Editor’s Note: This all encompassing sports podcast mostly discusses American Football, College Football, and North American Soccer, but it also delves into NBA Basketball, MLB Baseball, Hockey and anything else the guys can think to talk about. This smart show will give listeners all the sports talk they need.
We were off last week due to just being really busy, but we are back with the first of two shows this week to make up for it.
For the first 50 minutes, Sean and Matt discuss the US Men’s National Team and how they looked in their two friendlies against Denmark and Switzerland. Then we look ahead to the Mexico game in a few weeks as well. Sean and Matt also do an overview of MLS over these past two weeks and discuss what stood out to them the most and what teams have work to do.
Then as Matt leaves, we transition over to our 2015 MLB Baseball Season Preview for the final hour and 10 minutes of the program.
Gary and Randy join Sean, along with several guests to discuss the season that is fast approaching. Joining the guys today are: Last Word on Sports Baseball Writer, Stephen Perez, Houndsports.com Baseball Writer, Mickey Romero, and a previous guest of the show, Antonio “Pacman” King. Everyone goes around the horn picking Division winners for both the AL and NL. Then we move on to select wildcard teams and then go through their playoff brackets all the way through to the World Series.
Football 2 Futbol airs live on Friday Nights following the Viernes de Futbol game on UniMas at Midnight EST and then is available immediately on-demand via these various platforms: I-Tunes, Stitcher, Tune-In Radio, Player FM, Blubrry.
Sean Garmer: is a crazy mix of Arkansas, Venezuela, and Texas all rolled into one. He studied Journalism at the University of North Texas and hopes to one day be able to return to finish his degree. Having been born in Arkansas, his favorite college team is the Arkansas Razorbacks, but all of his professional loves come from the DFW area, where he spent 20 years of his life. Sean’s first love is soccer, which began from having an entire latino side of the family that watched the sport. It then grew into him playing soccer all the way into high school and college. He was also able to do color commentary for the University of North Texas Women’s soccer team as well. He then transitioned that into several writing gigs on various websites, including being paid to cover every game in several World Cups. Sean is an avid FC Dallas supporter and has grown to love MLS above all other soccer leagues. His second sport is a tie between American Football and Basketball. Where Sean is a diehard Cowboys and Mavericks fan respectively, but also tries to keep up with other sports as much as he can.
Matt Pollard: is a Chemical Engineering Grad Student and Staff Writer for the MLS department at Last Word on Sports. When he’s not playing with fire, he’s going for a run, trying a microbrewery, or watching sports. His first sports love was the LA Kings, though MLS didn’t exist at the time. Once called the Shakespeare of the department, he describes himself as a typical tuba playing Ginger Ninja, Environmental Crusader, Sports Hipster, and Miami Hurricane. Like the Galaxy, he too was handcrafted in LA
Gary Vaughan: is a native of North Texas. He is also a graduate of the University of North Texas with aspirations of a higher level of education. Like a majority of Texans, football is his sports passion. Ironically, his passion for the game sparked from his love of Madden 98. From that point on he has poured hours into studying NFL history and game film. Gary is a student of the game and is a die hard Dallas Cowboys fan. His second sport is hockey, followed up by the rest of the American sports scene.
Randy Isbelle: is a New York American sports fan stuck in the Pacifc Northwest. Randy is a former writer for a few sports websites and he was also a co-founder of the Coast 2 Coast Sports Report podcast. He now splits his time between watching sports, playing video games and being a father.
