Tipped Balls

TWO. DAYS. AWAY! THE SUPER BOWL. A NATIONAL HOLIDAY. THE BIGGEST DAY IN SPORTS! But first…we discuss the polar opposite of that…The Pro Bowl Games. Which was indeed the biggest embarrassment in sports this year. All of us agree it was next to unwatchable, and sometimes vintage is good. Next, we discuss the coaching moves, QB rumors, and a slew of other news stories circulating in NFL circles. Then…we begin. Breaking down in depth this weekends game. Who will wear the crown? Sam and Uncle Sam agree…but does Bruce? You’re gonna have to listen to find out. (P.S. Brady retired. Again.)

The Super Bowl matchup we’ve all been waiting for. If the script wasn’t predictable enough, the 1 seed Chiefs vs the 1 seed Eagles will face off in the big game. We discuss Tom Brady RETIREMENT 2.0, and break down some new coaching hires. Bruce builds a shrine to Mike Danna live on air, while Uncle Sam gives major kudos to the entire Chiefs D. Sam has criticisms for the officials of the AFC championship, and the Eagles owe Kyle Shanahan and the 9ers front office a box of chocolates for their bid to the big game.

Did someone say CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND?! Before we break down the games that decide who moves on to face off for the crown, we had some business to take care of. First and foremost the coaching carousel has begun, with the Panthers bringing in Frank to solve their problems. The boys talk about the NFL Honors finalists, and pick their favorites to earn an award. Then…the PICKS. Uncle Sam and Bruce agree on their AFC and NFC Champions, but Sam disagrees wholeheartedly. Who went with who? Listen to find out.

TO ALL BILLS FANS: Just an FYI, StubHub customer service BLOWS. Good luck. The Bengals had plenty of choice words for Bills Mafia, deservedly so after the spanking they laid on them in Orchard Park this weekend. So we have a Pat Mahomes vs Joe Cool AFC Championship game again…this one should be fun. Uncle Sam pops a boner for the Eagles after they little boy the G Men, and Bruce reiterates how much Dak, Big Mike, and Jerry OG gargle cack. Is Brock Purdy for real? No. But CM22 and the 49ers D could bring a Lombardi to the Bay Area.

In a Divisional weekend that is indeed for all the marbles Sam can’t help but to buy into the parody of the NFL and believe some Giants (wink wink) will fall. We all believe in Philadelphia and Kansas City, but both Sam and The Boat believe the Bengals will knock off the Bills. Uncle Sam picks all the high seeds in his most boring and lackluster predictions of all time, and Sam shocks the world by believing the Cowboys will stun San Francisco, after a tumultuous pass rush gives Brock Purdy a mashing he won’t soon forget

In a somber moment for Sam, the Bucs and Tom Brady were soundly outplayed by the Dallas Cowboys to end a crazy Super Wild Card weekend. Dak played the game of his life, and sent Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Tom Brady golfing. What does this mean for Tom’s future? The boys all have their own takes. Sam also is overjoyed by the Jags big comeback over Justin Erbert and the Chargers. Does anyone in the Chargers organization deserve to keep their jobs? We think not. The Bills and Bengals both have shaky weeks against the back up QBs of Baltimore and Miami, but come out with victories. Which team is for real? Bruce thinks neither, but the Bengals are especially fraudulent.

Yeah. How about them? We all predict them taking a big L to a “washed” Tom Brady and the rag tag Bucs on Monday Night. But before that we break down all the Super Wildcard Weekend matchups, including the issues with Miami and Baltimore missing their starting QBs. In a battle for who’s more of a fraud the Vikings and Giants face off on Sunday, and even Pete Carroll thinks the Seahawks are going to get mashf***ed by the 49ers.

THE REGULAR SEASON HAS COME TO A CLOSE! ITS PLAYOFF TIME.

The seeding is done. The home field advantages have been handed out. And now crunch time is upon us. We recap all the week 18 action, including the Dolphins awful win for a playoff spot, the Seahawks ripping out the hearts of Lions fans, but the Honolulu Blue had their mission: to keep Green Bay playing golf. The Texans did the most Texans things ever, and the Patriots have a QB situation as they miss the big dance after a big loss to Buffalo.

After getting great news throughout the week regarding Damar Hamlin, we can put our minds at ease and talk a little football. We discuss the ramifications the Monday night cancellation had on the playoff picture, break down our favorite week 18 matchups, and take some time to recap a wild regular season before it’s time for THE PLAYOFFS.

We start out show with the one topic on everyone’s mind: Damar Hamlin. After a scary situation on Monday Night Football we take time to keep Damar in our thoughts and prayers and wish him a speedy recovery. All of us reflect on how a horrible occurrence such as this puts everything in perspective, that it’s much bigger then the game, and give our thoughts on how the league handled the situation. We take a few minutes to discuss the outcomes of the New Years weekend games, wrap up week 17, and discuss playoff ramifications heading into the final week of regular season action.
