#001: Jon Lester Trade | Manziel vs. Hoyer | Lebron/Carmelo Weight Loss

August 20, 2014

CLNS Radio Content Manager Sean Bakke joins host Brian Langford and the sports podcast industry will never be the same again! In episode 1 of the re-vamped Evening Score Sports Podcast, Bakke and Langford dive into a variety of topics. 


Firstly, the Boston Red Sox made the biggest splash at the MLB Trade Deadline a few weeks ago by trading their ace pitcher Jon Lester along with Jonny Gomes to the Oakland A's for power hitting outfielder Yoenis Cespedes. Did the Red Sox make the right decision by trading Lester away rather than signing him to a long-term deal? What are the chances that Lester re-signs with the team after the season? Lifelong Sox fan Sean Bakke shares his thoughts and Baltimore/DC native Langford provides an outsiders view.


The NFL season is ready to kick off in a couple of weeks and the Cleveland Browns don't have a starting QB yet. Veteran Brian Hoyer is battling with polarizing rookie first round draft pick "Johnny Football" Johnny Manziel who claims he's not ready for prime time just yet. The guys give their thoughts on each QB, with Bakke following Hoyer since his days in New England and Langford still upset that Jerry Jones' son pulled the draft card away from his father preventing a Manziel/Tony Romo QB controversy. 


LeBron James is going home and Carmelo Anthony is staying there, sort of. Both have significantly slimmed down in the off-season and have received mixed reviews. Will the weight loss help each in the upcoming season? WIth Phil Jackson running the Knicks, did 'Melo do himself a favor by getting in better shape to run the triangle offense. Differing opinions are shared between the guys as they wrap up their first joint episode together.
