The Hog Sty

Would you doubt us if I told you we discussed Antonio Brown? Well you shouldn’t because this is the straight shooter express. Of course we talk about the speed this guy went from cuckoo to (allegedly) criminal. Next topic has us discussing the eye-popping $1B (as in billions) yearly operating budget of the Barcelona Football Club. This is why we have NFL games in London and Mexico City, the power of the global market. Can Goodell guide the invisible hand toward NFL global expansion or is the uniquely American sport only a domestic hit. Speaking of domestic hits it looks like Futbol Americano is the only thing still being watched on broadcast television even with future Hall of Fame quarterbacks going down. We wrap this up with a new Tequilla partnership between Michael Jordan, the Buss family and other NBA 1 percenters. In related news watch this space on an exciting new single malt scotch hitting the market, from Hog Sty Spirits and Bottling L.L.C.

A Day later than usual due to the Monday Night game. Rick and Matt recap the Skins loss, and answer a few questions.

It’s been many seasons since the Redskins so completely embarrassed themselves on national TV, in a game that was so poorly executed at all levels. I even saw a video clip of the water boy screwing up at his job, that’s how bad this thing went. The teams quit on themselves. The coaches have quit. The fans have quit. And who can blame any of them?

It’s a game of Monday Night Football, and if that doesn’t scare you as a Redskins fan, nothing will. Even more terrifying, the Redskins will face off against the Chicago Bears dreaded defense still without Trent Williams.

Rick and Matt recap the Cowboys loss.

Even when you expect the Skins to lose, it really sucks to lose to the Evil Empire. Washington scored first but they weren’t really ever in this one with Dallas, in a game that played out very similar to week one.

The Redskins get set to face off against their arch-rival, the villain of all villains... No not the Pats. It's Dallas Week! Ca the skins put the bad taste out of our mouth? Also, some star players are already injured, so that means the team has had to make a few roster moves. And still no Trent Williams.

The skeleton crew of Steve and Chris celebrate the kick-off of the 100th year of the National Football League by trashing it’s opening game and broadcast. They then turn their gaze to the ongoing Antonio Brown saga. While they were taping he was actually released and later signed by the Patriots. Inset eye-roll emoji. Steve then lavishes praise on Jerry Jones and his shrewd contract for Ezekiel Elliott. Closing out the NFL they check in on the Saint’s fans lawsuit finally being snuffed out by the Louisiana Supreme Court. A long dormant IJB topic was then resurrected with a As the Ball Family Turns segment. Steve and Chris declare a RIP to the Big Baller brand with the trashing of the shoe by Lonzo Ball. Could their be trouble in the Ball empire?

Obviously, some Redskins talk. Ricks plan for what to do with RFK's demolition. The Nats have a losing streak and are risking losing the wild card.

Washington started out strong but fades in the 2nd half vs the Eagles, as the Defense is unable to contain former Skins star DeSean Jackson.
