The 10-27-2008 Show Recap/Download

On Monday we talked about great sports glories (and humiliations) of the common man, and took some calls on the subject. We touched on the NFL (London and steroids), the World Series and previewed Saturday's USC-Tennessee game.

The 10-20-2008 Show Recap/Download

We covered a lot on our 10-20-2008 show -- the USC-LSU heartbreaker, the B.c.S., the Barry Bonds collusion nonsense, the Devil Rays-Phillies World Series matchup, the inexplicable block laid on Stephen Garcia not by an LSU player but by a frickin' referee, and Sporting News' recently released Top 400 Sports Cities list (Columbia is no. 89).

Who Has the Best Wardrobe in Sports?

Don Cherry or Craig Sager?

It's a debate worth having.

The 10-13-2008 Show Recap/Download

Big show today. We had barely launched into a recap of South Carolina's 24-17 win over Kentucky when an alert listener called in with a bombshell: Tommy Bowden was out at Clemson. So fresh was this news that ESPN.com hadn't even picked it up yet – so you can officially consider The Sports Fools your source for hot breaking news! (Anyone?)

We touched on the rest of college football then turned to the NFL, including the latest chapter in the Adam "Pacman" Jones Upright Citizen's Guide to Living. In honor of Pacman, Chris adopted the handle "Space Invader" and Brad declared himself "Asteroids." Joe's pick: "Galaga."

We mentioned MLB playoffs and gave brief mention to the start of the NBA and college hoops.

The 10-06-2008 Show ...

... featured Brad and Chris in studio with Joe joining the party via the Willie Nelson Sports Fools Hotline.

For a change, we had good things to say about USC in the wake of Saturday's win over Ole Miss.

We had not-so-good things to say about the Cubs. We had so-so things to say about the NHL.

But most importantly, we might have finally figured out how to record the show digitally and reliably. Check back here soon and we might have a digital copy to share...

USC 31 - Ole Miss 24






A great game for us, and a huge win. It was very heartening to see the 95 yard drive near the end of the game to keep us in the lead.

Smelley looked about as good as possible, except for one weirdly out of place interception.

We'll be talking about the game extensively on Monday, so we'll skip the discussion. Here are some photos from Oxford instead.

The USC fans and band did their part all game long.


Cocky was on the case
