Episode 99 is here!

And we are fast at work on our 100th show. Our 2 year anniversary is mere days away. We want to thank all our listeners and supporters for making each of the 100 shows a complete blast. We truly love what we do and hope you are laughing and learning right along with us.

We’re off to NYC for our SIRIUS End of Year Awards Show and Extravaganza - The Fannies! We’ll give you the scoop, the skinny and the score as usual. Let’s hope they don’t bar us from the studio after our dancing and singing at the holiday bash. Those SIRIUS kids really know how to party. We’re still in recovery.

Much to dish on this week in sports. We’ll have more posts over the weekend, links and pics too.

So kick back an enjoy - and DO NOT forget to come back next week for the 100th Episode.

R&C

Fact-finding, Hard-hitting and Pro Bowl-bound with The Girls!

Today The Girls are coming to you live from The Fantoo Girls Report, where we drop names, kill careers, and crown hearsay as fact - all in an effort to pass ourselves off as investigators. If we can host a sports talk show, we can surely pass ourselves off as objective investigators. Hire us for your next party! Ah, the Mitchell Report. It has all the substance of a soap opera. Did we just say ’substance’? (I only did it to feel better! I swear!)

The NFL beckons us with the season’s conclusion nearly on our doorstep. It seems like pre-season just finished boring us to tears. We ponder whether or not Mr. Happy up in Foxborough will rest his starters or go for the bragging rights of perfection, send a get-well message to Jeremy Shockey (that had to hurt), and give the Dolphins permission to celebrate as furiously as they like. Heck, call it a year and take off for Tahiti. That’s what we would do. But not before marveling at how Tony Romo gets ‘chick fright’. He cannot concentrate when there is a blond crooner in the house. Don’t worry. Jessica Simpson’s Dad will trot her off to the next victim after her new country album hits. Thas how he rolls.

Rolls reminds us of bowls. Not the collegiate kind, they don’t start for a few more months - or days - whatever. We’re talking about the Pro Bowl…and so wishing it were a banquet, NASCAR style. That would be worth the price of the NFL Network for sure. Congratulations to all those who got the sash.

If Bill Parcels doesn’t take the Falcons job (UPDATE: The Tuna has stayed with his kin - he’s Miami bound baby!) can someone get him to take a serious look at the Knicks? They need him. Old men are picketing to have Isaiah Thomas pink slipped. The next coach could be a ferret on Vicodin and still have a better approval rating than the current leadership.

But nothing’s uglier than a hockey player who breaks one of the game’s most sacred rule. Chris Simon of the Islanders steps on Pittsburgh’s Jarkko Ruutu’s leg with his skate. 30 games of vacation was promptly ordered for one of hockey’s most notorious bad boys. The league is not afraid to give timeouts this year.

And it will be very interesting to see how the Bertuzzi-Crawford saga plays out. Was the hit ordered? Demanded? Unspoken? Can we write the script for this movie? Wonder if Disney would be interested?

Questions, questions…Our IT HAS TO BE SAID is a bit of a retread, but for a very good, and unbelievable, reason. So grab your HGH, a chaser, and some holiday cheer - it’s time to talk sports with The Girls!
