·1 hr 50 min·5 clips

Mike Vrabel is one game away from having to cut off his dick because of a wild podcast promise.

This episode of Craft Brewed Sports features hosts Mookie and the main host discussing sports news over beers on a snowy Tuesday night. They cover a range of recent events, from the NFL conference championships to absurd fan bets and a video game controversy. The conversation centers on three main topics: a viral old quote from coach Mike Vrabel, Sam Darnold's historic Super Bowl appearance, and the announcement for MLB The Show 25. Years ago, Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel said on the "Bussin' With the Boys" podcast that he would cut off his own penis to win a Super Bowl as a coach. With his New England Patriots now in the Super Bowl, the hosts debate whether the "football gods" will hold him to this sacrifice. They humorously explore the logistics and potential fallout if Vrabel were to follow through on his statement. Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold will become the first USC alum to start a Super Bowl at quarterback. The hosts note his draft class from 2018 also included Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Baker Mayfield. A significant portion of the debate is dedicated to determining whether Sam Darnold qualifies as the first redheaded quarterback to start a Super Bowl, with references to Brad Johnson and Sonny Jurgensen. The hosts also discuss the video game "MLB The Show 25," which has announced it will not feature a cover athlete this year. They criticize this as a "BS tactic" by the developers. The show concludes with a "Sip-Chug-Drainpour" segment rating the dumbest sports bets people have publicly made and must now honor. One surprising claim is that not following through on a public sports vow can curse a team, citing a fan who promised to eat feces if Florida State achieved a certain outcome. A memorable tangent reveals that Sam Darnold's grandfather was Dick Hammer, a former Olympian and the Marlboro Man. The hosts spend considerable time debating the hierarchy of fandom, listing which team championships they would personally sacrifice for. The tone is highly conversational, informal, and laden with bro-humor and inside jokes between the hosts. The style is a meandering, beer-fueled hangout session that frequently goes off on comedic tangents. Sports fans who enjoy loose, humorous commentary and hot takes on the week's headlines will love this episode. Listeners seeking tightly edited, focused analysis or who are offended by crude humor might want to skip it.
