Episode Show Notes
First, George and Mike discuss the crazy first two weeks of the college football season. To do this, your favorite sports genius’ welcome a former high school classmate of Mike’s, Pittsburgh Central Catholic and Kent State legend Eugene Jarvis to the HBS. Is the SEC still the best conference in the country? How much better is Alabama than everyone else? Will the Big 12 be left out of the college football playoff? Which elite program can rebound after suffering an early season loss? The trio plays the always fun game of “contender or pretender?” while Mike plays defense attorney for Notre Dame.
The final hour of the show focuses on the incredibly popular and incredibly asinine professional variety, the National Football League. Neal Coolong, Senior Editor of NFL sites with USA Today, joins the program. Before analyzing any play on the field, the show takes a more serious turn with a debate of Colin Kaepernick’s protest over the national anthem. Has Kaepernick’s message been successful? Would his message have been better coming from someone else? Did socks depicting police as pigs, social media posts, and explanations to the media inadvertently hinder his message?
Despite an off-season of controversy and being without Le’Veon Bell for three weeks, what are reasonable expectations for the Steelers this season? Even with Tom Brady’s absence for four games, are the Patriots still the team to beat? Can Denver’s defense carry the Broncos to a title defense? Will this finally be the year the Raiders put it together and reach the playoffs? Who will miss their injured quarterback less, Dallas or Minnesota? Is Green Bay overrated at all? Who is the favorite of the forever bizarre NFC East? George, Mike, and Neal give their postseason and Super Bowl predictions. Unfortunately, their predictions are quite similar.
Enjoy another entertaining and surely dramatic year of football as the Howitzer and Buzz-saw conquer sports radio, one day, at a time….
