To The Max Sports: Recent Episodes
Flying Whippet Productions
To the Max Sports is a weekly sports show where we do on camera what we all do in the bar - talk and argue about sports. Whether its the current state of College Football, or why Tom Brady may be the greatest ever, we've got you covered.
For a second there we thought Drew might pick the Giants to win the Superbowl. The odds on that are crazy long. We all agree on the best division in football, unlike last year, and we put our superbowl stakes in the ground.
Our NFL Draft Guy, Carlos, joins us as we get ready for some football. But first we have a quick discussion about the Olympics and some of the controversy surrounding the boxing side. We also wrap up talking about the Cowboys and their issues. Bob lays down two bets for Drew.
Middle of the summer news cycle with nothing of anything really happening. So we talk about some athlete ranking, and Drew really wants you off his lawn. Should we let a rookie pitcher throw 100 mph for a full 9 innings in the quest for a no-hitter in a regular season game prior to the All Star Break and damn, what about those uniforms.
Spurs load up in the draft and in Free Agency. We talk about some other news in the NBA and other sports. A lazy day for sports news.
Just like everyone else in sports analysis this week we wade in on the Caitlin Clark 'situation' and give our thoughts. Then we talk gambling. And we make our NBA Finals picks. Agree with us?
Mr. Ed, err, Mystic Dan calls us and we have a conversation about the Preakness and then we wax poetic about the Spurs and their draft prospects.
We look back at the draft that was, make fun of some questionable decisions, notice apostrophe marks and talk with Carlos about what the future looks like for these draftees. For one of them, it is Social Security before some of us.
Carlos, our draft whisperer, joins us to break down the first round of the draft. Bob makes a bad political joke and drops some truth on Cowboys fans. Well he does that always. Its a quarterback heavy draft but when isn't it.
We just got word that OJ SImpson has lost his battle with cancer. Everyone of a certain age remembers the white Bronco, so we talk about it. We talk some college womens ball, with someone getting Alabama and South Carolina confused.
We were down some video gear this week so it will look a little different. Sorries.
With our proprietary algorithm, which consisted of properly weighted darts and a well placed board to throw them at, our brackets outperformed. We hit 14 out of the 16 teams in the sweet 16. We aren't perfect, but then no one is on the Men's side. We then tackle some sports betting questions and get ready for baseball, sort of. Long live March Madness!!
We applied our highly proprietary SWAG-arrific alogrithm to the brackets and spent hours and hours of research and we came up with some hidden upsets which if they come out, we will look like geniuses.
We go over our thoughts on the Super Bowl including a quick run down of the Taylor Swift Prop Bets. Shock, we split on our picks, but you have to listen to know which way Drew went.
Well, Bob's 49ers squeak by the Packers and Jason Kelce gets yelled at by his wife. Oh yeah, Drew has a conspiracy theory about how the Superbowl match-up has already been decided.
Man, what an epic collapse by the Cowboys? What can be done about the culture in that place. Also, the Eagles collapse entirely. Wildcard weekend was wild.
Ok. We have no inside information, no inside source. But why would you stay at Michigan. You achieved the Championship. Go back to the NFL And get that Superbowl ring. In all seriousness, congrats to Michigan. And Congrats to Bob for going over 500 for the season. And now on to ... the playoffs, as its not Cincinnati and perhaps Bill wears a different hoodie next year.
Yep, its the end of the year. The College Football Championship is finally here. We go in totally different different directions on our picks. Bob brings up a story about China and someone losing their championship and possibly bowel control. Oh, yeah, our NFL Picks, too.
Here are the picks for the week:

Lions at Cowboys (-5)
Drew - Lions
Bob - Cowboys
Packers at Vikings (-2)
Drew - Vikings
Bob - Packers
49ers (-13) at Commanders
Drew - 49ers
Bob - 49ers
Ok, we are just assuming Slimey was connected to the Mob. Makes it funnier that way. But after a dispute over a pizzeria appearance, Tommy Devito is seeking new representation and did a solid for them. Good job you.
Cowboys underperformed horribly, but damn, we killed our picks. We went 4-1 against the spread. So, who ya gonna call?
Seems Bill has been making some questionable personnel decisions. One of those was what he gave Gilmore away for to the Cowboys. Was this one of the nails in the coffin that looks like it will be the end of Bills coaching tenure at New England.
We go around the NFL as little and put in our picks for the week and briefly touch on Draymond Green.
Here are the picks for the week:
Chargers at Raiders (-3)
Drew - Raiders
Bob - Raiders

49ers (-12.5) @ Cardinals
Drew - Cardinals
Bob - 49ers
Ok, we missed the Thursday night game. But so did the rest of the world. But we get a Monday double header. Bob surged ahead with his picks.
Drew gives some free advice to Joey Merlino, celebrity from Philly. Joey, give us a call, we can help your picks. We promise.
Here are the picks from this week:
Seattle @ 49ers (-11)
Bob - 49ers
Eagles at Cowboys (-3 1/2)
Drew - Eagles
Bob - Cowboys
Titans at Dolphins (-13)
Drew = Dolphins
Bob - Dolphins
Packers(-6 1/2) at Giants
Drew - Giants
Bob - Packers
We had some scheduling tightness but we got together to put down our thoughts for picks this week.
Drew goes firmly out on a limb and says the Chiefs will be in the Super Bowl, but only because Goodell and the NFL Front Office wants it.
We make lots of picks as its Turkey Day and reasons.
Then we turn our attention to the fun in the Big Ten and discuss our thoughts as to how the game turns out ad the possible fallout.
We continue our slow decline into an average prognostication abilities. Bob goes 2-3 as the 49ers seem to bounce back. Drew’s Bengals kinda look pedestrian at the bottom of the AFC North, which is the toughest division in football. We go around the horn with some injury updates and we stumble around naming the Cy Young winners.
We have a disagreement about the hype surrounding Wembanyama. Drew is measuring him for his hall of fame jacket already. Bob is a bit more measured. We both go 1-3 and are looking for some bounceback this week. Follow our picks.
So Drew brings One Eyed Jack to the show and he lets the doll pick games for us. Bob continues to pick at an average pace.
We get a visit from our resident Dinosaur who doesn't pick games well and Bob nails the trivia.
We talk about some of the baseball news after Bob takes a bath on the 49ers from the previous week. Drew consoles little and says the loss will not matter in the end. Talk some other news around the league and then we get into the wild Texas baseball landscape. Then we get into our picks for the coming week and the landscape for prime time games this week really kind of suck.
Well, it looks like someone didn't hit the publish button so listen to this episode at your risk.
Well, Bob is killing it on the picks. If you are rolling with Bob, you are 12-2. Drew, not so much. We talk some preview of the weekend, with Drew trying to temper some of Bob’s excitement over the Cowboys-49ers Game. Then we talk some other games, and we both nail trivia. Another week here as the temps get cooler and Bob’s fictional betting account gets bigger.
What an interesting weekend, A great weekend if you were a Miami fan, but not for the Cowboys. Sorry Coach Sanders, was a bad week for you too. We do look at some video that we weren't able to download and embed the video this week, so sorry, folks.
Well, Bengals go 0-2, so Drew is a little sad. 49ers are 2-0 and Bob is happy, except for that last minute "what are you thinking McVay" field goal. Carlos our NFL expert friend drops in to help us out on picking the prime time games. And speaking of Prime, we praise his coaching, even though their next game looks tough.
NFL Week 1 is in the books and we went 3-0, and Drew gives an extra win to Bob for picking the Lions outright. Then we go over what happened in Week 1, with Drew being sad about the Bengals and Bob dissing on the Cowboys win little. Then we hit some picks for Week 2 and pick 4 games (doubleheader on Monday night). Let’s see if we make you money in Week 2.
We do a full dive down on what we think of the divisions and we immediately argue about the toughest division in Football. We all put the 49ers in the Superbowl, so Bob is happy.Then we do our weekly prime time picks, and no, we didn't talk about Coach Sanders, which will probably get a rant about how we are denying him his time in the spotlight.Can you outpick us?
Dallas trades for Jonath…. WTF, TREY LANCE!!!! So we talk about that. A lot. Drew takes on Spain and the kiss, or El Beso. Then we knock it out of the park on trivia.
We talk some Cowboys news, well, a little too much. Sorry, Dak. We then transition to some baseball news. Ohtani gets shut down and other news.
Ed joins the show again and we have a far ranging discussion that involves crabs, vomit, fishing, cowboys and a disgruntled former Ole Miss star.
Reports are out that Phil Mickelson wagered over a billion dollars over ten years or so, and wants dto bet on the Ryder Cup. So yeah. Fights breaking out on the base path, and umpires trying to steal the show in baseball. Don’t forget the coaches.
And aliens, and other things, like stories from his youth when a salt pill was all you got at football practice. We talk some crazy MLB trades and make fun of a few coaches out there. Go find Strange Knights on your favorite podcast app and subscribe to his show. He's a hoot.
Well, Barkley signs, we talk alittle USWNT soccer and a few other things. Herbert gets PAID, and some other NFL doings. We then meander for a bit down some political/medical discussions.
The summer is a lull in the action. NFL camps are barely starting, NBA FA is just background noise. MLB is out of the All-Star Break but we aren't in the playoff chase yet. So we take aim at the RB market in the NFL and Bob calls out the RBs as whiners who don't understand the current market that is driving their value, or they think they are that exception. Exceptions are rare, chances are you are not one of them, dude.
After two summer league games, Victor will get some time to rest and prepare for the real NBA season. This was the best decision, we think. What do you think? We talk little about other NBA musings and then turn to the All-Star Break. We finish with Trivia and we go 2-2. So Yeah Us!!!
Drew is heading to Florida, so we record some pre-draft speculation and discuss some possible moves for the Spurs as we are ready to pick the Alien. Yes, he is an alien, according to LeBron. We talk alittle other stuff and wrap up with horrible trivia.
We talk some NBA finals after we delve a little into some politics. Yeah, we know. We talk about the Spurs next chapter and the French Hope. We are all excited are you?
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition, and nobody expected a merge, yes a MERGER, between the big bad LIV and the PGA. But then money came into it and throw morals and your stance out the window. We talk some about Ja (sorry, Adam Silver) and then we do a short recap on the NBA Finals and Lord Stanley's Cup. Then we continue to suck at trivia. We should be better, but we are not.
We are in a limbo as we come down from a Game 7 collapse of the Celtics and haven’t had game 1 of the finals yet, so we talk about, what else, auto racing. Drew and Bob go real deep on the Indy 500 and for those who are still listening, et thank you.
Now that we have secured the bestest lottery pick, and we all know who we are going to pick, what does that mean for us. We bring in our family Taylor who is pretty hot on this pick and excited. Bob throws some water on the Victor party and we talk who we want around Victor to set us up for success. Bring on an era of unbridle optimism. Sorry, Tony.
Of course, they will lose in the Wildcard Round at home, but they will win the NFC East. NFL Front Office gave a metaphorical middle finger to A-a-ron. Welcome to the AFC, Mr. Rodgers, hope you like the neighborhood
Another podcast host joins us to do a deep dive into the draft and man he knows so much more than us. He goes real deep with analysis on each round and team and player. Bob felt dumb.
Well, the world is a better place when men and women can brawl equally. Yes, women fights are a thing. Then we talk some NFL Draft and Bob and Drew disagree on Bryce Young. Bob is sorry he used the p-word to describe Mr. Young.
George "The Iceman" Gervin joins us in the studio. Drew takes him on a walk down memory lane. George was a great player, A GREAT PLAYER, but he is a much better man. He has given of himself, his time and talents to helping the youth of San Antonio. He won scoring titles in the NBA, but he outscored all of that with what he has done since. Thank you, sir.
Well, we took an impromptu week off and man did stuff happen. NCAA brackets are in tatters, hopes are dashed, but the world is ok, as Lamar Jackson and Aaron Rodgers still dominate the airwaves. We talk some initial baseball thoughts and our hopes on the new rules. Then we end with some trivia. We went a little long, but for a slow news week we had a bunch to say.
Ok, March Madness is upon us. You can find out brackets on our YouTube Channel at 14:00 (Drew), 14:40 (Max) and 15:20 (Bob). We also talk a bit before we get to the brackets about Free Agency and the sort of breaking news that Aaron Rodgers is still the center of our universe.
So, Max has a flat tire. Well, by the time you read this, we think it might be fixed. So we go Max less. Drew goes over his impressions from the NFL Combine, or as Bob likes to call it, The Underwear Olympics.
Wow, did we go through alot of real estate. We start talking about boxing,. Yep, boxing. And then we meander into draft speculation, small quarterbacks and running back replaceability. We end talking about why baseball has an attendance problem and is it really the length of the game, or other things.
Randy Hepner, Campus Field Ministry Director for Athletes in action (https://athletesinaction.org) joins the show. Randy and Drew go way back so they reconnect a little and Randy talks about their ministry work with young athletes. Then we talk some XFL, and we still don't care about Aaron Rodgers
This is always a weird time of the year. Superbowl is over, basketball is slowly moving towards MArch Madness and then NBA playoffs, but it feels like a let down. So the football gods give us the XFL. We talk the Superbowl, how we think the last four will fare next year.
Ok, Maybe it was really Brooklyn. We spend alot of time going over the big game. Bob apparently has a whole bunch of inner hatred towards the Eagles. Max and Drew go with the Eagles to win, though. Interesting matchups all the way around. And then we talk about the silly prop bets that we all laugh at. What is green Gatorade anyway?
We over react to the conference championships and go blow by blow like every fan of an NFL team, and hyper analyze too many small things. Then we go over board on our emotional statements, and we might be wrong, but we are probably right.
Of course we talk about how the Cowboys didn't show their best side. Man, another season, another debacle at the end. And then the Bengals seem to get no disrespect. Of course Bob goes with the 49ers, but Max and Drew go with the Eagles. And then they both go with the Bengals, but Bob goes with the Chiefs.
Well, the Cowboys certainly bounced back from a humiliating showing at the Commanders and heaped all that humiliation on their place kicker. We go through the Divisional Round and then we get to the most storied NFC Playoff Rivalry. We all agree that the 49ers win the game, but only Bob thinks the Niners cover the spread. By the way, anyone looking for a 62 year old kicker, I hear someone named Anderson is being shopped around.
Wow, what happened with the ‘Boys this past weekend? And man, Georgia is darn good. Sorry TCU, you really outperformed all expectations but Georgia is that good. We do revisit the Slap League quickly and then we walk through the entire Wildcard round with our thoughts on the games. Go Purdy!!!
Wow, what a first week in 2023 for sports. Damar Hamlin suffered a major cardiac event in a Monday Night game and we all paused. He has since regained consciousness and is talking with his family and team mates. His first words after regaining consciousness... "Did We Win?".
We spend some time talking about what the playoff picture looks like for the Cowboys. And then we talk a little adjacent to cancel culture and how quick we are to judge, as we discuss Chris Beard and USMNT Coach Berhalter. Oh yeah, the purveyor of the Power Slap League slaps his wife (after she first slapped him, though) and we were surprised?
It's a new year, but we are the same. Yep, we suck at trivia, still.
We talk some Cowboys after last night's game, and then we digress into a discussion of next steps for the GOAT. We finish up doing picks and talking CFP Semis.
We talk NFL, Cowboys collapse, and a few other things as we roll into the holiday season.
Drew is on a bit of a vacation, so James joins us to regale us with Eagles dominance ahead of an NFC showdown on Christmas Eve Day. Max defends his Cowboys and Bob sits back and enjoys his new rookie, Brock. Then we do some NFL picks, with Drew calling in from Florida.
Well, all the debate can be over, unless you are Alabama. The 4 CFP teams are set. Sorry, USC, you had one job. TCU loses but still gets in. Bob and Drew agree that TCA and OSU may be nothing more than fodder.
We talk some football, with the 49ers moving on to Mr. Irrelevant, Brock Purdy. But it may be the one team that can still win at a high level with their QB3.
If you bet with us this past weekend, you were making money. But if you have a problem, please consult a professional. :-)
We talk the CFP playoff situation, and maybe OSU still gets in? Rose Bowl finally takes the offering and we get a 12 team playoff in 2024. YEAH.
Then Trivia trucks us.
We sit down for a special episode. Well, it's our regular episode, which we had to record a few days early because of our national gorge-fest. You eat your Turkey, we got your picks, both for this weekend, err. Holiday, and for the NFC playoffs.
In all seriousness, thank you for listening, and watching. We are very thankful to you for providing some headspace for us to worm into.
Drew visited a bar on a Sunday and watched ALL the games. He had some thoughts on them. Max drops some thoughts on his Cowboys and then we talk about the going rate for a "session" with Flightline. Great life for that young man ... errr .... horse.
We start talking about the current state of the Spurs. Maybe they are fun to watch and they will lose. Drew almost pronounces Victor's name correctly. We watch some Houston fans embarrass themselves during the World Series Celebration. Then we talk about TCU and their fourth ranking and whether it will last. We pick NFL games again and then we end with trivia.
We talk some CFP standings. Why do they do this to us, or are they just giving us stuff to talk about. We touch upon Josh Primo's release and then we pick NFL games. Drew is pulling ahead.
Drew wants more baseball and goes all in on "get off my lawn" with the Dodgers getting knocked out in a best of 5. We then go deep into the inner squabbles ... err ... workings of the elite billionaire's club of NLF owners.
Bob and Max went 2-1 last week, and if you are rolling with us, you are making money.
We review the sacks that got called poorly. Brady gets lightly put to bed and its roughing. Carr gets strip sacked and its roughing. Have we taken this just a bit far. We roll through the prime time games again, and we take on the week of NCAA Football as well. What a weekend of College Football ahead of us, though Bob brings out the hate train on the Pac 12. We are sorry!
Fan gets on field for his super public gender reveal and gets body slammed by Wagner. Fan was faster than security but not faster than Wagner. It's a girl, by the way. MLB Playoffs in the expanded era are upon us and we make our picks. We pick some NFL games and are doing ok, but slacking off from week 1. And we absolutely suck at trivia.
Drew leads us off on a segment where he vents his anger at the kickoff in the NFL. We go around the NFL and talk about what happened this past weekend and then we prognosticate into the next weekend.
If you want to check us out on the web, here is our current URL. We are working on a better one, but come and check us out:
https://to-the-max-sports.onpodium.com/
Max comes back and we are at full strength. We talk some fun around the NFL, bad defense, crazy thoughts and the like. In this week's segment on fights in stands, we see Auburn fans go a bit mad, beer spilled on highway, and a horse in a Walmart. Then we lay down our primetime NFL predictions
What a great Week 1 for the NFL fans out there. Well, unless you are a Cowboys fan, or a Bengals fan, or a 49ers fan, or a Broncos fan. We are all thankful that the NFL is back. We watch some fights in the stands, and talk about our picks for this week and Bob revels in his 3-0 record.
France Tiafoe stuns at the US Open. And then we watch a man steal a ball from a kid waiting patiently for a warm up ball from an outfielder. He was wearing a Soto jersey, so maybe he was grieving....but c'mon man, what are we even doing here, man. And then we pick the prime time games. We agree on two but differ on the Broncos/Seahawks.
Zach is back and we talk some fighting in the stands of a baseball game. We are equal opportunity here, so this week it is the women fighting. We then turn our attention to the NFC East and North. Drew picks the Cowboys to win the division and Bob picks them to miss the playoffs.
We revisit Basebrawls and this week we travel to Chicago to see a fan plummet several rows and pop up like nothing happened. Sad, sad, sad. Terrell Owens runs faster than any 48 year old should, and we discuss the PGA's full response to LIV, and we think its actually pretty good.
We watch some fights in the stands and rate them, and then we discuss probably the best sportsmanship display in baseball all this year. We play trivia and Brother Bob wins... FINALLY
We fire off a quick episode to get our mojo back and work out a few kinks we developed during the summer hiatus. We come back with a bang, talk about Vin Scully, MLB Trade Deadline moves and then some LIV Golf.
We did a quick hiatus show. Well not that quick of a show as we rambled through NBA Finals, Draymond and Technicals, and outlook for the rest of the series. We segue to Deshaun Watson and 66 massage therapists. How much money would you ask for to play for the Saudi Arabian Wealth Fund.
We start off talking NBA Finals, with Zach going with the Celtics in 7, Drew the Warriors in 7 and Bob, being the outlier, picks the Warriors in 5. He's an Idiot, apparently, or a genius. We break down why we think our pick is right. Then we turn our attention to the Belmont and discuss Horse Psychology 101. Bob gets some NHL Playoffs in, while we get some insider video of the SEC coach's meeting. This is our last show of Season 2 and we will do some compilation and special videos the next few weeks. We will be back in July for NFL/College warm-ups. Peace out!!
So, the NFL is discussing ditching the actual Pro Bowl game. We have a few alternatives to discuss - Lingerie Football?. We dissect alittle of the Miami-Boston championship series and our guest host, Zach, picks Miami. We all agree on the Warriors completing the win, and being our consensus pick to win the Finals. Oh yeah, SEC on SEC violence between Jimbo and Nick. Oh My.
Our normal team is out this week so we get a stuffed animal on a dinosaur. We touch on a few NBA things, Bob lays down his prediction for the NBA Finals, and Timmy tries to lay a bet on Epicenter, but then disregards Canada's favorite sport ... Hockey!!!
We argue about the physicality of the NBA after we talk about some physical discipline at the Kentucky Derby. Then we run down the conference semis with Taylor. We play our game and the questions get longer while out attention span gets shorter.
We go over our thoughts on this years draft. Drew picks the Jets as a winner in this year's draft, and Brother Bob says that will be the only thing they win. And then we argue about Jimmy G's chin...errr, marketability. Touching a little on the NBA Playoffs and a shout out to Eastern Machine, Ovechkin of the Capitals. And then we end with some trivia.
First round of NBA playoffs near an end. The Nets get swept and we lay down some truth about Kyrie. Tiger asks for a pre-nup? And we debate Ric Flair's college bombshell.
Jeff tells us about his summer (spring) vacation trip to Augusta and the Masters. He didn't bring us gnomes! We go deep into the first round of the NBA Playoffs. Bob takes a potshot at players who let down their team mates. Drew takes us on a look into the NL East and adoptts the Phillies as the team from Cincinnati has let him down. We wrap up with some quick NFL talk (next week we get ready for the draft)
Taylor and Mike stand in and talk some NBA Playoffs, and play-in games. Then one of our guests disses on Scottie Scheffler, who just won the Masters. Then we play a game where we try to answer intelligent questions about the rules of the games we so dearly watch. Oh, and then we talk some perfect games in MLB and history (going back to 1880).
First off, sorry folks. Apparently the upload gremlins caught us last week so our podcast didn't drop last week. We are back this week.
Kansas comes back and we tip our hats to Hubert Davis. UNC-Duke was epic and the championship was not a let down. Thank you college basketball.
We go deep into the Masters and we are hoping for a Tiger Roar this weekend, just like the broadcaster.
And MLB is back, with electronic signaling and some other changes. Can baseball be relevant again? And fun?
Those of you with chalk in your bracket are mostly still alive. Our brackets are toast, though. Drew has UCLA still alive and Brother Bob has Texas Tech. We will See.
What about the recent NFL trades? Watson to the Browns and makes a measly $1M in his first season.
And since Jeff was not with us tonite, Bob got to talk some. Formula 1. Yep, he did it.
As we get ready for the NCAA Tournament Brackets ... Wait... Who Unretired. Oh, crap, there goes the show we had planned. Yep, TB12 is back with the Bucs and the fan who paid $518k for his last TD is now holding on to a very nice slightly used NFL Regulation football.
We do finally talk our basketball Brackets. Bob goes all in on Jeff's belief in Texas Tech and Drew goes all in on UCLA. Our brackets are posted in the comments on our YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCas482ntcReLaDVZ0a9wkw
Well, proving that the NFL can rule the news cycle yet again, we talk about QBs moving around, Russell Wilson being the third best quarter back in his division, Rodgers finally inking a deal, and Goodell manipulating the news cycle so we all forget about the Ridley suspension. And then we get excited about March Madness. And Brother Bob goes deep on F1, which we stop after a few seconds.
The NBA is heating up, and we discuss two of our biggest disappointments this season, Lakers and the Nets. Then we bow down to Ja Morant and the posterizing he did. Oh yea, the Heat are longer odds to win the NBA Championship than the Nets. WHAT?!?. Baseball strike is still making us sad, and college basketball is down to the wire.
Oh yeah, we are working on a special guest which Drew Teases us with and we attempt to guess. It Is not Michael Jordan.
Okay, we take on the NBA All Star "Game" and give Adam Silver some ways to fix what's wrong. When we get done with that, lets talk some Juwan Howard and handshake lines. Oh yeah, and then we get really depressed and try to solve all of baseball's problems. Commissioner Manfred, we hope you are listening.
We give our impressions of the Superbowl and start to deal with the angst of no NFL for a while. Drew and Jeff diss on some officiating and Brother Bob bows down before the wunderkind of Sean McVay. Then we turn our attention to the NBA, where Jeff throws down a Post-Doc dissertation. Oh yeah and then there's that MLB labor discussion.
We break down each phase of the SuperBowl coming up and analyze where the advantages are for each and maybe even make sense. Then we make your Prop Bets for you. Take Heads on the Toss.
Wow. The week after conference championship games should have been light on news. The games were great and that would have been enough, but then the news gods honored us with more. Washington takes a new name, and they should have listened to the 21 year old intern in the corner. C'mon man. Tom Brady finally heads off into his Avocado-tinted sunset. And, there was a little lawsuit filed by a former (and future, deservedly future) head coach this week. Oh my, the places we will go.
Ok, We each went 3-1 this weekend. Drew missed on the Rams, and Brother Bob missed on the Chiefs. 3-1 is stout. So let's see what happens this weekend.
This weekend's NFL games were EPIC folks. Go watch the highlights. If you are a Packer fan, maybe something to relax you first, though. If you are a Bills fan, take all the coins in your sock drawer and through them out.
We all know that the NFL rules the roost, and we are no different. So we recap our thoughts from the Wildcard Weekend. Sorry, Super Wildcard Weekend. And then we take our hand on picking the slate of Divisional Games.
We do touch a little on the MBL Lockout and where we think it may go and that we are now worried.
Yep, we had it folks. Back in early September we called Georgia, and we have proof. Maybe next year we will put money on it. What a great CFP Championship. Talking about great, how about the last week of the NFL. What craziness, including a potential lie down tie for a playoff berth. And we talk about the upcoming games. Let's see how we do.
Jeff hates college football. Yes, he said it. But listen first and tell me you don't agree with him.
We do a quick watch of one of Bob's favorite YouTube channels, SEC shorts, as Georgia tries to get some help on beating Alabama.
Antonio Brown has a meltdown and we disagree whether we will see him again lace up his clears.
We are on a new time, so reset your calendar if you want to watch us live. And check in with us on YouTube and we might have you on the show.
We pay tribute to a legend in football. From coaching to broadcast to video games, John Madden was a legend. He will be missed.
Then we get into a heated discussion about the CFP. We pick Alabama to crush Cincinnati and cover the spread. And then we have some disagreement about Michigan-Georgia.
And then we talk a little about the NFL.
We welcome Jeff Vexler to the studio and things get a bit more spicy.
-
Brother Bob hates on College Bowl season
-
We talk some Urban Meyer silliness in Jacksonville
-
NBA Trade Rumors
We start by talking the Thursday night NFL game but then take up the CFP rankings talk. and show Cincinnati some respect. What would have happened with a 12 team playoff? Happy Birthday, Mr. Larry Bird. What is with all the changing in the college football coach's ranks. And then we conclude with a monkey, an exotic dance and a special teams coach. We see you Texas.
This week we spend a bunch of time talking about the crazy college coaching carousel. Riley gets a private jet, Kelly gets a chance at a championship and Bob Stoops is back? Oh My?!!!
We talk a little about the first work stoppage / lockout in baseball since the mid 90'2, even as owners spend over a BILLION dollars on free agents.
This week on To The Max

- Round the horn with Baseball news and big deals
