John Moe and Mike Fotis discuss Adrian Peterson’s camel-riding party entrance, play Steve Miller Band or NCAA Men’s Basketball Coach, and praise John Urschel’s math wizardry.  Then John and Sean Doolittle talk rehab and needless apostrophes.

John Moe and Mike Fotis discuss recreational softball season, and why chicken wings get in the way of Mike’s teams getting better.  They move on to discuss 24-year-old 49er Chris Borland’s decision to retire from the NFL, and explain their (lack of) logic in choosing teams for their March Madness bracket.

Then Joe Mande tells John who would play Kevin Love, Kevin Garnett, and Ricky Rubio on TV, and the genre of show in which they’d star.  He also mentions this, which you should probably watch this minute.

John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats explains why songwriters are like boxers, and why his new album, Beat the Champ, is all about professional wrestling.  Plus, John Moe asks Mike Fotis how many actual dolphins would have to be on the field before one of them intercepted Jay Cutler, and the two wonder why Chip Kelly hates everyone on the Eagles.

John Moe chats with NBA veteran Jerry Stackhouse and checks in with Mike Fotis on LeBron James, James Harden, kicks to the swimsuit area, and the Dragic brothers (Zoran and Goran), the OTHER Dragic brothers (basketball prodigy Scorin, sleepy one Snorin…) and the hockey trade deadline.

Phil Jackson’s cryptic tweets caused John Moe to reach out to advice columnist Dan Savage about maintaining healthy relationships – in marriage, at work, and most importantly, on the New York Knicks.  Also, John and Mike Fotis ponder what, exactly, is motivating Kevin Garnett’s desire to own the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Mike Fotis responds to John’s dramatic reading of Alex Rodriguez’s cursive-heavy apology, and the two proceed to ponder Peyton Manning and aging in the NFL (clip of Manning not interacting with Brock Osweiler here).  Then Ian Levy likens Swaggy P to Ken Kesey, both subversives of their own time.  Plus, the MVPs of the Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Show and a live update from the New Hampshire high school ski jumping championships.

Jason Zengerle talks about the legacy of Dean Smith, plus the New York Knicks are for sale!  Sorta.

Mike Fotis helps John recover from the Seahawks’ Super Bowl loss.  Then, John talks to writer Stephen Rodrick about Serena Williams, and why her athletic prowess isn’t celebrated like Tom Brady or Lebron James (Some hints: Sexism!  Racism!  Tennis being less popular than basketball and football in the U.S.!  BUT STILL – HAVE YOU SEEN HER PLAY?!?).  Plus, a very special visit from Cleveland Cavalier “Kevin Love.”

New York Times ethicist Chuck Klosterman weighs in on “kind of” cheating and the Patriots, and re-imagines the Super Bowl as a battle of the bands.  Also, John examines the dangers of fandom, and if it is better to have loved a team as they lose the Super Bowl, than to have never loved said team at all?  Plus, the NBA’s Tournament of Names continues.

John explores the saying, “This too shall pass,” and wonders if it helps sports fans, like himself, ignore cheating (*COUGH* newenglandpatriots *COUGH*), the systematic maiming of players, and the bending of rules (like the Jordan Rules, which maybe have another name now?).  Mark Hendrickson tells us what it’s like to be a 6’9” left-handed baseball player, and Whitman College professor Dana Burgess likens Tiger Woods to Heracles (Hercules, for everyone that is not a classics professor) for having a big appetite.
