Pod Through the Whistle

PTW Ep. 4 NFL Schedule Thoughts and continued baseball pain

Mike and Shane discuss the 2026 NFL Schedule and both commiserate over their favorite baseball teams...extended games at the end of the pod! Give it a listen y'all

NBA Pain, NHL Pain, and the Orioles are Two Scoops

In Episode 3 of Pod Through the Whistle, we get into the Magic blowing a 3-1 lead and why Jamahl Mosley getting fired didn’t exactly come out of nowhere. Mike gives his Celtics thoughts, we make our NBA picks for the next round, then shift to the NHL with Bruins talk, Penguins reality, and where Pittsburgh goes from here. After that, we hit MLB with Tarik Skubal’s injury, Mike’s Yankees soapbox, and a full Orioles crashout on the rotation, the defense, the culture, and the same pitching problems that never seem to go away. It’s NBA pain, NHL pain, and the full duality of baseball right now: the Yankees look like a real operation, and the Orioles look like two scoops. Plus a quick Mahomes update, Mike’s Minute, and the usual real fan chaos.

We also do an MLB vibe check, hit quick NBA and NHL playoff check-ins, talk about teams we wish would’ve won it all, and mix in some fun with Keep 3 Cut 3 and Mike’s Minute. Real sports talk, real opinions, a little dad life, a little faith, and none of the fake hot-take nonsense.
