Episode 802: Yo La Grayson Allen

Make Room For Sports ·

2018/04/15

After a brief, unnecessary discussion of Jordan Peterson, we offer the definitive word on Mikal and Simon's trip to the Spurs/Clippers game, what happened to Joel Embiid, why Markelle Fultz is a tragic hero, the Connor McGregor UFC 223 thing, and Kevin Shiflett, America's premier chin balancer. We explain our new feelings about the kiss cam for 2018, which differ from our feelings on it from 2017. Mikal again confronts his Gatorade addiction but misspells his name. Trigger Warning: at the end of

Episode 801 - Tom Brady Interview brought to you by...

Make Room For Sports ·

2018/04/01

The first episode of 2018 in which all four of the MRFS guys manage to show up. And they really regret it. After a few months sabbatical, the sports groove is gone. Too bad since Simon managed to set up an interview with Tom Brady, who talks way too much about Giselle and some other semi-offensive stuff, while the MRFS guys are mysteriously quiet. The episode also features brief commentary on Duke's loss, which can be blamed on Grayson Allen. The guys honor Sports Day, the beginning of the

Make Room For Sports ·

2018/02/02

At America's behest, we preview the big game in all its glory. We enumerate all the major story lines, including why the Eagles are so fun and why the Patriots are the absolute worst. Then Mike fields a bunch of questions about Philadelphia sports history, Mikal premiers a new segment about SUPER BOWL SNACK FACTS, and Dave drops some NBA knowledge right at the buzzer.

Episode 755: He Should Voicemail Get Open

Make Room For Sports ·

2018/01/11

We're back with another hour of the most true sports facts permissible by law, including some thoroughly on-brand stories: Blake Griffin's injury at the hands of JaVale McGee, the Brown's 0-16 parade, the Chiefs second half debacle, and Jon Gruden's catch phrases. PLUS: why do voice's crack, Joel Embiid and Markelle Fultz went to the mall, Weekend at Bernie's theory, Dr. J is OK again, what's up the score 33 in football, Andrew Bogut got released, and Bills and Bengals fans are doing something or

Episode 754: Touching Knees

Make Room For Sports ·

2017/12/23

Simon is out this week getting his braces fixed. As a result, we offer a powerful reading of Kobe Bryant's epistolary masterwork "Dear Basketball," which raises meaningful questions about contemporary poetry, split-screens, socks, kenpark, and, eventually, Jose Canseco. Then Dave reports on the Magic Johnson/Isaiah Thomas friendship summit, updates us on how we should feel about Russell Westbrook, and drops some sincere knowledge about NBA scoring trends and analytics. Mike then floats his

Episode 753: Raise the Daryl Takahasi Clock Cat

Make Room For Sports ·

2017/12/13

We recorded this episode MERE MINUTES after God smote the knee of Carson Wentz, and as result, Mike's emotional state is so compromised that his weird vibe settled on the whole crew, resulting in our most PROBLEMATIC and DEPRESSING episode ever. Simon regales us with his story about the clock malfunction at the Clippers/Wizards game he recently attended, we re-break the news of the time M. Night Shyamalan compelled Bryan Cranston to spank Tony Parker, and bumble through a segment on the Daryl

Episode 752: Phil From Hong Kong

2017/12/06

Our mysterious fan from Hong Kong emerges with a guest spot on today's episode and teaches us about Chinese sports, Canadian sports, Badminton, the Grey Cup, and watching the NFL in China. To our delight, he surprises us with his sports knowledge, shares some childhood details, and talks about brushing his teeth. Simon accidentally stumbles upon an idea for a great movie premise, Mikal is only vaguely problematic once or twice, Demarcus "Boogie" Cousins is mentioned exactly once, and we field a

Episode 751: Team of Virgins

Make Room For Sports ·

2017/11/30

Another week, another epic episode of sports news delivered by the only people left who understand sports. Simon comes out strong as we discuss Eli Manning being euthanized, old school colognes like Drakkar Noir, the flammability of Brut, the sadness of watching the Sixers blow a strong lead, the possibility of Joel Embiid's top-notch shit talking actually being a sign of some deep-seeded insecurity, Mikal hearing a beeping sound no one else hears, TJ McConnell being worth it, what the coach said

Episode 750: Mini Pizza, Arnold Palmer, Grayson Allen

Make Room For Sports ·

2017/11/22

The Sixers swelled and then punctured America's heart in their loss to known ISIS supporters the Golden State Warriors, but that's okay because our despair is zinger-friendly. Mikal gives a Gatorade addiction update, we talk about microphones for some reason, and then, around the halfway point, things heat up: we figure out the LiAngelo Ball thing, Dave provides a few consumer safety reports (it's likely you've consumed glass), and we spend, unbelievably, more than ten minutes distinguishing between

Episode 749: Her Ball, Her Choice

Make Room For Sports ·

2017/11/18

We return to two long-overlooked corners of the show: MIKAL'S DROPS and TOP PLAYS OF THE WEEK. We also blabber about whether the Sixers are too fun, and why Thursday Night Football is dumb, and how popular we were at our friend's wedding. Dave has a story about meeting the Islanders' chef, Simon explains the Keurig coffee controversy, and we still dislike Bill Simmons and Malcolm Gladwell.

Episode 747: Mouth Full of Ants

2017/11/02

We venture deep, deep into the forest of our love for YOU, THE LISTENER, and return with MAXIMUM ZINGERS PER MINUTE about the odds of Colin Kaepernick getting indicted by Robert Mueller, a timely primer on DORF DOES GOLF, and the best NFL theme songs. Because of the particular conditions of our parole, we're obligated to explain what we think football coaches should wear in the rain, but with that business out of the way, we are free to serve PIPING HOT KNOWLEDGE ENTREES to satiate what most hungers

Episode 746: Never Celebrate

Make Room For Sports ·

2017/10/27

Without rhyme or reason, we deliver unto you: a spirited roundtable of World Series talk (it'll be hot, or something); a rough sketch of the Eastern Conference's imminent rise to power, with a special focus on Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo; and more talk than is, strictly speaking, necessary about the following: a yelp review of a supermarket in Couer d'Alene, Idaho; a sad eyes contest between Andre Drummond and Anthony Davis; who knows what about whether or not Markelle Fultz has the yips
