NFL Stadiums (3:03): "I played at Lambeau... it reminded me of a soccer game with how organized their chants were- the wave was on point, the chants were on point..."

Reducing the Number of Preseason Games (4:10): "If anything it may make the training camp experience more competitive... Even with the four preseason games, the first game of the regular season is kind of a s***show... Ideally, your best football doesn't come until the end of the season anyway."

NFL Concussion Protocol (10:17): "It's a joke... The Concussion Protocol is Comical"

Episode 60: Inside the Concept that is Revolutionizing Basketball- Interview with Dr. Nick Elam, Creator of the "Elam Ending"

Wed, 08 Apr 2020 16:40:19 -0400

On the latest episode of the show, Dr. Nick Elam, creator of the Elam Ending joins host Luke Winstel to discuss his story and innovative concept revolutionizing the game of basketball!

Bio (from thetournament.com): Dr. Nick Elam is a professor at Ball State University. "He is a die-hard basketball fan who set his sights set on solving one of his biggest problems in basketball – those last few minutes that seem to take hours because of intentional fouls. The “Elam Ending” aims to revolutionize basketball by eliminating end-of-game fouling all together and keeping the quality of play consistent throughout the entire game. Here’s how the Elam Ending works: Eliminate the clock from crunch time (under three-minute timeout in the NBA and under four-minute timeout in college) and establish a new target score by adding seven points to the leading team’s score. Resume the game and first team to reach the target score wins. For example, Team A leads Team B 70-65 at the under four-minute timeout. The clock then disappears and the first team to reach the new target score of 77 wins. This eliminates the perceived advantage of fouling to stop the clock and allows for teams to make a comeback using hard-nosed defense and efficient offense rather than numerous fouls and prayers for missed free throws."

On the latest episode of the Birds and Braves Podcast, Luke Winstel talks with New Orleans Saints Wide Receiver, Cyril Grayson Jr. He played high school football in Louisiana and attended Louisiana State University.
