Super Bowl Bonanza | Episode 45 | The 317 Sports Project
The 317 Sports Project
02/07/24 • 79 min
It's almost Super Bowl Sunday, March Madness is a little over a month away and The Ohio State Men's Basketball team hasn't won a game on the road in over a year. Episode 45 (Super Bowl Bonanza) is full of all the fun.. plus more. Penn & Pops BRING IT on this one, friends. Let's break it down some.
During "Around the World", Penn & Pops discuss their Super Bowl Predictions. Although Penn doesn't like his pick, he thinks the Chiefs are destined to get the ring. That means Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are sure to be front and center. Pops picked the 49ers to win it all and he could be absolutely right. They discuss the NBA as the All-Star break is close. Who'll win the Dunk Contest and can Steph beat Sabrina in the Super Shootout.
They also breakdown the Grammy's. Yeah, that's right, homies. They're more than sports. They discuss the winners, losers, performances and best outfits of the show. Fun fact, Snoop Dogg has been nominated 16 times and NEVER won a Grammy. Crazy, huh? College hoops is bucklin' down and gettin' ready for "Tourney Time." The fellas are convinced this season is gonna bring some of the best March Madness basketball; both Men's and Women's.
The Pacers have been on a slight slump and Pops discusses his perspective on why. His analysis is phenomenal as he discusses the injuries and lack of defense that could be causing' the mishaps. Buddy and Obi are defensive liabilities and he's confident one or both of them could be moved in the offseason. They're also missin' Benn Mathurin emphatically.
In The Fine Print, Penn & Pops talk about Klay Thompson's whoa's as he's been benched a couple/few times at the end of games. They agree his future in Golden State could be close to the end. They're also not big fans of the Commanders hiring of Dan Quinn and Kliff Kingsbury. They're pretty sure they'll continue to fail miserably... unless they get Caleb Williams in the upcoming NFL Draft.
Episode 45 is full of all the goodies and we hope you absolutely love it. ✌🏿✌🏾

We Love You, Bubbaville | Episode 58 | The 317 Sports Project
The 317 Sports Project
10/11/24 • 66 min
Our brother, Stephen, passed away October 9th, 2023. To celebrate his legacy we decided to record Episode 58 on the anniversary.. and we're happy we did. We got to laugh and discuss sports; something he loved a great deal. We love you, Bubbaville. Always thinkin' of you.
During the Episode, we discuss the NFL season lulls. Too many injuries, officiating and rule changes have left the game somewhat boring to us. Can it be fixed? We don't know, but we're definitely fed up and (low key) over the brand as a whole. We also discussed the James' tenure as LeBron and Bronny start their 1st season as teammates. Could be a "beautiful disaster."
In Naptown News, we cover the Colts' early woes and the Indiana Pacers upcoming season. With the addition of James Wiseman, they're lookin' to take another step forward. Is 52 wins possible? We sure as hell think so. Congrats to Tyrese Haliburton on becoming the face of Puma Basketball.
Episode 58 is an hour full of the good stuff.
Lots of Sports. All the Fun. ✌🏿✌🏾

In Ballard We Trust | Episode 7 | The 317 Sports Project
The 317 Sports Project
05/10/22 • 74 min
After a quick break for the Mock Draft & Live From the Draft House presentations, Penn & Pops are back to their usual antics. Clownin’, jokin’ and talkin’ sports... especially INDY sports. In Episode 7, they do just that. They kickoff the show by sendin’ some good vibes and special shoutouts to some of their new favorite friends and fans. They LOVE them some Indy sports fans.
In the NBA Playoff Recap segment, they discuss each series in detail. They offer their perspective as the Conference Semifinals are chippy, aggressive, competitive and full of fantastic play. They’re holding on as they picked Phoenix to win it ALL. The Suns looked great in the 1st two games vs Dallas, but will they take the same swagger to Dallas? They also discuss “The Proccess’” injury. They agree that if he plays, they have a chance, but without him.. it’s a wrap. They also discuss the most intriguing series of the NBA Playoffs; Golden State vs. Memphis.
The NFL Draft is officially over and everyone’s is settled in and digested. Penn & Pops are enthusiastically optimistic about the Colts’ selections as they filled key holes on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. QB, Matt Ryan, will have more weapons at WR and TE as Alec Pierce and Jelani Woods will be expected to make in instant impact. Safety, Nick Cross, and OT, Bernhard Raimann, could also become crucial components to the success of the franchise; in both the immediate and future. In Ballard They Trust.
The Fine Print delivers all types of fun as Penn & Pops discuss hip hop music, the Bad Boys movie franchise and of course... Samuel L. Jackson. Gotta love SLJ.
Enjoy Episode 7, friends.

Season 3 Finale | Episode 54 | The 317 Sports Project
The 317 Sports Project
07/01/24 • 79 min
In perfect Penn & Pops style, we realized we did the whole first segment of the show without the television backdrop on. Class "Us." It's fine. We're fine. Other than that, Episode 54 "Season 3 Finale" is a DOOOOOZIE of a finisher. We can't believe we're more than 50 episodes in and still rockin'. During the show, we discussed the upcoming Summer Olympics, the Pacers' NBA Draft class of 2024 (along with surprise picks), MLB, NHL, and of course... Caitlin Clark.
Enjoy the Season Finale, peoples. We'll see you in August!! ✌🏿✌🏾

Do Wah Diddy Dumb | Episode 57 | The 317 Sports Project
The 317 Sports Project
09/27/24 • 66 min
That's right. We said it. Sean "Diddy" Combs is an absolute dumbass. Along with that, The Fever made the playoffs, the Colts won their first game (finally) and Vince Carter's number is getting retired... TWICE. What a great time for sports and entertainment, huh friends? Episode 57 is right on brand w/ Penn & Pops.
During The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, Penn dishes on the Colorado Buffaloes 3-1 start to the season. He also explains why "Hollywood Heroes" are overrated and the Dallas Cowboys are an absolute disaster. Around the World is full of NFL & WNBA updates along with a segment dedicated to the stupidity of Sean Combs.
Naptown News is all about the Colts & Fever. AR-5 got his first win, although it was ugly and the Fever made the playoffs. Unfortunately, the Connecticut Sun are a terrific, battle tested squad so they have their work cut out for them. Either way, the Playoff experience will do 'em wonders in the future.
Enjoy. Episode 57, peeps. Lots of Sports. All the Fun. ✌🏿✌🏾

It's All Downhill From Here | Episode 69 | The 317 Sports Project
The 317 Sports Project
05/10/25 • 79 min
As the sports (they care about) start winding down, Penn & Pops set their focus on the NBA Playoffs and the NFL Draft (through the Colts perspective). The Knicks & Pacers are currently up 2-0 and could be headed towards an "Old School Battle" in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Thunder seem to be the team to beat in the West, but with Steph Curry hurt, Ant Man (and the Timberwolves) could be in prime position for an NBA Finals run.
Penn & Pops also discuss Byron Scott's sexual assault allegations, Caitlin Clark (and the Fever) and Gregg "El Jefé" Popovich's legacy.
Enjoy Episode 69, homies. ✌🏿✌🏾
