Play ball! It’s another fine collision of sport as we welcome back the boys of summer, remain glued to the standings in the NHL and NBA, plan our menus (beer, wings, beer) for the final weekend of the NCAA tournament, and count down the days till the NFL draft. The only thing that could make this time of the year more special would be a drop in gas prices. Like that’ll happen.

Robin heads to Vegas to be closer to the action this weekend and Carol holds down the fort a few rows behind the Flyers’ goalie (for two periods anyway) as they try to secure a spot in the playoffs. We trust that beyond listening to this week’s fine, fine podcast, you will be following the happenings on the ice, the court and the diamond. We’re there with you all the way.

So, kick back and let The Girls do the rest!

Episode 113

Big Show, Final Four and Leinart, What Were You Thinking?! with The Girls!

Today The Girls bring you this Fantoo Girls sports podcast LIVE from the final - for real - opening day at Yankee Stadium. After this baseball season, and perhaps one hockey game for kicks and giggles, the place will be stripped bare. Okay, folks, let’s be real…the pilfering has already begun. Urinals don’t just walk out on their own, do they? It’s sad that one of the greatest buildings in all of sports can’t be preserved. The Parthenon is still standing! C’mon US of A, get on the preservation band wagon.

After wiping away our tears we hit the world of sport to wax poetically about the brave battle that brought MAN (Floyd Mayweather) and BEAST (Big Show) into the ring to battle for the crown. We mean the cash. Whatever. Just so you know, boxing is now dead to us.

Credit to WWE for the fabulous footage.

But guess whose life line is still attached to Bill Parcels? Our main man, Ricky “Hell yes I inhaled!” Williams. We hear he’s plying Bill with roses and chocolates (mini Snickers, for sure) to win his love. We say get the greatest defense you can assemble in the next two weeks and show him your stuff on YouTube. We’re sure Bill’s a big web surfer in his spare time. While we’re talking football…Um, Brandon Marshall? You need bubble wrap. Just sayin’. And another thing…Matt Leinart, leave the frat house behind, buddy. Upgrade to some premium beverages and premium girls. You can do it. At the very least, confiscate all footage so we don’t have to see how dumb you are.

Speaking of bubble wrap, that would be more acceptable than what we see the male figure skaters wearing. We’re all for flamboyant, but your spangles and fur are stealing YOUR spotlight! One of these nights, when you are reclining on your satin sheets, one of those shrill costumes is going to come out of the closet and beat you silly simply for wearing it in public. Seriously, we’ve seen this happen before. Get back to the intensity of the performance and leave the fairy sparkle dust to the girls - not us, we hate that crap - to the female skaters.

So, Max Mosley likes to play the guard and the prisoner? Is that allowed? And how come for so cheap? You would think that stuff would cost WAY extra. Those feisty Brits. So unassuming, yet so NUTS! Our opinion? He should step down from his presidency at Formula One Racing. Sure, whatever you do behind closed doors that is consensual is your business, but when you film it and snap photos AND they get leaked then you should have to go to the Island for the Famously STUPID.

Hideki Matsui likes REALLY thin and very quiet women. Doesn’t she look cuddly?

The NBA has officially overtaken the NCAA tournament. It’s crazy each and every night. The Nuggets beat the Suns and the entire playoff picture shifts. It’s like one and done from here on in. Insanity, and we love that.

Finally, all the #1 seeds make it to the Final Four. This will be a coaching battle. Roy Williams faces the team whose heart he shattered (Guys, get a grip. He’s a free bird and he flew home. And by now you should know that whatever “they” say, reverse it.) in a game that means more to both sides than simply the way to the Championship. And poor ole Memphis takes on UCLA and Kevin Love. (Insert Beach Boys joke here.) We’re thinking a beach party with BBQ is the right way to watch that game.

In case you were wondering, Peter Forsberg is “out of gas”. Well, what a coincidence! In this week’s IT HAS TO BE SAID, many are out of gas because of a new crime wave. Hide your drill and lock the garage people!

So, grab your sketch pad, your old college sweats and some hot wings…it’s time to talk sports with The Girls!
