Trades That Make You Go... WTF!?!

We're back after taking a break for a couple of months... and so much has happened in the word of sports. We're talking about the latest in the NFL from rule changes to trades and free agent signings as the draft approaches.

We also talk some basketball as the NBA playoffs are right around the corner... and why it should come as no surprise that the Lakers aren't contenders.

Plus, Opening Day in Major League Baseball is here.  Who is your pick to win the World Series and why is it the Dodgers?

Super Bowl LVI - Guaranteed to be Better than the Pro Bowl

The much anticipated showdown between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams is finally! We discuss and break down (in our not-so-expert way) the entire match up before making our individual picks for Super Bowl LVI.

We also discuss the latest NFL news, including another series of investigations into the Washington Communists, the NFL announcing games in Mexico and Germany, the latest series of coaching hires, and why the Pro Bowl could have used the ratings boost if Alvin Kamara was arrested DURING the game, instead of after.

Speaking of which, what can be done to improve the Pro Bowl? Or is it even worth saving?

Pro Bowl aka the NFL’s Bye Week

The Conference Championships did not disappoint. We're talking all about two great games that have set up a Super Bowl match up that no one expected when the season began.

We also share our thoughts on the retirements of Ben Roethlisberger and Tom Brady, the recent NFL coaching hires, and the huge lawsuit filed by Brian Flores that may shake up the NFL in so many ways.

We then discuss/roast the new name chosen for the Washington Football Team, and why this may bring back the Cold War on the football field.

Conf Championships - In the Crossfire of Walk-Off Wins

People have been saying it since it happened, and we'll say it again: The Divisional Round was one of the greatest weekends in football history. We discuss the weekend that had everyone on the edge of their seats up until the end of each game. It also brought back the debate on the NFL's overtime rules. We discuss whether or not they should change, and, if so, how would we change them.

We then look ahead to the Conference Championships and provide our not-so-expert analysis and predictions on which teams will head to Super Bowl LVI.

We also discuss the latest in sports news, including another head coaching vacancy, robot umpires, and a new addition to the Baseball Hall of Fame... and why there should have been more.

Divisional Round - Good-bye to the Fraud Teams

There is plenty to talk about after Wild Card weekend. We discuss all six games from the weekend and try to figure out why so many of them were blowout wins and why one referee crew is done for the season.

The playoffs (playoffs!?!) continue this weekend with the Divisional Round. We'll be bringing our not-so-expert analysis and predictions for the four games on the schedule.

Plus, another head coach surprising loses his job. We try to figure out why and discuss whether or not the NFL has made any progress at when it comes to diversity among the head coaching ranks in our What's Bothering the Minorities segment.

Week 18 - Antonio Brown Burns Another Bridge

After a crazy Week 17, there are not many playoff spots left. We'll discuss the weekend that was, which included some emotional upsets, the overpowered Burrow-to-Chase Connection, and Antonio Brown finding yet another way to get kicked off a team.

Then it's on to Week 18, the final weekend of the regular season which is just as unpredictable as Week 1. But rather than go game-by-game, we will make our final playoff predictions. Who will be in when all is said and done? And if the Colts lose in Jacksonville, will we see a Sunday Night Tie?

Plus, the Washington Football Team is set to announce the franchise's new nickname next month. We make our predictions on what we think the new name will be... and what we hope it will be.

Week 17 - Water is Wet, Mike is White

After the Christmas Weekend games, the playoffs are starting to take shape, but many teams are still in the running, especially on the AFC side. We look back on Week 16 and discuss the surprises and who really is the worst team in the NFL.

Then, we jump into Week 17 which is packed full of games with playoff implications. We look at the clinching scenarios and provide our not-so-expert analysis and predictions for the first games of the new year.

Plus, we look back on the life and legacy of sports legend, John Madden, who passed away. We share our favorite Madden-related memories, the worst glitches, and the worst cover curses.

Week 16 - That‘s What Kings Do

After a wild weekend of game postponements, injuries, and upsets, we try our best to make sense of Week 15. And is this just the beginning of COVID postponements?

We then discuss the Week 16 slate of games, which features the much anticipated Minority Matchup between Chickenwing's 49ers and JC's Titans on Thursday night. And with Antonio Brown coming off his suspension, should the Bucs keep him or release him?

Plus, we load up ESPN's NFL Playoff Machine again and look at how our playoff predictions have changed from two weeks ago... and Rob's tries to find another chaos scenario that puts the Giants in the playoffs.
