Game of Thrones: Season 7 Episode 1 – Instant Reaction

Winter has come. Season 7 has arrived. Joe, Steve, Beef, and special guest John discuss the premiere and their rapid-reaction to an episode that underwhelmed a bit but delivered a lot of information. The foursome agreed that the opening may have been one of the best scenes in the entire show and that there is a lot going on at the Citadel that hadn’t been discussed previously but this episode was ultimately about two women, one standing on a map, the other taking her first look at one that are on a collision course. The boys also discuss the odds of who will be the next character to be “retired” and odds of who ultimately ends up on the throne at the end of the season! If you love the G.O.T. then tune in and share! (photo credit: Time Magazine)

Pinstripe Profanities and Money Mayweather… The Fight

Well, the fight that nobody expected to actual take place is on the books and just about one month away. LP, FP, and Stevie have the night off so Joe invited Boxing and MMA super-fan “20” on the show to discuss the fight, the hype surrounding it, and to talk tactics and predictions as well. If you love combat sports or just want to get caught up on all things Mayweather vs. McGregor this is the podcast you need to listen to. Don’t miss Joe’s hot take (@26min) regarding a few changes that could be made to this fight that would command an increase of the PayPerView buy from $100 to $250… could the two sports be combined into a super-combat-sport? Tune in and listen to the guys discuss! This fight is going to happen… who you got!? (photo credit: SkySports)

Triple R: Quarterbacks

The Redskins are engaged in a game of high-stakes chicken with their franchise QB Kirk Cousins and LP and Joe are terrified to ask what the future holds for the franchise. The show was supposed to be about the OL/DL but quickly got sideways and into the Cousins contract status, why management is unlikely to get a deal done, and a discussion of the backup options Bruce Allen may be preparing to explore. Once upon a time LP was 99% sure the Skins would get a long term deal done with Kirk… he has updated his opinion while Joe has double-down on his. What is the magic number to get this deal done? What happens if it doesn’t get done? Do Redskins fans support the team or the quarterback? … is it really long term deal or bust?!

This show is all basketball… lots and lots of basketball! The NBA offseason is complete insanity. How can average players be paid so much guaranteed money on these short and long term deals? Hint: The ESPN TV contract has everything to do with it. These bloated salaries are happening because ESPN overpaid for the rights to broadcast the NBA and this postseason didn’t help! But teams have big decisions to make too… What will the Wizards do about RFA Otto Porter? Does Gordon Hayward nudge the Celtics past the Cavaliers in the East? LP gets down into the math of several free agent moves and Joe gives everyone two teams to watch in each conference this upcoming season that are completely off most fan radars!

Could Phil Jackson (28:30) coach in the Big3 league? Who does Lonzo Ball (31:45) remind you of? Plus Trump (39:30) keeps tweeting and the biggest news of the week… DTC has joined the HMG family (intro)! Tune in, listen, share, repeat! Happy 4th of July to everyone!
