    Two things are certain this time of year: the Patriots will be in the Super Bowl, and Rob will delusionally think the Jets are there instead. What's left to say about Brady and Co at this point?? Rob and Dave say all of it. Also, some tennis discussion about who has the highest highs of the men's Big Three. There's some major Harden love and hateration as he continues his scoring tornado. But most importantly, stick around for the end. Or skip to the end, we're not your nannies. But Dave goes on a parenting rant the likes of which we have not seen. It has nothing to do with sports, other than his rageful passion matched only by MJ's flu game.

And if you'd like to steal it, the guys kindly ask that you don't? Honor system, folks.  Plus, Dave has the drop on an epic reverse jinx to make sure the Chiefs crap the bed, and Rob is a firm believer that everyone in the NFC is a big old fraud.  There's a bit of tennis legend talk, but mostly, it's just an improvisation away from selling an idea to CBS and insta-fame.

    Guys, they really tried. They really, really did. Astros versus Red Sox, one baseball fan and one decidedly non-baseball fan gave it their all, and they learned a thing we'd kind of always assumed: baseball is a LOT of dead time.    Does the conversation descend into a cantankerous discussion of why lefties can't beat the shift and a healthy does of Rob's Lando Calrissian impression? Yes it does. And this is in the middle of a one-run playoff game. We shudder to imagine what might go down between these two during a 9-2 laugher in the middle of July.    In short, please hire these two men to be your local team's play-by-play guys.

That they'd be funnier and more insightful and just a hell of a lot more entertaining.   Well... you be the judge.

Feel free to skip past this if you're just here for the hoops.    But then we get into which teams have a chance of making noise in the East (read: basically none of them if you don't have Kawhi or Jayson Tatum) on your team), which teams are going to joyfully stink, and which teams are just super happy to get a playoff seed between #4 and #7 for the next 100 years.    And we'll be doing the Western Conference teams next, so look out for that.

    Stand-up comedian and friend of the Kicker Christian Finnegan joins to reminisce about how the Cavaliers had absolutely zero chance to win the NBA Finals this year against the Warriors and to drop some hot takes on Pixar's "Coco".   Plus, it's time for another improvised sports movie. In this magical adventure, we've got what you might call a classic "Brewster's Millions" situation, in which a player only gets paid if he's able to join all 30 teams. How will he do it? He's got to be enough of a jerk to get traded, but not so bad that he gets kicked out of the league. It's insane and bizarre, just like an improvised sports movie should be.    Thank You For The Reviews!
