Throw The Game

Join us for the Season of Miracles as we discuss the Miracle in Miami and draft Decemberween characters for a pickup basketball game. Who will win: Harry's Bumbles or Sky's Bleak Midwinter? You decide! Also, we answer the following questions: Kirk Cameron or James Cameron? Who is allowed to be a Patriots fan? What does a Small Forward do? If James Naismith was Canadian, why is the Basketball Hall of Fame in Massachusetts?

Tonight we shoot from the hip, discussing whatever we feel like. The result: more questions than answers. Were wraparound sunglasses cool in 1999? What are Space Sports? Is chess a sport? Is baseball a sport?!? Famous people discussed: Ludwig Wittgenstein, Chris Hadfield, Billy Crystal

We could have spent our Thanksgiving (US) talking about the Detroit Lions but instead we watched "Little Giants" (1994) starring Rick Moranis. This movie was ordered by Steven Spielberg based on a McDonalds' Super Bowl commercial... and it shows. Discussion topics: Crunchy vs. Puffed Cheetos, Wonder Years reboot, "Get yourself a man who looks like Sherman and talks like Mr. Peabody."

Just in time for the 2018 Grey Cup, we do a 100% CFL episode! The CFL is low-key the funnest league in North America?!? Where else are players drinking beers on the field (and crushing the can against their helmet)? Where else has cannabis use been pretty much ok for years? Where else will you find mascots that look like McNugget Buddies and anime/lumberjack/popeye Justin Trudeau? Nowhere but the Canadian Football League, a professional sports league that not even Canadians care about. But we do, listener, we do.

Thanks for tuning in to the Graveyard Shift all-sports conspiracy theory radio hour. We're your latenite guides to all the stuff that the commish doesn't want you to know! Lebron's expertly-crafted illusion of Ty Lue (have you ever seen them in the same place at the same time?), the truth behind Shaq's ever-deepening voice, and and Kyrie Irving's big secret - the earth isn't flat, but he is! Plus, we plan an elaborate heist to steal a picture from 50 Cent's phone.

Could Jordan get the "Supreme" logo tattooed on the top of his bald head and still go to Hornets games? We talk basketball tattoos and fisticuffs in this week's episode. Discussion topics: the high schooler's notebook doodle that is the Boston Celtics logo; Harry's Pop Tart Challenge (what man would choose unfrosted blueberry?)

Y'all think Gritty is creepy? Just wait until you see Stinger, Harvey the Hound, and some of the other waking nightmares that have been stalking NHL arenas long before Gritty broke the internet. We play NHL mascot makeover with the worst of the worst. Also: we review the remaining 4 team logos for the upcoming AAF football league.

In Harry's Uniform Corner, we critique 5 new logos from the upcoming American Alliance of Football (AAF af). Colorado's mascot Chip was injured when his T-shirt cannon malfunctioned... but was there a second T-shirt cannon on the grassy knoll? We use ballistics evidence and the zapruder film to uncover the truth. Repeat after us... "Space Jam is bad." But maybe the new Coogler-helmed Lebron-fest of a Space Jam will be kinda good? Finally, a very famous celebrity stops for a visit. This episode of Throw The Game makes no sense, not even to us.

LeBron can rap? Kevin Durant can rap better? In 2011? We start with "It Ain't Easy," LeBron & recently dropped track from the 2011 NBA lockout, but then go Heat Rocks style through a whole mess - and we mean mess - of athlete's attempts at music. Topics include: "Nature, uh, finds a Ball," Lonzo Ball's Levar Burton diss track; Dame Dolla ft.the grandson of a guy who was in ABBA; why people hatin' on Ron Artest?

What do champions eat for breakfast? Not wheaties, unless that's the secret identity of Michael Phelps' mysterious "bowl of grain." Harry tries to guess the breakfast choices of famous athletes in our game, "Ante Up! Cap That Food!" Also: Nike pulls a Yojimbo; Starter jackets are back (but they kind of suck)
