S6E5 - James Franklin's failures; Luke Fickell takes his shot; A unique World Series; NIL in high school...no thanks26 Oct 202300:57:44
10-24-23 We Tackle Life show notes:

James Franklin is 1-9 against Ohio State...how does Penn State put up with that?

Luke Fickell takes his shot at OSU on Saturday night.

Ohio State hoops gets an exhibition win over Dayton. What are the Buckeyes' prospects this season?

The Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers both lost 100 games two years ago and were way under .500 last year. Tell me again how we need to be patient as Reds and Guardians fans.

Name, Image and Likeness payments to college athletes...should they be secret or public. And what would be the impact of NIL coming to the high school ranks?

If you want to attend the Ohio prep football playoffs, it will cost you a lot more to pay in cash than to buy a digital ticket. Why is that?

In the faith portion of the podcast, take care of the most important thing in life before it's too late to do so.

S6E4 - OSU vs. USC, Texas or OU...Buckeyes' All-American Sammy Sasso victimized again, this time by media corruption10 Oct 202300:52:35
10-8-23 Show Notes:

Ohio State rolls Maryland, but how would the Buckeyes do against Texas, Oklahoma or USC, after all three played epic games on Saturday.

Hey, Browns...draft that Arizona kid

Why you never draft a running back early or pay him twice

USC has Caleb Williams, who may win the Heisman Trophy again, and looks like he deserves it. But was that a character win for the Trojans against Arizona that revealed the presence of character or the absence of the same

Hey, YouTubeTV....if you're going to have 55 key plays, make one of them the one that decided the outcome.

Williams' two most spectacular plays show that he can do what no one else in college can do. At least, not both.

A Travis Etienne memory OSU fans won't like

NBC's coverage of the Ryder Cup now looms even worse than it was in the moment. And that's really bad.

Ohio State All-American wrestler Sammy Sasso nearly died when two teenagers car-jacked him in mid-August. Now Sammy is in a wheelchair and fighting to resume his career, which gave the Columbus Dispatch license to victimize him all over again in the name of tolerance and sensitivity.

Accountability matters...or should.

The faith portion of the podcast discusses prayer...what it is and what can happen when it's visited upon a seemingly-impossible situation.

Getting taken 11th by a team slotted at No. 20 is a benefit

Lions get a tackle everyone loves

What are the Cowboys doing?

Bengals take Jamar Chase

S3E47 - NCAAFB OT changes; OHSAA playoffs expand; Fields' epilepsy; LeBron's Tweets ignore his powerful story23 Apr 202100:52:08
Friday, April 23, We Tackle Life podcast:

NCAA changes college football overtime rules

You might not like the specifics, but the reason is sensible

Likewise, OHSAA expands high school football playoffs

High school coaches hate it and contend it's money-driven

They are right, but that's not necessarily wrong

Justin Fields makes a medical disclosure that may impact his draft stock

Someone is going to miss out on a great player

Terry Johnson leaves OSU's basketball staff for Purdue

It's an unusual move, but one that makes sense given Johnson's roots and future hopes

The sad part of Johnson's departure is the negative recruiting it may birth

Musa Jallow is Charlotte-bound

LeBron takes to Twitter to voice his displeasure, which only inflames a situation he could instead have great impact with his own personal story of triumph and the good it would do for others if they emulate it.

S4E35 - Michigan QB steps in it; Stroud's hoops dare; William White...and the power of dying in peace30 Jul 202200:48:41
7-29-22 We Tackle Life podcast:

It's been a dozen years since Tattoogate....really?

The goal at Big Ten Media days is to not say anything stupid

Michigan QB Cade McNamara failed the test

So did C.J. Stroud, but in a much more harmless way

It's national title or bust for the Buckeyes. Nothing else will suffice

Under Armour writes a $67 million check to UCLA

Do we get white smoke from the Vatican chimney when the NFL makes up its mind on Deshaun Watson?

Amari Cooper will be a steal for the Browns

You can thank Jerry Jones' stupidity for that

The NFL's mandatory vaccine program was, like all mandates, a failed endeavor

Free agency beefed up Bengals' OL, but maybe Jackson Carman will, too

The perfect serendipity of Chris Spielman's two Hall of Fame ceremonies

William White: powerful peace in death

A friend displays the same power in the same circumstances as William White, and it charts a course for us all.

S3E44 - NCAA OKs transfer adultery; Justin Fields so-called 'drop,' New $uitor$ for Efton Reid; Pride ruins everything16 Apr 202100:49:17
Friday, April 16, We Tackle Life podcast:

The NCAA OKs a one-time transfer of all college athletes without a waiting period for eligibiliity

This is the right thing to eliminate favoritism

This is also a move fraught with considerable peril

Coaches will hate it, but that's not the reason it's dangerous

It could, in combination with NIL, change how fans view college athletics

The rumors are rampant that Justin Fields is dropping in the NFL draft

Don't forget, this is the Silly Season

Does a player actually drop before they are drafted?

Alternative explanations may not be sexy, but they may explain Fields going fifth among QBs

Ohio State five-star center target Efton Reid delays his decision

LSU and FSU are now involved. That'$ not good new$

The greatest failure of the English language is its lack of another word for pride

That failure causes us to view pride much differently than God does, and that can have severe eternal consequences.

Efton Reid about to decide on Pitt, UVA or OSU

What Reid will gain from each school, and what he'd be missing in each locale
