From the Bleachers

He will always be Producer Cody and AJ needs to know how he washed the guilt off after downloading BYU TV because AJ feels gross for applauding a Dallas Cowboy. Micah Parsons should be the NFL MVP for how he has transformed his team. Ajay won't stand for Tom Brady not winning the award. Alabama's Bryce Young dominated the Heisman race but said he was always overlooked, despite being a 5* recruit, number one QB and backing up a record setting quarterback last year. What the heck is he talking about?! It's the bowl game special as the guys pick their favorites and make every bowl game pick. If it's a 6-6 versus 6-6 game you can bet Ajay will be locked in on it. COVID, Chase Claypool and Purdue Basketball end up as the official Hall of Shame picks.

The College Football Playoff Committee can't figure out expansion so AJ, Ajay and Cody are going to solve it. All three agree the number should be 12, but how do you pick the 12 participants? Should there be automatic entrance for conference champions? Do any Group of 5 teams get auto bids? The four teams have been set for the College Football Playoffs, but it was set up for the committee not to screw it up. AJ makes the case that Georgia shouldn't be in. AJ is riding high because Purdue Basketball is #1 for the first time ever, but being a Boilermaker fan means bad luck is always lurking around the corner. He asks Cody and Ajay about their fandom heartbreaks, hoping the shared bad mojo will protect his team. Ajay takes us behind the scenes of the Mountain West Championship, their bowl and recruiting while also talking about his ring he's going to get. If you're in the Dr. Pepper Scholarship toss, do you do the chest pass? Ajay will take the loss, but absolutely will thrill the crowd. Ajay had a real problem finding his Hall of Shame, while Cody and AJ couldn't wait. Not to mention Kirk Herbstreit doubled down, making AJ's nominee even more right.

Cody gets to judge who made the biggest bugaboo between AJ and Ajay. The coaching carousel is the biggest stories in college football. Will Lincoln Riley or Brian Kelly find success? Who takes the Oklahoma job? In the NFL it's a tale of two different conferences; the AFC is allergic to the one seed and EVERYONE is in the hunt in the NFC? Is this Russell Wilson's last season in Seattle? Who is the best team in college basketball? Who are the title contenders? Baseball continues to hurt itself as they head to a lockout. Does Cody love this? Jeff Goodman and the Mountain West get shared Hall of Shame votes from Cody and Ajay. AJ puts LeBron in the Hall of Shame because he has locked himself to a sinking ship. Finally, all three pick the conference championship games.

Aaron Rodgers returns after another PR disaster he found himself in. Cody, the Packers fan, answers whose drama was worse to deal with, Rodgers or Brett Favre? Ajay and Cody had a bet with the loser having to say nothing but nice things for the winner and it gets kind of cringe. As we get ready for the third College Football Playoffs and AJ is moving off the Cincinnati bandwagon, though does it really matter? The committees rankings continue to be a joke, look no further than Michigan and Michigan State's rankings. Gonzaga got a monster non-conference win against Texas to really kick off college basketball, but do we buy them and Mark Few finally breaking through? Are one-and-dones or the experienced team the key to winning the March tournament? AJ needs help from Ajay and Cody on how to deal with a team looking solid after repeatedly breaking your heart. Apparently that was just the start Ajay needed to bag on the Jazz. Texas football, NFL officiating and NFL officiating all get hammered in the Hall of Shame.

Ajay's Braves won the World Series so is he done being a jinx? Can Cody explain what the heck is happening with Aaron Rodgers? Speaking of head scratchers, Ben Simmons continues his shenanigans that seem to make it look like he's lying. Who are the NBA's best surprises thus far? Oh boy do the Boston Celtics look like they're in trouble. AJ thinks it's time for a Kansas City Chiefs eulogy. Who is the best team in the AFC? The first College Football Playoff rankings are out and Ajay and Cody sound off. Can we get a consistent ranking process? Ajay doesn't believe in ghosts, no matter what AJ says, but little does he know that Cody has quite the paranormal experience. A broadcaster, an NFL franchise and an entire college football program make the Hall of Shame. 

Did the fan get enough for Tom Brady's 600th TD ball? Would any of AJ, Ajay or Cody hold on to history to negotiate a higher price? COVID isn't going away in sports and now a coach has been fired and a hockey player has been caught with a fake vaccine card, what the heck do you do about it? The coaching carousel was interesting and then Penn State was terrible against Illinois, AND THEN James Franklin had quite the weird conversation. We are all Cincinnati Bearcat fans. Which NBA teams do we cheer against, and is it time for a Lakers eulogy? Ajay's Braves made the World Series, can they be jinxed? Is Ben Simmons making an excuse with mental health? It's very rare an opposing team gets in the Hall of Shame for helping the other win, but at that happened while two people personally hurt Cody and AJ for their nominees.

AJ has a treat for Cody's birthday, and everyone really, because Ajay shares the story of meeting Thurl Bailey. Make sure you always know where your hands are. Ajay won't let go that Cody is the Utah State football jinx, but Cody has overwhelming evidence that it's actually Ajay and AJ. However, the evidence really shows Ajay just passes the jinx curse on to everyone near him. Why won't Cody love baseball? AJ and Ajay try their hardest while recapping some MLB playoffs. ESPN released their preseason NBA power rankings and the fellas have some serious issues with it, and oh boy are they coming for Ben Simmons. Jon Gruden is an absolute idiot, but the timing and cancel culture conversation are interesting. More importantly, the NFL continues to botch slam dunks. Why does Dan Snyder still own a team?! Sorry Tampa Bay Rays, it's time for you to move and somehow being the perennial best team in college football isn't enough for the broadcast team in the Hall of Shame. Would you get the height surgery for an extra six or seven inches?

The first thing we need to address, is how is Ajay? His Patriots hosted Tom Brady in a great game, and what did we think was said in the post game locker room meeting? What the hell was that last field goal decision? Cody has attended the last two Utah State football games and the Aggies have lost, is he a jinx? Cody's dad seems to agree it's a possibility after texting AJ. How about some serious snoozers for the big time SEC match ups this weekend? Cincinnati got the big win at Notre Dame, so what are their chances to make the playoffs? Is college football boring and which conference is the best? The NFL week can only be described as 'LOL' after both New York teams won. Why hasn't Pittsburgh done anything about Big Ben's replacement? Are the Arizona Cardinals for real? Cody is out on baseball, but Ajay loves the match ups. However, he doesn't like his Braves' chances. What the heck happened to the San Diego Padres? Isn't this setting up for another San Francisco World Series run? It's the first ever unanimous Hall of Shame because WHAT THE HECK WAS URBAN MEYER DOING? Is 'Florida Man' Urban Meyer trying to get fired to get to USC?

Can anyone beat Alabama? Who even are the four favorites to make the college football playoffs? AJ, Ajay and Cody think Clemson's title run is done while they weigh if the ACC or PAC12 are the worst power five conference. USC is a premiere job, but will they screw up another hire? Expansion isn't done, but what does it ultimately look like when the dust settles? Can even a Packers' fan tolerate the angsty Aaron Rodgers? It makes Cody sick, meanwhile Ajay has to deal with Brady heading to New England next week. Kansas City lost again, so will we get the suspected Super Bowl match up everyone expected? A 20-0 Tampa leads the bold predictions for the NFL. An NFL player, entire college football program and the success of a coach LEAVING your team make the Hall of Shame. Story time brings shared frustration from AJ, Ajay and Cody.

Cody won't let AJ and Ajay hold a funeral for the Big12 after they gave one to the Clippers who came back against the Jazz. Is there any chance the conference survives with Oklahoma and Texas leaving? Is the SEC done after adding two powerhouses? Is this more than about dominating NCAA football? Could the PAC12 be in trouble in this next wave of expansion? BYU and Boise State are discussed as well. The game this week is 'Find Me a Home' as we figure out where the rest of the Big12 will go with the death of the conference. Simone Biles pulled out of Team Gymnastics and then the all-around competition. Biles has received criticism, but most of the world has supported her. It is the conversation when it comes to athletes and mental health. Can you separate the athlete from the person? Ajay and Cody raise interesting hypocritical points when it comes to athletes talking about their mental health. Former USU quarterback and mental health coach from the Full Court Press provides expert opinion on this as well. Aaron Rodgers told all, though maybe continued his PR battle, in his press conference. And oh boy do Ajay and Cody get heated talking about Rodgers and Tom Brady. What do we expect to happen in the NBA Draft? How much pressure is on the G League prospects to be successful after skipping college? Team USA, another coach and fans all find themselves in the Hall of Shame.
