Sports:Life::Super Sunday:Breakthrough
It’s Super Bowl weekend and the co-hosts are back with a new episode of the Sports is to Life Podcast. This episode begins with Smiley conquering one of his greatest fears, and Courtney trying her best not to laugh at him and be encouraging. Then the hosts tackle the NBA and fans behaving badly, a topic that should not be a thing during a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. At what point do fans realize that they should just be grateful to be outside their houses and at a game? Do better ‘Courtside Karen’.
Smiley and Courtney tackle Super Bowl all the storylines around the big game, on and off the field. With a Chiefs win, does that mean that Tom Brady is officially passing the torch to Patrick Mahomes? Or has it already happened? They also dive into the gender and racial diversity. Sarah Thomas will be the first woman to officiate a Super Bowl. Lori Locust, Maral Javadifar, Byron Leftwich, Todd Bowles, Eric Bienemy all on the sidelines. We give our predictions at the end with Courtney's faith in her favorite team hinges on Bruce Arians' hiring decisions.
Finally, Courtney shares a few memories from her time with the North Texas Super Bowl XLV Host Committee a decade ago. Smiley talks about his amateur golf tournament debut and gives a shoutout to the EST of WWE Bianca Belair after her Royal Rumble victory last Sunday.

Sports:Life::New Year:Same Story
We are back with rants and more of the intersection of sports and life with the first show of 2021. We kick it off with updates on #momlife and catch up on all the recent happenings in the sports world.
Smiley & Courtney talk about the latest impacts of COVID-19 on the sports world: the NFL playoffs, the College Football Playoff, the NBA, WWE and college basketball. They also recap the College Football Playoff semifinals between Clemson / Ohio State and Alabama / Notre Dame. Specifically, a rant about Dabo Swinney and the Fighting Irish 0-7 record in New Year's Six games.
Finally, Smiley shares his experience volunteering at the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl for the 9th consecutive year. This is the first sporting event either host has worked during the COVID era. In other Jacksonville news, the host discuss the Jaguars "winning" the #1 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft - the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes. This leads to another rant... about potential head coaches for the team, unfortunately including one Urban Meyer.

Sports:Life::Pandemic:Timing
We are back... just for a short while! Smiley and Courtney give some exciting updates on their lives and let y’all know what to expect from the podcast over the next couple of months.
Then they dive into the all the changes in the world of sports since they last chatted. From Courtney’s Lakers winning the wacky in the bubble 2019-2020 NBA Championship. Then they chat about the World Series and how the MLB handled the aftermath of the Dodgers win.
The rest of the show is dominated by football conversation... from college football and the current state of Florida State (spoiler - it’s not good), updates on the B10 and Pac 12 returning to the gridiron.
Then of course, the hosts talk the NFL, from COVID cases to the Jags and Courtney’s least favorite players on her favorite teams...
Thank you to all of our listeners who have continued to hang out with us during these crazy times.

Sports:Life::Bubble:Success
We are back... life is hectic for both of the co-hosts and well, sports news has been trickling in, but sports are back and so are we!
In this episode, Smiley and Courtney start with the inevitable name change of the Washington Football Team. After what seems like a million years, the team is dropping the racial slur as their nickname and entering the 21st century. Of course, it wasn't an altruistic change. The sponsors hit the team where it hurt: their pockets.
This show is all about bubbles! The ones that work in sports: NBA,WNBA, MLS, NWSL, and those who forgot how this virus works and didn’t setup a bubble: MLB, NFL, NCAA.
Oh, and pay attention to the ‘Life’ segment, because Courtney finally provides a convincing argument that Smiley is forced to agree with.
Plus, the Astros keep getting plunked, and Roy Jones Jr. is going to fight Mike Tyson, now in November.

Sports:Life::Black Lives Matter:Purpose
Welcome back. Smiley and Courtney are back after an extended break because, well, the sports world continued to be upended by the COVID-19 virus and frankly, there really wasn't much news. Plus, life was a bit off the rails between quarantine, home school and working full time.
In this episode, the co-hosts run down all the major sports plans to return. Starting with NBA and MLS heading down to Courtney's old stomping grounds at the ESPN Wide World of Sports at the Walt Disney World Resort (check out the brand language). With the number of basketball courts and soccer fields available on property - it is really the most magical place on earth. It works because Disney's goal is to keep guests on property from the time they arrive until they leave, so in this case it looks like they will achieve it.
The MLB is still working through the logistics and the business of a sport... aka the money. The league and the union are still trying to negotiate the start of the season - even though the draft happened last week.
The WNBA is working on a shortened 22-game season at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida - less than two hours from Walt Disney World as well.
Finally, Smiley and Courtney discuss the uncomfortable climate of the country with the events of the last few weeks. It is a bit therapeutic for them. But, the long and short of it is #BlackLivesMatter.
May 15, 2020
Sports:Life::Greatness:Humility
Sports are trying to find a way back as the world tries to open up. In this episode, the co-hosts discuss how the state's plan to reopen affect the world of sports - starting with FLORIDA. The UFC followed the WWE’s lead and held their first fight card in Smiley’s hometown - will this become a trend?
As the 1998 Chicago Bulls documentary The Last Dance (ie the Michael Jordan highlight reel) continues, Smiley and Courtney review episodes 7 & 8 and start to dive Into Michael Jordan’s leadership style. What is the true price of fame and greatness? What happens when you construct an image that you aren’t able to live up to? Especially when the public expects you to be a boy scout at every turn.
Finally, the hosts chat about the challenges the majors leagues are having on the business side of sports - payroll, gate receipts, revenues shortfalls etc. And, they close out the show announcing a new Instagram series, starting on Monday!! (check out https://www.instagram.com/sportsistolife/)
Apr 27, 2020
Sports:Life::Return:The New Normal
Episode 50... THANK YOU to everyone who has been with us since the beginning!! We hope that everyone is staying safe.
In this week’s episode, Smiley gets to go off on the WWE being designated an "essential" business by the state of Florida, Ronda Rousey and her continued difficulties with the WWE fans - basically he gets to entertain listeners with his thoughts on wrestling.
Then the hosts discuss the schedule shuffling of all the major sports leagues. Who is trying to re-arrange their schedule to the fall? Who is canceling their 2020 events? And, which leagues just don’t know yet? Also, college commissioners let the highest levels of the US government know exactly what it will take for college football to begin in the fall.
Finally, Smiley and Courtney chat about the sports ‘appointment TV’ with the long awaited ‘The Last Dance’ documentary premiering this past weekend.

Sports:Life::Sports Jobs:Recessed
For the first time, the Sports Is To Life Podcast went LIVE on Instagram!!
Courtney and Smiley were able to find a way to survive the 2008 recession when it came to sports jobs. However, the COVID-19 virus has forever changed the job landscape. Sports ended almost a month ago. We discuss the ripple effect that the coronavirus has had on the sports industry, from the hourly and freelance employees that are the backbone of most sport organization operations, all the way to the athletes who will only receive another check or two for their skills.
Special events such as the Final Four, Wimbledon, and British Open are all cancelled for this year while the Masters and the French Open are postponed till later in the year. The work that everyone has put into the Tokyo 2020 Olympics will have to wait until 2021!
The hosts also discuss the booming esports industry now that everyone is quarantined at home, from NASCAR's e-Racing to the NBA2K Player's Tournament. Also, WrestleMania still went on with no fans despite the wrestler's blood, sweat, and tears all around the Performance Center in Orlando.
Mar 22, 2020
Sports:Life::Coronavirus:Pandemic
So, this is the second time Smiley and Courtney taped episode 48 of the Sports is to Life Podcast. The original show was taped on Tuesday, March 10th. While that was a great episode, the world changed within 24 hours.
In this episode, the hosts yell about the Florida Senate continuing to show their incompetence, by declaring the Florida State Men’s Basketball National Championship - yea no! Also, more yelling about the US Soccer Federation continuing to get it wrong... resulting in the resignation of their CEO. Who was replaced with... wait for it, a woman.
Finally, the hosts talk about the impact of the COVID-19 on the sports world and share how it’s impacting their real life.... Surprise (*sarcasm)! it’s a doozy.
Mar 22, 2020
Sports:Life::Labor Peace:Leverage
Going back in time... to the Kobe memorial ceremony. Smiley and Courtney discuss the impact of the ceremony from a women's sport perspective, along with strength shown by Vanessa Bryant, and the lasting effects of Kobe’s legacy. Also, everyone's opinion that Michael Jordan’s remarks were his greatest speech ever, while he gave us permission for a new MJ crying face meme.
Next is a chat about the boxing heavyweight championship fight where Deontay Wilder wore a 40 pound costume that he claims left him with ‘dead legs’ in the 7th round in his loss to Tyson Fury.
Most of this episode, Smiley gets to vent his frustrations about how the Jacksonville Jaguars are run. Players are leaving left and right. The owner is making back to back London games a certainty, and Jags fans are livid. This leads into a discussion about the labor peace in the NFL, The hosts dissect the proposed collective bargaining agreement, that has since been passed by the players, who had the upper hand in negotiations. The critiques will still be valid but the deal is done until 2030. Yay for 17-game regular seasons, we guess. How long before 18?
Feb 16, 2020
Sports:Life::XFL Version 2:Offseason Success
This week, Smiley and Courtney start off with a recap of Super Bowl 54. The "Year of the Black QB" is official with Patrick Mahomes RAISING the MVP trophy for the victorious Chiefs. Also, they chat about the halftime show and the outrage police who got mad about stripper poles, even though THE SAME PEOPLE created a workout class series about pole dancing.
This show is dedicated to the XFL, which is back and supposedly better than ever. The hosts discuss the new and improved league and whether it has a chance to survive. This sparks another discussion as to whether people actually want more football or if it’s just a default setting and whether missing football makes the heart grow fonder.
This show notes are coming to you LIVE from the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort.

Sports:Life::Kobe:Mamba Forever
Umm... you alright? Text from Smiley to Courtney on Sunday afternoon.
This is the show we never actually expected to do. We never expected to have to say goodbye to one of the greats in our generation... unless we keep doing this show for 10+ years. But, on Sunday morning that changed. Kobe Bryant, along with eight others, including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, were all killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, CA.
In this show, the hosts speak off the cuff. There was no outline. They just talked about what the Black Mamba meant to them - the legend, the legacy and the (family) man.
#RIPBlackMamba #RIPMambacita

Sports:Life::2019 LSU:Money
In the first official show of 2020, the hosts check in during a pretty busy day in the world of sports news. They kick off the show with latest in the Houston Astros cheating scandal, at the time of taping Major League Baseball has issued their report naming the now former GM and Manager of the Astros, the manager of the Red Sox and the manager of the Mets by name. With the 2017 and 2018 World Series Champions called into question, two things were clear... the Los Angeles Dodgers are the biggest loser and the Washington Nationals saved baseball.
Next up, the WNBA announced a new collective bargaining agreement that pushes the bar forward in women’s sports and takes care of the players. This deal proves that leagues can work with their unions to reach deals that reflect the partnership between the league and its players.
Finally, the hosts recap the College Football Championship, how the game went on the field, the storylines surrounding it, including Odell Beckham Jr. and his costly stunt on the field after the game and what’s next for LSU and Clemson.
Oh and as mentioned in the show here’s the clip on targeting, in which FSU LB Nigel Bradham was ejected for a hit to the chest while standing flat-footed on the ground. FSU fans may still get heated over this play. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGYwJaqIzLU)
Don’t forget to stay until the end, where the hosts chat about all the last minute events that they didn’t have time to mention in the show.

Sports:Life::2020s:Changing of The Guard
Is this the first episode of 2020 (available to all of you) or the final episode of 2019 (taped)?
Welcome to the Sports is to Life Podcast, new decade, new and improved co-hosts, or a least a couple of friends who are trying to make their 2019 podcast resolutions come true in 2020.
In this episode, Smiley and Courtney recap the College Football Playoff and whether Oklahoma should be allowed back in the next decade. Also, the hosts check in with their favorite turnover prone former FSU quarterback Jameis Winston as he makes NFL History, guaranteeing him a 30 for 30, but not the highly acclaimed documentary series.
New in 2020, the hosts admit they got it wrong about the the NBA's Christmas Day lineup.
Finally... the hosts concede that the next decade will bring new sports icons and new athletes will be the face of every sport: the NFL, NBA, MLB, PGA TOUR, WTA, name them all. Who knows who they will be in 2029?!?
Dec 18, 2019
Sports:Life::2010s:A Look Back
First up in this episode of the Sports is to Life Podcast, FSU has a new head coach. Mike Norvell was officially announced hours before taping this episode. Since then, defensive and offensive coordinators have been hired, the recruiting class has turned over and current players have declared for the NFL or entered the transfer portal. Smiley and Courtney chat about the hire and whether the school achieved their stated goals in the coaching search.
Also, this is the first year that Alabama is not in the College Football Playoff. The hosts discuss the teams that made it and their transfer quarterbacks, who are not playing for the team they did in 2018.
In general, this episode is really about the hosts reminiscing over the last decade, their favorite sports moments with their favorite teams on the field, and their own personal experiences manifested in the sports banner. Obviously, the Noles and Tiger Woods make the cut! As we enter the 2020s, this was a good chance for Smiley and Courtney to chat about how sports have affected their lives during the past ten years.
Nov 27, 2019
Sports:Life::Punishment:Absurdity
Welcome to another episode of Smiley and Courtney discussing all the the things, well all the people behaving badly.
BUT FIRST, with the National Basketball Association back in action, the hosts kick off the episode with a lightning round of the winners and losers of the opening month of the season, from the Lakers hanging out at the top of the standings to the Warriors quest for the number one pick in the 2020 draft. The NBA looks nothing like last year. NEXT, the hosts move on from the good to the bad... from the horrible injury to Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa injury to the latest drama with the Houston Astros forgetting that stealing signs is still cheating. And, on to the even worse... all the things in the NFL. From the infamous Thursday Night Brawl featuring Myles Garrett and Mason Rudolph, which included accusations of racial slurs, and punishments from which questions still remain. Oh, and the NFL hosted a tryout in Atlanta for Colin Kaepernick... Well, they were supposed to, at least. Finally, the absolute worst... Florida State still doesn’t have a head football coach and this entire thing is starting to look like a case study on how not to run an athletic department.Nov 08, 2019
Sports:Life::Coaching FSU Football:Cutthroat
Smiley's time on the Sports is to Life Podcast couch continues this week AND BREAKING NEWS, Courtney joins him as they lament the internal strife and struggle that seems to follow Florida State Football like a bad habit.
FIRST, the only bit of good news for Smiley as he talks about Tiger earning PGA TOUR victory #82 at the first PGA event ever in Japan, tying Sam Snead for the most TOUR victories of all time.
The NBA season started and one prediction made on a previous show has already come true with the team in Houston, plus the Lakers are winning and the Warriors aren't.
NOW, on to the therapy... Florida State fired head coach Willie Taggart this week, after 21 games,.. Yep, 21 games. Yep, that $17 MILLION buyout... paid. The hosts discuss where they found the money (that they claimed they didn't have), what they could've done with the money to ENHANCE THE PROGRAM and give ANY coach a fighting chance to get the ship righted. They also discuss all the firings and dismissals of high profile CEOs in the last week.
FINALLY, Courtney piled on to Smiley's already bad day as she documented her family's experience at the Washington Nationals World Series Championship Parade!

Sports:Life::Jalen Ramsey:Multigenerational Workplace
Welcome to Smiley's therapy session. In this episode of the Sports is to Life Podcast, the co-hosts take on workplace dynamics and the multi-generational workforce, discussing the conclusion of the Jalen Ramsey saga and his time with Smiley's favorite team the Jacksonville Jaguars.
First, the hosts talk about the drama surrounding Smiley's favorite MLB team, the Atlanta Braves and their early exit from the postseason by the St. Louis Cardinals - specifically how the War Chant and Tomahawk Chop played a part in their exit. This conversation is filled with Courtney's commentary on the Washington Nationals playing in the Game 1 of the World Series while they were taping.
The episode also touches on the now reviewable pass interference calls in the NFL that's not working out great for the coaches and is really just another overreaction rule change. Also, one high school football team's story sliding a suspended player into the lineup by just changing his number (do better folks!) led to atrocious consequences. Plus, the start of the NBA season with storylines galore and an injury to the league's newest star. Finally, Florida State's Athletic Director's colorful response to the rumors of a certain former UF coach coming to Tally.
Oct 13, 2019

Plus, the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks changing general managers for the first time in 20 years because of some locker room drama. And of course, the tweet heard across the Pacific... the cautionary tale of maybe... don’t press send.
Finally, the Washington Mystics are WNBA Champions and while the Atlanta Braves aren’t in the playoffs anymore, the Nationals have moved on to the NLCS! In the words (tweet!) of one former President, ‘If folks aren’t careful, this title thing might become a habit in DC’.
Sep 26, 2019
Sports:Life::Willie Taggart:Patience
So many things have changed since Courtney and Smiley taped this latest podcast episode!
The hosts took FSU fans to task about giving Willie Taggart some patience after an FSU booster had his four-year-old son sell lemonade to donate to Willie's buyout. Since taping, that booster donated that money to the booster program after FSU Twitter flamed him and apparently became patient!
Courtney and Smiley also tackled NFL topics, no pun intended. This included Antonio Brown, who, since taping, has been signed and released by the Patriots, and is now getting his degree at Central Michigan, and maybe trying to play again. It also included Jalen Ramsey, who at the time of taping, felt disrespected and wanted a trade. Since then, he's had the flu, a back injury, and is expecting a new baby. Jalen was despised by Jags Twitter at the beginning. Now it seems like a change of heart.
Other topics included California's Pay for Play Act, including Tim Tebow's wack argument, LeBron and Ohio State's failed trademarks, and Lavar Ball being real with his son Lonzo, and vice versa.
Enjoy our latest episode and everything that happened before and after!!

Then the hosts discuss Andrew Luck’s sudden retirement from the NFL and Colts’ fan’s reactions... hint, it was more of fans behaving badly.

Also, the hosts recap their experience at Podcast Movement and taping episode 35 together for the first time.
Oh... and Steph Curry, Howard golf and Tiger.

Sports:Life::Pain:Not Temporary
Are sports dangerous to athletes? This week the hosts chat about the recent deaths in the boxing ring. Where is the line? Is there a line?
The hosts also talk about Major League parks adding more netting to the stands in light of recent injuries to spectators. Does netting from foul line to foul line hurt the viewing experience? Should it matter?

Sports:Life::Youth Sport Parents:Inhumanity
While Courtney and Smiley were taping this episode, NFL free agency went from lukewarm to scolding hot! Odell Beckham Jr. was literally traded to the Cleveland Browns as the hosts were prepping to the tape the show.
They kicked off the show with Smiley giving his opinion of Nick Foles joining the Jags. Then they dived into OBJ’s trade to the Browns that included S Jabril Peppers and a 1st and 3rd round pick. Plus, Antonio Brown is finally free from the Steelers and headed to the west coast and the Oakland Raiders. So the real question becomes Raiders or Browns for the new season of Hard Knocks. Both teams promise to have their share of drama with the cast of characters assembled. Then the hosts dive into the youth sports. The Florida Athletic High School Sports Association sent a “mission statement” to parents asking them to ‘Cool It’. Which leads into the cheating scandal that rocked the news cycle - because one of the mechanisms used to guarantee admission for the students was via the athletic department, especially at the University of Southern California. By the end of the episode the conclusion was, people need to just do better.Mar 09, 2019
Sports:Life::Zion:Dat Money
What had happened was... corrupted audio files called for the hosts to re-tape episode 24. It also means, we will also be putting out another episode next week before returning to our regular schedule.
In this episode, Smiley and Courtney are back for episode 900 of ‘Men Behaving Badly’ otherwise known as the Sports is to Life Podcast... They run down the latest on Robert Kraft and Jason Brown from ‘Last Chance U’, showcasing once again that doing the right thing matters.
Oh and as predicted, Bron and the Lakers have been eliminated from playoff contention... here’s to year one to the Bron in LA the experiment.
Finally, the host talk Zion Williamson, his shoe explosion, revisiting the one and done, the NBA and the always deflecting responsibility organization, the NCAA.
The most important part of the episode happens at the end because Smiley followed Beyoncé’s advice and ‘put a ring on it’!

Sports:Life::Decisions:Family Effort
Just in time before the NBA All-Star Game, This week old conversation between Smiley and Courtney is once again centered around decisions. Notably, those made recently by Kyler Murray, Anthony Davis, and four-star football recruit Nick Cross.
Kyler Murray has decided to go strictly to the NFL. At his size, how will that decision affect his long term success as a professional football career. Anthony Davis did not get traded. How did the decision to make his trade demands public affect his future as a restricted free agent this summer? How will the decision of the Pelicans' GM not trading AD affect his future? (Spoiler, he's been fired since the taping.)
Finally, former FSU commit Nick Cross couldn't come to Tallahassee because his parents wouldn't sign his letter of intent. They wanted him to go to Penn State. (Spoiler, he stayed close to home and committed to Maryland.) This debacle was the focus of the hosts' conversation about decisions and how much our parents affected the decisions that we made as young adults.
We barely talked about the Super Bowl because, well, the Patriots. We didn't talk about the halftime show either because, well, Maroon 5.
The Sports Is To Life Podcast reached a milestone this episode. Happy Anniversary to us! One year down, who knows how many more to go! We thank all of our listeners thus far!

Sports:Life::Super Bowl:Refs and Weather, Oh My!
Welcome to Super Bowl Week! While fans and #sportsbiz folks are flocking to Atlanta, GA and Mercedes Benz Stadium for Super Bowl LIII, Smiley and Courtney recap how we got to Patriots vs Rams, while harping on the fact that two of their previous predictions came true...
... the Patriots are in the Super Bowl for the millionth time, because, of course they are!
... and the Seminole men's basketball team, who went from ranked #9 after their loss to Duke, ended up unranked, before recently creeping back in at #25 right before taping this podcast while beating the 'Canes...
This is also the officiating episode that the co-hosts have always talked about. It just so happens there was this no call during the NFC Championship game that brought this topic to light. Our resident Sports Is To Life referee Smiley talks about his officiating journey while divulging his own worst calls ever as a referee.
The co-hosts also cut it up about Serena's choke at the Aussie Open while she tries to make history, and the Warriors’ trip to DC and their presidential visit, which is not what you think... THE ULTIMATE shade!
The only Super Bowl Prediction that we have is... Go Rams!

Sports:Life::NFL and CFP Playoffs:But Why?
In this episode of the Sports Is To Life Podcast, the hosts tackle the topics of the week. Basically, they got lucky all the sports related news that dropped on Monday before they taped the show.
First, the hosts also react to Heisman Trophy winner and Oakland Athletics' first round draft pick Kyler Murray declaring for the NFL Draft. Is he leaving money on the table for the potential to be a starting quarterback for an NFL team? Is the guaranteed money of the MLB, better than the notoriety of being a starting QB?
Next, Courtney and Smiley chat about the College Football National Championship. Specifically, Clemson's quick and early visit to the White House, and the Commander-In-Chief serving world class athletes celebratory McDonald's and Wendy's. Their nutritionist would not approve.

Sports:Life::Urban Meyer:Not Dotting The "i"
Courtney and Smiley dissect the most recent Ohio State scandal regarding Urban Meyer and his former assistant coach Zach Smith who was an alleged domestic abuser. They debate who is at fault. Is it the coach? Is it the university?

NEWSFLASH: The Tour de France doesn't have a women's race. Why, in 2018, cycling doesn't have a version of its most famous race for women cyclists, who knows? The hosts discuss and spend the majority of the conversation just confused.
Of course, since Tiger was leading during the back nine of the Open Championship, Smiley spends too much time talking about his favorite and Courtney tries not to roll her eyes too much.
