    93. St. John's Begins its March to Madness

    It's finally time to go dancing! We don't chat about St. John's too much on the podcast, but it's that time of the year again, so Will made sure to invite Larry Fleisher back to the show to talk about the Red Storm's performance in the Big East Tournament, as well as their prospects in the NCAA Tournament starting Friday night.  But alas, the conversation about St. John's continued with Erik and LeeJay, who didn't agree with St. John's getting a No. 5 seed for the second year in a row.  The Dummies also give their picks for the tournament. And don't forget, you can join our brackets challenge here! If one of our listeners can beat the Dummies, you get a segment on the podcast! Elsewhere, the Dummies chat about a variety of things, including NBA expansion, 80s sports icons, the WBC, Giants, Jets, and more NFL chatter involving a potential Thanksgiving Eve game.  And finally, LeeJay has a trivia game for us to play.  Timestamps 0:00: Erik's garage door woes; LeeJay plays footsie at the movie theater 21:23: Will chats with Larry about this current St. John's run 57:00: More St. John's chatter and our NCAA Tournament picks 1:31:00: Why are we playing basketball on a glass court? 1:41:19: Potential NBA expansion to Las Vegas and Seattle 1:51:50: Top 80s sports icons 2:07:54: WBC, USA vs. DR 2:25:55: Giants & Jets chatter 2:36:50: The NFL wants to add more Thanksgiving weekend games 2:44:17: Are you smarter than a Dominican or Puerto Rican?

    92. Geno Smith to the Jets, Giants Make Moves & NFL Free Agency Chaos

    This week was one of those situations where delaying the podcast a few days actually worked to our benefit! This year's NFL free agency period was insane, and both the Jets and Giants were right in the middle of it.  Geno Smith is back at quarterback for the Jets, and LeeJay is...ok with it? The Giants are looking much better on paper than they did last year. The big question at the end of the day for both teams is whether any of this will really matter? The Dummies also go through some of the major NFL moves.  We also chat briefly about the Knicks, Lou Holtz, St. John's, and the World Baseball Classic.  Our Mt. Rushmore this week is all about who we would want at the plate with the game on the line.  Please enjoy! Timestamps 0:00: There's a bat in Will's apartment 13:21: The Jets in free agency 31:31: The Giants in free agency 44:50: The rest of the NFL 1:01:29: Sports shorts; Mt. Rushmore Send a text

    91. Around the Horn on Jalen Brunson, Nolan McLean, and Carson Benge

    Let's face, this time of the year is tough for sports chatter. So, we figured we'd do something a little bit different: we each came to the table with a topic of our own.  LeeJay discussed Jalen Brunson and the Knicks, Erik talked about how Mets fans need to chill about anointing Nolan McLean the next best thing, and Will believes the Mets should start Carson Benge in right field to start the season.  Of course, we also have a lot of shenanigans in this particular episode as we criticize pizza and bagels made in Boston, high Knicks ticket prices, and a bunch of other things.  And finally, LeeJay has Will and Erik field a starting lineup that would be capable of winning the World Series.  Please enjoy!

    90. Adam Silver vs Tanking: NBA Draft Reform Ideas + Knicks Post All-Star Recap

    The NBA Draft has turned the NBA regular season into a “race to the bottom” and the league finally looks ready to do something about it. In Episode 90 of Two Dummies That Just Watch, Will and LeeJay dig into the NBA Draft 2026 / tanking problem, why it’s gotten so blatant (hello, Nets), and what changes could actually fix it. We react to Adam Silver’s frustration and the league’s latest signals that a crackdown is coming. Sticking to the NBA, we also check in on how the Knicks are doing post All-Star break. LeeJay is frustrated with the current state of Knicks analysis.  Our halftime topic is a bit out-of-this-world... On the other side of the break, we chat about the U.S. men's hockey team and the Mets.  To finish the episode, we get into the top 5 worst trades, signings, etc., for the teams we root for.  Timestamps 0:00: LeeJay is back!; blizzard chaos; Punch money 25:21: Anything LeeJay wants to comment on from the episodes he missed? 32:28: The NBA’s tanking problem comes to a head  54:42: Where are the Knicks?  1:17:43: Halftime topic, Aliens! 1:31:07: Oh, Canada, the sore losers! 1:44:25: Mets Spring Training update 1:54:52: "Top" worst signings for our teams Send a text

    89. Mets & Yankees 2026 Spring Training Preview

    Can you believe the Mets and Yankees play baseball this weekend?! It's that time of the year again as New York's baseball teams are in Florida preparing for the 2026 season.  Believe it or not, the Mets and the Yankees do have a lot of similarities heading into Opening Day next month. There are question marks surrounding both pitching staff, whether it's the starters or relievers. There's also a tremendous amount of pressure on both teams to go on playoff runs.  For the Mets, can the new faces elevate this team to the next level. For the Yankees, can they rely on the same faces to bring them back to the top of the American League? Larry Fleisher joins us this week for the Yankees segment.  Please enjoy! Send a text

    88. Fly Seahawks Fly: Seattle Wins Super Bowl 60

    The NFL season is officially in the books, and Super Bowl 60 is in the rearview mirror. This week on Two Dummies That Just Watch, Will Hernandez and Erik Pimentel recap the big game from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, where the Seattle Seahawks handled the New England Patriots and secured their second Super Bowl title in franchise history. It wasn’t a classic, but it still gave us plenty to chat about—what worked, what didn’t, and what it means heading into next season. From there, the Dummies hit the NBA trade deadline, where the New York Knicks made a sneaky-good move by landing Jose Alvarado, the Brooklyn native finally suiting up for the team he grew up rooting for. Plus: what’s going on with the Brooklyn Nets, and the messy situation surrounding the decision to move on from Cam Thomas. At halftime, Will and Erik switch gears into real-life talk: why suburban public transportation options can be so brutal. On the back half, it’s hoops and nostalgia with St. John’s basketball and the college teams they’ve stuck with through the years. Then it’s Mets Spring Training time—complete with the Dummies’ all-time Mets lineup. And because it’s a Will-and-Erik episode, you already know it ends in wrestling: a pro wrestling Mt. Rushmore for the most memorable jobbers/enhancement talent. Timestamps 9:28: Seahawks win Super Bowl 60 29:31: Knicks solidify backcourt at the NBA trade deadline 42:58: The Nets are the Nets 53:08: Halftime topic: Transportation in suburban areas (the lack of it) 1:03:44: St. John’s beats UConn at a sold out Madison Square Garden 1:22:47: All-time Mets Team Mt Rushmore of Jobbers (Enhancement Talent)   Send a text

    87. In Defense of Bill Belichick

    On this episode of Two Dummies That Just Watch, we kick things off with the 2026 Pro Football Hall of Fame voting controversy — and how the process may have kept Bill Belichick out on the first ballot (including the “80% / 40-of-50 selectors” detail and why the Hall put out a warning about leaks). We also get into the Eli Manning debate and what “first ballot” really means in the NFL context.  From there, we shift to Super Bowl 60 with preview of  the New England Patriots vs. the Seattle Seahawks — including the Vegas line, over/under, and our picks  And because it’s Super Bowl week, we close with a super-fun Mt. Rushmore of memorable Super Bowls, hitting everything from the Super Bowl LI comeback to Super Bowl XLVI, plus classic moments like the blackout game and the John Elway “helicopter” play.  Send a text
