In Episode 29, Rich and Nate cover everything from red, white, and BOOM to minor league mayhem.

The guys break down Team USA hockey taking down Canada and immediately plan the parade route (again). Is it 1980 all over? No. Are we acting like it is? Absolutely. They dive into Olympic coverage, why we suddenly care about sports we ignore for four years, and which events deserve more love (and better TV time slots).

On the ice, it’s USA vs. Canada, grit vs. grit, and “did you see that hit?” energy. Meanwhile, in the MLB streets, the Cleveland Guardians are making moves—or at least strongly considering thinking about making moves. Rich and Nate sort through signings, trade rumors, and the annual “this could be our year” optimism.

College wrestling gets its spotlight too, because unlike some franchises we know, those guys actually finish strong. Plus: jersey talk (because looking good is half the battle), ECHL chatter, and the usual NFL/NBA drive-bys you’ve come to expect.

It’s Olympics hype, hockey heart, baseball hope, and wrestling grit—served the only way we know how: slightly biased and fully flippant.

This week on Flagrant Foul Rich and Nate navigate the emotional obstacle course known as the Cleveland Browns offseason, roster exits, coaching shakeups, and the yearly tradition of talking ourselves into hope. Yes, even David Njoku is part of the chaos.

Plus, we officially pledge allegiance to our new squad, the Savannah Ghost Pirates, and begin tracking the most important storyline in sports: the Kelly Cup quest.

Browns therapy, Olympic takes, minor league hockey loyalty, and just enough delusion to keep it fun.
