Another Bad Call

In this week's episode (S3E5), The Brothers West & Finn cover bad takes and questionable calls through the sports world. No league was safe.

In their warm-up, “Bad Calls of the Week,” Justin & Finn get into a passionate debate over whether or not USA Basketball made the right decision leaving Caitlin Clark off the US Women’s Basketball Team for the ‘24 Olympics. Justin argues against, citing Clark’s unparalleled & unprecedented marketing upside. Finn argues for, citing her WNBA’s team record and shooting woes early on. 

Then in, “Tales of a Degenerate,” Justin cites his betting woes in the Preakness, U.S. Open, and MLB. J.D. and Finn don’t let him go without a little ribbing.

Justin & Finn also explain their wager: Whether or not Coleman Hawkins will score a seven-figure NIL deal with a new school so late in the NCAA Men’s Basketball offseason.

Leading us up to the Main Event: While there wasn’t much news out of 2024 June OTA, the Brothers West & Finn cover a variety of NFL stories, including the retirement of NY Giants TE Darren Waller. 

They also explore the curious case regarding the inactivity of Bears’ projected starting RG Nate Davis. According to conflicting reports, Davis spent most of mini camp either on the sidelines or on a bike. While normally, such a thing wouldn’t trigger a mention, reports out of Davis’ departure from the Titans in 2023 coupled with his injury-plagued campaign with Bears in ‘23 leaves room for speculation. Finn further expounded on the story with a blog post.

The 2024 NFL schedule is finally released. The boys find cause for celebration and debate.

This episode begins with their Bad Calls of the Week. Finn figured someone was drunk in the schedulers office, giving the Jets 7 island games. Justin lambasted the PR department for all the leaks leading up to the episode. JD 

In the main event, the boys gave their predictions, week by week, on how they feel the Bears will do in the 2024 season. They considered the fact the Bears were given the third weakest schedule to start the season, and have incredible offensive additions. They break down each opponent, and pay special attention to signature games, including island games and division games - especially against that team in Wisconsin.

JD kept a realest view, while despite their better intentions, Justin & Finn went “meathead” via two very different paths. Finn already has a couple takebacks he’d like to have.

Then for bonus content, the boys discuss how the schedule may or may not benefit the development of QB Caleb Williams .

They also discuss where on the schedule they would like to see the Packers, year after year, on the schedule.

We started off the show with our Bad Calls of the Week. Finn ripped the Lakers’ broad-spectrum excuses following their inevitable first round series thrashing at the hands of the Nuggets. Justin tells Tom Brady that during a roast, all bets are off – including octogenarian team owners. And in a lighter moment, J.D. Laments how his vampire skin doesn’t work well with a sunny day on the golf course. 

In Tales of a Degenerate, Justin regales on a success of picking 18:1 Kentucky Derby underdog Mystik Dan, and how it covered his other bets. 

All leading to our Main Event. The boys went all out, graphic icons and everything, and rating the Bears, Lions, Vikings, and Packers at the following positions: TE, WR, OL, RB, and QB.

(Okay. J.D. and Justin went all out. Finn was busy fussing with sick toddlers but was with-it enough to pick QBs.)

In several categories, the boys were fair enough to shine a kind light on the Lions and proper shade at the Packers. As expected, when the conversation came around to Quarterback and Wide Receiver, things got spicy: Do the Bears have the best wide receiving core in the NFC north? Where does Caleb Williams rank before his first rookie camp snap? How significant were the Bears first two 2024 NFL Draft selections?

Tune in to find out.

In this edition, the boys review their first ten picks in the NFL draft to see who was the most accurate. They also go through each of the Bears 2024 NFL Draft picks to give their grades.

A fun-filled episode includes their “Bad Calls of the Week”: 

In the “Tales of a Degenerate,” section (for education only, if you have a concern regarding betting or wagering, call 1-800-GAMBLER or text 800GAM for more information), Justin, like any White Sox fan, learns not to depend on them (then we’ll probably forget the lesson).

In the “Bleeding Hearts of Bleeding Fans” section:

JD is on the injury list and unable to give it a go so it's another solo episode from Justin. He reviews a positive week 16 and throws out a couple of plays at each position for a full 15 game main slate. Oh yeah, shockingly he drinks more beer. Closes out 2019 with another @hopbutcher gem: Double Blazed Orange!!!!
