at ESPN covering the Ball family (yes, lots of LaVar talk), and potential outcomes for the upcoming NBA draft.

BEERS: Jake picks Smooth Beats Miami, a selection from New York’s finest craft brewery, Finback. A New England IPA with coconut, Jake has some strong opinions on where it stacks up in the IPA world. Will is gifted a selection from a Colorado staple, Pike’s Peak Brewing Company – how good can a New England IPA from the Midwest taste?
BUSINESS: We’ve continued to see conflicting thoughts on travel and hospitality industries. Just one week after we declare Royal Caribbean the “Stock of the Week,” American Airlines cites that there is weak travel demand; experts say it will not rebound for years. What gives? We also break down the changes to the Dow Jones Industrial Average – are they making a play to try to weaken Apple? Also, ring the bells – cheers to the S&P 500, as they finally hit their all-time high, eclipsing $3,400.
BALLS: “Playoff sports” are in full swing. LeBron & his “dream team” look to put Damian Lillard and a red-hot Blazers team to bed, Giannis wins Defensive Player of the Year, and 3 teams in the Eastern Conference have completed sweeps in their first round tilts. We discuss our predictions for the remainder of the NBA finals. Leo Messi has decided he’s packing his bags in Barcelona after a long career with the La Liga titan – what will it take for him to end up in America? We also talk Mike Trout’s rookie card selling for nearly $4 million, Earl Thomas getting released by the Baltimore Ravens after punching his teammate in the face, and the NHL’s remaining schedule.
