Know When To Holcomb

November 10, 2020 10:30 - 40 minutes - 76.1 MB

Cleveland Browns fans know pain. NFL journeyman Kelly Holcomb once tried to ease that pain with a playoff performance in the 2002 wildcard round against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He didn't complete the victory, but the dawg pound remembers the attempt. On this episode I rock it solo, NO GUEST, as I chat about our featured QB, traveling across country, calling my father "daddio", shitty sketch comedy and more. I also hint at the world ending because I recorded this six hours before we knew who...

Stop And Smell The Rosenfels (with Alex Gettlin)

October 27, 2020 09:32 - 1 hour - 133 MB

Sage Rosenfels went 6-6 as a starter. His QB Rating was 81.2. He threw 30 touchdowns & 29 interceptions. When you look up average in the dictionary, you'll see the definition of average. But for a moment, imagine that definition personified as a lazy hack comic writing a joke one step above an internet meme about how when you look up "average" in the dictionary you'll see a photo of Sage Rosenfels. You get it. Jokes are hard to write. On this pod I chat about getting screwed by theater kids ...

When Life Gives You Lemon (with Ray Easter)

October 13, 2020 09:10 - 59 minutes - 71.1 MB

When you google Cleo Lemon, all you get is a grainy photo of a homeless man masterbating at midfield in an empty high school football stadium in Jacksonville. No longer. In this ep I talk about Cleo's epic overtime win to save Miami from a win-less season, Canadian football, and how having a home makes you weak. I also interview Ray Easter (Laugh After Dark on Amazon Prime) who totally remembers Cleo Lemon and hates Redskins fans. I know we can't say "Redskins" anymore, but can we type it? I...

Koy Detmer played in the NFL for 10 years.
