Unsportsmanlike Conduct Ep 105: NFL Upsets, Bryce Young Benched, and MLB Playoff Push

The Pop Culture Pros Podcast Network

Welcome to Episode 105 of "Unsportsmanlike Conduct," where Farace, Tim, and Anthony tackle the latest in sports with all the grace of a fumbled snap. This week, it's a whirlwind of chaos, predictions, and a few questionable opinions—just the usual, really. First up, a quick look at the final week of the baseball season. Playoff chatter is in full swing, and Farace will likely dive deep into stats while Tim wonders how many innings he can sit through without checking his phone. Anthony, as usual, will pretend like he’s followed baseball all year instead of just Googling "MLB standings" five minutes before the show. Then it's onto NFL Week 2, where underdogs ruled the day and people's wallets took the hit. Farace will claim he saw the upsets coming (he didn’t), Tim will somehow connect it all to his fantasy team, and Anthony might just cry over all the busted parlays. Speaking of the NFL, Bryce Young is OUT as the Panthers’ QB, making history as the quickest #1 overall pick to get benched. Tim will probably try to rationalize this decision with some bizarre analogy involving race cars, while Farace points out the obvious—this is not what the Panthers had in mind. Injuries are piling up across the NFL, wreaking havoc on fantasy teams everywhere. Expect Farace to complain about losing players, Tim to boast about his "in-depth" backup strategy, and Anthony to remind everyone that he’s still winning... for now. Finally, the crew takes a look at the first-timers on the NFL Hall of Fame ballot, including Eli Manning, Terrell Suggs, Luke Kuechly, and Adam Vinatieri. Expect a debate on who deserves the gold jacket—spoiler: Farace will find a way to make this about the Giants, Tim will overthink Vinatieri's career, and Anthony will insist on bringing up fantasy stats that have no relevance to the Hall of Fame. Join us for Episode 105, where predictions are shaky, opinions are strong, and at least one host will claim victory over something no one else cares about. It’s sports talk at its finest—or at least, sports talk at its most entertaining. #UnsportsmanlikeConduct #PopCulturePros
