Unsportsmanlike Conduct 99.5: QBs Cash In, Belichick's Fantasy Play, & MLB's Quiet Trades

The Pop Culture Pros Podcast Network

Welcome to a special edition of "Unsportsmanlike Conduct," Episode 99.5, where Farace, Tim, Anthony, and potentially Melo (pending his battle with the snooze button) dive into the latest in sports with all the grace of a linebacker at a ballet. First up, the guys tackle the latest QB contracts that have been flying off the desks this offseason. Tua, Trevor Lawrence, and others are making bank like they're printing it themselves. The hosts will explore these staggering figures with the kind of bewilderment usually reserved for understanding quantum physics, especially Tim, whose own contract negotiations with the vending machine are still deadlocked. Tomorrow marks the return of the NFL with the Hall of Fame game between the Texans and Bears. Expect the crew to give a preview that’s more speculative than a weather forecast in April. Farace will likely claim insider knowledge, based solely on his last Madden playthrough, while Anthony just hopes the game will distract everyone from his fantasy team’s dismal prospects. In a surprising twist, Bill Belichick has decided to create and co-produce a fantasy football show with Underdog Fantasy Sports, apparently after meeting with—and passing on—an offer from Farace to join PopCulturePros. The guys will discuss this missed connection, with Farace offering a play-by-play of the "what could have been," which is as detailed and accurate as his last ten sports predictions. The MLB trade deadline has come and gone, characterized more by the flurry of minor deals than any blockbuster trades. The hosts will dissect these moves with the insight of someone reading tea leaves, which is ironically how Anthony decides his fantasy baseball picks. And speaking of missing in action, Melo’s attendance hangs in the balance, victim to his nocturnal misadventures. The crew will speculate on his whereabouts with theories ranging from the plausible to the kind of conspiracy that would make a tabloid blush. Tune in to Episode 99.5 for your fix of sports chaos, mismanagement, and the kind of banter that makes you question how these guys even found the studio. It’s sports talk that’s almost as entertaining as watching the replay challenge on a clear-cut call. #NFL #MLB #PopCulturePros
