We get the full heel-turn of Dani, the full wake-up call for Jon, and the grand finale of Hound v Mountain! The star of this episode was Tyrion.

Tiger Woods is back what an amazing sports story and story in general. The C.A.P.S. started out strong going up 2 on the Carolina Hurricanes but injuries have struck once again.

Emergency Pod style! There is way too much going on in DC sports today. Bryce Harper issues a statement to all DC sports fans. Is it too little too late? Ernie Grunfeld is fired after 16, yes sixteen, 1-6 years. Unbelievable that a GM who has not won a title was able to keep a job for that long. Nevertheless he is no longer here. The Caps are about to embark on their playoff push, without star def...

This is literally a lunchable of sports and politics that will resonate with anyon...

24 hours into free agency and the Redskins have already made a splash move by bringing in Landon Collins with a 6 year 84 million dollar deal. The Redskins also traded for Case Keenum, the guy who Kirk Cousins replaced in Minnesota, who also took the Vikings to the NFC Championship game for a bag a stale potato chips and made Denver pay for half that bag of chips. CJ Mosely gets an insane amount o...

Stevie and Joe are discussing the Bryce Harper saga and the continued rumors and speculation *probably* started by Big Daddy Boris linking Bryce with Phila, San Deigo, Arizona, and maybe just maybe Chicago... one team of note not listed, our Washington Nationals. Rob Ryan was hired by the #FireBruceAllen's probably to make the team more appealing for Hard Knocks and HBO as right now there isn't a...

The NFL Superbowl is going to be played in just a few days. LP and FP are here to preview the big game. Do the Rams have enough in the tank to beat the Patriots? Is TB12 and Belichick just too good to lose to a 2nd year coach and 3rd year QB? Sean McVay + Jared Goff combined age 57, Tom Brady and Bill Belichick combined age 157 or something like that. Experience in the big game matters and that mi...

FP, 20, and Joe are talking about how the Saints and Rams should be forced to replay the end of the NFC championship game (1:30), how the Chiefs should have had an opportunity to touch the ball in OT (4:30), and why the NFL should immediately change the Overtime Rules and make all plays available for challenge (11:25). Also, Joe lays out a solid reason as to why all NFL challenges should be handle...

The fans have spoken and the Redskins Front Office has ignored.

FP and LP are joined on this podcast to discuss all things that have transpired since the end of the season. #FireBruceAllen, #NotFiringGregManuskyButS...

FP, Stevie, 20, and Joe breakdown the final results across the NFL playoff schedule and make some shocking early predictions for next week's conference championship matchups. The Colts looked worse than expected, the Bolts came out flat, the Cowboys regressed defensively, and the Eagles finally ran out of tricks.. but don't take anything away from the Chiefs or Patriots, and don't look surprised t...

The Capitals on the other hand are quietly r...
