As The Girls dig out from yet another obscene snow storm, Vancouver wonders when its snow will arrive, the NBA wonders if it will rain to much in Dallas this weekend, and the Cleveland Cavaliers wonder how quickly we’ll forget their lame attempt to make more cash. Answer key: not soon enough, too much and never.

Our apologies for the delay - we won’t keep you another minute. Here’s your ear candy:

Episode 204

Bourbon Street Parties, Danica Patrick Hangs and Canada Wants Gold with The Girls!

(Patrick Semansky / Associated Press)

Today The Girls are coming to you live from…Bourbon Street, where they are still partying and will be till every King Cake is eaten, every bead worn and every Saint saluted. As thousands gathered to honor the ballsy victory of Sean Payton and the Saints, eleven loyal Colts fans lined up behind barricade to welcome home those who took no chances and came home with no trophy. We have to agree with Sean Payton; with hindsight it’s clear that the MVP of the league is Drew Brees. The most valuable player is someone that does more than execute, he elevates those around him and Drew Brees did just that. A very young and brazen team left Miami and dove into the arms of a city that couldn’t have done it with out them. And vice-versa. The Girls thank the New Orleans Saints for making this a special Super Bowl.

And now we head into unchartered territory as Lane Kiffin prepares to offer a USC football scholarship to a zygote. The problem is the zygote wants to see the hostesses first, and he’s totally not putting pen to paper without a house in Malibu for the summer. Or was that his Mom talking. Who cares. Lane Kiffin is gross. And he makes the USC football program gross, too. As parents, he could offer our children a scholarship, a 4.0 and an Oscar and we would still be nailing up the barricades at our front door.

It’s safe to say that in her first race out Danica Patrick and JR Motorsports impressed the headlights out of the boys at ARCA and are now planning on doing much the same in the upcoming Nationwide race at Daytona. NASCAR needs a shot in the arm and is willing to dial back the clock a bit, bringing in the bump and grind and the chicks! Clean racing may be on the wane and victory will go to the one who is willing to risk the most. Sound familiar?

The Olympics always raises the bar on risk-taking, except when it comes to figure skating. When an athlete knows that the big stage comes around only once every four years they don’t throw caution to the wind, they don’t even pack caution. (Maybe Lindsay Jacobellis packed just a tad to be used only when the gold is in the bag.) Our Fan-Tutor takes you downhill as we attempt (emphasis on attempt) to distinguish the differences between the many skiing events we are about to witness. If it snows, that is.

Also in this week’s sports podcast we get psyched for Olympic hockey for many reasons. It may be the last time we see NHL players participate, Canada would give away oil to get gold, and there’s a chance we’ll see Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin meet up on NHL regulation ice for the biggest prize next to Lord Stanley. Bragging rights are at stake here, and in the sport of hockey bragging rights mean more than cash. Refreshing, huh?

The NBA does not disappoint this week as it heads into a so-not-appropriate Valentine’s Day Weekend All-Star game. The kind of lovin’ that happens at the All-Star weekend is pretty much very anti-Valentine. It’s also not nice to take away water fountains no matter how you couch it. The Cleveland Cavaliers have since agreed. And the negative turn that the CBA talks took this past week? Chalk it up to David Stern getting his yayas. Did the player’s association really think he would just extend that ridiculous contract? Child please.

So grab your fleur-de-lis, a shovel and anything but Aquafina…it’s time to talk sports with The Girls!
