Monday Feb 02, 2026
Monday Feb 02, 2026
The boys are locked in on a "warm" Monday afternoon and are ready to make their SB game and prop bet predictions. Billy B was disrespected by not being an automatic "in" to the Football Hall of Fame... nobody cares about the NBA right now (thx Lebron) and the Winter Olympics begin... which apparently Andy hates.... in just a few days!

The boys are in studio on MLK Day catching up on a great weekend of NFL football and looking forward to the final weekend for real fans; the conference championships. Last weekend was the best football on the calendar all year... everything else is for the masses. Buffalo got completely screwed and it cost their Head Coach his job, a third of the league is searching for a new HC while in DC... well maybe a little bit of nepotism... maybe? The new RFK renders look amazing but not everybody is sold on "bounce" seats and FP shared his worst take in the history of the show... yikes.

Tuesday Nov 18, 2025
Tuesday Nov 18, 2025
The #Commanders lost in Spain. DQ made some progress with the defense but the offense struggled and in the end a loss is a loss. The 'skins have a ton of work to do for the rest of this season and into the early part of the offseason to figure out what's what on the coaching staff... plus if JD5 and Terry are available do you have to bring them back? Around the league there are some teams starting to heat up and a few legacy contenders (#Ravens and #Chiefs) that are on the outside looking in but still within striking distance. One week until Thanksgiving folks... next week... pie power rankings!

FP, LP, and Joe revisit the Sunday loss to the #Seahawks and start to process, together, what the rest of the season for the #Commanders might look like. Tough times ahead for AP, DQ, and the entire front office staff as any post-season hopes have evaporated. Meanwhile, MLB just had an incredible month of post-season drama culminating in an enjoyable, classic, wild, awesome World Series and FP and Joe spontaneously launch into a random OMC review of the newest Netflix thriller called House of Dynamite.

EP354: Bears Get Revenge; 'skins [over]Reactions; Top5 Low5; MVP Considerations
Tuesday Oct 14, 2025
Tuesday Oct 14, 2025
The boys are salty after a rainy loss at home to ‘da Bears on MNF. One person in particular is over reacting a bit (guess who?) to JD5’s performance while a few of the guys are just upset that another winnable game was lost. The NFL is absolutely wild through 6 weeks with storylines budding all around the league. We cast our top5 and low5 lots and discuss MVP candidates as we cross past the first third of the season.

Tuesday Oct 07, 2025
While Lebron is distracting sports fans with another "decision" the boys are in studio recapping the trip to LA, the win against the Chargers, and are making preparations for Monday Night against the Bears. JD5 looked good but Bill looked GREAT. The defense made adjustments and shutting out a team for three quarters is no small feat. The boys also look around the NFL with some surprise moves into and out of the top 5 + the NHL season is about to start... lets go CAPS!
Tuesday Sep 30, 2025
Tuesday Sep 30, 2025
The boys are bummed after a (non competitive) loss in Atlanta on Sunday. The offense looked anemic and the defense looked ancient... it's over; we're cooked. Nobody wanted to see a 40/40 game end in a tie; Tyreek likely done/done and we look around the league to assess the weekly top 5 and low 5. Plus, YouTube TV might have broken a few guys this week prompting a return to hardwired 4k.

Tuesday Sep 23, 2025
Tuesday Sep 23, 2025
The boys are ready to discuss all things NFL including #Commanders new signing and continued kicking woes. There are a few tough questions that fans need to consider about why the offense looked the way it did on Sunday as MM prepares for another week under center. Fantasy football target pickups for the week plus what's more impressive x2 "Colts or Bucs" edition.... and the WWE moved to ESPN with a poorly named and poorly covered PLE... but nobody cares because Cena lost and Brock isn't marketable any more... maybe.
