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.

This week, Brian talks about his trip to the Rogers Centre in Toronto to see the Yankees take on the Blue Jays. Are Canadians evil or are they just that friend you like to push around? Also, have you sat in an alcohol free section at a baseball game? Well, now I can say I have.
We discuss Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison's hatred towards participation trophies and how this ultimately effects the youth of America. Somehow this leads to an intense rambling of Cecil the Lion, Donald Trump, and the destruction of sharks.
He also parachutes in on Ichiro Suzuki's passing Ty Cobb on the all -time "professional" hit list. Do we celebrate this achievement?

On this episode, Brian talks about the fisticuffs in the New York Jets locker room, where Geno Smith had his jaw broken and is out 6-10 weeks. Poor rookie head coach Todd Bowles. He doesn't deserve a QB as bad as Geno Smith, nor does he deserve a hurt Geno Smith and a QB worse than him. (Sigh) Same Old Jets.
He discusses the latest "oldest" craze in Boston- Banning things! It seems the mayor of Boston wants to ban smokeless tobacco from Little Leagues to Fenway Park. Banned for your pleasure!!
Did we mention Houston Texans linebacker JJ Watt loves your attention! We'll lets give it to him!
And we stop in to see how Carmelo Anthony deals with Instagram and how Michael Jordan can never have enough money. A true billionaire wants money from a defunct business because they used his likeness. His Airness, Ladies and Gentleman!

On this week's episode, Brian talks a tough weekend for the New York Yankees as they are swept for division rival Toronto Blue Jays. Is it time to worry in the Bronx yet?
He also discusses his trip up north to see those same Yankees take on the Blue Jays in Toronto.
He touches on the Aldon Smith fiasco and what maybe the real details regarding his latest DUI. And do teams actually still want a piece of him?
He breaks down some of the leaked Tom Brady emails and openly wonders if his own emails are more interesting than the New England Patriots quarterback's messages.
Finally, Brian talks about Michael Jordan's camp and the annual question-If he could beat LeBron James in his prime?
BTW, a special guest joins us on the 2nd half of the podcast...

This week, Brian announces the Mets are still ALIVE! and actually quite good.Timely pitching from Matt Harvey and Noah Syndegard have made the Mets sudden contenders.

We break down the Maury Povich Show and Brian's personal experience there as an audience member.
And Brian discusses the bad choices made by Jets lineman Sheldon Richardson after his arrest plus IS Chip Kelly a racist? Another player speaks out!

On this podcast, Brian makes a special Friday appearance to chime in on two stories that never seem to go away- Deflate Gate and the New York Mets finding new ways to be a laughing stock.
Tom Brady's suspension appeal has been denied and he'll miss the first four games of the season, just like I predicted. Oh, wait, That's not true. But, will his trip to court do anything to help his case?
The New York Mets have been low before, but got real low. REAL LOW. In span of 24 hours they traded, embarrassed, and didnt trade Wilmer Flores. They teased their fans with Carlos Gomez and then blew a 7-1 lead.
And we stop in to see what public restroom Curt Schilling is in today, plus Mike Francesa breaks news that turns out somewhat, kind of true with Yankees pitchers Michael Pineda and Ivan Nova.

This week Brian discusses the departures of some serious big dogs from ESPN. Bill Simmons leaves for HBO while Cowherd unceremoniously departs to FOX Sports.
He touches on how the 1980's culture has completely fallen apart. Hulk Hogan and Bill Cosby to name a few, have ruined our interpretation of the entire decade. How dare they!
Finally, Brian reflects on a great friend who left us too soon, Steve Heck.

This week, Brian returns from Puerto Rico and discusses it all. We touch on the recent Mongo Meetup at Yankee Stadium. A hot, but fun day at Yankee Stadium.
He discusses the illusion of liking the beach, despite all the awful production and man eating sharks.
He remarks on how Chris Berman attempts and usually succeeds to ruin the Home Run Derby, but this year is was a little different.
He breaks down he's frightened about a family member becoming a Met fan. He's really scared for her.
He talks the NFL and the newest suspected criminal, Titans receiver Justin Hunter.
And finally, there are rumors...very modest "rumors" of a reunion of the iconic Mike and The Mad Dog program.

This week, Brian breaks down his recent trip to Fenway Park to see the Yankees take on the Red Sox. Alex Rodriguez continues to crush home runs whenever I'm there and we get introduced to young Rob Refsnyder, perhaps saying goodbye to Stephen Drew.
He peeks in on the NFL and surveys the land of of contract negotiations for Dez Bryant and the ultimatum he has given the Dallas Cowboys. Afterwards, he tries to understand the consistency, and I use that term lightly, with the punishments for bad boys like monster Greg Hardy.
Don't forget the drama that is the NBA, specifically the DeAndre Jordan saga between the Clippers and Mavericks. And the Brooklyn Nets dislike Deron Williams so much, they're paying him to go away forever.

This week Brian goes over the newest national phenomenon that being the exciting historical run of the US Women's Soccer team to World Cup excellence. He discusses if the sudden interest in Soccer is here to stay or if it's just a passing fad in the States.
He discusses all things 4th of July like Killer Shark attacks and how the movie Jaws has ruined him for life. Shark Attacks can happen at anytime!
Blowing up fireworks on July 4th is quite American as well, but blowing them up in your hands when you're a professional athlete who uses those same hands is not a good idea. Just ask New York Giants linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul. He has big problems on his hands like his contract and his epidermis.
Brian quickly reviews the NBA free agency period. LaMarcus Alrdridge's new team and what could have been in Sacramento- an all-time bad chemistry team for the ages.
Finally, he weighs on the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest and all the festivities that encompass this gastronomical event. Spoiler alert-Joey Chestnut DID NOT WIN.
Oh, and did he mention his car at all?

This week Brian sits down and discusses the NBA Draft and particularly the New York Knicks picking the Lativian teenager Kristaps Porzingis, much to the dismay of the Brooklyn crowd. Was the booing justified or Knicks fans typically over exaggerating their dismay for the pick?
He talks about his experience with a overzealous homeless person. Gone are the days where a dollar is modest request for charity. Much higher is the standard asking price.
Brian breaks down young phenom Steven Matz's debut for the New York Mets and how much his grandfather loved the big day.
He discusses Bob Costas going a little too far with some comments about Pedro Strop on the MLB Network. Even a pompous, arrogant, big-headed Bob Costas can't shake this one off.
