    Ep.157 - NFC L's & 12 is back in Memphis

    Struggling with my allegiance to the Washington Commanders, I've hit a crossroads. My heart races every time our franchise quarterback takes the field; flashes of brilliance overshadowed by maddening inconsistency. Will the next draft be a make-or-break moment for my fandom, or will I find myself donning the purple and black of the Ravens? Meanwhile, our defense is like Swiss cheese, and after bidding farewell to our defensive coordinator, I'm demanding a coaching shake-up that could salvage our season's finale. 

    The gridiron is abuzz, and not just with on-field action. Dallas Cowboys Michael Parsons's TikTok antics have me debating the merits of players airing their uncensored thoughts – imagine the raw insights from a team-specific podcast. As the Cowboys saddle up for the playoffs, I'm sizing up their chances and throwing in a few friendly digs at the Eagles for good measure. You'll want to join the huddle as we break down the NFL's latest drama with the candid banter you crave.

    As for the NBA, welcome back Ja Morant!

    Ep.156 - Bye Week Loss

    How did the Washington Commanders lose on their bye week? Do you think Eric Bienemy is being sabotaged? Well, buckle up, as I dissect these issues and more, including the commendable triumph of the Dallas Cowboys over the Philadelphia Eagles, and the speculation of an exhilarating rematch on the horizon. I'm also shining a light on the top teams in the league.

    Shifting our attention to the basketball court, I'm celebrating the Lakers' recent victory in the NBA's In-Season Tournament and the exceptional performance of the Pacers. But it's not all sunshine and roses—I'm also tackling Zion Williamson's weight controversy and the challenges associated with maintaining discipline and health with a massive contract. As I scrutinize the struggling Washington Wizards, I'm asking the question no one else is—should the team be moved to Baltimore and why does Baltimore seem a more deserving city? Tune in for candid insights, expert analysis, and a sports podcast that doesn't pull any punches.
