Episode 102: Peacock
On this week's Small Takes, the guys first race around the soccer world -- a new EPL season (and a new long-shot bet from Jeff?), MLS scheduling woes, and more European cups. Then, it's ALL college football on the eve of our first somewhat real weekend slate. A new season of Notre Dame football brings with it an unprecedented conference schedule and an unproven offense outside of Ian Book. The Pick Six covers the rest of the weekends biggest games, plus a few from the NFL.
Episode 101: Nothing Matters
On Episode 101 of the Small Takes, there's always another European soccer cup to learn about. Plus, the MLS is Actually Back. Then, the guys give their picks out of the East and West NBA Playoffs. And stick around to experience some very raw emotion about the Big 10's football cancellation - and hope for a fall season still.
Episode 100: Full Circle
It's the Small Takes centennial, and it's only fitting to have an episode is filled with nostalgia, callbacks, and off-topic discussions regarding baking. In the midst of that, though, the guys also find time for the latest and greatest around the sports world. They recap EPL's season ending and what to watch for in the MLS knockout stage; catch up on everything you forgot about the NBA since March; and finally, a bonus "double" conference preview for Big 10 and Pac 12 football.
Episode 99: Jaja Ding Dong
As the sports world begins to kick back into gear, the Small Takes boys could not be more excited. They provide soccer (especially MLS) with some much-needed shine (kind of) before moving onto a full round of MLB division previews. Then, with all the optimism they can muster, it's the first of hopefully many college football conference previews, starting with the ACC.
Episode 98: John Jarber
The guys break down return-to-play plans across the sports world -- the good (MLS, NBA), the bad (MLB), and the weird (CFB). Then, in the spirit of The Last Dance, it's a Fire Four of Sports Documentary Ideas that might land John a new career in filmmaking.
Episode 97: Back
The boys are back, even though sports aren't. There's still plenty to catch up on, from life events to quarantine activities. And a few sports topics, too - including The Last Dance debates and NFL Draft winners/losers.

With John's wi-fi down, the Small Takes are down a man, but the show must go on. Cooper and Jeff (and John, via text, occasionally) break down the first weekend of March Madness and jump on a few bandwagons for the rest of the tournament. Then, with the NBA Playoffs fast approaching, they discuss likely and unlikely contenders in the East and West. Plus, an all-over-the-place Dope or Not.
