It has been a busy week, and we mean that in a good way--today we were at the CIF Southern Section Office to get the football pairings for the playoffs. We discuss that bracket, plus LBSU soccer and basketball, while leaving time for a full roundup of other CIF sports and how our LB teams are faring in them, and an extensive PT Slam that will get you caught up on their best blunders of the last 12 months or so. This next year looks to be even better.

This is a jam-packed episode to be sure, so if you just want to hear your favorite segment, here's a handy-dandy table of contents for you:

But regardless, there was plenty of drama this weekend on the Long Beach State playing field/court. Defeat with a twist for the men's volleyball team, records fall on the softball field, the tennis team asserts itself and a Dirtbags sweep.

Also, a Moore League baseball showdown that could change the standings - which, you may have heard, have Lakewood in first and juggernaut Wilson in second! Just click below to hear all about it!

Plus! J.J. is a racing fan. There's proof in the podcast! See what a 'lil Grand Prix can do? This is, of course, Sports Night!

Jason Leffler drives the red/black #38 Toyota for Braun Racing in NASCAR’s Nationwide Series, but he was born and bred here in Long Beach. Leffler was honored Wednesday night at Smooth’s Bar & Grille for his career achievements in all forms of racing, and his helmet and racing suit will be hung on the walls alongside other local racing greats (including driving legend and Leffler’s mentor, Parnelli Jones!).

Leffler took some time out to sit down with me and discuss Saturday’s race in Fontana, growing up a racing fan in Long Beach and the city’s best streets for driving.

The audio is a little diffivult to hear due to a packed house at Smooth's, so you may want to read the transcription at lbpost.com to follow along.

Thanks, and good luck on Saturday Jason!

What... a... game.

Oh, you didn't think that the Sports Night crew was just going to have a normal Super Bowl party, did you?

The LBPOST.com and Sports Night co-hosted a Super Sunday party at Smooth's Bar and Grille down on Pine and recorded a live, hour-long special Super Bowl edition available here! The place was packed and jumping with Giants fans (or Patriots haters).

It was truly a family affair, with Mike's (prophetic) mom, J.J.'s dad and Ryan's dad all in attendance and joining us on the podcast. We also stepped aside for a ladies' segment hosted by Mike's wife Shar, J.J.'s girlfriend Tracy and Ryan's girlfriend Nikol, who offered some suggestions on how we should fill our Sundays now that the NFL season is over.

Plenty of predictions, updates and game reactions, plus some very special interviews with former Dirtbag and current Devil Ray third baseman Evan Longoria, Smooth's owner John Morris on local sports legends and his thoughts on the NFL in Long Beach, and a quick word and announcement from LBPOST.com creator and publisher Robert Garcia.

In Mike's words, "We hope your Super Bowl was half as fun as ours... but it wasn't."

Tuesday night's 71-68 victory over the University of San Francisco marked a milestone for the Cal State Long Beach men's basketball team: once again they ended up in a scrappy, last-minute contest - only this time they came out on top. Episode Ten comes at you on location from the Pyramid directly after the game, and includes postgame quotes from head coach Dan Monson and two-guard Donovan Morris, who poured in a career high 26 points in the win.

Similarly, the LBPOST Sports Night podcast reached a milestone with its TENTH EPISODE!
