Tipped Balls

OUR FINAL EPISODE OF 2022! Wow. We actually made it through an entire year without Uncle Sam physically assaulting Bruce live on camera. We take time to discuss the hot topics in the league. One of the game's best ever defensive players JJ Watt announced he’s retiring, Tua takes another blow, and the Broncos might just be the worst franchise in football right now. We talk about the similarities between Urban Meyer and Nathaniel Hackett as they are the only two coaches to not make it through year one. We all pick the Cowboys to essentially end the Titans season without Ryan Tannehill and knew all along Trevor Lawrence was good. The Panthers and Bucs square off in the most meaningful game of the weekend, and Uncle Sam thinks Tampa will officially miss the playoffs. With Carson Wentz at the helm, Bruce loses all faith in the Commanders and believes that the QB change will deflate the team. Sam thinks the Ravens are one of the worst 10-win teams ever, and that Cinccy will smack Buffalo in a battle for power in the AFC. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR STICKING WITH US THROUGH OUR FIRST YEAR OF TIPPED BALLS! MUCH MORE TO COME IN 2023.

Look at that! The Lions suck again. We start out the show with Bruce discussing the ramifications of the Lions blowout loss to Carolina, and with a Packers win against the Dolphins, what this could mean for the NFC Wild Card picture. Is Tom Brady washed? Sam still defends his GOAT and calls for immediate change amongst the Bucs higher ups. Uncle Sam loves Gardner Minshew, and thinks Philly will be A Ok with him at the helm to end the regular season. Are the Vikings the worst-best team ever? With a 12-3 record they might be even though almost every game comes to down to a field goal. As the Jaguars continue to roll, and the Titians continue to tank, is there a new power in the AFC South? Sam thinks his off season prediction will come true and DUVAL will not only win their division but put the entire AFC on notice.

AND A VERY WARM WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! In the most festive spirit possible we break down our thoughts from all of the Christmas matchups, exchange some gifts, and Uncle Sam gives us the gift of a few last awful takes to make the season bright. Thank you so much for listening to Tipped Balls, and from our families to yours…MERRY CHRISTMAS!

As we debut our new looks, many NFL teams have as well. The Lions look like a playoff team, the Cowboys look lackluster, and the Patriots look like a dumpster fire. Uncle Sam loved how hard the Texans fought against the Chiefs even though they come up just short like the week prior. Could we have been right all along? JAX looks like a playoff team, and Sam thinks they could toss the spiraling Titans out of their AFC South title. Even after two awful losses, and for some odd reason hanging on to Todd Bowles, Sam still believes the Bucs will win their division, and a playoff game, much to Uncle Sam's despair. Bruce is over the moon about the Lions big win over the Jets, but hesitates to get too excited, and says the team needs to just take it week by week.

Injuries. Injuries. Injuries. This deep in the NFL season it’s a plague. We discuss how injuries at critical positions will affect the Ravens Seahawks going forward. Speaking of the team in Seattle, we discuss their big in division loss to the also injury ridden 49ers on Thursday night, and Uncle Sam continues his hate on the farce that he believes Brock Purdy is. With professional football on Saturday for the first time all year, we break down all the weekends' matchups. And it’s unanimous: The Lions will beat the Jets…or will they? Sam squared picks JAX to upset Dak, Bruce rides the Burrow train, and Uncle Sam believes that Houston might pick up their second win of the year in a trap game the Chiefs might sleep through. We break down all the possible playoff clinchers and wrap up another week.

This week on Fantasy Frenzy we dive deep into all the transactional and injury news you need to know before a action packed weekend. After a quick recap of the Buccaneers big win on Monday night, we let you know who we’re starting and sitting along with who we’re adding and dropping as the witching hour of the fantasy season rests upon us. With fantasy playoffs looming, you don’t want to miss out on our favorites and flops going into week15.

We have a special guest on the show today. Santa himself joins us behind the board. Being a huge Lions fan, St Nick was overjoyed after the big cats rained on the Vikings parade. Sam has finally bought in, affirming his promise that he will pick Detroit to win out, and the expectation should be a playoff appearance for the Lions this year. Uncle Sam is glad that we finally saw the Broncos team we expected to see all year, until Russ went out with a very untimely injury. Great defense almost out Denver back on the map against the Chiefs, but what happened in Dallas? The Texans almost took down the Cowboys in the battle for Texas, nearly confirming Uncle Sams ideology that Mike McCarthy and Dak are frauds. Sam pretty down for the count due to illness called for Todd Bowles job after the 9ers embarrassed Tom and the Bucs in his homecoming. He also believes that the Jags might give a spiraling Titans team a run for their money in the AFC South, and is ready to write off the Giants, Ravens, and Seahawks.

Can you believe it? Christmas tunes, horrible drivers, and only ONE month of regular season football left. We discuss a slew of divisional matchups slated for week 14 and make our picks on this week's winners and losers. Bruce is a believer in the Vegas bettors and his own Detroit Lions to beat the 10-2 Vikings at Ford field…even though they are all wrong. Uncle Sam having a blue Christmas and feeling under the weather this week picks Mr. Huntley and the Ravens who are riddled with injury to beat their rival in Pittsburgh in monotoned fashion. Sam thinks Tom Brady will upset the 49ers in his return home to the Bay Area. We end off the show by discussing the plague of injuries, and an interesting QB change in Atlanta, and why Arthur Smith might be on to something.

After a quick recap of Monday night's action, we update you on injuries impacting the fantasy football world in week 14, give you advice on who we would start and who we would sit, and who our weekly sleepers are

The Lions are…in the playoff hunt? Yes the world is officially coming to an end. Bruce doesn’t have much to say after Dan Campbell and Jared Goff destroy the Jaguars on Sunday. We discuss what the expectations should be going forward for our hometown team. Uncle Sam details the impact that the Jimmy G injury has on not just the 49ers but the entirety of the NFC. Sam thinks the Cowboys are a real threat to compete for a Super Bowl appearance after their routing of the Colts on Sunday Night, and compares this years Bengals team, to the Cinderella story that almost was in 2021 after Joe Burrow picks apart the Chiefs to wrap up week 13.
