Ball Hawks Podcast

The guys were back in the lab for the SECOND time this week! You wanted more content, we listened, we delivered. This episode features special guest Andrew from the Alien Theorists Theorizing podcasts, found exclusively on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/show/38hrYEIlNzErO7XtfdZUaS?si=e4WpgdL4QhidaiRscp5wnA Andrew is a lifelong Detroit Lions fan and the second straight guest to claim their team has accomplished the 0-16 title. Andrew bring his passion of the Detroit Lions to the pod, to educate us on everything you need to know about #OnePride Football talks kickoff (12:05) with the news of Julian Edelman's 69% chance of retirement. Find out whether any of the guys think Edelman is worthy of being in the Hall of Fame. Let us know @ballhawks_pod whether you think he deserves to be inducted with a gold jacket. The guys then dive into the Matthew Stafford-Jared Goff trade (26:41) of a while back. It was obvious how highly Andrew thinks of Stafford, but outlined why this is a move the Lions fanbase should be excited for. Gears shift towards the NFL draft (39:40) which is only two weeks away. The guys get Andrew to react to a bunch of different scenarios for the Lions top picks in the draft. Who does Andrew think the Lions should draft at #7 overall? Or does he want them to trade up or down? An episode wouldn't be complete without another great Third Down segment (63:41). This week's topic is the best NFL nicknames! The good, the bad and the very ugly (and maybe slightly offside) nicknames of NFL players. Can Steve get his first Third Down segment win? Or will he keep the winless streak going like the 2008 Lions and 2017 Browns? Only one way to find out! A huge thanks as always to our listeners and supporters.

Do we have a treat for you this week!!! We have been hinting at it all weekend and it's finally here. The guys sat down with former Baltimore Ravens editor, creator of Man of the Crowd Podcast and the Late for Work feature on baltimoreravens.com, Sarah Ellison. Give her a follow on Twitter @sarahgellison. Sarah was gracious enough to do an ENTIRE episode with the guys and this is one all fans will want to hear. We started by asking about her time at BYU and how that led into an internship with the Baltimore Ravens, due to a certain Head Coach of the Ravens at the time. With a lot of hard work and some timely luck, Sarah landed a job with the organization she calls first class. Sarah went into a plethora of reasons why she thinks the Ravens embody that title. She also treated us to a story about the secrecy of the Ravens and how that really showed itself when the Ravens moved back into the first round in 2018 and drafted Lamar Jackson. We also got into recent news about Orlando Brown Jr being traded to the Kansas City Chiefs. We talked about trade value and how can you assess a trade in the immediacy or? The guys also picked Sarah's brain about the recent Bucky Brooks comments about the how the Ravens could select Ohio State's Justin Fields in the first round this Thursday at the First Round of the NFL Draft in Cleveland. She had a VERY interesting response! Finally, it wouldn't be an episode of the Ball Hawks Podcast without a Third Down segment. Steve and Sarah go head to head with this week's topic being, former Ravens first round picks. Sarah had the guys shocked within the first few seconds of matchup number 1! There were some really tough matchups, which were likened to having to choose between your children. Be sure to give us a review, rate and subscribe to us.
