Death By Dinosaur

Andrew Luck shocks the football world, and calls it quits in Indianapolis. Ex-NFL Fullback Le'Ron McClain pleads for help in his fight against concussion syndrome. An American-born Pro BMX racer betrays the red, white, and blue. Should athletes be allowed to compete for other countries during international competition?

The sports world continues to shit on NFL placekickers, after female soccer star Carli Lloyd takes seven steps to kick a field goal. The XFL unveils their new football franchises, and I cover the latest selfish-millennial-drama from Ezekiel Elliott in Dallas. Finally, I discuss my trip to the NorCal BMX national event, and why the sanction should send me a Christmas card every year.

BMX racing is dead AF right now, and the lack of compelling stories isn't helping matters. In the NFL, Ezekiel Elliott is holding the Dallas Cowboys hostage over a new contract, and Antonio Brown's feet look like death. Finally, ESPN's Max Kellerman is still bitter that Tom Brady stole his girlfriend back in high school.

Team USA got smacked around at the UCI BMX World Championships in Belgium; have Americans gotten too soft? The Houston Rockets launch "Iso-City" on the NBA, and Running Back Melvin Gordon holds out of Los Angeles Chargers training camp. In MLB news, the Cincinnati Reds beat up the Pittsburgh Pirates--literally.

The road to the NBA Championship will go straight through Los Angeles. Zion Williamson could have been Emperor of China, but signed the wrong big-time shoe deal. Adrian Peterson spent $100 million on birthday parties and baby-mamas, and on the BMX racing front I analyze how pro-ams have contributed to the demise of the US pro class.

Boxing legend Floyd "Money" Mayweather gets his ankles broken in a game of basketball, the city of New York struggles to stay relevant in the NBA, and I question why global shoe icon Vans seems to have turned its back on the BMX race industry.

Only in America can a person get a free ride to college, earn lots of money kicking a soccer ball, enjoy an entire month publicly celebrating her sexuality, and STILL claim to be a victim. In other news, Texans are mourning the death of fast-food-sellout Whataburger, and a long-standing BMX track in Louisiana takes its ball and goes home.

The first domino has fallen... a global distribution giant shakes up the BMX industry! Game of Thrones disappoints all of Earth (and probably the universe), a Golden Girls obsession lands an ex-NFL superstar in hot water, and apparently there are some weirdos in this world that eat cinnamon rolls with chili.

I talk about the ongoing NBA Playoffs, and fallout from the recent NBA Draft Lottery. Maybe we could apply some of the same policies to BMX teams that make other leagues and competitions so wildly entertaining? Roster limits, annual drafts, and even teams divided by region seem to make good sense...

This is my personal countdown of the (12) best innovations in the sport of BMX racing. Seriously, kids these days have no idea how easy they have it!

Pick-up basketball sure has changed--and getting old sucks! I provide a truly-biased review of the NBA playoffs, as well as a painful summary of my keto experience. On the BMX front, perhaps it's time to change the marketing scheme to something besides "no one sits the bench in BMX."

On this episode I talk about my addiction to Game of Thrones, as well as the useless $35 million Mueller Report paperweight. In true keto-guy fashion, I'll also tell you about my recent transition to a meat-and-cheese-heavy diet. Finally, I talk about the evolution of helmets in the BMX industry!

Tiger Woods makes grown men cry during his redemption at the Masters. After a close call in Oregon, the BMX community continues its time-honored tradition of "lift the rug and sweep." And, finally, I debunk (7) dipshit arguments currently floating around on the interwebs. Spoiler Alert: BMX Dads are not in fact Gremlins!

On this episode I discuss the similarities between horse racing and BMX, as well as a recent string of tragic equine fatalities at Santa Anita. I also explore the potential benefits of slowing the sport down to increase the overall entertainment value of BMX racing action. Does top speed matter more to fans, or the chaotic passing action that occurs between the starting gate and finish line?

Inline skates threatened skateboarding's reign back in the 90's--then boarders banded together to clown them right out of existence! E-bikes now threaten traditional forms of cycling like road, mountain, and even BMX. Will these stalwart disciplines fight off the dark cloud of E-technology in an effort to maintain two-wheel purity?

On today's show I discuss why we need more alcohol in BMX, the trading away of diva wide receivers during NFL free agency, as well as some truly epic old-school BMX videos.

Podcasting is much harder than it looks, Duke City BMX separates the lions from the lambs, and re-evaluating the BMX classification system. Are you really an Expert?

USA BMX designed some awesome digital camouflage uniforms for the 2019 Worlds in Belgium. Then prompty wussed out and went toward a more traditional red, white, and blue color scheme. And always a man of the people, Robert Kraft gets busted at an oriental massage parlor...

Anytime there's an issue brought to light in the sport of BMX, there's a train of privileged sanction ass-kissers waiting to tell the have-nots to "be quiet." Pros continue to train like Olympians and make a pittance, as the sport continues its downhill slide. Pop in any Salma Hayek movie, that usually cheers me right up!

As a guy who played high school basketball at a 2A Texas powerhouse (a whopping 68 students in my graduating class), I provide semi-expert analysis of what's going on in the NBA this season. I revel in the fact that my nemesis is suspended from the sport of BMX via the cycling death penalty, and the gloves come off as I make a mockery of his illiteracy.
