Tipped Balls

In our LAST episode discussing the 2022 NFL season, and the last of year one of Tipped Balls we crack on about what’s going on in the league before the franchise tagging frenzy begins. Uncle Sam hits us with a few last awful takes, Bruce is barely awake, and Sam gets in one last rant before the boys take their hiatus. We look forward to bringing you a revamped and improved Tipped Balls experience...

The Kelce Bowl was many things. A battle between the best offense and best defense, two great young quarterbacks, new school vs old school coaching, some questionable refereeing, a slippery slope of a field, and Pat Mahomes…being really really cute. The league MVP added another Super Bowl MVP to his trophy case while picking up some new jewelry. Sam thinks Jalen Hurts had an MVP caliber performanc...

TWO. DAYS. AWAY! THE SUPER BOWL. A NATIONAL HOLIDAY. THE BIGGEST DAY IN SPORTS! But first…we discuss the polar opposite of that…The Pro Bowl Games. Which was indeed the biggest embarrassment in sports this year. All of us agree it was next to unwatchable, and sometimes vintage is good. Next, we discuss the coaching moves, QB rumors, and a slew of other news stories circulating in NFL circles. Then...

The Super Bowl matchup we’ve all been waiting for. If the script wasn’t predictable enough, the 1 seed Chiefs vs the 1 seed Eagles will face off in the big game. We discuss Tom Brady RETIREMENT 2.0, and break down some new coaching hires. Bruce builds a shrine to Mike Danna live on air, while Uncle Sam gives major kudos to the entire Chiefs D. Sam has criticisms for the officials of the AFC champi...

Did someone say CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND?! Before we break down the games that decide who moves on to face off for the crown, we had some business to take care of. First and foremost the coaching carousel has begun, with the Panthers bringing in Frank to solve their problems. The boys talk about the NFL Honors finalists, and pick their favorites to earn an award. Then…the PICKS. Uncle Sam and Bruce ag...

TO ALL BILLS FANS: Just an FYI, StubHub customer service BLOWS. Good luck. The Bengals had plenty of choice words for Bills Mafia, deservedly so after the spanking they laid on them in Orchard Park this weekend. So we have a Pat Mahomes vs Joe Cool AFC Championship game again…this one should be fun. Uncle Sam pops a boner for the Eagles after they little boy the G Men, and Bruce reiterates how muc...

In a Divisional weekend that is indeed for all the marbles Sam can’t help but to buy into the parody of the NFL and believe some Giants (wink wink) will fall. We all believe in Philadelphia and Kansas City, but both Sam and The Boat believe the Bengals will knock off the Bills. Uncle Sam picks all the high seeds in his most boring and lackluster predictions of all time, and Sam shocks the world by...

In a somber moment for Sam, the Bucs and Tom Brady were soundly outplayed by the Dallas Cowboys to end a crazy Super Wild Card weekend. Dak played the game of his life, and sent Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Tom Brady golfing. What does this mean for Tom’s future? The boys all have their own takes. Sam also is overjoyed by the Jags big comeback over Justin Erbert and the Chargers. Does anyone in t...

Yeah. How about them? We all predict them taking a big L to a “washed” Tom Brady and the rag tag Bucs on Monday Night. But before that we break down all the Super Wildcard Weekend matchups, including the issues with Miami and Baltimore missing their starting QBs. In a battle for who’s more of a fraud the Vikings and Giants face off on Sunday, and even Pete Carroll thinks the Seahawks are going to...

THE REGULAR SEASON HAS COME TO A CLOSE! ITS PLAYOFF TIME. The seeding is done. The home field advantages have been handed out. And now crunch time is upon us. We recap all the week 18 action, including the Dolphins awful win for a playoff spot, the Seahawks ripping out the hearts of Lions fans, but the Honolulu Blue had their mission: to keep Green Bay playing golf. The Texans did the most Texans...

After getting great news throughout the week regarding Damar Hamlin, we can put our minds at ease and talk a little football. We discuss the ramifications the Monday night cancellation had on the playoff picture, break down our favorite week 18 matchups, and take some time to recap a wild regular season before it’s time for THE PLAYOFFS.

We start out show with the one topic on everyone’s mind: Damar Hamlin. After a scary situation on Monday Night Football we take time to keep Damar in our thoughts and prayers and wish him a speedy recovery. All of us reflect on how a horrible occurrence such as this puts everything in perspective, that it’s much bigger then the game, and give our thoughts on how the league handled the situation. W...

OUR FINAL EPISODE OF 2022! Wow. We actually made it through an entire year without Uncle Sam physically assaulting Bruce live on camera. We take time to discuss the hot topics in the league. One of the game's best ever defensive players JJ Watt announced he’s retiring, Tua takes another blow, and the Broncos might just be the worst franchise in football right now. We talk about the similarities be...

Look at that! The Lions suck again. We start out the show with Bruce discussing the ramifications of the Lions blowout loss to Carolina, and with a Packers win against the Dolphins, what this could mean for the NFC Wild Card picture. Is Tom Brady washed? Sam still defends his GOAT and calls for immediate change amongst the Bucs higher ups. Uncle Sam loves Gardner Minshew, and thinks Philly will be...

AND A VERY WARM WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! In the most festive spirit possible we break down our thoughts from all of the Christmas matchups, exchange some gifts, and Uncle Sam gives us the gift of a few last awful takes to make the season bright. Thank you so much for listening to Tipped Balls, and from our families to yours…MERRY CHRISTMAS!

As we debut our new looks, many NFL teams have as well. The Lions look like a playoff team, the Cowboys look lackluster, and the Patriots look like a dumpster fire. Uncle Sam loved how hard the Texans fought against the Chiefs even though they come up just short like the week prior. Could we have been right all along? JAX looks like a playoff team, and Sam thinks they could toss the spiraling Tita...

Injuries. Injuries. Injuries. This deep in the NFL season it’s a plague. We discuss how injuries at critical positions will affect the Ravens Seahawks going forward. Speaking of the team in Seattle, we discuss their big in division loss to the also injury ridden 49ers on Thursday night, and Uncle Sam continues his hate on the farce that he believes Brock Purdy is. With professional football on Sat...

This week on Fantasy Frenzy we dive deep into all the transactional and injury news you need to know before a action packed weekend. After a quick recap of the Buccaneers big win on Monday night, we let you know who we’re starting and sitting along with who we’re adding and dropping as the witching hour of the fantasy season rests upon us. With fantasy playoffs looming, you don’t want to miss out...

We have a special guest on the show today. Santa himself joins us behind the board. Being a huge Lions fan, St Nick was overjoyed after the big cats rained on the Vikings parade. Sam has finally bought in, affirming his promise that he will pick Detroit to win out, and the expectation should be a playoff appearance for the Lions this year. Uncle Sam is glad that we finally saw the Broncos team we...

Can you believe it? Christmas tunes, horrible drivers, and only ONE month of regular season football left. We discuss a slew of divisional matchups slated for week 14 and make our picks on this week's winners and losers. Bruce is a believer in the Vegas bettors and his own Detroit Lions to beat the 10-2 Vikings at Ford field…even though they are all wrong. Uncle Sam having a blue Christmas and fee...

After a quick recap of Monday night's action, we update you on injuries impacting the fantasy football world in week 14, give you advice on who we would start and who we would sit, and who our weekly sleepers are

The Lions are…in the playoff hunt? Yes the world is officially coming to an end. Bruce doesn’t have much to say after Dan Campbell and Jared Goff destroy the Jaguars on Sunday. We discuss what the expectations should be going forward for our hometown team. Uncle Sam details the impact that the Jimmy G injury has on not just the 49ers but the entirety of the NFC. Sam thinks the Cowboys are a real t...

Mac Jones showing emotion? Let’s hope he doesn’t go missing. The Patriots lost to the Bills on Thursday Night Football in very un-Belichickian fashion, and Uncle Sam thinks there’s one person to blame. The tub of shit himself, Matty P. We give our predictions on all the week 13 matchups as we enter the witching hour of the NFL season. Sam believes that the 49ers D has what it takes to stunt the un...

After a quick recap of Monday night's action, we update you on injuries impacting the fantasy football world in week 13, give you advice on who we would start and who we would sit, and who our weekly sleepers

How big are the scrotums of Doug Pederson and Brandon Staley? Absolutely gargantuan. In a weekend filled with game deciding 2-point conversions, a million rushing yards, and Russel Willson looking worse than a bronco's ass, Uncle Sam comes after His Excellency Thomas Patrick Brady Jr hard. He blames Tom for the Bucs sub .500 woes, while Sam called for Todd Bowles job. We discuss the Bengals great...
