Plus, his old ESPN friend Herm Edwards’ new job at ASU, whether Scott Frost can bring back the Tom Osborne era at Nebraska, Ben McAdoo’s firing, the Rams’ surge, Gronk’s suspension, and the SEC of course…but in College Hoops not Football! More, much more…listen, share, comment
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 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.
It’s a great podcast from Howie “Stump the Schwab” now Fox Sports’ College Hoops Bracketologist. First up, the Schwab apologizes (yes apologizes!) to Miama Hurricane fans for not taking the team as seriously as he should have..then lots more college football. The NFL is discussed with the Schwab giving his unique insights into the Rams, the Giants and others. The Schwab then puts the Women’s Fed Cup win into historical perspective. Onto the NBA and some thoughts on the first part of the season including the Celtics great start. And college hoops, of course, with the Schwab’s thoughts on who is underrated, who is overrated, and who doesn’t matter. Do you agree with the Schwab? Disagree? Listen! Share! Comment!
Old School ESPN: The Schwab & Fox’s Tim Brando go back and forth on college football, ESPN memories, and even a little NFL in this edition. Who do they think will go the long haul for the Heisman Ceremony in New York? What’s up in the SEC? Who does Tim think is the best team in the SEC East (it will surprise you) ? And their view on Big Ten? Plus The Schwab’s thoughts on the opening of the NFL, Sloane Stephens, and of course, boxing.

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.
