The Slumpbuster

This episode starts on a very somber note as we discuss the tragedy that befell Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gigi Bryant and seven other passengers aboard a helicoptor in the LA area. We talk about his greatest accomplishments, what he did for the game and give our Top-5 Kobe Bryant moments to honor the man and Mamba Mentality. In addition to this we discuss the NBA's rule changes for the 2020 All-Star game and whether or not this is a fitting tribute. It's very few times the Superbowl would be a secondary headline but we make our way into dissecting the season for both the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Niners were coming off a 4-12 year, their franchise quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo tearing his ACL, how did they improve so quickly? The Chiefs we knew were good but were we ready for Patrick Mahomes to elevate himself to elite tier so quickly? Between these two teams there has to be a winner and we choose ours to close this episode! Have a happy Super Bowl weekend everyone!  #KobeBryant #ChiefsKingdom #GoNiners

Welcome to the show that hits harder than a Conor McGregor shoulder to your face! On this weeks episode Ju-Ju & Dre break down the San Francisco 49ers dominant win in the NFC Championship game and the Kansas City Chiefs return to the big game after a 50-year hiatus. Then we hold our contractually obligated Antonio Brown discussion as the troubled star loses his agent Drew Rosenhaus and has police visit his home twice in one week. Prayers out to Deontay West and light NBA catch-up. Then it is time to discuss the biggest sports scandal in baseball's modern era, the Houston Astros. Following the firing of Mets manager Carlos Beltran, a "relative' goes scorched Earth on twitter and we discuss. Ju-Ju gives an empassioned argument on the Baseball Writers Association of America hypocrisy in keeping Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens off their ballots. Then we close by welcome back our favorite shit talking Irishman following Conor McGregor's big win against Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone at UFC 246. Who's next, Khabib, Covington, maybe even Floyd? We discuss!  #ConorMcGregor #SuperbowlLIV #HoustonAstros
