In Episode XXXIII, Kolsky and Hopkins discuss the recent rash of officiating controversy in the NFL, examine the tip of the iceberg on the topic of what makes an activity a sport (or a participant an athlete) and check out a list of the most dangerous golf courses in the world… And just when you thought it couldn’t GET any hotter — five minutes of vagina talk to wrap it up!!!
Enjoy!

In Episode XXXII, Kolsky and Hopkins begin with a long discussion of an unnaturally serious topic — specifically the recent controversy surrounding Damon Bruce’s comments about women in sports on KNBR 1050 (in the building where they both work)… It’s a little more serious than the average Fucking Sports, perhaps, but much-needed (we think). Then, to lighten the mood, they check in on the youngest (and fattest) NBA teams and bring you a heartwarming story straight from the California judicial system… Stay tuned to the very end for another delightful outtake (and stay out of Andrew’s flesh box)!!

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?!?!?!

In Episode XXVIII, Kolsky and Hopkins briefly revisit last week’s QB/Super Bowl topic before moving on to an in-depth discussion of the idiocy of a wide variety of sports-involved personages (Jim Irsay, random internet trolls, Texans fans and the fucking St. Louis Cardinals, to name a few) and manage to insult Tom Brady and his wardrobe along the way… Don’t forget to be constantly vigilant as you’re listening — after all, DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!

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!!!

In Episode XXVI, Kolsky and Hopkins move on quickly from a generally agreeable discussion about the rapper Drake into heavily sportsy territory on today’s program. The baseball playoffs have begun, which brings to mind the question — “If the baseball playoffs happen and nobody is watching, do they make a sound?” Not really, but seriously — nobody is watching, what gives? Then they digress into a rabbit hole of insane news on the internet following the trail of a Pirate-fan, unicorn-mask-wearing adult film star, before rounding things out with some classic examples of terrible athlete acting… If Kolsky and Hopkins score 100 points and hold the opposing team under 50% shooting, your ticket stub gets you a free Big Mac (at participating McDonalds locations)!!!

In Episode XXIV, Kolsky and Hopkins take a substantial detour into the pre-show planning session, then relive the harrowing past 20-plus hours of Hopkins’ life before finally getting to sports. In sports, it’s time to get serious about officiating, and your hosts are nothing if not serious. There’s been a lot of poor refereeing and what not going on, and SOMEBODY has got to do something about it… You will NOT have the opportunity to call in rules violations after consuming the slow-motion replay of this podcast!!
Enjoy!
