Episode 180 - 2015 NFL Midseason

We actually recorded this last week, which is why we talk about Denver still being undefeated.

However, we have indeed reached the midway point of the NFL season.  With that, Mike and Tim made their midseason NFL adjustments:

We also touch on some NFL non-LA topics, specifically replacing a preseason week with a regular season game, and regular season games on foreign soil (read: London, Mexico City, and Toronto).

And what do you think of Tottenham (hosting NFL regular season games)?!

Episode 179 - November Potpourri

Less than 24 hours after the Royals win the 2015 World Series, Mike and Tim got together to podcast about that victory, Tim's accompanying safety, and how he came very close to batsu during the Royals' ALDS with Houston.

We then transition from baseball to NFL relocation talks, and Mike's defense of the much maligned Joe Buck (mostly for Buck's defense of St. Louis as a football city).  We briefly talk about the hearings from last week.  For more info, we refer you to our previous episode with Mike's emotional - and strongly worded - review of the hearings.

We also touch on the NCAA proposal to push college basketball season back a month, and the semi-related prostitution scandal at Louisville (which touched Mike's alma mater, UMKC, by virtue of a now-former assistant coach who was involved in said scandal as a player for the Cardinals).

Fair use: We open with Lorde's "Royals" in honor of the aforementioned team's World Series win.

Royals Win World Series - and Tim Wins Safety




30 years after winning their first World Series title, the Kansas City Royals win their second, 4 games to 1 over the New York Mets.

(As I'm typing this, fireworks and loud cheering can be heard from my house.)

And for the second year in a row, Tim correctly predicted the World Series champions.  Therefore, he is SAFE!
