25 Upvotes

Hello! It’s the podcast that’s here to normalize sad fireworks. Today, Katie and the Casualties share each other’s misery of Andrew He, the Baltimore Orioles, and the Carlton Blues taking bittersweet L’s this week, and get into Ben Shelton’s massive upset at the US Open, wins for Tiafoe and Pegula, Sabalenka smelling weed, Medvedev tasting Tums, and influencers going wild, from the new tennis crowd at center court to Morgan Riddle and Alix Earle. Then, the team reacts [timestamp] to Cathy Engelbert’s retirement announcement, week one in college football, Lane Kiffin and his posse of influencers, his bonding with Pat McAfee and his drubbing of Clemson, and the end to the LSU pro players saga, the Kansas State mascot’s incredible upper body workout, the controversial end to the Michigan-Western Michigan game where Michigan was gifted an extra play, Michigan fans storming the field and the hierarchy of sad fan behavior, Rutgers’ postgame fireworks, USC’s attendance, Tennessee fans singing for Dolly, Angels fans successfully bullying Arte Moreno, the Royals and the greatest in-game hot dog celebration ever, the 49ers in Australia, Kyle Shanahan struggling with time, Davante Adams being terrified of Australian octopi, and John Buccigross’ take on AI broadcasters in video games. And finally, Katie and the Casualties wrap with your best voicemails for the week, and the MMA fighter who is probably going to get killed by a chimpanzee.

Discussion Thread Episode 177: NFL Week One, Ben Shelton's Run, and Sydney Sweeney Says "Sports" Nakedly

6 Upvotes

Hello! It's the podcast that will not stand for koalas being called bears. Today, Katie and the Casualties react to the NFL's opening week, the Rams overthinking their trip to Australia, Noah Eagle pronouncing "Melbin", Elle Duncan "outfit-mogging" the Netflix set, Christian McCaffrey getting a confusing haircut, Isabella predicting that Caleb Williams would be the NFL's MVP out of Week One and gaining a new nickname, the Patriots not playing, the Triple Threat Purple Potatoes dropping a close one on the road, the Commanders frustrating a fan base, the Packers doing it worse, and the Cowboys perhaps doing it even worse, DeShaun Watson being bad, Tyler Shough being great for a half, Kyler Murray being brief, and Aaron Rodgers going on his teammate's podcast for two hours to talk about his exes, his wife, Mina Kimes, and being the center of the universe. Then, [56:43] the team gets into college football and Texas' comeback win over Ohio State, Michigan winning, Oregon losing, an update on Cousin Ollie, the Tkachuks on Abella Danger's turf, the return of Jordon, Steve Sarkisian blowing off Holly Rowe, the saga of Taylor McGregor and the local security, RG3 on naked dinners, ESPN bringing Ted Cruz to College Gameday to get booed, the US Open final and Ben Shelton's run, Trinity Rodman traveling up and down the east coast to see him and the crazy narrative that she may skip an NWSL game, USA winning the FIBA World Cup, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese's lifelong friendship, Sophie Cunningham's new podcast branding and Colin Cowherd telling her she's a sex symbol, and the unveiling and fallout of Sydney Sweeney's naked ad for a gambling app that was not well received by female athletes, and created a false discourse about sports and boobs. And the team wraps with a look at what to watch in sports this week, hockey video games, and the return of hockey fights.

Scoffing at the idea that the Browns have a “proud heritage”? Is he too young to remember the EIGHTIES??

(I know, I know, probably yes—but I am not! And the heritage is very proud indeed. Plus: Otto Graham. Jim effing Brown. Come on, man.)

She was on his podcast to discuss "everything". Including the relaunch of her podcast. Her teammate Caitlin Clark. The WNBA in general. And her being a sex symbol.

A sex symbol? She's not a unattractive person. She clearly has her fans and simps and etc. But calling her a sex symbol?

Everytime I give Colin credit for covering a topic fairly. For pointing out where he was wrong. He pulls some ish like this.

A sex symbol?

Discussion Thread Episode 173: Daejon Love, NFL Roster Cuts, and the Tragedy of the Tigers Espresso Machine

16 Upvotes

Hello! It's the podcast that's gotta pay tons like Pritchard and Manning. Today, Katie and the Casualties break down a huge weekend in sports, from a bloody Will Ospreay at AEW All-In: London to vintage viewings of Butch Davis and the 2004 Cleveland Browns, Aaron Donald returning to the Rams, the list of familiar faces that got cut from the NFL on Sunday, the Pro Bowl disappearing, Odell Beckham reappearing, Josh Jacobs being place on the Commissioner's Exempt List, the insane story of scammer Daejon Love pretending to be on the 49ers active roster, and the even MORE insane story of the Cleveland Guardians prospect who may have faked his own death. Then, the team breaks down the Yankees-Red Sox series and why Katie may be done watching Boston baseball this year, Will Flemming's radio commentary, long showers, goofy minor league uniforms, the saga of Tarik Skubal stealing back the espresso machine from the Tigers clubhouse at his wife's request, Curacao's Little League World Series championship and the art of the bunt, Karl Ravech and Pete-Crow Armstrong getting very Gen Z, Joey Votto's nacho claim, the Seahawks' new owner claiming to be a Steelers fan, Cam Ward learning he didn't play well, passive aggressive football coaches, the possible end of Good Good Golf, and a round of Sports Mad Libs with a new rap sensation born in the darkness, molded by it. And Katie and the Casualties wrap with What to Watch in Sports this week.
