Ball Hawks Podcast

Lucky number 13 episode and we're bringing some big news! We are PROUDLY part of the Dean Blundell Network on deanblundell.com !!! We are so excited to get this opportunity so early on in our podcasting journey. A special thanks to our buddy Ryan Hank (@always90four on Twitter) for vouching for us to get an interview with Dean. Big thanks to Dean and the rest of the team at the network for believing in our podcast and what we bring to the network! Find us over there shortly, where you can find our podcast episodes and blog pages! Let's go to work!

Football talks kick off (20:57) about our desperado friend, Tony Khan's Jacksonville Jaguars. Making the news for seemingly all the wrong reasons. Find out what happened to the Jags war room on draft night. We also jump into some TebowMania (28:29) news. Is this all a publicity stunt by the Jags? Does Tebow have a shot? Find out what Steve's hot take was on this topic!!

The news that has every NFL fan captured - the Julio Jones drama (47:16). Why are the Falcons considering a trade? Which teams are the most interested? What would it cost to acquire him? And is it worth the cost of acquisition? Find out the Ball Hawks' opinions on if/where Julio should go!

ARE YOU READYYYYYYY!!! Apologies in advance for Chris' wrestling line that he screamed out to get you hyped for Third Down (70:00). I promise it is worth the bleeding ears! This week the guys deviate from strictly football themes and go more sports across the board theme. We are so much more than strictly a football podcast!

We end the episode with a dive into the #AskTheBallHawks Mailbag (104:14). Thanks for the questions Ryan Hank and Mr. Teller (Trademark) for the questions. Find these guys on Twitter @always90four (Ryan) and @Marquise_35KD (Mr. Teller)! Find out which question got Chris fired up.

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.

The guys are back for the THIRD time in 7 days!! You asked for content and we delivered with 3 episodes and this one did not disappoint. A slow week in the NFL is no problem for the Ball Hawks Podcast! Find the podcast on Twitter @ballhawks_pod Steve @ssfisher87 and Chris @phillipschris12 Please be sure to subscribe to the podcast wherever get your podcasts from. Give us a rating and leave us a review! The guys discuss some news from around the league (9:39) to start the episode. Topics include: what the Washington Football Team should rename to, the Cleveland Browns getting former first overall pick Jadeveon Clowney, the Seattle Seahawks signing Aldon Smith (recorded before Smith was wanted on battery charges Monday), and the Baltimore Ravens bringing in veteran pass rusher Justin Houston. We decided to shake this episode up a little bit and do a piece that allows you to get to know us a bit better. (41:58) Steve and Chris talk about why they became fans of their respective teams. Followed by some favorite memories from their teams most recent (only for Hawks) Super Bowl runs. This week's Third Down (77:34) features role reversal with Steve picking the topic and match-ups and Chris on the hot seat to make picks. It was a hit with the topic being some classic post game NFL rants! Let us know if we missed one you think is worthy of mention @ballhawks_pod The most prestigious award this week goes to John E. Buchanan for being a loyal listener and one of the select few people to write us a great review! Thanks, friend!

We are back on the mic's Sunday and want to wish all the moms out there a very happy Mother's Day, especially our own mom's and our wives, who are the rocks of our family's!

We start the episode by talking about our #RunChrisRun event that spiraled well out of control into something that was a lot of fun. Chris is sore and tired but it was all worth it because we were donating to BC Children's Hospital Foundation! If you can, please click on the link to make any contribution possible! So many lives are impacted by this hospital! http://www.bcchildrens.ca/donate

We then transition to the news about DK Metcalf (13:29) running a blazing fast 100 meter dash against Olympic level sprinters. At 6'4" and 230 lbs, it's easy to tell which lane DK is running out of and he held his own for most of the race.

The guys talk about a few things from around the NFL (27:40) that happened this week. A slow week in NFL news but topics were, Frank Ragnow's record setting center extension, Eagles claiming Kerryon Johnson and Brandon Beane's recent comments that sparked debate about whether guys should be cut due to their vaccination status. **Disclaimer, we reveal why we did not touch on the Aaron Rodgers news- this is coming with a guest next week**

Talks then shift to a couple of jersey nerds talking rookie jersey numbers (48:25). Does your team have their rookie numbers decided yet? Is there a rookie jersey you want to buy? Let us know on our social media pages!

Third Down (60:36) was once again a fun battle. Find out what the topic battle was this week and why Steve gave a bit of a lecture to Chris at the end for missing some big topics. Let us know if your favorite was missed by Chris also!

We got a few more questions for our #AskTheBallHawks Mailbag (77:43) segment. Thanks to Ryan Hank, Petr Klima's Helmet and Juan Thousand Yards for submitting their questions! Everything from embarrassing football moments, to fantasy football rookie draft advice, to schedule hopes.
