Tommy and Shwaggers get into it again as they break down major moves including Antonio Brown to the Oakland Raiders, Bryce Harper to the Phillies, Machado to the Padres, and more! They also discuss the issues of being a fan in the NFL today, and get serious about the Raiders' stadium issues. Plus an unusual lightning round where they discuss chicken wire hockey, He-Man and Wayne Gretzky!00:08 Name change01:31 Topics rundown02:19 Antonio Brown to the Raiders / worst decision of Gruden's career?03:48 Highest paid receiver of all time05:02 Jon Gruden should be better at coaching Derek Carr06:28 Raiders are the opposite of the Browns07:11 Watching the dismantling of the Raiders last season07:40 Do the Raiders keep Carr?08:30 Bryce Harper to the Phillies09:46 Paying for a giant contract / is it worth it?11:24 Did the Padres overpay Machado?13:49 Padres' lack of success recently15:23 When LeBron's out, the defense folds / big fish, little pond!16:34 Getting paid vs. winning17:22 The Jay Cutler Bears years18:16 The issue with Peyton Manning21:18 Le'Veon Bell22:20 What about your teammates/ the Bell conundrum23:50 Cutler + caring = ?25:43 The Raiders' major stadium issues28:05 Seriously, what's happening with the Raiders??28:31 Bowl Cuts29:43 Raiders in Vegas30:45 Justin's brother's story about some real bad fans31:56 Unfortunately, the tuck rule was brought up32:58 NIMBY + Raiders 201935:03 Direction of a franchise ($$ vs long-term planning)37:52 Who wants to go to Inglewood on a Sunday?38:40 NFL's policy on cities paying for stadiums39:39 Seat permits at Soldier Field40:19 Is it better to watch the NFL on TV?41:15 What a fan wants, is what a fan needs42:30 Ticket prices in the NFL44:20 March Madness + Zion45:45 Can't approach playing time from a place of fear47:12 NCAA football vs basketball / putting your body on the line49:50 Tim Tebow vs Colin Kaepernick vs Jesus52:00 Air Jordans54:11 Worst franchise names / mascots56:05 Love for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers57:22 The Philadelphia Goofball01:00:15 Lightning round - NFL vs AAF and XFL, Venus vs Serena, best Olympic sports01:07:40 Lightning round cont - Shaun White and gigantic bongs01:08:41 Lightning round cont - Who has the worst fans?01:11:10 Lightning round cont - Best WR of all time?01:12:22 Lightning round cont - Best hockey player of all time? / chicken wire hockey01:13:57 Lightning round cont - Jason Witten's return to the Cowbows01:15:20 Lightning round cont - Johnny Manziel kicked out of the CFL?
Tommy and Justin get heavily into all things sports controversy while talking about the serious mistakes of Robert Kraft (most of them being Florida), the deeper issues behind the problem with Zion's shoe (maybe pay college players?), the difference between the NBA and NFL drafts vs the MLB and NHL drafts (some drafts matter more), what's next for Kevin Durant, trusting the process / tanking as a strategy (and is that fair to fans???), Ron Artest / Metta's drinking habits on the Bulls, the Alliance of American Football team names (uh Birmingham Iron?? rlly?), Jordan vs LeBron, as well as the college football playoffs. At no point do Tommy and Justin stoop below their usual level in this podcast.**Except there's just one brief moment - you'll know it when you hear it. It's probably the part where they talk about flat-Earthers.Thanks for listening!
