Welcome to Episode 114 of *Unsportsmanlike Conduct*, where Farace, Tim, and Anthony are back, and nobody is happy about this Super Bowl result (except, unfortunately, Eagles fans). Farace is actively campaigning for a media blackout, Tim is equally miserable, and Anthony is just glad to be here for once. Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers has been kicked to the curb by the Jets, Farace and Anthony are thrilled, Jimmy Butler finally got traded, and NBA trade madness has Anthony finally showing up to weigh in. Let’s get into it. Super Bowl Recap: Eagles Win, and Everyone is Miserable Super Bowl 59 is in the books, and Philadelphia is celebrating—which means Farace and Tim are not. The Chiefs lose, and the world is worse for it. Farace, who actually likes Mahomes and the Chiefs, is devastated. Tim, also a Giants fan, now has to endure Eagles fans getting even louder—expect rants. Anthony, being the responsible one, will try to keep things balanced, but really, what’s the point? Brady vs. Mahomes: The GOAT Debate (and Why Farace is Already Over It) Is Mahomes closing the GOAT gap after another Super Bowl appearance? Tim will try to have a reasonable discussion. Anthony will look at the actual numbers. Farace will violently reject any argument in Brady’s favor and remind everyone that Mahomes is infinitely more likable. Way Too Early Super Bowl 60 Predictions We’re already making wildly premature picks for next year. Farace is still riding with Mahomes—because, obviously. Tim will try to be logical, then overthink it completely. Anthony will make one actually solid pick, but no one will listen. Aaron Rodgers: Thanks for Nothing, Now Get Out The Jets are officially moving on from Aaron Rodgers, and the Farace-Anthony Anti-Rodgers Fan Club couldn’t be happier. Tim, who doesn’t particularly care for Rodgers but also doesn’t waste energy on hating him, will try to add perspective. It won’t work. Farace and Anthony will pile on, roasting Rodgers for doing literally nothing for the Jets except collect paychecks and talk about darkness retreats. Who’s next for the Jets? Does it even matter? Jimmy Butler Traded to the Warriors After weeks of drama, Jimmy Butler has finally been traded—to the Golden State Warriors. The guys react to one of the biggest moves of the NBA season. - Does this make the Warriors an instant title favorite? - Will Butler thrive in Golden State, or will it just be another chapter in his drama-filled career? - Farace will still find a reason to slander the Heat, even though they’re finally rid of him. MLB Free Agency: Alonso Stays, Bregman Moves, Spring Training is Here! Pete Alonso re-signs with the Mets! Farace breathes a sigh of relief and totally knew this was coming (sure, buddy). Alex Bregman signs with the Red Sox. Tim shrugs, because the Yankees will still be better. Pitchers & catchers report soon! It’s officially time to overreact to Spring Training results. Join us for Episode 114, where NFL heartbreak, Super Bowl rants, NBA trades, and MLB relief collide for another round of wild takes, unnecessary arguments, and Farace and Tim suffering together over an Eagles championship.…

The 2024 New York Giants season is one that fans would love to forget—but can’t. From front-office blunders to one of the worst records in franchise history, this year was a disaster from top to bottom. And, thanks to Hard Knocks, the embarrassment was put on full display for the world to see.Offseason Moves: Who Came and Who LeftThe writing was on the wall for this Giants team even before the season started. The front office made some controversial decisions that ended up shaping (or sinking) the year:Key Losses:Saquon Barkley (RB) – Signed with the Eagles on a 3-year, $37.75M deal. He then went on to put up 2,000+ rushing yards and help Philly win the Super Bowl. Let that sink in.Xavier McKinney (S) – Walked in free agency, signing with the Packers, weakening an already suspect secondary.Leonard Williams (DL) – Traded to the Seahawks in 2023, but his absence was still felt in 2024.Adoree' Jackson (CB) – The team moved on, leading to even bigger issues in coverage.Sterling Shepard (WR) – A longtime Giant, gone.Key Additions:Brian Burns (EDGE) – Acquired in a trade with the Panthers to bolster the pass rush.Malik Nabers (WR) – Drafted 6th overall, the rookie was one of the lone bright spots with 109 catches for 1,024 yards and 7 TDs.Devin Singletary (RB) – Signed in free agency to replace Barkley but was nowhere near as productive.Drew Lock (QB) – Brought in as a backup option for Daniel Jones.Isaiah McKenzie (WR) – A depth addition at wide receiver.The Saquon Barkley Fallout & ‘Hard Knocks’ DisasterWe all knew losing Barkley was bad, but Hard Knocks made it 10x worse. The leaked phone call between GM Joe Schoen and Barkley—where Schoen basically told him to test the market—was a disaster for the franchise. Barkley later admitted that he didn’t even know the call was recorded, and once he heard it, he knew his Giants days were over. Fans watched helplessly as Barkley thrived in Philly while the Giants collapsed.Season Recap: Rock BottomFinal Record: 3-14 – The worst in Giants history.Offense: 30th in total yards, 31st in points per game – Not much more needs to be said.Defense: 27th in rushing yards allowed per game (136.2 YPG) – Couldn’t stop a nosebleed.Bright Spots (Yes, There Were a Few)Malik Nabers (WR) – The reason for hope, breaking the Giants' rookie receptions record.Tyrone Tracy (RB) – A surprise contributor with 839 rushing yards, 5 TDs.Dexter Lawrence (DL) – Still a force, leading the team with 9 sacks.Looking Ahead: Rebuilding from Rock BottomThe New York Giants head into the 2025 NFL offseason with a 3-14 record, the third overall pick in the draft, and a desperate need to turn things around. With Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen returning, all eyes are on how they’ll reshape the roster after a disastrous season.2025 NFL Draft StrategyHolding the No. 3 overall pick, the Giants have several directions they could go. While the quarterback position remains a huge question mark, the Giants must also address offensive line struggles, a depleted secondary, and a lack of depth at wide receiver.Can they make the right moves, or will this franchise remain stuck in a cycle of mediocrity? We’re breaking it all down on ‘We Stomped You Out’—don’t miss it!…

Welcome to Episode 113 of Unsportsmanlike Conduct, where Farace and Tim—the self-proclaimed A-Team—are back for another week of sports chaos. With the NBA trade deadline looming, Super Bowl 59 just days away, and MLB stars still jobless, there’s plenty to talk about. Oh, and for the last time this season... our WORLD FAMOUS PICKS return. Soak it in while you can. ---NBA Trade Deadline MadnessThe NBA trade deadline is tomorrow at 3PM, and the league just exploded with blockbuster moves. - Luka Dončić to the Lakers** for Anthony Davis in a trade that shook the sports world. Luka joins LeBron in LA, while AD teams up with Kyrie Irving in Dallas. This feels like a "2K franchise mode" deal, yet here we are. - De'Aaron Fox lands in San Antonio to pair up with Wemby. Farace will probably act like he predicted this, while Tim wonders if it even moves the needle for the Spurs. - Will Kevin Durant be next? The Suns have been throwing out "We’re fine, everything’s fine" vibes, but should they move KD before things implode? Tim will say yes, Farace will say no, and by the end of the segment, they’ll probably both change their minds at least once. - The Heat finally dump Jimmy Butler -- to the Warriors in a 5 team deal that broke about an hour ago.---Super Bowl 59: Chiefs vs Eagles (Again... Sigh)- For the second time in three years, it’s the Chiefs vs Eagles in the Super Bowl. - Tim is miserable about this matchup, hates the Chiefs, and hates the Eagles even more. Expect a rant. - Farace is slightly more content—he likes Mahomes but, as a Giants fan, still despises Philly. - Does anyone outside of **Kansas City and Philadelphia** actually want this rematch? - If the Chiefs win, does Mahomes move another step closer to Brady? If the Eagles win… well, let’s not even think about that. ---WORLD FAMOUS Super Bowl Picks & Best Bets- Our FINAL World Famous Picks of the season. Tim and Farace make their Super Bowl 59 predictions and instantly regret them. - Super Bowl prop bets: Gatorade color? National anthem length? What will Taylor Swift be wearing? - The most outrageous bets you can make on the game—and which ones are actually worth considering. ---MLB Offseason: Alonso & Bregman Still Waiting- Pete Alonso and Alex Bregman remain unsigned, and pitchers & catchers report in a little over a week. - What’s taking so long? Are the Mets really letting Alonso walk? Is Bregman stuck in contract limbo? - Farace will absolutely overreact to the Alonso situation, while Tim reminds him it’s only February. ---WWE Royal Rumble Quick Thoughts - A quick recap of this past weekend’s Royal Rumble. - Did WWE get it right? Were there any surprise returns? Did Tim throw a chair when his pick lost? ---Join us for Episode 113, where NBA chaos, Super Bowl takes, and Farace’s baseball panic collide for another week of laughs, banter, and bold opinions. Whether you’re here for the picks, the rants, or just to hear Tim suffer through another Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl, we’ve got you covered!…

Welcome to Episode 112 of *Unsportsmanlike Conduct*, where Farace and Tim—the self-proclaimed A-Team—are holding it down once again. The Super Bowl is set, and if you’re expecting excitement from Tim, you might want to lower those expectations immediately. **Chiefs vs. Eagles: The Super Bowl 57 Rematch No One Asked Tim For** The Kansas City Chiefs have once again taken down the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs—*for the fourth straight time*—securing their place in **Super Bowl 59**. Meanwhile, the Eagles handled business against the Commanders, meaning we’re getting a **Chiefs vs. Eagles** rematch on **February 9, 2025**. Tim? Not thrilled. He’s exhausted from watching the Chiefs win year after year and even more miserable about the Eagles making it back. He may or may not hint at some *"extra assistance"* from the referees (*cue dramatic music*). Farace, on the other hand, is just happy to root for Mahomes and, more importantly, against the Eagles, because being a Giants fan means hating Philadelphia is in your DNA. **Reevaluating Josh Allen & Jayden Daniels** Do the AFC and NFC Championship games change our opinions on **Josh Allen** or **Jayden Daniels**? Allen once again came up short against Mahomes, and the debate over whether he’s “that guy” continues. Meanwhile, Daniels had a rough go in the NFC title game—so is he still a franchise QB, or was this a wake-up call? Expect Tim to overanalyze, Farace to make bold declarations, and at least one bad comparison to a past QB who *definitely* doesn’t belong in the conversation. **Jimmy Butler Suspended Indefinitely** In the latest episode of *The Jimmy Butler Show (Not Sponsored by the Miami Heat)*, Butler has now been **suspended indefinitely** after he walked out on a Heat practice. This came after making his teammates wait **two hours** for a flight to Milwaukee—only to inform them he’d be traveling separately. Farace will chalk this up to classic Butler antics, while Tim will continue to push his *"Just Trade Him to the Knicks and End This"* agenda. With Anthony absent, this segment will probably spiral into complete nonsense, but hey, that’s what makes it fun. **No World Famous Picks?!?** For the first time since **September**, there are **no World Famous Picks** to be made. How will Farace and Tim fill the void? Wild speculation? A pointless argument about the *real* best Super Bowl halftime show? An in-depth breakdown of the best stadium foods? Anything is possible when these two have extra airtime. Join us for Episode 112, where the Super Bowl matchup is set, Jimmy Butler keeps doing Jimmy Butler things, and Tim tries to emotionally recover from a Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl. If you’re here for insightful analysis, great! If you’re here just to hear Tim complain, even better.…

The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast: Episode #88 on PopCulturePros (or #173 for the podcast historians)Title: Meat JellyBuckle up, folks—this week’s episode is a wild ride through fire, banned apps, and whatever the hell “meat jelly” is (spoiler: it’s as horrifying as it sounds).First, we turn up the heat—literally—by diving into the LA fires, their devastating impact, and what it means for everyone (celebrities and us normies alike). It’s serious, it’s important, and yes, we still manage to make it unintentionally ridiculous.Then, we rage about the great TikTok ban, because nothing screams "freedom" like shutting down an app where people dance and cook miniature food. What does this mean for creators, users, and the future of pointless scrolling? We break it all down—with all the authority of three guys who barely use TikTok.But don’t worry, things only get more unhinged from here. Freddy’s Food Shits™ returns with a deep dive into some of the world’s worst-rated dishes. Ever wondered what jellied moose nose tastes like? No? Well, too bad, because Fred did the research (and probably regrets it).And because balance is key, Allan’s Movie Shits™ is here to save the day with the latest Hollywood gossip and 2025 movie updates. Will he predict the next blockbuster? Or just get distracted halfway through? Tune in to find out.So sit back, relax, and prepare for an episode that will make you laugh, cringe, and possibly rethink your relationship with meat-based gelatin. Happy 2025, and Happy Martin Luther King Day to all our listeners!…
