Bills Clinch AFC East - What to do next 2 games, Allen Payday coming up? NFL notes, NBA starts, NHL realigns, CUSE pauses

Tue, 22 Dec 2020 18:00:00 GMT

Bills Clinch AFC East - What to do next 2 games, Allen Payday coming up? NFL notes, NBA starts, NHL realigns, CUSE pauses and more!

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around' - with the big news being - the Buffalo Bills have clinched their 1st AFC Title since 1995 (00:25 - 03:17). Breaking down the win in Denver, and how the Bills can claim the 2nd seed (03:18 - 06:08).

Josh Allen's MVP-caliber season could lead to a huge payday this off-season (06:09 - 09:50) - but what do the Bills do the next 2 weeks? (09:51 - 17:25) Rest the starters, or go for the wins and the 2nd seed in the AFC? There may be fans in attendance for the Bills (17:26 - 19:36) - and who made the Pro Bowl for Buffalo.

NFL News - Week 15 Notes - starting with the free-falling Pittsburgh Steelers (19:37 - 22:08) - Will the Browns game to the end the season decide the AFC North? What happened to the Raiders? (22:09 - 24:06) Will their fade and injuries mean - Nate Peterman Time?

The Bucs (24:07 - 26:58) are playoff-bound thanks to their defense, notsomuch Tom Brady. Plus, the Colts and Titans are looking strong. Will Derrick Henry break 2000 yards this season? The Ravens (26:59 - 30:43) and Dolphins are fighting for the last playoff spot, while the NFC East is up for grabs.

Looking at the complete playoff picture (30:44 - 32:23) and how important the final weeks are. Meanwhile - the Jets (32:24 - 37:22) have found new ways to Jets-up their season - this time, by winning a game!

The NBA Season starts tonight (37:23 - 40:56) - lots of stories to watch for, like if LeBron can still get the job done at 38, the Nets finally get Kyrie and KD on court together, James Harden is FAT - plus Zion is back for a season without minutes limitations. LaMelo Ball (40:57 - 41:42) gets a lot of buzz, but his defense is not NBA worthy.

The NHL announces (41:43 - 42:46) a start date, and a re-alignment to make play possible - and it's not helpful for the Buffalo Sabres...

Syracuse Basketball has a week with 2 wins (42:47 - 48:25) that ends with a pause, thanks to a COVID case with UB... But does the Orange have enough shooting to handle the upcoming ACC schedule?

The College Football Playoffs (48:26 - 50:19) are set - and is there any way for us to NOT see another Alabama vs Clemson National Title game?

And finally, the world got to see Tiger Woods (50:20 - 53:35) and his 11-year old son Charlie on the course together, and it was everything you would expect, and more!

Tue, 15 Dec 2020 18:00:00 GMT

Bills rock Steelers on SNF, Josh Allen MVP Worthy, NFL Notes, College Football Playoffs, Should NCAA basketball play games?

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around' - Carl starts with the impressive Sunday Night Football (00:45 - 02:52) win for Buffalo over Pittsburgh. And the shame that the Bills best season in years is happening with no fans in attendance.

Breaking down the Bills win (02:53 - 07:39) - how the Steelers were 1-dimensional on offense, and how the Bills pulled off a big 2nd half. Josh Allen (07:40 - 15:53) proved, that he is in face, MVP Worthy. Mel Kiper adds his thoughts, as only he can, as to why he always knew Josh was a winner. Plus - the dancing (15:54 - 18:43) of Ju Ju and the Bills defense... Talking the Bills positives (18:44 - 20:26), like time of possession - and - Zach Moss. The remaining schedule (20:27 - 22:52) and why the Bills need to clinch the AFC East now, and not in the final week vs Miami.

NFL News - Week 14 Notes - starting with the wild Ravens- Browns game on Monday night (22:53 - 26:37) - what Lamar did or didn't do-do - plus the impact of the game on the AFC Wildcard picture. The Rams and Bears look good (26:38 - 28:00) while another name to consider for MVP (28:01 - 30:16) is the Titans Derrick Henry.

Patrick Mahomes has a bad game (30:17 - 34:10) while the Packers look strong. The Washington Football team, led by Chase Young, have passed the Giants in the NFC Least. And, who Carl sees as a comp for Young...

The Vikings and Bucs (34:11 - 36:52) had a good game that showed more of Tom Brady - weaknesses and all. Jalen Hurts, meanwhile, has arrived in Philly by beating the Saints.

The College Football Playoffs (37:21 - 43:36) are about to be decided, and Carl breaks down the 3 teams he thinks are definite, and the different scenarios for the 4th... A lot is riding on this weekend's Clemson - Notre Dame rematch.

Should NCAA Basketball be played right now? (43:37 - 51:00) - we've seen a lot of COVID-19 cases, a lot of postponements, a lot of losses from teams that normally win (Duke, Kentucky) - and what former UB Head Coach Nate Oats said in response...

Syracuse Basketball opened the ACC schedule by dominating Boston College (51:01 - 55:44) thanks to some good shooting, and a surprising amount of depth for Jim Boeheim's squad, now that Buddy Boeheim is back. Carl thinks this Cuse team, is a team to watch out for...

Bills shine on MNF, Josh Allen serious MVP candidate, Jets fire Gregg Williams, Cuse Hoops, and what happened to NHL?

Tue, 08 Dec 2020 17:00:00 GMT

Bills shine on MNF, Josh Allen serious MVP candidate, Jets fire Gregg Williams, Cuse Hoops 3 - 0, and what happened to NHL?

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around' - Carl starts talking about how great MNF Double-headers are (00:57 - 02:50) before diving into the Bills win over the 49ers on Monday (02:51 - 07:51)
Josh Allen looks great, Cole Beasley is an under-the-radar superstar, and Brian Daboll's creativity makes him a likely departure for a head coaching position.

Breaking down the Bills offense (07:52 - 10:10) and what they did right - including getting some runs in again. Checking the schedule (10:11 - 12:52) and what the Bills need to do to win the AFC East. The defense (12:53 - 14:57) gets Matt Milano back, and performs ok. What the Bills need (14:58 - 16:06) for next season... and comparing Josh Allen's MVP-caliber season to Sam Darnold (16:07 - 20:47)

NFL News - Week 13 Notes - starting with the Jets mess (20:48 - 25:45)- firing Gregg Williams was the right move, and why not firing Adam Gase - yet - makes sense. The Saints look like the NFC's best team (25:46 - 28:00) while the Packers are right there too... the Eagles and Carson Wentz - what happened in Philly?

The Colts beat the Texans (28:01 - 30:00), and the Dolphins win again - keeping the pressure on Buffalo. The Vikings (30:01 - 32:43) are a big surprise after their 1 - 5 start - and the Browns are contenders? The Washington Football Team beats Pittsburgh (32:44 - 34:43). Anthony Lynn's job is in serious danger (34:44 - 38:36) while the Chiefs continue to win.

Syracuse Basketball is 3 - 0 (38:37 - 48:01) thanks to some good shooting, and the steady presence of Quincy Guerrier. Playing without Buddy Boeheim doesn't hurt the Orange, and may have helped them - plus Lawrence Moten shares an interesting story about Coach Boeheim.

And, finally - remember Hockey? (48:02 - 54:26) - it's one of the Big 4 Sports, and yet - when are they playing next? How many games? Where will they play the games? Does anyone know?

Bills go to 8 - 3, NFL Week 12 Notes, Derrick Henry:MVP?, SU Hoops survives Bryant, UB's Jaret Patterson for Heisman? And More...

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around' - Carl opens with the Buffalo Bills beating the Chargers (01:33 - 06:43) and their upcoming schedule. Comparing Justin Herbert to Josh Allen (06:44 - 08:32) and needed big games from AJ Klein and Ed Oliver.

The Run Game (08:33 - 12:26) steps up vs LA - and Josh Allen plays the role of 'game manager' - is this the key for the Bills come playoffs?

Gabe Davis (12:27 - 14:53) is having a good rookie season, helping alleviate the John Brown injuries - plus, it's the Bills in prime-time for the next 4 weeks.

NFL News - Week 12 Notes (14:54 - 19:35)- Tom Brady and the Bucs are not a legit threat if Brady has to throw the ball 35 times a game. The Raiders collapse (19:36 - 23:04) while the Giants are suddenly the belle of the ball in the terrible NFC East.

How about Derrick Henry for MVP? (23:05 - 25:56) Has there been a more valuable player? Mahomes maybe? And the Browns may be the toughest 8 - 3 team to get a handle on - they win despite Baker Mayfield. The Vikings and Panthers (25:57 - 28:01) had a good game, while New England isn't going anyway anytime soon...

The COVID situation in the NFL (28:02 - 31:53) forces the Broncos to play with a non-QB while the Ravens are given several days to recoup before playing the Steelers. What's the policy here, NFL? The 49er's and Rams (31:54 - 33:11) had a surprising result...

Coaches under fire (33:12 - 39:10) - as the Lions move on - there's plenty of other NFL Coaches via to be the next out the door...

Syracuse Basketball wins a game vs Bryant (39:11 - 45:32) that they should have lost - and Boeheim regrets even playing, after the team paused for 14 days. Upsets (45:33 - 47:14) were the order of the day around College hoops in week 1.

Boxing is a joke (47:15 - 50:07) - and we didn't need Tyson vs Jones Jr. to tell us that, but it was a hell of a reminder...

And, finally - College Football rolls on (50:08 - 53:02) with potential big coaching vacancies - and how about UB's Jaret Patterson (53:03 - 57:52) for Heisman? 400 plus yards and 8 TD's in ONE game is pretty phenomenal...

The Bills Run Game - Where has it gone? NFL Notes, Coaching Culture, and CUSE Hoops Preview!

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around' - Carl opens with the Buffalo Bills bye week (01:21 - 04:36) and how Coach Sean McDermott could use the time to "self-scout" his team. Carl wonders what the actual deal is with Center Mitch Morse (04:37 - 10:08)

Tight End Tommy Sweeney (10:09 - 11:47) has complications from COVID-19, and it's pretty serious - another blow to the disappointing Tight End position.

The Run Game (11:48 - 15:10) - how do the Bills make it better? On the defensive side too, where they allow far too many yards on the ground.

The Bills play the Chargers next (15:11 - 17:14) and Carl's pick for Rookie of the Year, Justin Herbert.

NFL News - Week 11 Notes (17:15 - 18:29)- The Dolphins blow their game vs Denver - and Tua (18:30 - 20:52) shouldn't be blamed for the loss either... The Rams beat the Bucs (20:53 - 24:36) as Jared Goff outplays Tom Brady - plus the Ravens and Titans bad blood continues...

The NFC East (24:37 - 28:00) trudges on, with the Eagles Carson Wentz looking like a shell of his former MVP-self. Joe Burrows injury really spells the end of the season for Cincy. The Saints choice of Taysam Hill pays off, while the Texans and Colts look strong (28:01 - 31:57)

The Sunday Night game between the Raiders and Chiefs (31:58 - 37:26) showed how far Las Vegas has progressed, and maybe the Chiefs are a beatable team this year - plus, Mike McCarthy uses a sledgehammer to drive home his points to the Cowboys, and they respond with a win.

Coaching and Culture - Carl takes a deep dive into building your team through culture (37:27 - 47:24), through some examples from Urban Meyer and Jimmy Johnson.

The NBA Draft (47:25 - 50:10) saw Rochester's Isaiah Stewart go to Detroit with the 16th overall pick - and fellow 585er's Quinton Rose and Anthony Lamb sign deals that could land them in the NBA as well...

And, finally - previewing Syracuse Basketball (50:11 - 55:30) as they start the season, and what to expect from Buddy Boeheim and gang.

Hail Mary Heartbreaker! Bills head to Bye 7 - 3, NFL Week 10 Notes, NBA Draft, The Masters and more!

Tue, 17 Nov 2020 18:00:00 GMT

Hail Mary Heartbreaker! Bills head to Bye 7 - 3, NFL Week 10 Notes, NBA Draft, The Masters and more!

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around' - Carl opens with the Buffalo Bills (00:42 - 05:12) losing to the Arizona Cardinals, and questioning the in-game coaching adjustments from Coach Sean McDermott.

Josh Allen made a tremendous play that could have been the game winner (05:13 - 08:33), further cementing the fact that Allen is great under pressure, late in games.

The Play. The Hail Mary. (08:34 - 18:33) Kyler Murray finds Hopkins in a sea of Blue in the endzone. Breaking down the play, and what happened...

The Bills are in a bind (18:35 - 20:57) as it pertains to Miami. Both teams are heading to their final week showdown with a chance to win the AFC East. DeAndre Hopkins (20:58 - 21:48), just to reiterate - play of the season so far.

NFL News - Week 10 Notes (21:49 - 24:23)- The Bucs win games when Ronald Jones gets the ball. Running the ball (24:24 - 27:11) is back in style this year in the NFL. Plus, Tua, Justin Herbert, and the Raiders talk.

The Steelers reamin undefeated(27:12 - 30:09), and the Seahawks look human again, while Green Bay looks strong, and the Saints turn to Jameison Winston with Drew Brees injured.

The Sunday Night game between New England and Baltimore (30:10 - 32:28) proved the Bill Belichick isn't going for a draft pick, and can still pick apart another teams offense.

College Football (32:39 - 35:44) sees the PAC10 playing, while the BIG10 looks like a disaster, with Michigan and Penn State a combined 1 - 7.

The NBA Draft (35:45 - 41:47) has a huge local connection, with Rochester's Isaiah Stewart, Quinton Rose and Anthony Lamb all potentially being drafted - but why is everyone so high on Lamelo ball?

Kim Ng (41:48 - 43:38) becomes the 1st female General Manager in MLB with Derek Jeter's Marlins.

And, finally The Masters tournament (43:39 - 48:46) sees Dustin Johnson win the green jacket, while Tiger Woods has a very bad par 3 that takes him out of contention.

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around' - Carl opens with the Buffalo Bills (01:38 - 07:00) defeating the Seattle Seahawks and Russell Wilson. Carl breaks down the game, and what put the Bills over the top.

Josh Allen stepped up again (07:01 - 10:39) and has proven he may be the best QB of the Class of 2018. Stefon Diggs (10:40 - 14:16) can't be guarded by a man-to-man defense, and it's opening up the Buffalo offense. Kyler Murray (14:17 - 16:32) and the Arizona Cardinals are up next for the Bills, another tough matchup.

Josh Allen lost his grandmother (16:33 - 21:05) shortly before the game, and Bills Mafia, led by Del Reid, stepped up to raise money on Josh's behalf. Another classy move from the best fans in the NFL.

NFL News - Week 9 Notes - COVID and how the NFL has handled it so far, plus thoughts on the Ravens, Colts and Chiefs (21:06 - 25:18). Carl speaks highly of Teddy Bridgewater, Delvin Cook and wonders if Anthony Lynn can hang on with the Chargers. (25:19 - 29:11)

The Steelers are undefeated, and the Las Vegas Raiders are a bit of a surprise... (29:12 - 31:29)

The Sunday Night game between Tampa Bay and New Orleans (31:30 - 33:20) showed Tom Brady isn't the QB he once was, while Drew Brees is starting to resemble his old self.

College Football Playoffs pondering (33:21 - 39:06) as Carl breaks down the chances of Notre Dame making the Final Four, after their huge win over Clemson.

And, finally The Masters tournament is here (39:07 - 46:14) - later than usual due to COVID, and shaping up to be a special tournament.

Josh Allen (15:14 - 17:21) has regressed a little, but is still having a very good season. But the running game (17:22 - 20:36) is in shambles. Next the Bills get a reprieve with the Jets (20:37 - 25:52) before their schedule gets very tough, very fast.

NFL News - How bad are them Cowboys? (25:53 - 31:47) Historically bad on defense, according to Carl - The Bucs have been a surprise (31:48 - 36:22) because of the defense, not Tom Brady. Plus, talkng Chicago Bears, the Steelers dominate the Browns and Sam Darnold's future. (36:23 - 40:50)

The Titans and the 49ers are two surprising teams (40:51 - 42:44) that could be dangerous in the playoffs. Ryan Fitzpatrick may be benched in favor of Tua, but his leadership is undeniable (42:45 - 45:49)

The MLB playoffs have been great (24:40 - 29:13), especially for the young and exciting players, like Fernando Tatis Jr. The Yankees advance to play their hated rivals in Tampa Bay - and that could be an awesome series. But, why does MLB (29:14 - 30:52) allow players to be interviewed on TV - during the game? It almost cost the Oakland A's...

College Football has some intriguing matchups this weekend (30:53 - 32:51), including Auburn vs Georgia. Plus, Alabama and the Boomer Sooners are in action...

The NBA Finals start with a big Lakers win (32:52 - 35:04) over the Heat - and now Miami has two big injuries to slow them down. Doc Rivers is hired (35:05 - 36:50) in Philly - will the Sixers need to trade a big name to rebuild? Embiid? Simmons?

And finally, Carl looks at what's next for the traditional winter sports, the NBA and NHL (36:51 - 40:24) - what does the schedule look like for them? When do they start, and how many games will they play 'next' season? And, what about the AHL and the Amerks?

Tue, 29 Sep 2020 16:00:00 GMT

Bills Super Bowl Bound? NFL Week 3 news, MLB Playoffs start and more!

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around', as Carl begins this week talking about the Buffalo Bills and their 3 - 0 start to the season (01:23 - 07:04). Are the Bills Super Bowl bound? The AFC East loks very different (07:05 - 09:21) Talking the Rams game - and the referees (09:22 - 13:19)

It was a big day for the Bills offense (13:20 - 15:31), including rookie Andre Davis. The defense (15:32 - 18:03) however showed some areas that need improving.

Looking at the Bills schedule (18:04 - 21:43) - it's tough, can Buffalo win 10 games?

NFL Week 3: The Texans are a disappointment - much like the entire NFC East (21:44 - 24:57) Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers look strong, but not as strong as Russel Wilson and Seattle (24:58 - 29:08). The AFC North might be the best division (29:09 - 34:15) but can anyone stop the Kansas City Chiefs?

And, then there's Tom Brady (34:16 - 37:09) and the Bucs...

The MLB playoffs kick off, with the AL (37:47 - 41:06) - can the Yankees get anything from the Aaron Judge/Giancarlo Stanton combo? Can anyone beat the fundamentally sound Tampa Bay Rays?

The National League (41:07 - 42:54) may come down to who wins between the Braves and Reds. Are the league leaders, like Batting Crown champ Juan Soto, worth mentioning in a 60-game season? (42:55 - 44:30). Carl also picks his AL/NL Cy Young and MVP winners...

College Football is back (44:31 - 47:07) - how does the season look for Syracuse?

The NBA Finals pit the Lakers vs the Heat (47:08 - 50:02) - do the Heat have a shot against LeBron and AD?

Breaking news - as we record the show, Carl learns the Titans (50:03 - 52:14) have 8 positive COVID tests - is Tennessee out for next week?

And finally, Carl goes thru some news and notes: Will Minor League Baseball ever be like it once was? (52:15 - 53:34) Plus (53:35 - 56:10) High School sports are back, the Bills might have fans at the Ralph, the Tampa Bay Lightning hoist the Cup - and the Sabres better not trade Jack Eichel!

Bills 2 - 0, Josh Allen MVP? NFL Notes, NBA Playoffs & more!

Tue, 22 Sep 2020 16:00:00 GMT

Bills 2 - 0, Josh Allen MVP? NFL Notes, NBA Playoffs & more!

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around', as Carl begins this week talking about the Buffalo Bills and their 2 - 0 start to the season (02:00 - 08:08). Is Josh Allen (08:09 - 14:31) a serious contender for MVP?

Stefon Diggs (14:32 - 17:00) has been a huge addition for the Bills so far, and Allen is making a connection with his star receiver. The Bills schedule (17:01 - 18:56) gets a bit tougher over the next few weeks, starting with the LA Rams coming to town.

There are a few minuses for the Bills (18:57 - 22:11) after two games, including Sean McDermott's terrible time-management.

NFL Notes: The Dallas Cowboys pulled off a miracle win against the Falcons (22:12 - 24:04) due to one of the craziest onside kick plays ever. The NFL after 2 weeks has a few suprises (24:05 - 25:42) while you have to question how much Drew Brees(25:43 - 26:35) has left in the tank. Cam Newton (26:36 - 29:09) is clicking with the Patriots, while the Browns, Colts and Bucs are in the process of putting everything together. Injuries continue to play a huge role in the season (29:10 - 31:26), including the NY Giants losing Saquan Barkley for the season.

The NBA playoffs have been great so far, and the Lakers have an incredible player in Anthony Davis (32:16 - 35:12). The Heat and Celtics (35:13 - 37:05) are having a great series as well, especially for the shooters in Miami.

The NHL Stanley Cup Finals (37:06 - 37:50) are tied at 1 game each.

And finally, Carl talks about a guy he doesn't like very much (37:51 - 42:29) Bryson DeChambeau - and why he is probably a future PGA Hall of Famer.

Bills Season Preview, Full NFL Preview - plus Yankees Implode, Mets say goodbye to a Legend

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around', as Carl begins this week talking the NFL (00:29 - 04:49) and perhaps the return to normalcy - and why maybe the Buffalo Bills are in good shape this season.

The Buffalo Bills season preview (04:50 - 16:14)as Carl breaks down the season schedule, with predictions and what to look out for. Carl predicts the rest of the AFC (16:15 - 18:52), including his pick to go to the Super Bowl.

Predicting the NFC (18:53 - 23:30), including a surprising pick to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl (23:31 - 25:29).

The Bills sign Tre White (25:30 - 31:09) to a contract extension, and why that was a move that needed to happen - and what that means for the next big contract extension candidate - Josh Allen.

NFL Notes: DeShaun Watson has an extension (31:10 - 35:46) and it might be the only thing the Texans have done right lately... and speaking of bad decisions from the front office, Carl picks the 4 NFL Coaches most likely to lose their jobs this season (35:47 - 39:14)

The New York Yankees were expected to be the best team in baseball - wha happened??? (40:24 - 47:47) - Carl looks at the Bombers, and there's plenty of problems to be found.

A bright spot for Rochester is the play of Pittsford native Danny Mendick (47:48 - 50:30) with the Chicago White Sox. A young and up-and-coming team, exciting to watch - and Mendick is a big part of it.

As the Mess Turns in NY gets a reprieve this week, as the Mets say goodbye to Tom Seaver (50:31 - 54:55) - and MLB also lost another Hall of Famer, with the passing of Lou Brock.

Carl looks at the NBA playoffs (54:56 - 59:25) and the great job by Jimmy Butler in Miami,and the ageless Lebron James. And, is it time we talked about Kawhi Leonard's resume? (59:26 - 1:00:25) Where does he rank all-time, especially if he can bring a title to the Clippers?

And finally, Carl talks about the NHL playoffs (1:00:26 - 1:01:15) and the Islanders...

Lack of Buzz for NFL, Bills add depth and pick their Kicker - plus Vegas picks are in - The Mets draw laughs, and more!

Tue, 01 Sep 2020 16:00:00 GMT

Lack of Buzz for NFL, Bills add depth and pick their Kicker - plus Vegas picks are in - The Mets draw laughs, and more!

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around', as Carl begins this week talking the NFL (02:18 - 10:18) and the striking lack of buzz for new season... is it due to the current list of crisis' in the US, or is there more to it?

The Buffalo Bills added depth by signing Andre Smith (10:19 - 17:58) to the defense. Can you ever have enough linebackers, with injuries as a constant in the NFL.

Buffalo also made their choice at kicker (17:59 - 20:15), going with draft pick Tyler Bass over veteran Stephan Hauschka - and Carl has a strong opinion on kickers in the NFL...

NFL notes: The Jags release Leonard Fournette - and keep Head Coach Doug Marrone (20:16 - 28:25)...Looking at the contrast in coaching between Bill Belichick in New England and Adam Gase with the Jets (28:26 - 33:08) Derwin James is hurt again (33:09 - 34:29) and Vegas has NFL win totals (34:30 - 38:50) - who wants to pick the Bills to win more than 9 games?

The MLB trade deadline (39:45 - 42:53) has come and gone, with the Yankees doing little, while the Padres and Blue Jays (from Buffalo!) make serious moves...

As the Mess Turns in NY (42:44 - 52:28) - the Mets can't get anything right. GM Brodie Vanwengen rats out MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred on a hot mic, and the Mets owners throw "Brody" under the bus... but at least the Mets traded for... uh... Todd Frazier?

Carl looks at the NBA and NHL playoffs (52:29 - 54:49) as it looks like some great 7-game series' are set.

And finally, Carl talks about the Georgetown great, legendary Coach John Thompson (54:50 - 1:02:35) and the loss of what once was, the best conference in all of basketball - the Big East.

McDermott backs Josh Allen, Bills camp position battles, the NFL has a COVID scare, MLB Notes & more!

Tue, 25 Aug 2020 18:00:00 GMT

McDermott backs Josh Allen, Bills camp position battles, the NFL has a COVID scare, MLB Notes plus LUKA ain't no "bitch ass white boy"!

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around', as Carl begins this week looking at the recent COVID scare in the NFL (00:54 - 11:56). The tests may have been 'false positives', but the NFL's reaction gives us a look at how things may go down in the regular season, should an actual outbreak occur.

How about Earl Thomas? (11:57 - 20:52) The Ravens cut him loose, as his off-the-field problems became very much on the field, and in camp.

Sean McDermott came out in support of Josh Allen (20:53 - 27:03), and compared him to Donovan McNabb and Cam Newton, two QB's who followed a similiar start, and worked with McDermott. But does this just add to the pressure facing Allen?

Bills camp notes: The Wide Receiver position (27:04 - 31:23) has a new face in the battle for the 4th receiver role... Brandon Beane (31:24 - 34:44) has a good history with picking in the later rounds of the NFL Draft... and Carl looks at the position battles in camp (34:45 - 36:56) namely at Fullback, Tight End and Defensive End.

The Mets had a positive case of Coronavirus this week (38:09 - 40:07), but Carl thinks it's the least of their problems...

MLB notes - The San Diego Padres (40:08 - 42:42) are a team to watch this year, and not just because Fernando Tatis Jr. broke an "unwritten rule"... Pitching injuries (42:43 - 45:16) continue to mount around MLB, including James Paxton of the Yankees... The Reds (45:17 - 47:03) are a dark horse in the National League, thanks to two of the best starting pitchers in baseball... and what's not to love about Freddie Freeman? (47:04 - 48:51)

Carl looks at the NBA, and the emergence of Luka Doncic (48:52 - 56:21) as a primetime player in the playoffs. Carl breaks down his spot, and looks back at the draft that led to him becoming a Maverick. Plus, the Lakers (56:22 - 58:20) are just as good as everyone thought they'd be... maybe even better than that.

Dustin Johnson (58:21 - 59:17) picks up another PGA tour win - is he on a path to the Hall of Fame?

And finally, Carl talks High School Sports (59:18 - 1:02:43) and the decision in NYS to have football teams practice, but not actually play games...

Bills Camp - Pads On! It's for Josh Allen to Step Up - NFL Notes, Clint Frazier needs to stay in NY and more!

Bills Camp - Pads On! It's for Josh Allen to Step Up - NFL Notes, Clint Frazier needs to stay in NY and more!

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around', as Carl begins this week looking at Day 1 of Bills Camp, with media present, and pads on (01:15 - 04:30). It's time now for Josh Allen to step up (04:31 - 15:59) or Buffalo will need to move on from his next season.

The role Josh Norman will play on defense (16:00 - 19:10) - and the NFL has ranked it's top 'Triplets' (QB, RB and Receiver) - and the Bills rank 23rd in the league (19:11 - 24:57) - surprised?

More NFL notes on injuries and Deandre Hopkins (24:58 - 28:34), plus can Joe Judge get the Giants to 'buy in'? (28:35 - 32:08)

WTF... as Carl likes to call the Washington Football Team (32:09 - 39:31) have named Jason Wright Team President - the youngest in the league, and also the first Black man to be a Team President.

The Ravens might have a steal (38:32 - 39:30) with Dez Bryant.

The Yankees are once again dealing with injuries to Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge (41:01 - 46:01)- and Carl thinks it's time to make room in the outfield for Clint Frazier.

MLB notes - a whole lot of losing (46:02 - 49:11) going on in Boston, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Seattle... and even the team with the best player in the game, can't win enough to make the expanded postseason. The Mets mess (49:12 - 52:40) reaches another level with the ongoing sale of the team, as only the Wilpons could do it.

The Indians have punished two players, Mike Clevinger and Zach Plesac (52:41 - 55:28) for breaking COVID protocol... and pitcher Adam Plutko speaks out against him teammates.

College Football looks at playing without some of it's top teams (55:29 - 58:49) - is it feasible to have a season?

Carl looks at the NBA Bubble (58:50 - 1:05:15), including the historic game for Donovan Mitchell - and the media getting it wrong with Kristap Porzingis.

And finally, Carl talks NHL (1:05:16 - 1:06:33) - and his rooting interest this postseason may surprise you!

Should there be a College Football Season? Bills Talented & Young, NFL notes, MLB fight & more!

Tue, 11 Aug 2020 17:00:00 GMT

Should there be a College Football Season? Bills Talented & Young, NFL notes, MLB fight & more!

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around', as Carl begins this week looking at the situation with College Football (00:52 - 21:09). Some conferences have punted on the season, while others plan to play on... what's the right call? Should there be a season during a pandemic?

The NFL could benefit with CFB not playing (21:10 - 26:35) - do you think that TV networks would want more nights of NFL? That was rhetorical, of course they want it!

NFL notes... Darius Guice (26:36 - 29:16) should be out of the league for awhile, deservedly so. ESPN ranks the Teams with the Top talent under 25 (29:17 - 35:35) - and not surprisingly, the Bills fare well. Plus, training camp (35:36 - 37:50) just isn't the same with it not being at St. John Fisher.

The PGA season is going well (39:25 - 45:47), and Colin Morikawa is just one of the new faces stepping up this year.

MLB notes - beginning with the Yankees (45:48 - 48:48), and why don't they just give Clint Frazier a shot. The Mets Mess continues (48:49 - 50:46) with Marcus Stroman opting out... and the A's Ramon Laureano takes on the hated Astros (50:47 - 54:12), and why Houston coach Alex Cintron should be banned from baseball. Plus, can the Cardinals (54:13 - 55:50) make up all the games they missed? And, what if they make the playoffs?

The Blue Jays kick off their home season in Buffalo (55:51 - 59:00) tonight - and why Carl thinks it might be there home for longer than you think...

The NHL bubble rolls on (59:01 - 1:02:17) and did Gary Bettman do something right, by doing something totally wrong?

Carl looks at the NBA Bubble (1:02:18 - 1:05:07) and the noticeable drop in quality of play with the last run of the "regular season"...

Yankees Riding High, Mets flounder - Bills Camp notes plus where will AB go next?

Tue, 04 Aug 2020 17:00:00 GMT

Yankees Riding High, Mets flounder - Bills Camp notes plus where will AB go next?

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around', as Carl begins this week talking baseball, and the New York Yankees (01:53 - 13:55). Aaron Judge is on fire - but maybe Alex Rodriguez should choose his words more carefully. Meanwhile, the Mets (13:56 - 26:20) are in a world of trouble, all by their own choices. From Yoenis Cespedes opting out, to the beleaguered bullpen - thank the Wilpons!

Baseball has a problem with not only coronavirus cases, but pitcher injuries (26:21 - 28:43) - and that could be a huge problem due to the shortened season.

The Buffalo Bills are in camp (28:44 - 35:24), and are dealing with several covid cases, and a couple of opt outs. And then there's the injuries. That's why it's a good thing they have Sean McDermott's leadership. Josh Allen has hit the books (35:25 - 37:55) as he looks to step up this season, a great sign for Bills Mafia.

Antonio Brown is on the market (38:32 - 40:54), and several teams have interest - hear who Carl thinks has a good shot of signing the controversial wide receiver.

Stadiums cost billions - and without fans this season (40:55 - 43:59), will there be reluctance to build new stadiums, in places like, say, Buffalo?

The XFL is back, thanks to The Rock (44:00 - 45:07) - why Carl thinks this a great thing for the NFL...

Talking about one of the NFL's great coaches (45:08 - 50:08), as Kyle Shanahan shared some coaching thoughts with Chris Simms recently...

Carl looks at the NBA & NHL Bubbles (50:09 - 53:14) and the potential of Zion Williamson to dominate the game.

Finally, a golf major this weekend (53:15 - 54:40)

MLB: The Clown Show - Marlins hit by COVID19, Manfred's leadership - and is Josh Allen a Top 100 NFL player? Plus more!

Tue, 28 Jul 2020 17:00:00 GMT

MLB: The Clown Show - Marlins hit by COVID19, Manfred's leadership - and is Josh Allen a Top 100 NFL player? Plus more!

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around', as Carl gives his thoughts on the Washington Football Team (00:45 - 01:20) before diving into the baseball discussion (01:30 - 04:06), with thoughts on the opening weekend of MLB.

Baseball has it's first Coronavirus outbreak in Florida (04:06 - 15:43), where the Miami Marlins have over 15 players and staff with positive results - and what does that mean for the teams they play against? Do the games continue if it's the Yankees with an outbreak? Is the season in jeopardy?

Rob Manfred is the commissioner, and the voice of MLB: The Clown Show (15:44 - 17:56) - his lack of leadership and putting the owners' greed first has led baseball to this place. That includes the rash of pitching injuries (17:57 - 21:59) due to the lack of a proper training camp.

The Toronto Blue Jays have finally decided on Buffalo (22:00 - 27:49) for their home field - what it means for Buffalo, and why the Pegula's wanted it...

More baseball - why the Yankees should build around Gleyber Torres (27:50 - 29:42), the fallacy of the new Extra Inning Rule (29:43 - 32:14) and what's going on with Sho Ohtani (32:15 - 33:35)

The NFL Top 100 players list is out (33:36 - 46:49) - and three Bills made the list, including Josh Allen. Colin Cowherd has a strong opinion on why Allen doesn't belong - and Carl has an answer for that.

Bills Camp is underway (46:50 - 57:55) and around the NFL players are opting out of the season, especially in light of the MLB news... is this the chance for the Bills to win the AFC East?

Speaking of the AFC East, the Jets have traded Jamal Adams to Seattle (57:56 - 01:00:23) and the Jets are looking to rebuild... again?

Carl looks at the NBA Bubble (01:00:24 - 01:04:52) and the Adventuries of Lou Williams in Magic City - plus, how about Bol Bol?

The NHL Bubble is a success so far (01:04:53 - 01:08:14) - but not for John Chayka, as the Coyotes make an example out of him.

Finally, Mike Tyson is Back! (01:08:15 - 01:09:08) and Carl is all for it...

Baseball Returns! Blue Jays in Buffalo? NFL's Money Woes, plus where does ESPN rank the Bills Future Power?

Tue, 21 Jul 2020 17:00:00 GMT

Baseball Returns! Blue Jays in Buffalo? NFL's Money Woes, plus where does ESPN rank the Bills Future Power?

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around', as Carl talks MLB's return (01:22 - 15:02) - and some of the terrible decisions from Rob Manfred, and the teams itself. Crowd noise pumped in? Cardboard cutouts in the stands? The schedule(15:03 - 17:00) - is Manfred a moron?

The Toronto Blue Jays can't play in Canada, and one of the potential homes for them is Buffalo (17:01 - 27:22) - Can the Bisons' home field support a MLB team, and its needs?

The NFL Owners and Players Association (27:23 - 37:01) have a lot to figure out before the season starts... Will there be a pre-season schedule? With no fans in attendance, and revenue shredded - how do player salaries change? Lots of big questions that have to be answered.

ESPN has unveiled their Future Power rankings (37:02 - 47:16) - where do the Bills rank? And what is the biggest reason they aren't ranked as high as they should be?

College Football will look very different this year (47:17 - 56:15), with several conferences pushing their seasons to spring, or cancelling - and what kind of schedule will the major conferences play? And what about Syracuse?

Carl looks at the Lakers (56:16 - 01:03:28) and the NBA bubble - depth will be huge for every team, but how does playing all your games on the same court effect your bench?

Finally, a look at Charles Barkley's (01:03:29 - 01:05:53) response to some of the recent high-profile anti-semantic comments from the Black community...

Yankees AL East Preview, The Bills Offensive Weapons ranking, Josh Allen - it's time to put up the numbers - and more!

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around', as Carl talks MLB and the issues facing the game as it attempts it's July 24th return (01:26 - 08:10) - like, where are the Blue Jays going to play? Buffalo?

Previewing the AL East, and predicting the New York Yankees win total (08:11 - 22:55) - do the Yanks have enough pitching? How do the Rays and Boston match up? Does a 60-game schedule benefit the Bombers? Plus, a thought on MLB's "Black out" policy (22:56 - 26:52)

ESPN has ranked all 32 NFL teams based on Offensive Weapons (26:53 - 42:09) - meaning Receivers and Running Backs... Where do the Bills rank?

Or will this be his last ride with Bills Mafia?

The Washington NFL team is officially getting a new name (42:10 - 44:13) - but why does it seem like Dan Snyder doesn't have his heart in the change...

Carl looks at Dak Prescott (46:01 - 53:50) and the huge decision the Dallas Cowboys have regarding his status - is he "Franchise-worthy"?

Plus, Carl's thoughts on NCAA Football playing this season (53:51 - 57:35) - and what teams Notre Dame could play if conferences only play games with-in their own league.

Mahomes makes $500 million, Washington needs a new name and Can Sports return amidst Coronavirus?

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around', as Carl talks Patrick Mahomes new contract extension with the Chiefs(01:04 - 07:32) - is he worth $40 to $50 million a year? And whatabout the Bills, and how they could have had Mahomes (07:33 - 17:24)... Carl tells you why it may not have worked out as well for Patrick in B-Lo...

The Washington NFL team needs a new name (17:28 - 22:05) - Hey, how about a new owner while were at it?

The NFL in prepping for a season has made the decision to cancel 2 pre-season games (22:06 - 27:32) - a decision they have wanted to do for a while now. But now, the question is, will the season be delayed?

Carl looks at Bryson DeChambeau (27:33 - 33:32) and his meltdown caught on camera - and the reaction he had afterwards... Maybe Bryson needs to chill out?

Plus, Carl's thoughts on the TBT tournament (33:33 - 35:47) - one of the few sporting events right now worth watching.

The Major League Baseball season is weeks away, but players are testing positive and others are opting out (35:48 - 45:39) - maybe everyone needs to listen to the Nationals' Sean Doolittle? In the NBA, a similar issue is happening (45:40 - 47:41) with players passing on the NBA bubble - meanwhile, the NHL (47:42 - 50:40) is soldering on, and named their top 50 prospects - which would make Sabres fans very happy.

Finally, a shout out to Isaiah Stewart and Quinton Rose (50:41 - 51:51) for doing something positive for the community, and a hardy thumbs down to Kim Pegula (51:52 - 54:52), who is really lacking in self-awareness.

The NFL Top 10 Coaches list is out (27:54 - 37:31) - is Sean McDermott in the top ten? Does he deserve to be? Is it Bills Mafia bias to think he's Top 10 material?

Carl looks at the QB's in the AFC East (37:32 - 42:24) now that Cam is signed... How would you rank them? Josh Allen, Sam Darnold, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and the Patriots combo of Newton and Jarrett Stidham - who's Number 1?

NASCAR stands with Bubba Wallace, MLB sets Return and Kim Pegula is to blame for the Sabres

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around', as Carl talks about NASCAR and Bubba Wallace (00:35 - 16:30)... as the sport outlaws the confederate flag - thanks to Wallace - and, in return, racism rears its ugly head, and a noose is found hanging in the garage of Wallace's car #43. From such an ugly moment, comes one that is beautiful to see - as the entire NASCAR community stands behind, and beside, Bubba Wallace.

Carl talks the mess that is Major League Baseball (16:31 - 34:21) - Yes, they've set a return for July 24th, with 60 games to be played. Universal DH. Expanded playoffs. And they've created a mess for future CBA negotiations. And, how will history handle a 60-game season? Will it even count in the record books?

Carl looks at the ugly situation in Buffalo with the Sabres (34:22 - 51:44) - and finds all the blame can land at the feet of President Kim Pegula. Rash decisions, scattershot leadership - and now severe cost-cutting moves.

Plus, Carl's thoughts on the return of sports with Coronavirus spreading across the South (51:45 - 55:27) - How will the NBA bubble work in Orlando? Will Golf continue if more pro's get sick? And, 23 Clemson football players have COVID19 - is that a stroke of luck for them?

Plus, Carl's thoughts on Sammy Sosa's appearance (31:54 - 32:55), not that Carl is a fashionista or anything...

Talking NFL (32:56 - 37:28) - a league now dealing with COVID19 as players on the Cowboys and Texans test positive - plus players getting injured in non-football situations...

The 49er's sign Shanahan to an extension - what does this mean for the Bills (37:29 - 41:38) and the contracts of Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane... the Bills have to sign them, right? Someone will if they don't... meanwhile, during a time of great civil unrest, Jerry Jones is awfully silent (41:39 - 43:37)

And a final thought on the NBA season, and the recent comments by Kyrie Irving (43:38 - 48:10) - should the league be concerned with playing during a time of protests? Or can the game help bridge the divide, and unite us?

Talking baseball - and maybe the lack of it (34:17 - 41:04) - can MLB and the MLBPA come to an agreement - or are we looking at a lost season for the American pastime? The NBA has a plan in place (41:05 - 44:04) and they are making it look easy...
