About A&A Sports Show
A&A Sports Show is a casual, high-friction sports conversation led by Anthony Cortez with Alexander Ashley and Kevin Rowe alongside him. The show is not polished debate-club sports media. It is three friends working through the week in sports, correcting each other, needling each other, and occasionally losing the thread in ways that become part of the texture. MLB sits closest to the center. The hosts spend long stretches on playoff races, division previews, preseason power rankings, free agency, team depth, injuries, and the consequences of roster-building decisions that do not pay off. The Yankees, Dodgers, Padres, Giants, Cardinals, Blue Jays, Red Sox, and Rays all surface in the sampled conversations. Football is just as ready to take over the room. Episodes move through NFL free agency, the AFC West, Dallas Cowboys frustration, Dak Prescott, Amari Cooper, Von Miller, Matthew Stafford's Hall of Fame case, and tournament-style hypotheticals for football. Basketball and college sports are part of the rotation too, especially NBA All-Star reactions and March Madness brackets. The show also wanders outside the box score. One episode opens with a question about regular clothes before shifting into James Harden and the Super Bowl, while another makes space for a broad discussion of Russia, Ukraine, and why world events sometimes matter more than the sports calendar. The rhythm is loose. A serious roster argument can turn into a jab, a correction, or a running joke about having one listener. That creates a familiar, unfiltered energy without losing the sports spine. The strongest episodes feel like a friends' argument with enough names, teams, and stakes to keep it grounded. It suits listeners who enjoy baseball-heavy sports talk but do not need every segment wrapped in radio polish. The show is opinionated, scattered, and often funny. It keeps returning to the same useful question: what should a team do next when the season, the roster, or the argument gets complicated?
Made for: Best for listeners who like informal sports talk, especially MLB playoff races, NFL roster arguments, and March Madness-style debates. It fits fans who enjoy friend-group chemistry more than tightly produced analysis.
What sets it apart: The show blends real sports detail with loose, recurring banter among Anthony Cortez, Alexander Ashley, and Kevin Rowe. Its appeal comes from the collision of roster talk, hypotheticals, jokes, corrections, and arguments that feel unscripted.
