F**king Sports

In Episode XXV, Kolsky and Hopkins spend an awful lot of time talking about music and television, particularly given that the name of this podcast is Fucking Sports. That being said, each of the gentlemen brought a delightful musical selection to today's table, followed by a brief discussion of history's best television programs and a frustratingly serious turn to the sports world for a discussion about Aldon Smith's recent off-field troubles... Stay tuned to the very end for hilarious hockey hijinks!! Enjoy!

In Episode XXIV, Kolsky and Hopkins take a substantial detour into the pre-show planning session, then relive the harrowing past 20-plus hours of Hopkins' life before finally getting to sports. In sports, it's time to get serious about officiating, and your hosts are nothing if not serious. There's been a lot of poor refereeing and what not going on, and SOMEBODY has got to do something about it... You will NOT have the opportunity to call in rules violations after consuming the slow-motion replay of this podcast!! Enjoy!

In Episode XXII, Kolsky and Hopkins are reunited (and it feeeeels so goooooood!!!)... They pick up the frayed thread of Kolsky's quarterback-focused train of thought from last week, ultimately delivering a sort of State of the QB Address. Also included: Revisions and Improvements (complete with a makeshift public service announcement) and an all-new segment that very well could have been named Terrible Tattoo Tales... Don't miss the strangely disturbing and anticlimactic final moments, when the boys bring you down with sad tales of maladjusted youth!! Enjoy!

In Episode XXII, Kolsky and Hopkins-- wait... where's Hopkins???? ANDREW?????? Uh oh... In Episode XXII, Kolsky is left to his own devices, so he huddles over his computer, outdoors, after midnight and rants nonsensically about vaguely NFL-related issues that upset him in his darker times... For instance: why do people keep insisting on calling Alex Smith an "above average quarterback"?? Just thinking about it is infuriating... Listening to this episode alone could cause paranoia, feelings of depression, upset stomach and/or death!! Enjoy!

In Episode XXI, Kolsky and Hopkins pledge never to bore you with disorganized soundbite-playing or article-reading again, then read some articles and play some disorganized sound... They also revisit some of last week's more interesting topics (PEDs and Title IX) with some fresh information and perspective... PLUS -- hear Kolsky's multi-year high stakes fantasy football keeper league team collapse LIVE on the podcast!! Enjoy!

In Episode XX, Kolsky and Hopkins begin with an impromptu accounting of Jewish rappers (thanks, Larry King) and talk about PEDs (aka medicine), golfer tweets (YEAH PLAYAH!!) and the Little League World Series. Stay tuned until the VERY end for a special outtake segment... SING! Enjoy!

In Episode XIX, Kolsky and Hopkins enjoy Outside Lands, the San Francisco music festival, while discussing Michael Jordan's leaping ability, the hypocrisy of the NCAA and its treatment of college athletes in the wake of the Johnny Manziel scandal and some auto racing... Today's technical difficulties did NOT ruin the product -- they just make Kolsky sound like shit!! Enjoy!

In Episode XVIII, Kolsky and Hopkins bring you what you were probably worried you would never get -- the reenactment of last week's Anna Benson breakdown (which, in this case, is just a delightful double entendre). Ok, maybe you weren't too worried about it; in fact, maybe you hadn't really thought about it at all, but that doesn't mean it isn't tantalizingly titillating. Throw in a quick discussion of RGIII's extra-marital (or should we say mid-marital) activities, and you've really got something... Listen to this NOW, or Kolsky's coming to your house in a bulletproof vest with a baton!!! Enjoy!

In Episode XVII, Kolsky and Hopkins recorded a high-quality hour of high-level discourse about the Trayvon Martin and Anna Benson's insanity, only to find that they fucked up yet another recording -- and believe it or not, this one's fucked in a new way!! So instead of that delightful hour, you get a few minutes of make-up pod (largely about Chris Davis and baseball's home run record). It's worse than make-up sex but better than make-believe sex!!

In Episode XVI, Kolsky and Hopkins get to know the reggae side of Eddie Murphy, spend some seriously serious (and slightly irate) time discussing the Aaron Hernandez debacle, and learn a thing or two about the ladies [who play golf]... Title IX was upheld in the recording of this podcast!! Enjoy!

In Episode XV, Kolsky and Hopkins discuss the logistics of a failed cover-up, the obnoxious hullabaloo surrounding a coach getting traded and much more -- all from the newly-acquired, unadorned Hopkins 1 Studios... The pizza break is barely noticeable!!

In Episode XIV, Kolsky and Hopkins cover a laundry list of Revisions & Improvements, reprise "We've Got To Talk About This Fucking Music," and then dive deep into some hardcore sports topics (the Marlins' empty stadium, the difficulties of DVRing sporting events, etc) before analyzing Kolsky's relationship with Channing Tatum... Family, mantlepiece... Pull up in the Mickey Mantle fleece... (that will make only slightly more sense later)... Enjoy!

In Episode XIII, Kolsky and Hopkins attempt to process the madness of Gerrie Burke and last week's episode, debut a new music-based segment (complete with production elements!!), discuss athletes abandoning their childhood fandom and then proceed to devolve into a strange non-sports discussion before abruptly departing... This week's recording problems did NOT result in irretrievable audio!! Enjoy!

In Episode XII, Kolsky and Hopkins travel to the fine city of San Francisco, where they visit one Gerrie Burke -- radio veteran and consummate degenerate. After yet another recording gone wrong (at a certain point, it's hard to believe there is any radio experience in this group) they journey through time and space to travel the road of Gerrie's bizarre life and career in radio... This is Part 1B (a companion piece to the forever lost Part 1A) of an ongoing, multi-part, to-be-continued Gerrie Burke podcast... Don't let him scare you, he doesn't bite. Usually... Enjoy!

In Episode XI, Kolsky and Hopkins defend RGIII from haters who want him to return wedding gifts from fans, talk about the excitement of playoff hockey and wonder why it doesn't translate to more regular-season fans, and then hop off the sports page to talk about texting... If you like to text with '2's and 'u's, be prepared to be taken to fucking task, but still... Enjoy!

In Episode X, Kolsky and Hopkins agree on an awesome band, talk about horse racing (and why it has become something that nobody gives a flying fuck about anymore) and also tackle the news of baseball augmenting their instant replay capabilities (conclusion -- it's about fucking time)... This podcast and about $2.00 will get you on a city bus!! Enjoy!

In Episode IX, Hopkins takes the metaphorical wheel (of the podcast) while Kolsky is taking a more literal wheel (of his car) driving up I-5 from Los Angeles to the Bay Area... The results include an alarming amount of toilet talk, an inadvertent (and somewhat embarrassing) Kolsky detour, and the occasional dropped phone call... And in sports, the guys talk about how chicks should STOP digging the long ball! Enjoy!

In Episode VIII, Kolsky and Hopkins do some post-NFL Draft reaction (vomit), debut the "Fucked Up Shit Happens to Hopkins" segment for the second time, and talk a little bit about NBA Playoffs and fringe sports (wherein Kolsky cannot resist lauding his own accomplishments)... ENJOY!!

In Episode VII, Kolsky and Hopkins deal with yet another round of debilitating audio issues by relocating to Kolsky 2 Studios -- also known as the outdoor deck -- for a shorty on the NFL Draft. Seriously, why the fuck do we put up with this drawn-out broadcast of nothing?!?! The gentlemen discuss... Enjoy!

In Episode VI, Kolsky and Hopkins introduce the Revisions and Improvements Department (not by name, of course), take a brief digression into the punk bitchitude of Rip Hamilton, and then spend some good quality time discussing violence in sports. Does violence have a place in sports? In a word, YES! But where? And WHEN?? So much to discuss... Enjoy!
