Then of course we have to touch base on the epic 64 foot putt masterfully delivered by JJ Spaun on the final hole of the 2025 US Open at Oakmont, giving him a birdie on the 18th hole, giving him the first major championship win of his journeyman career, and giving the USGA only one person to finish the tournament under par, all around amazing stuff for us golf fans out there!And with summer break officially upon us, we close out the show with good news from the world of MLB, baseball is back!

Folks the month of May is flying by, and the NBA Playoffs are in full-swing, but without a plethora of their biggest stars. Milwaukee bowed out to Indiana after a historic collapse, begging the question now that the Bucks are clearly removed from championship contention, will Giannis finally seek out greener pastures? Elsewhere in the east the Boston Celtics are in big trouble with things getting much worse post-recording of this episode due to the Tatum injury, which means we may be living in Haliburton's world! On the other side of the country, Steph Curry is also battling an injury leaving Jimmy Butler to try and strap the Warriors on his back for this playoff run, but does any of that matter when OKC and Denver are still alive as the top seeds? It's a NBA Playoffs catchup episode, give us a call at 833-JABRONI [833-522-7664] with your thoughts and wishes for the NBA Finals!

Hachi machi, what a world of news the month of April delivers to us sports fans, Black James has delayed his trip abroad and White James has to wait for a new pope, but between all of that is a wide berth of news we need to address on this episode of the pod! For pete's sake, the NFL Draft is in our backyard up in Green Bay this year so we'll prognosticate a bit about what will happen in the top three picks and wonder aloud if Prime Time's progeny will hear his name called at such a time (spoiler alert, NOPE).Then we turn our attention to the NBA playoffs because the Milwaukee Bucks are in dire straits losing to our rival Indiana Pacers, will Giannis experience his third straight 1st round exit after bringing home a ring just the other day? Will Luka and the Lakers keep network executives happy by making a deep run? Is OKC truly dominant enough to back up their 50pt victory over the Grizzlies?And at long last, Rory McIlroy joins the pantheon of golfing glory by capturing his 1st green jacket at the Masters, therefore capping off his chase for the career grand slam, but not without making the entire CBS audience clutch our pearls as we watched him lose and regain and lose the lead again throughout that Sunday afternoon before winning the tournament in a playoff against Justin Rose, so stick around for the end of the show as Black James and White James reminisce on what has been a wonderful month of sports memories!|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Visit us at www.blackannndwhite.com||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Call the Jabroni Hotline, share your hot takes! 833 - JABRONI833 - 522 - 7664|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||00:00 - Intro01:29 - RIP Pope Francis03:25 - NFL Draft in Green Bay this year!09:14 - Trying to guess the top three picks17:29 - Where will Shedeur Sanders land?24:54 - Who will the Packers pick?37:56 - NBA Playoffs ~ Are the Bucks in trouble?48:18 - OKC demolishes Memphis by 50pts51:33 - Are the Lakers in trouble?54:45 - Winners of the 6th Man and Clutch Player of the Year56:53 - PGA ~ Rory won the Masters!

Dem early 90's Cowboys fell short, the late 90's Broncos fell short, the early 00's Patriots fell short, but somehow someway Kansas City won yet another game by less than seven points for the 17th time this year, which has a lot of folks on high alert for highway robbery, also known as rigged results gasp which has sparked the first topic of today's show - did the Bills lose or did the referees win?? Afterwards, White James will consider the Philadelphia Eagles status as winners of the NFC Championship game and ponder if picking up Saquon Barkely will go down as the greatest free agent signing in NFL history. Then Black James will breakdown the latest advancements in televised golf, and we celebrate the historic Australian Open victory by American player and child of the midwest Madison Keys, her first major title!!

Wow, at long last the 2024 college football season comes to a close with The Ohio State University planting their victory flag over Notre Dame in a captivating championship game, so sit back as Black James and White James recap the entire season, discussing our thoughts on the first iteration of the 12 team playoff, what were our favorite upset wins from the year, which teams surprised us the most, and what are we already looking forward to regarding the 2025 season! Then of course we have to prepare for conference championship weekend in the NFL with the unlikely Washington Commanders lead by rookie sensation Jayden Daniels stepping into the madness of the Linc in Philly, and America's favorite underdog Buffalo Bills having to participate in the 6th Arrowhead Invitational. Folks, football season is quickly coming to a close, we've already crowned one champion, and a couple more trophies are gonna be handed out this weekend, let's gooooooooooo!

Wow! Who would've thought? White James and Black James recording a show LIVE to react in real time to the 2025 College Football Playoff National Championship game, with #6 Ohio State taking on #5 Notre Dame in Atlanta, meanwhile we're together in front of a television making real-time notes and observations on the game, with one segment talking all about the absence of any Deep South teams in this matchup, breaking up nearly twenty years of southern dominance, and spoiler alert we get invested in Notre Dame's late rally to try to win the game! Tune in folks, it's a great episode and slice of our lives, let's gooooooo!

Well, well, well, at long last the 2024-25 Packers season has come to a close, and it was the same way it started, losing to the Philadelphia Eagles while Green Bay suffers critical injuries along the way. Week 1 it was Jordan Love, but fast forward to Week 19 and we lost Elgton Jenkins annnd Devonte Wyatt annnd Romeo Doubs annnd Jayden Reed annnd Josh Myers all in the final game of the season!!! Stick around as Black James and White James lament what happened in the playoffs while trying to remain optimistic about what happened in the regular season, especially given the strength of the NFC North. Speaking of our division rivals, it was bittersweet watching the Vikings fall in their 1st round playoff game as well, the Bears still don't have a new head coach, and the Lions were able to chill at home enjoying their bye week, so we turn our attention to the Steelers failing to win in the playoffs yet again, and the Cowboys stealing headlines despite missing the playoffs because they no longer have a head coach with McCarthy walking away from that contract negotiation.And yes, it's a bit late in the calendar to still be discussing college football, but the newly expanded playoff has us dragging coverage out into late January, so stick around as we make our predictions between The Ohio State University versus The Notre Dame Fighting Irish as the clash to win the national championship next Monday, let's gooooooooooo!

Well, well, well, who would've thought Black James and White James would still be kicking it 25 years into the future, and yet here we are ringing in a new year with FIVE STRAIGHT DAYS of PLAYOFF FOOTBALL! We've got a lot to cover with two Big Ten teams, one Big 12...whoops one "SEC" team, and one staunch independent team facing off in the expanded college football playoffs' final four bracket. Then there's an entire weekend of NFL Wild Card playoff action, Black James laments the Packer's loss in the season finale to da Bears, and White James predicts the Vikings ship will sink even further after getting exposed by the Lions. All in all, it's a great time to be alive in America, rest in peace President Jimmy Carter.

Well, well, well, there are definitely some haters out there who think their point was proven right about SEC teams mistakenly being left out of the new 12 team playoff in favor of conference champions like SMU and Clemson who went to lose in the first round of the playoffs alongside Indiana and a beleaguered Tennessee. But that isn't going to slow down Black James and White James from looking forward to the quarterfinals taking place as we roll into a new year! Tune in for our previews and predictions of the biggest bowl games, our recap of the fan-favorite Pop Tart Bowl, and we lament the likely early playoff exit of the Green Bay Packers reeling after yet another loss to yet another division opponent, begging the question, are the Vikings legit?? Let's goooooo!

Well, well, well, remember when the Milwauke Bucks were off to a horrible start to this season? Fast forward a couple of months and we get to see Giannis dominating the paint, Lopez in great defensive form, and Dame Time showing up with perfect timing from beyond the arc to overwhelm Oklahoma City's league leading turnover margin and walk away in the fourth quarter for a win in the 2nd annual mid-season tournament! But, despite our hometown victory, does anyone really care about the NBA Cup?And surprise surprise, the MLB hot stove season has lead to more talent being traded away from the Brewer's due to high costs of retaining baseball's best bats and arms, but are we doomed to remain a develop+dimiss enterprise? Thankfully we have special guest host Hebrew Hammer on the show this week to walk us through all of the trade talk and rumors happening across the big show's offseason this winter.Plus how could we forget about something happening for the first time in the history of our show, a 12 team college football playoff! So we'll preview all of the first round playoff games with predictions and statements on which matchups are the most intriguing, let's goooooooo!!! Join our ESPN College Football Playoff bracket game via the link below!https://fantasy.espn.com/free-prize-games/sharer?challengeId=252&from=espn&context=GROUP_INVITE&edition=espn-en&groupId=764eb1c4-80de-4682-bf07-4a3d8b94304e

At long last the first ever 12-team college football playoff bracket has been set and released for us all to debate over, except there really isn't much to disagree with regarding who was left out vs who was accepted into the tourney. Instead, the current preferences for conference champions earning a bye week has caused consternation for those who think top seeds deserve the easiest path, but Black and White James will delve into all of the details!But somehow this historical expansion of the collegiate post season isn't the only historic event happening this week with 6x Super Bowl Champion Head Coach Bill Belichick shocking the entire football world by deciding to take a job leading the University of North Carolina football team! Wow! So buckle up while we discuss the pros vs cons of such a bold career move, and take bets on how long it takes before Chapel Bill drops out of college! Let's goooooo!

Absolutely shocked! The entire world was counting out the Wolverines in this year's version of "The Game" going up against an Ohio State team literally built by millions of dollars and hyped across the nation as a contender for the College Football Playoff championship, but somehow someway Michigan marched into the Horseshoe of Columbus and walked away victorious for the 4th straight time in this rivalry series, wow! But Thanksgiving delivered far more than leftovers for folks, with TONS of football drama taking place throughout the week - da Bears find yet another way to lose at the last second by failing to manage the clock, Georgia gets pushed around by Georgia Tech for 8 overtimes, and MNF is graced by the full Jameis Winston experience.Tune in folks, White James has plenty to share about how to improve the current CFP format and Black James has plenty of thoughts about the state of gamesmanship following a weekend filled with brawls and fisticuffs. Lets gooooooo! Visit us at https://www.blackannndwhite.com/

What a wild weekend in football, we saw three SEC teams lose when it mattered most, and we saw Indiana make crucial self-defeating mistakes when it mattered most against Ohio State, so Black James has plenty to ponder as the 2024 regular season of college football draws to a close across Thanksgiving weekend, wow! But stick around because that means White James has a full slate of recommended basketball and football matches to watch in between your first, second, and fourteenth helping of stuffing this holiday weekend, let's goooo!~ Feast Week TV Viewing Schedule ~ Tuesday 11/26 Houston vs Alabama 7PM TBS Duke vs Kansas 8PM ESPN Wednesday 11/27 Thunder @ Warriors 9PM ESPN Thursday 11/28 Bears @ Lions 11:30AM CBS Dolphins @ Packers 7:20PM NBC Friday 11/29 Minnesota @ Wisconsin 11AM CBS Saturday 11/30 South Carolina @ Clemson 11AM ESPN Miami @ Syracuse 2:30PM ESPN Texas @ Texas A&M 6:30PM ABC Sunday 12/1 Eagles @ Ravens 3:25PM CBS

Look who snuck back into the Midwest, calm down folks Black James is back on the pod to recap his trip to NYC with White James, who himself has some big new to share consider his entrance into the transfer portal, uh oh! But don't worry folks, the pod is sticking together because we have a lot to discuss regarding the current controversy of college football playoff predictions trying to balance the look of Indiana against the record of Georgia. Then we review the ugly yet bodacious Packer victory against Chicago last week, and preview the treacherous matchup against our foes San Fransisco who are headed to Lambeau Field this weekend. Get ready folks, the football season is coming into focus!

Whoa, hold up a minute, the Black and White pod is talking about soccer nowadays? Yep, strap on your cleats and join us on the pitch for a special episode diving deep into all things Premier League annnd Champions League! In fact, we're joined this week by special guest and long time listener Tim B. to share all of his knowledge regarding the drama with both Man City annnd Manchester United, plus the dynamics of trying to build a championship contender through the US Men's National soccer team, so take notes Bob Bradley (fired), Jürgen Klinsmann (fired) Bruce Arena (fired), Gregg Berhalter (fired), or whomever is trying to turn this all into chicken salad at this point! Then of course White James will update us on the big rivalry game between the Bears and Packers this weekend, can Love+company keep up the winning streak against the team down south? Plus we continue to monitor the Bucks situation, can Milwaukee maintain any strength in the east or is it time to consider wild trade options?? Tune in folks, let's goooo!

We got some very unexpected results this past Tuesday...from the College Football Playoff committee! For the first time in history the field of play has expanded from four to twelve teams, so White James and Black James begin to predict how much of the field will be stuffed with B1G Ten and SEC teams versus the rest of the saturday league. And unfortunately the results last Sunday were of no surprise with the Detroit Lions continuing to dominate in Lambeau of all places, so we need to take a step back and wonder if they're doing something better than us, instead of playing the blame game, otherwise the NFC North will be lost forever. But that won't stop White James from reconsidering the blame he put upon coaching for the Bucks horrific record to start the NBA season, maybe just maybe the personnel needs to be replaced, they did great in the recent past but time has caught up with them.

At the time of posting, Black James would like to extend an immense congratulations to the LA Dodgers for winning this year's World Series in dominating fashion. It's always nice to see a team with a history of victory live up to the hype...unlike Wisconsin football continuing to find ways to give away games this season, or the Bucks already looking like a listless shiip mere days into the new NBA season. But it's okay, White James is going to make some bold upset predictions about the upcoming weekend of college basketball, and Black James makes mid-seasons projections on multiple NFL team's chances to reach the playoffs (or beyond, spoooooooky!).

Holy smokes, what a week in sports as we reach the holy trinity of NBA & NFL & MLB being action all at the same time! White James kicks off the show with his report from going to Lambeau Field to watch the Packers defeat the Texans with a last second walk off field goal, then we pivot to the surprising upset of former #1 Texas at home to Georgia's ferocious defense, and Black James ponders if his Wisconsin Badgers can bring back their powerful defense to challenge Penn State this upcoming saturday night!And at long last, we get to bring NBA talk into season eight of our podcast as LeBron James makes history taking the court with his son Bronny, but there's far more to discuss with a newly constructed NY Knicks team trying to challenge the defending league champions Boston Celtics from going back-to-back. Then strap in folks, because we've got ourselves the best possible World Series matchup this century, the number one and number two home run hitters in the entire sport are going to face off with Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani pulling up into the October classic with all-time franchises Yankees and Dodgers battling out for bi-coastal baseball supremacy. Let's goooooo!

Well, well, well, how quickly time flies when you're having a packed sports calendar! Look at us, already halfway through the college football season, so White James and Black James are going to breakdown which teams are in prime position to win it all this year, alongside which coaches and athletes are making a name for themselves across the national media with 7 of 14 weeks worth of regular season ball behind them. Then we'll touch base with how the Packers look after another Jordan Love driven victory before White James drives up north to watch the next Green Bay home game! And Black James has a report on how the L.A. Dodgers continue to masterfully navigate from the NLDS to their current lead in the NLCS. Strap in folks, another good episode has landed!

Talk about an October surprise folks, it looks like one race is all but over, but quite a few others are just about to heat up! First of all, we had a totally historic weekend of college football with #1 Bama annnd #4 Tennessee going down in upset losses, alongside five other top twenty-five teams taking an L in an epic Saturday of surprising results. Including in the frakas was the second straight B1G Ten defeat of Lincoln Riley's career, is this guy the real deal? And will the frontrunners of the CFP step up and perform next weekend? Red River is now an SEC battle, and Oregon might be playing against Ohio State three different times this year, yikes!In the NFL world, we bid adieu to yet another head coaching career with Robert Saleh being let go from his post only five weeks into the season. Don't fall for the media hype folks, Black James has a full rundown of who's to blame for the folly of the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Mets.Wait, who snuck that in there? Was that you Grimace? Oh no, wait, it was the Miracle Mets who ended our Brewer's season in spectacular fashion, yet the rest of the NLDS has been fantastic primetime playoff baseball to watch, so we'll have White James walk us through what comes next for Milwaukee's home team. And yes, we'll check in on how Love is doing with his return to the Packers, but he's gonna have to play second fiddle to Xavier McKinney, the man with 5 interceptions already this season! Let's gooooo!

Uh, oh, can Milwaukee keep up with the ghosts of October's past? Will the Brew Crew survive to see Halloween? These questions and more will be addressed as the Black annnd White podcasts enter's autumn with sports around the country continuing to spicen up like a knock off pumpkin latte from Meijer. But first, we need to review the month which was September, which wrapped up with an earlier-than-usual yet grander-than-ever matchup between Alabama and Georgia. Somehow Saban was watching from a suite and the Tide still won, yeesh. And the football gods offered up a similar come from behind story on Sunday with the Packers almost overcoming a 28 point deficit in their late rally loss to Minnesota, which means we have to begrudgingly ask...are the Vikings legit?

Get ready folks, the first guest of season 8 hops onto today's episode to reconnect us with the MLB season because our hometown Brew Crew have locked up the NL Central division! So stick around to hear what our buddy Hebrew Hammer has to say about Pat Murphy's first year as Brewer's manager, plus plenty of thoughts about our former manager Counsell after he migrated down to Wrigleyville, yikes! And of course we gotta discuss everything else going on around the big leagues, from Shohei's historic 50-50 clinching game, to the A's historic downfall from grace. Yes, yes, yes, Black James and White James have quite a few football takes on this week's episode as well....how about the first ever NIL holdout situation? Should the Packers stick with Malik after two wins? or will Sam Darnold stroll into Titletown en route to his inaugural MVP award???

Well, well, well, look who's moving on up in the world! Look no further, because the Black Annnd White Podcast is officially on the interwebs! https://www.blackannndwhite.com We got a lot to cover in this week's episode, the Wisconsin Badger's have walked away from the run game, meanwhile the Green Bay Packers picked up a Love-less victory solely because of the run game! College football is slowly starting to heat up with big conference realignment matchups coming up next weekend with USC playing at Michigan and Tennessee pulling their high-flying offense up to Norman, Oklahoma. And as Saturday football continues to bleed into Sunday football, Black James ponders what happened to the 2023 QB draft class and White James gives props to Jim Harbaugh's return to the NFL with the Chargers quickly taking on his philosophies. Stay tuned folks, the season is just getting started!

Boomshakala, we have hit week 2 of the football season and week two of our newest podcast season. The Packers have sadly failed to survive beyond week one, with a loss on the schedule and a loss on the roster with Jordan Love suffering a late game leg injury. But what difference does it matter if the story of this year is already written?? Because the 49ers and Chiefs already look like the two best teams in the league! Stick around as Black James recaps all of the near-upsets in college football last weekend (including one historic loss by an iconic program) and White James dives deep into the unique circumstances surrounding US Open champion Jannik Sinner. Okay!

Look at us, who would've thought? Not me! Not them! Who is them? Don't worry about it, because they're listening and you're listening to the fastest growing sports pod outta the magnificent Midwest! Black James and White James are back at it again, officially kicking off Season 8 of the Black Annnd White Podcast, and no better way to get started than with Black James watching Florida State set a speedrun record for fastest Power 5 team to knock themselves out of playoff contention, having lost their first two games of the season before Labor Day came to a close, wow! White James has some thoughts about the new 12 team playoff scheme, and we wonder if Clemson will ever return to greatness while staying committed to "old school" recruiting tactics. Then strap in folks, it's time for the NFL season to kickoff! It's going to be a fantastic opening weekend, two-time Super Bowl Champs Kansas City will play on Thursday, our Green Bay Packers are off to Brazil to play on Friday night, and the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets are debuting again on a Monday in September, fingers crossed all goes well!
