Episode 3 (recorded Thursday, October 11th, 2018)
On this episode of Zero Credibility Sports, Peter, Harry & Justin give their thoughts on the topics listed below:
NBA- Kyrie Irving plans to re-sign with the Celtics. Should we take the words of this "flat-earther" at face value? (0:28)- Kevin Durant wants the NBA to return to Seattle. Will that happen anytime soon? (3:00) -- Hint: follow the money. A primer on why basketball left Seattle for Oklahoma City (5:15)- Jimmy Butler wants all the smoke! Scrimmage drama at Timberwolves practice. (And we promise: unless Butler moves to the Rockets to become part of a championship contender, or gets involved in some sort of fisticuffs, this is the final time we will mention of him!) (12:35)Football- Manchester United heads into the international break with a much-ballyhooed escape vs Newcastle. We dive into Gary Neville's rant against the board as a "fan" and Paul Scholes' unsparing words as a Mourinho critic (17:00) -- Amid a dissection of United's transfer record under Mourinho's helm (31:55), two "semantic" arguments broke out: how to *properly* channel another person's point of view (39:20); and what constitutes a "trophy" at Manchester United (43:20) -- We conclude the weekly update on United by asking what, if anything, does the Newcastle win mean for Jose and his side? (50:50)- Liverpool vs Man City: was the result -- to use a dreaded word in sports -- *deserved*? (56:43); Pep Guardiola's penalty decision (59:10); issues for Liverpool's front 3, specifically Salah (1:03:05)- Champions League favorites (the host, in his infinite wisdom, has arbitrarily asked for *two* teams), redux (1:12:30) NFL- Drew Brees is the all-time passing yardage leader. Is he underrated? Or is he actually slightly overrated? (1:22:22)- Which 5-0 team is better: Rams or Chiefs? And how high is Patrick Mahomes' ceiling? (1:35:00)UFC 229- Peter struggles with "The Black Beast" sobriquet (1:37:40)- The main event: "the Russian bear mauled the Irish big mouth" (1:43:30)- Dana White's shrewd (or sly, or sinister) promotional strategy (2:01:20)- How real is the hate between UFC combatants? (2:10:00)WWE Super Show-down- WWE's impact on the misspent youths of Peter & Justin (2:15:30)- Peter's experience at the MCG (2:20:25); paying homage to Vince McMahon (2:39:50)
- Suffering from what can only be his own bout of roid rage, Peter ends the show by claiming that he can last a few rounds with Rhonda Rousey (2:42:25)
