  • Great analysis/Go CT lax!

    Dan does a terrific job each week and goes with his gut and what he’s seen with every game and team out there regardless of other opinions. I love the CT shoutouts and hope to meet him at local Wick or Prep game soon.

  • Great pod

    Dan is really the goat of lacrosse media. I listen to and enjoy a lot of lacrosse podcasts but if you want the best genuine coverage of the sport this is the pod. (His new one with Donny The College Lacrosse Show is also great.)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Midseason PLL Check in with Mike Rabil
Q: When could weekday games or non-traditional slots become a reality?
They indicate progress toward weekday games is possible with the right broadcast partner and local ownership support, but timing depends on partner commitments and player consensus.
Midseason PLL Check in with Mike Rabil
Q: Given the fundraising, how will the money be used to impact players and markets?

Midseason PLL Check in with Mike Rabil
Q: How's the first half been?
Rabil explains the early start and WLL integration, emphasizing growth in competition and parity, plus the challenges of launching a new season format and venues.
Lacrosse Video Games, Weekend Preview, and PLL Draft talk with Adam Lamberti
Q: What were your initial reactions to Aidan McGuire going first overall and how did that choice ripple through the rest of the night?
McGuire's selection surprised some at first but made sense in hindsight given Bates' enthusiasm for him and the evolving way teams value multi-positional threats; it also set expectations that other GMs would recalibrate around that pick.
PLL training camp, a new Pro Day, and Terry Foy talks NCAA Bracketology
Q: What makes Pro Day different from traditional tryouts and why is it important for fringe players?
Pro Day provides a mass showcase with drills and live scrimmages that can bring overlooked players into view for all eight PLL teams, potentially enabling a roster opportunity that traditional camps and networks might miss.
