    OB3 Ep 22 - Tebow Bats and Swedish Cowards

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 18, 2016 60:37


    More courageous than a mighty Swede, it's the Off-Balance Three podcast.  This week's topics: Archery is a badass sport. Everyone knows this. Everyone except NBC, that is. The guys debate why archery has been snubbed in Olympic coverage. All Ball or Flagrant Foul: Hope Solo has some harsh words for Swedish soccer. Was she in the wrong? Do the Olympics call for a heightened sense of sportsmanship? Tim Tebow is selling autographed bats and balls for an amount of money considerably higher than the value of the individual bats and balls. The OB3 gets to the bottom of this tomfoolery. The Olympics are plenty entertaining as they are (thanks, archery), but how could we make them even better? The guys each propose a sport to add to the games.

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 11, 2016 57:13


    More verdant than an Olympic swimming pool, it's the Off-Balance Three podcast.  This week's topics: Geoff Young recaps last week's bitchin' Star Trek convention. Bryan recaps how Two-Face from Batman once ruined his mission to watch cosplay sex. A-Rod is getting forced out of the Bronx, mostly because there's no precedent for the Yankees playing lousy, decrepit ballplayers for a full season. Speaking of calling it quits: Bow Wow is retiring from rap music. Maybe he can take the Garth Brooks/Chris Gaines route. RGIII has received the kiss of death by being named Cleveland Browns starter. Do you buy his return? Tim Tebow is trying to make it as a baseball player, perhaps genuine, perhaps calculated. Is it all ball or flagrant foul? Spoiler alert: It's a flagrant foul. Plus: Aaron welcomes his friend Other Brian to the set. Other Brian wastes no time to tell us all about Aaron's history of goofy behavior. Riveting stuff!

    More sinister than Aldon Smith's PR team, it's the Off-Balance Three podcast.  This week's topics: Trekkies and sports fans have a lot more in common than you'd expect. The guys discuss the philosophy of being a fan. Draymond Green and the aforementioned Aldon Smith both committed social media faux pas this week. All ball or flagrant foul? You know football season is coming because the news stories are getting weirder. Did you hear Warren Sapp got bit by a shark? Aaron takes this as an invitation to let you know how he'd like to die. Riveting stuff. Also discussed at length: Carbondale, Illinois's own Treesong, for whom Bryan possesses much reverence. Plus: The MLB trade deadline happened! Geoff rides the Colin Rea express to let's us know who the winners and losers were.

    Fresh from a vacation that lasted half as long as Tom Brady's will, it's the Off-Balance Three podcast.  This week's topics: Aaron recounts his many adventures watching the Euros in soccer-mad Italia. Did he go crazy for Conte? It's still hard to believe Kevin Durant is a Golden State Warrior. What does this mean for the NBA?  Baseball games famously never end in ties, but what if MLB adopted something akin to penalty kicks? How about a mascot race for all the marbles? The whole wedding invite process can be improved by science. Find out how. Salary caps. Franchise tags. All ball or flagrant foul?

Continuing last week's conversation, who would make up a modern day ProStars lineup? Bryan thinks this is the dark season for sports. Dude's obviously never heard of a little place called ICELAND.

Las Vegas has been awarded the 31st NHL franchise. Will tourists and degenerate gamblers unite to support the team? What could this mean for the NFL's future in Sin City?  San Diego gears up for the MLB All-Star Game. Is it the best of the major all-star showcases?

    Struttin' swag like we're Nihar Janga, it's the Off-Balance Three podcast.  This week's topics: Why pay $5,000 for a Steph Curry mouthguard when he's just going to give them away for free? NFL Head Coaches appear to be retreating from their long-waged war against mathematics and probability. Is the 2-Pt Conversion here to stay?

    OB3 Ep 15 - American Luminaries with Mike Simpson

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 9, 2016 46:51


    Mike Simpson is a writer and contributor to Crooked Scoreboard. Earlier this week, he authored a piece about the late Muhammad Ali: "Muhammad Ali: All That's Left Behind Is An Empty Space." Here's an excerpt: “If we are to assume Muhammad Ali's legacy is something larger than boxing–if we are to assume his legacy is tied directly to his commitment to human rights, and to the sacrifices he made in order to pursue them, and his commitment to living a reasonably just life–I'm stuck wondering out loud if we can find any tangible proof that his legacy has meant anything to us at all.” In this episode of the podcast, we invite Mike to elaborate on his Ali thoughts, and explore the greater societal implications of the luminary's legacy... And then we cut it with the serious stuff and discuss Larry the Cable Guy, bad tweets, and the anatomy of joke-writing. Other topics on the docket: Who the hell needs a ballgame when you've got a luxury suite?  The art of being neighborly: How to coexist with your neighbors so that they don't set their sprinklers to douse your firewood.  J.R. Smith is crowdfunding a reality series on Kickstarter... and he's doing it during the NBA Finals. Is that all ball or flagrant foul? Aaron Hodges vs. Mike Simpson. Two men enter, one man leaves totally burnt over Larry the Cable Guy. These topics, as well as other topics not totally unlike them, on this episode of The Off-Balance Three!  Follow Mike Simpson at @HFMike -- The Off-Balance Three are Aaron Hodges, Bryan Miller, and Geoff Young.

    Every day is Hump Day when you're covering the Dubai Camel Race!  This week, we invite Crooked Scoreboard contributor Lucas Hubbard to discuss his recent article about camel racing in Dubai, where the race track is massive and the jockeys are robots. Really.   Lucas also takes some time to muse upon the plight of said camels: “I wonder what camels think of other horses. If it's something they strive to be or if that's just beyond the reach of what they could ever hope to be.” This particular musing, as well as other musings not unlike it, on this episode of The Off-Balance Three!  -- The Off-Balance Three are Aaron Hodges, Bryan Miller, and Geoff Young.
