Mike Tolsma and Evan Sally start the show talking about the Sabres season. With only 5 games left what have we learned? Who has disappointed? And is Sam Reinhart a more important piece than Eichel?

Steve Stich then joined the show. The guys talked about how Syracuse was able to make it to the Final Four, how Buddy Hield’s game will translate to the NBA and pick their NCAA Champion. They then talked about D’Angelo Russell filming his teammate Nick Young and what the fallout will be for the Lakers, if LeBron’s social media antics will have any effect on the Cavs and if the Warriors pursuit of the wins record will effect them in the playoffs.

Spring is finally here and boy could I not be happier. Over the course of the next couple of weeks I am going to hit you guys with my way to early MLB Division previews. Baseball is a long, sometimes too long – grind. April, all the way through October, has its peaks and valleys.

You will notice I will value depth – teams that can go to more than their active 25 man roster are typically the ones who can hang around into August and September. The dog days of May, June, and mid July are very, very real my friends.

First up! The AL Central.

In the wake of St. Bonaventure men’s basketball winning 9 out of their last 10, Marcus Posley scoring an incredible 47 points and with the NCAA Tourney on the horizon it was the perfect time to have Adam Bennett back on the podcast with Mike and Evan. You may know him from his exploits with @HFSCleveland, but he also works with St. Bonaventure as their PA announcer and knows this squad inside and out. What makes this team so special, will they make the tourney, St. Bonaventure’s connection to Buffalo and much more were discussed.

We finished the show chatting with Adam about the unrest going on with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the lack of leadership in the Cavaliers organization. Looking at you LeBron.

Hard Foul Sports Podcast: Episode 34 with Guest Matthew Coller

Posted on December 18, 2015 by | Leave a comment

matthew collerThis week on the podcast Mike and Evan are joined again by Matthew Coller of WGR550 Sports Radio in Buffalo and ESPN. The guys had an in-depth conversation about Bills and Sabres at this stage of their respective seasons. The rumors surrounding Steven Stamkos and what we thought of the ESPN documentary of the Super Bowl era Bills are also discussed. We also ponder the unthinkable: could the Sabres actually move Eichel in a Stamkos trade? The interview starts about 10 minutes into the show, first half is about the Sabres and we finish up with Bills talk.
