063 - No Sleep 'Til Zandvoort! - Summer break kickoff w/ Mark Schofield!

Welcome back Midfielders!
Just because it's the start of summer break, doesn't mean we're not ready to rock and roll with another JAM packed episode. We brought in the big guns early and got our ol' pal Mark Schofield to help us ease the pain of no F1 for a month, with some talk of what we might expect after the break, the NFL, Olympics, and bike racing! Hang out with us as we run the gambit with Mark yet again, on another fantastic episode!
13:12 - We break away from the Squish and Williams to talk a bit about McLaren, and what they need to do to really take it to the energy drink team in the latter half of the season. Mark think's they have the car to do it, on merit, and we're inclined to agree. Just do-you papaya bois!
22:10 - Most Impressive Driver? The M.I.D.? We go back to back, to back, and share our picks for the best drivers on the grid for the first half of the '24 season. We make some off the wall picks, as well as touch on the real contenders. Quality speculation as always.
27:05 - Most Impressive Team! We start tearing into the constructors and who's really made an impact in the first half. Haas stands out surprisingly, we love our bad boys, but it's great to hear Mark's got some love for PMag and the Hulk too. Blah blah, McLaren, blah. Alpine??
38:36 - We take turns talking tracks! We go around the table sharing our favorite moments so far, and those yet to come! We've got some real bangers on the schedule right out of the gate, with The Temple, Singapore and COTA on the not so distant horizon.
51:28 - NFL pick 'ems! Dan love's his pick 'ems! We each take a team from the NFC and the AFC to make our preseason Super Bowl picks! Patty steals a sleeper from Dan, and we wrap up with some more of our person Olympic highlights. Patrick stayed awake through all the cycling talk too! Bonus points!
Whew! If there's anyone that can make us earn our keep, it's Mark Schofield. The brains, the brawn, the subtle northeastern accent. He's one of our favorite ears to the ground in all things sports, but not our only! Make sure to stay tuned as we've got more guests lined up for the summer break! Extra big thank you to Mark for sharing his time with us, and be sure to follow his and our socials for all the latest on the NFL, F1, Olympic, Cycling, and randomness! Links below!
