"Pabón" means "no good" in French. It's also our last name, which tells you everything about how this show runs.

The No Good Sports Podcast is a father-son take on sports through the lens of culture, business, and politics. No box scores. No breaking news. No journalism in the traditional sense. Just two Pabóns arguing it out the same way we have for years at the dinner table, now with microphones.

Every week we open with a quick roundup: the stories that mattered, the ones that got buried, the ones everyone's pretending not to have an opinion on. We react fast, we move on fast. Then we go deep. One topic, one real debate, no guardrails and no obligation to agree by the end. Sometimes we bring in a guest, sometimes it's just us, because the show was never built to depend on anyone else being in the room.

Julio Pabón Sr. has spent decades inside the business of sports. Since the 1990s he's run Latino Sports Ventures, which includes LatinoSports.com, covering the athletes, stories, and issues mainstream sports media routinely overlooks. In 1989 he created the Latino MVP Award, now in its 36th consecutive year, first given to Rubén Sierra and since grown into the most prestigious honor a Latino ballplayer can receive, officially recognized by MLB and voted on today by the Latino Sports Writers and Broadcasters Association, which he also founded. He's spent his career as a consultant to MLB teams on how they market to, recruit, and represent Latino players and fans, which means the business and politics side of this show comes from someone who's actually been in those rooms.

Julio A. Pabón is a creative executive, writer, and producer with a career built across VICE, Spotify, Netflix, and ESPN. His credits include LOUD: The History of Reggaeton, Rapture, Afflicted for Netflix, and VICE on HBO, along with branded work for Sprite, L'Oréal, Sony Music, and MLB Productions. He brings the instincts of someone who's spent years shaping culture-forward storytelling, now turned toward the sport he grew up arguing about with his father.

Same last name. Same instincts for an argument. Completely different vantage points on the industry, which is exactly why this works.

Expect conversations about the politics of representation in sports marketing, the business deals reshaping ownership and power across leagues, the culture wars playing out on fields and in locker rooms, and the rivalries, beefs, and bad calls nobody else wants to talk about honestly. We're not here to be neutral. We're here to be right, loudly, and occasionally to admit we were wrong.

New episodes every Thursday. Clips, debates, and the moments we couldn't believe we said out loud live across our socials, so follow along if you want the arguments before the full episode drops.

No filter. No good. A Latino Sports TV production.

    EP_05 "Milwaukee South" Takes over Tampa: Aris's World Series Insider Take | No Good Sports Podcast
    2026/10/29

    On this episode of the No Good Sports Podcast, Julio and Julio are joined by longtime friend of the show Aris. He's a retired NYC corrections officer, author and Meet the Mats columnist, and he was at the World Series game in Tampa the night before.

    He gives a fan's-eye view of a Brewers-heavy crowd and explains why Tampa doesn't support the Rays. He also says Aaron Boone hasn't written a lineup since he's been with the Yankees. Aris says he got this from asking Boone at the baseball writers' dinner and from talking with Boone's son. These are Aris's claims, not confirmed facts.

    The hosts then cover the analytics debate, Francisco Lindor's Roberto Clemente Award, the Knicks' first win, the Ballon d'Or, and Canelo's reported $47M Saudi payday.

    EP. 04 - Small Markets, Big Upsets
    2026/10/22

    EPISODE DESCRIPTION

    The Brewers just did the unthinkable—and now the whole baseball world has to catch up. After sweeping the Dodgers, Julio and Julio break down why Milwaukee looks like a team of destiny, why Tampa Bay keeps winning with a fraction of the payroll, and why the old rules about stars, spending, and “big market” power might be dead.They dig into the most shocking playoff swing of the year, from Milwaukee’s ruthless counterpunches to the Rays’ ability to turn overlooked arms like Freddie Peralta into postseason weapons again. Along the way, they tackle the deeper question hanging over October: is this about great coaching, elite scouting, or teams that simply know how to win without the spotlight?You’ll also hear the guys go after the Dodgers’ collapse, debate Kevin Cash’s mix of analytics and instinct, and ask whether MLB is finally getting exposed for how badly it markets its own stars. Then the conversation shifts to the Knicks’ banner night, where Hector Beauchamp joins in to unpack the emotion, the failures, and the pressure that followed a historic celebration at MSG.Hector brings the modern basketball angle too, from Karl-Anthony Towns’ foul trouble to OG Anunoby’s next-step season, Jalen Brunson’s workload, and whether the NBA’s next great rivalry is already forming between Victor Wembanyama, Chet Holmgren, and the Spurs–Thunder. He also weighs in on dark horse contenders, the Yankees’ Aaron Boone situation, and the bigger question of who is actually built to win in this new sports era.If you want sharp sports debate, real fandom, and a few fearless predictions that will have you arguing back in the comments, this one delivers. Perfect for anyone who loves baseball, Knicks basketball, and the kind of heated, personality-filled conversation that makes sports talk worth listening to.

    Hector Beauchamp is Latino Sports’ director of social media and the voice behind multiple New York basketball and baseball shows, including Uptown Sports TV, Yankees Morning Brew, and a new Knicks drive-home show. He brings deep Knicks insight, digital media expertise, and a sharp eye for the changing NBA landscape.

    Ep. 03- The NFL's Unsealed Racism Memo on Brian Flores Exposes How Hiring Really Works
    2026/10/15

    No Good Sports Podcast: NFL Racism, Latino Baseball History, and MLB’s Marketing Problem

    Julio A. and "Julio Pabón Santiago Rivera" as we now know, open with the Brian Flores lawsuit and use it as a springboard into a wider conversation about racism in sports leadership, especially in the NFL and Major League Baseball. They also dig into Latino history in football, the cost of youth baseball, and why MLB struggles to market stars like Shohei Ohtani to a broader audience.

    The discussion connects individual cases to broader patterns, compares how major leagues handle race, branding, and opportunity, and turns to a lively playoff conversation about the Dodgers, Brewers, Rays, and Guardians.

    Key topics

    The Brian Flores case and the unsealed Korn Ferry hiring memo

    The “polished” and “articulate” stereotypes applied to Black and Latino professionals

    Latino history in pro football, including Lou Molinet, Steve Van Buren, Tom Flores, and Jim Plunkett

    Barriers to coaching and executive opportunities in the NFL

    The rising cost of youth baseball, including travel teams and year-round training

    MLB’s Latino outreach and the accessibility of the sport

    Shohei Ohtani as a global star and a missed marketing opportunity for MLB

    The Dodgers’ playoff performance and the Brewers’ energy and execution

    The Rays and Guardians, payroll disparities, and the value of small-ball tactics
