Beyond Reason with Gage DansbyQuick Take: History of Lillard vs. WestbrookA quick recap on the history of the rivalry between NBA point guards Damien Lillard and Russell Westbrook that began way back in 2016. Since then the trash talk has been off the rails and culminated into one of the greatest rivalries in the modern NBA, and the playoff series between the Trail Blazers and Thunder took that rivalry to a whole new level. Gage breaks down every antic Russ and Dame had in the series, and how Lillard got the ultimate last laugh by sinking one of the greatest buzzer beaters in NBA playoff history.
2019-04-2613 minBeyond Reason with Gage DansbyApril 11, 2019: The Nike Bribery ScandalIt seems that controversy in the world of college basketball never seems to stop. Months after the FBI and NCAA's joint investigation indicting Adidas employees regarding the bribing of players to attend colleges that they outfit, now Nike is being accused of doing the same thing. Plus, Dwane Wade and Dirk Nowitzki are celebrated for their tremendous careers as they retire, and how we should be more lenient on referees.
2019-04-1222 minBeyond Reason with Gage DansbyApril 5, 2019: Too Much ZionThe Final Four is finally hear, but it wasn't exactly the smoothest road to get here. Sports media has been drooling over Zion Williamson the moment he announced his commitment to Duke basketball last year. Since then, you couldn't escape the name Zion even if you tried. Sports media was talking about him at every waking moment and salivating over his talent. But now that Duke isn't in the Final Four, what do they do? Simple, lower their recognition and respect to the team that beat them: Michigan State. From digging up old controversies to flat out ignoring the...

Gage breaks down the careers of these athletes and their impact on the sport to give them a proper send off. But things might not seem so simple, people are skeptical around two of these retirements even being real, and how they might just be ploys to gain publicity and money.
Spoiler Alert: the athletes are Rob Gronkowski, Jordy Nelson, TJ Lang and Connor McGregor. Guess which retirements people are skeptical about...

Additionally, Gage touches on how it seems that the ACC is the golden child that can do no wrong for the NCAA tournament selection committee, making all other conferences look second-class (even if they deserve more recognition than ACC teams).

2019-03-1527 minBeyond Reason with Gage DansbyFeb. 22, 2019: "Kraft"ing a WarrantThis week tackles how New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft might have celebrated his team's Super Bowl victory a little too much, since he was just charged with solicitation of a prostitute in Juniper, Florida. Additionally, Gage talks about the Manny Machado contract with the San Diego Padres that is now the second biggest player contract in professional sports history (and how Machado could be the saving grace for a city that continues to lose it's sporting footprint).

All the major trades are discussed and which ones will potentially have the best outcomes. Then we go to the NBA all-star game, where the conspiracy is that LeBron is using his captain status to his advantage for free agency (a.k.a using his draft picks to try and lure free agents to Los Angeles).

And according to Sergei, 9 months doesn't seem bad in the grand scale of things. Next, betting odds for the Super Bowl are discussed which inevitably leads to the best commercials and memes the Super Bowl had to offer in previous years. Finally, I breakdown the blockbuster trade between the New York Knicks and the Dallas Mavericks that, because of the way it went down, doesn't seem like it was just because...
2019-02-0255 minBeyond Reason with Gage DansbyJan. 21, 2019: The Not-so-Super BowlThis episode recaps the NFC and AFC championship games and how missed calls by the refs created a tainted Super Bowl with teams that might not deserve to be there in the first place.

2018-11-2934 minBeyond Reason with Gage DansbyNov. 15, 2018: "You know who John Daly is?"A lot of hostilities seem to be going on the world of sports these days. From a Division III basketball player punching his opponent in the face in the middle of a game, to Kevin Durant and Draymond Green arguing over a final possesion, or Pittsburgh Steelers players rummaging through LeVeon Bell's locker now that he's kicked to the curb, it seems to be a gloomy day indeed. But fret not, this week also touches on the 2018 Cy Young winners, the legend that is John Daly, reminiscing on high school fitness requirements and the Army using video game tournaments for...
2018-11-1553 minBeyond Reason with Gage DansbyNov. 8, 2018: "Economy Class to Mars"This week's episode starts off with the recently passed NFL trade deadline, where for some reason the Detroit Lions thought it was a good idea to trade one of their best receivers for a 3rd round draft pick. Classic Lions indeed. Next comes the latest standings in the college football playoff, and how current #4 seed Michigan can keep their rank to represent the Big Ten only to probably lose to the behemoth that is Alabama. In the basketball sector I debate what's more important: a great individual performance or a team win? Finally, we end with the top news story...
2018-11-0851 minBeyond Reason with Gage DansbyNov. 1, 2018: The Petty Wars & Durkin's DepartureWhile most of the NBA has been celebrating Halloween the old fashioned way (dressed in costumes for the walk to the locker room, horror movie reference while they play, etc.) Jimmy Butler is trying to create a real life horror flick with the Minnesota Timberwolves, by intentionally placing himself on the injured reserve. Meanwhile, The University of Maryland's athletic department had a sudden change of heart and decided to fire head football coach DJ Durkin just 24 hours after they told everyone he was going to stay. You can thank one group for that: the players. Finally, I close out with...

Additionally, we talk about how fights in major sports have changed over the years and a look at some of the...

We also dive deep into the Michigan vs. Michigan State rivalry ahead of their football game on October 20, and bring up the beginning of the NBA season, which somehow leads to the perfect basketball short height, wondering where Lavar Ball went, naming off NCAA athletic scandals and the possibility of 21 Savage creating a cooking show. Just listen we'll explain.
2018-10-1948 minBeyond Reason with Gage DansbyOct. 11, 2018: LeverageAn episode full of updates and occasional rants. What could go wrong? Specifically I talk about:
Updates to the Khabib vs. McGregor fight and aftermath. What's going to happen to Khabib and why I think McGregor doesn't deserve a rematch just yet.
Jimmy Butler decided to give the Minnesota Timberwolves an earful to players, coaches, and management during his first ever appearance at practice this season. But here's the catch, Butler has all the leverage.
LeVeon Bell's contract dispute with the Steelers seem to never end. But something needs to happen fast. He needs to play, not just for the...

2018-10-0742 minBeyond Reason with Gage DansbyApr 21, 2018In this episode I talk about the NHL playoffs, including the unbelievable run by the Vegas Golden Knights, who have the potential to win the Stanley Cup in their first year of existence. Additionally, I talk over what teams to look out for and my concerns about the NBA playoffs, including the ignoring of one of basketball’s most fundamental rules that threatens the entire league: traveling.
2018-04-2125 minBeyond Reason with Gage DansbyApr 7, 2018This week’s episode covers the episode of UFC fighter Conor McGregor’s rampage on the UFC 223 media presser, why he did it and how it could mark an end for his career in the UFC.

2018-04-0723 minBeyond Reason with Gage DansbyMar 31, 2018On this episode I talk about Facebook’s Cambridge Analytica scandal and explain how major tech companies invade privacy all of the time. As the Silicon Valley saying goes, if you’re not paying for the product, then you are the product. Additionally, I touch on the crisis at Howard University and it’s financial aid office, where a student worker and various faculty conned students out of more than $435,000 in financial aid.
2018-03-3123 minBeyond Reason with Gage DansbyMar 18, 2018Today I recap the NCAA tournament, including all of the upsets that no one saw coming, specifically UMBC taking down Virginia, making them the first 16 seed to ever beat a 1 seed in tournament history.
2018-03-1819 minBeyond Reason with Gage DansbyMar 11, 2018Final preparation for March Madness, arguably the best time of the year in sports and how the ongoing NCAA corruption scandal might impact viewership. The time of year for new music for the spring/summer is upon us, Xbox brings back it’s hideous “Duke” controller that debuted in 2001, and the Cleveland Browns making trades left & right, causing me to speculate that they might be doing too much in too little time.
2018-03-1120 minBeyond Reason with Gage DansbyFeb 27, 2018In this episode I talk about the payment corruption scandal that is currently sweeping the college basketball world. The FBI is involved and says that the contents of the investigation could only change college basketball, but the entire NCAA and it’s student athletes. I give a breakdown of how this whole thing started, my interpretations on the investigation (including a rant on how I think the NCAA is completely corrupt), and what might the future entail for college athletics. Spoiler alert: it involves the end of the NCAA altogether.
