The blog & podcast from ESPN Legend Howie Schwab & friends
This week The Schwab Speaks on LeBron James…will he stay or will he go. And he has some surprisingly strong thoughts on the USOC and funding athletes as well as the glory of this year’s Winter Olympics. Plus lots of college hoops of course, spring training, boxing and the demise of the NY Rangers.
This week the Schwab speaks first about some of the things of interest to him: The Steelers’ touchdown that wasn’t, the Rams team that is, the amazing upset of UNC by Wofford, and of course, the Las Vegas Golden Knights. And then he and ESPN legend turned Dodgers’ Broadcasters discuss the World Series, the Rams and why Charley doesn’t watch the NFL anymore (a fellow broadcaster with CTE), what happened to Boxing and Derek Jeter and the Marlins.
This week The Schwab Speaks with current Nationals broadcaster (and former ESPNer) Bob Carpenter on whether this will (finally) be the year for the Nationals. Will Bryce Harper be ready? Will Ryan Zimmerman be a lifetime Nat? Will the bullpen hold up?
And The Schwab has some heated thoughts on the Triple G vs Alvarez fight, the Giants and Eli Manning, the key matches this weekend in College Football, and even the NHL pre-season.
This week Karie Ross, former ESPN anchor and wife of Red Sox GM Dave Dombrowski about Oklahoma Football, life in the family of a GM during the latter part of the MLB season, the Red Sox and the playoffs…as well as reminiscing on the good old days. Plus the Schwab on Mayweather McGregor, College Football, the US Open, and even Jean Ratelle’s jersey being retired!
The Schwab Speaks on the Wild Card Races in MLB-and why the Wild Card is Great. Plus his views on the Irving-Thomas swap in the NBA, who should BE in the NFL Hall of Fame, those injuries that are hampering the US Open and of course, boxing. Listen, comment, share! 
The Schwab Speaks with Showtime’s Jim Gray on the upcoming McGregor Mayweather fight! Also Jim’s thoughts on the upcoming NFL season…the Schwab’s thoughts on training camp…and the upcoming US Open.
Will Yu Darvish take the Dodgers all the way? Should the Astros have done more? Was John Urschel, the Raven who took early retirement to pursue a PhD at MIT, the last true recruit of the tragic Joe Paterno? A few Beano Cook memories, the late, great college football analyst, particularly on his interview with a Heisman Trophy winner who turned down the NFL…and more.
