This week in 8Ball Sports: We were off a week so we review what we’ve been up to. We discuss the merits of John Mayer joining Dead & Company. There’s also a little World Cup and Wimbledon talk.

This week in 8Ball Sports We review Tommy’s hernia surgery while previewing Marc’s birthday plans all while discussing Eric’s new bar, The Rye Fox in LA. The logical progression is to go from that to DiamonBacks relief pitcher, Archie Bradley pooping himself before taking the mound to pitch. Poopy pants naturally progresses to murder. So we discuss the dead body in Janoris Jenkins’ house. Then we move onto baseball. Marc tells Tommy & Eric about  Alexa talking to an owner with the unprompted exclamation that “When I close my eyes, all I see is people dying”.  We also discuss getting everyone together in the same place and how listeners can help the cause!

This week in 8Ball Sports First Half: The Capitals lost the first game of the Stanley Cup to the Las Vegas Golden Knights. What will the rest of the series look like? How did both teams get there? The Caps were not supposed to be as good as the last few years and the Knights were a group of throwaways from an expansion draft. How did the guys spend Memorial Day? How is Marc’s dad doing? Second Half: This is when it got out of control. We discuss the worst songs ever sung by sports teams. Tommy talks about Sean Spicer showing up at the Jim Jefferies taping.

Then Brian McAloon takes the mic and discusses how in the hell sporting events are produced and directed.

And what did Eric do while Tommy was wheezing all weekend? What ever happened to The World’s Strongest Man Competition? Then we move onto Tommy’s golf game versus Kim Jong Il’s famous game? We touch on some Hollywood Gossip. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? We wrap up the half with how bad DC sports is and if the Caps can win the Stanley Cup.

How is LeBron performing lately? Tommy weirds out an MLB coach. Then we review Cole Beasley’s album. And we discuss entering the lottery for Masters tickets next year. Then Eric opens a can of chew. Second Half: We are joined by former Orioles manager, Earl Weaver. He spares a few moments to tell us how he feels about the Orioles performance this year. Next, we discuss the Capitals chances of going to the Stanley Cup Finals. That quickly turns into a discussion on seeking revenge on people if we won the lottery. And finally, whatever happened to MLB pitcher Steve Howe?

This week in 8Ball Sports: First Half How was Cinco de Mayo? We discuss our weekend. We also get an update on Tommy’s co-habitation status.  From there we move onto the NHL. How are the playoffs progressing? Moving to the NFL, the N.O. Saints RB Mark Ingram is suspended for 4 games for PED use. That transitions naturally to Jim Jefferies on Conan O’Brien. We also talk about the NFL and cheerleaders, plus a lot more. Second Half We start off on Tommy’s favorite sport…soccer. Will anyone be watching the World Cup? Or will more people have watched the Black Pudding Toss World Championship. And how do you even win that competition?

This week in 8Ball Sports: This week’s show is a one act affair. We review our weekends. Who attended a music festival and who wound up in the emergency room? Or was it the same person? Then we do a little NFL Draft review. Who was smart? Who was dumb (Cleveland)? Who sounded like a 12 year old girl while taunting the home crowd? Eric spills whiskey. That gives us an idea for a future show. Eric also delves into some interesting family history. That morphs into a discussion about Al Bundy. We wrap up with a little baseball talk.

We're joined by Jim Jefferies of the Jim Jefferies Show on Comedy Central to talk baseball, soccer, & cocaine (FINALLY).

First Half: This week, 8Ball Sports pays tribute to host Mike Harar. No he’s not dead, but he is taking a break. No one knows if this is permanent, but we’re treating it as if it is. We have some listener responses to the leaked info, including some audio from Jacksonville Jaguar LB, Telvin Smith. Then we talk about the Mets/Nats games, the general lack of offense in the MLB, and how many teams can really make the playoffs? Are some teams already out of it?

Eric brings up the evolution of helmets in sports and how it’s turning athletes into wimps. Then we discuss the comedic value of urinating on a picture of Pittsburgh Penguin Sidney Crosby.

We wrap up with speculation about Dez Bryant.

Maybe that’s why the Marlins think they should be HQ’d in the British Virgin Islands. And how about the start the Mets are having? We are interrupted midway through this Act by comedian and main squeeze of Tommy Caprio, Jaclyn Marfuggi. What’s her big news? We wrap up the segment remembering Mitzi Shore. Act 2 We come back and discuss Mike’s toy collection from the 80’s. What happens when a Kardashian dates an NBA player? You can probably figure that one out on your own, but listen to our thoughts. That transitions smoothly into the guys giving Jaclyn & Tommy some relationship advice. Then we answer listener questions, like “If you could play a sport with your favorite athlete, what would you play and with whom?” Act 3 We are joined by our first Patreon supporter, Eris Strigh. We find out what Eric owes her, how she found our show, and more. We also discuss current events, like a particular

First Half Mike has gone missing again. Some say he’s a secret agent. Some say he has a family and responsibilities. Still others say he’s getting a third ball installed. Marc, Tommy, & Eric soldier on with talk of the March Madness Tournament and who won our pool. Next we move on to the Masters. Who’s in the lead? Who had a meltdown? Where is Tiger? Next is the MLB and our way too early impressions of how the divisions could shape up. Second Half We have a winner! Who is our Patreon supporter? What has he or she won? Why does everyone love Phil Mickelson? We introduce a new segment; 8Ball Sports Presents: Where Are They Now? This episode focuses on everyone’s favorite FIFA presidential candidate; Tokyo Sexwale. The NHL playoffs are almost here. What is happening there? Then we wrap up by reminiscing about how we all met and proclaiming our hunger.  

Act 1 In an extended First Act, Mike is back, Eric is here for one segment, & Tommy is missing. Thank God for Marc. Act One focuses on Tommy’s disappearance, Eric’s sleep remedy, and Opening Day for Major League Baseball. Something happened this year that hasn’t happened in over 30 years.

Act 1 Quarterback guru and ESPN analyst George Whitfield joins us for a special edition of 8Ball Sports. We discuss the QB class in the upcoming draft class. Who is rising to the top and who is being undervalued? What is a “regional NFL Combine”? What impact will the Kirk Cousins/Minnesota Vikings contract have on upcoming NFL contracts? We also talk about several of the QB moves in free agency. Who is in the right spot to succeed? We wrap up with an update on Johnny Manziel’s comeback. What’s behind it? Is it for real? What options is Johnny considering? Follow George here: Twitter -  @WhitAthletix & @georgewhitfield Instagram - @georgewhitfieldjr & whitfieldathletix www.whitfieldathletix.com

Act 1 Where in the world is Mike HararDiego? We know, but we don’t know, you know? We dance around the subject for a bit. Then the remaining six balls talk about St. Patrick’s Day and what they did for the first round of March Madness. Tommy discusses his test results and Marc talks about his dad’s move from Alabama to Virginia. Act 2 Marc talk to Alabama Crimson Tide defensive end, Da’Shawn Hand. How did he go from living in Northern Virginia to playing defensive end for Nick Saban in Tuscaloosa, AL? What has been his favorite  memory from playing in 3 (yes 3) National Championship games? We play some trivia and schedule some quality time with llamas. Act 3 Eric & Tommy come to terms with their alcohol consumption. Mike is still missing. Baseball is starting next week, the NFL Draft is looming, and we discuss team needs for both sports.

Act I 8Ball Sports presents an exclusive interview with the head coach of the CFL’s Toronto Argonauts, Marc Trestman. We talk about where he began his career in the NCAA and some of the notable people who have flourished under his coaching in the NFL. He also gives us a head coach’s view of the NFL Combine and Draft. How does the CFL differ from the NFL? And how did he take a team that was dead last and take them all the way to the Grey Cup championship in one season? Finally, I quiz Coach on himself. Enjoy this special mini-episode of 8Ball Sports.

Act I Tommy describes his most recent drunk Wendy’s experience. From there it’s a smooth transition to the NFL’s “legal tampering” period. It’s like the unofficial beginning of Free Agency. There was a lot of movement around the league. We break it down as only we can. Eric gives us his review of last week’s show. Act II In this segment, we discuss our March Madness college basketball brackets. Eric gives us his Cinderella pick of the tournament. There were some snubs and some obvious pandering. We discuss what that’s all about. We end the segment with listener questions. Act III This segment opens with Eric’s upcoming court appearance and Tommy’s sperm count. That somehow morphs into a discussion on MLB starting pitcher, Jake Arrieta and Tim Tebow getting cut from the Mets.
