The Hog Sty

Robert Henson is joining the show as a regular co-host. We discuss defensive tackles, the passing of Joe Bugel and some other topic that was in the news... oh yeah the fact that the teams changing its name. Heck of a first show for the new guy.

With the full compliment of sports business gabbers intact for a second straight episode, we dove in got to the constant steam of societal problems that now accompany every show. First up was discussion of how NASCAR handled the noose/not a noose issue that roiled their sport (not a sport…) last week. Steve was critical of their PR bungling while John articulated the larger context. Chris was still confounded by NASCAR as a sport. Next up was the trend in COVID 19 related opt-out clauses for upcoming/ start/restart of pro sports leagues. The NBA already has this and now MLB has it as well. Hi Ryan Zimmerman. This crossed over into competitive balance issues, player safety, risk management and labor relations. It also allowed the gang to dunk on the Washington Wizards. All of this lead up to a closer examination of the NFL as they speed closer to real decisions about their season. One thing we all definitively learned was that John loves Omaha Steaks.

Our position group breakdowns continues with Safeties this weekened. We also had a lot of twittering that we enjoyed including tweets from some Redskins legends.

We talk about the retirement of Bobby Mitchel's jersey. Breakdown WR's

The city removed a monument to a terrible human being. We break down linebackers.

A beam of light in a dark world, the third leg on the stool returns after battling cancer. Welcome back John! First up is more updates on Baseball’s self destruction. The NBA announces their return plans in the land of dreams, but will it work? And to celebrate John’s return video games return to the line-up with a discussion of EA’s exclusivity with the NFL and a brief history of Football based games.

We go over the depth chart focusing on the interior of the O-line.

As the Redskins and the rest of the NFL start to get back to a normal offseason, news came this week that the team can no longer hold training camp in Richmond. After that, we discuss the offensive tackles on the roster.

The show revisits the topic of the sports in a post-COVID 19 world. First up for discussion, and maybe on your television, is the NHL. Steve and Chris discuss the plan, and how the 4th of the major 4 sports has a good strategy to name a Stanley Cup Champion. That compares to MLB which looks to have its first crack in labor peace in 15+ years. Will the owners crater the season? Will players cry poor endlessly on Twitter? The coming weeks will be interesting to see what the 2020 MLB season will look like. This all ends with a look at what lessons the NBA might learn for their Disney World tournament. We end with this warning, are you bootlegging Greek Freak tee-shirts? Well you best cease & desist, STAT!

The Redskins have a lot of change coming for the secondary with both of last years starting corners now gone. Happy, Memorial Day.
