Off Duty Ads

The Off Duty ADs talk about the proposal for a new, opt-in division to the NCAA.  They also talk about youth sports halftimes, NIL and more trickle down to the high school level, and, of course, some fandom.

The Off Duty ADs talk about closing out the fall season.  They also discuss a little bit of NIL and the transfer portal, revisit their soccer corner, and a lot of fandom.

The Off Duty ADs talk about how parents are more-or-less stuck in today's youth sports climate.  They also welcome in a guest and discuss ancient radios and TVs, wonder about Mike's Halloween costume, and introduce a new soccer segment.

The Off Duty ADs talk about managing coaches' systems, particulary when you don't agree with the coaches' systems.  They also discuss plenty of fandom and our #1 fan, Mike's mom.

The Off Duty ADs talk about hosting homecoming, rivalries, and other big events.  They also discuss fireworks at games, supervising dances, and being old dads with young kids.

The Off Duty ADs talk about the messaging from ADs and coaches following the Colorado vs. Colorado State football game, how impressive Mike's teams have been (if we ignore the White Sox), Ryan's Browns in live action, and whether Mike's mom prefers episodes with or without him.

The Off Duty ADs talk about some of the pros and cons of hiring parents as coaches.  They also discuss their own stubborn kids, Mike as the elder statesman of the pod, weather issues, and Nebraska volleyball.

The Off Duty ADs talk about volunteer coaches in youth sports, the structure of youth sports, arthritis, little kid fights, and the American Gladiators.

The Off Duty ADs talk about staying engaged as a youth sports parent, hazing, and Kirk Cousins. 

The AL Garbage, NL Garbage, hot dogs, PBR pounders, and the potential for regularly published episodes in our future.

Hey, look; an episode in 2023!  It's a catch-up pod driven by the passing of our beloved #1 fan, Uncle Bill.  We cover a lot of ground with our fandom - most of it negative - but the band was back together for a night.

Mike was covided-out, so it's just Mark and Ryan talking about their bourbon collections, AD internships, female coaches and AD, not being ready to discuss Maverick yet, and Ryan's pseudo-ambulance driving skills.

The long-awaited post-July 1 episode includes additional good news from Mike about his Boy #2.  After some initial chatter, Mark describes his last school year, and then Mike (of course) has to chat about the White Sox.

It's just Ryan and Mark today because Mike became a Dad x2!  It takes a while, but the guys eventually get to some semi-professional content by chatting about NIL.

We know it's Tuesday, but there are no rules anymore!  Professional development, NIL, Rethinking Fandom, Candlebox, and the marching band.

We're back!  It's a new format with the same nonsense: a little of this, a little of that, some things that might be helpful, and a lot that won't be.   No guarantees for the time between this one and the next one, but for today, we're back.

Like Arnold, Slim Shady, and Michael Scott, we're back.  The people have demanded it, so we're delivering.  Enjoy.

The Off Duty ADs say so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodnight.  We also discuss our level of professionalism vs amateurism, the growth of HS AD podcasts, getting snubbed by the NIAAA, a handful of our longtime listeners, our t-shirt ideas, and a parting shot at Uncle Bill.
