    <![CDATA[<p>It was an interesting week in the NCAA. The Bulldogs won as usual, but for some reason Ohio State is #1 in the country. Bama beating LSU makes things interesting in the SEC. Josh Dobbs was the hero in the win over the Falcons. Jay isn't too happy about it and explains his frustrations. 58 yards is all Cleveland gave up against the Cardinals. We break it all down.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Across the NCAA and NFL, there were some ugly wins this week. For us, it was the Falcons. The Browns had a high scoring, but it just ended up close. Ohio State-Penn State was ugly. Washington-Arizona State. Tennessee was bad just cause they blew it. We talk about all of these and our views on Brock Purdy.</p>]]>

We did talk the Braves cutting it close and tying the series, shake ups in college football and what we want to see happen, and the Falcons winning. Browns have Niners next off the bye. Gib is worried because the Niners look unstoppable and Watson is still questionable to play. </p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Before we get to football, the Braves are 6 games away from the end of the season. How will our pitching do in the post season? NCAA was full of a lot of good games this weekend and some disappointments. Georgia played great. Colorado got smashed. Notre Dame and Ohio State came all the way down to the end. We have our views on that. In the NFL, Dolphins look unstoppable. Browns look like they are getting it together on offense. Falcons offensive line needs help. What is the deal with Justin Fields? We talk about it all.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Jay is pumped up because the Falcons looked great on Sunday. They got down, but in the fourth quarter Ridder brought them back. There's great promise for this team at 2-0. Gib, on the other hand, is slightly depressed because the Browns did not impress. We talk our views on what the issues are. We do go through the rest of the NFL. NCAA was a good week too. Saw lots of blowouts and some close games. Colorado-Colorado State was a great game to round out the weekend.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>The NFL is back even if it is just the preseason. Its good to see the sport we love back on tv. Falcons and Browns looked good in their respective games, even though the Browns lost. We talk about what we saw from this past weekend, good and bad. Plus predict records this season. On a side note, James Harden is big mad. We think it is nothing and could be for the better for both parties.</p>]]>

What is going on with all of these injuries in the NFL? They aren't even playing with pads on.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Happy birthday to Jay! He gets another year older, but not too bad. He is still good to be on here. Aaron Rodgers to the Jets, OBJ in free agency, and the Lamar Jackson situation. It's the last of the NFL free agency. At least for now. March Madness is in full effect. Plenty of upsets and we love it. Now we get the good games here. How far will Princeton end up going?</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>What a weekend. Saw two competitive games, a blow out, and an unlikely upset. Mahomes made things happen even after injury. He stuck through it and got the dub. Jalen Hurts showed us that the Eagles are ready and do not know what rust is. Joe. Shiesty. Man did hat no one expected and said to send them refunds. Brock didn't play his best game, but he wasn't a liability. Cowboys all around are pissed and questioning Dak.</p>]]>

Brock and the Niners were the only blowout during the weekend. Jags blew us all away with that comeback. Giants gave us the upset that no one was surprised about. Dak and the Cowboys finished it off with a blowout of the Bucs on Monday. What do the guys have to say about it all?</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Welcome to 2023! It started off with a scary scene. Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest on the field and went to the emergency room. No one has seen anything like that. Our prayers go out to him and his family.</p>

<p>To a happier note, the Browns won and Deshaun keeps looking better. Next season will be something special. The playoffs are getting set and the race for the top seeds in the AFC and NFC are close. Who will win it? </p>

<p>The Dawgs barely beat Ohio State and are off to defend their title against TCU. Will they do better this time?</p>

<p>The NBA is starting to get interesting and the guys debate who is better: Luka or Tatum?</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>We promised NBA this week, but that will have to wait until next time. Dansby is gone. He made his way to the Cubs. It makes sense and Atlanta will always love him. Where does that put us for next season?</p>

<p>Deshaun and the Browns got an ugly win, but how does Gib feel about it? The Falcons lost, but Ridder showed some potential. How does Jay feel about it? Plus how far will Brock Purdy take the Niners?</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>The Braves decided to trade our back up catcher and top pitching prospects for another catcher. It does not fix anything at left field or shortstop, but hey lets see where it goes. Speaking of Atlanta, the Desmond Ridder Experience starts this weekend. We believe he can win out and maybe get the Falcons the division. Deshaun Watson lost to the Bengals, but he looked much better than the week before and is making strides. Even if Cleveland does not make the playoffs, next year they will be a force to be reckoned with.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Episode 52 aka the Ray Lewis episode. Deshaun Watson returned to the field this past week. Glad to see him on the field, but not the best performance. There is some rust, but that will be gone soon. The Falcons could not beat the Steelers for some reason and we ask why. What are the Braves doing so far in the offseason? No big moves have been made and we have holes in the lineup. Also, Gib is on the Brock Purdy train and wants it to keep rolling.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>What a week of upsets in college football. Ohio State goes down, LSU goes down, and Clemson goes down. These upsets came at the right time to set the championship games and give us a better look at the playoff picture.</p>

<p>The Browns survived 11 games and the day we have all been waiting for comes up this week. The boys are ready for this one.</p>

<p>USA beats Iran and we move out of the group stage in the World Cup! This is a huge deal for all of us. Netherlands is up next. </p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>The Big 5-0! We never thought we would have made it this far, but here we are. Just a heads up, this is the longest episode we have ever done. We start today with our boys in Qatar. We are pumped that the US is in the World Cup. We did not win, but we had a draw against Wales. We venture our way into college football and how the playoffs stack up. Then, as usual, we finish off with the NFL.</p>]]>

<p>Two theories are discussed in length today: The Carolina Panthers Theory and The Gib Terwilliger Hair Theory. They are very interesting and may blow your mind.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Big wins for both sides and both were divisional wins. Browns beat the Bengals and the Falcons beat the Panthers. All is well and happy with the Average Guys today. Myles Garrett is a freak of nature and Nick Chubb has very large legs. Falcons sit at #1 in the NFC South but almost let Carolina go from fourth to first.</p>

<p>We are out talking college football along with the NFL. How do we see the top 10? What do we think the final four will be? Plus we have a live reaction to the new AP poll. It is not what we expected, but Jay loves it.</p>]]>

Outside of that it has been the NLDS loss for the Braves, back to back losses for the Browns, and a loss to the Bengals for the Falcons. Gib is very upset and so is Jay but he gets a laugh from Gib's anger. </p>

<p>What should the Braves do in the offseason? Where did the Browns go wrong? How did the Falcons get beat that bad? The guys talk about it all.</p>]]>

<p>The NFL season is getting closer and closer. Training camps have started. Julio is on the move and Jay loves/hates it. Kyler got a strange clause in his contract. No Deshaun Watson ruling, but we have to be getting close. </p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Episode 27! Had a week off due to Gib's travels all over the place, but here nonetheless with more for you. We start with the Braves. We love them but they are frustrating like the Falcons and Browns. We still have hope and always will.</p>

<p>We are down to the Conference Finals. Who was right in our past predictions and whose predictions will come true? Jay is on it today and is not having Gib's shit. Who will make it to the Finals?</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>WE ARE BACK! After a few month hiatus because of quarantine and sports being on hold, we finally go back in front of the mic.</p> <p>The main topic to start with has to be that Mahomes. As we and Marshawn Lynch always say, "Gotta protect ya chicken!" We make our way into the other exciting topic of Brady to the Bucs. It was one of the choices we talked about but wasn't our favorite. Our rants in getting carried away with the NFL happen too.</p> <p>The NBA is back in action. We give our predictions on the first two games and how they will play out. How will the teams stack up? We touch on how the Lakers and Clippers will match up and how the stack against the other teams. As usual our rants take us in all directions to every team in the NBA.</p> <p>Have a listen! We look forward to putting out more episodes consistently.</p>]]>

How does everything change with a big quarterback shuffle? The NFC South will be different with Teddy Bridgewater and Tom Brady in it now. Philip Rivers and Nick Foles round out the quarterbacks who have new teams. The other large free agency question that hasn't been resolved: Where will Cam Newton go? </p>]]>

Will the young guys stay at their respective teams or move on? How much with this shake up the league?</p> <p>Venture back over to the NBA. With a great showing at Portland but still only a few games to assess, what should we expect out of Zion for the rest of the season and for years to come? </p> <p> The last of the main topics is how three players scoring 25+ ppg got snubbed from the All Star game. THese are Bradley Beal, Devin Booker, and Zac Lavine.</p>]]>
