In the spirit of “Should Auld Acquaintance”, we thought that we’d share this interview with Charley Steiner and Howie Schwab on this New Year’s Day. It’s about twenty minutes of laughter, Dodgers, and some surprising comments about the NFL. Enjoy!
The Schwab Speaks with Boomer (aka Chris Berman)
Happy Thanksgiving from The Schwab Speaks! This week, The Schwab has an old school ESPN feast as he catches up with his friend Chris Berman (starts at 4:00 on podcast). Boomer shares how he has spent his first non-NFL studio fall in a long time…helping coach the U Mass football at Tennessee, calling the MLB playoffs at Fenway, assisting in the coin toss of a Brown Dartmouth football game at Fenway, golf at Torrey Pines and more. Boomer also shares his thoughts on the NFL season so far, what he talked about with Warren Moon this past summer, the anthem situation and why football should be a unifier, last year’s Super Bowl comeback, and who might be in this one. Plus, the greatest upset that he ever reported on in the early days of ESPN …and it’s not in football. Listen, Share, Comment.

But wait there is more! Did Saquon Barkley lose the Heisman? Did JT Barrett win it? Will Notre Dame make it to the Championship Game? Could they have a rematch with Georgia along the way or there? Would Colin Kaepernick fit the Patriots system? How long is the NBA Season anyway? And those Las Vegas Golden Knights are making a statement in the NHL…

The Schwab Speaks World Series 2017 & 1986, Heisman Hopefuls, NFL & The NBA
Ah The Schwab Speaks on this year’s World Series…he gives his pick and more. Which previous Series does this remind him of? Who will emerge as the star? And his thoughts on the biggest weekend in college football coming up…Ohio State or Penn State? And who is ahead in the Heisman Race? Plus the LA Rams, who knew? Will the Browns win a game this season? And the NBA is underway…too early to say anything…of course not!
The Schwab Speaks: Dodgers & Astros (the 1981 version), World Cup Soccer & future, Clemson & upset, USC & Notre Dame, Jets & Refs…and more, always more
The Schwab speaks about men’s soccer and the elimination from qualifying for the World Cup. Is this a blip in the men’s program or a troubling trend? And then for a college football weekend that didn’t have two ranked opponents in one game… there were a lot of upsets. And what’s going to happen this weekend with the Trojans and USC? The Schwab has his thoughts. And that call in the Jets game..was it the difference? Would it have gone the other way? Finally, a look at the Dodgers Astros matchup…no not a look ahead…a look back to the NLDS in 1981.
The Schwab Speaks Red River Showdown with ESPN’s Joe Tessitore
“First of all Howie, it’s just great to talk ball with you,” says this week’s guest ESPN’s Joe Tessitore. This week The Schwab speaks with Tessitore on this weekend’s Red River (Texas Oklahoma Showdown), SEC, Alabama, LSU, Heisman…and a little boxing to boot.

The Schwab Speaks with NBC’s Mike Tirico: Notre Dame, SEC, NFL Month 1, and the Winter Olympics
“It’s like being back in the ESPN newsroom,” says this week’s guest, Mike Tirico. And it is. Mike and The Schwab talk about the college football season so far and whether Alabama and Clemson will go the distance. What is it like to cover the home games of Notre Dame and what Brian Kelly is doing differently this season. The NFL and why month one matters…and doesn’t matter. Colin Kaepernick on the field and not off…what Mike’s experiences covering him on MNF were like and which systems he might fit. The Winter Olympics and the North Korean figure skating team that might become one of the bigger stories.

Another Schwab Speaks
Let’s face it-the Home Run Derby is really the interesting part of the All-Star Break. So…chill tonight (or tomorrow) and listen to the one and only Howie Schwab on the first half of the baseball season, which NBA teams are making smart moves in the off-season, his beef with the NY Jets, and why tennis needs to reworks its ranking system. Oh and that is just for starters.
