Ovi gets closer to the goal record. The Yankees change their facial hair policy and we pick a new pope based on names alone. Who’s back of the week(00:17:07-00:51:56). We finish with a Monday Reading and remembering Hooters(01:39:29-01:56:24).
Somehow Sydney Sweeney is engaged. Watching those two galavant around together was like watching Skimemax at midnight when you thought your parents were asleep. So what were we talking about? Sydney Sweeney and her not famous fiance have pushed back their wedding. As the wise philosopher Michael Scott once said, “engaged ain’t married”. And Jim ended up with Pam. It could be you, reading this right now. It could be your pal Henry....
To say I’m devastated would be an understatement. I’m torn up and could barely get out of bed this morning. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Is this what happens when the SEC loses its spot as the dominant conference in college football? Ohio State does not care about baseball at all. Baseball, in college, is a southern sport. The best players play in the SEC and the ACC. I’m embarrassed for the actions of these Alabama players....
But is Alabama also a baseball school?!?!? Alabama is ROLLIN' to start the season! Both top 10 teams Oregon State and Virginia struggled in Round Rock going 1-2. That’s college baseball……
If you didn’t see this coming, then you’ve just been lying to yourself. I’d say that time was 2019. The past 5 years have all just been about salvaging whatever was left of Joel Embiid’s prime. A prime that now seems to be in the rear view mirror. I legitimately don’t know how anyone could have seen this Sixers season playing out any differently? He’s 30 years old. His knees are hanging on by a thread....
Note: This blog was originally published on February 23rd. Now with the passing of the Pope, it’s time for CONCLAVE 2025. Currently as we speak, Pope Francis is battling double pneumonia and was hospitalized in a critical state. The 88-year-old needed supplemental oxygen and blood transfusions and was described as having prolonged asthma-like respiratory crisis. So its up and down right now. Now I would never wish ill upon Il Papa, and I dont want to jump the gun here....
That’s a wrap Eastern Conference regular season / Play-In / Round 1 / Round 2. Just bring us Boston vs. Cleveland already. Brutal weekend for the third seed New York Knicks. They played both big brothers in Cleveland on Friday night before Boston on Sunday and got whomped in both. In Thibs' defense, something like this hasn’t happened to the Knicks since way back in 2024. There’s just no chance to make the NBA Finals....
IU Indy - formerly IUPUI - was at NKU yesterday. I know people probably aren’t locked into too much Horizon League ball, but you get Sunday games. I only say this to set the backstory. They were driving home after the game when this happened. This wasn’t a small fire or anything like that, the coach uses the words ‘blew up.’ Yeah, that thing is destroyed. I’ve been on this stretch of highway before....
There was a celebrity charity hockey game last night for the LA Wildfires. 4 teams filled with a bunch of former NHLers and celebrities mixed in. So here we are late in the 2nd period between the black team and red team. The someone was none other than US hockey legend and former LA King, Jeremy Roenick. After Canadians have been mercilessly dunking on USA Hockey the past few days?...
On today’s Pardon My Take… JOHN FANTA! So, what are his thoughts on Coach Pitino’s squad? How far can they go? We got that answer on today’s show. Could we see a repeat of that 2013 Louisville group? The Red Storm have the players, the vibes, and they most certainly have their coach. Ladies and gentlemen… March is coming.
Once you reach this part of the NBA calendar, a few things happen 1. Teams are now taking things seriously/trying every night 2. Perhaps the most important of all, at least in my opinion, is Phil Jackson’s 40/20 benchmark. For those unaware it’s pretty simple. You are not a “true contender” until you win your 40th game before your 20th loss. If you have hopes of winning a title, this is arguably the most important benchmark to hit....
Ovi gets closer to the goal record. The Yankees change their facial hair policy and we pick a new pope based on names alone. Who’s back of the week. We finish with a Monday Reading and remembering Hooters.
Let me be very clear off the top of the blog here. This is a blog for olds. It’s a rewatch podcast with Topanga, Eric and Shawn. Quick sidenote Shawn Hunter had to be a Shawn, can’t be Sean with the role he had. Always thought that, had to get it out there. So they are now in season 6 of the rewatch which means Rachel is in the fold....
