Not That Great

Foxy, Longo, and a late-arriving Tommy review the first full month of MLB action, review surprise storylines, and revisit some premature predictions.

Foxy, Longo and Brogan do the whole damn thing and break down their MLB predictions division by division, culminating with awards picks and your 2022 World Series Champion.

Foxy and Longo breathe a collective (and loud) sigh of relief as baseball exits the lockout, and discuss what's next.

Tommy, Peter, and Foxy dive deep into their respective Mount Rushmores of pitching greats.

Al Brown and Brian Goodwin break down the NFL Conference Championships, heap praise on the Bengals, and predict the Super Bowl outcome. Al also attempts to stealthily obtain a product placement deal with Buffalo Wild Wings.

Foxy, Brogan, and Longo discuss ongoing CBA issues and David Ortiz's solo induction to Cooperstown.

In a new offering from NTG Productions, Tommy Brogan, Matt Fox, and Peter Longo present Baseball's Better, our new baseball focused pod. Unfortunately, they had not yet decided on the name when this was recorded. MLB's ongoing labor strife, free agency and possible trades are the focus of this fast and loose premiere episode.

Al Brown joins Kamil to discuss some NFL Wild Card Weekend observations; later, Kamil attempts to murder Al with a question about the fledgling Boston Celtics.

Al Brown discusses today's major shake-up in the upper ranks of his beloved Boston Celtics. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/notthatgreat/support
