  • Scratching Off the 0-2 Teams: Have the Chiefs Lost Their Moxie?

    In this episode, the guys dive straight into the fallout from NFL Week 2, starting with the surprising number of teams already sitting at 0-2. They quickly write off the seasons for teams like the Bears, Jets, and Titans, but spend a good chunk of time debating the Kansas City Chiefs' rough start. While some think the Chiefs look old, House argues they've simply lost their moxie and are missing key offensive weapons.

    The Giants also come under fire for their poor defense and coaching miscues, while the surprising 2-0 Colts get a nod for their hot start behind "Danny Dimes". The controversial "tush push" also sparks a debate, with Bison reversing his stance, saying it's just not interesting for the game.

    The conversation moves to college football, where the transfer portal isn't living up to the hype for high-profile QBs like Nico Iamaleava and Arch Manning. After Tennessee suffered a heartbreaking OT loss due to what the hosts call "coaching malpractice," the crew questions if Georgia is as dominant as in past years. Milk has resigned himself to misery, declaring coach Billy Napier has "destroyed" QB DJ Lagway and will be fired within weeks. They also call out the absurdity of 0-2 Notre Dame still being in the top 25 polls.

    "There is nothing worse than an amputated spirit." - Patrick Mickler

    Wrapping things up, the episode tackles the significant off-the-field controversy surrounding the LA Clippers, owner Steve Ballmer, and Kawhi Leonard. They break down the allegations of circumventing the NBA salary cap through a sham company - a story brought to light by podcaster Pablo Torre—and praise his investigative work.

    They also cover their weekly NFL and college football betting picks before concluding with "lassos", including Jared Goff paying off school lunch debt and Bills' coach Sean McDermott buying a house for a childhood friend who protected him from bullies.

    Enjoy!

  • Fire the Coach! It's Week 1! Victory Monday, Meltdowns, and Philly Karen

    The crew dives headfirst into NFL Week One, where they call out everyone from Ravens' coach John Harbaugh for conservative play-calling to Giants' owner John Mara for the team's abysmal start. Week one overreactions were in full swing, with Rooster delivering an all-time tirade against the Giants, demanding (again) for the coach be fired and Wilson benched for Jackson Dart. The guys broke down the Eagles-Cowboys game in detail, with House talking about Dak Prescott's lack of mobility, CeeDee Lamb's drops, and the pre-game "Spitgate" incident that saw Jalen Carter ejected. Other notable discussions included surprising performances from the Packers and Chargers, disappointment in the Lions and Dolphins, and an early look at Aaron Rodgers' successful return.

    Sadly for Milk, the conversation shifted to college football, where Milk unleashes his own epic rant about the Florida Gators after their embarrassing loss to in-state rival South Florida. He calls for coach Billy Napier to be fired, lamenting that the program is stuck with him due to an $18 million buyout and faces a brutal upcoming schedule.

    Following football talk, the crew makes their weekly "Plaxico" (NFL) and "Menteer Matters" (NCAAF) betting picks for the upcoming weekend's slate of games.

    The episode wraps up with punches and lassos featuring the viral story of "Philly Karen," a fan who took a home run ball from a child, and the subsequent lasso for player Harrison Bader, who made it right by giving the kid an autographed bat.

    We talk about a couple "Buzzer Beaters," touching on major injuries plaguing the Phillies, the fallout of the WNBA season following Caitlin Clark's injury, and a recap of the US Open.

    Finally, they poured one out for two sports legends who recently passed away: longtime MLB player and manager Davey Johnson and iconic NHL goalie Ken Dryden.
