Well sports are pretty much done at this point until football starts... but don't worry we've still found a way to bring you some of that good stuff. NBA and NHL Finals recaps as well as some coaching/trade news in the NBA. Strap in for some extended NCAA Doomsday action here soon we're coming at you with force!
Some more NBA and NHL playoff talk! As well as our opinions on Dan Hurley turning down the Lakers' huge offer to be their next head coach. Are the Oilers doomed? Is Jalyen Brown really the Celtics' best player, per Jason Kidd? Is Carlos Alcaraz going to be able to last through his injuries? All this and more on this episode! P.S. Sorry about the shaky audio quality at times. I'll do my best to edit the lags out but some parts may be super sped up because of that.
The brothers are back just in time for Summer! This episode is a bit of a hodgepodge of topics because we wanted to cover as much as possible for the almost 5 months that we missed. NFL talk, NBA and NHL finals predictions, and why golf just hasn't felt the same recently are a few of the featured topics today. We hope to have you back (or here if this is your first time listening) for the remainder of the Summer! Feels good to be back spitting.
Just as we promised! The boys are back for March and ready for the Madness. In today's episode we cover what we usually split up into two different episodes: analysis of the bracket overall (seeding, placement, regions) as well as all 63 of our picks. As always, we're bringing it all for you guys in this one and hope you're as excited for the weekend as we are!
Happy NFL Playoffs! Today we give some of our predictions about how important home field advantage will be this Super Wild Card Weekend as well as our predictions for Super Bowl teams and winners. We also delve into some coaching talk for both NFL and Alabama's quick turnaround. And we haven't forgotten about college basketball either! Some of that in here too for those who are fans outside of March Madness. Enjoy!
Happy New Year to all! This is actually a great episode that gets into the weeds of the whole Florida State being salty conversation, so buckle up! But before that, we've got some unfinished business to take care of with the NFL MVP award as well as a few teams that surprised us and disappointed us over the course of the NFL regular season.
We're back!!!! After being gone for what seemed like an eternity (we know you guys missed us and were waiting impatiently for our return), the brothers have found their motion and come back to talk some football (with a little basketball and baseball sprinkled in). P.S. If you're still hating on Patrick Mahomes, you're a casual. That's all I'll say.
In this episode of FDRD, Matt gets into a long discussion about the frequent shortcomings of both the Dolphins and Cowboys, and how similarly their teams have fared against good and bad competition. Then, we cover the Bengals' convincing win over the Bills on Sunday Night, noting that this is definitely not the same team from the beginning of the season, and how there might be something brewing behind the scenes in Buffalo. Finally, it's time to explain why Michigan won't face any punishment reg...

The brothers are HERE for all of the Heat/Celtics jargon going on after the Heat finally pulled off the unthinkable in Boston on Monday. It's also time for a Stanley Cup Final that looks eerily similar to the seed-dynamic we have in the NBA Finals... Also, why was Monaco qualifying better than the Sunday race itself this past weekend?
The topic for today: why in the world is every conference finals series so lopsided? We have some answers but also recognize that this is about 1 in a million, so do some deep diving with us as we hash it out on today's episode. Also, will LeBron actually potentially retire and leave Bronny in the dust? Or might we see him play until he's 40+?
The brothers talk some NBA and NHL today (shocker) and discuss some similar problems we're seeing with the Sixers and Oilers in their respective leagues. Is "The Process" really over though? What do the Sixers do going forward without Doc Rivers? And why does Ja Morant continue to flash a gun on Instagram Live when he can just pay for all the security guards in the world?
Hayden is back on the pod after a rough few weeks of finals, but that can only mean one thing... Summer episodes! We're kicking it off with a mixed bag today: NBA and NHL playoff talk as well as some recap of the F1 race in Miami this past weekend. There's also a new segment at the end which we hope y'all will enjoy!
