Best NFL Rivalry: Packers/Bears vs. Patriots/Everybody May 06, 2020

Show notes

When you think of great sports rivalries, a few certain examples come to mind: the Red Sox and the Yankees; the Lakers and the Celtics; Duke and North Carolina.

With NFL teams, there is no clear-cut answer. On today's Boxed In, Liz Loza is joined by senior NFL reporters Charles Robinson and Frank Schwab to debate the NFL's marquee rivalry. While Frank argues it's the classic midwestern matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers, Charles takes a more current approach and argues that it's the New England Patriots versus the world.

Best month: April vs. September Apr 29, 2020

Show notes

What's the best month of the year if you're a sports fan? Well, aside from every month before March 2020. It's a simple question with a not so simple answer.

Matt Harmon, Hannah Keyser & Jay Busbee debate two of the top contenders on today's Boxed In. Is it April, with The Masters, the NBA and NHL playoffs and the optimism that comes with the start of baseball season? Or is it September, when the NFL and college football roll into town and the MLB wraps up its regular season with meaningful baseball every night?

More important to the Chicago Bulls: Phil Jackson vs. Scottie Pippen Apr 27, 2020

Show notes

Every Batman needs a Robin. Every John Lennon needs a Paul McCartney. Even peanut butter doesn't reach its delectable heights without jelly picking up the slack from time to time.

We all know Michael Jordan is the GOAT that led the Chicago Bulls to six championship titles in the '90s. But who was the second banana during the Bulls Dynasty?

On today's Boxed In, life-long Chicago Bulls fan Andy Behrens — yes, even during the Eddy Curry years — presides over the arguments of Yahoo's Seerat Sohi and Zach Schwartz to settle the debate over who was more important to the Bulls: Scottie Pippen or head coach Phil Jackson. It's the 7-time NBA All-Star and 8-time member of the NBA All-Defensive First Team vs. the 13-time NBA Champion. It's tenacious D vs. the Zen Master.

Biggest NFL Draft Bust: JaMarcus Russell vs. Akili Smith Apr 24, 2020

Show notes

With night one of the 2020 NFL Draft upon in the books, our own experts Matt Harmon & Eric Edholm take a look to the past and debate which high QB draft pick was a bigger bust, the Oakland Raiders selecting JaMarcus Russell in 2007 or the Cincinnati Bengals taking Akili Smith in 1999?

We dive into the background of each player, what the Raiders and Bengals gave up to select them and the legacy of "purple drank" honorable judge Andy Behrens presiding and rendering the final decision.

Best NFL Draft Class: 1983 vs. 1989 Apr 22, 2020

Show notes

The 2020 NFL Draft is on Thursday night and while the likes of Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa and Chase Young hope to have Hall of Fame careers, it'll be decades before we can say for sure where in the pantheon the class of 2020 will stand. Could the 2020 rookies reach the heights of the class of 2004 (Ben Roethlisberger, Eli Manning, Philip Rivers) or are we looking at a class of 2002 situation (David Carr, Joey Harrington)?

On today's Boxed In, the argument focuses on two of the greatest draft classes of all time. Pete Thamel will be the final arbiter for a potentially unfair debate between Terez Paylor who argues in favor of John Elway, Dan Marino and the class of 1983 and Charles Robinson, who makes the case for Troy Aikman, Barry Sanders and the class of 1989.

Best Athlete Cameo in a Movie: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar vs. Mike Tyson Apr 20, 2020

Show notes

It's the six-time NBA Most Valuable Player and champion versus the first heavyweight to unify the WBC, WBA, and IBF boxing titles. One scored the most points in NBA history with a graceful sky hook. The other became the youngest heavyweight champion of all time with an unstoppable right hook.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and MIke Tyson: two of the greatest athletes to step foot on the hardwood and canvas who also took their talents to the big screen.

On today's Boxed In, Vincent Goodwill judges the arguments of Andy Behrens and LaJethro Jenkins to settle the debate over who had the better comedy comeo, the Captain as pilot Roger Murdock in 1980's Airplane! or Iron Mike in The Hangover.

Worse Baseball Career: Michael Jordan vs. Tim Tebow Apr 17, 2020

Show notes

One was a Heisman-winning quarterback and a semi-successful NFL pro. The other was the greatest basketball player to ever grace the hardwood.

Both were pretty bad at minor league baseball.

Yes, it's Michael Jordan and Tim Tebow. One hung up the high-tops for questionable reasons to try his luck at double-A ball and, after the NFL didn't pan out for him, the other has been toiling away in the Mets farm system while moonlighting as a commentator on the SEC network.

On today's Boxed In, Dan Wetzel invites Jay Busbee and Mike Oz to settle the debate about which former super-star had the most embarrassing turn as a failed baseball pro: the Goat or the Mile-High Messiah.

Tiger King Fantasy Draft Apr 15, 2020

Show notes

If you’ve been on the internet in the last four weeks (where else would you be?) you may be a little familiar with a Netflix docu-series called Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness. There have been music videos, there have been memes and don’t fret– a Hollywood version is already in the works. But how can we tie it into sports?

With the 2020 NFL draft just over a week away and mock draft season already in full effect, Terez Paylor, Matt Harmon & Mike Oz indulge in a very special Tiger King fantasy draft. Who is the first overall pick? Is Joe Exotic a first rounder? Should fantasy owners be concerned about the cast’s off-the-field antics? All will be revealed as the measurables and intangibles are put to the test in the first ever Tiger King fantasy draft.
