Average Guys' Sports Takes

What is going on with the players and media for the WNBA hating on Caitlin Clark? She is getting hard off ball fouls and hard screens. Basically getting beat up and hazed in a sense. Her teammates are not coming to her rescue. We talk all about that situation that is only getting worse. The NBA Finals are here! Mavs versus Celtics. Who will win it all? We have our predictions and spoiler, they are not the same.

The Conference Finals are upon us. The Semis were finished up between episodes. The main storyline is the Timberwolves-Nuggets. We break that down and look into what they will face in the Mavs and potentially the Finals. We go into the East, but not as much because we know who will go to the Finals. To round it out, we set our predictions for the Conference Finals and overall Finals.

Of the 4 series left, 3 are 2-2. Boston will probably end up as the gentleman's sweep, but the others are must watch. Denver taking 2 on the road, Mavs and Thunder splitting at each others' houses, and the Pacers giving the Knicks everything they've got. We go over all of it, and what we think will happen.

The first round is over and it did not disappoint. The Timberwolves made a statement by going up 2-0 on the Nuggets on the road. We go though what we saw, what we are seeing now, and what we think will happen.

The NFL Draft was great as always. The Falcons were the talk of the town by taking Michael Penix at 8. Falcons fans are going nuts and analysts are having a field day. Jay explains how he feels about it. The NBA Playoffs have been exciting so far. 2 sweeps (one we didn't expect) and a gentleman's sweep. We go through our thoughts and predictions so far.

The NBA Playoffs begin! Two matchups in the West start it off right. We go through the first matchups and make our predictions. To start we touched on the Braves. Gave a little update on where they are now and what we look forward to.

The Men's and Women's NCAA tournaments are living up to the hype and are must watch tv. UConn men's and women's teams look unstoppable. Caitlin Clark is eating as usual. We dive into the tournaments and the impact these up and coming female basketball players will change the WNBA. Side topic, Braves are back!

The Bears are building a serious roster right now. Why did they not make these moved for Justin Fields? We both agree they did him wrong. Will Caleb Williams actually work? We talk about the NBA landscape as it is and how this year's playoffs will be great.

The 2024 offseason begins! Free agents are starting to commit to new teams and shake up the league. The Browns got Jerry Jeudy and resigned Smith and Hurst on the defensive line, but were relatively quiet so far. The Falcons went all out and got Kirk Cousins. There were lots of big moves made that shake up the league. We talk about it all.

Russell Wilson is out as the quarterback for the Broncos. We talk about where he may go. The NBA is getting tight right now in the West, not as much in the East. Who will come out on top? Who can beat the Celtics? We talk about it all.

The big 1-0-0. We made it this far and continue to keep going. To do something special for this episode, we bring on our friend Tyler aka T-Sky. We talked the coach situations, QB situations, and NFL prospects. How does the playoff race look in the NBA? We take a look and explain what we see.

The Chiefs beat the Niners to win their 3 Super Bowl in 5 years. The dynasty only continues with them. Mahomes was great at the end. Purdy and the Niners came close and took them into overtime. We break down our thoughts on the game. The NBA is getting to the All Star break. We talk about what we have seen so far.

The AFC Championship game was ugly, but the NFC Championship game was great. One had an MVP quarterback look terrible, and the other had an MVP candidate erase a 17 point deficit to win the game. We break down what we saw in the games and get ready for the Super Bowl.

The Divisional Round is in the books and now onto the Championships games. What are our predictions? Who do we think will win the Super Bowl? We talk more about the coaching carousel and the importance of the coach, GM, and quarterback.

The NFL coaching carousel has begin. Many coaches fired and teams looking. Bill Belichick is one of these coaches looking for a job. Finally, he has left the Patriots. We talk about his legacy and where he should go. The Wild Card brought us only 1 good game. The Browns looked awful and most games were blowouts. It makes for a great Divisional round. We talk about it all.

Happy 2024! The year started off right with 2 great CFP games and then rounded it off with a good National Championship game. Congrats to Michigan for taking it all. The players now get ready for the draft, and we talk about where we think the top prospects will go. Wild Card round begins this weekend in the NFL. Who wins the AFC? Who wins the NFC? Who is the sleeper? We talk about it all.

Merry Christmas to all. The NFL gave us games for 4 days as gifts this year. It created many storylines that make the playoff race interesting. Who will win the NFC South? Who will make the Wild Card spots in the AFC and NFC? How is Joe Flacco killing? We talk about it all.

Ohtani got $700 million over 10 years. That is out of this world. Is it truly worth it? The In-Season Tournament was great and won by the Lakers. Was it good for the league? Falcons barely lost, but the Browns barely won. How does this stack up for the playoffs? We talk about all of this and then some.

The college football playoffs are set and FSU did not get in. The committee showed us who they are. We discuss why Bama got in over FSU and why Georgia did not get in. The Falcons got back to back wins and the Browns got back to back losses. We talk how the rest of the season shakes out and our Super Bowl predictions.

The Georgia Bulldogs showed who they are with 3 wins against top teams, It is their championship to lose. We explain how everyone in the top 10 are fighting for 2-4 in the playoffs. The Browns beat the Ravens and Steelers in back to back weeks for the first time in history. Gib explains all of his feelings behind this.

It was an interesting week in the NCAA. The Bulldogs won as usual, but for some reason Ohio State is #1 in the country. Bama beating LSU makes things interesting in the SEC. Josh Dobbs was the hero in the win over the Falcons. Jay isn't too happy about it and explains his frustrations. 58 yards is all Cleveland gave up against the Cardinals. We break it all down.

Across the NCAA and NFL, there were some ugly wins this week. For us, it was the Falcons. The Browns had a high scoring, but it just ended up close. Ohio State-Penn State was ugly. Washington-Arizona State. Tennessee was bad just cause they blew it. We talk about all of these and our views on Brock Purdy.

The Braves broke our hearts again by going out the same way to the same team as last year. We break down our frustrations. Browns get a big win against the Niners. It was one no one expected, but we are here for it. The Falcons should have won, but costly errors got them. We break it all down.

The Travis Kelce episode or to some people Taylor Swift's boyfriend. Go figure, we didn't talk about them much at all. We did talk the Braves cutting it close and tying the series, shake ups in college football and what we want to see happen, and the Falcons winning. Browns have Niners next off the bye. Gib is worried because the Niners look unstoppable and Watson is still questionable to play.

The Browns and the Falcons lost, so we aren't the happiest bunch. The rest of the NFL weekend was interesting. We break down our reactions from there. Colorado lost, but it was a close one. The USC defense isn't so strong. Georgia did win which was a high note. Dame to the Bucks and Jrue to the Celtics. How will that stack up? We talk about it all.

Before we get to football, the Braves are 6 games away from the end of the season. How will our pitching do in the post season? NCAA was full of a lot of good games this weekend and some disappointments. Georgia played great. Colorado got smashed. Notre Dame and Ohio State came all the way down to the end. We have our views on that. In the NFL, Dolphins look unstoppable. Browns look like they are getting it together on offense. Falcons offensive line needs help. What is the deal with Justin Fields? We talk about it all.

Jay is pumped up because the Falcons looked great on Sunday. They got down, but in the fourth quarter Ridder brought them back. There's great promise for this team at 2-0. Gib, on the other hand, is slightly depressed because the Browns did not impress. We talk our views on what the issues are. We do go through the rest of the NFL. NCAA was a good week too. Saw lots of blowouts and some close games. Colorado-Colorado State was a great game to round out the weekend.

NCAA week 2 was great. Texas upset Alabama. Colorado beat Nebraska. Saturday did not disappoint. NFL week 1 did not disappoint. Browns and Falcons won. We go into all games from this past weekend. Plus go deep into college recruiting.

Before getting deep into Week 1 of the NCAA Football season, we talk a little baseball. The Braves are back on track and looking like the team we have seen most of the season. It is incredible what they are doing. Week 1 of the football season was eye opening. Major upsets and a view into what teams look like and what we think will happen this season.

This is the Patriots Randy Moss Episode! NCAA football is back and NFL is a week away. We got a glimpse of USC over the weekend and ready for all of the big games this weekend. How do we feel about the top 10 and how it will play out this season? With preseason over, we talk who we liked, didn't like, and sleepers. Plus talk projections and Trey Lance to the Cowboys.

The NFL is back even if it is just the preseason. Its good to see the sport we love back on tv. Falcons and Browns looked good in their respective games, even though the Browns lost. We talk about what we saw from this past weekend, good and bad. Plus predict records this season. On a side note, James Harden is big mad. We think it is nothing and could be for the better for both parties.

For the first time, we talked about all 3 major leagues. Starts with the trade deadline ending and how we think the Braves did. Move onto our cliffhanger from last week: Jaylen Brown and the Celtics. How will that big contract work going forward? We round out with the NFL. What is going on with all of these injuries in the NFL? They aren't even playing with pads on.

Lionel Messi is apart of the MLS. Tickets are through the roof, and the league will become much more entertaining. The Braves are rolling right along. With the trade deadline coming up, what have they done and what will they do? Ohtani is the biggest story right now. Where will end up? Who will trade for him? Will he leave in free agency? We talk about all of this.

Deandre Hopkins finally made a decision and it is the Tennessee Titans. Its an interesting choice, but makes sense. We give our takes and talk more NFL. What is going on with these running backs, and why have they not been paid?

As promised, we talk about our beloved Braves. We have the best record in the MLB and look like it. The team looks unstoppable. We talk about what we've seen so far this season. NBA free agency has gotten interesting. Many moves have been made that will make the league look very interesting come the start of the season. Which teams made the best and worst moves?

The NBA season hasn't been over a month and new storylines have already begun. Chris Paul to the Warriors, Bradley Beal to the Suns, and Marcus Smart to the Grizzlies. These will make for some interesting teams next season. We talk on our feelings behind this.

The Nuggets have defeated the Heat in 5. It is slightly bittersweet. The Heat fought, but the Nuggets were better and they deserve this championship. What will the Heat do now? Is Jokic the best player in the league? Will Dame go to the Heat? We discuss all of this and then some.

Episode 73 aka the Joe Thomas Episode. Hall of Fame left tackle. One of the greatest to ever do it. Because of him, the guys started with the NFL. Deandre Hopkins is a free agent and where he will go is a mystery. The guys talk about their favorite landing spots for him. The guys switch to NBA and talk about how the Heat beat Denver in Game 2 and Kyrie's pitch to Lebron.

Miami beat the Celtics in 7 and now on the way to the NBA Finals. The Nuggets are going to be tough to beat for Miami, but all we can do is hope for a good series. The guys talk about what happened in the ECF and how Miami stacks up against Denver.

We have made it through the playoffs and onto the Conference Finals. Just 8 wins away from the Finals. Lakers were just outed in a sweep. They were four good games at least. Miami is on the verge of a sweep and just a matter of time. We cannot wait for the Finals because something will happen in a Nuggets-Heat series.

The NBA playoffs do not disappoint. The Lakers and Heat are on the verge of gentleman's sweeps. The other two are at least 6 games. The Suns are must watch television. Booker and KD are quite the force. Also, squeeze in a little Braves. They are rolling and hitting home runs every single game.

The first round of the NBA Playoffs did not disappoint. Only 1 sweep, but definitely some upsets. Bucks got swept, which no one saw coming. Cavs went down in 5 along with the Clippers and Timberwolves. The Kings put up a fight, and we were here for it. How do we think round 2 will look? Why did we talk about 90s basketball? The Braves are rolling and absolutely demolishing people. They are going yard every game and making us very happy.

Jalen is now the highest paid quarterback of all time. $255 million over 5 years. That is quite the contract. Can he lead a team that will not be able to afford as much talent anymore? The NBA playoffs are underway. Big wins, surprising upsets, and bad losses. We have some bold takes on all of the games.

We start with a little NFL as usual. What does OBJ to the Ravens mean for Lamar? A large potential contract for Jalen Hurts came out. Will that affect Lamar's situation? The NBA Playoffs are here and the play-in begins. We talk about our potential brackets and who we think wins.

The tournaments are over. Congratulations to LSU for the Women's championship. Congratulations to UConn for the Men's championship. Both of those tournaments were insane. The guys talk about how it brought women's basketball more into the light. NBA playoffs are getting closer. Lakers are creeping up. Who will lose to put them in the sixth spot?

A conversation about the people on tv is to start the episode. Normally that conversation is off air, but its different this time. The Elite 8 is set. It was a helluva weekend for college basketball.

Happy birthday to Jay! He gets another year older, but not too bad. He is still good to be on here. Aaron Rodgers to the Jets, OBJ in free agency, and the Lamar Jackson situation. It's the last of the NFL free agency. At least for now. March Madness is in full effect. Plenty of upsets and we love it. Now we get the good games here. How far will Princeton end up going?

Deals are starting to be made and agreed upon even though they cannot formally sign until March 15th at 4 P.M. Moves are being made all across the league. Falcons are making a splash, Browns are a little quiet, and the world is waiting on Aaron Rodgers. Also, why has no one come to get Lamar Jackson yet?

Finally the Lamar Jackson contract saga comes to an end. Well, kinda. He just got Franchise Tagged. Either someone will trade for him or we will be in the same boat next time around. Derek Carr, Geno, and Danny Dimes all got paid. Why not Lamar?

Today is all NBA. Well, mostly. Football still made its way in, but only a little. The final part of the season is among us, and the playoff push is on. The East has a top 3 for it, but the West is wide open. Who do we think makes it? Upsets?
