Rob King and David Ingber, two writers for the sports comedy site The Kicker, put each other on the defensive by forcing one another to take the other side of various debates, as they discuss the biggest, silliest, weirdest, and most volatile topics in sports. With fast-paced jokes and a flat-out refusal to do real research, these two give sports fans exactly what they want: ridiculous hot takes. All while attempting not to destroy their decade-long friendship.

    Ep. 111: Another Pats Super Bowl, And Harden Is Absurd

    Two things are certain this time of year: the Patriots will be in the Super Bowl, and Rob will delusionally think the Jets are there instead. What's left to say about Brady and Co at this point?? Rob and Dave say all of it. Also, some tennis discussion about who has the highest highs of the men's Big Three. There's some major Harden love and hateration as he continues his scoring tornado. But most importantly, stick around for the end. Or skip to the end, we're not your nannies. But Dave goes on a parenting rant the likes of which we have not seen. It has nothing to do with sports, other than his rageful passion matched only by MJ's flu game.

    AFC/NFC Title Previews, and An Improvised Sports TV Show

    Rob and Dave are back with an old standby: the improvised sports TV pilot idea. It's "Pitch" meets "The Replacements" meets "Draft Day" with a whole bunch of other weird stuff thrown in there. And if you'd like to steal it, the guys kindly ask that you don't? Honor system, folks.  Plus, Dave has the drop on an epic reverse jinx to make sure the Chiefs crap the bed, and Rob is a firm believer that everyone in the NFC is a big old fraud.  There's a bit of tennis legend talk, but mostly, it's just an improvisation away from selling an idea to CBS and insta-fame. Join us!

    Ep. 110: Clemson Rocks and NFL Playoff Rd 2 Predictions

    Remember the Titans? Well, Rob and Dave do. They welcome in the New Year starting with the College Football Championship, and Clemson's blowout win led by Trevor "Sunshine" Lawrence. Also, get ready for some hot takes with the NFL playoffs. Will Andrew Luck's blue collar QB play be enough to take down Patrick Mahomes' flashy game? Dave thinks so.  Lastly, Rob has some weird info to reveal about the anatomy of Rams coach Sean McVay. It's...weird.

    Ep. 109: LeBron, Lonzo and LaTriple-Doubles

    The Patriots' run is OFFICIALLY over. LeBron, Lonzo, AND a mystery guest had an unprecedented triple-triple-double on the Lakers. And Dave has finally settled on the best quarterback in the league. No spoilers, but it's definitely Josh Allen.    Plus, there's some ranting about Christmas music, the Eagles have an insane new nickname, Dave makes Rob VERY uncomfortable with some new basketball terminology, and Rob is calling out all future generations of fact-checkers in a new segment called "Your new baby means NOTHING to me, Krahn."   Yup, it's nothing but love and happiness on this holiday special episode of TKP!!

    Ep. 108: Dave Is Very Not Okay With That Patriots Loss

    If you re-drafted this season, who would be the top five quarterbacks? If the ball family got a spin off, who would be the star? If Dave could coach the Patriots, what would be the all-time super duper crazy insane fantasy play that would never actually happened but that we can still dream about happening? All these questions and more get answered in the most recent edition of the Kicker Podcast. Oh, and what would this episode be without a major self-effacing callback to the worst fantasy football loss in TKP history... via an online quiz game???

    Ep. 106: Mike McCarthy Is OUT, But Sexy Stats About Saquon and Mahomes are In

    Rob and Dave are digging in to this week's best (primarily football) sports stories, including the way that Eli Manning has learn how to bend the spacetime continuum when throwing passes this year.    Also, they talk about how Bill Belichick's nefarious plans to take over the NFL over the next 60 years factors into the Packers' big decision, now that Mike McCarthy has been shown the cheesy Wisconsin door.   And speaking of Wisconsin... there's some... COLLEGE FOOTBALL TALK?? That's right! Rob and Dave have both, independently, consumed several, that's right several, halves of compelling NCAA football recently. And just like Charles Barkley during the NCAA Tournament every March, they've got some VERY strong opinions based on very little than the very recent eye test.    Make sure to subscribe on iTunes to get every TKP episode!!!

    Ep. 104: Dez, Le'Veon, and LaMelo are all Back!

    Sometimes, the news stories just conspire in the world to create a special day where Rob and Dave have something very passionate to say about everything. This is one of those days.    Dave gets VERY excited to bash a certain player on the Celtics (!?!?), and Rob has a whole lot of thoughts on his best friend/younger brother/favorite nephew LaMelo Ball finally being released from his Lithuanian gulag.    Plus, the All-Star draft will be televised!! It's truly a dream come true banner day
