The Dudes of Davie (DOD)

There is one month left in America's favorite sport and it's the playoffs!  Join us as we discuss the good, the bad and the ugly from this past regular season.  We then dive into America's current darling, the Detroit Lions, securing a first round bye and home field advantage through the playoffs.  We have waited a year to have season ticket holder and die hard Lions fan, Dylan Beznos on the pod, and we finally did it.  Dylan joins us from Detroit to share his passion and insight into Dan Campbell's beloved knee biters.  As usual, when we talk football, Nephew Brennan joins us to give us his hot takes.  The four of us share our playoff and super bowl predictions.  Will it be the season of destiny for the Lions?  A three peat for Andy and Mahomes?  Will Lamar or Josh Allen finally break through?  Perhaps some Harbaugh magic?  Tune in to find out.

Everyone loves sports, flashy plays, mvp performances and of course championships.  But, in order to achieve all that, there is something that everyone counts, tracks, studies, and utilizes to their advantage, and those are Analytics and Data.  The DOD welcomes analytics guru in the making, Brody Kwiat to the pod.  We discuss how Brody has taken his knowledge of math and love of sports and merged them to develop algorithms and models to predict performance and anticipate results.  Brody walks us through his background, some of his models and gives us a peak behind the statistics curtain.  If you want some insight into how to become better at fantasy football, develop a new perspective while watching baseball and simply want to figure out how to gain an advantage when predicting sport outcomes, you need to listen to this podcast.

The Dudes of Davie welcome back their longtime NBA correspondent, Andrew Geiger, from New Orleans.  Special guest alert, the DOD is proud to have its first ginger join the pod, with his cockeyed optimism and flair for 80's and 90's basketball references, we welcome Michael Edelman.
 
Right out of the gate, we will discuss our panel's reaction to the Paul Knepper Knicks interview.  We follow that up with our initial impressions of the first few weeks of the NBA season.  The East looks like a three-horse race with the Celtics looking prime for a repeat.  The Knicks and Cavs in the second tier and the free-falling Sixers about to implode.  The West has more stars than a planetarium and every night a different one appears to shine.  The Pelicans have driven Andrew to the brink and he believes its time for them to go.

The Dudes of Davie are joined by Paul Knepper, author of The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakely, Starks, and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All.  
We delve into those 1990's Knicks teams, the personalities, the drama and the villains.  Paul shares some insights into his journey to write such a passionate and comprehensive book about the lovable New York bruisers.  We were very fortunate to have Paul on the pod and we hope our listeners are as captivated and interested as we were.
 
Paul Knepper grew up on Long Island and attended Michigan University.  He recently finished a biography of basketball legend Moses Malone, which will be published in 2025.  With over 250 people interviewed for this book, we cannot wait to read about one of the most underrated big men in the history of the NBA and one of Hakeem's Olajuwon's favorite people.

The Dudes of Davie welcome back their esteemed panel of baseball experts.  Vince from Philly, Justin from LA but is a diehard Cubs fan and Alex who is the only one who actually played the game, share their opinions as we discuss the passing of Pete Rose, historic seasons from Ohtani and Judge, the MVP and Cy Young projected winners, sensational rookie seasons by Paul Skenes and Bobby Witt Jr. and who is going to win the World Series.  It was a record setting season, and we attempt to do it justice.
