Ep. 101: LeBron's Lakers, LaVar Ball, and...Fantasy Football SCANDAL!!! Oct 25, 2018

Show notes

It's a little bit of everything today. A smorgasbord, if you will, of topical sports news. LeBron's Lakers stumbling out of the gate, the Red Sox being the most fun team to root for, and even a little update on everything that LaVar, Lonzo, and LiAngelo Ball have been up to. There might even be a little millionaire matchmaking taking place? Oh, and the biggest Fantasy Football controversy ever... caused by Dave, and Rob is just READY to jump at the chance to call him out. Stick around for the end, because Rob is really trying to incite the internet into a letter writing campaign condemning his terrible behavior.

Ep. 100: The Crankiest Old Man Sports Takes Oct 23, 2018

Show notes

Yeah, it's episode 100, and since Rob and Dave put out one episode every 10 years, that means they're both at least 1,000 years old. Math! But as such, it's time to sit back and figure out -- what are the ten "cranky old man sports takes" that you actually believe in? Any sport, any aspect of the sport, could be on the court or off. But what turns two men in their thirties (okay, we were lying about the thousand year old thing) into New York Post curmudgeons? Find out here on the Kicker Podcast!

Ep. 99: Rob and Dave's Somehow Even Worse Attempt At MLB Announcing Oct 18, 2018

Show notes

Guys, they really tried. They really, really did. Astros versus Red Sox, one baseball fan and one decidedly non-baseball fan gave it their all, and they learned a thing we'd kind of always assumed: baseball is a LOT of dead time. Does the conversation descend into a cantankerous discussion of why lefties can't beat the shift and a healthy does of Rob's Lando Calrissian impression? Yes it does. And this is in the middle of a one-run playoff game. We shudder to imagine what might go down between these two during a 9-2 laugher in the middle of July. In short, please hire these two men to be your local team's play-by-play guys. Let's make baseball super weird.

Ep. 98: Rob and Dave's Disastrous Attempt To Do NFL Play-by-Play Oct 16, 2018

Show notes

Well, we can put that experiment to bed. You know, like every NFL fan who can speak in full sentences, Rob and Dave have long thought that they could do play-by-play better than the jamokes who are actually on television. That they'd be funnier and more insightful and just a hell of a lot more entertaining. Well... you be the judge. They do the first quarter of the marquee matchup between the Chiefs and Patriots, and I think we all learn something about ourselves in a very short amount of time.

Ep. 97: NFL Twitter Beefs And The Conor McGregor's Circus Oct 11, 2018

Show notes

We're talking Red Sox sexiness in beating the Yankees. Jamaal Charles making every 31 year old on the planet feel super old. And of course, the descent of UFC into one notch above the WWE, the way it was kind of always destined to be.

That's right, it's time for another edition of all-in/not a fan. Rob and Dave are diving super deep into the front page of most major sports web sites to select the biggest, weirdest, and let's be honest, funniest stories from the week.

Ep. 96: Pros & Cons of the Western Conference NBA Teams Oct 09, 2018

Show notes

The one we've all been waiting for. Can LeBron make the Lakers a contender? Can Melo gel with The Beard? Will Derrick Rose ever retire? All these questions, and a few more that no one is asking, will finally be answered.

Ep. 95: The Pros and Cons of the Eastern Conference NBA Teams Oct 04, 2018

Show notes

Okay, we're really sorry, but the first ten minutes of this podcast are just Rob and Dave getting super angry at each other about a MAJOR FANTASY FOOTBALL CONTROVERSY. We know, we know, you don't care about anyone else's league, but really, everyone's souls are at stake here. Feel free to skip past this if you're just here for the hoops. But then we get into which teams have a chance of making noise in the East (read: basically none of them if you don't have Kawhi or Jayson Tatum) on your team), which teams are going to joyfully stink, and which teams are just super happy to get a playoff seed between #4 and #7 for the next 100 years. And we'll be doing the Western Conference teams next, so look out for that. But darnit, Dave just can't stop salivating about Luka Doncic. So much great hoops to look forward to!!

Ep. 94: LeBron Is In A Weird Uniform, And Kyrie Launches A Whole New Conspiracy Oct 02, 2018

Show notes

Oh yeah, it's time for your classic mid-week news dump. Some storylines from around the NBA and NFL. We're talking Le'Veon Bell (finally coming back). We're talking LeBron (what sort of year is he going to have? Because he's going to intentionally score about 8 points per game.) We're even talking some baseball (what??) led by Rob (WHAT??!??!), who has a simply delightful story that almost sounds like product placement. All this and more on The Kicker Podcast, where you can always rely on Rob and Dave to kick things off with a fierce debate about the difference between "fall" and "autumn."

Ep. 93: 10 New Rules To Fix NCAA Basketball and Football Sep 27, 2018

Show notes

If you're one of those sports fans that thinks the NCAA is just perfect and nothing about it could be better, then maybe this episode just ain't for you. But if you're one of the 99.99% of fans who enjoy college sports to some degree but wish there were a bit less guilt or shenanigans associated with it, then this IS for you! We're addressing scoring systems, overtime procedures, and of course, the outrageous pay of the coaches in juxtaposition to the inrageous pay of the students. Is "inrageous" even a word? Of course not. But the pay of the students is certainly the polar opposite of the pay for the coaches, so we thought we'd have some fun with pre-fixes. And if you have any ideas on how to fix the NCAA further (or fix our fixes), you can ALWAYS drop us a line at Facebook.com/officialthekicker. And thanks as always to MyBookie.ag for keeping the lights on around here! It's an audio podcast, but there are still lights used occasionally.

Ep. 92: It's The Demise of the Patriots Dynasty Sep 25, 2018

Show notes

Have you ever heard a man who has just been beaten by life? Well now you have. Dave has taken this loss to the Detroit Lions hard, and it's leading to all sorts of stress eating and Belichick conspiracies that take back all the way to 2001. Plus! Some more uplifting NFL stories, like the ascension of Pat Mahomes (and his new weird-as-hell nicknames) leading the best offense in all of football. And they're not even the best team in football! That would be the Buffalo Williamses. With unbeatable Josh Allen at the helm. It's an all-football podcast for your NFL junkies, with a startling amount of CFL talk sprinkled in.
