Show Notes

On today’s episode of The Sporting Tribune Today, your hosts — Arash Markazi, Grant Mona, and Anwar Stetson — along with guests Eric Lambkins II and Mykell Mathieu, bring you an inside look at two big baseball stories: covering the NBA All-Star Game as media, and the early Dodgers spring training atmosphere as teams ramp up for Cactus League play.


Segment One — Behind the Scenes Covering the All-Star Game

The group opens with a roundtable on what it’s like to cover the NBA All-Star Game as part of the media, sharing firsthand experiences from player availability, press access, and the energy of the event. They break down the buzz around player interviews, how All-Star Weekend feels from the press box versus the stands, and what moments stood out most — from surprise performances to memorable sound bites and storylines that defined the weekend.


Segment Two — Dodgers Spring Training Vibes & Lambkins on Bortolow Contact

In segment two, the conversation shifts to MLB as spring training gets underway. The panel discusses the feel of Dodgers camp, including the influx of 32 non-roster invitees mixing with established stars as Los Angeles prepares for another deep run. Fans and analysts alike are buzzing about the energy at Camelback Ranch as pitchers and catchers have already reported and early workouts begin, signaling that Opening Day is just weeks away.

Eric Lambkins II also shares a unique angle on his contact with former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr., reflecting on the intersection of NFL history and current L.A. sports culture — giving a rare behind-the-scenes perspective that goes beyond the field (context on DeBartolo’s legacy as a five-Super-Bowl winning owner is a touchpoint for this conversation).
