Not For Nothin'

The boys break down all the Kobe tributes, while also doing their own version of that. They so elegantly transition from that sadness into football taking about how they don't like this new era of the "bro tight ends" in the NFL. It's all Gronks fault, by the way. They make a lot of prop bets for the Super Bowl and then somehow come to a conclusion of picking a winner for the game. Which is the least interesting thing about this game. Their big advice? Bet on the coin flip, give in to the luck factor, then just enjoy the rest of the game. That way you won't have to worry about how much money you're going to lose during the rest of the game. It's pretty smart.

Ep. 170 Not For Nothin' Special Emergency Tribute Eli Manning Goes Away Podcast by Kris & Chris

It's a good thing there are only two NFL games left. For one, these two are terrible at gambling. But they also have a lot to talk about, so to be able to fit everything into an hour show, is still impossible. Apparently, Kris is still riding the LSU party train in NOLA (he might still be inebriated), cause all he wants to talk about is college football. He also has a hot take about Mike Leach. Be careful what you wish for Mississippi State. Chris is able to move the convo along to positive news for the WNBA and then the stupidity of Major League cheating scandals. Time for the picks. Keep betting the exact opposite and make that money.

After a three week hiatus, the boys are back to conquer the NFL Divisional Round. They took the time off to travel for the holidays, spend time with love ones and to really examine how to be better gamblers. Because, once again they finished the regular season within a few games of where they always do. At least they're consistent? Chris did finally take their own advice for the Wild Card round and bet against themselves, pulling off a three-game parlay winner. Maybe that is the New Years resolution they can stick too?

This episode should have been up Friday night, but due too many wings, beers & White Claws, oh and technical difficulties (that's what these guys are calling it)- wasn't able to post it till now. The audio is crap & the picks are crap, but at least one good thing came out of this episode, a new nickname for Eli Manning as he finishes his career back at .500. So, if nothing else they'll never be able to call old "Mitten" Manning a loser. You know, they may have also stumbled onto a brilliant new name for an alcoholic beverage called, 4Deep. Unfortunately, that's their best idea so far.

Oh, almost forgot. Chris also needs to get his due (it's in his rider) - He picks the Falcons to win. Okay happy now guy?

Chris shares his thanksgiving story of spending time with his father. Way to rub it in Kris's face, man. speaking of great men and missing fathers, Rutgers football rehires their version of that - welcome back Greg Schiano. From there, it's a lot of hating on the Mavs, the Rockets and Melo winning some stupid award that doesn't mean anything and no one who actually knows anything about the sport cares about (salty). Finally they get to the good stuff week 14 picks and the return of everyone's favorite dad-bod QB, 3li Manning!

We have a lot to be thankful for this week don't we? Oh let us count the ways: The family thing is a given I guess, but making sexual innuendos about your friends mom, while also discussing a certain head football coaches sexual predilections... Celebrating the Thor the bulldogs win at the dog show... Plus, Chris looking for work with a future sudo-defunct arena football team... A big thanks to the Winnepeg Blue Bombers for winning the Grey Cup in like probably forever... We're thankful for the intern, even if you are missing. Besides we want to start a curling team with you... Then we have to give thanks for Melo... Of course it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without giving the biggest thanks of all, to week 13 of the NFL season and really bad gambling.

Since the show as a new intro(funky-fresh, dope beat right?), they boys have a bit of a requiem for their old (illegal) show tracks. Which of course leads to the greatest TV show idea since Steven Bochco's Cop Rock....with a little Aly McBeal sprinkled in. That's all I can say legally. They dive even deeper before acknowledging Carmelo Anthony's existence back in the Association. Feels like one of those alternate timelines in a comic book, doesn't it?

For the coup-de-gras, they finish you off with their week 12 picks.

It's a sad week in the NFL as we have to say goodbye to Gardner (Fu) Minshew - he lost his starting spot to "The Closer" Nick Foles. We say goodbye to Myles Garett for a long while, while also saying goodbye to Mason Rudolphs head. The one silver-lining to all this is we get to say hello to Melo once again (although the boys don't actually acknowledge his return. So typical, but then do we really care?). Other than that it might be time for the guys to say goodbye to their winning record picking games for the season.

James Harden, strips clubs & Lebron's hairline. This show has got it all. Plus celebrity boxing match break-down. All that and they give you their week 10 NFL picks for free. That's right it's free. Who else is doing that? No one is dumb enough to do that.
