  • Big Trouble in NBA China, Cannabis & Football, + NFL & College Storylines
    Dave is finally sober after last week, & is joined once again by Shea to run over some big news from the sports world this week, as well as the usual football storylines.
    - It all started with a little tweet, & resulted in an entire nation shunning the NBA. We try to tackle the controversy surrounding Daryl Morey & his tweet in support of Hong Kong causing China to completely admonish the NBA & cause a global incident.
    - In light of Percy Harvin's admission he was "high" every game day during his NFL career, we discuss the continuing evolution of the cannabis in football issue, as society is constantly growing to a more mature understanding of marijuana & it's place in the world, as well as sports.
    - NFL stories of the week: Chiefs banged up an mortal, Pats continue to roll (but there are concerns), NFC bloodbath with the Niners, Seahawks & Rams in a hell of a divisional battle, + other stories from the week.
    - A brief on college football as the season finally begins to heat up.
    Iced Coffee makes for a much more coherent pod. No hangovers this week, lets get SportsGasmic.
    1 hr 17 min
  • MLS Screw-jobs & Premier League Banter, Gin-soaked
    Part Two of the "Dave has too much beer + gin" pods of the week - and it's a bit of a ride. Shea hangs on for dear life as he keeps the coaster on the rails, just, as the lads chat/slur their way through the issues of the week. Kind of a special edition this one.
    - The hopes for a fruitful post #AUnitedFront era are dashed quickly as the MLS & VAR conspire to screw over the Timbers time & time again.
    - Shea considers what might have been as Arsenal grab a point at Old Trafford, as well as relishing in the continued Spursy times.
    - Dave gives Sheffield United credit for making life hard for Liverpool, as the reds get by in one of those "you gotta win ugly sometimes" games.
    - The gin really starts to hit hard as Dave almost falls asleep on pod, & Shea saves it.
    Pour a gin & get soaked like Dave, it's a unique one this week.

  • Funky NFL, College Playoff Hypotheticals, Fair Pay to Play
    Part One of the "Dave has too much beer + gin" pods for this week, Shea joins/holds up Dave and chats all things NFL, college football, and some Fair Pay to Play debate.
    - The Chiefs are a cheat code as they get by the valiant Lions.
    - Patriots struggle past a tough Buffalo D.
    - More cracks in the LA Rams squad.
    - Dissecting big Eagles win in Green Bay
    - The big college football results of the weekend, including just how important was the Ohio State "statement" win in Nebraska.

  • Quarterbacks of the Future, & Other NFL & NCAA Stories of the Week

  • Antonio Brown Saga + NFL Week 1, NCAA Week 2, KD Hates the NBA (Sometimes)
    A hell of a lot of news to try and chew on this week in the NFL, the Antonio Brown saga taking a disturbing turn, College Football, and a little bit of basketball action.
    - Antonio Brown: The end in Oakland, the Patriots signing, & the serious allegations of sexual assault.
    - NFL Week 1: Pats roll, Lamar is perfect, the Browns take a big dump, & other stories from week one.
    - The Patriots the most hated team of the 21st century?
    - College Footy Week 2: Clemson statement, Oregon cupcake walk, USC, LSU, etc.
    - USA Basketball loses for the first time since 2006, no medals at the FIBA World Cup.
    - Kevin Durant hates the NBA, sometimes. How right is he, & how complicit is he?
    Tea & Coffee. Double parked. Shoutout froffs.

  • Football's Racism Problem + Derby Reviews & European Previews

    Shea & Dave hit the round ball game again, with lots on the table this week. We begin in serious mode and discuss the ridiculousness that is the continued problem of racism in football, focusing on Italy as Romelu Lukaku has to defend against both opposition and his own fans simply because of his skin colour. Football must reckon with itself rather than continually deflect, and steps in France against bigotry have shown there are options to be taken.

    We lighten the mood back to talking the on field game after this, as Shea reflects on his Gunners taking a point from Spurs in a fiery North London Derby. A point that at one point looked unlikely, and in the end could have been three. Just how unlikeable are the stars at the Spurs, and why is Harry Kane allowed to blatantly dive without the media scrutiny that non-English stars get? Along with this, we also chat about the prospects for the non LFC vs Man City field in the Premier League, figuring out who is in prime position to take the rest of the top four, and the struggles of Chelsea and Manchester United.

    Champions League Group Stage preview follows, as we bang out the groups and try to predict who might get through. Some groups are cakewalks, some will be bloodbaths. We lather ourselves up and dive right in.

    MLS talk finishes out the pod as we briefly touch on a big Timbers result, wild Sounders vs Galaxy, LAFC continue to roll, and Philly get a big result in the East. 

    Dave is eight beers deep by the end of the pod as some harmless mindless banter finishes us out for the week. Good stuff.
