Make Room For Sports Simon Barrett, Mikal Britt, Dave Dominique, Mike Loughran

Only Simon and Mikal show up for the episode and it's unclear if they cover Sports News or not.  They do discuss prunes and O.J. Simpson.
Don't bother emailing us.

After a brief, unnecessary discussion of Jordan Peterson, we offer the definitive word on Mikal and Simon's trip to the Spurs/Clippers game, what happened to Joel Embiid, why Markelle Fultz is a tragic hero, the Connor McGregor UFC 223 thing, and Kevin Shiflett, America's premier chin balancer.  We explain our new feelings about the kiss cam for 2018, which differ from our feelings on it from 2017. Mikal again confronts his Gatorade addiction but misspells his name. Trigger Warning: at the end of the episode, we make the terrible mistake of opening up the MRFS phone line and we receive a truly harrowing call from Grayson Allen. It does not go well.

The first episode of 2018 in which all four of the MRFS guys manage to show up.  And they really regret it.  After a few months sabbatical, the sports groove is gone.  Too bad since Simon managed to set up an interview with Tom Brady, who talks way too much about Giselle and some other semi-offensive stuff, while the MRFS guys are mysteriously quiet. The episode also features brief commentary on Duke's loss, which can be blamed on Grayson Allen.  The guys honor Sports Day, the beginning of the sports year, which everyone knows is every March 25th.  Mikal gives a sneak preview of his book report on the biography of MLB hero Roberto Clemente.  Mikal also tries to share some knowledge on lesser known sports such at Wife Carrying and Chess Boxing.  And the most average sized NBA player is revealed!  We apologize in advance.

At America's behest, we preview the big game in all its glory. We enumerate all the major story lines, including why the Eagles are so fun and why the Patriots are the absolute worst. Then Mike fields a bunch of questions about Philadelphia sports history, Mikal premiers a new segment about SUPER BOWL SNACK FACTS, and Dave drops some NBA knowledge right at the buzzer.

We're back with another hour of the most true sports facts permissible by law, including some thoroughly on-brand stories: Blake Griffin's injury at the hands of JaVale McGee, the Brown's 0-16 parade, the Chiefs second half debacle, and Jon Gruden's catch phrases. PLUS: why do voice's crack, Joel Embiid and Markelle Fultz went to the mall, Weekend at Bernie's theory, Dr. J is OK again, what's up the score 33 in football, Andrew Bogut got released, and Bills and Bengals fans are doing something or other with buffalo wings.

Simon is out this week getting his braces fixed.  As a result, we offer a powerful reading of Kobe Bryant's epistolary masterwork "Dear Basketball," which raises meaningful questions about contemporary poetry, split-screens, socks, kenpark, and, eventually, Jose Canseco. Then Dave reports on the Magic Johnson/Isaiah Thomas friendship summit, updates us on how we should feel about Russell Westbrook, and drops some sincere knowledge about NBA scoring trends and analytics. Mike then floats his self-loathing theory that WHITE NERDS are the worst kind of fan, and finally Mikal tries to avoid a thoroughly problematic conversation about gender roles when he explains why boys are attracted to trains and balls.  And we forget to do Top Plays of the Week.
