  • Gotta love The PHNX Sports Podcast (TPSP)

    This weekly podcast recaps the highs, lows, and everything in between for our Arizona sports specifically, and the occasional top storyline of sports at large.

    Makayla and Shawn are beyond entertaining and are exceptionally informative. Don’t let the casual format fool you- they are educated professionals… they just also like to have fun!

    I look forward to this show every week and I’m never disappointed.

  • Come on man!!

    Like ESPN says… ā€œCome on man!ā€ I listened to this podcast JUST because of the outlandish comments directed at Patrick Mahomes… TERRIBLE. The comments are out of line and that’s one thing… but the podcast isn’t even good!! It’s laughable. Come on man!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Kyler Murray Era is OVER. Is He a Top 3 Cardinals QB?
Q: Tim, how would you explain the stat on/off in basketball and why it can be confounding for viewers who aren't deep into analytics?
Tim explains that on-off data is essentially plus-minus over a season and is influenced by lineup context, roles, and who is on the floor; it should be interpreted with context and not taken as a definitive measure of a player's value.

Q: What do you think when you hear that name Aaron Rodgers?
