All Sports Are Bad

In our first podcast of 2019 we debut our first annual San Diego Padres Power Rankings. And I know what you're thinking, and it's not a power rankings of Padres players. It is a rankings list of the most generic, uninteresting, irrelevant franchises in sports today named after the most iconic generic, uninteresting, irrelevant franchise in sports history. It's a whole lot of fun. We also touch on the NFL playoffs and dive into MLB's disturbing salary situation. Also Patrick spilled a beer and it wasn't very fun for him.

In this final episode of 2018 we open it up by dragging and hyping some NBA players. Have you ever wondered if we like Gordon Hayward? Well spoiler alert: We don't like Gordon Hayward. And we'll tell you why! We also hype Toronto Kawhi, who is out here thriving professionally. Our main topic is the ridiculousness of the College Football Playoffs system and why it's incredibly not good. We also get into what sports leagues have the best playoff structures and why, among many other things.

In Episode 6 we discuss the Baseball Hall of Fame and how undeniably dumb it is, and always has been, and why it kinda doesn't matter either way. We also dive into the MLB Winter Meetings and more specifically what the hell is Scott Boras even talking about? And last but not least we've joined the rest of the baseball twitter world this week by dragging Babe Ruth relentlessly. Listen, he just wasn't that good. Okay?

In this episode we react to the incredibly horrifying situation in the National Football League surrounding Kareem Hunt and dive further into the NFL's deeply problematic cultures of violence, bigotry, and the denial of CTE. We also discuss the economics behind stadium-building in professional sports as well as the never ending shit show that is the Seattle Mariners offseason.

In episode 4 we've found ourselves in a similar position: being upset at racist ass baseball because they're up to their old tricks again. This time we react to the San Francisco Giants' majority shareholder Charles Johnson's donation to Cindy Hyde Smith. We also get into the NBA, discussing the Nuggets, Lakers, Vucevic, and the Sixers. And it's fake rivalry week in Seattle! We discuss the overall sadness of the maybe nonexistent 49ers/Seahawks rivalry, and much more.

It's Thanksgiving! So naturally we're drinking and podcasting. On this episode we're a bit all over the place. We start off discussing the Mariners' ongoing situation, and then we dip into the NBA where we admittedly drag Dwight Howard a bit too much. Along the way we cover the dysfunctional predicament the Wizards have gotten themselves into, as well as Zion Williamson. The NFL becomes our main topic of the night: Patrick talks about his Peyton Manning fandom, and immediately denounces said fandom. Jake talks about the economics behind NFL salaries, and the problematic ways these aspects are viewed by fans. And a whole lot more!

On our second episode of All Sports Are Bad we react to the deeply disturbing news regarding the Mariners and Dr. Lorena Martin, diving further into baseball's problematic culture and its fans who aggressively support said problematic culture. On a lighter note, we also talk about the NBA! Specifically the Nuggets and Bucks!

In episode 1 we dive into MLB Free Agency, address rumors of the possibility of a Mariners firesale, and maybe a little bit about A-Rod's centaur paintings.
