This week Lee and Ray explore the world of sports video game concepts by discussing intriguing teams from the past that could be transformed into video game experiences.
Lee presents a thought-provoking game called "The Swamp Kings," set in the 2000s, featuring the Florida Gators team with Urban Meyer as the head coach, Tim Tebow as the quarterback, and Aaron Hernandez. The game promises a gripping narrative, including appearances by iconic figures like The Rock.
Ray offers two compelling options: the 1985 Chicago Bears, famous for the Super Bowl Shuffle, and the 1980s New York Giants, renowned for Lawrence Taylor's dominance. He also suggests exploring the post-9/11 baseball era or a daring concept titled "The Steroid Era," challenging players to manage their performance-enhancing "juice meter."
The conversation delves into more creative ideas, such as a fighting game featuring the Broad Street Bullies, a Stanley Cup-winning hockey team, with a unique twist involving the Soviet Red Army Team as the final boss.
Join Lee and Ray as they explore these imaginative sports video game concepts, including console recommendations and thoughtful commentary. Share your thoughts on these ideas and let us know which team you'd like to see turned into a video game in the comments below.

This week's episode of Geeks Who Like Sports is by far the biggest one of the season, with a ton to cover on both sides of the conversation.
We start off with a play-by-play of Lee's recent trip to Target where he made an investment specifically for the show.
As we jump into the sports section we discuss the Rangers' World Series victory, some NCAA football with Connor Stalions' resignation and how USC's Caleb Williams has helped bring mental health to the forefront of the conversation this week. We touch on the NFL trade deadline, and Bill Belichick's future in the league. James Harden has landed in Los Angeles and Ray's NY Knicks have already given him a loss since he's been there. We briefly touch on the Sharks who, at the time of recording are 0-10-1, and we'll chat more on them next week as they face Lee's Flyers on the eve of recording. We wrap up the sports side with wrestling as we chat about Ric Flair and Logan Paul.
For the geek segment we discuss our feelings after Loki episode 5, some new Marvel rumors, and our thoughts on the future of Disney+ and other streaming services. We chat about Atari's recent acquisition and SEGA's new super game announcement, and then wrap the show up after discussing The Beatles' new song.
As always thank you for listening, please be sure to share with your friends and give us a review wherever you listen, it helps us out a ton!
This week The Mashup was spawned by the main episode discussion surrounding pro-wrestling and Ghostbusters. We challenged ourselves with a spirited (pun intended) discussion about which pro wrestler from the golden age of wrestling could take down iconic Ghostbusters villains. The twist? We can't use the same wrestler twice.
Listen in to see who we decide should throw on the proton pack and take down some ghosts!
Feeling the Halloween spirit this week, the geeks arrive dressed ready to Believe You and Believe In You in their Ghostbusters and Ted Lasso gear.
We start the show chatting about the World Series and our thoughts on how long the MLB season is now in the expanded playoffs era. Lee and Ray toss around the idea of shortening the regular season to get back to playing the most important games of the year while there's still baseball weather.
Turning to football we talk about injuries and the victories and losses of this past week, and Ray gives us another rant about his Giants' shortcomings after a historically bad game against the Jets. We then dive into some tension between media coverage and sports ethics.
Shifting gears towards the Geek part of our discussion, we set the Geek Commandments of Spoilers before we plunge into an intriguing Loki episode that could potentially introduce the X-Men and Fantastic Four to the MCU. Then, Ray gives his full review of Spider-Man 2, which he has already 100%ed and rates a whopping 9.25 out of 10. (VERY high on the Ray Ratings Chart)
What superhero would have the audacity to ask for their uniform, cape, or superpower to be retired? This week's mash-up was sparked by A-Rod's unretired Yankees number. We sort through DC and Marvel heroes, as well as some characters from Star Wars and other properties who would have the ego to ask for something like this!
Who do you think would have the gall to ask? Comment on our social media to let us know!
This week's episode starts off with the heart-wrenching loss of the Philadelphia Phillies after their first game seven in franchise history, but as we do, we choose to focus on the incredible season they've had rather than their missed World Series berth. We also discuss the upcoming Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks World Series and dissect the heated debate sparked by of Alex Rodriguez's desire to have his number retired by the New York Yankees. We explore the potential implications of a new baseball league in Dubai and how sports leagues' global expansion could lead to more people falling in love with the game. We also share our thoughts on the NBA's new in-season tournament, the current state of the NFC East, and how defensive players in football are overlooked. We celebrate the NHL's decision to reverse their stance on pride tape, allowing players to freely express themselves.
For the geek half of this week's episode Ray shares his initial thoughts on the new Spider-Man video game. Plus, we discuss the third episode of Loki and the intriguing storyline of the series.
What would happen if characters from Marvel, DC, Star Wars, or Harry Potter were to throw the first pitch at a baseball game? Who would throw strikes? Who would cheat with the force? Who wouldn't even be able to reach the plate?? Let us know who you think would make the best (or the worst) choice to throw a first pitch!
Also - We've got GIVEAWAYS! We've got superhero-themed headphones and t-shirts up for grabs, so be sure to tune in to find out how to win!

Ray also gives us a rant now that his Giants' season is basically completely over. We chat about the olympics adding baseball and softball this summer, as well as flag football, and finish the first half by discussing how cool it will be to have Wrestling territories again thanks to N.W.A.
Heading into the Geek discussion we cover Loki episode 2, Best Buy's retreat from selling physical media, and Netflix's strange desire to open a brick and mortar store (RIP Blockbuster). Ray gives a review of Assassin's Creed Mirage and we discuss the Xbox Activision purchase.

We continue our football segment with an analysis of quarterbacks Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, and Anthony Richardson, before we discuss the previous week's match ups, and the absolute mania surrounding the KC Chiefs with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
Our sport section continues with our outlook on the 2023 MLB Playoffs and our thoughts on MLB's domestic abuse policy - don't worry we take a strong stand that we're sure you agree with.
The perfect segue between geek and sport as always is wrestling. We discuss the WWE and Jade Cargill as well as the AEW's recent Edge signing. Lee gives a hot take that the two organizations are in cahoots (let us know if you agree with him).
At the time of recording this episode neither Lee nor Ray have seen the season Finale of Ahsoka (which premiered the same night), but Lee shares some reasons why it has been his favorite Disney+ Star Wars release yet.
Keeping with Disney+, the guys put their foot down about the MCU and say that Loki season 2 needs to be good or else they will both be taking a break from investing time and money in new Marvel shows.
To cap it all off, Ray gives us a detailed outlook of the TWO DOZEN new video games set to release between this show's release and Black Friday 2023. He laments that he needs more time in the day (don't we all), but also gives his expert opinion on which games you should immediately start playing and which you should stay away from.
With football and Star Wars season coming to an end, we've decided to take a hiatus from our week-to-week episodes for the time being.
In this truncated episode 143, we discuss the Super Bowl, Book of Boba Fett, and ask for our mashup, "Which Star Wars Character would make the best NFL referee".

Who's been talking about geek-everything?
It’s been Lee and Ray all along
Who’s angry at their teams’ first string?
It’s been Lee and Ray all along
They’re humorous (Ha, ha!)
So sedulous
Their show takes time and focus
And they're giddy too (They're giddy too)
Gritty, gritty, gritty, gritty
They literally talk about anything
Because this podcast must go on.
Thanks to Lee & Ray (Ha!)
Geeky Lee & Ray
