[086] We are back, baby!

Posted on July 12, 2019 by Ralph Phillips

Down but not out! With our return, Molly and Ralph discuss Ryan Smith being suspended and whether we think he will even make the team now. How much kidney stones, birthing a baby, and food poisoning suck. But what doesn’t suck is the new Buccaneers! Ralph is positive that the Bucs are going to catch the league by surprise and goes on, what could be described as, an overzealous rant about it. Go Bucs!

Posted on June 21, 2019 by Ralph Phillips

Gerald McCoy, or Gerald McClown if you look at what he was wearing and how he was acting, appears on Undisputed, whining about the lack of respect shown to him by the Buccaneers organization. We have a lot to talk about that. Plus, Chris Collinsworth’s homoerotic style, Bruce Arians’ interview with Rick Stroud (who impresses Molly with his Jon Gruden impersonation), our thoughts on the train wreck of the Raiders being on Hard Knocks, our jersey collections, why Ralph quit his job as a street sweeper in the 90s, and more.
