Complexity's Valorant tournament will be a good warmup before Challengers qualifiers. The Mets made a BIG move and somehow immediately became one of the best teams in the NL East. Warzone is a broken mess but a new website may finally expose s...

The final show of the year, Jake and Jon laugh at the Jets for not getting the number one pick and lament the weirdness of the playoffs. The Cure Bowl was better than it had any right to be and the Peach Bowl will be better than either Semi-Final. Gonzaga is just better than everyone else, this is the first time I've been confident enough to call someone National Champion in December. James Harden...

Riot's changes to the LCS seem pretty good but the changes to the NA Academy and amateur scene are INCREDIBLE. Gonzaga continues to kill themselves in OOC and fans are rewarded because of it. Rob Manfred finally gets something right...possibly just to distract people from the fact that he's killing baseball. 100Thieves vs Sentinels is an even better Valorant rivalry than Sentinels vs TSM. Cloud9 T...

Jake and Jon recap the wild "Poop Game" between the Ravens and Browns and set their sights on the future of the League. The guys also make predictions (bets really) for the win totals of every game in the NBA and who the stars of the season will be.  Intro Song: ESPN MNF Theme Outro Song: Round Ball Rock Follow me on Twitch for more hijinks

Valorant First Strike was everything I wanted it to be and more. 100Thieves are the best team in NA and nobody can argue that anymore, they're only going to get better too. Gonzaga-Baylor got cancelled but we still had plenty of good games and a whole lot of good games on the horizon. The Steelers finally lost. The Eagles have a new QB but what is that really going to do? Please don't trade for Ha...

Gonzaga and Baylor are the teams to watch, duh. Texas and Shaka Smart, you have my attention. Sorry Steelers, you just aren't that good. I waited so long for Liberty vs Coastal to return with actual stakes and 2020 takes it away at the last minute. Kevin Warren is a terrible commissioner. Can we stop with the Sarah Fuller hate? The NBA isn't playing around with it's first three days of the season....

The SwordArt to TSM deal is FINALLY official but Doublelift still retired. GoldenGlue announced his retirement as well but his next step his already been announced and I like it. The Steelers found a new level of entitled I didn't know was possible(strong language warning), Tom Brady just passed the torch and the Eagles continue to be dumb.

League of Legends free agency decides to get absolutely insane to wrap up an absolutely insane year. The NBA doing what it does best as the best off-season in sports with crazy moves.  The Valorant First Strike field is set after a gauntlet of qualifiers and there are some GOOD matches in the first round.  Intro Song: NCAA March Madness Theme Outro Song: Valorant Main Theme Follow Me On...

League of Legends Free Agency starts off absolutely insane and a lot of the craziness is on the homefront. Three big NFL storylines that will probably carry for a few more weeks. The UMG First Strike Qualifier field is set and despite the obvious favorites, I still think there could be a few upsets. CDL players are MAD and they're probably going to form a players' union. The NBA's delayed off-seas...

The LA Thieves are finally o...

NBA offseason rumors may be a few months late this year, but they're just as crazy and of course one of them made me mad at the Sixers again. I knew Jets were dumb but WOW, this is a new level, for once I tell a consensus number 1 pick to stay in school. Riot is possibly making some big changes to the LCS for next season, I hope it well help us improve internationally.  Follow me on twitch&nb...

Worlds had the best final since 2015,  Suning, Damwon and Riot all put on a great show to close out the year. A whole lot happened in the NFL this week and one of its best rivalries just got a whole lot more steam. College football, not to be outdone, goes even more insane. Twitch bans and then unbans two big streamers in the space of a couple hours. Salty esports owner tries to dunk on Nades...

One last match to crown a League World Champion and a whole lot of storylines are involved in this one. On the NA front, Jensen gets PAID. The Dodgers are World Series Champions but the main story is once again about people in baseball being dumb. Not to be outdone Riot's other game puts on a show in the build up to their first official event.  Follow me on twitch Intro and Outro Song: Take O...

100Thieves are officially back in Call of Duty and Chicago probably won't be the Huntsmen for much longer. The biggest story in League this weekend had no connection to Worlds at all, and the games were actually good. The Seahawks and Cardinals just had the best game of the weekend, I'm still not buying the Steelers, at me I don't care. Admit it Patriots fans, you don't like your team being bad we...

The H3CZ/OpTic/Huntsmen/100T situation gets even more insane. The Jets continue to prove how stupid they are after another horrible loss. Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields should just stay in college another year, because it's not worth playing for any of the bottom feeders who would draft them. The Braves have a bright future but they still choked. Fnatic came so close but EU still has hope. I ma...

Worlds is too chalky right now, I'm hoping for some upsets this weekend. It's NFL Week 6, time to get insane. Overwatch free agency starts off hot and I think this is just the beginning. A Rays vs Braves World Series would be the funniest thing ever and I hope we get to see it. Sergio Aguero joins several soccer mega stars in starting esports teams. Bronny gets grounded from Warzone event because...

A wild weekend in the NFL full of upsets and injuries. North American teams are out of Worlds again, we need to fix this. I'm hoping for all the chaos in playoffs. San Francisco Shock are Champions again and are showing no signs of slowing down. MLB is letting fans back in for AL/NLCs and World Series and I LOVE it. 100 Thieves is leaving CS and I understand their reasoning but they have to know t...

Liquid went 3-3 again, but there might be some reason to hope for the future. The Titans seem desperate to ruin the season for everyone else. This is the most under the radar NBA Finals in the history of the game. The Fusion channel their older brothers, and not in a good way.  Th new Valorant agent looks like a lot of fun, especially for the Sentinels role.  Follow me on Twitch

Hector "H3CZ" Rodriguez bought OpTic Gaming and their CDL franchise back and it's a great thing for esports (yes Immortals too). Steelers-Titans gets postponed to Week 7 because of Rona. I still have hope in the Ravens, even after Monday Night. My slightly homer Worlds Groups picks. The Heat probably run out of gas, Kyrie Irving is a complete idiot and the Sixers do one more dumb decisions. ...

Liquid actually did it, they made it out of Play-Ins. The NFC East proves how much it sucks, The Steelers and Bears both lucked into 3-0 records. The Heat did it and even though they probably won't win Jimmy Butler deserves this. The SEC is back and Mike Leach fits in PERFECTLY. The Big12 is really bad this year. The Toronto Ultra are facing more than a little controversy in the offseason. Season...

Worlds is TRULY here and I hope everyone's sleep schedules are prepared, the Play-Ins are actually going to be good.  The same week the NFL gives a game between the top 2 Super Bowl contenders it gives two absolutely beautiful disasters. The Heat are actually going to win the East. The Lightning ignored a decades old superstition and it seems to be working out for them. Scump hates the bubble...

It's Worlds Week and Play-Ins should be interesting, at least in Group B. NFL Week 2 had so many injuries and I feel bad for the Niners. CDL roster moves and expansion and 2021 season bubble rumors. Microsoft pulls the ultimate power move and buys all of Bethesda.
