A football and hockey podcast breaking down the blitzes, breakaways, and bad decisions from a DMV sports fan’s perspective.
Hosted by a stat-loving Ravens and Capitals fan (who still roots for the Wizards and Nationals, for some reason), this show blends smart analysis with just enough sarcasm to get you through another heartbreaking season.
Expect data, laughs, and therapy — one zone read or power play at a time.
Episode 35 - Farewells, Eliminations, and Heart Attacks
The Ravens have taken years off of Kuney's life with two heart racing wins to improve to 3-1 on the season. Unfortunately, they came at a cost as Lamar Jackson will miss time with an ankle injury, BOTH Centers on the roster will miss time with injury, the secondary is banged up, Hendrickson is out, and Durham Smythe ruptured his Achilles. Did you catch all that? Nonetheless, this team is doing what it needs to win.
The Capitals are off to a 2-1 start with wins over division rivals the Hurricanes and Penguins, but a loss at the Tampa Bay Lightning. It is official, the 2027 season will be the last for Winger Alexander Ovechkin who announced his retirement this past Monday.
In addition, this team went how many years without making a conference final?? And what is the drama circulating the faces of two franchises?
1:56 Ravens - Analysis of the 34-31 walk off win at the Cowboys in Rio and the 24-18 win vs the Titans; as well as a scary outlook for Week 5 SNF at Atlanta and beyond.
