Episode 223 - Tim's Second Farewell

Tim will be leaving the podcast for a while, so we decided to have some fun.

Because of this, Mike needs a new co-host!

If you are interested in becoming a co-host for the podcast, you can easily contact Mike via Facebook or Twitter (direct messaging only, please).

Interested parties must:
(a) live in the Kansas City metropolitan area,
(b) be willing to meet up once or twice a month for recording sessions, and
(c) have a good working knowledge of all sports with special emphasis on: NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, college football, college basketball, UEFA Champions League, and English football (Premier League, English Football League, EFL Cup, FA Cup); other sports are welcome to the discussions as well.

We would like to have a new co-host in time for the 2017 NCAA basketball tournament in mid-March.

One bit of picks to talk about involves Sunday's EFL Cup Final.

Mike's pick: Southampton (because f@#$ Man United)
Tim's pick: Man United

Fair use: Tim brought up Keith Olbermann, so we went back to Keith's time at MSNBC (specifically when Billo tried to get Keith fired in the mid-2000's).  Also, because this is a farewell of sorts, "Somnia Memorias" makes a comeback.

Episode 222 - HOF Review and More LA Nonsense

We're neither Hall of Fame voters nor NFL owners, but we as fans can scrutinize their actions.  And that's exactly what we're doing on today's podcast.

First, the Halls of Fame in Cooperstown and Canton adding new members.

Secondly, as a segue to a certain owner being voted into Canton (who has no business being there, save for riding out of the stadium in a golf cart on his way back to Texas) and his responsibility for the NFL's Los Angeles mess, which now sees two cities screwed out of teams and likely a third, and one team (the Raiders) in logistical limbo.

Fair use: Senor Stan returns.

SB51 goes OT; Pats win; SAFETY!!!

Super Bowl 51 - Atlanta vs. New England - became the first Super Bowl to ever go overtime.

The Dirty Birds dominated in the first half; New England came back to tie it in the second half.

New England went on to win in overtime 34-28.  This is the fifth Super Bowl win (3-way tie with Dallas and San Francisco, 1 shy of Pittsburgh) for the Patriots in their ninth attempt (most SB appearances by a team).  Atlanta is now 0-2 in the Big Dance.

With a New England victory, Mike and Tim are both SAFE!!!

How did those HOF predictions turn out?

First off, Cooperstown (baseball):

Actual class of 2017: Jeff Bagwell, Tim Raines, Ivan Rodriguez

Tim's Prediction: Bagwell, Raines, Vladimir Guerrero

Mike did not make a prediction.

Secondly, Canton (football):

Actual class of 2017: Kurt Warner, Terrell Davis, LaDainian Tomlinson, Jason Taylor, Morten Andersen; Kenny Easley; Jerry F. Jones

Mike's Prediction: Warner, Davis, Isaac Bruce, John Lynch

Tim's Prediction: Warner, Davis, Tony Boselli, Terrell Owens, Don Coryell
