Listography: Episode 35 – 2020 MLB Special Pt. I

Well, times are strange these days with the coronavirus running rampant through our world. First and foremost, we wish everyone nothing but safety and good health during these times. Staying home and avoiding people can be difficult and a bit depressing, but we’re here to help!

Obviously (as you will find out when you start listening), we recorded our 2020 MLB Special before all the craziness went down, but we’ve decided to release it anyway. Nate Wadley once again stopped by to join the show and we went about things a bit differently this year. Because we talked for so long, we decided to divide the show into two parts and part one below is our all-time favorite MLB team. We’ve constructed a lineup of our favorite players at each position.

It was no simple task to narrow it down, but we’re confident that we each built a team that would not only be fun, but could also win some ball games. Part II of the MLB Special will drop later this week and in that episode we will talk more about the upcoming season.

For now though, give Part I a listen and let us know your all-time favorite team! Connect with us right here on the blog or follow us on social media, FacebookTwitter and/or Instagram to join the conversation. Thanks for listening and don’t forget to subscribe, rate and review on iTunes.

Listography: Episode 33 – Remembering Kobe

The world stopped Sunday afternoon. Kobe Bryant dead. How? Where? Why? So many questions and no sense to make of it all. Our heroes aren’t supposed to go like this. The suddenness of it all only added to the heartbreak and it became even worse when the news came out that his daughter Gianna and seven others were on board.

Kobe Bryant was a legend in every sense of the word. He was the NBA for a generation and, while it had only been a few years, he had so gracefully slid into retirement and family life. For all his awards and accolades on the court, he seemed to enjoy just being a dad off it.

It’s tragic that those nine individuals are no longer here with us and the mourning process throughout the league will take time. As for fans, we grieve for a man we did not know, but who played such a large part in our lives. This week, we sat down and counted down 8 Kobe Moments as we remember the life and legacy of one of the greatest to ever do it.

Share your Kobe stories with us as pay tribute to Mamba. You can join in on the conversation on our FacebookTwitter and/or Instagram. Thanks for listening and don’t forget to subscribe, rate and review on iTunes.

Listography: Episode 30 – College Basketball Preview

Get the puppies organized as Bill Raftery would say and let’s talk college hoops! Last time we were here, we were talking NBA ball, but now it’s time to shift our attention to the college game. The forgotten stars, the madness of March, the legendary coaches – college basketball has it all and so does this episode.

We’re joined by our good friend, and Purdue fan, Trent Palmer on this episode. We have the usual Mount Rushmore segment, but we follow with a couple of new ones that are sure to spark some debate. Below, we have also posted some article and highlights for your enjoyment.

There’s plenty to discuss within this episode and we don’t want to be the only ones giving opinions. You can follow us on our FacebookTwitter and/or Instagram and join the conversation. Thanks for listening and don’t forget to subscribe, rate and review on iTunes.

Listography: Episode 29 – NBA Preview Special

* cues up the NBA on NBC theme*

Listography is back, the NBA is back and all is right with the world again. Like ’96 Jordan, we are back and better than ever after some busy work schedules held us down. With NBA ball starting this week, we decided it was time to grab the mics and talk some hoops.

There are a million things we could discuss when talking NBA, but we decided to go all LeBron on you and give you not one, not two, but THREE Mt. Rushmore segments and a 3 Things We Predict.

Loaded with history, GOAT debates and of course some spicy predictions that might have us looking like experts in June, this episode was made for the basketball junkie. Pop in the headphones and listen to the Mount Rushmore of Point Guards, Wings and Big Men before heading over to our social media pages to join in on the debates!

Listography: Episode 28 – NFL Special Pt. II

College football has arrived and this week the NFL is back as well. The journey to the Super Bowl begins Thursday night with the Chicago Bears hosting the Green Bay Packers to kick off the 100th season of the NFL.

Before kickoff though, take a few minutes to listen to Part II of our NFL Special. First, we break down the USA Today’s ranking of the 100 Greatest NFL Teams of All-Time. A Herculean task by the USA Today, the list gets it right at the top with the ’85 Bears. After that, it is certainly up for debate so let us know your thoughts.

We’ve talked plenty about the past over the course of these two shows, but to finish this episode out we give you our biggest storylines for the upcoming season. Unfortunately we recorded this show before many headlines (looking at you, Andrew Luck) broke, but nonetheless, it’s a quality segment that ends with our Super Bowl predictions. Tsuleff decided to take the Saints, while Wad elected to go with the Chargers.

Listography: Episode 27 – NFL Special Pt. I

If you thought we were done with football then think again! We’re back for another week of pigskin talk, but this time we’re moving to the NFL. Whereas the last two weeks we looked at our favorites with college football, we’re back to Mount Rushmores in this week’s episode.

For years people have debated who are the best quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers, and we’re here to settle all that talk. The episode didn’t come without controversy though as Wad said something so silly in the running backs segment that Tsuleff couldn’t even get mad because he was so perplexed. We’ll let you listen to hear exactly who was left off.

There’s plenty to break down in this packed episode so listen and then share your opinion. There’s plenty of places to do so with our FacebookTwitter and/or Instagram where you can also go for more content. Thanks for listening and don’t forget to subscribe, rate and review on iTunes.

Listography: Episode 26 – College Football Special Pt. II

There’s plenty more to be discussed when it comes to college football and that’s why we needed a part two. We’re back with more football talk and in this episode we’re breaking down the best traditions, games and tailgate food.

There might not be another sport that feeds off tradition more than college football. Every school has multiple things that fans and players look forward to, but we agreed that one school is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to tradition.

As far as games go, our generation has been absolutely blessed. There have been so many incredible games and yet somehow we agreed on all three that we picked. Let us know if you have one that should be included.

Lastly, tailgate food might be just as important as the game so don’t skip the last segment. The party won’t be very live if the food is no good!

Summer is fading away and the fall is coming. With that, we’re headed to the gridiron! This week begins four straight weeks of football talk and we’re cramming more topics than ever into one show. In Part I of our College Football Special we break down our top three favorite uniforms, rivalries and stadiums.

It’s no secret that these were hard lists to narrow down. With new uniforms debuting every week, selecting just three schools was almost impossible. Rivalries run deep with passion throughout the sport, but we landed on the same three at the top of the list.

Listography: Episode 21

It’s summer and that means games! Video games, board games, lawn games…you name it, we’re going to cover it. This week we’re starting with video games and merging two of our loves: video games and sports.

What is the Mount Rushmore of Sports Video Games? What are 3 Things you want to see in the future of sports video games? Madden and NBA 2K ratings – did they get it right? We tackle all these hard hitting questions and more in the latest show, while also making pleas to Humongous Entertainment, the NCAA and EA Sports to please help us out.

We think the best segment though is in the middle of the show. Instead of Rave About Faves, we decided to do a draft involving the original 30 neighborhood kids from Backyard Baseball. It’s a segment loaded with nostalgia, which will have you rummaging through the computer cabinet drawers at your parents’ house in search of the old disc to pop in.

We appreciate you listening as always and don’t forget to subscribe, rate and review on iTunes and then follow Listography on FacebookTwitter and Instagram. We’ll be back next week with a new show!
