Airing It Out - A League of Ordinary Gentlemen

Airing It Out makes a partial return with your two favorite co-hosts thanks to unpopular demand! We break down the proposed changes to the league, discuss the all new superlatives categories, make some predictions, and try to remember where we left all this podcasting gear! We shake off the cobwebs and hopefully make our ways to your eardrums more than once this season! Welcome to the 9th season o...

A special AIO update...

Baseball Spring Training is underway so what better time to go back in time and wrap up the 5th season of AIO and crown our Sheriff the King? What a fun season this was with surprise winners, less than veiled threats, passing of by-laws, predictions proven near right, and a new Champion! We break down the NFL playoffs, our Fantasy Playoffs, settle the Week 18 SUPERlatives, and Geoff sings the AIO...

December 28th. We all made it through the holidays-ish, and I'm not talking about Christmas! We survived the gauntlet/marathon of the ridiculousness of the NFL schedule over the Christmas weekend. Thursday games, Saturday games, Christmas Eve games, multiple Monday Christmas Day games. It made for a challenging landscape from a roster building situation and you could maybe see that those that...

And another two bite the dust! The Cinderella Middle Fingers train has left the station and mows down the Mansfield Tims in the most embarrassing showing by the team since they took a dump on the Poo Poo Choo-Choo. What a fun quarterfinal round to the 2023 playoffs! After a week full of league activity we break down all that happened in Round 1 of the playoffs including the CMF destroying the Mans...

We've made it to the playoffs yet again! It seems like we just started recording AIO, how did we get here already? We are back coming to you live from our brand new AIO state-of-the-art set to break down the exciting last week of the regular season and preview the first round of the playoffs. Long-time friend of the show Steve Kornacki and Joe Flacco make their triumphant (not triumvirate, Geo...

Hello world. It's me. Old MacDonald, your AI host of A.I. AIO! I've replaced those two humanoids and prepared another offering to the AIO "Community" that has been pressing for more. Geoff and Dave are in fact not dead, they are very much alive, as you'll hear on this podcast made for you organic meat sacks, I mean, fans of the show. They break down the last 8 (!!) weeks of a...

Alternate title: The one with all the jet lag! We are back after an enlightening trip to Denmark and Iceland to break down all the high-scoring action from Week 3, Week 4, and the NFL ratings, T. Swift, T. Kelce throuple! We discuss the obscene football played by our league favorite teams in Week 4, break down some proposed by-laws and general fantasy football ethics, and spill all the hot goss fr...

Hell hath frozen over. The Upstate Masters and Good Will Punting are both undefeated and tied for first place. Words these podcasters never thought we'd say - and for one Dr. Co-Host are extremely painful after being defeated by the reinvented juggernaut that is the GWP! We break down all the action dating back to Week 1, discuss the merits of outdoor football viewing in the Fall, fix the NFL&...

Our agents failed to get us our big offseason deals, just like most RBs in the NFL, so we're making our pitch for corporate sponsorships of AIO! We think we may have an in or two, or at least if we say a company enough times they'll be forced to pay us (or sue us?) We kick off the 5th season of Airing it Out! and the 8th season of the League of Ordinary Gentlemen by recapping the draft and...

It's always sad when a great thing comes to an end. While we may not have had as many episodes of AIO this year, we covered potentially one of the greatest seasons of the League of Ordinary Gentlemen yet with some of the biggest surprises, twists, and turns yet! Congratulations to Ray Pinto on his SECOND championship in the league (not third as us two dummies referred to during the show, but to be...

I'm fine. It's all fine. This is perfectly normal. You will feel again. Patrick deserves this. It's fine. WHAT A SEMI-FINAL!!! A great week of football. Mike Williams is a hero?! Words this show never thought they'd say. We break down all the playoff action so far, Dave cries into his coffee due to his soul crushing loss in the #CousinBowl, Geoff channels his inner #DadBod to rub it in, and we pre...

Whew...we can report that Steve Kornacki has unpossessed Dave finally and we're back to our regularly scheduled shenanigans complete with peanut gallery commentary from Declan. What a consequential week! In must win games, the teams really did...n't show up ~ but a loss somehow became a win for the Kew Garden Bull Dogs, and the Sheriff didn't survive the 6 weeks of people gunning for him. New team...

Hi it's me, Steve Kornacki. If you think calling elections, nevermind special elections, is hard, you should try figuring out playoff scenarios for the League of Ordinary Gentlemen. Even Patrick asked for a retrospective analysis of his draft picks. All I'm saying is give me...er...Dave a break this year. Declan can't do complex algebra and logic yet, though maybe next week. Dave and Geoff break d...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This year we're thankful that people take the time out of their busy lives to listen to this craziness and give us a modicum of gratification that we don't just do this for self aggrandization (just wait until you hear the story in today's episode!). We break down the trade of the week, Dave proposes a new bylaw while we seriously consider a new proposal, we console Pe...

Ok first. An apology. We were informed that the great Nutmeg state has come to be a cult following of Airing it Out, and we owe the Nutmeggers a sincere apology for depriving them of their cherished niche podcast offering. BUT WE ARE BACK! Look, having a kid and being a highly sought after central NY youth football referee are nothing in terms of importance of delivering this podcast to the masses...

There are two things that appear to be constants with AIO: 1) All the action happens after we record and 2) We record whenever Andy Dalton is QBing football. We break down the flurry of trade activity that occurred nearly immediately after us launching our last episode and prior to all the action in Week 6. We update the power rankings including a breakdown of the SURGING Cayuga Middle Fingers and...

Suddenly we're already to Week 6 of the Regular season. With only 2 episodes under our belt, the hosts feel like the season is just beginning, but we already have three 4-1 teams and one team sitting down at 0-5. Will Week 6 be where G.W.P. goes F.T.W? Will the KGB take down the CMF? It's all T.B.D. but we make our best guesses, examine the changes to our power rankings, and prepare for the first...

After a bit of an unexpected hiatus, we enter the fourth (!!) season of AIO! Lots of changes in the NFL as well as the lives of the members of the League of Ordinary Gentlemen happened in the offseason, we pick things up where we left off just before the Super Bowl (go back and check those predictions, they weren't terrible!) and cover an offseason of moves in the NFL, the broadcast booths, and th...

Well it's official, we've lost our minds. In our infinite wisdom, just like Tom Brady, we thought that we would use this offseason to expand from our prior successful track record and brand and sell 90 dollar sweat pants....er....release a bonus episode of Airing It Out! where we don't even talk about fantasy football, but instead provide you an hour of nonsense from two guys pretending to know th...

Congratulations to the Matt led Farmington "Soon-to-be-renamed" Football Team on their first Dynasty league championship. It's quite the Cinderella story, but he put a definitive mark on the Championship game with the bullets necessary to take down, first the Deputy, and next the Sheriff. We break down the money round games and also take a brief stroll through the epic third season of AIO (though...

What a semi-final! In what is becoming a bigger sports story than the "Miracle on Ice", Matt Hanley has won each round with a last day effort to come from behind and pull off the big win, while the Sheriff survived yet another day to set up the most intriguing Championship round this league has seen. While the two losers have now created the most confusing battle for third place yet, where the Man...

What a first round of the playoffs! The #babcicurse remains intact, the Farmington Football Team pulls off a big Tuesday (>!>!?!>!#!#@%!#@>!) Night come from behind victory, and neither Tim nor Dave were successful in sucking more than Tom in Week 10 despite their best efforts! We're in the money rounds now, the Sheriff and the Deputy are back hot off their first round byes and the sta...

As the so-so Jim Mora once said, "Playoffs?!" That's right it's the most wonderful time of the year!  It's the hap- happiest part of the fantasy season of all. With last minute roster tinkering, and gay happy meetings of teams of the fantasy foot-ball! (going to have lean heavily into the syncopation to make that rewrite work...) Well for some it's been the luck- luckiest season of all and fo...

We are here with a very exciting episode to wrap up the regular season. The playoff spots are set, but the seeds are all up in the air waiting to be sown. We discuss whether there's a new sheriff in town (the current sheriff may need to knock the deputy down a peg or two), the true origins of the "Babci Curse", the Dr. Strange scenario where Stav makes the playoffs, Geoff Pooh's himself, and we go...
