Thanks to all who have taken the time to nominate us for this year’s Podcast Awards. The Girls are forever grateful. Robin swears she’ll come cook some ribs for all those who voted. She mumbled something about touring the country, honoring the listeners, eating ribs…then she nodded off. But I’m sure she meant it. If you want in, you can nominate until October 18…

If you’re in the Oakland, California area this weekend keep your eyes out for The Girls. We’ll be taking in the sights and sounds of the harbor, hanging in the coach’s box for the Eagles V. Raiders game, and hoping to track down some super cool fans to hang out with on Sunday to watch the Phillies take on the Dodgers. We’ll be going from the stadium to the best baseball bar in Oakland. Somebody, hook us up.

While we traverse the country, you will be entertained by our latest and greatest sports podcast. So get those ears warmed up - or let us do that for you…

Episode 187

Today The Girls are coming to you live from the site that has elevated golf to ‘most dangerous sport’ status. It’s a little marshy here as we keep our eyes out for alligators. ‘Cept those hungry little buggers can hide under water and know just when to move in, ruining your hole, your game and your arm. We’d rather ride a bull naked than play golf amongst those giant, vicious lizards.

So we’re off to the land of the virgins, also known as ‘Gator Country’. This whole Tim Tebow virgin thing has us perplexed. See, we’re pretty sure the guy can’t fend off 10 chicks a week and not buckle. So we figure it has to be a little wordplay a la Bill Clinton. Then the light bulb went off. And we talk about it in this week’s sports podcast. (Do you remember the first time you talked about it?)

From the holy to the insane…Rush Limbaugh wants some headlines, so he decided to throw his name in a hat for the right to buy the St. Louis Rams. There’s just one problem. Unless you are a listener of Limbaugh’s program, you probably can’t stand him. And clearly Roger Goodell doesn’t listen. No room for you at the Inn, Rush, but perhaps you can join the UFL. It’s got to hurt when Marc Anthony has more pull with the NFL than you, right Rushy?

But who cares to discuss the impossible when we witnessed the beautiful on Monday Night Football. Marc Anthony and Ocho Cinco side-by-side, Fergie readying pen to sign the papers that makes her an owner too (Rush just stuck his head in his toilet looking for that which he flushed many moons ago.), and on the field the brilliant play of quarterbacks Chad Henne and Mark Sanchez. Favre may have the name, but these guys have the game. Fear not, Jets fans, as this loss will only serve to light a gargantuan fire under Rex Ryan’s derriere. Oh, to be a fly on the wall of Bill Parcels condo. He’s probably dancing to ‘Jenny from the Block’ till the wee hours, lighting candles whilst in child’s pose in honor of his genius decision to stick with Ricky Williams.

Our Rookie Look takes us to Denver, where Belichick left with his unkempt tail between his legs after losing to his young study. Does anyone think Denver is real yet? Well, we know Knowshon Moreno is real.

As in a real college running back who can make an impact in his first year in the NFL. Dude is fearless. He just needs to get a veteran to give up the secret to hanging on to the ball, and he’ll be helping the Broncos win the AFC West. Ought to be interesting to see him go up against LaDainian Tomlinson this weekend. It’s nail-in-the-coffin time for San Diego.

Over to the frozen diamond we applaud the sweeps, the decision by Bud Selig to not risk the wrath of Philadelphia and postpone game 3 in Denver, and the Zen-freshness and all-around cuddly nature of the Yankees as of late. Something’s different. Hmmm…wonder what it is?

Tune in to hear why A-Rod will NEVER break up with Kate Hudson.

And finally, in this week’s IT HAS TO BE SAID, you can all cheer now. The recession is over. In Russia. How do we know? Let’s just say a whale told us. So grab your leather, your ESPN the Mag BODY issue, and wish Charlie Davies a speedy and complete recovery…it’s time to talk sports with The Girls!
