This Podcast Is... Uncalled For - How About My BattleHawks?

Episode Date: December 1, 2025

When your conversation turns to football and your football loyalties - and how they were betrayed. From our live Fringe episode with Brian Boye

How about my battlehawks? Your battlehawks are good. I'm a fan. I had to disown my Nebraska Cornhuskers last year. My beloved Nebraska Cornhuskers, I quit being a fan for them because I was tired of having my heart broken. And then once I quit cheering for them, they started winning. Which again... Now you can't cheer for them anymore because you...

I supported them from afar because my wife is a diehard fan, and I wanted her football team to win, so I would watch with her. And then she's like, we might make a bowl game. What happens if we make a bowl game? And I have sworn them off for this year, and I will watch the game alongside as you can watch your football, and I will ask questions about this football team. Now that we have a good quarterback at Nebraska,

I am 100% buying in on everything, and it's weird that I got the new college football game. I am terrible at it. I have realized that it's because I play defense, and if I don't play defense on PlayStation, I win more games. So pro tip for you that are struggling with college football, for the gamers out there, just sim your defense, and you'll do a lot better.

Yeah. I know literally nothing, wait, the Battlehawks, isn't there a Cornhusker on that team? Probably. Who's the quarterback? No, that was like... McCarran. A.J. McKinering.

He's an Alabama guy. But the guy that won that league was former cornhusker Adrian Martinez. Yep. Shout to the Birmingham Stallions and Andrew Martinez, who I believe, yeah, was mostly at Nebraska. But spent a year at K-State because he got tired of people yelling at him because he was garbage. No, he was not.

No, obviously not garbage because they won three titles in a row. He did. He's good. Mm-hmm. But, yeah, I. I fucking love the UFO. It's good. Because you're not a cheese fan.

No. And we don't talk about, we don't talk about St. Louis. We don't talk about the team that formerly. Right. We don't mention them. Hashtag Cronky App. For those of you that don't know, or for the live studio audience, Mike is very passionate about a few things.

Yep. he hates the St. Louis Rams with a passion. Well, it's like, it's like, well, if they were still in St. Louis, I would still be a fan, but. Are they? No. No, they are not.

Because they lie to their way out of town. Uh-huh. Okay. So, fuck Stan Kronki. So if he took the love I have for Dave Grohl, again, his lyrics emblazing on my body, Heather's love of Taylor Swift, multiply that by like a beggilion. That's how much Mike hates the owner of the now Los Angeles Rams.

Can you even say those words together, Los Angeles Rams? Will you utter those words? I'll utter the Los Angeles. I'll cover all over you. Professional liars. That's what I love about Mike because I've known him for so long. Or Cleveland Wanderers Football Club. Right.

I know exactly what buttons to push to absolutely trigger him. It's a delight. It's a delight to know you, Michael. Listen to this and much more on this podcast is Uncalled for. Available now wherever you podcast.
