The Jerks look back on Week ONE of the NFL Preseason, discuss Ric Flair’s legacy as ONE of pro wrestling’s all-time greats, and recap Ric’s adventure to ONE of the country’s big Anime conventions. Plus, a rundown of what we’re readin’ and watchin’, and we make ONE too many Star Trek references. Those Two Jerks — there may be two (sometimes three) of us, but THERE… ARE… FOUR… LIGHTS!

Our latest mini-sode covers the fun and sometimes headache-inducing world of fan and comic book conventions, and we brought in an expert on the topic: Founder and COO of Awesome Con, Ben Penrod! We're discussing everything from the changing state of comic sales at conventions to security, crowd issues and keeping Doctor Who actors safe in the bathroom! Plus, Conor McGregor's camp breaks an unwritten rule and costs him a sparring partner, and Tim Tebow (nearly) ended up back in the NFL. T2J: When someone says you're "The Taco," it's generally not a good thing!

We're taking a look at the start of NFL training camps, Derrick Rose setting up shop in Cleveland, and Hugh Freeze setting up shop in Sports Hell. Plus, all the news we missed from Comic-Con, a possible Oscar (!) campaign for Wonder Woman, and Batman goes hunting for "wabbits." Be vewwy vewwy kwiet -- we're hunting for laughs!

It's our annual Comic-Con Special! We're breaking down some of the biggest stories of this year's Comic-Con International: San Diego, from the first footage of Spielberg's Ready Player One to the new Spawn movie (for real, they swear), plus all the big announcements from Marvel and DC about their upcoming films. As a bonus, find out which of the Jerks doesn't know much about microphones! T2J and SDCC: they go together like PB and J!

The Jerks break down whether Tim Tebow will get called up to the majors this year, juiced baseballs in MLB, and Mayweather and McGregor’s tour de insults. Plus, all the geeky news from D23 Expo (Tron ride! Star Wars hotel! Marvel land!), the latest on “The Batman,” and a remembrance of George A. Romero and Martin Landau. Comedy, tragedy, gallows humor, poop jokes — we have it all!

In this latest mini-sode, the Jerks get a firsthand report on Tim Tebow’s minor league baseball exploits and Chris gets convinced to play fantasy football. Plus, a review of Spider-Man: Homecoming, and a discussion of the changing state of San Diego Comic-Con and other comic conventions. It’s deep, it’s contentious, it’s funny — it’s a cornucopia of entertainment!

The Jerks break down the major moves in the NBA, the end of the #NewYorkSuperteam, the backlash from last week’s Tebow blast, and Manny Pacquiao’s shocking loss.
