EPISODE OVERVIEW

Kevin, D-Dubbz, The D.A., The Angry1, Dan K., Mike Mills, and Ryan DeSouza break down every sweep, every score, and every storyline — plus a heartfelt tribute to Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox, a fire WNBA locker room access debate, and The Crossover for full NBA Semi-Finals analysis.

Bobby Cox — 14 consecutive division titles with the Atlanta Braves, Hall of Fame career, champion of player development over analytics — passed away at 84.

🏒⚾🏀 NHL Playoffs. MLB Heat. WNBA 30th Season. Draymond Green HOF Debate. Sports Chasers EP. 511 — Thursday Night Live is here and it is PACKED.

Special guest Sandy Cohan — Mindset Coach, Speaker, Author, and former hockey player — joins Dan K. The Hockey Dude for a thorough Round 2 NHL Playoffs breakdown. Should Toronto trade the #1 pick? Is the playoff format broken? Who is going to the Stanley Cup Final? Sandy makes his pick and it may surprise you.

Then the panel rolls through MLB — the Braves' historic start, Aaron Judge chasing 400 home runs, and why the NL Central is the hottest division in baseball right now. The WNBA's 30th season gets a full preview including the expansion teams, Caitlin Clark Year 3, the New York Liberty's loaded roster, and Tina Charles' retirement. And the Draymond Green Hall of Fame debate? It gets REAL.

This is Sports Chasers — no narratives, no hot takes, all facts, all sports, all the time.

🎯 HIGHLIGHTED CHAPTER

🏒 NHL Playoff Format Debate — Is the System Broken?

Timestamp: 33:55

Dan K. The Hockey Dude and special guest Sandy Cohan make the compelling case that the NHL's current playoff seeding format is fundamentally unfair — pitting the league's best teams against each other in early rounds while protecting weaker opponents. They advocate for returning to a traditional 1-8 seeding structure across the entire league to ensure true competitive balance and preserve the game's best matchups for the later rounds. This is one of the most passionate and well-argued segments in Sports Chasers history. A must-listen for every hockey fan.

🎙️ Sports Chasers Episode 510 — The Weekend Rewind Monday Night Rewind | May 4, 2026 | Powered by Sports Chasers Media Group One of the most loaded Weekend Rewinds in Sports Chasers history. Kevin L. Warren (The Host & Moderator), D-Dubbz, The Angry1, and Ryan DeSouza cover a weekend that delivered historic sports moments and profound loss all in one frame. The crew opens with a heartfelt tribute to John Sterling — the legendary voice of the New York Yankees for 36 years — who passed away at 87. Sterling called 5,631 games, five World Series championships, and created some of the most iconic calls in baseball history. From there: David Benavidez KOs Zurdo Ramirez in Round 6 to become boxing's only THREE-DIVISION champion (168/175/200 lbs) in the debut of HAYMAKERS & CHIN CHECKERS with The D.A. and D-Dubbz. A sheriff's deputy/umpire is arrested at a Mississippi youth baseball tournament — and the crew doesn't hold back. Golden Tempo wins the Kentucky Derby at 23-1 from dead last, and Cherie DeVaux makes history as the first female trainer to win the Run for the Roses. Kimi Antonelli wins his third straight F1 race in Miami. Then it's NHL, MLB, and a full NBA playoff breakdown — including TWO historic 3-1 comebacks in the Eastern Conference first round.

⭐ HIGHLIGHTED CHAPTER ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🥊 HAYMAKERS & CHIN CHECKERS —

BOXING SEGMENT DEBUT Timestamp: 11:07 The D.A. (Dorian Albritton Sr.) and D-Dubbz (Darrell L. Warren) launch Sports Chasers' brand-new dedicated boxing segment. The debut topic: David Benavidez's HISTORIC Round 6 KO of Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez — making Benavidez the ONLY fighter in boxing history to hold world titles at super middleweight (168), light heavyweight (175), AND cruiserweight (200). He's 32-0 with 26 knockouts and immediately called out Canelo Alvarez. The crew debates whether Canelo takes the fight — and the conversation gets real. This is the most important new segment in Sports Chasers history.
