By their standards, the United States Women's National Soccer Team was shocked with an early exit from the World Cup.  Jonah and RPF discuss the "fairness" of such heavy expectations... but hey, when you're the best, you're the best!

RPF is fully enraptured with Messi mania in Miami, and I can't say I blame him.

From futbol to football, the boys transition to the NFL as they start to get excited about the impending season... well, at least RPF is excited.  Jonah is still pretty iffy on the status of his Patriots, especially in the now AFC East gauntlet.

And, of course, RPF checks in on Alcaraz Island, where he's taking the whole tennis world prisoner!

In this episode, the boys talk NFL preseason and start the conversation about what they're looking forward to this year.

The US Women's Soccer Team is on to the round of 16 in the World Cup, but are they in trouble?

Messi debuts in Miami and it is nothing short of miraculous.

Carlos Alcaraz takes down RPF's bond villain, Djokavic. Could this be THE passing of the torch?

With LeBron and the Los Angelos Lakers laying an egg against the Nuggets, the boys discuss the likelihood that either the Celtics or the Heat should have a decent path to the NBA Championship... it just depends on which one will get there!

The NHL Conference Finals have been a bit of a snooze-fest, but at least it looks like we're headed for a battle of party cities in the Stanley Cup.  

If the Panthers and Heat can both pull out wins... thoughts on a massive drag parade?

And the PGA Championship winner is... Michael Block?

and, of course, more....

With LeBron James playing well above his age, are the Los Angeles Lakers the team to beat in the NBA Finals?   What will it take for Steph Curry and the Warriors to stop them?

Over in the NHL, are the Panthers finally cashing in on paydirt?  Can they pull off yet another upset and secure their Eastern Conference Finals spot?  

And what about the west... everyone is so evenly matched, is it in the stars for the Kraken to take down Dallas, and can Connor McDavid return the Oilers to the Gretzky era?

Also, what the hell did Jordan Love just say about his time with Aaron Rogers... and, honestly, did you think you were going to hear something different?

All that, and more, on this week's Sports of Course with Jonah and RPF

The NHL playoffs have produced some firework finishes, with all-time historical upsets and that was only the first round. The boys talk about what the early exits of the heavily favored Boston Bruins, reigning Stanely Cup Champion Colorado Avalanche, and their repeat predecessor Tampa Lightning mean for the rest of the teams still in it.

They also cover Lebron James and his dominant and dare we say inspiring, round 1 performance. Could the elder statesmen of the NBA possibly lead the Lakers to a title? And what about a hobbled Jimmy Butler and the Heat?

Not to be overlooked, Major League Baseball has some historically poor performing teams running the tops of division charts and so much more.... and yes, of course, Aaron Rogers.

The news finally came through... Aaron Rogers is officially a New York Jet... and Jonah quickly went from a hopeful Patriots fan to a spiteful Jets hater (though the 2 do often go hand in hand).

The boys also discuss the final closure of the Lamar Jackson saga in Baltimore, but are still left with the question... why the hell didn't they just lock this up way back when??

Also in this episode, the Lions are setting themselves up nicely for the worst NFL draft class ever, Jonah shares what it's like to be traded for a box of baseballs, and RPF flexes his NFL scouting cred!

As The Masters teed off yesterday, it marked the 1st one that included both PGA and LIV golf members. The fellas talk about what they're hoping to see... will a LIV Golf member come out on top?... and what would that do to the world of golf?

They also dive back into the Aaron Rogers saga, but as Jonah so eloquently expresses, does anyone really care what would happen to the Jets if they can't land Rogers?

The boys also share their new love for the MLB pitch clock, and RPF takes the show into a little NBA playoff talk and, of course, what's happening in tennis.

Today the boys talk about how impressed they were by Patrick Mahomes' ability to grit it out through injury and where this cements him and his legacy compared to his contemporaries and history.  

But, was he the best QB on the field that day? Or did Jalen Hurts have something to say about that?

They also get into Rihanna and her halftime show reveal and how her show stacks up to the previous years.

Lastly, Jonah and RPF break down and rank the ads from the Super Bowl, covering Ben Affleck & J-Lo's Dunkin commercial, and weigh in the all the heavyweights like Ben Stiller, Wil Farrell, and all the others.

Well, the big game is finally here! In this week's show, Jonah and RPF give their thoughts on keys to victory for both the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.

- Is Travis Kelce enough, or does Patrick Mahomes need some other receivers to step up? - Can A.J. Brown seize the moment and show the world that he is, in fact, a top WR in the NFL?

- Position by position, which team has the better lineup?

- Would a Chiefs loss damage the legacy of Andy Reid?

 

Also, the boys breakdown RPF's list of the Top 10 Super Bowl Halftime Shows of all time. Everything from...

-gay sharks

- "on brand" honest hips, nipple slips, stadium roof jumps

- "Purple Rain" in the Rain

- and so much more!... THIS WEEK, ON SPORTS OF COURSE W/ JONAH & RPF

In last weekend's, NFL Divisional round action...

- The Chiefs eek past the Jags with a hobbled Mahomes

- The Bengals are roaring into KC after taking down the Bills in Buffalo

- The Brock lore continues as the 9ers edge the Dak and The ‘Boys

 

Will the Cowboys ever win another Super Bowl?

Do you think it’s fair to criticize Dak or McCarthy?

 

A look ahead to the upcoming NFL NFC/AFC Championship games:

9ers @ Eagles

Bengals @ Chiefs

Each Team's Keys to Victory

Chiefs

- of course the health of Patrick Mahomes, but with him hobbled, have you seen Isiah Pacheco?

Bengals

- Defensive line (Jeff Gunter, Trey Hendrickson, Sam Hubbard, Joseph Ossai, Cam Sample, Zach Carter, B.J. Hill, DJ Reader, Jay Tufele, Josh Tupou)... these boys absolutely dominated the Bills' O-line.

49ers

- as Brock Purdy shows his inexperience the deeper he goes into the playoffs, he will need "security blankets"... CMC and Kittle, BUT, I think they will need their D-secondary to hole Eagles' pass game in check (Ambry Thomas, Charvarius Ward, Samuel Womack III, George Odum, Talanoa Hufanga, Tashaun Gipson Sr)

Eagles

- LB's (Nakobe Dean, T.J. Edwards, Christian Elliss, Kyron Johnson, Patrick Johnson, Haason Reddick, Kyzir White)... they will need to stop Kittle and plug CMC holes
