They're talking about banning the Tush Push, Diana Taurasi hung it up, hockey is back, the NBA is a soap opera, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. College hoops is heating up, and that means the blood pressure is rising for Curry and Coach B, who might have something to say about his beloved Yankees' new-school policy on facial hair.

The Internet wasn't kind of our cantankerous Hall of Fame sportswriter, so Curry Kirkpatrick is stuck in the ether this week (but he claims to be stuck in a mayonnaise commercial with Meg Ryan), so producer Justin Jarrett sits in the snarky sportswriter seat for the first episode of Under The Bus since Kansas City's disastrous Super Bowl performance, leaving the City of Brotherly Love in ruin and a litany of speedbump fodder in the wake. Plus, college hoops is heating up, and that always gets the blood boiling for Coach B, and the NBA has turned into a soap opera with plenty of easy marks for a quick shove. So don't miss a new episode of UNDER THE BUS with former ESPN SportsCenter anchor Bob Stevens, legendary high school hoops coach Rich Basirico, and and Justin Jarrett sitting in for Hall of Fame sportswriter Curry Kirkpatrick!

Our grumpy GOATs are back and ready to make speedbumps out of some of the biggest names in the game! Former ESPN SportsCenter anchor Bob Stevens, legendary high school hoops coach Rich Basirico, and Hall of Fame sportswriter Curry Kirkpatrick are back and they're bagging on the losers from last weekend's NFL conference championship games, NBA prima donnas Jimmy Butler and Joel Embiid, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, show favorite Rick Pitino, and much more!

The Best Coach in the Effing Sport

Thu, 23 Jan 2025 00:50:02 -0400

No one is safe from the proverbial bus this week, as everyone from Dan Hurley to Kirk Herbstreit's new dog gets the speedbump treatment from Hall of Fame sportswriter Curry Kirkpatrick and legendary high school basketball coach Rich Basirico on a new episode of UNDER THE BUS!

Former ESPN SportsCenter host Bob Stevens plays referee while Curry and Coach B reflect on the college football national championship game and go in on Herbstreit's homerism, the flawed format of the first 12-team playoff, and ACC commissioner Jim Phillips, among others.

Plus, the gang gives its picks for the NFL conference championship games and Super Bowl and gives new Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson his flowers while sending condolences to new New York Jets coach Aaron Glenn and Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews. Curry lets the refs have it for their bubble-wrap treatment of Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and Coach B chimes in with a rant of his own on pass interference.

Bob shares his indifference toward new Hall of Famer CC Sabathia and the crew shows disdain for the voters who hold out on sure-fire first-ballot picks like Derek Jeter and Ichiro. Rich leads the charge in a collective effort to push UConn coach Dan Hurley UNDER THE BUS for another round of bumps and bruises, so take that "best coach in the f***ing sport."

All this and more on a new episode of UNDER THE BUS on the Lowco Media Network!

Former ESPN SportsCenter anchor Bob Stevens guides the discussion while legendary high school basketball coach Rich Basirico and Hall of Fame sportswriter Curry Kirkpatrick slice up the biggest stories in sports and dice up some of the biggest stars and most high-profile coaches in the process.

Thu, 09 Jan 2025 15:55:10 -0400

Our cantankerous crew of sage sports pundits is back for another episode of UNDER THE BUS! It's the first show of 2025, and our snarky squad is taking on the hottest topics in sports — including the College Football Playoff, officials deciding the game by not making a call that could decide the game, the NFL playoffs, and mayonnaise baths.

Some of the speedbumps along the way include Penn State football coach James Franklin, Pitt football coach Pat Narduzzi, beefing coaches
Bret Bielema (Illinois) and Shane Beamer (South Carolina), Cris Collinsworth, Sam Darnold, NY Giants owner John Mara, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, the Tennessee men's basketball team, hatin-ass Mick Cronin, Jimmy Butler, the ESPN graphics folks who emblazoned "Bulldongs" across the screen, and Curry's new nemisis — Georgia basketball standout Blue Kane and his Dookie legacy.

All this and much more on a new episode of UNDER THE BUS, featuring former ESPN SportsCenter anchor Bob Stevens, legendary high school hoops coach Rich Basirico, and Hall of Fame sportswriter Curry Kirkpatrick!

The Relationship Has Been Consummated

Tue, 17 Dec 2024 23:21:39 -0400

Join our cantankerous crew of elder statemen of the sports world as former ESPN SportsCenter anchor Bob Stevens holds court with legendary high school hoops coach Rich Basirico and Hall of Fame sportswriter and commentator Curry Kirkpatrick!

This week, we learn that new UNC coach Bill Belichick "won over" Curry, who is still in freakin' Maui, and now believes the legendary coach can win in Chapel Hill. The whole crew likes Tennessee and SMU as potential upset picks in the first round of the College Football Playoffs, and everyone has Oregon in the finals of their bracket, but Curry is going with the Dawgs to win it all. Plus, where has All-Name Team shoo-in Cam Skattabo been all our lives?

College hoops is heating up, and our resident hoop heads Curry and Rich are sold on the SEC, but they see UConn has gotten off the canvas and can't wait to throw Dan Hurley back UNDER THE BUS as soon as possible. Plus, tales of under-the-table payments to recruits in the before times of college athletics compared with the massive NIL deals luring big-time recruits to unlikely programs.

Bob tolls the bell for the 2024 Detroit Lions after a demoralizing loss to Buffalo coupled with another handful of key injuries, but Curry stands up for the Lions' offense and his boy Josh Allen and reads the Bills' running back depth chart. Rich gets in his weekly dig at Eagles coach Nick Sirianni and his usual dose of doubt about Sam Darnold. Curry calls out Colts RB Jonathan Taylor for costing himself a touchdown and his team a win — and possibly a playoff spot — and Bob makes a speedbump out of 49ers LB De'Vondre Campbell for refusing to play, which earned him the right to not play again this season. Rich smacks around Caleb Williams and everyone who anointed him the next big thing, and Curry clamors about injury reporting, insisting we're all "day-to-day" except Santa Claus, who is only one day.

Plus, Bob shares war stories from the SportsCenter days, reflecting on his time working with Charlie Steiner, Bob Ley, and Robin Roberts, among others.

Our grumpy GOATs fuss about all things sports every week and throw some of the biggest names in the game UNDER THE BUS! Catch up anytime on-demand on the Lowco Media YouTube channel or your favorite podcast app!

Dead GOAT's Society

Fri, 28 Jun 2024 11:22:15 -0300

The bus is gassed up after the fellas took last week off, and our legends pay tribute to two recently departed GOATs, sharing stories of the great Jerry West and Willie Mays. Hall of Fame sportswriter Curry Kirkpatrick uses the occasion of the NHL finals to recall his encounter with Harvey The Hound, which led to entanglements with Triumph The Insult Comic Dog and the lead singer of a KISS cover band. Our empassioned panel is more fired up about JJ Redick to the Lakers than the NBA Finals, and of course Coach Rich Basirico has some barbs for LeBron and Son. Curry takes a break from Swiftie Nation to channel Adele and shares the story of his showdown of sorts with Tommy Lee Jones, and former ESPN SportsCenter anchor Bob Stevens gets in his requisite golf talk, lamenting Rory's choke at Pinehurst and the ongoing PGA Tour vs. LIV debacle. All this and more on this week's episode of Under The Bus!

Tue, 18 Jun 2024 10:00:22 -0300

The fellas are taking a week off for load management next week while Coach B goes cruising with the grandkids, so they left it all on the floor on this week's episode of Under The Bus. Former ESPN SportsCenter anchor Bob Stevens, esteemed high school basketball coach Rich Basirico, and Hall of Fame sportswriter Curry Kirkpatrick hold court on the biggest stories in sports, weighing in on Joey Chestnut's ban from the July 4 hot dog eating contest, Dan Hurley spurning the Lakers, and Caitlin Clark's snug from the Olympic team. Curry shares some stunning stories from his years covering Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert, and a long-lost gem about the time he nearly got banned from covering the Stanley Cup Finals for treading where the NHL warned him not to tread. (Imagine that!) Bob schools his fellow grumpy GOATs on cricket and golf, while Coach B tosses frequent target Kyrie Irving under the bus, and Curry takes a shot at overzealous drone captains on golf broadcasts, plus much more.

A Pie in the Face from Bill Walton

Wed, 29 May 2024 16:08:39 -0300

It's a bittersweet episode of Under The Bus, now presented by Hudson’s Seafood On The Docks in Hilton Head Island, as Hall of Fame sportswriter Curry Kirkpatrick remembers his friend Bill Walton, who passed away this week after a battle with cancer. Esteemed basketball coach Rich Basirico and former ESPN SportsCenter anchor Bob Stevens reflect on their love for Walton's game, and the crew laments the passing of PGA Tour golfer Grayson Murray. Curry and Coach B throw the entire Minnesota Timberwolves organization under the bus, along with the majority of the Indiana Pacers, while Curry calls Kyrie Irving "the Kanye West of basketball" and refers to Luka Doncic as a "little fatty." Bob and Curry clash on Scottie Scheffler vs. The Cop and Harrison Butker, as both exercise their freedom of speech about his graduation address at Benedictine College. If you miss this episode, you might be the next one who goes Under The Bus!

Bucky Dent All Over Again

Thu, 16 May 2024 10:50:36 -0300

Our grumpy GOATs open this week's show by riffing on the debate over how many NBA players could make a seamless transition to the NFL (not many), bagging on Austin "Son of Doc" Rivers and getting in a shot on LeBron for posterity. Curry Kirkpatrick criticizes Scottie Scheffler's newborn son for his slow pace of play and trashes Nelly Korda (with tongue still firmly in cheek) for failing to win a sixth consecutive start. Resident Knicks fan Coach Rich Basirico shows his frustration with Thibs' short bench, while Curry shows love for Rick Carlisle and pledges allegiance to the Pacers against the "obnoxious" Nova Knicks. The guys gear up for their first season caring about the WNBA, Curry predicts the Atlanta Hawks will use their NBA Lottery win to draft another quarterback for the Falcons, and Rich predicts prison for Chiefs WR Rashee Rice. Bob Stevens points out the games he has circled on the NFL schedule, Curry reveals he has a crush on the NHL playoffs, and things wind down with an in-depth discussion of basketball coaches' wardrobes, plus a couple more gratuitous digs at LeBron.

We Roast Everybody

Thu, 09 May 2024 11:53:28 -0300

Our fussy fellas open by reflecting on the Kentucky Derby and throwing their predictions Under The Bus, along with the broadcast coverage of the race and flopping favorite Fierceness. The grumpy GOATs riff on The Roast of Tom Brady and get in a couple digs of their own, and resident Swiftie Curry Kirkpatrick manages to work Tay-Tay into the conversation. Our impassioned panel can't come to an agreement on whether the New York Knicks' Game 1 win over the Pacers was legitimate, with in-house NYC homer Rich Basirico grinning while Curry and Bob Stevens lambast the officiating down the stretch, but they reach a consensus that the challenge system sucks and agree Donte DiVincenzo should be up for a Tony for his late flop. Your favorite curmudgeonly commentators show love for the Minnesota Timberwolves, shouting out the Stifle Tower and the Ant Man, and wondering whether anyone can stop them. Coach B blasts LeBron's hijacking of the Los Angeles Lakers' coaching situation (and Curry sneaks in a Duke dig, naturally), Curry buzzes about the bees in Arizona, and Rich rants about Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton's plate approach (again). Plenty of umpires and referees end up Under The Bus, including one who tried to retire to Coach B on the spot before a game, but no more than the speedbumps that come from the NBA's "two-minute report" that throws shade on the refs. Come for the sports banter, stay for the Kristi Noem jokes on this week's edition of Under The Bus!

Horses Don’t Know What They Cos

Wed, 01 May 2024 20:00:00 -0300

The grumpy GOATs are back to riff on the NFL Draft, the NBA Playoffs, and a little of this and a little of that. Former ESPN SportsCenter anchor Bob Stevens bags on the Browns for using their first-round pick on Deshaun Watson (again), Hall of Fame sportswriter Curry Kirkpatrick declares “LeBron’s over” and has some strong words for Philly fans, and legendary high school basketball coach Rich Basirico has a tip on the Kentucky Derby from Kenny and Jack, and you know you can trust them, whoever they are. Tune in for all that and more, and see who ends up Under The Bus!

“Coach Cal Calls The Hogs”

Thu, 11 Apr 2024 13:30:00 -0300

The college basketball season is in the rearview mirror, and two of our grumpy GOATs are glad they opted to watch from home in lieu of spending a fortune to watch “ a couple UConn scrimmages,” because it allowed them to keep a closer eye on the “real Final Four” and the victorious Cocks (lot of cock talk in this one). The women’s Final Four had everything — traveling, three seconds, even moving screens! Curry evokes the great Oscar Schmidt (look him up), Geno goes under the bus, and Calipari calls the hogs to get out of Lexington ahead of the posse. Plus, see who claimed the gold medal in our bracket contest, who everyone likes this week in Augusta, and whether Caitlin Clark can be called the GOAT without a ring, all on this week’s episode of Under The Bus!

Unleash The Dancing Bear

Thu, 04 Apr 2024 12:30:53 -0300

Our grumpy GOATs are beside themselves this week, marveling at what their younger selves would think about leading off with a love letter to women’s college basketball — razor eyelashes notwithstanding — and relating Iowa vs. LSU to “Beyonce vs. Taylor Swift in a shake-off” (Curry Kirkpatrick, of course), as well as making a speed bump out of the NCAA for slighting the women with janky three-point lines in Portland.

The men get their due, even if UConn’s dominance has curbed Curry’s enthusiasm for the Final Four somewhat, with cheers for N.C. State “Fatty Bear” DJ Burns Jr., jeers for Dookie Kyle Filipowski, and admiration for Alabama and Purdue.

Coach Rich Basirico’s favorite pastime of ragging on the Yankees might be on the back-burner with Juan Soto in the Bronx, but former ESPN SportsCenter anchor Bob Stevens pushes the rest of the league under the bus for not signing the Childish Bambino and laments the $973M being paid to MLB players who won’t play this season.

Plus, no one can remember who sang “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” All on this week’s episode of Under The Bus!

Danny Hurley’s Underwear

Thu, 28 Mar 2024 12:14:07 -0300

It’s the most wonderful time of year for the grumpy GOATs of Under The Bus, who get to reminisce about another opening weekend of March Madness and revive a favorite pastime of ragging on the Yankees, with plenty in between.

Hall of Fame sportswriter Curry Kirkpatrick waxes poetic about The Tournament and remembers Magic vs. Bird, legendary high school hoops coach Rich Basirico rants about foul shooting, and former ESPN SportsCenter anchor Bob Stevens laments putting his trust in Bruce Pearl, plus Curry evokes punk rockers The Vandals, the fellas discuss the laundry regimen for Danny Hurley’s lucky underwear (and long for Hurley to go head to head with T.J. Otzelberger … in the Elite Eight or the octagon), and we cover the first weekend of the Madness in great details, from “Dolly Madison” failing to take down Duke to DJ Burns’ impressive girth.

The fellas pass on throwing Ohtani interpreter Ippei Mizuhara under the bus, noting he has already been made a speed bump by literally everyone else involved in the gambling scandal, but Curry pummels Purdue coach Matt Painter, Rich rips the refs, and the crew has a good laugh about the foul “Casper” committed to save Kansas from an upset against Samford.

All that and more this week on Under The Bus!

Busting on the Brackets

Thu, 21 Mar 2024 11:35:28 -0300

It's March Madness, and the Under The Bus crew breaks down their brackets in preparation for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, throwing plenty of coaches, players, and commentators under the bus, along with the selection committee, of course. Don't miss this episode of Under The Bus featuring Hall of Fame sportswriter Curry Kirkpatrick, former ESPN SportsCenter anchor Bob Stevens, and legendary hoops coach Rich Basirico!

Don't Smile At Me In Public

Wed, 13 Mar 2024 20:03:04 -0300

With another North Carolina win over Duke, Hall of Fame sportswriter Curry Kirkpatrick takes another shot at "The Rat" (aka Coach K) and his legacy, former ESPN SportsCenter anchor Bob Stevens and legendary high school hoops coach Rich Basirico hammer Tennessee women's basketball coach Kellie Harper for her end-of-game strategy (or lack thereof) against South Carolina, and diehard Giants fan Rich laments the tragedy of "Say-Gone" Barkley to the Eagles. And on the subject of NFL free agency, the gang wonders aloud how Russ and Ciara will adjust to living with yinz up Pittsburgh way and what is to become of the saga of Danny Dimes and Frankie Skillets, or whatever his name was (Tommy Cutlets). Plus, Staley vs. Mulkey, Tiny Hands Pickett, and PGA Tour players reenacting Tin Cup at Bay Hill — all that and more on this week's edition of Under The Bus!

Cousy After Cousy, Magic Before Magic

Wed, 06 Mar 2024 15:55:49 -0400

Our grumpy GOATs discuss how much The Portalists, as Curry calls them, have changed college basketball - for better and worse - and what it really means for Caitlin Clark to pass Pete Maravich’s scoring total. And of course, Curry has stories and a spot under the bus for both Pistol Pete and Ponytail Pete’s haters.

Plus, the fellas rail on Rick Barnes’ postseason acumen - and the time he big-timed in front of Rich at the Final Four - as well as the NCAA for its slights against Bob and Curry when they were working journalists, LeBron and every star athlete with a martyr complex, and many more.

And in the Speed Bump Round, Johnny Manziel, Russell Wilson and the Broncos, UTB favorite Mick Cronin, and every NFL GM at the combine makes a thumping sound.

Storming Flopkowski

Tue, 27 Feb 2024 19:36:00 -0400

No one thinks courtstormings are great for college hoops, but neither do the Under The Bus boys care for the pearl-clutching coming from Curry's hated Dookies — and you can say the same for Rick Pitino's white suit evoking the Good Humor ice cream man, which once again makes him into a speedbump for the cantankerous crew. Plus, they bag on offensively-challenged basketball teams, as well as LeBron and Bronny James, Curry invokes The Bear and Cocaine Bear, and Rich gets grilled on the experience of coaching his son.

Tune in each week to see what our panel of grumpy GOATs – Hall of Fame sportswriter Curry Kirkpatrick, former ESPN SportsCenter anchor Bob Stevens, and legendary high school hoops coach Rich Basirico – have to say about the biggest stories in sports and which stars they will throw Under The Bus!

Pummeling Pitino, Loving on Lefty

Sat, 24 Feb 2024 14:27:08 -0400

One of our GOATs (cough * Curry Kirkpatrick * cough) had some "technical difficulties" on Tuesday, but we got back on the bus this morning, and the fellas were in top form, opening with ... hockey? Curry goes in on Rick Pitino and shows legendary coach Lefty Driesell some love, the NBA All-Star Weekend gets annihilated, Bob gushes about golf, and Curry recalls his greatest moment — playing the villain for Jim Boeheim and John Thompson after a classic Big East battle.

The Under the Bus podcast picks up steam this week as the GOATs attack the greed in professional sports, bicker about the NBA's in-season tournament and LeBron's legacy, moan about modern-day pay-per-view to watch big-time college basketball games, trash everyone involved in the Kadarius Toney fiasco in Kansas City, and hail Tommy Cutlets, plus much more. Former ESPN SportsCenter anchor Bob Stevens (WHHI-TV) holds court with retired Hall of Fame sportswriter Curry Kirkpatrick (Sports Illustrated) and legendary high school basketball coach Rich Basirico as the irascible panel pushes some of the biggest names in sports — and one another-UNDER THE BUS!
