BS Report w/ Dave Dameshek Parts 1 & 2


Part One: Lots of NHL talk in the first 50 minutes. Gary Bettman sucks, NHL should contract to 24 teams, 12 in USA, and 12 in Canada.

Then towards the end, BS and Dameshek get going on a really strong topic about the deficiencies of DVR/TIVO. Just why the hell are they so dumb that they can't extend the recording on its own when the game goes into overtime? And why the hell do they record the show from 4:00 to 6:30 for an NBA play-off game, when we all know the games really go from 4:00 to 6:48?

All really great points and reasons why the DVR thing has a lot of bugs.

Part Two: BS and Dameshek rip Kobe and consider whether he is a top 10 player of all time. What is Kobe's legacy if he never wins a title as the best player on his team? Is he just another Scottie Pippen, Kevin McHale?

Is L.A. the most forgiving town in America? First Kobe, then Manny? Should California and Nevada be its own countries?

BS calls Top Gun one of the 5 best comedies of the 80's. They both agree that 80's in general is kinda gay.

BS Report w/ Matthew Berry



An excellent two part podcast w/ Matthew Berry. Tons of highlights in part one. Berry favors the Lakers in the Finals, w/ BS putting his money on the Cavs. Matthew Berry trashes BS after beating him in their NBA fantasy league finals. BS is big on "Proof of Life", calling it the most under-rated movie of this decade.

[Part One]

Part two starts off with a bang. Mathew Berry lists his top 6 guys that he hates in terms of how high they are being drafted in fantasy baseball leagues: A.J. Burnett, Carlos Zambrano, Derek Jeter, David Ortiz, J.D. Drew, and Ryan Howard. BS and Mathew Berry place a $10 bet on Dice-K winning 20 games and another $10 bet on Dice-K pitching 200 innings or more. BS bets in favor of winning 20 games and pitching more than 200 innings. BS calls Paula Abdul's performance on American Idol a total train wreck, crazed, and deranged.
