In the first episode of this series, the guys look at the first five Euros from 1960-1976. The event was in its infancy with just four teams qualifying for the finals. The quick tournament grew over time, but these first five set the table for what would become the second biggest international soccer tournament in the world.

There's nothing like geographical hate among cities. Southampton and Portsmouth view themselves on two ends of the spectrum; however, they both label those spectrums differently. Southhampton sees Portsmouth as a loathsome place with fishermen who enjoy fish... and they might enjoy them a little bit too much. Portsmouth is a tough, fighting Navy town, and they think Southhampton is made up of yuppies enjoying their yachts and big ships. It's led to a long, hateful rivalry between two soccer clubs, but it's hard to find on pitch hatred that mirrors the hatred between the citizens of each city. .

Golf during a Pandemic
I am joined by Paul Burke to talk about golf and how we're filling the void of live sporting events. We challenge the Golf Channel to be better, because they've dropped the ball on various opportunities to show coverage of great tournaments instead of mailing it in and showing the first round of the 2019 Valero Texas Open. Open up the archives and get creative! The PGA is aiming to start back up in June, and I'm not so sure if players will feel safe and willing to travel from state to state to play golf, especially the...

Season 3 Episode 9: Peter and his Sheilas in Gold Coast, Australia
We begin, not surprisingly, in an airplane hanger in California. Madison pulls Peter aside to half-heartedly ask him not to sleep with any of the women during their upcoming fantasy suite dates. Madison still doesn’t tell Peter she’s a virgin, and crosses her fingers that Peter really understands. Was this a fair? Is this comparable to what Luke P. did last season to Hannah. Should Peter have understood the clues around “faith” and “purity”? Peter is somewhat annoyed that Madison is trying to control his other two relationships with women that have declared their feelings for him more clearly...
