#55: We're Giving Wemby MVP, Roasting the Bulls, and ABS Might Actually Be Good

Episode 55 is finally here. Yes, we know. We're late. Moving on. We're kicking things off with MLB's new ABS challenge system, and honestly? We didn't expect to like it, but here we are. We break down how it's working, how many challenges teams should actually get, and why Angel Hernandez should've been replaced by a robot years ago. Then we shift to the NBA, where we're handing Wemby his MVP and not taking questions. SGA had a good run. It's Wemby's world now. We also get into the Jayden Ivy situation with the Bulls, because somebody had to say it. The same org that was planning strip club events cut a guy for speaking his faith. Make it make sense. Oh, and Shohei Ohtani might just be the greatest baseball player of all time. We said what we said. Follow Us!Got opinions? Good, so do we.

#54: Bam Drops 83 & Everyone's Mad About It

Bam Adebayo dropped 83 points and apparently committed a crime against basketball. Kyle and Isaiah break down why everyone's losing their minds over free throws, whether it counts as "ethical" (yes, really), and why Washington probably should've played defense. Also: March Madness brackets that'll bust in 48 hours, Texas football's cupcake schedule getting way too much hype, and why the World Baseball Classic needs to stop competing with March Madness. Plus a Door Dasher fighting for his life in a blizzard while Isaiah's sweating in 95-degree heat. Grab your drink. It's getting messy. Think we're wrong? Good. Rate us anyway, send this to someone who'll argue with you about it, and hit follow so you don't miss the next one.

#53: NFL Free Agency Fumbles & Baseball Nobody's Watching

The Ravens traded two first-rounders for Max Crosby and think they're Super Bowl-bound now. Cute. We break down why Baltimore will still find a way to lose in the playoffs, and laugh at the Bills being "next year's team" for the seventh straight year. Then we reluctantly discuss the World Baseball Classic because it's happening whether we care or not. Team USA should dominate their pool, but knowing America's track record in international sports, we'll probably lose to Italy somehow. Plus: Kyle's still mad about the Spurs getting Wembanyama, Houston stays dangerous, and Isaiah's kid interrupt us approximately 47 times. Hit subscribe or the algorithm wins. Share this with one friend who still believes the Bills are making a Super Bowl. We'll be back next week with more takes nobody asked for.

#52: Super Bowl 60: When Your Offensive Line Ghosts You

The day after Super Bowl 60, and we're processing what we just witnessed. The Patriots offensive line decided protection was optional, Drake Maye played three top defenses back-to-back (tough luck, kid), and the Seahawks reminded everyone what a competent game plan looks like. We also discuss why Houston still can't catch a break in football, Jokic casually painting masterpieces on the court while dreaming about horses, and the inevitable future where you'll need a premium subscription to watch overtime. Plus: baseball's streaming wars, Kyle's new executive chair, and why Harlem is NOT in California. Subscribe so when Houston finally wins something, you can say you were here from the start. (Still waiting.)

#51: The Olympian Drug Trafficker | Patriots Dynasty Returns

The good boys are back with barbecue, beer, and the Patriots heading to their 12th Super Bowl (because six years without a championship is totally a drought, Boston). Then things get...interesting: How did a Canadian Olympic snowboarder become one of the FBI's Most Wanted for running a $400M international drug empire? Spoiler: the powder wasn't snow. Plus: Indiana proves any school can win a natty now (BYU, take notes), and a quick reminder that Miami was literally built on cocaine money. Just sayin'. Like what you heard? Prove it. Hit subscribe before we expose which Hall of Famers don't deserve to be there next episode. Drop a review if you think six years without a championship counts as suffering. We'll read the funniest ones while Isaiah stress-eats BBQ during the Super Bowl. Follow us for more stories about Olympians gone rogue and Patriots fans acting like they survived the plague.
