The Mash Up

The CDL announced their 2023 season is starting the earliest it ever has, DECEMBER 2ND with the first Major just two weeks later. NFL Week 2 was mostly blowouts and choking. Why is App St not ranked? Georgia and Clemson are my Top 2 right now. HCS Orlando is a chance for 343 to really capitalize on the good will they've FINALLY built up recently, they just need to take it.  Intro Song: Call o...

COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS BACK!!! I'm so ready for the season to really get going. 100Thieves and C9 have already booked their tickets to Worlds, but the LCS isn't done yet. CDL AND HCS rostermania just continue to be wild. Forge has me REALLY hyped.  Intro Song: ESPN College Football Theme Outro Song: Halo Infinite Main Theme Follow me on twitter: https://twitter.com/RealPatterson50 Subscribe to m...

The CDL isn't ready to give up their spot in the esports news cycle just yet. Between a really fun Champs that's been basically forgotten already, RosterMania, the trickle of info for MW22 and whatever the heck is going on with NYSL, CoD is pulling an NFL. LCS Playoffs are here and same as always there's MAYBE three teams that have a real chance to win. Tatis screwed up, big time. NFL pre-season g...

The NFL drops the ball on another punishment, are we really surprised at this point? CDL Champs 2022 is just a few days away and I think my biases will, for once, be correct. The MLB Trade Deadline was a wild one, but not as wild as it could've been (warning, if you like Buster Olney as a reporter maybe skip this segment). The season finale of Players was SO GOOD and I need a new season ASAP.&nbsp...

With the general lack of sports content and esports I'm plugged into going on right now this show is a little different. The Velly situation did happen, I'm not touching that with a 10' pole but hopefully the CDL gets someone else in that spot. DC Dropped the ball at SDCC BIG TIME, DnD Honor Among Thieves looks like it might not suck and Marvel just reminded everyone why they're still the kings. S...

The CDL's fourth and final regular season Major of the year was by far its best (hey just like last year) but the storylines were better than they've been at a CoD event since the game still had jetpacks. Episode 8 of Players was SO good, probably my favorite of the entire season so far, even if I was a little jealous that this fictional LCS had their 2021 Summer Finals in Philly. Other Stuff: goo...

The last weekend of Qualifiers continued the trend of making ZERO sense. Thank God there's no more online play and hopefully it's gone for good because it was ridiculous this weekend, no BO5 should take four hours. This episode of Players was an emotional GUT PUNCH, I should've seen it coming knowing who made this show but I didn't and paid the price with my emotions. NHL Free Agency has started a...

The CDL doesn't make any sense except for Paris still sucking and based on former players now confirming their very obvious refusal to spend money they will continue to suck even after moving to Vegas next season. UCLA and USC are joining the B1G, that won't be a total disaster at all. Players on Paramount+ is actually really good, I know I was surprised too. Baker Mayfield is now a Panther. Pione...

CDL Major III was awesome, shout out to Ultra and the city of Toronto for putting on an awesome event and shout out to to Atlanta Faze for choking another Major. The Colorado Avalanche look totally unbeatable and the Lightning made it a series with the Rangers after remembering they're two time defending Stanley Cup champions. The Houston Texans are in DEEP trouble now. Call of Duty Modern Warfare...

The CDL Toronto Major is here and it's not entirely what I expected when qualifiers started three weeks ago. The NHL Conference Finals are going to be exact opposite versions of good hockey. The NBA Finals are the worst timeline in a pretty boring playoff. I explain what's coming soon now that I'm full time content creation again (at least for now).  Intro Song: Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3...

Call of Duty MWII gets its first "teaser" and a release date, I just hope it's good. The CDL picture is a little more clear than it was last week with one more week until Major 3. The Lightning are gonna win the Cup again aren't they? Well at least it'll be a fun series no matter who comes out of the West. The good Halo stuff: new event and the cosmetics that come with it look fun. HCS made some m...

The NBA Conference Finals are here and a look and the Suns' epic level choke causes a look at what could've been if Chris Paul ended up getting traded to the Lakers. The CDL makes absolutely no sense at the moment, yes even less than normal. Crim and Clay need to settle this beef somehow because there's ZERO chance it's actually over. The Maple Leafs may never win a playoff series again and the Pe...

Joel Embiid should've been MVP but the Sixers are still alive so and clearly better with so...take the good with the bad. The CDL is back, Pro-Am didn't really count, and I have NO CLUE how this is going to go. MSI is Faker's tournament to lose. The NHL playoffs are nothing but teams trading blowouts with each other and the Islanders made the same dumb mistake as the Caps and fired Barry Trotz for...

HCS Kansas City was absolutely amazing and the entire community owes Sentinels an apology. Toronto and the Raptors just made The List. Other than Sixers-Heat there will be very little defense in the Conference Semis. Halo episode 6 wasn't as good but hopefully it's just a cooldown before the last four episodes blow everyone away.  Follow me on twitter: https://twitter.com/RealPatterson50 Subs...

NFL Draft is tonight and since it's tradition, I'll be livestreaming my reactions to it. MARK EMMERET IS STEPPING DOWN!!! The Sixers are a bunch of idiots and I never should have trusted them to do this. Ja Morant...is a freak. The Nets "core" are all losers in their own special ways. HCS Kansas City is this weekend and it's going to be fun. EG will represent NA at MSI, and unlike a lot of LCS tea...

I'm sorry I ever doubted you, Sixers. The Mavs may have won game 2, but they need Luka back. The Faze Halo invitational was a nice appetizer for HCS Kansas City. Mid-Season CDL news and possible changes. Halo series episode 4 recap and review.  Intro Song: NBA on ESPN theme Outro Song: Halo Theme Song (Original)  Follow me on twitter: https://twitter.com/RealPatterson50 Subscribe to my Y...

Halo series Episode 3 Recap. LCS Spring Playoff predictions in the very predictable LCS. Much less confident NBA Playoff predictions and some angry Sixers related ranting. New Kingdom Hearts trailer and Halo Infinite Season 2 and beyond news.  Intro Song: Halo Theme (Mjolnir Mix) by Marty O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori Outro Song: Simple and Clean by Utada Hikaru  Follow me on twitter:...

Well that was fun. North Carolina sends Coach K packing before losing a heartbreaker to Kansas. Overall, it was a fun Tournament to watch.  Speaking of fun tournaments to watch, the Rokkr Major was absolutely incredible. A great crowd, a great venue and an awesome story.  Intro and Outro Song: One Shinning Moment by Luther Vandross Follow me on twitter: https://twitter.com/RealPatterson5...

The Final Four is here and I think it will be fun, even if UNC vs Duke is going to be the most annoying game in tournament history. The Rokkr Major is NOT set up like I expected it to be coming out of the last Major and I give the Rokkr fanbase their own nickname. LCS Spring Playoffs WITH FANS, even in the very top heavy LCS fans coming back is a good thing for the game. A recap and review of Halo...

Halo does not need a battle royale,. it has problems yes, but a trend chasing distraction won't fix them. Version-1 is doing a cool thing for HCS KC. Halo show drops this week and I still have hope. March Madness has been a weird mix of chalk and upsets, I think the second weekend will be better though. Watson has a new home. Tyrek Hill was desperate to get out of KC. The NFC South doesn't look al...

Jon returns to discuss March Madness. Tom Brady and the NFL hijacked March Madness' spotlight, because of course they did. The first CDL Major of the season was absolutely awesome and Minnesota's should be just as good in a couple weeks. MLB is back but they still have A LOT of issues that they refuse to fix.  Intro and Outro Song: March Madness on CBS Theme  Follow me on twitter: https:...

March came early this year with an all time great Saturday of college basketball and I have the distinct feeling it's only going to get better from here. CDL Major 1 is this weekend, OpTic aren't even the favorite to win their own event. Activision FINALLY listened to us and pushed CoD 2023 back to 2024, so this year's game better be good since we'll have it for two years no matter what. Baseball...

The Countdown has well and truly begun and I'm hyped for the first REAL Tournament in three years, yes I know we're still a few weeks out but I don't care. CDL Major I field is set and it's looking like a good one. Formal FINALLY joins OpTic Halo. The NFL and XFL start a partnership that should be good for both of them. Uncharted (movie version) was actually really good. Horizon Forbidden West is...

The Super Bowl has come and gone, overall I think it was a pretty good season even if I still hate the 17 games thing. Just a LANDMARK DAY for baseball. An actually exciting weekend in the CDL, considering what they were up against. HCS Anaheim was somehow still good even with no crowd, just never do that again HCS.  Intro Song: NFL Network Special Theme  Outro Song: One Shining Moment b...

The CDL is starting off exactly like we all thought it would. I still have no clue where I think the Super Bowl will go and who I want to win it. HCS Anaheim has a lot less hype than Raleigh for a few reasons but I still think it will be fun.  Intro Song: Call of Duty Vanguard Main Theme Outro Song: Halo Theme Mjolnir Mix by Marty O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori  Twitter Twitch Sporting...
