Nat, Mike and Dan are getting pretty worked up about the Superbowl but even more worked up about the fact that it was Dan's birthday just a few days ago, the Oscars are coming up and Nat's hosting the Superbash this year. Aside from that it's just business as usual with Pappy Dan making a welcome return and does everyone hate the Bruins? In other news: It’s a Giants, Patriots Superbowl for the sec...

Nat, Mike and Dan are reunited thanks to Nat getting the hell out of Lakeside and back to Camden. He seems pretty much unchanged, although his drinking action is a bit smoother... In other news: Broncos sent home without their supper, maybe because Tebow was just one big injury; the Saints lose a thriller leading to quite a few folks to change their Superbowl pick; the Ravens hold on to an early l...

In other news: Wildcard weekend has been and gone and Tebow has done the jesus thing again – an 80 yard pass from the first play of overtime; busted Ben hobbled to...

They're back, baby: Nat. Mike and Dan shake off the sleepiness of the post (festive) season and dive into some serious sports action, along with some pretty accurate musings on player education.   In other news: The regular NFL season is TOAST – very, very burnt toast, covered in disappointing margerine for some but the jam (jelly?) of hope for others; Green Bay and the 49ers get the byes in the N...

Nat and Dan have got themselves so tied up in work and Christmas shennanigans that it's down to Mike and Harry to serve up a seasonal treat: a few bits and bobs from the last year that they want to hear again, along with some musings from Mike. Don't worry, he took Harry's mic off him at the start of recording. In other news: Mike gets poetic; Dan's superhero origin-story; Nat calls in to send his...

Nat, Mike and Dan will drink your style down straight, no chaser, but sometimes they get bored of style and go looking for substance. No, not around the back of Lidl, they look for the things which really matter, the big questions: what power will TT be granted this week? Who's next up in the big job at Miami? And will they hire Condi Rice to take over Special Teams? In other news: DENVER WIN AGAI...

Nat, Mike and Dan are hard men. Hard, brute, dangerous men. The only thing that can can do them damage in any way is either ice-skating or Curtis Painter's moonshine. Probably shouldn't have told you that. In other news: God bless Tim Tebow AGAIN. He rallies the Broncos to another amazing victory against the Vikings. Tebow throws for 200 yards and two passing touchdowns; Matt Schaub-less Texans wo...

With Nat away repairing his secret underground lair this week, Mike and Dan turn to other distractions. They're a literary pair, they read books and everything, yeah? Except Dan says he doesn't. This proves no bar to enjoying their company of this week's guest. Please welcome Guggenheim fellow, New Jersey native and 49-er's fan: the celebrated American poet August Kleinzahler. In other news: Augus...

In other news: JC loves TT! Tebow proves that God does exist by playing terribly and still beating the hapless Jets; Jay Cutler heaps mor...

Nat, Mike and Dan love sports more than anything. They love the hack and slash of fierce competition, the division of winners from losers, victors from vanquished, Bradys from Tebows. That's why this week after the usual sporting goodness there's a look at who's got the stones to take on Obama in a year's time to be Pro Bowl... Sorry, the next Curtis Painter of the United States. In other news: Aa...

Mike and Dan welcome Nat back in classic Americarnage style: they disagree with pretty much everything he says. Nat fights back with the elevator pitch to end all elevator pitches...

Mike is in the Chair of Power tonight for Aliterationcarnage and has the pleasure of lording it over Dan and friend of the show Marek Larwood, who brings a film crew and the iron determination to become a Detroit Lion. Meanwhile, Nat will be back next  week because he has to take care of family business. Not the interesting Italian kind. In other news: Nat picked right and the Cards won the World...

Mike, Nat and Dan have had the most football-packed week they've ever had thanks in part to the International Series game at Wembley; they've seen more games than Curtis Painter's had completed passes. Wait a minute...

Nat , Mike and Dan know how great they are. People often stop them in the street with the words 'you're a great...' yet it hasn't gone to their heads. They still humbly realise there are still votes to be cast in the Podcast Awards 2011... http://podcastawards.com/ In other news: Matt Ryan is the latest quarterback to realise he isn't as good as Aaron Rodgers; the Bills sent the Eagles to 1-4, mak...

Nat, Mike and Dan know what they like. They like sports, they like beer, they like Curtis Painter... Kind of, anyway.

In other news: Tony Romo looks strangely like a quarterback; Baltimore defence make history; the Eagles keep blowing it; if space is infinite, why can'tthe Dolphins find any? MLB comes to a head and...

Nat, Mike and Dan have so much to say that sometimes they just can't wait. This is raw, man-on-man-on-man vocal combat and to the victor go the spoils. The spoils are mainly snickers bars and bragging rights but when was that not enough? In other news: The Bills win the Superbowl! Psyche. They do shed a 15 game losing streak against the Pats by coming back against all odds though, despite Brady st...

Mike and Nat are joined by friend of the show and man who never sleeps Phil - The Producer - Spooner who takes Dan's seat while Hollywood mourns the Manningless Colts' opening week. Sadly he's powerless to stop the greatest density of plugs in the show's storied annals. That's how you spell it, right? In other news: The NFL season is well and truly open with upsets a-plenty and one less Manning; R...

Carlson returns from his fortnight of drinking ditchwater and roasting squirrels, and takes to the host’s chair.

In other news: Peyton Manning's neck is still giving him millions of d...

While the Nat's away... Coombs is absent but has a note so Mike slips into the still-warm host chair and by popular demand he and Dan are joined by the master of sports production and Americarnage's first ever repeat-guest, Erik Janssen. More worryingly, they're also joined by Vladimir Putin who outlines his views on the London riots and tackles the NBA round-up.   In other news: Breakfast cereals...
