Talking Heads episodes

October 14, 2015 Steve Sarkesian out at USC, David Aldridge on Gilbert Arenas, Matt Barnes - Derek Fisher bust-up
On Monday, Bram Weinstein and Marc Sterne opined about the fate of Steve Sarkisian, whose drinking problem had become a very public spectacle at USC. Twenty-four hours later, Athletic Director Pat Haden dismissed his head coach, prompting Bram to deliver updated thoughts on what will happen now, as the media’s inevitable spasms of assumption and tabloid journalism take hold. Then, Bram and Marc welcome TNT’s David Aldridge to recall the Gilbert Arenas era in Washington and the infamous guns-in-the-locker-room incident that came awfully close to a real tragedy. Also up for discussion, Mike Francesca shaming an emotional Mets fan, and the absurd bust-up between Matt Barnes, small forward for the Memphis Grizzlies & Derek Fisher, coach of the LA Lakers.

October 06, 2015 The Age of Selfies, The Fall of Ragnar, Why Does That Priest Have A Musket?
As women are wrongly barred from NFL locker rooms, unfairly ridiculed for taking selfies at baseball games, and sexually harassed by their college coaches, they have found a new champion: Bram Weinstein. Then again, cheering on the female gender is nothing new for our host, who recounts the story of his college transformation into the official “Chi guy” - a mascot of sorts - for Alpha Chi Omega, the very same sorority being lambasted for their “anti-social” behavior at the Diamondbacks game. Speaking of mascots, Bram & Marc Sterne discuss the plight of Ragnar, the beloved Minnesota Vikings mascot with Minneapolis Star-Tribune reporter Michael Rand, and the guys also review the foolishness of a certain priest’s violent NFL fanaticism.

September 29, 2015 Nationals Redefine The Choke-Job, American Dilemma Pete Rose with Kostya Kennedy
Little did Jonathan Papelbon know when he began this season that he would end it as a Washington National, not to mention that he would choke their season away. Even less foreseeable is that the choke would be a literal one, with Papelbon’s hand somehow ending up around the neck of golden boy Bryce Harper. Bram Weinstein & Marc Sterne muse on the unfortunate trend of the Nats adopting the inept characteristics of their crosstown football cousins. Bram records from his basement in Connecticut, and speaks candidly about the sad state of DC sports and its role in his decision to “turn the page” on a career move back to his hometown…for now. Then, the definitive debate on Pete Rose with SI’s Kostya Kennedy, author of “Pete Rose: An American Dilemma” in which we discuss whether or not Charlie Hustle finally deserves a shot at a Cooperstown ballot. Spoiler alert: He does. And finally… deviant, unsavory things we find compelling on the internet.

September 22, 2015 Don Orsillo into the sunset. Do sportscasters still matter? Through the looking glass with Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald
Upon learning that beloved Red Sox announcer Don Orsillo would not be re-signed, our host Bram Weinstein spun into a self-described career crisis. “Do sportscasters matter anymore? Do we exist? I don’t know, I’m sitting my basement!” Our resident Red Sox fanatic Marc Sterne chimes in and then gets Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald on the phone for a deep dive on the entire Orsillo/NESN debacle. Then, Bram and Marc get into the cops trolling a crazy Alabama fan, and finally, they muse about Chip Kelly restoring swagger at “The U.” Drake is invoked. Let us know what you think of the show.

September 15, 2015 Premiere Episode! Guests: Chris Cillizza & Michael Barasch
In their first show, Bram Weinstein and Marc Sterne ask Chris Cillizza of The Washington Post if the news media has fallen for Donald trump the way the sports media fell for Tim Tebow. Plus, this one time at band camp, we accidentally penetrated our rival…we’ll explore the controversy of Kansas State’s-alleged-Starship Enterprise, with Michael Barasch of http://CollegeMarching.com. Talking Heads is the best sports show ever. Tweet your agreement or dissent to our intrepid hosts http://twitter.com/BramESPN and http://twitter.com/marcsterne.
