Episode LXI: Skeletons in Baseball’s Fucking Closet

In Episode LXI, Kolsky and Frei dive into some baseball issues — none of which, much to Frei’s chagrin, have really anything to do with the actual sport of baseball — and also debut some new production sound before finishing you off with a little NFL Draft and NBA Playoff chatter… This episode includes Kolsky ranting and raving like a lunatic about the US Government’s bad behavior — don’t worry, just close your eyes and it will be over before you know it!!

Enjoy!

Episode LIV: The Fucking Bay Area Goes National

In Episode LIV, Kolsky and Bonta ignore their ordinary mandate to talk about national issues and go hard on the Bay Area sports scene (which admittedly has been popping up in the big time headlines lately). The Giants won the World Series, the 49ers are in a strange state of organizational turmoil, and a particular couch in the Inner Richmond district may very well soon be literally tossed out the window… This podcast comes to you LIVE (to tape) from Bonta Hill Studios, in between the Warriors beating the Rockets and Bernard Hopkins losing to Sergey Kovalev — you’ll love their topical commentary on sporting events that are more than 24 hours old!!

Episode LIII: Kobe Bryant, Quarterbacks, and Motherfucking Mojo

In Episode LIII, Kolsky and Bonta are feeling ESPECIALLY Superfly (sorry, had to) and utilize their own mojo to discuss NFL quarterback play, followed by a long debate on the role of momentum and “it” factor  in sports and specifically the MLB playoffs, with some Kobe Bean breakdown thrown in at the end… Neither Bonta nor Kolsky may be headed to the hall of fame, but they know their roles — they’re definitely NOT gonna hurt the team!!!

Episode LII: It’s Fucking Playoff Time aka Don’t Fucking Hate

In Episode LII, Kolsky and Bonta take another drive — this time Bonta is taking Kolsky TO the airport (he’s a hell of a guy) and they discuss the Major League Baseball playoffs, the virtues of the In & Out Burger and various other subjects… And then they discussed Derek Jeter at length, but– well, you’ll see. Some portions of this episode have been redacted — but as far as you know, EVERY episode is largely redacted, so just pretend you don’t even know!!!

Episode LI: ESPN and the Fucking Death of Sports Journalism

In Episode LI, Kolsky and Bonta return with some general talk about the MLB playoffs and some of their usual self-referential bullshit before a debate about Bill Simmons and his suspension at the hands of ESPN’s management takes things over down the stretch… Luckily there’s nobody overseeing this shit-show, so the boys can say whatever the hell they want without fear of suspension — in related knews, they may both be looking for work in the very near future…

Episode XLVII: Free Fucking Agency

In Episode XLVII, Kolsky and Bonta follow an extensive revisions and improvements with discussion of NBA free agency machinations, their own basketball exploits and some hard core stripper philosophy. You should fill up on this episode, because it’ll be another two weeks before you get the next one, and make sure you stay tuned for the special out-takes after the end credits… The new Fucking Sports duo is off and running — and we’re open to signing long-term with the Cavaliers if they’ll just take that nasty letter off of their website!!!

Enjoy!

Episode XXXI: Sorry We’re Fucking Late

In Episode XXXI, Kolsky and Hopkins are at the KNBR studios in downtown San Francisco for a slightly abbreviated episode that includes extensive Revisions & Improvements (featuring 1980’s soap operas and Harry Caray) and a new episode of Shit Happens at the High School Level (or at least something like that)… This episode IS two days late, but in a weird twist of the classic idiom it’s actually a dollar in surplus!!!

Episode XXX: It’s A Fucking Horse-Dog

In Episode XXX, Kolsky and Hopkins completely fail to mention that it’s FUCKING EPISODE TRIPLE-X… Poor form, gentlemen… Ahem…

In Episode XXX, Kolsky and Hopkins enjoy some advice from The Boss, spend some quality time addressing a television commercial that appears to be promoting inter-species breeding experiments, and discuss a Top 25 Baseball Announcers of All-Time list, with special focus on a guy who didn’t even deserve the “Honorable Mention” slot that was given to him… Hey Stoney, Fucking Sports spelled backwards is Strop Gnikcuf!!!

Episode XXIX: This Fucking Train

In Episode XXIX, Kolsky and Hopkins speculate further on Hopkins’ upcoming footrace with Tom Brady, wonder whether Jim Irsay got in Peyton Manning’s head, ruminate on the (usually horrible) music that Major League Baseball likes to shove down our throats come playoff time and even bring back Shit Happens at the High School Level for a second straight week (recurring segment, WHAT?!)… As a bonus, today’s episode answers a question as old as time, putting to rest one of the great debates in human history: which music-infused, reality-based, competition television show has the best band?!?!?!

Episode XXVII: Eli Fucking Manning

In Episode XXVII, Kolsky and Hopkins educate the masses on some of the more subtextual content of E-40’s lyrics in his guest spot with Gucci Mane, then engage in a healthy debate over the finer points of Major League Baseball’s Rule 3.16 (and assorted addenda) before rounding things out with a good healthy dose of Kolsky yelling (mostly at the furniture) about a certain perpetually uncomfortable looking NFL quarterback… This podcast has CONSISTENTLY HAD A BETTER COMPLETION PERCENTAGE THAN ELI FUCKING MANNING!!!
