The sports dump is a sports comedy empire in it's infancy. We love sports, we hate sports, we make fun of sports. Our podcast network covers the full breadth of sports fans.
It's finally here and we've got our football analyst supreme Pro football Max here to break it down after a few minutes of remembering super bowls past. we have predictions and a few props to consider for the big game!
absolutely zero pro bowl talk but Pro Football Max is here to go deep with his observations of the season and some hints at the future of the NFL. Have a listen and see if your top 5 takeaways match ours!
It's down to four great teams in the NFL playoffs and Pro football Max joins us to go over these two clashes of titans. (not the team the titans). maybe it's clash of titii? is that the plural of titans? who knows.
It's another NFL weekend and we break down all the games. More bits on the way soon.
time to dive deep into each of the games this weekend. football games. playoff football games. you need more description?
something at stake in every game of the week, if you count draft position as "something". The football consiglieri joins us to go over each game and there's some prop advice in there too. apologies for not putting the intro/outro into last weeks episode, i haven't been taking my meds. or i've been taking too many of my meds. can't remember.
Pro football Max, the football consiglieri is here to hit the NFL games with some sage gambling advice as well. And in the wake of the death of Pelè I simply recommend that you go watch the movie "Victory" asap. He co stars with Michael Kane, Sylvester Stallone, Max Von Sydow and a host of old English soccer stars. Great ww2 escape movie with Soccer at the heart.
its the week in football with pro football max and his picks for the week!
Only 2 guests this week as we talk a little soccer(futbol?) with Boom Chicago Alum and everythingbutsports correspondent Lauren Flans. Mostly we go over pet peeves about Dutch people before she explains her annual tradition of Flansmas! to us. Then we move on to Pro Football Max and a thorough rundown of the games this Sunday!
We have a little bit of everything on this show. By everything we mean football of all types, and white dudes of all types talking about it. in order -Guy from Texas: (Quincy Miller) going over the big conference championship games while taking shots at the SEC -Guy related to host: (Mike Canale) diving deep into the knockout rounds of the World Cup while taking shots at many boring teams. -Guy from Chicago: (Brad Morris) and Joe dust off Givin' Props!- a segment we used to get paid for that we are giving to you for freeeeee! - Football Consigliere: (ProFootballMax) joins us to go over the weekend's NFL slate, some bold predictions in there! - Booing (fin).
it's another 3 segments of sports dumpitude! 1. Quincy Miller from Texas talks college football because...he's from Texas. We go over the big games this weekend and take shots at Saban as often as we can. 2. (21:00 minutes)- It's Maximum Football with the Football Consiglieri @Profootballmax1, who give us his picks and makes a BIG prediction for Justin Hebert! 3. (38:10)- The Long Awaited (?) return of Givin' Props, the segment where Brad Morris and I give you some alternative betting options to the regular run of the mill Vegas bookmakers. *any gambling you do based on this segment is not recommended. We are idiots.
We've got three guests with three separate segments! Next week these will all be shorter (play at 2x this week) in order.... Lauren Flans- starts the show with some light chatter about Kyrie Irving and Anti Semitism!!! (first time we've had to put that in an intro)- this segment is about 8% sports. Nooch talks NBA- with our two weeks late NBA preview. We also talk about Kyrie, but more about how he's a team killing narcissist who thinks he's smarter than he is- this segment is about 49-51% sports. Pro Football Max- Joins us to go over the weekend slate of games. No mention of Kyrie and this segment is 108% sports!
If you are expecting your run of the mill College football preview you've obviously never listened to this podcast. we're joined by Quincy Miller who attended USC when they were good and also is from Texas, so he's got football in his blood (also troubling levels of potassium for some reason). We talk about a lot of teams in before making the same predictions everyone else does for the playoff. No! there's actually a surprise pick! topics include. -Texas a&m vs Texas - Nebraska getting shit on by the irish press -lots of new qb's -Alabama is good, who would have guessed - Brian Kelly might not make it through the season at LSU -oklahoma, texas, miami, nebraska again, clemson, miami, notre dame, USC, Utah are also teams we rip on.. maybe a couple others.
Joe and Nooch examine the NBA free agency and Nooch does a surprise new segment called "sneaky surprises" - after we figure out what he means by "alphabetical". He follows that up with another incredible segment called "bad bounces" or "a better name we think of later" and the last 7 minutes or so are spent breaking down Aaron Rogers' mid life crisis: exhibit W: The Tattoo.
2x Dad Joe talks with Dan (no kids that we know of) about having DAVE THOMAS (SCTV) on his other podcast and how he tried to get Dan to send Dave a gift for no reason. Then we review the NBA finals- spend 30 seconds acknowledging Hockey- Talk about how we should be enjoying the WORLD CUP right now but it's 130 degrees in Quatar so.... Finally we discuss how the NFL owns the off season, by having horrible stories come out every month or so. give us a 5 star rating for fathers day!
Just when you thought about deleting the podcast we bring you back in with a rundown of almost all the sports you can name (i'm assuming you don't know many sports) I'm joined by my old pal Quincy (a Texas longhorns fan) and we discuss how depressingly similar Nebraska and Texas football have been since 2009. Then we get into Josh Donaldson (worst yankee ever? sadly probably not) and how the NFL seems to squash stories better than anyone.
I was supposed to put this up yesterday but I had a kidney stone and was in the fetal position most of the day. But that is a story for another day (tomorrow?). For TODAY-After nooch comes on briefly to give his NBA finals predictions he leaves and comes back several times just to ruin the show. Then Brad Morris and I talk about the most recent Sports Comedy job that we were fired from (there have been several). then we give our nba picks and talk just a little bit of baseball, but not enough to make you take a nap. Just short of that.
it's been a while but this is the first episode i've dropped during the friday evening news DUMP, which is probably the best time for a dump titled show. after spending 5ish minutes catching you up on the world of sports (spoiler: still as dumb as always) we then move to our BASEBALL season opening celebration of what used to be America's past time, theoretically. rather than bore you with predictions of who will win or lose what, this season I'd rather bore you by sharing a little known fact* about each and every team playing this season, even the shitty ones! * the "facts", in some cases, may actually be "alternative facts" also known as lies. but most of the tidbits are real, or at least plausible in some version of this universe. - enjoy!
I'm joined by our college basketball expert Nooch for an instant reaction to the NCAA tournament brackets and of course the sports world can't go 2 months without Tom Brady crying for attention, then we get some surprise information about Prince being alive and living in a huge underground cavern (!) before we end on a tour of valuable sports artifacts in Nooch's closet (check out the episode on YouTube for video).
We (joe and producer Quincy) catch up on all the big sports news and point out that even a labor dispute resolution in baseball isn't bigger news than the CARSON FING WENTZ trade!!!. and speaking of unvaccinated QB's, I talk about aaron rogers and disgusting body cleanses with comedian and co host of the Dollop Podcast, Gareth Reynolds.
Apparently it isn't a big deal to have a show on you tube, we don't care! We're entering the video age several decades late but you can see us now! But since you are here just keep listening as Joe and new Producer Quincy lay down a "baseline" episode to measure all future eps against. in this one. - Joe tries to talk about the nfl games but quincy didn't watch - Joe and Quincy predict the future of college football while also lamenting the fact that Texas and Nebraska aren't currently part of it. - We find out a little about Quincy's one year as a successful sports gambler and SEVEN years of professional on line poker playing! - we try to figure out what's next, but that's next week's issue!
We talk about the Baseball hall of fame ballot as well as the recent players voted in by veterans committees. by "We" i'm talking about The Baseball brothers Mike and Joe Canale. Mike knows all about baseball history and nothing about the current game. Joe knows very little about anything, despite the way he acts. Also, please ignore the part where we say we are gonna talk about Soccer. We don't. This one is actually a little more sporty than the usual episodes, for what it's worth.
Joe and Mike Canale (AKA:the soccer brothers) give you a roundabout preview to the premier league (after the beginning of the season, of course). We talk about how good the top 4 teams are, as well as pointing out some of the other teams who will be interesting to watch or at least a huge disaster (Arsenal, looking at you). Also a few thoughts on how good Messi will be in MLS in two years. *may also contain other content about cornfield baseball.
Once again Brad Morris and Joe Canale dip their toes into the world of prop betting to bring you some prop bet ideas you may not have considered.... in today's episode -Olympics, who wins the infection Olympics? -The Lakers are getting the Band back together, but can they still play their instruments? -The New York Giants- is this the ONE Belicheck disciple who can coach? Odds say no. -The Cubs suck again. Nature is healing? -Messi Wedding talk (this is two topics smushed together)
We had to do an episode because Nooch was available and had stuff to talk about (UConn guards taken by Michael Jordan) but also because the cubs just cut the heart out of their team and threw it on the floor. and we have a cubs season ticket holder and lifetime fan (Scott Goldstein) to tell us how horrible it feels. Also our baseball history expert, my bro, here to show off his many hats, which is unfortunate for a podcast. Finally we get to how horrible the lakers are and a tiny bit of NBA draft talk AND We talk about the competition in Tokyo that we won't mention so we don't get sued.
With legalized sports betting sweeping the nation we thought we'd throw our hats into the ring with a special spin off edition of the pod called "Givin' Props" where Brad Morris and I offer some topical prop bets that we weren't able to find on any of the 382 gambling apps we have on our phones. While we don't yet have the set up to actually let you gamble on these prop bets, we will soon be setting up a venmo account for you to send your losses to. No word yet on if we will be paying out your wins, but THAT'S GAMBLING! ON TODAY'S SHOW - How many more olympians will get busted for WEED? - Why are the Cowboys on Hard knocks again? - Who will win the Flopping title in the Euro Cup? - What will the next devastating injury be in the NBA playoffs - How many more Fast and Furious movies will there be?
We continue our tradition of mocking the mock drafts in the pursuit of proving that nothing matters. Most evidence in our favor so far. Before that part of the show is an explanation of what earthquake retrofitting is and what the worst case scenario (that doesn't result in injury or property damage) might be. I lived it a few days ago. Finally, a melancholy "see you soon" to our long time Co-Host Nooch, as he finally has made contact with extra terrestrials and is headed out past the milky way. OR He got a damn good job that justifiably will take up his "sports dump" time. To that end, we are in search of a new co-host. Ideally a female version of Nooch if such a thing exists. subscribe rate and review as this might be our penultimate episode.
It seems like only 6 months ago we were talking about the Masters. Probably because we were. anyway, without tiger all there is to talk about is not great for golf, so we move on quickly to the realization that we are in a month full of sports that still seems.....yawn. Perhaps because the prospect of not watching our televisions is putting life into perspective. JUST DON'T STOP LISTENING TO PODCASTS!!!!! listen to this one on your way to all the parties you will go to after vaccination!
WOW this is a loaded episode where we mention ALL THE TEAMS and some of the players! Nooch and I don't dive right into the preview as we enjoy a couple of distractions up top but then MIKE Canale, the official Sports Dump Baseball historian comes on to make some horrible predictions about the current season followed by some INCREDIBLE old school baseball talk about stolen bases. Truly pulls some great shit out of his ass! Also I make my argument for Tony Larussa ruining the whole sport. Subscribe rate review tell someone you love/hate!
I know we've been talking quite a bit about the dirtbags who control sports. Luckily we can take a break to enjoy some wholesome amateur sports. Molly Erdman and Dan Antonucci join me to go through the men's NCAA tournament bracket. Do not use this guide to gamble, but rather look at it as us mentioning reasons why you morally shouldn't want some of these teams to win (there are a BUNCH of them).
We bring back one of the OG sports dump contributors, funny free style rapper and podcasting superstar Lauren Flans. Though she isn't absorbed in the world of sports or even aware of it, she offers some untainted takes on some of the prevailing sports stories of the week. We talk about. - Racist Basketball players/video game streamers -"Plantation referencing" college basketball coaches - Sexually predatory College football coaches. - Full houses at sporting events in Texas All in all it's some funny bits in between me ranting like a madman at the utter stupidity that surrounds us. But you will be happy to know we didn't have time for Hockey OR soccer!
There are times when there just isn't anything going on with sports. I wish this was one of those times. Unfortunately almost everyone sucks. Luckily one of the few who doesn't, Dan Antonucci, is here with me to talk about... - the fact that we know someone who was at the insurrection -a former Sports Dump Co-host on Wheel of Fortune last night! -Creighton's coach, and how he possibly came to use the word "plantation"....twice. -The surprising news that Texas football boosters are old white racists -LSU proving no national title comes without some horrible shit. And Maybe Les Miles isn't a genius, or even smart. -The Head of the NFL players association is essentially working for the owners and not the players. FUN! -Some odd scientific predictions from nooch (get ready for pangea to return!) please rate review subscribe tell other people to do the same! -
It's Joe and Nooch running down all of the most important sports stories of a pretty shitty month for sports. But we have car crashes and bashing the rich and we also call out Tom Brady for being the lightweight that he is. Subscribe and rate and follow and have a great life! (these things are not related or guaranteed in any way)
It's that time of year when I remember how much I don't like Tom Brady. Let me list the ways (about 2/3 into the episode). But before that Nooch and I talk about how my kittens (sisters) are in a big fight with each other. THEN we get into some talk about Prop bets, at one point Dan has me filling out a survey or some shit. Eventually we get to our meaningless prediction for the score but our much more meaningful predictions of what dumb shit might happen. please don't gamble, but if you do, don't do what we say.
It's the first episode of the new year and we are trying out a NEW format/segment (it's new, so it could be anything). Comedian Gareth Reynolds (the dollop, IO west) and "The Sports Widow" Molly Erdman join me to try and figure out if playing sports during a pandemic is a good idea or not. We also give a very brief preview of the NHL, which is actually me quizzing the guests to see if they can name the 4 divisions. Don't worry, you don't need to know hockey to enjoy, you DO need to know basic directions. Fun bits and many insults thrown around. Subscribe rate review and go to thesportsdump.com for occasional other content!
-After we start off with the Holiday greetings we immediately pivot to the recent spate of deaths in the sports world. -Joe tries to mention real sports before Dan gets us back on (off?) track. -The once mighty NFC east is a pile of shit, but I can stop watching dog shit. -Joe again makes a mistake of almost talking NBA before we realize what a perfect Dukey Grayson Allen is. Several minutes of quality Duke Bashing follow. -The best part of the episode starts around 23 minutes in as Nooch tries out our new 2021 format in a speed round of finding one good thing and one awful thing to say about a bunch of sports shit. With cool soundtrack! Subscribe Rate 5 stars and Review with all your gripes about us.
I see that other sports media giants have seized on our "Day Late" season previews (LOOKING AT YOU DEFECTOR! I PAY YOU TO STEAL YOUR IDEAS NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!). Luckily we've been so consistent in being late with our previews that I'm not worried. - And this one is less late than usual, having been completed before any games were played. Our NBA insider/outsider Dan Antonucci is here with me to praise and rip Bill Simmons as well as Give our NBA predictions- LAST YEAR I PICKED LAKERS OVER HEAT SO GAMBLE ALL YOUR MONEY ON THESE PREDICTIONS (don't really).
My long time friend and co-owner of our fantasy team, Brendan Hunt joins the show. We talk about his trip overseas to shoot season two of Ted Lasso AND to become a daddy! HOORAY! we are then joined by my brother Mike as we talk about the Champions League draw. If you don't know Champions league soccer is world class competition you can watch during the day on weekdays! Perfect for the unemployed, which I assume most of our listeners are. Kidding guys, i'm sure you're all rich.
For some reason David Samson (world series-winning MLB team president and host of Nothing Personal... on CBS platforms) has agreed to come onto our show Three times! Each time more fun than the last. Because he has many outlets to give his sports takes I decided to instead take a cultural detour into his love of Art. I also open things up with a very stupid trade suggestion and try to convince David to buy The Second City at some point as well. Even less sports than usual! subscribe and rate and review toooooooo.
I was finally able to track down Brad Morris and get him into an episode. Don't worry, we have Nooch too, and he and brad do an excellent representation of what the call between the Jets and Trevor Lawrence will sound like. We try to pick a Champions League team for Brad AND the episode is littered with passages of my kid absolutely TROLLING ME by turning off the light in my studio, shoving cats in my face and other joys of parenting. This is a fun one!
Today is a frankenstein episode. Three parts. 1. Nebraska Cornhusker jokes (better if you DON'T like Nebraska) 2. an attempt at a regular episode with Nooch, cut short when he gets called into work while recording. 3. our emergency co host is back again to give football picks. it's a very frustrating part of the show for me.
If I risked alienating the few regular listeners we have with my last episode, which focused on the demise of the Nebraska Cornhuskers (a very niche topic to say the least) today's episode might finish the job. my usual co host Nooch is ghosting me and my wife needed to get some work done so today's emergency co host is my youngest kid, Val. This is not her sports dump debut, as she won our NFL picks contest two years ago, finishing over .500. Rather than dumb it down I just went over the topics I had picked out to do with Nooch, and while the approach may have been different, the results weren't changed all that much from a typical episode.
I know you might find it amazing to discover that I host another podcast, but it's true. What is surprising is that we have a loyal following, and have even made a dollar or three while doing it. Especially when you consider that the topic of the show is Nebraska Football. When I was a kid Nebraska was a Powerhouse. Now we more like an abandoned house. Pat Janssen and Ryan Tweedy join me to figure out what happened to the Huskers and if there is any reason to keep rooting. ***if you aren't interested in Nebraska football, it's ok to skip this one, unless you just enjoy yelling.
When Joe isn't forgetting people's names (always fun), Molly Erdman is here to inject some common sense into sports topics, which usually have none. -we open with a couple chuckles making fun of the misery of others -thanks to the Red zone, Joe and Molly get all the NFL highlights, some of which are even worthy of discussion -The Masters like no other was a bore, as is the winner, does that matter and are all golf and tennis players rich kids? -Joe brings up the NBA draft for absolutely NO reason. but it does make molly wish basketball was being played. -what starts out as a covid discussion concludes with the observation that 19 year old men with multiple concussions are right below old rich men on the list of who NOT to listen to.
Great to have Nooch back even though Joe talks the same amount either way. -Joe updates nooch on the dirty business baseball buried in the news dump over the weekend. -Tony LaRussa, baseball's icon of the old white man's last stand gets arrested again, and we are here to recreate the interaction. (5:45) -The SEC has cancelled half of it's games this weekend. WINNING! (actually it may be more as of now, news happens fast) -NBA DRAFT talk for 15 seconds leads to our new game "6 degrees of Husky" where nooch can link any basketball player (or maybe anything?) to a UCONN Husky. genuinely impressive. -The MASTERS the most appropriately named Golf tournament ever gets played in the fall, who cares? Not us but we give you some rando picks. Don't gamble on these.
-Joe goes solo today -Joe got twitter banned -Lebatard Show protesting firings by not doing their show- l love them but will replace them in a second if ESPN wants. -The Dodgers organization has 9 more covid cases. NO PUNISHMENT -everyone will have covid eventually -Joe tries to find a figure in sports who is as poor a sport as our "president". after eliminating some good candidates we settle on a close match. subscribe rate review and pressure your friends and family to do the same.
Sorry for the delay this week. Other stuff on the mind. Speaking of, why couldn't sports do something this week to help distract us? Nooch and Joe try to come up with sports analogies for our current political waiting game. And just when you think the episode is over, we go on an 8 minute NFL bashing session. Hope it's as fun to hear as it is to say!
Nooch and Joe go over the Last game of the World series and all the great stoner music being played in and out of commercials. Then we laugh because LA is Championship City! We re-create the Argument between Justin Turner and the MLB guy trying to keep him from partying. We also recreate the worst move of the series when The Rays Manager took out Blake Snell. We end the episode with Joe quizzing Nooch on where all of the Champions League teams are from before the recording cuts out, i'm not sure what happened but honestly there was nothing good past that point.
Not your typical episode heading but it will all make sense in a few minutes of listening. -show opens with Joe taking an old man rant to the Dodgers Hockey hair. -Nooch tries to pitch "Bill Simmons" some boston ideas for the ringer -Daniel Jones had the sports moment every 40 year old has when they think they are still Daniel Jones' age. -Joe interviews the Corona Virus to find out more about the "mutual respect" Odell Beckham Jr. and the virus has. -"Adam Silver" calls Santa Claus to break the news that they are opening the season on Christmas. Neither of us had a good enough Jesus impression.
After basking in the glory of our accurate NBA finals prediction we came down to earth by only getting the Dodgers part right in our baseball predictions, but we make up with it several times over. First Co-host NOOCH and I go over what or who exactly he is. We then re-create Dave Roberts and Clayton Kershaw on the mound of game 4, 6th inning, 1 out, man on first. That leads us into 1 minute of daily fantasy talk. I'm sorry. BUT we give you more comedy with an imagined conversation between super agent drew rosenhouse and super QB Trevor Lawrence. It doesn't go where you might think. subscribe rate review follow twitter @sportsdumpshow
On to the NFL... seems to be the order of the day as ESPN and others want you to dwell on the horrific ankle injury of Dak Prescott instead of the greatness of LeBron. We got some jokes from the weekend and why does 2020 just keep killing Hall of Fame Baseball players? Every major sport has proven they can get through a season with a pandemic...........except for football. More content on the way this week! Apologies in advance!
