FP and Joe are in the studio (late this week) to talk about a whole bunch of stuff. The #Capitals were eliminated (Go Florida!), the NBA playoffs are enjoyable and the Pacers are literally making history over and over again, the Finals matchups work with a bunch of different combinations depending on your preferred flavor of basketball.. The world said goodbye to Around the Horn after nearly 5000 episodes… this show meant so much to all of us and is largely why sports podcasts are what they are today… 23 years is a wild run! The boys talk a little baseball too and review two classics for OMC; the Cable Guy and the Hangover II. Subscribe and enjoy!

The boys are suffering through a strong “DC CURSE” week and it shows on their faces and in their voices. The #Capitals are on the brink of elimination, the #Wizards had a chance to rebuild fast but now can’t, the #Nationals can’t seem to win back to back games, and the Commanders have a billion primetime games… we know how that goes… just a tough tough week for DC sports fans. Plus the OMC revisits Blades of Glory for movie club.

The boys have a plethora of topics to discuss on the show this week including the big big news that required one commissioner, one owner, one mayor, and a PRESIDENT to announce! Capitals stumble vs ‘Canes in game one but only Joe is panicked… FP says carry-on and do NOT freak out! … Why is the NBA regular season and the NBA playoffs two different sports? … the NBA playoffs are getting good with parity and upsets nightly! … Justin Tucker cut by Ravens, Cowboys pickup a WR to help Dak and the OMC review cult favorite Pineapple Express.

Oh many what a week in DC! The Commanders got a deal done with DC to redevelop RFK and the renders look amazing! The NFL draft came and went with so many compelling storylines and “villain” arcs being created, and locally the team did a mediocre/great job… depending on whom you ask! The NBA Draft lottery is a week away, the Nationals don’t stink, and the CAPS are trying their best to not-screw-things-up! Plus the boys watched the Accountant for OMC! What a week, what a show!

There is a trio in the studio discussing the NHL and NBA playoffs after a spirited “holiday” debate. Turns out Joe was so annoyed with WrestleMania he demanded the cast not discuss it, meanwhile Andy and FP defend the Capitals squandering a two goal lead as “business as usual”… BUT still expect them to win and win big in game two and beyond. Finally, OMC breaks down 2010’s Sinners and Saints… it was Joe’s pick… many many spoilers ahead!

Oh boy, the local football team is on a heater! The #Commanders win their 3rd in a row in convincing fashion and even the most stubborn must admit #JD5 is impressive. The Eagles lost to the Bucs, the Vikings keep rolling, the Bengals finally get a win. Plus, the MLB playoffs are here… it’s officially the start of the BEST time of the sports year!

The boys are chopping it up after a huge primetime win for the Commanders on Monday night. Would you take Jayden or the field of QBs drafted this year to end with the best career? Changes in the Top5 and Low5 looking around the league and the P.Diddy news cycle will not stop and has the potential to take down factions of the Hollywood elite.

FP and Joe power through technical difficulties (sorry about the audio) to deliver a week one victory on the podcast. Commanders lost and while Joe is in a full blown panic, FP is exercising caution while acknowledging a week two loss would bring wrath from even the most positive Commanders fans. The 49ers, Lions, Texans, Chiefs, and Cowboys looked great to start the season, the Patriots and Bears came away with surprise wins, and the Dolphins and Bills are locked in for a big game in week two. Welcome back football. Welcome back show!

Oh boy… FP, Stevie, and Joe decided to fire up the mics and hit record and boy oh boy is everyone in for a treat.

Join us! #HTTR

Pardon the Dust (and rust) but FP and Joe are back in the studio after a long, long, long break… new music is on the way, summer recaps, and a lot of Commanders talk. Plus, why nobody cares about fantasy football anymore, what are you snaking on when watching TV, and what’s coming up next on this season of the podcast. Summer is over. Welcome back. Welcome football!

Oh man… there is nothing like the offseason in Washington DC. Why does anyone cheer for the Commanders? Our former HC is now a talking head on ESPN and just in case you had interest in maybe the Capitals or Wizards both are not doing so well these days… Caps making trades while the Wiz lost 16 straight before an “upset” win vs the Hornets. Plus, why would you ever get in the ring with Mike Tyson? Mike might legit put a gap in Jake’s chest if this fight ever happens!
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-gbv83-158090f
How did the 49ers lose the big one? Chiefs started slow but ended perfectly and any discussion about best coach or QB of all time must include the current duo in KC. Looking forward the Commanders keep hiring coaches and the Marty’s are still employed while in Florida… pitchers and catchers have officially reported!
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-xgq2d-1572d36
The boys are locked and loaded ready to discuss all the events surrounding the Commanders from the past week. New head coach, new OC, new DC and they seem “locked in” to do some hard work together. Razzle and Stevie have some interesting prop bets and FP is already mixing the super bowl kool-aid for next season!
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-6pspk-1567db8
Ben Johnson made it official while the Commanders were in route to interview him that he will not be leaving Detroit and similarly Slowik agreed to an extension to stay with the Texans meaning the Commanders may pull out a play from the old playbook we like to call the “Zorn”… Is this an early “L” for the new ownership? + Should the Ravens consider trading Lamar and Dan Campbell thoughts from the boys. If you had to pick one celebrity to see fifty times a game do you want to see Taylor or Marshall ? The Nationals are getting new uniforms, the Orioles just sold AND will we see a 100pt game in the NBA?

Divisional Playoff Weekend may be the better than opening weekend in the NFL and watching Pat Mahomes on the field is tough when there is so much Chiefs off the field nonsense that is part of the package. The Ravens rolled, the 49ers survived, and the Lions are on a heater! Closer to home, in DC, the team is considering a QB at 2 (NO!!!!), the Eagles are flirting with Ron, and Joel Embiid went for 70pts on the anniversary of Kobe’s 81 pt performance. + Would you chop a $9m pot with 12 others?
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-pqmse-14a4a06 So much to recap after week one of the 2023 NFL season. The Commanders started off with a win but they left us asking so.many.questions! Rodgers is likely done, might the Jets trade for Jacoby? or Heinicke? Philips? Ryan? … who knows but they are toast.

Eric Beinemy has been hired as Ron’s Assistant Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator. Join LP and FP as they react to the hire. Could it be anything other than an A+? Given all the names rumored it was absolutely the best case scenario. Why would EB want to come to DC? Could it be a really good shot? And work under a coach who is similar to Andy Reid? What about the other QBs this offseason, where are they going to go? Daniel Jones, Derek Carr, Aaron Rodgers, Zach Wilson all discussed with a little bit of XFL in there too. The beer snake is awesome!
