In today's episode, Dave is playing injured, and he is blaming all of his trouble speaking on that. We discuss Russell Westbrook's trade request, Dave tells a story of how is becomming a beloved figure among the coaching ranks. Steelers lead by example in their new GM hire. and Rooney Rule gets a facelift. Dave proposes a hypothetical today, you can eliminate a crime from ever happening again, but you must first commit that crime to eliminate it, what's the worst crime you would commit to accomplish this? Finally we finish the episode with our grievances and gratitudes.

In this episode, we begin by revisiting the Hue Jackson claims of being paid to lose on purpose, which we always knew were bullshit, but now an investigation has proven our opinion to be correct. The Titans are considering extending Derrick Henry, make it make sense. Why does John hate Jake Paul so much? The Arizona Coyotes are the laughing stock of the sports world, and it just keeps getting worse, when will Gary Bettman cut his loses? Antonio Brown to the Steelers? Not on my watch! Kyle Lowry doing Kyle Lowry things and steals Game 3 from the Celtics. Should anyone care if a pitcher goes for a complete game anymore? When will baseball fans move past these old useless stats that don't actually contribute to teams winning or losing? Go to twitter to comment on which way you would go on our Would You Rather?

In this episode, we start by laughing at how Drake handled a situation with a Twitter troll, and how we wish more celebrities reacted this way. We move on to discuss Tom Brady's new TV deal, to start whenever he retires, and how no matter how you feel about him, there is no chance that he adds value compared to what he will be getting paid. Dave is still waiting for his apology, after expressing genuine concern about coaching decisions made by the Maple Leafs coaching staff, he was met with "Well, what do you know about it?", so he heel turned and became Tampa Bay's #1 fan for game 7, and in the end, what Dave said might have had some validity. Also, why has Toronto's playoff issues lasted so long? There are no players remaining from when these issues began, why does there seem to be such a strong mental block still? Aaron from Brutally Honest Sports joins us to defend Joel Embiid, and discuss where the Sixers are headed from here. As always, our Monday episode ends with some entertaining grievances, and some heart warming gratitude's.

Sorry everyone for the delay. With baseball starting, working odd hours lately, some things didn't get done. Like releasing this episode, so here it is now, we're getting back on track. In this episode we revisit Mother's Day, and what we do for our wives. Have you ever been negatively affect by spoilers? Do you scroll through social media, watch something and then accidentally ruin a show or movie for yourself? How do you avoid spoilers? Have you ever been the spoiling offender? How long after a movie release are you no longer responsible for what other people have or haven't seen? Now that sports betting is becoming legal in more and more places across North America, sports betting has become an overwhelming topic during sports coverage. We discuss the disappearing act of John Tavares. We also discuss "The Code" and the stupidity it inspires throughout sports.

Today's Promo is for Lords of Swine Podcast (@lordsofswine on Twitter)

We start today talking about the recently released Game of Thrones prequel trailer, and our level of excitement for the upcomming series, and how our level of disappointment in the ending of the first series is impacting that. Our current favourite villain, Joel Embiid, is back in the news again, complaining, again, about the way the Toronto fans treated him while he was here. Basically the dude wants everyone to cheer for him while he makes borderline dirty plays and mocks the fans. Av's goalie, Darcy Keumper gets a stick in the eye, why are the openings in any goalies mask big enough for a stick or puck to make it through? I made John watch hockey, so he came away with an astute hockey take, and that is the Dallas Stars have the ugliest jerseys in sports, John was very upset, he lays into them pretty good. Manchester City takes a stranglehold on the premiere league, when's the last time you saw a team go from consistently bad, to consistently among the best in a league where the good are so far separated from the bad. Urban Meyer is a clown, and it looks like he's not going to get paid the rest of his money because he is such a clown.

In today's episode we discuss the NFL draft, how our teams did, and how unique of a first round it was. We also discuss the Deandre Hopkins suspension. We also talk about the NBA playoffs, will Memphis/Golden State be the most entertaining series of the playoffs? Giannis is super human and just imposing his will during these playoffs. The Blue Jays are 15-8 and batting for first in the division, but have they underperformed to this point of the season? After crushing the half marathon, and crossing out another life goal, John discusses what's left to accomplish on his bucket list, and is curious what Dave's list consists of.  Also, we discuss guilty pleasures in the form of songs or TV shows me might be slightly embarrassed to admit we consume, but secretly love.

Would you rather have to drink all your food? Or eat all your drinks? Come let us know how you would answer this would you rather on our social media.

Our boy John completed a half marathon in less then 2 hours, and we are all proud of him. We discuss race day, and a certain part of it comes back up during our grievances. We go over the Raptors loss in 6 games to the 76ers, and we quickly look back at the season they had, and some ways we could possibly see them improving for next season. If you're going to be an asshole on a plane, I suggest you don't be on asshole on a plane towards Mike Tyson, because that man's still got it. Trevor Bauer is suspended 324 games by MLB. The Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial is hilarious, and amazing, and we are loving every second of it. We finish off with our grievances, and stick around to the end to hear a fun fact about the shoes Magic Johnson wore in his playing days.

Big Diesel? More like Big Baby lately, we discuss Shaq's very sensitive reaction to jokes made about him on Inside the NBA, and how his reaction to the shit talk has changed recently. The Raptors fall 3-0, win a game to go 3-1, where do they go from here? Will they get healthy and go on a run? Will Embiid's injury limit his effectiveness enough to create an opening for a comeback? Scotty Barnes win ROY, Marcus Smart is the first guard to win DPOY since the Gary "The Glove" Payton in the 95-96 season. We were robbed, investigation pending on our match-up against Through the Fog and the mysterious circumstances that surround our loss. Grievances! No gratitudes this week.

This episode we discuss the contentious relationship between Kyrie Irving and the city of Boston, and why it's so much fun to watch. we discuss who we think the biggest crybabies in sports are, and who we remember as guys who were able to stick it to their opponents who they had beef with. Auston Matthews is about to be the first player in 10+ years to score 60+ goals, does anyone care outside of Toronto? Have we ever been in a fight? How did it go? Do we think we would be successful fighters if we went back in time and received the proper training? Would you rather have 4 arms and hands, or 4 legs and feet?
