The 2024 NFL season is almost upon us, and so we are bringing on one of the biggest football boys we know: Jake Frelick. Jake is a longtime Washington football fan, and we discuss the highs and many, many lows of Washington football fandom over the last 30 years. Listen to us relive trauma as we read through a list of all the starting quarterbacks on the team from the last 30 years, share some of our favorite players from history, and discuss where we are at with our fandom now. Plus, we discuss a little bit about fantasy football, the end of Sky Guy's reign of terror in Chicago, and much more. Come get fun and muddy with Major Tuddy!

We will, we will quack you! The Ducks are back, and so are we! Ducks fly together, and the full gang from our Mighty Ducks episode last year is back to cover the best Mighty Ducks movie. We discuss all things D2, including the knuckle puck, the beautiful costumes, the antics, and Goldberg's farts. Plus, we play a game about the short lived and very confusing animated TV series about anthropomorphic ducks. All of that, plus Reaganomics! Put some respect on Don Tibbles name, and smash that play button!

It's time to say au revoir and bon voyage to the 2024 Lympies. Matt, G2, and Frank gather together to talk about the final week of the Olympics, with a particular focus on the last two games of men's USA Basketball. It's the end of an era, and we're in the endgame now. Let's raise a glass to our big dogs. Plus, our thoughts on Wemby, Jokic, and lots of discussion of which basketball player would be which Marvel character. Excelsior!

There's so many lympies! Chloe, G2, Matt, and Frank gather together to hold vigil for the poor Dick Man. We also discuss DMV athletes, gold rush weekend, and Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Feel the patriotism and smash that play button!

🥇🥇🥇The Hoops Crew is proud to accept the gold medal in Podcasting from the Olympics this year, and we're thrilled to share all of our thoughts on the 2024 Lympies.
