Welcome to, welcome to the dirty sports podcast

I said welcome to, welcome to the dirty sports podcast

With Andy and Ruth, the angel brainer, welcome to, welcome to the dirty sports podcast

Welcome to the dirty sports podcast

I am your host Andy Ruther, coming to you live from Cincinnati, Ohio with my co-host from Los Angeles, California

Joey, no joke right now

Oh, fitting Andy, I mean, is there, is there a more fitting podcast for this Super Bowl than former Bengals fan, former LA resident turned Ram's fan now Cincinnati resident coming you live from Cincinnati talking to me in Los Angeles, not a Ram's fan

But, you know, a, a, an Odell Beckham router, I mean, we have so many story lines just between our show, I feel like you told me you're watching the NFL live basically all day exclusively watching the NFL

I was like, I mean, I had to, at gunpoint force you to say that you would talk about the NBA trade deadline, you went full Ben Simmons on me, you're like, I'm just not doing it, I'm not showing up for NBA trade talk

But, I feel like an, you know, the NFL network should be covering our podcast like, why are they having us on? We are these, we are the show of Super Bowl 56

Well, I can confidently say without doing any research, there's no way there's another sports podcast that has one guy in Cincinnati and one guy in Los Angeles of a guy who was Bengals turned Ram's fan back to Cincinnati

There's no way, there's no way, absolutely no way, and yes, I love the NFL, it's even crazier this year because I'm living in the city that is going to the Super Bowl obviously so were you, but it's a little different here, you know, LA's got a lot going on, not not so much here, so I have been, I have been reading so many stories watching NFL network constantly

I'm getting my Super Bowl fill and we'll obviously cover everything today from our picks from the prop bets, the whole nine yards, but the NBA, you know, and I'd like to just say before we jump into it, you don't try to compete with the NFL

You do not make the deadline during Super Bowl week, I would argue that that's the NFL's fault. This is the this is always been the NBA deadline. The NFL has now decided they're going one extra week. So now the NBA's pushing their deadline because the NFL has decided to go an extra week. No, come on. The NFL, they already took Sunday from the church. They took Thursday away from

the Thursday for the ladies. Happy hour. They take, you know, Thursday Thursday, exactly. So the NFL needs to just calm down a little bit. I mean, I know it's Super Bowl week, but honestly, unlike you, I

was Super Bowl media week, especially in the two weeks leading up to Super Bowl, I get antsy for the game to get here because I'm like, I kind of feel like Joe burrow and Matt Stafford must feel right now like enough of the talk. Let's just play some fucking football.

Like I turned on the NFL network the other day and I was just like, you know what, I don't care what you got like at some point, we just got to play this football game.

Sure. So I understand that sentiment as well. I see it. Trust me. My, my pick has gone back and forth. I still don't even know so many times. There's never been a game where I'm just unsure of who I think is going to win.

So unlike you, the NBA trade deadline by Nancy, that was the last few days was a welcome break from NFL Super Bowl talk.

Um, you're, you've gone, I know you're, you're, you're full. I mean, you have bangles helmet the background, the Rams helmet in the background, you're doing some sort of helmet haircut at the moment. Like you are full.

You were full right now. You went to your barber and you were like, make it look like I'm wearing an old style leather helmet from my testicles look like an old style leather helmet right now.
