Phil Mushnick once told me Mike Francesa would spit in my face. The apex of "Get off my lawn / Hot Takes" on the internet. I have never won the day on Twitter. Nor do I want to. A podcast for the intelligent and angry.

Phil Mushnick of New York Post joins the Red Ticket Blues for the weekly Thursday talk.
We discussed the FOX and other networks and how they spread the talent around to everyone including the likes of Alex Rodriguez and Pete Rose. In addition, we break down the art of pitching or the art of managing pitching, particularly when it comes to the New York Mets, Terry Collins and Matt Harvey.
The conversation turns to what ESPN has become especially joining forces with the not so clean NFL.
Speaking of not clean or the level, Mushnick explores the daily fantasy sports craze of Fanduel and DraftKings and how commissioners of the leagues don't see it as gambling.
Phil tackles his issues with Vince McMahon, WWE, and all the unaccountable steroids surrounding the sports entertainment.
Of course, we had to get into a little WFAN and Mike Francesa talk. I mean, WE JUST HAD TO!

This week, Brian welcomes back his friends to to Elm City that being lovely Yale Students. But quickly he gets into how much of a weirdo Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is. He's Holy and has the water to prove it.
How bout that Little League World Series with awful parents, high stakes, and crying kids? Sounds like a ball! Brian touches on this spectacle as well.
But, the Yalies aren't safe! Mostly due to their own actions, but also Brian's wrath and what they have in store for him the next four years.
Finally, he discusses the idiocy of the Boston Red Sox and it hasnt nothing to do with signing Hanley Ramirez. It's the dismissal of announcer Don Orsillo.
