Psyched for Football Season

For most in the Boston area the start of the New England Patriots season came last Thursday night when the team faced off in their first pre-season game against the Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints (I like the way that sounds...well I don't know if I like it, but it's better then saying the Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts...isn't it?) but for us here in Southern Connecticut it has yet to sink in that football season is officially upon us. Thanks to WCVB-TV we don't get the first pre-season game on TV down here. (Sidebar: have you SEEN the Channel 5 website? Did they go back to 1999 and steal it from the old millennium? YIKES!!! Love you guys, but update that thing will you?)

Ok, back to why I am excited about football season starting.

It just really hit me while I was at lunch and listened to the weekly call-in from Coach Belichick on-demand on The Big Show (if you missed it listen here.) I love the interviews he does with The Big Show because he is typically more laid back and more easy going, he jokes with the guys and he gets a little more in depth about football then he normally does at a press conference.

I know I may be being optimistic because the season hasn't started yet, but I love the tone that the pre-season has taken this year. I know Logan Mankins is holding out and they haven't gotten a deal done with Tom Brady, but the tone seems to be one of renewal and a new found ease about the team and the way they are doing things, at least that's what I heard in the coach's voice. He seems laid back, relaxed and ready to tackle another season.

Of course, I didn't see the first pre-season game, but the highlights I have seen and what others who did see the game are writing it sounds like it was a success and the fact that the Patriots will have Wes Welker back in red, white and blue puts everyone at ease even more.

What will the outcome of the season be? We'll surely make our predictions as we get closer. For right now, it's nice to have something to be optimistic about, God knows we can't be optimistic about baseball in October.

Episode 147 - Why!?!?!?!?

**If you have not already subscribed to the new feed, you can do so here. As of Feb. 1st, 2010 it will be the only feed that will deliver the show to you**

Unexpectedly, Nancy Kerrigan was back in the news again today and once again it was not for good news...she really can't catch a break. The boys discuss.

Then it's on to Boston sports where none of our teams can catch a break, well maybe with the exception of the Patriots who were pleased to discover that Tom Brady will not need surgery during the off-season...ahhhh at least a breath of air anyway.

With the NBA trade deadline just days away now (Feb. 18th) rumors are swirling around Ray Allen who is in his final year of his contract with the Green Team, we get birthday boy Scotty Dukes in on the show to talk Celts.

Adam even brought up the Bruins for a change and NOT for something good...the B's couldn't even fend off the lowly Hurricanes over the weekend and Adam watched every grueling moment of it on a visit home to MA.

All this and a complete fantasy round-up on the show this week.

Episode 140 - Confessions of a Shopaholic

Timmy opted out of the Patriots home playoff game this year and he also opted out of the 4th quarter of yesterdays game at Gillette because he heard there was a sale at Old Navy...it's true.

Send e-mails HERE.

In the final episode of 2009, Timmy and Adam look back on the Christmas that was including reindeer and train sets....Oh right, there were some sports.

Should Pats fans be psyched or annoyed that the Colts blew their perfect season?

Is there any hope that the Patriots will see the Colts in Indy for the AFC East Championship?

Will Coach K lose his first championship match-up in Wicked Pissa Dude Fantasy sports play?

All this and more on this week's show. Plus, the song this week is a killer version of Foreigner's Cold As Ice featuring Jay-Z in honor of the Winter Classic @ Fenway - yes there was actual mention of hockey.

Enjoy the show and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Episode 135 - Winter Rules

Well, Tiger needs a mulligan. Ok, five or more. The Winter Meetings are not heating up for the Sox. Maybe it's because they are in Indianapolis. New England got it's first big snowstorm and the guys are finally back together on Thursday for the weekend preview. Timmy and Rubba Shoes are here to discuss the remains of the day. When will the Celtics hit a bump and will it include some bruises? Will the Patriots lose a 3rd straight game? Are the Bruins "the haves" and are the Canadiens "the hab nots?" All this and a special musical tribute to the guys favorite golfer...wait, is he still their favorite golfer. Let's find out on the Weekend Preview edition of the Wicked Pissa Dude Podcast. Thanks for listening and have a great weekend.

Episode 130 - What the FAULK!?!?!?

When you turn on this episode of the Wicked Pissa Dude Podcast you may think that it is a gaming show, but that's just Adam and Timmy trying to distract you from the biggest collapse in the Belichick/Brady era.

So, what do the boys think of the latest video game to hit the Nintendo Wii? Check out the show to find out.

Want to hear what happened in the New England Patriots v. Indianapolis Colts tilt from last night? Tough luck, they didn't want to talk about it.

Ok, ok, they spent some time on the game, trust me. The boys also take comments from Wicked Pissa Nation on the game, the call and the implications of what happened last night at the Oil Can.

What do you think of Coach Belichick's decision to go for it on 4th and 2 with just over 2 minutes to go in the game?

Also Adam and Timmy check in on the world of fantasy sports including the WPD match-up of the week - the RIVALRY OF THE DECADE - The Seacoast Shenanigan's v. The Connecticut Clippers. All the other fantasy action is right here for your pleasure too.

Wallow in our sorrows with us!! It's the Weekend Wrap-up Show!!
