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 spent the first 2 hours and 15 minutes on the 2015 NBA Playoffs Preview extravaganza, where everyone broke down the first round match-ups and then we went through the rest of the bracket all the way to the NBA Finals. Guests include: Portland Oregon Radio Host Sean Louis-Phillipsen, along with Last Word on Sports Basketball Department Head Jack Moon Perrin, LWOS Basketball Writer Ryan Timmerman Hound Sports Basketball Writer Geoff Bruce, and Hound Sports Basketball Writer Will Goshay as well. This, was one informative, fun, and Basketball filled show.
After all that, Matt comes on for the last 15 minutes to talk USA’s 2-0 win over Mexico with Sean.
Sean, Gary, Matt, and Randy will be back tomorrow as well with Sean and Matt going over Philadelphia vs. NYCFC and NYRB vs. San Jose, then previewing the rest of the MLS games happening this weekend. Gary and Randy will also be on to talk some NFL stuff as well.
Football 2 Futbol is also available on-demand on these platforms: on the Last Word Radio I-Tunes and Stitcher, Tune-In Radio, Player FM, and Bluburry.
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
