BOLD Sports: Episode 23

Sorgatron Media — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 08:00:00 -0500

This week's episode kicks off with some Olympics talk. Between a medal breakdown for Team USA, and some general recap, Matt and Steve touch on some of the Winter Olympics highlights. Matt gives a rundown of the Pittsburgh River Hounds, including a special thank you to Christina Dikerson of Dickerson Creative for the event with the River Hounds at Highmark Stadium. After the break it's back to our regularly scheduled sports talk with some MLB updates as workouts are underway. Although the NFL season is over, there's still some things worth talking about - especially franchise tags. On to hoops action, Matt and Steve have a rundown of NCAA updates. If you haven't heard the news about a certain team vacating wins between 2012-2015 (including a National Championship during that time), you may want to tune in to get up to speed. Then, it's on to NHL news to take the show home. Matt and Steve are talking about some Penguins updates - on and off the ice.
