·1 hr 51 min·5 clips

Why are Bengals fans blaming Joe Burrow for their terrible defense when he's a franchise quarterback?

This episode of Craft Brewed Sports features hosts Mike and Scott reacting to a disastrous sports weekend and discussing major NFL headlines. They are joined by Greg, who shares his own brutal weekend of coaching losses and family sports disappointments. Mike details his terrible weekend where the Dodgers, Blue Jays, and Braves all lost, while Scott recounts Notre Dame struggling against Boston College as a 21-point favorite. Scott also coached his son's indoor soccer team to a 13-1 defeat under a league rule that adjusts player numbers based on the score differential. The hosts drink and rate beers on their "Caesar scale," including an 8.3% pear fruit ale from Urban Artifact and a THC-infused orange creamsicle soda. A main topic is Cincinnati Bengals fans beginning to turn on quarterback Joe Burrow after backup Joe Flacco threw for 400 yards in a loss. Some fans argue the team should trade Burrow to free up cap space for defense, a notion Mike calls "stupid" and "short-sighted." The hosts debate whether any team would actually trade for Burrow's massive contract, with Mike listing several franchises that would. Commanders coach Dan Quinn faces criticism for keeping quarterback Jaden Daniels in a blowout game, resulting in a severe arm injury that Mike compares to the RG3 disaster. Tom Brady allegedly cloned his deceased dog using a company that extracts DNA, which the hosts label the "whitest" and "richest" story they've ever heard. They joke about upgrading clone dogs with better stats, like making their farts smell like chocolate cake. The NFL trade deadline proved underwhelming, with Logan Wilson to the Cowboys for a seventh-round pick being the highlight. College Football Playoff rankings are revealed, with Ohio State at number one, closely mirroring the hosts' "Wise Guys Top 10" based on Vegas championship odds. The tone is casual, humorous, and filled with personal anecdotes, friendly roasting, and tangents about 3D puzzles and canned fruit. Sports fans who enjoy beer-fueled, conversational banter about NFL controversies and personal fan misery will love this episode. Listeners seeking tightly structured analysis or who are sensitive to jokes about player injuries might want to skip it.
