Today on the show our Baltimore sports talk hits harder than Von Miller hitting a crying Tom Brady as we discuss all the recent stories like Manny Machado’s new tattoo, L.J. Hoes being DFA’d and the Super Bowl. Plus, are the Orioles a sustainable franchise?

Leading Off

The World’s Worst Intern is actually doing work now that he’s “behind the glass” in the new studio. We sort of go off the rails and turn into a crime podcast for a few minutes – sorry about that.

Josh and Bert both celebrated their 36th birthdays this week. Bert gets an awesome birthday card on the air. Josh gets…some confetti in his lap.

The guys go over some new iTunes reviews. Give us a review and maybe we’ll read yours on the air!

O’s Talk

Pitchers and catchers report in 23 days – that’s the good news. The bad news is that the team still only has four “real” starting pitchers.

Are the Orioles running a sustainable model? Can they continue the type of success they’ve seen since 2012, or are they going to drop off again soon? How can they restock the young talent pipeline?

Tattoo Talk

Manny Machdo got a new tattoo of his wife Yainee (photo above). Will this be a distraction when Manny is trying to field grounders? Bert has some thoughts on this.

Face tattoos in general are a bad idea, but shouldn’t he have gotten one of Jonathan Schoop’s mug instead?

Speaking of BFF’s, the O’s DFA’d Adam Jones’ buddy L.J. Hoes today. What gives?

Football Talk

The Broncos and Panthers are headed to the Super Bowl. Thoughts on the championship games? What can the Ravens learn from the teams left standing in late January and February?

Will you miss having a villain to root against in this Super Bowl?

What are the big storylines leading up to SB 50? Anything worth getting excited about?

Ball Bag

What would you do to improve the Pro Bowl?

Matt Stover said that when he was on the Browns, he bought a house right before the team moved to Baltimore. He thinks that when a team moves (like the Rams), they should pay their players’ moving expenses. Thoughts?

SIX former Ravens are in this year’s Super Bowl. Can you name them?

David Lough is a Phillie. Steve Pearce is a Ray. Which player will have a better 2016?

Rob Manfred wants to have regular season games in London. Good or bad idea?
