Let Them Eat Takes

As you might have deduced by the title of this episode, we will mourn the once promising career of Atlanta Falcons QB/crash test dummy Matt Ryan (and say a prayer that he will be traded to a mid-tier-at-minimum franchise before his career ends). But before we unite over the slow death that has occurred within all of us over that horrible team, we will talk a lot of college football. We'll talk abo...

This week, we give our reactions to the Labor Day weekend of football. We'll talk about a proposal that was made that would make pay-games all the more interesting, some weird stuff Brian Kelly said, the tragedy Bama fans must suffer from all this winning, Georgia vs. Clemson (were their offenses literally slipping and falling on mayonnaise?), the current status of the Peach State's third/fourth m...

This one's all college football baby! This week, we welcome Daniel Bailey onto our show to preview this season and discuss a ranking system he himself created. We briefly review what happened during week 0, why recruiting still matters, where power football belongs these days, hot seats, cold takes, and more. Bonus material: we'll unite around a minor league baseball umpire who was booed for being...

We got a shorty for you this week; jammed pack with corgis, more preseason college nonsense, some stuff about Blooper (the Braves mascot), plus a unifying (?) story about the now defunct Atlanta Thrashers.

This week, we take a look at that most celebrated of snake oils which is preseason college football rankings. Jonathan and Scott get into a heated debate over the front office decisions of the Atlanta Braves, we all get a kick out of Tim Tebow at the H-back, and Gardner Minshew reminds us all why he's still number one in our hearts even if he doesn't have that ranking in the depth chart. Oh yeah,...

After months of hot take doldrums, we have dusted off our microphones and have resumed the noble task of digging up bad sports opinions online and dishing out some takes of our own. We'll talk about the Olympics, some basketball, some futbol and some football, plus we'll even talk a bit about fine European baking. Will the SEC ever have enough? Will Aubrey Huff finally shut his mouth for once? Did...

Not much to say other than come and get this one while it's still hot. Also, what pictures would you like to see JT Daniels' beautiful mugshot superimposed on?

We have successfully re-emerged from hibernation to deliver yet another installment of your favorite sports pod. Joining us again is Kevin Sprague to talk all things NBA. We’ll get into the draft, the antics of James Harden, which teams are exciting, which teams you should be watching, which teams you should be actively hating, our new favorite sports mascot (HINT: he's from Orlando) and we take a...

So, we took a long break; turns out October was way too outrageous even for a Sports Podcast for the outrage era.  But lament no more;  we’re back, and we’re doling out the harshness like never before. This episode was recorded about a week before it finally uploads so forgive us if we’re a bit tardy, but this was mostly a catch-up for us. We’ll revisit the World Series, talk about the state of th...

Air raid is cool. You know what would be cooler? An airboat raid, which is what we think will be the next stage of LSU's offensive evolution. We got lots of good stuff to talk about this week: Colin Cowherd’s vendetta against backwards hats a satirical web article that went viral for being taken seriously, some thoughts about Mike Leach and the air raid coming back to the SEC, some overreactions t...

The Atlanta Falcons should have fired Dan Quinn and hired Kyle Shanahan immediately after Super Bowl LI. Now that that is out of the way we can resume our episode description. Did you know there are baseball players, but then there are dudes? If you're not paying attention to golf, then you need to because Bryson DeChambeau (to learn more, go to his Twitch channel). We'll go over college football...

This LTET might not be as hot and ready as a Little Caesar's $5 pizza, but the takes therein are certified fresh by us. We recorded this before the Big 10 announced its return to college football so some of the discussions are a bit behind on the news; however, we will be recording the day after this episode releases so we will talk about that in greater detail then. But we still got lots of good...

In this episode, the LTET crew offers its thoughts on the most recent NBA draft. "But wait," your mind rudely interrupts this podcast summary, "with the exception of Scott, you guys know absolutely nothing about professional basketball." And you're right... which is why we brought on to the show our very first guest, Kevin Sprague. Kevin is a basketball superfan and blogger and offers us some grea...

Seriously though; the good folks in Oxford, Mississippi and elsewhere would love to know what's gonna save college football if you have some suggestions (but letting the players have some of the profits ain't an answer they want just yet). We'll talk all things college football, some baseball, some golf, Lou Williams, some really good hot wings (from a rather unlikely place), a Michael Jordan vide...

Today, we make sports takes history in the discovery of a take that inexplicably escaped from the multiverse and into our humble plane of existence. We're talking lots and lots of baseball, some soccer, CFB (which now stands for "COVID football'), some Atlanta sports lamentations, plus a retro football video game we should all be playing instead of Madden.

In our two week hiatus from posting new installments of LTET, we heard your cries for sports takes and we are back; ready to gingerly spoon them into your mouths, pour them in your ears, or inject them directly into your bloodstream if that's what your doctor has ordered. And if you like your takes to be edgy and controversial (and maybe with that delayed spiciness that hits you in the back of you...

First off, that was a noose in the Talladega garage. Secondly, we're giddy about all the winter apparel Cam Newton will wear now that he is in an appropriate climate to do so. The MLB is coming back, so that's nice (and if you think the rule changes are bad, well, you're wrong). Other topics of interest this week are:  Ryan Anderson apparently wants CTE. Colin Cowherd's dubious assessments of "arm...

Another week, another hour of three passionate sports fans figuring out they don't know as much about sports as they previously thought. Will that stop us from making broad, authoritative statements? Not a chance. On the docket for this entry is Mike Gundy's teleprompter/bodysnatcher apology, an argument for Barry Bonds' induction to the Hall of Fame (and a weird proposal for re-injecting steroids...

This week we give an update on college football's war on COVID-19, spend the bare minimum of time required to talk about the MLB feud, talk Drew Brees' excellent pocket awareness (and how it hasn't translated to actual awareness), and we introduce an exciting new segment to our show. Other topics: Kentucky Cheerleading's scandalous basket toss-gate, a guy running for senate in Alabama who is using...

This week, we take some creative liberties with the word "hasty" and go on an unchecked spree of sports bloviation.... so yeah, the usual. Following up with NFL Head Coach 2006, Scott shares some insights from his virtual life as the Atlanta Scorpion Lollipop's newest head coach. We touch on some soccer, some golf, some bad takes from the usual suspects, a crazy hockey video game that may or may n...

Scott, Jonathan and Justin talk pants in golf, inflatable fans, and a lot of college football. Is Tennessee really back? We'll answer that question and much more. Also, Scott shares with us the ground-breaking sports video game you've probably never heard of.

Scott, Jonathan, and Justin talk about takes on baseball's possible return, college football, Michael Jordan's Last Dance, Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball, shrinking thingies, and other fun stuff.
