College Football Storylines, Shaquille O’Neal, NBA Drama, Random Awards & Last Take Worst Take | S1E18

Welcome to Episode 18 of the Breaks-down powered by 528 Collectibles. This episode kicks off with a bang as we recount Tom’s Bahamas experience, including his hilarious encounter with sports giant Shaquille O’Neal and his less hilarious encounter with Scott Van Pelt. You’ll love hearing about one of Tom’s most embarrassing moments.

After that, we transition into some insightful sports talk, covering James Harden, Julio Rodriguez’s insane hot streak, Nolan Schanuel getting called up to the bigs 40 days after he was drafted, Pep Guardiola, the Women’s World Cup, and so much more!

After some housekeeping, and for the first time ever, Producer Rew graced us with his presence on camera to deliver his new UFC segment. Which covered Weilli Zhang beating Amanda Lemos, Sugar Sean O’Malley’s big win, and Rew’s lovely interaction with Aljamain Sterling (big fans of his, even if he lost). 

For the meat of this episode, we delve into Adam’s favorite world, the world of college football. We get into Georgia’s 3-Peat chances, Caleb Williams’ Heisman campaign, Coach Prime and the Pac-12, as well as Alabama and Clemson returning to form. Not to mention, the potential QB controversy over at Texas with Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning.

You can count on Tom to bring in his Yankees and Knicks because he simply can’t help himself and don’t worry we also talk about the latest Hobby drama with Panini, Fanatics, and the NFLPA. As always, we finish up with Awards and Last Take Worst Take. Tune in for another episode packed with riveting sports analysis, engaging discussions, and our signature silliness mixed in.
