Not because you liked the other team, but because maybe you had the opposing team's starting quarterback in your fantasy lineup? Maybe you have found yourself cheering for your team, but having to be cautious because your team's starting running back is playing against you that week in your fantasy league. Myles, from 60Days2Living joined me again to dive into a topic that I truly believe gets overlooked. Fantasy Sports can have an impact on the "true" sports fan when we don't even realize. Are fantasy sports good or bad for real sports? That's our discussion for you this week so listen in and let us know what you think! **SUBSCRIBE AND LEAVE ME A REVIEW**

**Follow me on iTunes, Stitcher, GooglePlay Music** Leave me a review because it most certainly helps me out! Twitter: @gametimeguru Facebook: The Gametime Guru Website: www.thegametimeguru.com Sports have made a major impact in my life, this podcast is a product of that. When I see the future of sports changing it makes me sad because I'm a true fan of both my country and sports. Now though, it seems we are at the beginning stages of a division among the two. The recent NFL Protests have stirred up quite a bit of discussion in the past week. While they have been occurring for the past year, it didn't get too much attention until President Trump's speech in Alabama late last week. Players have chosen to fire back and it is having a major impact on the sports world. This week I'll give you my take on the matter as I try to find a common ground. Which owners handled the situation appropriately? Can we take a page out of the college football playbook? (They don't come out for the National Anthem). I want to also go through some of the great things these protesting athletes have done to help their communities. Some things the media doesn't necessarily portray. Sports preach unity, teamwork, "togetherness," discipline, etc. My goal is to help us move forward rather than continue to fight with one another. Let's work to understand one another. Let's work to see the good in people, whether that's the President of the United States or the athletes that have protested. Let's work to find a SOLUTION!! Sometimes a solution means both sides will have to give a little bit, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Listen to my take, on the recent events in the sporting world.

During the Boise State home opener against Troy, I realized that something was happening to my body. I was either getting old, or I simply didn't prepare for the season as I normally do.

The NCAA makes a major profit off of the mainstream sports, but should the athletes truly receive compensation for this? Maybe they already are receiving compensation, not only through scholarships but other things as well (Experiences, Networking, etc.) We even touch base on the scenario of "taxes." Could the athletes truly even make enough to get by if they are receiving a paycheck? Listen in and we'll break it all down for you today. Special thanks again to Myles for joining me for another episode.

Do you want your kids to get "left behind" when it comes to basketball? If not, you should listen in as my guest Adam Rankin discusses how participating in Club Basketball can truly help with the development of the youth. On this episode Adam will teach us about: - The differences between Club Basketball & AAU - Benefits as well as possibly disadvantages of Club Basketball - Different club teams in the Boise, Idaho area. - Costs of participating in Club Basketball - How to find which Club Team is the best fit for your child If you are interested in playing at the collegiate level, you should consider looking into Club Basketball as a lot of Colleges are taking this into consideration when they are recruiting. In my honest opinion, I believe it is definitely worth the investment.

Myles joins me again for a podcast. This time it's more like a therapy session to be honest. We will take you down memory lane and discuss the loss against Nevada in 2010. The loss that took us out of the Rose Bowl discussion. The loss that changed the course of the program (we'll explain how). The loss that changed our lives. Think we're being dramatic? Listen and we'll explain what we mean. I guarantee most of you will be able to relate to us.

Glenn Deltondo from www.cowboysroundup.com sits down with me as we discuss his website, his passion for the Cowboys and talk predictions for next season.

I had the pleasure of meeting up with our Hockey Expert, C.C. Hawkley this week! Make sure to tune in and listen up. Maybe you aren't all that into the sport of Hockey because you don't know enough about it. If that is the case, this is the perfect episode to listen to! C.C. will help break down the game and explain why you should attend a Hockey event yourself. This was a great interview and he has a ton of information to share, now it's up to you to listen to it!

I took the show on the road this week to speak to my friend of over 14 years, Myles. Please excuse the echo on the sound, it just happened to be the room we were in, but it gives it a more "human" feel to it. Myles will talk about what the turning point in his life was that got him hooked on sports. We have a good discussion on his participation in football for his high school and the adversity that he faced during those times as well as talk about how he transfers some of those skills he learned through sports into his daily life. It's more than just a game, it helps you in real life, and rather than hearing it from me, listen in and hear it from Myles. ***IF YOU WANT TO LAUGH, LISTEN TO THE BONUS FOOTAGE OF OUR FIRST TAKE OF THE SHOW*** (It's a 15 second clip)

I have started asking myself, what is the point of the NFL Combine? I would like to give you a few points that have come to mind in the past few seasons on how we should improve the combine and discuss whether or not we should just eliminate it altogether. The Patriots are at it again in Free Agency. Get ready for another "reload" and a possible 14 win season. If your team is like the Cowboys and has limited cap space, it's okay. It means the team is doing something right. Can North Carolina win it this year? It's March Madness baby! LqqD2z45Yrd8cN6cekEf
