Sport Man Toe Ep. 3: Gator Control at the Tom Brady Mansion
It’s Episode 3 of the sports comedy podcast Sport Man Toe, and today Spike and Shane are discussing Tom Brady’s new mansion, the delicate topic of gator control in America, whether or not Germans like American football, Mario Balotelli departing for AC Milan, British soccer fans being British soccer fans (by which we mean vulgar scoundrels who pee on camouflage cars), the Catholic Harbagh brothers and what would happen if the Harbaugh son is gay, our own memories of playing sports and the emotional breakdowns and cowardly moments we endured, the dangers of evaluating females in rubric format, whether a clone basketball team of Spikes and Shanes could outscore Northern Illinois, defeating Usain Bolt in a sprint, and a study showing that southern men get more pissed off than northerners if you shoulder-bump them in a hallway. As with last time, we finish with a J.J. Redick poem that MAY indicate a history of serial murders.

SportManToe Ep. 2: Fascist Heroes, Sympathy for Lance
It’s Episode 2 of SportManToe, the Sports Comedy podcast your parents don’t know about. Today, Spike and Shane are talking about Lance Armstrong’s confession to his 13-year-old son, a fascist soccer player rescuing a Polish girl in a well, Bernard Pollard trolling the entire Patriots franchise, Carlos Tevez’s misunderstanding of the word “constabulary,” Wallace Spearmon’s pancake-making skills, Phil Mickelson’s anti-Obama anti-California anti-tax stance, the political reasons behind Tiger Woods’ Ryder Cup failure, Robin Van Persie suffering a copycat pajama crime, and the best of this week’s Yahoo Sports commenter brigade. YES, we mention Manti Te’o. The episode ends with a stirring rendition of a J.J. Redick poem.

FYI to Walk-Ons Listeners
Hey gang,
Just a quick announcement that I, Shane Ryan, will no longer be doing the Walk-Ons due to the fact that I had too many irons in the fire and need some time back. I realize that this just barely merits an announcement, but I thought it was fair to let you all know in something more than 140 characters.
Doing the show was awesome, and I’m grateful to Matt and Ben for jamming with me, and to all y’all for listening. Whether the show continues or not will be up to them, and I imagine they will let you know soon. Thanks again, and sorry for the abrupt announcement.
I will take this moment to note that I’ll still be doing the once-weekly SportManToe podcast, a sports-comedy joint, which you can find on this site or at this tumblr.
As a lasting legacy for my time on the show, I present one final voicemail from another huge fan:
Your pal,
-Shane

Walk-Ons: Duke Loses, Michigan Loses, Hope is Dead
Today we’re talking about Duke’s loss to those earthy cads at N.C. State, Michigan putting up an offensive stinker at Ohio State, and Indiana unleashing 20 minutes of beautiful basketball to beat Minnesota. All that, plus we talk about the best commercials on tv, tackle some reader emails, and explore the question of how far you would go to get good seats at a sporting event. Would you entertain a stalker? Would you put on an orange vest and pretend to take photos? Then we tucker ourselves out debating when it’s okay to charge the court. Does there have to be a game being played? Can it be a court of law? Matt and I then reveal our man crushes on Izzo, and we talk about whether Coach K can get vindictive after games. Last, we bolster Ben’s self-esteem by pointing out that many listeners don’t even know his name. All in all, there’s a good amount of dysfunction here, but that’s how we roll.

Walk-Ons: Wild Hoops Wednesday, REAL TALK (Emotional)
Today the los tres locos are talking about a crazy Wednesday in college basketball, where Kansas survived another scare, Minnesota beat up on Illinois, and New Mexico won a big MWC clash (Shane had to force them to even mention this). Then the convo turns to Ryan Kelly’s foot scare, and which of the three remaining undefeated teams might lose this week; Michigan at OSU, Duke at N.C. State, or Arizona at Oregon State. Then the talk gets emotional, philosophical, psychological, and soulful. For real. Plus more relationship stories. This episode features listener voicemails and in-depth analysis of Duke’s Jabari Parker signing.

The Walk-Ons: Cakes, Brackets, and Bachelor References
We’re walking a little bit on the wild side this Tuesday afternoon, with talk about arsenic-laced birthday cake, twitter fiascos, everything the media won’t tell you about Miss Alabama, and even a little bit of basketball. Matt won’t stop referencing “The Bachelor,” his favorite show, while Ben thinks UNC is a fraud and Shane got his twitter name on an ESPN broadcast under false pretenses. Are Duke and Michigan elite teams in comparison to the rest of college basketall? Was this past week in basketball exciting or dull? Can UCLA win the Pac-12? Are Kentucky and Florida the two most underrated teams at the moment? What will the three-man brain trust say about the surprising ascent of Kansas State? All this and more, including the exciting race between Matt and Jay Bilas for basketball commissioner.
