Welcome to "The Mad Scientist's Sports Lab", the 2015 Online Media Award Winning Podcast by What A Fan, hosted by "The Mad Scientist of Sports" Nick Ficorelli and "The Apprentice" Andrew Gluchov. This is not the average everyday sports show they are bringing to the air waves. "The Mad Scientist" has created his own personal sports lab, and you, the audience, as well as many of his special guests, will be his test subjects. He will throw theories out, and you never know where they will be coming from. He will keep everyone guessing, and he will open his lab to any and all comers. Be prepared for "mad science" sports talk at its best.

This week we are talking MLB Playoffs, NFL Week 5, and of course "The News Of The Week". At the onset, we welcome back Allie Fontana for her weekly segment "Allie's Fantasy Alley" to delve into the starts and sits, injuries, and more about Week 5 for your fantasy football needs. In the second half hour, we have Thomas Harding of MLB.com and Mike Gianella of Baseball Prospectus to talk about the MLB Playoffs - the Division Series' in full swing, and possibly a tweak to the Wild Card system. At the top of hour #2, we have Turron Davenport of The Baltimore Times to talk more in-depth about NFL Week 5 and the launch of his new website on About.com. Finally, to anchor the show, The Mad Scientist and The Professor delve into "The News Of The Week" - DFS Scandal, Greg Hardy/Katie Nolan, Managers Getting Fired, and all sorts of crazy business.

The beacons are lit, the experiments are on the board, and the test subjects are at the ready. The Mad Scientist's Sports Lab is officially open for business.
