S6, Ep36 – Judge vs. Ohtani, Knicks Grit, and NFL Shakeups

On this week’s episode of Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank, Dan and Frank are joined once again by Allen “Action” Jackson via phone and the always-reliable Rich Vassallo in the studio. The crew opens with some laughs, some 1-877-car-donation jingles, and then dives headfirst into a lively debate: Who's the best player in baseball—Shohei Ohtani or Aaron Judge?

Frank backs his Mets, Allen sticks up for his Yankees, and Dan grumbles about the Phillies. Baseball is rolling, Rivalry Weekend is underway, and opinions are flying faster than a Judge home run.

In the NBA, the guys break down the Knicks’ surprising playoff run, criticize Boston’s over-reliance on the three, and agree that the West (led by OKC or the Timberwolves) looks much stronger heading into the conference finals.

The NHL playoffs get a quick spotlight, with Frank rooting for Edmonton and Dan still salty about the Devils’ trap-era glory days. Plus, we’ve got hot takes on Brock Purdy’s massive new contract, a heated debate on the NFL’s proposed playoff seeding change, and early thoughts on the recently released 2024 NFL schedules.

All this, plus Fox Brothers Alarms, cookie shoutouts, and even some high school slang confusion. Sports talk with laughs, insights, and just enough chaos to keep it honest.

This week on Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank, we welcome special guest Tyler Morrow to the mic for the first time! It's the Frank Thomas episode—celebrating No. 35 and the Big Hurt’s big career—as the crew digs into the NBA Playoffs drama. The Knicks stun the Celtics to go up 2–0, and Dan and Frank debate Boston’s three-point woes, Jason Tatum’s leadership, and Porzingis’s familiar disappearing act.

We also check in on the Warriors’ struggles without Steph Curry, the Cavs’ shocking hole against Indiana, and whether OKC’s blowout win signals a power shift in the West. Meanwhile, Draymond Green’s antics get called out, and Dan recounts a memorable night in the nosebleeds seeing Shaq in his prime.

Shifting to hockey, we talk NHL Playoffs chaos, cheap shots vs. hard hits, and Frank and Tyler go head-to-head over the Devils and Rangers. Finally, Dan calls out ESPN and Disney for their staggering hypocrisy on political messaging, sparking a fiery take on woke sports culture.

All this plus Fox Brothers Alarms, obscure movie quotes, and rich basement vibes. Sports, honesty, and plenty of laughs—just the way you like it.

S6, Ep34 – The Shaquille O'Neal Episode (Not Herschel Walker)
This week on Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank, Dan and Frank are back behind the mic for a lively Shaquille O'Neal-themed 34th episode (sorry, Herschel). The guys dive deep into the NBA Playoffs—celebrating the Knicks' thrilling win over the Pistons, saying goodbye to LeBron and the Lakers, and debating if Boston can stay healthy enough to take it all. Dan tries giving the NBA a second chance while Frank remains cautiously hopeful.

They also hit the NHL playoffs, talk Rangers coaching changes, and preview the future of Canadian teams. Over in the NFL world, the guys unpack what they call an “eat your vegetables” draft, discuss George Kittle’s extension, and consider Jalen Ramsey’s trade rumors.

There’s movie trivia, tangent confusion (tandem vs. tangent?), and a heartfelt plug for Fox Brothers Alarms. Come for the sports, stay for the laughs—and don’t forget to email the show (please… Dan really wants to give away shirts).
