Men in Blazers helped grow soccer in America at an important time in evolution of sports analysis and entertainment through new channels. By betting on the growth of podcasts they were early in the adoption curve. By aligning with Grantland, Roger Bennett and Michael Davies were on the leading edge of new approaches to merging short and long form sports stories. In other words, Men in Blazers wasn't just an early litmus test for the changing appetite around soccer in America, but also for the rapidly changing sports media landscape. Andrew Bucholtz has been covering sports media and MIB for Awful Announcing since 2012. He joined the show to share his perspective on how Men in Blazers' rise mirrored key changes in the media landscape. Bucholtz talked about the growth of podcasts and new media, reflected on the importance of aligning to Grantland and more. Founding Futbol is a year-long exploration of the critical moments that have led to soccer's emerging popularity in America.

James Brown joined us on location at the Blue Wire Studios at the Wynn in Vegas. We talked about CBS' coverage of the Super Bowl and all of the charities James is involved with. We talked about his great interview with Michael Vick from back in the day when he asked, ‘what about the dogs, what about the dogs?' JB claims to have gotten drunk on popcorn dipped in bourbon. JB confirms that Phil Simms wears his wife's glasses. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with Jalen Brunson injuring his ankle late in last night's win against the Grizzlies. Kyrie returns to Brooklyn as the Mavs beat the Nets. A fan asked Kyrie why he didn't play this well in Brooklyn and he blamed Mayor Adams. There was a man walking around naked in a Florida airport. Rutgers beat Maryland and Jerry won $1,000 from Boomer. Chris Russo had Clark Hunt on his radio show and asked him about Andy Reid retiring. Boomer said we are in the MAHOMES era of the NFL. The Moment of The Day involves Al chasing down SAQUON Barkley in the hotel and Boomer doing his best KADARIUS Toney impression. In the final segment of the show, Awful Announcing posted that James Brown confirmed Phil Simms wears lady glasses. We are heading over to Drew Barrymore's show right after this show is over. Boomer wonders what Shane Gillis will do on SNL. Gio said he might be a fraud on Drew Barrymore's show and act like he loves the Taylor Swift/Travis KELCE relationship.

Hour 1 We are live from Vegas for Super Bowl week. Bad news for the Knicks as Jalen Brunson turned his right ankle late in the game last night against the Grizzlies. Kyrie was asked by a fan last night in Brooklyn why he didn't play this way with the Nets and he blamed Mayor Adams. Boomer loved that he took a shot at the Mayor as he has no control of the city. Gio said Kyrie did a lot of strange things in his tenure with the Nets that had nothing to do with the Mayor and the vaccines. Gio said he also got suspended for being an anti semite, are we forgetting about that? Randy Moss tweeted, ‘Someone got Moss'd' after Al confused the Hall of Famer with horse racing broadcaster, Randy Moss. That was the big Super Bowl story from Tuesday. Eddie walked to UNLV to get a t-shirt yesterday. It was a 6 mile round trip. Jerry is here for his first update and starts with Rutgers beating Maryland, so Boomer owes Jerry $1,000 cash. If Maryland won, Jerry would have had to eat a gummy. We heard from Chris Carlin on the call. Boomer, Gio and Jerry are golfing today and it's going to be cold. The Knicks beat the Grizzlies but we hear the play by play of when Jalen Brunson injured his ankle. Boomer thinks Mike Breen is doing more Knicks games because they're winning. Kyrie Irving returned to Brooklyn and a fan asked why he didn't play like this with the Nets and he blamed Mayor Adams. Joe Buck was on a podcast and thinks something bad will happen this week and it won't stay in Vegas. Gio thinks because it's Vegas, the teams and players are on high alert about not doing something stupid. Buck SHOWALTER was on the Jon Heyman podcast and talked about load management. He is not a fan. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer was the subject of a lot of interviews yesterday as part of CBS media day for the Super Bowl. Tony ROMO talked about sports gambling and said it makes the game feel less pure. Gio doesn't agree with that. Jim NANTZ said his favorite food is stone crab. Second favorite is popcorn. He also eats a hotdog at halftime of every game he does, but brings his own bottled ketchup. Boomer remembers a time doing a game with NANTZ where they had to stop by McDonalds on their way to the game.  Hour 2 We are taping a segment with Drew Barrymore today that will air later in the week. They will be commenting on a new fashion trend for me, gigantic butts. Gio would not get butt implants but he would get fat sucked out of his man boobs. We don't know a single man who is trying to get a bigger butt. Sports books in the middle of the day, with only horse racing on, is a sad spot. SAQUON Barkley just walked by and Al went chasing him down but his agent said ‘absolutely not'. Gio said LeBron has a mangled foot, particularly his pinky toe. Gio said he should cut it off and put it up on auction. Jerry returns for an update and starts with celebrities congratulating Clyde Frazier and Mike Breen for 25 years of Knicks coverage. The Knicks beat the Grizzlies but Jalen Brunson twisted an ankle late in the game. Kyrie, Luka and the Mavs had no problem in Brooklyn. Kyrie said he felt like he was home and he's made peace with his time with the Nets. The Raptors have a player with the last name Dick, and the Pelicans broadcasters couldn't handle it. Rutgers beat Maryland and Jerry has audio from Chris Carlin on the call. John Minko was on the call as St. John's beat DePaul. Shannon Sharpe and Ochocinco are close to a million subscribers and want to drink cognac down the back when that happens. In the final segment of the hour, Jim Rome is leaving CBS Sports Network for X. Rome will join Tucker Carlson as a host over there. Tucker interviewed Vladimir Putin which is sure to upset some people. The mayor of Las Vegas doesn't seem to want the A's to move here. Boomer said it's a done deal, they are moving to Vegas. Eventually an NBA team will come to Vegas.  Hour 3 It's been a quiet week so far in Vegas which is good for both teams involved. Boomer said both teams are staying 20 miles or so outside of the city. Coach COWHER told a story about putting in a defense the night before the Super Bowl that they used 39 times in the game against Seattle. Hines Ward was the MVP in that Super Bowl. Tory Holt is up for the Hall and Boomer says it's his time. There is a log jam at WR in Hall nominees right now. We went through some of the guys up for the Hall of Fame. We talked about James Brown's entourage. He is scheduled to come on at 9am with us. Boomer talked about all the stuff James has to do for the NFL Today every week. Jerry is here for an update and James Brown's entourage is at six so far. Jerry starts with celebrities congratulating Clyde and Mike Breen on 25 years together. Jalen Brunson turned an ankle late in the game. Kyrie Irving returned to Brooklyn as the Mavericks beat the Nets. Kyrie talked about why things failed here with him. He said he had to take some moral stances. Somebody asked Brock Purdy about looking like Lee Harvey Oswald. Rutgers beat Maryland last night and Jerry has clips of Chris Carlin on the call. Buck SHOWALTER is not a fan of analytics and explained why. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about CBS' Super Bowl setup including the ‘doink' cam. Gio has strong Taylor Swift takes but seems to be holding back. Now she's taking heat for not giving an RIP to Toby Keith since he was instrumental in her career. Boomer said you have no idea what she has said to his family privately.                                                          Hour 4 James Brown joined us on location at the Blue Wire Studios at the Wynn in Vegas. We talked about CBS' coverage of the Super Bowl and all of the charities James is involved with. We talked about his great interview with Michael Vick from back in the day when he asked, ‘what about the dogs, what about the dogs?' JB claims to have gotten drunk on popcorn dipped in bourbon. JB confirms that Phil Simms wears his wife's glasses. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with Jalen Brunson injuring his ankle late in last night's win against the Grizzlies. Kyrie returns to Brooklyn as the Mavs beat the Nets. A fan asked Kyrie why he didn't play this well in Brooklyn and he blamed Mayor Adams. There was a man walking around naked in a Florida airport. Rutgers beat Maryland and Jerry won $1,000 from Boomer. Chris Russo had Clark Hunt on his radio show and asked him about Andy Reid retiring. Boomer said we are in the MAHOMES era of the NFL.

Hour 1 Aaron Rodgers was on with Pat McAfee and said Jimmy Kimmel is nervous about the Epstein list being revealed. Boomer said that is a defamation of character and if he were Kimmel he would sue him. Gio said the Jets have to get him off of McAfee. Boomer was not expecting this as a topic today. C-Lo is in for Jerry and is here for his first update, but first we continued talking about Rodgers vs Kimmel. C-Lo has the actual audio of Rodgers mentioning Kimmel. The Jets are parting ways with Dalvin Cook and giving him a chance to join a playoff team. Panthers owner David Tepper was fined $300K for throwing a drink on a Jaguars fan. The Rangers lost to the Hurricanes 6-1 at the Garden. In the final segment of the hour, Cam Soda has offered $100K to the woman who was seen flashing her chest on Bourbon Street on ESPN during the Sugar Bowl broadcast. How much would it take you to go on a webcam, naked, for an hour. Boomer is thinking of muting Peter Schwartz on Twitter.  Hour 2 Gio wants the Jets/Patriots game to be important but it won't be. Nothing is changing with the Jets. Saleh and Douglas are coming back and Aaron Rodgers will be the quarterback. Boomer thinks there will be changes with the coaching staff underneath the coordinators. Will this be Bill Belichick's last game as Head Coach of the Patriots? Who has anything to play for in a Jets uniform? We've seen business decisions being made by players like Sauce Gardner.Will we get a Bill Belichick moment exiting Foxborough for the last time? A caller is going to the game in a black suit, treating it as a funeral for Belichick. There are a bunch of teams this week with a ‘win and in' situation. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with the history of Jimmy Kimmel vs Aaron Rodgers. Bill Belichick will tell you his future on ‘MyFace'. Zion Williamson, ‘looks like a guy that eats too much'. In the final segment of the hour, the best game of the weekend coming up is Bills/Dolphins on Sunday night. Other than the Browns, Gio doesn't think another team could go on an ‘improbable run'.  Hour 3 Al tells a story of a guy on a bike attacking his car at 4am this morning. He punched and kicked his car in anger. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with audio from Spike Eskin on the Awful Announcing podcast. He was asked about replacing Boomer when he decides to retire. C-Lo has audio of Jimmy Kimmel calling Aaron Rodgers a ‘whack-packer'. In the final segment of the hour, a band called Ill Minds sent us some hoodies to play one of their songs. A caller doesn't like that Boomer said ‘idiots in Suffolk County'.  Hour 4 The big topic today has been Aaron Rodgers saying Jimmy Kimmel doesn't want the Epstein list revealed, and Kimmel threatening to sue him. Both McAfee and Kimmel are owned by ABC/Disney. Callers react to Rodgers vs Kimmel. Wink Martindale connects with the players, but isn't the healthiest looking guy. C-Lo returns for an update but first Boomer wants to know what ‘Mr. Pfizer' thinks of this Aaron Rodgers stuff. Gio wonders how BT and Sal will handle this topic today. Rodgers also had a conspiracy about the colors for Super Bowl logos. The Moment of The Day involves Al's car getting attacked and what would happen if Eddie was attacked on the streets of NYC. In the final segment of the show, Boomer got Al a police baton and we practiced on a wooden box and a dummy head of a masked wrestler.

Spike Eskin was a guest on a podcast and talked about replacing Boomer when he retires.
