It’s been a tough week but your Sports Lordz are here to offer you a new episode. We open the show in a somber mood by discussing the tragic accident that took the life of Kobe Bryant and 8 other people. We reflect on Kobe and his legacy and the impact he has had on sports. We then get back to our usual brand of douchebaggery and shift gears to the NFL and the “Big Game” that’s going down this Sunday between the Chiefs and 49ers. We make our picks and discuss how coaches should look like the cities they coach in, long for old school team music videos, and share an important PSA for all the “sports ball” people before they make asses of themselves this Sunday. We then look at a couple of controversial stories involving Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty and the New Orleans Saints front office getting mixed up with the Catholic Church and their indiscretions. Not good, folks! We wrap up the first segment by discussing Eli Manning’s retirement, a college coach competing to be the dumbest person alive, and how MLB umps will wear mics this upcoming season. What could go wrong? Later (53:51) we are joined by returning guest and good friend of the show, who is indeed still alive, Tony Soprano! Tony is heading down to Miami for the “Big Game” and tells us what he plans on doing while in Miami, who he’s rooting for, what he’s been up to and much, much more! We end this classic episode with another championship round of DABS (1:13:36)!
