Bring The Pain

In the latest episode of Bring the Pain, I joined a ton of video game enthusiasts in honoring National Video Game Day. Hear tons of my stories as I take you all on a walk through the decades of gaming I have done with my family and friends. This was a fun episode that ran a little longer than I thought it would, but when I get going about video games, you'll never know when I'll shut up. Luckily,...

In the latest episode of Bring the Pain, I decided to hold back the painbringer so that I could offer this podcast to all of my supporters. A recent phone call may have brought the inner jerk out in me as I recall that moment and talk about many other calls that I have received from spammers. I have a story that will make you think and also wonder why we have to put up with this stuff. There's no...

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I continue my Hometown Series by having Ryan on, who is one of two hosts for the 814 Spotlight podcast, here in Erie. Being a sports guy, Ryan has some very strong stances being a Browns fan, but normally, he is at home honing his craft for the stage. Being a local podcaster who wanted to share his love and passion for the stage, Ryan created his podcast in hopes...

In the latest episode of Bring the Pain, I wanted to stop mezzin around and go for the biscuits by having my friend Anthony on. Anthony is best known for his Ace Mez name online, in which you can find videos and posts about how much fun he has with his family and friends. From Las Vegas to long days at the job, Mez and I share a few things in the common, which is listening to podcasts. Hear how we...

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I reveal the players who have won the first ever Painbringer IDP awards. With so many seasonal and dynasty IDP league drafts going on right now, you'll want to know who the top players at each position were. Some of the players that won might surprise you, and that doesn't mean the other players should be discredited. Outside of a few touchdowns by one of the pla...

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I talk about things I see on the internet and weigh in with some comments meant to help inspire many. I will support and go to battle for my painbringers, but sometimes others don't get the sort that they deserve. Others are also unseen and just starting out, which means they will need all the support we can give them. That's why I wanted to bring up this topic b...

In this post mortem episode of Bring the Pain, I talk about the life of my brother, Tom. What some used to see as a good life for him, there were demons that he had to battle every day. Growing up with him was fun, and like all brothers, we shared differences at times. That never defined our true brotherhood as we both looked out for each other at certain times in our lives. Hear my stories from v...

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I loaded up some more VGM tracks in dedication to my brother Toms' passing. Since I have been getting myself back into musical episodes, I thought that starting the weekend off right was in order. It's no stranger that I'm still grieving from his loss on Monday, but the last thing we talked about was my recent episode in which I covered VGM for the 3DO. I told To...

In the latest episode of Bring the Pain, I start diving into an off-season draft strategy that some may consider insane. Shenanigans aside, you would be surprised how Linebackers match up against Tight Ends and how similar they are in scoring. Does that mean you should value a linebacker like Terrel Bernard over David Njoku? Hear my thoughts as we dive deep into this draft strategy that could be t...

In the latest episode of Bring the Pain, I step back into the realm of VGM and cover one of my favorite systems, the Panasonic 3DO. Being so expensive when it first came out, the 3DO didn't last long after the Playstation came. Some games that came out on this system were trendsetting, while others left something to be desired. One thing the 3DO did right was give us CD quality sounding music that...

In the latest episode of Bring the Pain, I talk about the recent Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.

From start to finish, the battle sending this juggernaut of a match up to overtime. Hear my thoughts as well as other great new...

In the latest episode of Bring the Pain, there wasn't going to be a way to give out my normal lineups and format. So, I changed it up so that I could feature the showdown slate. My normal rundown of players will be substituted to talk about players you can feel confident about in your captain spot. With some players having bloated salaries, you'll need at least one contrarian player to help elevat...

In the latest episode of Bring the Pain, I talk about the upcoming Super Bowl between the Chiefs and the Niners. Since I have already talked about the big game, I go over my thoughts and game theory quickly before moving on to some bets.

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I have fellow staff member Jeremy on to talk about some of the defensive players that declared for this year's NFL draft. We decided to highlight three players that not only have made a name for themselves but also have great nicknames to go with it. Using a standard IDP scoring system, we talk about how these players add up to some of the pros and where we could...

In the latest episode of Bring the Pain, I kick it old school and decide to bring the music, with an episode dedicated to shoot-em up games. Being part of a video game music community, it has allowed me to meet some amazing people who share the same passion in life and gaming. This all started when an Erie native, the Messenger, posted his podcast, A VGM Journey, on a mutual website. From there, I...

On the latest episode of Bring the Pain, I wanted to cover two topics that are all over the sports industry right now. At first, I brought up Taylor Swift and why I don't mind her attending football games at all. For me, I think it's great for the game, and maybe once you hear my thoughts, you might agree. After that, I bring up the recent scandal involving the NFFC and their recent tournament tha...

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I talk about the recent passing of Carl Weathers. Weathers was an amazing actor who was best-known for Apollo Creed for the Rocky series. Outside of his iconic role as Apollo, Weathers was also recently featured in the Mandalorian series on Disney Plus, in which he played a pivotal character named Greef Karga. With him gone now, the series will have to make a cha...

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I decided to air my grievances about people making excuses for the Detroit Lions head coach, Dan Campbell. I'm a huge fan of Campbell, but he broke the hearts of many people. It was sad to see Lions fans watch him continually fail at fourth downs while he remained stubborn in his ways. Hear my thoughts as I unleash the painbringer on this special episode. This po...

In the latest episode of Bring the Pain, I talk about the Chiefs and how they dominated the Ravens. Of course, they didn't blow them out, but it was how they methodically took them apart, which a lot of us saw for the past month. After that, I talk about how strong the Niners look and what that means for their Super Bowl chances. In the end, I reveal what is in store for my podcast until football...

All of the games were great, but there were a few things I saw that could have changed the outcome of the games.
