We should all dream to be as Brave as Ed O was to bring multiple girlfriends' kids to LSU practice...Let's review more stupid football coach stuff, quiz Steve on sports teams, talk some evil empire-filled baseball playoffs and review our ever-stellar bets this weekend. 

Talking About Sports

ED O TAIL AND BRAVE HATRID

Brian Kelly. Urban Meyer. Kirk Ferentz. Jon Gruden. Some other guys. Coaches everywhere are saying and doing dumb things off the field of play. And the things they say in reaction to people finding out about those things? even better. Let's review discuss. When we're done, we'll give you FREE picks that have earned you 6 units up on the year for NFL. College has been pretty good too. 

COACHES SAY THE DARNDEST THINGS

HEADLINES. This episode is all about reading sports headlines in humorous ways and breaking them down to what the REAL news is. Coaches writing country songs. waxing athletes. philly coach impersonators. plus, our RED HOT FIRE college and NFL picks. win real money. do it. 

THREE-WAYS AND PRE-PLANNED FLAG PLANTING

Forget Texas and Oklahoma. What if we re-did college realignment in a bunch of (just as) arbitrary ways? By qualify of program. by colors. by brand of fans. We'll start with a brief history of how we got here and Steve and I will pave the way for the future in a way only we can...

COLLEGE FOOTBALL REALIGNMENT

Steve pours over 10 years of NFL data to find trends with teams who lose week 1 or teams that lose both week 1 & 2. You're going to want to sit down for this...(or remain seated). We debate all time losses in history - both ones that were recovered from and ones that weren't. Plus, our picks started out hot. See how we changed the formula to give you more options to win money. it's legal now, so what's holding you back? 

Data Says Your Team Might Be Screwed...

It's time for the NFC and AFC West divisions. From their teams, to their cities, to random fun facts and commentary that is obviously needed. Plus, a few season win total predictions to feed your gambling addiction. 

GOING WEST IS MORE FUN

We cover every (questionable) fun fact of every city in the AFC and NFC South divisions. We'll review their cities qualities or un-qualities, their best players, their hope for winning, and hit you up with random trivia along the way that we bet you didn't know. One of us is drinking during it...can you guess who? sickness can't hold us back from doing what we do best - TALKING ABOUT SPORTS. Here's to the little guys for claiming what's ours!

Jax Cheats, Inventors Steal, Mike Alstott Rules - the NFL SOUTHS edition

This episode is a shrine to Roy Sullivan. The greatest human that's ever lived. His viking-god-like qualities are a tribute to the NFL North divisions, of which we will be discussing after we rail on Afghanistan's shooting team, Italians everywhere, and how Olympic Golf can be improved. Plus predictions and other sports stuff. 

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING 7 TIMES & THE NORTHS

It's the greatest 2 weeks of sports we forgot existed leading into an amazing NFL season. We chat it up about all the Tokyo greatness and then break down each of the NFC and AFC divisions, with perfect comps, fun facts and a few predictions. 

OLYMPICS & NFL EAST DIVISIONS

Dope is ruining America. or at least one of its runners. Let's talk about illicit drugs and sports - the history, the impacts and the humorous parts, obviously. 

ATHLETES & DRUGS

From the most bizarre injuries to sideline a player, to the grittiest performances through an injury to careers ended earlier by injury and - of course - our own personal stories of sports-related injuries and overcoming them (or not in one instance). Here's to everyone who has ever hurt themselves trying to be great!

SPORTS INJURIES

Happy June 9th everybody. It's a great day to talk about sports or at least talk about all the phrases and metaphors in sports that are strangely sexual, if you can't get your mind out of the gutter. 

HAPPY 69 DAY

We honored our prize for winning the bracket challenge among TAS listeners. Ryan Armstrong, known gambling addict/professional, joins the pod to talk about his favorite things - the Jets, the bets and Kellen Clemons. We take a look at the history of Jets quarterbacks and find a way to make it entertaining. Enjoy the sports convo about football while we wait for more football again...

Gambling Stories, J-E-T-S and Madness w/ Special Guest: Ryan Armstrong

This March has been madder than scurvy. Learn about dodo birds, which is what anyone who had Oral Roberts in the sweet 16 is. Only someone extinct would pick the 3rd most influential christian school in this tournament (2nd greatest dentist). Will sister jean outlive the queen? We celebrate a year in sports going away and then coming back, along with J-roll's cheesesteak location preferences. 

SCURVY MADNESS & STRIP CLUB STEAKS

We all have heard them. we make them. sports phrases, idioms, catch phrases, metaphors, analogies - in the work environment, pretending they fit perfectly for business and bonding with co-workers. We break down the most used ones, where they came from, what they actually mean and how they can be mis-used. 

Sports Analogies at Work

Talking About Sports podcast is hosted by a pair of Penn Staters who hail from opposite sides of PA. Each week is a battle of wit, knowledge, and hilarity. It's the right amount of sports passion and humor for any sports fan. A comedian with a gambling problem rants about sports alongside an actuary with a drinking problem. What could go wrong?
