I feel like we’ve all done this before.

But it’s true. This is my last post at KSK. Read the rest of this entry »

BTW: If you’re looking to loosen up those fantasy sports muscles, play the Draftstreet baseball game over at With Leather. It’s free to join and you could win part of a $300 prize pool. Oh, you don’t want $300? Never mind then.

Not that anyone’s keeping score, but this is the third straight show where we’ve featured an interview with an NFL starter. This week’s victim is 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis, who stopped in to talk about his work in those K-Swiss ads that came out earlier this month.

Some of this was covered in the With Leather post, but a lot of it is new, including Patrick’s explanation of Phil Collins’ “In The Air Tonight” is his favorite workout song. Am I the only one that automatically associates that with the subway scene in Risky Business?

You can roll straight to the Willis interview at the 40-minute mark. It’s a long-assed show; who could blame you?

We also interviewed Shakey. It’s exactly what you’d expect it to be.

You can listen to the show on the player above, download the MP3 here, follow the show on Twitter and on iTunes or from the host site.

Chad Ochocinco is well-liked by football fans across America, except by me. I can’t stand the guy. He hasn’t done dick since Houshmandzadeh left town and last year he and TO rode a tidal wave of mediocrity into a nine-game losing streak. While Chad seemed to have trouble catching balls, he had no trouble catching headlines, seemingly spending more time working the camera than working on his game. That’s not fun to watch when your team is busy making Ryan Fitzpatrick look like Joe Montana.

Those unfamiliar with Bengals owner Mike Brown might think of his refusal to trade Carson Palmer as the ultimate act of stubborness. That actually came two years ago, when the Bengals were offered two first-round picks for Chad Ochocinco. Brown said no.

Yesterday, Ochocinco was traded to the Patriots. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Chadwick.

It seems almost fitting that we run the complete opposite of last week’s kommenter draft. Instead of picking two people you’d like to see together, this week you’ll be selecting a couple that you could pull apart without repercussions. Because couples are fucking annoying, bros are bothersome, and pairs are better left pared…with a paring knife, that is.

Sometimes couples or duos or business partners split up naturally, like Stevie and Tiger up there, but who has time to wait for that? I HATE THESE PEOPLE NOW. Their joining forces is detrimental to my happiness. WHY CAN’T YOU BE LONELY AND MISERABLE LIKE THE REST OF US?!

Select one pair of humans–living, dead, fictional–that you would care to separate for all eternity. Explain why if you need to. Any person can be re-selected, provided he or she is part of another pair. Wait ten picks, and then pick another duo. These people need to be stopped.

I’m taking Batman and Robin for my first pick. Nobody cares about Robin, except for the clearly-gay Robin from the TV show. Meh, you can’t make an omelette something something. Looks like you’re pounding sand, Boy Wonder.

Now you try.

Vikings punter Chris Kluwe stopped in the d?j? last night; it was the first time we’ve had an NFL starter “live” for a podcast recording. Kluwe has been outspoken on recent NFL policies and the recent CBA negotiations, and we asked him about that and a few other things.

Some highlights of the interview (which starts around the six-minute mark):

• Chris says that 90 percent of the current CBA will be recycled from the previous CBA, and that it wouldn’t take long for the players to vote on it once the player reps approve a proposal.
• He says the only grief that he got from his Brady v. NFL comments were from Colts and Saints fans, and that others reached out to him because he said what they were thinking.
• Nobody in the Vikings locker room will challenge Chris in “Guitar Hero” because he’s so good at it. This is also the same reason that nobody will play him in “Mario Cart” for money.
• His band, Tripping Icarus, plays music that makes me want to build pipe bombs in my basement.
• Chris was born on December 24, but he says tearing an ACL is worse than having a Christmas Eve birthday. I doubt that.

We also spoke with HOUSE OF PUNTE legal analyst Matt DeTura, who discusses the NFL CBA and gives some great-if-a-bit-dated insight into the Roger Clemens mistrial and Casey Anthony verdict.

We’re in the dreaded NFL offseason. There’s still no real football for months. You’re hurt. You’re angry. You’re hateful. We understand. At KSK, hating things is what we do best, which is why we have the recurring This Week In F–k You series, to soothe your white hot anger. This week: You. Read the rest of this entry »

Jon Gruden: Terrelle Pryor! You kiddin’ me? This guy! This guy’s a football player! No way no how! Get out of here! I’m tellin’ ya!

Terrelle Pryor: Thank you for having me. That’ll be $85.

Casey Anthony: So look, you guys. I’m not SAYING that I actually did it, but if I did, I totes would have had a good reason for it. Do you know how expensive it is to get a babysitter these days? Almost as much as a bottle of Jack! How was I supposed to get my groove on with THIS STUPID KID following me around all the time. And they always WANT STUFF! I had to go to bars and flirt with guys to buy me drinks, just to get away from that.

Yeah, so if I actually did that, I really like saved myself money! Isn’t it SO STUPID that other people actually take their kids with them to do stuff? Sorry, I have a life! I need to be my own person! I mean, that would be a totes valid reason for knocking my child unconscious and duct-taping her nose and mouth shut. What, I have to BRING YOU YOUR OWN AIR, you little jerk?

Some of you people are already calling me the white OJ. That’s so sdumb. Why would orange juice ever be white? It comes from oranges. Duh! If you want to make white orange juice, why don’t you get some white oranges. And I don’t even know where those are.

We have a little bit of football on this football podcast today.

Brad Jackson from the free-market podcast “Coffee & Markets” drops in; the UT alum gives his takes on Vince Young and Colt “45″ McCoy. Brad became a Titans fan when Vince Young was drafted by Tennessee, which sounds a little crazy to me but what do I know; I root (read:loathe) the Bengals. And then the free-market fun times continue with Katelynn, who is commissioner of one of the 15 fantasy football leagues I’ll be playing in this fall. Yes, there will be football this fall. Let’s all just chill the eff out.

And there are some jokes about non-consentual coitus that some of you may not appreciate.

You can stream the podcast on that thingy above, download the MP3, and/or subscribe on iTunes and leave a comment. The first five minutes are the toughest.
