Episode 173
Show notes
Hello! It's the podcast that's gotta pay tons like Pritchard and Manning. Today, Katie and the Casualties break down a huge weekend in sports, from a bloody Will Ospreay at AEW All-In: London to vintage viewings of Butch Davis and the 2004 Cleveland Browns, Aaron Donald returning to the Rams, the list of familiar faces that got cut from the NFL on Sunday, the Pro Bowl disappearing, Odell Beckham reappearing, Josh Jacobs being place on the Commissioner's Exempt List, the insane story of scammer Daejon Love pretending to be on the 49ers active roster, and the even MORE insane story of the Cleveland Guardians prospect who may have faked his own death. Then, the team breaks down the Yankees-Red Sox series and why Katie may be done watching Boston baseball this year, Will Flemming's radio commentary, long showers, goofy minor league uniforms, the saga of Tarik Skubal stealing back the espresso machine from the Tigers clubhouse at his wife's request, Curacao's Little League World Series championship and the art of the bunt, Karl Ravech and Pete-Crow Armstrong getting very Gen Z, Joey Votto's nacho claim, the Seahawks' new owner claiming to be a Steelers fan, Cam Ward learning he didn't play well, passive aggressive football coaches, the possible end of Good Good Golf, and a round of Sports Mad Libs with a new rap sensation born in the darkness, molded by it. And Katie and the Casualties wrap with What to Watch in Sports this week.
