Up & In is back for 2026 with Episode 124. The NFL Playoffs are this weekend, but the off-season firings already started. Even though Mike McDaniel hasn't been canned, someone the Dolphins and the rest of the NFL covets, John Harbaugh, was let go from Baltimore after 18-seasons. Where will the Super Bowl winning head coach end up? Do the Dolphins have a chance?

Also, the Miami Hurricanes are one win away from playing for the national championship. We'll tell you if we think they'll beat Ole Miss, and if they have what it takes to win it all.

Baseball free agency continues. Some possible big trades may take place, and we go into who's winning the winter wars so far, and who's losing.

This week, we go deep into some of the most polarizing conversations in sports—and we’re not holding back. 👇

First up, the Contemporary Baseball Era Player Hall of Fame ballot voting is this weekend, and it’s STACKED with controversy and nostalgia. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens are on the ballot—will their peers finally vote them into Cooperstown? Is it time to forgive the Steroid Era and acknowledge that those players shaped baseball history, flaws and all?

But this one hits home for Armando… because two of his childhood heroes, Don Mattingly and Dale Murphy, are ALSO on the ballot. And let’s be real—it’s LONG overdue. These guys were icons, culture movers, and face-of-the-franchise talents. It's time they get their plaques in Cooperstown where they belong. 🏆⚾️

We also break down the sports betting crisis—players getting busted, scandals popping up everywhere, and leagues scrambling for solutions. We offer the fix that could finally end the madness.

PLUS, baseball free agency is heating up: 🔥 Devin Williams to the Mets 🔥 Who Juan Soto is dating and why the internet is losing its mind 🔥 Will the Yankees pull off a blockbuster and land Sandy Alcantara?

And if that’s not enough—we dissect the latest College Football Playoff rankings and explain why the entire system is broken. Expansion? Overhaul? More teams? Yes. Yes. And YES. 🏈

All that, and SO much more, right now on Episode 123 of Up & In.

On Episode 122 of Up & In, Armando and Mike are joined by a special guest and close friend — Fabian Camacho, a lifelong Boston sports diehard.

We dive deep into MLB Free Agency, breaking down the latest on the Yankees, Marlins, and Red Sox, and asking the big question: What must New York and Boston do now that Toronto has become a real power inside the AL East? We look at potential landing spots for stars like Pete Alonso and other major free agents and discuss why team culture matters just as much as talent — with icons like Derek Jeter and Shohei Ohtani proving that leadership goes far beyond the stat sheet.

Then we jump to the NFL, discussing what’s next for the Miami Dolphins after the firing of Chris Grier and back-to-back wins, and why the New England Patriots suddenly look revived under Head Coach Mike Vrabel, signaling a true cultural reset in Foxborough.

In Episode 121, Mike and Armando break down the Dodgers’ World Series victory and what truly separated them: base running and fundamentals. We highlight Andy Pages’ incredible catch, Kiké Hernández’s heads-up play, and Yamamoto’s all-time performance under pressure.

Then we shift into the offseason ahead and talk free agency: which big names could be on the move, who fits where, and how the landscape might shift across the league.

All that and more on this episode of Up & In.

In this week’s episode of Up & In, Armando and Mike welcome a special guest — Robert De Paz, founder of De Paz Golf, coach at Golf Academy USA, and coach of the Belen Jesuit Golf Team. A talented golfer himself with aspirations of turning pro, Coach Robby dives into the Golf Academy Program and how it’s helping young players develop through high-level instruction and mentorship.

He also discusses the implementation of Operation 36, a system that teaches kids golf from the green back — meaning they start at shorter yardages from the hole and gradually move farther out as their skills improve, until they’re eventually teeing off from the box.

The conversation explores the differences between teaching kids versus adults, how coaching golf compares to coaching baseball, and Robby’s own journey from player to mentor — including where he envisions his golf career heading next. The guys also discuss the surge in golf’s popularity and why so many kids are choosing the course over the court or field.

Then it’s on to the World Series: can the Blue Jays finish off the Dodgers in Game 6? Is Shohei Ohtani already the GOAT? And finally, will the Miami Dolphins build momentum off their last win, or fall flat against the Ravens?
