    Matt Miller introduction
    NFL Draft analyst Matt Miller joined ESPN in 2021 as an NFL Draft contributor before returning as a year-round Draft analyst in 2022. In April 2023, Miller made his on-air NFL Draft debut during day three of the 2023 NFL Draft in Kansas City when he joined ESPN’s broadcast for rounds 4-7.  With over a decade of experience covering the NFL Draft, Miller appears across ESPN platforms on NFL Live, SportsCenter, Get Up!, NFL Draft and Mock Draft specials, ESPN+ exclusive programs – including numerous mock drafts and scouting reports, ESPN Radio and more.  Before joining ESPN, Miller was Bleacher Report’s lead NFL Draft writer from 2010-2021 where he contributed mock drafts, scouting reports, in-depth stories and he became the most-read author in the history of the website. Prior to Bleacher Report, Miller worked as Director of Scouting for New Era Scouting from 2006-10 and a coach and recruiting coordinator for the CFL’s Joplin Crusaders (2006-08).

    Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei and the Barbershop Crew: 2024 NFL Mock Draft Show

    Everyone thinks they know what every team is going to do year in and year out in the NFL draft. Mel Kiper Jr hasn’t hit on a draft pick ever I don’t think. Some people do multiple mock’s and still don’t get it right. Today the Crew and I will take our own shot the first round and how we think it will fall. Chops will do some commentary to add a little zest to the mix. Enjoy and see if you agree with our picks. Honestly though, it’s not like we care, psych…

    OSP "6in5er 5pecial" :What's a Title anyway!!!

     
    OSP “Yinzer Special”
    Nothing but Black and Gold and a ‘Burgh” thing. Us Pittsburghers would be remiss if we did not completely dedicate a show to the Steel City. 
    Steelers:
    Russell Wilson yes or no and why…
    Justin Fields is he the future starting next year?
    Kenny Pickett showed his true colors in the end……
    Queen, Elliott, Van Jefferson(?) : who is next? MIke Williams (injury history)
    Projection in the division now, AFC
    Penguins: 
    The fall of the Empire
    Will the off season bring more moves? (who?)
    Can Crosby get another CUP?
    Is he an all-time top 5?
    With so many guys leaving and finding success elsewhere and most recently ALex Nylander
    Is it the player or coach’s system and reluctance to change impacting the success of this team going forward?
    One final question is this the new GM’s (Kyle Dubas) fault or a by product of what was left behind? How much impact ina salary cap league can a GM have and especially when the previous guy was handing out No Movement Clauses like candy 
    Pirates
    Will this 2024 version of the PIrates make the leap with the young bucks?
    How long before Paul Skenes makes the jump? He was dominant in spring training in his minimal appearances.
    Pirates just signed Michael A Taylor who has a tremendous glove and minimal bat but are these the kinds of moves a team who maintains a low budget must make to compete?
    They also inked German Domingo who has spousal abuse charges. What are your feelings on giving a guy like this another opportunity? 
    Do the Pirates make the playoffs?
    Pitt Basketball
    Did they get screwed in the end or did that 1-5 start and playing what the experts deemed to be a softer schedule do them in?
    Was this team a product of good transfer portal moves?

    Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei and the Barbershop Crew: The Ides of March celebrating Females in Sports

    Monologue:
    Complete vision and purpose! It's tough to do but we manage to keep the ship steering straight ahead as we embrace a wealth of sports happenings in the world. Why do we love sports? We will talk about that so you can see that our reasoning for doing this podcast is mental health for us and others.....This week’s show is the last of season 4 and we are dedicating to female athletes after all we are celebrating women in the month of March. 
     
    Intro of BSC



    Spontaneous Reactions:
     
    3 minutes for each topic
     
    Why does the NFL need a non-tampering period before free agency? If it’s a fit, make the offer and be done with it. 
     
    “Iron” Mike Tyson vs. “Youtuber” Jake Paul. July 20th in Texas. I am not sure how I feel about this one. I am a huge and always been a huge Tyson fan. We will be streaming a live podcast during the fight giving our takes. Let’s look at what each has to gain and lose by this fight occurring.
     
    Since we have Steeler fans on this podcast let’s look at the newest addition to the QB room, Russell Wilson. 
     
    Saquon to Philly beefs with Tiki Barber 
     
    Kirk Cousins to ATL 
     
    What’s next for Fields
     
    Rudy Goebert fine Actions/Gesture of Goebert worth 100,000 fine?
    Main Segment: 
    Ladies of the Sports World
     
    I want to kick this thing off by talking about the fight at the WOmen’s Sec Championship game between South Carolina and LSU.  6-8 center Kamilla Cardoso came to the rescue of her teammate Ashley Watkinswho  was shoved in anger  by Flau’jae Johnson on her way to the bench. 
    The mele lead to 6 ejections and Johnson’s brother jumping on to the floor. Does this behavior help or hurt the ladies game?
     
    Caitlin Clark continues to be in the spotlight by hitting a game winning 3 for the Big Ten title over Nebraska. What more does she need to do to be looked at as maybe the best female basketball player in the NCAA? She's forgoing her senior year to play in the WNBA. 
     
    Thoughts on the Utah State ladies coach Kayla Ard getting fired immediately following their loss by the athletic director and sharing it at her post game presser. 
     
    The USWNT defeated Brazil(for the fourth straight time in a tournament final) in the inaugural Gold Cup held in San Diego on Sunday with the lone goal scored by Lindsey Horan. Now that some of the women who were more about political statements as opposed to soccer are gone, will this win spark the interest again in women’s soccer in the U.S. and if not what is it going to take. Alex Morgan seems to be the new face to associate with the sport.
