Dean Ryan — Tue, 13 Jul 2021 08:27:00 -0700

On episode 112, I bitch about the energy companies asking us to not use our air-conditioners when we actually need to use them. Shohei Ohtani is the face of baseball and the only reason people are actually paying attention to All-Star week in Denver. Thats why it's so insane that Stephen A Smith would declare him being the face of baseball as bad for MLB because he speaks through an interpreter. Oh, and Team USA Basketball sucked again. If you enjoy what you hear, be a friend, tell a friend!!

Drinking a beer out of a random person's shoe is definitely how the next pandemic is about to start. The Suga Show showed out longer than expected and was fun to watch. Messi wins his first major international soccer trophy. Sorry England it's not coming home, it's going to Rome. I make sure to highlight how spot on I was with the Euro 2020 final prediction.

We will have to wait a little while longer before we see Fury vs. Wilder 3 because COVID-19 just won't leave us alone. I recap Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the Suns and the Bucks.

ACGMS #104: The Process In Philadelphia Still Involves Losing

Dean Ryan — Mon, 21 Jun 2021 08:44:00 -0700

For Episode #104, I briefly touch on how absurd it is to declare Hogwarts or Gringotts as safe in the wizarding world. I discuss the fallout from the Philadelphia 76ers and Atlanta Hawks series. Even though the Eastern Conference finals wasn't determined until that game was done, we had ourselves Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals between Phoenix and the Clippers. The Nets got bounced despite Kevin Durant's heroics. Shohei Ohtani had the best week of baseball anyone in the history of baseball has ever had.

Dean Ryan — Mon, 07 Jun 2021 08:45:00 -0700

On Episode #99, we talk a little bit about everything. Logan Paul fought Floyd Mayweather last night and did a lot better than most people anticipated. USA and Mexico met in a tense tournament final last night that was filled with drama and gave USA fans hope that this next generation of players will actually have international success. The Clippers are able to survive and beat the Dallas Doncic's while Trae Young continues to make the other team's fan bases extremely frustrated. The only thing that can derail the Nets is injuries. And as a big F1 show, I have to talk about the Azerbaijan Grand Prix and the epic finish that happened there.

Dean Ryan — Fri, 04 Jun 2021 08:13:00 -0700

On Episode #91, I talk about my new found interest in Formula 1 Racing. Phil Mickelson is not your average 50 year old.

Dean Ryan — Thu, 20 May 2021 06:58:00 -0700

I highlight who will be kicking off the season as well as a Week 4 Sunday Night Football Matchup that will surely be one of the most hyped games of the season. And with the news of Tim Tebow signing with Jacksonville, a lot of people have discussed if this is proof that it's been an injustice that Colin Kaepernick is not in the league.

Dean Ryan — Fri, 07 May 2021 08:05:00 -0700

Dean Ryan — Thu, 06 May 2021 08:45:00 -0700

The Capitals and Rangers combined for 141 total penalty minutes in Washington's 4-2 win last night. I discuss the events that happened Monday night that led to a game last night that seemed like it came out of a scene from the movie Slap Shot. Diego Sanchez thinks the UFC might be out to get him, but his most recent comments highlight the sad reality of a career in MMA. And WandaVision was supposed to have a different resolution to the story, but that would have meant someone else would have taken the glory.

Andy Ruiz looked trim in his comeback fight this weekend; Does this victory set him up for a big PPV matchup down the line? And I quickly discuss LeBron being upset about the NBA play-in tournament.

ACGMS #81: YouTube Ads Are the Devil; Aaron Rodgers no es Feliz

Dean Ryan — Fri, 30 Apr 2021 08:53:00 -0700

ACGMS #77: EDP445 the Pedo; UFC 261 Preview

Dean Ryan — Fri, 23 Apr 2021 08:26:00 -0700

EDP445, the Philadelphia Eagles super fan famous for his rant and reaction videos, was exposed as a pedophile by amateur pedophile hunters. I watched the entire video where he got exposed for being a scumbag. It was a sobering reminder of the predators in this world and I wanted to use my platform to further spread the word about this POS.

On a less serious subject, UFC 261 is this Saturday. I preview the 3 Title Fights, give my picks for who I think will win each fight, and also debut the new UFC Segment theme music. It is straight fire bro.

There was a lot going on in the sports world. The PPV numbers are coming in for the Paul-Askren PPV and it looks like it did huge business. Pat McAfee makes Smackdown a better product. There is a reason Aaron Donald did not kill the guy who claimed to be attacked by him. A number one contender in the UFC's 185 pound division seems to have been determined. The Dodgers and Padres series felt like some October baseball in April. Some of the biggest clubs in world soccer (futbol, footy) are looking to shake up the sport, and most people are not too happy about it.

ACGMS #73: Wade Willis and I Discuss the Paul vs. Askren PPV

Dean Ryan — Sun, 18 Apr 2021 10:13:00 -0700
