https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brat_Pack_%28comics%29 I think rogers is remembering this comic brat pack. It was written by Rick vietch who followed Alan Moore on swamp thing and I think went crazy
My mom had that Burt Ward book, I felt dirty reading it. The cover ours had was a close up of his crotch and legs in the Robin costume. Great Bruce Lee stories in there, they were neighbors during the Green Hornet years and Lee taught Ward some martial arts stuff. Very horny autobiography.
Stranger's genuine concern for Gabrus when he said he didn't drink water on vacation really cracked me up
@gabrus you can unscrew a light bulb
The Eagles were so sure from an organizational level that the patriots filmed their practice leading up to the 2004 Super Bowl, that when they refaced the patriots in 2017 they basically did counter intelligence leading up to the game. Fake plays, 13 people in formation with 2 fake players running dummy routes, practices indoors, heightened security etc.
Stanger's Robert Evans impression is great! Rodgers' Trump impression gets funnier every time. Gabrus? He's just happy to be here.
This ep occasioned my reading Ebert's review of The Longest Yard remake, which is pretty funny and worth reading. Barely talks about the movie, just speaks honestly about the predicament that at the time of writing he'd already given the movie thumbs up on his show, but has since been to the Cannes film festival and forgotten the movie and why he recommended it. Reviews like this are what set Ebert apart. https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-longest-yard-2005
Somebody died today. See the news for context, but I’m going to drop this here: https://youtu.be/XU7gnMSzf_c?si=NSL2-7Yeiz5dNFpD

Considering the gambling conversation and the boyz overall interest in football. Do u guys take part in fantasy football at all?
Jon staying alive one Thursday to the next like I run mailbox to mailbox.
Do ‘Youngblood’ you buttholes
❤️ My Blue Heaven lol.
Has anyone seen the old video of Chris Berman in between segments talking about taking codeine filled Canadian Tylenol before doing the highlights for a bad week of football? Would be a good video for a Sportstember shadow wolves intro.

Guys don’t even remember PAULIE from REACHER
Have the boyz ever mentioned the movie Blood In, Blood Out? Was constantly on TV I feel.
Didn't they change the title to Bound by Honor in mid-marketing?
Hell yeah
Too bad this one’s not on Tubi or PlutoTV. The only movies I skip that you guys do are westerns and most of Sportstember. (Unless they’re streaming free)

Hey loved this one but just started Future Sport and holy shit can’t wait for Zombie Squad episode. This looks like a ABZ 5 course meal with a chef’s kiss!
It would be cool if quarterbacks still wore numbers in the low 20s
Why what does it mean
I saw Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann in a theater when I was 8 years old and I don’t think I’ve seen or heard about it since. I remember it being good but I was 8 and it has a guy riding a dirt bike in the old west so I might me misremembering.
I think I saw it on HBO a million years and rebrandings ago.
Bob Odenkirk had a pretty notorious one man show basically doing Robert Evans the whole time. We got a taste of it for Mr. Show's "God's book on tape" sketch. It's an idea that's so good and so well-executed, it deserves all it got and more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Bcj14h3jco&t=108s&ab_channel=LawrenceLeGallo
Val-Vegas has updated ABZ death odds now on Kraft Dings. Gabrus is giving -50.
He's suspected of year-shaving.
Speaking of Joe Kapp, I remember as a kid in the 80s he was the head coach of Cal football during one of their more epic fallow periods. Fans were so embarrassed they used to show up at games with paper bags over their heads with eye holes cut out. They were referred to as “Night Kapps.”
Shadow Wolves cold open has to be reacting to the 37U football videos all over Tiktok and instagram.
I just wanted to mention that there was a British remake of this called "The Mean Machine". The game was a soccer match, for obvious reasons. Vinnie Jones played the Burt role and Jason Statham played an unhinged goalie who is constantly spoiling for a fight. It's watchable but it's also obscure for a reason. https://youtu.be/JRqlJQNYv_g?si=2P59OUB1Mo0ArDM4
How is Vinnie Jones viewed by Brits?
The way Bob says "Rio de Janeiro" in that Mr Show "Overcome" sketch is absolutely perfect. Right up there with "totally grungified" in No Adults Allowed.
I can't hear "swamp thing" with out thinking "there is a sadness to him"
Specialty Season 2025 LFG! Sports Boys intro “are you ready for this four hour podcast” never fails to get a chuckle out me!
I love that every time somebody brings up Charlton Heston, you always hear Gabrus in the background, “ 📞 Who’s this?”
HOW THE HELL SHOULD I KNOW?
In the military you have to dress the same and do the same shitty job with people from all over and all races. Maybe we should do the mandatory 2 years military thing when people finish high school, too many people never leave their state even
I've floated the idea to everyone I know - after high school, you either do 2 years in the military or have to go to another city in another state to do volunteer work. Making people actually realize there's other humans with other views and beliefs and colors might help build some semblance of empathy and community. Maybe.
Burt was such a stud
Bernadette Peters lives in my neighborhood: she looks great, is always surprisingly smaller than I expect, does a lot of dog rescue work, no notes.
Tell her I said what up.
Coincidently, yesterday I saw a clip of the remake on a wrestling review YouTube video.It had Steve Austin yelling at Kevin Nash, then Nash making a face in a way to make Austin break character. That brief clip was funny enough, that I might actually have to give it a try.
When i say im witchu, i mean…I’m …witchu
As I recall, The Simpsons Behind the Music ep, told the audience what state they are from. In the reruns, they changed the name but I remember the initial airing that they were from Kentucky.
Always loved Burt because he's a FSU legend. Recently came across him surprising Bobby Bowden on the Tonight Show. It's a great clip - https://youtu.be/U9EwP6vbK0c?si=dP6f4plswb4YwsdH
Hustle (1975) is Reynolds best acting. With or without moustache. (Without in this one). Probably his best movie ever.
Thank you!
Don’t know if this question has been asked before: have the action boyz ever seen clips or footage of Australian Rules Football (AFL)? If so, what did you guys think of it?
Boo, League rules
Damn it's Sportstember already!?
I just logged on and was like “oh yeah! sportstember is here!”
