We’re taking a good, long, one-week break from SIRIUS and reconnecting with our inner podcaster. A girl’s gotta observe Martin Luther King Day- and we will be back in NYC and the fabulous Studio 4 after on the 28th. But not before we observe all the goings-on in the world of sport in the latest episode. And there are some fine talking points delivered to our feet this week (and every week). Some weeks just keep giving.

Episode 103

Today The Girls are coming to you live from Atlanta, which was about as close to the Body Tap Strip Club as were dared to venture, where Adam ‘PacIdiot’ Jones strikes again, literally. Or doers he?

No, not this Body ‘on’ Tap…

This time when he thinks someone stole his money he decides to handle the altercation himself. By hitting a chick. Who is his lawyer. His divorce lawyer. Sweet. Hope you kissed your shoulder pads goodbye, dude - Goodell will not look fondly at your behavior record. Even though the ‘plaintiff’ withdrew her complaint, trouble - fairly or unfairly - simply seeks out Pacman when Pacman seeks out the strippers. Let us just say it again, Pacman - establish a private strip club in YOUR OWN HOME.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Congress and those who should be the only ones named in the Mitchell report hugged and kissed their way through the hearing “investigating” the abuse of steroids in major league baseball. Even though the steroid era was described as a criminal conspiracy, the guys are free to go and romp around their country clubs without a scarlet letter attached to their preppy little sweater. Meanwhile, the players named are scarred for life. And left to deal with the health consequences. That’s fair, huh?

Over in the NFL the playoffs continue, to our delight. But, oh no, did Sports Illustrated have to put Favre on the cover again???

The Seahawks get thumped by Green Bay, Shawn Alexander and Deion Branch go under the knife, and Holmgren ponders his next move. And a move it will be, because it is unlikely that he will return to Seattle. The Colts lick their wounds while San Diego talks smack about the Pats. Thank Lombardi for that, because that whole ‘they’re a formidable opponent and we need to bring our ‘A’ game to take them down’ stuff is so boring. New England won…yawn…and T.O. cried. Could you ask for anything more? NO!!!!

In the paint we have the Celtics plummeting. They’re done. It’s over. Time to start the rebuilding process. Sort of. We’re just trying to be as dramatic as Owens. LeBronsque puts up another 50+ and Joakim Noah, your favorite bow tie wearing baller, gets benched by his own team. Ouch. And it ain’t ov-ah.

And in this week’s IT HAS TO BE SAID we mourn the loss of innocence, or the frontal lobe, we’re not sure which. So grab some wings, long underwear (It’s cold in Green Bay!) and some tissues ‘cuz you never know when T.O. is going to pull your heart strings…it’s time to talk sports with The Girls!
