Finally, we have some football on this football podcast.

We talk to Ken Dilger, who played ten years in the NFL with the Colts and Bucs. Ken tells us what it’s like to get ready for a Super Bowl, and what it was like to play with Peyton Manning. Maybe I should have asked him how to pronounce his last name.

Also: News. Shovel-Ready Game Show. “Who Would Win In A Fight.” And more foolish drivel.

Taped 1/25/2011. Runs 76 minutes. With Josh Zerkle, Ryan Walsh, Shakey, Amber Jones and Aaron Merrill.

The celebrity Super Bowl pick is a time-honored tradition, one we at KSK are incredibly excited to be a part of, as we have in the past. For the next two weeks, stars from the world of entertainment, politics, and more will drop by to make their picks for the big game in Dallas! Up next, it’s an angry man of color trying to check out at your local grocery store. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m sorry, Jay Cutler, that your toughness came into question while we were getting our asses handed to us by the Packers on Sunday. You had a Grade II sprain of your medial colateral ligament, which is the ligament that the banks take away when you don’t pay your medials on time. Are you having money problems, Jay? I’m always here to help you out, buddy. Look, there’s an ATM right over there.

Little did you realize, Jay Cutler, that as you stood on the sideline in the second half that members of your football fraternity would say mean things about you on the internet. I just want you to know that I would never have done such a thing, since it’s against league rules to tweet during games. I don’t understand how they could have said things about you like I might have done 18 months ago. I can say those things because we’re like a family, so it’s different. We’re a football family, with black babies and white babies. And when the babies misbehave or get too old, they’re killed. Babies don’t live forever, Jay.

I want you to know, Jay Cutler, that you are the toughest quarterback I have ever played with. That’s right. Tougher than Rex Grossman. Tougher than that guy with the beard. Tougher than Cade McNown. And yes, tougher than even the great Craig Krenzel. You are tougher than all of them, Jay, though I’m pretty sure Brad Maynard would own you in a barfight.

So I guess…have a good offseason, man. Try not to take any stairs or anything.

Hate restores us. Hate focuses us. Hate keeps us warm at night and spoons us if we so desire it. And no time is hate more powerful – more necessary – than the postseason, when those we despise are so close to getting what they want. I don’t get what I want, so f*ck those guys. There are countless reasons to hate anyone. Some of which you might not be aware. Or been made to realize that they are worthy of scorn. Well, you came to the right place. Allow us to guide you to the darkest recesses of the soul, where the streets run dark green with bile and everyone knows your embarrassing nickname.

Oh, Seattle. You’ve really done nothing to deserve the grief we’re about to lay down on you. You’re just the northernmost major city of the United States, which nobody believes, because Maine is like totally up there on the map. Really, the worst thing you ever did was not killing Frasier.

And then I saw this… Read the rest of this entry »

I bought the PC version of “Madden NFL 08″ week. Most Madden aficionados will recognize that as the last edition of that football franchise to be released on that platform. And with no other notable NFL sims out on the market (sorry, Quick Hit Football), the best that an avid PC gamer can hope for is a game with rosters that were only accurate at the beginning of the 2007 season.

There’s a hidden beauty in this; the details of the NFL are so well-created in the game, popping that DVD-ROM into my desktop was almost like travelling back in time. Chad Ochocinco hadn’t yet tucked away his Johnson, Brett Favre had yet to reveal his, and Michael Turner was still in San Diego. And most creepily, Bengals wideout Chris Henry was still alive.

Christmastime is coming. Unless you’re Jewish, in which case, I really envy you right now. Read the rest of this entry »

We have some football on this football podcast today.

Josh, Phil and Aaron start the show with a quick rant about tanking in fantasy football, as inspired by this Dan Levy piece. Josh interviews Jeff Metzger, author of The Rogue’s Handbook: A Concise Guide to Conduct for the Aspiring Gentleman Rogue. and yes, rape is mentioned. Aaron reads the news, and the show’s new NFL trivia segment, “The Wonderlic,” debuts…poorly.

Aaron reads the news while Phil sends Josh a disguised link to Meatspin (don’t Google that). Josh wonders what happened to Alec Baldwin and Phil delivers the Old Timey Picks, and the last 5 minutes of the show are almost completely inaudible since Josh had the music up too damn loud. Apologies. That’s what happens when you take three weeks off.

Recorded December 8, 2010 with Josh Zerkle, Aaron Merrill and Phil Raintree. Runs 64 minutes.

Prizes for “The Wonderlic” were provided by

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: People that often think of themselves as “great” fans.

To the five of you that read this site and haven’t been given pause with regard to the strife amidst the NFL’s upcoming collective bargaining agreement, you might be pained to realize that there is a better-than-average chance that there will be no football in 2011. That notion, while not horribly consequential in the middle of this season, will make some of you sad. I’m here to tell you that, to some degree, you’ve brought this upon yourselves.

We have some football on this football podcast today.

I had a chance to talk to Jason Sehorn last week; Sehorn was in New York promoting Captain Morgan’s 1 Million Poses. You probably remember Sehorn for his 10 years in the NFL with the Giants and Rams; these days he’s doing color commentary for CBS’s college football coverage. We discussed his feelings on Mike Shanahan’s handling of Donovan McNabb, his conservative political leanings, and what it’s like to wake up next to Angie Harmon every morning. No, really. I asked him that.

We also had a chat with David Matthews of Deadspin. He and I met Jim Bouton (BOW-ton) earlier in the week, and he taught us how to throw a knuckleball. I wish he would have taught me how to pronounce his last name.

Also, Amber reads the news, Old-Timey NFL Picks for Week 10, Shakey, and more.
