To The Max Sports

For a second there we thought Drew might pick the Giants to win the Superbowl. The odds on that are crazy long. We all agree on the best division in football, unlike last year, and we put our superbowl stakes in the ground.

Our NFL Draft Guy, Carlos, joins us as we get ready for some football. But first we have a quick discussion about the Olympics and some of the controversy surrounding the boxing side. We also wrap up talking about the Cowboys and their issues. Bob lays down two bets for Drew.

Middle of the summer news cycle with nothing of anything really happening. So we talk about some athlete ranking, and Drew really wants you off his lawn. Should we let a rookie pitcher throw 100 mph for a full 9 innings in the quest for a no-hitter in a regular season game prior to the All Star Break and damn, what about those uniforms.

Spurs load up in the draft and in Free Agency. We talk about some other news in the NBA and other sports. A lazy day for sports news.

Just like everyone else in sports analysis this week we wade in on the Caitlin Clark 'situation' and give our thoughts. Then we talk gambling. And we make our NBA Finals picks. Agree with us?

Mr. Ed, err, Mystic Dan calls us and we have a conversation about the Preakness and then we wax poetic about the Spurs and their draft prospects.

We look back at the draft that was, make fun of some questionable decisions, notice apostrophe marks and talk with Carlos about what the future looks like for these draftees. For one of them, it is Social Security before some of us.

Carlos, our draft whisperer, joins us to break down the first round of the draft. Bob makes a bad political joke and drops some truth on Cowboys fans. Well he does that always. Its a quarterback heavy draft but when isn't it.

We just got word that OJ SImpson has lost his battle with cancer. Everyone of a certain age remembers the white Bronco, so we talk about it. We talk some college womens ball, with someone getting Alabama and South Carolina confused.We were down some video gear this week so it will look a little different. Sorries.

With our proprietary algorithm, which consisted of properly weighted darts and a well placed board to throw them at, our brackets outperformed. We hit 14 out of the 16 teams in the sweet 16. We aren't perfect, but then no one is on the Men's side. We then tackle some sports betting questions and get ready for baseball, sort of. Long live March Madness!!

We applied our highly proprietary SWAG-arrific alogrithm to the brackets and spent hours and hours of research and we came up with some hidden upsets which if they come out, we will look like geniuses.

We go over our thoughts on the Super Bowl including a quick run down of the Taylor Swift Prop Bets. Shock, we split on our picks, but you have to listen to know which way Drew went.

Well, Bob's 49ers squeak by the Packers and Jason Kelce gets yelled at by his wife. Oh yeah, Drew has a conspiracy theory about how the Superbowl match-up has already been decided.

Man, what an epic collapse by the Cowboys? What can be done about the culture in that place. Also, the Eagles collapse entirely. Wildcard weekend was wild.

Ok. We have no inside information, no inside source. But why would you stay at Michigan. You achieved the Championship. Go back to the NFL And get that Superbowl ring. In all seriousness, congrats to Michigan. And Congrats to Bob for going over 500 for the season. And now on to ... the playoffs, as its not Cincinnati and perhaps Bill wears a different hoodie next year.

Yep, its the end of the year. The College Football Championship is finally here. We go in totally different different directions on our picks. Bob brings up a story about China and someone losing their championship and possibly bowel control. Oh, yeah, our NFL Picks, too.Here are the picks for the week:Jets at Browns (-7 1/2)Drew - JetsBob - BrownsLions at Cowboys (-5)Drew - LionsBob - CowboysPackers at Vikings (-2)Drew - VikingsBob - Packers49ers (-13) at CommandersDrew - 49ersBob - 49ers

Ok, we are just assuming Slimey was connected to the Mob. Makes it funnier that way. But after a dispute over a pizzeria appearance, Tommy Devito is seeking new representation and did a solid for them. Good job you.Cowboys underperformed horribly, but damn, we killed our picks. We went 4-1 against the spread. So, who ya gonna call?

Seems Bill has been making some questionable personnel decisions. One of those was what he gave Gilmore away for to the Cowboys. Was this one of the nails in the coffin that looks like it will be the end of Bills coaching tenure at New England.We go around the NFL as little and put in our picks for the week and briefly touch on Draymond Green.Here are the picks for the week:Chargers at Raiders (-3)Drew - RaidersBob - RaidersBroncos at Lions (-4)Drew - DetroitBob - DetroitRavens (-3) at JaguarsDrew - RavensBob - JaguarsEagles (-3 1/2) at SeahawksDrew - SeattleBob - Seattle49ers (-12.5) @ CardinalsDrew - CardinalsBob - 49ers

Ok, we missed the Thursday night game. But so did the rest of the world. But we get a Monday double header. Bob surged ahead with his picks.Drew gives some free advice to Joey Merlino, celebrity from Philly. Joey, give us a call, we can help your picks. We promise.Here are the picks from this week:Seattle @ 49ers (-11)Bob - 49ersEagles at Cowboys (-3 1/2)Drew - EaglesBob - CowboysTitans at Dolphins (-13)Drew = DolphinsBob - DolphinsPackers(-6 1/2) at GiantsDrew - GiantsBob - Packers

We had some scheduling tightness but we got together to put down our thoughts for picks this week.

Drew goes firmly out on a limb and says the Chiefs will be in the Super Bowl, but only because Goodell and the NFL Front Office wants it.We make lots of picks as its Turkey Day and reasons.Then we turn our attention to the fun in the Big Ten and discuss our thoughts as to how the game turns out ad the possible fallout.

We continue our slow decline into an average prognostication abilities. Bob goes 2-3 as the 49ers seem to bounce back. Drew's Bengals kinda look pedestrian at the bottom of the AFC North, which is the toughest division in football. We go around the horn with some injury updates and we stumble around naming the Cy Young winners.

We have a disagreement about the hype surrounding Wembanyama. Drew is measuring him for his hall of fame jacket already. Bob is a bit more measured. We both go 1-3 and are looking for some bounceback this week. Follow our picks.

So Drew brings One Eyed Jack to the show and he lets the doll pick games for us. Bob continues to pick at an average pace.

We get a visit from our resident Dinosaur who doesn't pick games well and Bob nails the trivia.

We talk about some of the baseball news after Bob takes a bath on the 49ers from the previous week. Drew consoles little and says the loss will not matter in the end. Talk some other news around the league and then we get into the wild Texas baseball landscape. Then we get into our picks for the coming week and the landscape for prime time games this week really kind of suck.

Well, it looks like someone didn't hit the publish button so listen to this episode at your risk.

Ed from Strange Knights comes and joins us again. He's quite shiite at the trivia but always a fun time when he joins us. Drew picks his off-book games and Bob has an off week. Oh yeah, there was this minor game in SF this past week. How did that go?

Well, Bob is killing it on the picks. If you are rolling with Bob, you are 12-2. Drew, not so much. We talk some preview of the weekend, with Drew trying to temper some of Bob's excitement over the Cowboys-49ers Game. Then we talk some other games, and we both nail trivia. Another week here as the temps get cooler and Bob's fictional betting account gets bigger.

What an interesting weekend, A great weekend if you were a Miami fan, but not for the Cowboys. Sorry Coach Sanders, was a bad week for you too. We do look at some video that we weren't able to download and embed the video this week, so sorry, folks.

Well, Bengals go 0-2, so Drew is a little sad. 49ers are 2-0 and Bob is happy, except for that last minute "what are you thinking McVay" field goal. Carlos our NFL expert friend drops in to help us out on picking the prime time games. And speaking of Prime, we praise his coaching, even though their next game looks tough.

NFL Week 1 is in the books and we went 3-0, and Drew gives an extra win to Bob for picking the Lions outright. Then we go over what happened in Week 1, with Drew being sad about the Bengals and Bob dissing on the Cowboys win little. Then we hit some picks for Week 2 and pick 4 games (doubleheader on Monday night). Let's see if we make you money in Week 2.

We do a full dive down on what we think of the divisions and we immediately argue about the toughest division in Football. We all put the 49ers in the Superbowl, so Bob is happy.Then we do our weekly prime time picks, and no, we didn't talk about Coach Sanders, which will probably get a rant about how we are denying him his time in the spotlight.Can you outpick us?

Dallas trades for Jonath…. WTF, TREY LANCE!!!! So we talk about that. A lot. Drew takes on Spain and the kiss, or El Beso. Then we knock it out of the park on trivia.

We talk some Cowboys news, well, a little too much. Sorry, Dak. We then transition to some baseball news. Ohtani gets shut down and other news.

Ed joins the show again and we have a far ranging discussion that involves crabs, vomit, fishing, cowboys and a disgruntled former Ole Miss star.

Reports are out that Phil Mickelson wagered over a billion dollars over ten years or so, and wants to bet on the Ryder Cup. So yeah. Fights breaking out on the base path, and umpires trying to steal the show in baseball. Don't forget the coaches.

And aliens, and other things, like stories from his youth when a salt pill was all you got at football practice. We talk some crazy MLB trades and make fun of a few coaches out there. Go find Strange Knights on your favorite podcast app and subscribe to his show. He's a hoot.

Well, Barkley signs, we talk alittle USWNT soccer and a few other things. Herbert gets PAID, and some other NFL doings. We then meander for a bit down some political/medical discussions.

The summer is a lull in the action. NFL camps are barely starting, NBA FA is just background noise. MLB is out of the All-Star Break but we aren't in the playoff chase yet. So we take aim at the RB market in the NFL and Bob calls out the RBs as whiners who don't understand the current market that is driving their value, or they think they are that exception. Exceptions are rare, chances are you are not one of them, dude.

After two summer league games, Victor will get some time to rest and prepare for the real NBA season. This was the best decision, we think. What do you think? We talk little about other NBA musings and then turn to the All-Star Break. We finish with Trivia and we go 2-2. So Yeah Us!!!

Drew is heading to Florida, so we record some pre-draft speculation and discuss some possible moves for the Spurs as we are ready to pick the Alien. Yes, he is an alien, according to LeBron. We talk alittle other stuff and wrap up with horrible trivia.

We talk some NBA finals after we delve a little into some politics. Yeah, we know. We talk about the Spurs next chapter and the French Hope. We are all excited are you?

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition, and nobody expected a merge, yes a MERGER, between the big bad LIV and the PGA. But then money came into it and throw morals and your stance out the window. We talk some about Ja (sorry, Adam Silver) and then we do a short recap on the NBA Finals and Lord Stanley's Cup. Then we continue to suck at trivia. We should be better, but we are not.

We are in a limbo as we come down from a Game 7 collapse of the Celtics and haven't had game 1 of the finals yet, so we talk about, what else, auto racing. Drew and Bob go real deep on the Indy 500 and for those who are still listening, et thank you.

Now that we have secured the bestest lottery pick, and we all know who we are going to pick, what does that mean for us. We bring in our family Taylor who is pretty hot on this pick and excited. Bob throws some water on the Victor party and we talk who we want around Victor to set us up for success. Bring on an era of unbridle optimism. Sorry, Tony.

Of course, they will lose in the Wildcard Round at home, but they will win the NFC East. NFL Front Office gave a metaphorical middle finger to A-a-ron. Welcome to the AFC, Mr. Rodgers, hope you like the neighborhood

Another podcast host joins us to do a deep dive into the draft and man he knows so much more than us. He goes real deep with analysis on each round and team and player. Bob felt dumb.

Well, the world is a better place when men and women can brawl equally. Yes, women fights are a thing. Then we talk some NFL Draft and Bob and Drew disagree on Bryce Young. Bob is sorry he used the p-word to describe Mr. Young.

George "The Iceman" Gervin joins us in the studio. Drew takes him on a walk down memory lane. George was a great player, A GREAT PLAYER, but he is a much better man. He has given of himself, his time and talents to helping the youth of San Antonio. He won scoring titles in the NBA, but he outscored all of that with what he has done since. Thank you, sir.

Well, we took an impromptu week off and man did stuff happen. NCAA brackets are in tatters, hopes are dashed, but the world is ok, as Lamar Jackson and Aaron Rodgers still dominate the airwaves. We talk some initial baseball thoughts and our hopes on the new rules. Then we end with some trivia. We went a little long, but for a slow news week we had a bunch to say.
