So here’s a great idea. Let’s take a sport that predates the existence of the modern Olympic Games themselves and remove it from the Olympic program. That won’t piss off too many people, right? In case you missed today’s shocking news, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) voted in a secret ballot today to remove wrestling [...]

June 23rd, 2012 · No Comments

Normally, I would have skipped by this show in record time, [...]

A Thank You From All Of Us
January 16th, 2012 · No Comments
With the recent success that we have seen at Audibly Offensive Radio, I thought I’d take a few minutes before we record this week’s show to get some things off my chest. They’re all positive, I promise. Let me start off by saying one thing. If you’re reading this, we would not be where we [...]

The Ultimate Walk Off
October 25th, 2010 · No Comments
There is no greater moment in sports than the walk-off. Bottom of the ninth, down by one with a runner on and someone blasts one into the nosebleed seats. If you’re a Red Sox fan, visions of Bucky (expletive deleted) Dent and Aaron (expletive deleted) Boone come flashing back to you like the thoughts of [...]

Ryder Cup Rebound
September 24th, 2008 · No Comments

Dropping the ball… er… baton
August 22nd, 2008 · No Comments
