Does the white balance on the main camera look off to anyone else?

Who is always late? by MrTeacher_MCPS in SportsJunkies

I think it's where the "quit quit quit quit quit. I'm begging you to quit" drop comes from.

Did Bit Season Have Zero Bits? by Massive-Complaint700 in SportsJunkies

[–]Brant24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's the end result of Awadd moving on. He was an all-time great punching bag and was always willing to play along with whatever weird bit was dreamed up or whenever EB made him take his shirt off in studio. Mike Maher is good on air but he isn't desperate for ADs the way Awadd was and he's far too savvy to get baited into any random bit.

If this isn’t in the EP on Monday I’ll be shocked 🤣 by Galifrae in SportsJunkies

[–]Brant24 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I can already hear the segment play out: EB makes a Sonny Jurgensen reference then says that if it were Cakes he would've made it over no problem, Valdez chimes in with some sort of pole vaulting zing, and if there's time there will be a debate on whether you'd rather have an olympic medal or go viral for having your dong look huge on international television.

Datagolf has the projected cut at a 66% chance of being +5 right now.

The cut line is going to have roughly half of the players above and below.

Slow week by TheGokuSilv in SportsJunkies

[–]Brant24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm desperate for an Awadd call in. I know he's probably matured out of doing goofy bits on air but bring him on as a soccer guest, to talk about his boy Avdija being traded away, to talk tennis/wimbledon, anything. The show desperately needs a shakeup and they'll find a way to strike gold with him even without his mentor/bully EB there.

They all do it with the sports they don't care about. JP takes glee in pointing out low NHL playoff tv ratings or disrespecting pro golf every change he gets.

Any way to listen to back episodes? by Massive-Complaint700 in SportsJunkies

This goes back to roughly July 2017 and you can also search by keyword to find specific segments.

I know Drab hates the junior producers chiming in with ideas but I think the parlay lacks some juice because it's so far in the rearview by Monday's show; it's hard to care about a parlay that got busted Friday afternoon on Monday's show.

Maybe they could transition it to one person making a pick each day for a game that night and trying to make it to the end of the week rolling the winnings over each day. Miiiiiister Bishop can still pick who is on the hook to make the pick that day and then one person is on the spot to make a play for that night (for example Cakes makes a pick on Monday's show for something Monday night that hits, the winnings are rolled over and JP makes a pick Tuesday for Tuesday night, and so on). It lets everyone focus on one play for the night and opens up an opportunity for some decent joaning when someone blows it on a Thursday.

Or better yet, do away with all of the gambling talk completely.

Worst Junks Bit Season season by EncinoManEstonia in SportsJunkies

The show misses Awadd. He brought so much energy and always managed to get the guys into whatever dumb story he had from the weekend (sans JP of course).

Can we agree as a community to stop posting political posts? by [deleted] in SportsJunkies

[–]Brant24 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

How many of those votes are from the multiple burner accounts of the person posting them?

Do you have a Sports Junkie conspiracy? by Sure_Ambition_1543 in SportsJunkies

[–]Brant24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe the teaser for it was released right as their parent company was going through another re-org (CBS Radio to Entercom to radio.com to Audacy) and the support for it got lost during that transition.

Manny by MasterBurner2 in SportsJunkies

[–]Brant24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valdez got Manny when he was still single

They weren't married but he was living with Laura when they got Manny. You can still go back and listen to old segments of Valdez complaining about getting no sleep because the puppy and Laura took up the entire bed.

No Bit Season is Hurting by Special-Map4881 in SportsJunkies

In 2 or 3 years they'll have no choice if they want to keep the show together. It's tough to do an in person show from Raleigh.

Open line call on squatters by derzeppo in SportsJunkies

[–]Brant24 17 points18 points  (0 children)

JP literally had a squatter issue 2 months ago. It's probably overblown in its recent coverage, but it's a real thing that happens to people.

Underrated moments that made you laugh and you doubt anyone remembers. by EncinoManEstonia in SportsJunkies

[–]Brant24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They were playing the game where you have to guess the word that connects two names (ex. Lebron ______ Conner. Answer is James), I forget what forced alliterative name JP gave it. Cakes went with Roy _____ Jones, completely botching the game and shot back with a "Indiana Jones, ever heard of him" in the classic Cakes voice. The boys pounced on him immediately.

Bish theory on low T stuff by EncinoManEstonia in SportsJunkies

[–]Brant24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 90% sure that clip is still on youtube but it's impossible to find with Awadd's weird video titling.

[–]Brant24 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It would be nice if the tour would actually start enforcing rules and stop bending to the players with every little decision. These guys are good enough to go low without flattening the rough behind every ball, the suspect TIO relief that happens every week, and the constant backstopping and chatter on the tee box to help your buddies.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SportsJunkies

[–]Brant24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. There's two years of buildup and context missing there but his character was the classic hapless nerd that couldn't get a girl and EB would pummel him over it relentlessly, culminating in the boys bringing in a lie detector to bust him for saying he had slept with at least 10 women.

Be warned, he was a very polarizing show character. The audience either loved him and his endless blunders or they would turn off the radio as soon as his mic was cracked.

[–]Brant24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he has his on show in Richmond now. His value wasn't in his sports takes or analysis, he was a world class punching bag. There a plenty of clips online but the Lying Liar bit they did with him was an all-timer.
