Drew Magary joins the show to talk about the goings on in the world of the NFL. In other words, sweatpants, guns and exposed weiners.

Yes, we talk to Drew about his book, Men with Balls, and wonder if Plaxico Burress read a chapter or two before heading out that fateful night.

We discuss the impending doom of the Arena League and get into a somewhat serious discussion about the economics of the sport and how it’s even viable to sustain a sport like that in any economic climate, let alone a terrible one.

We continue the economic portion of the program to gawk at the number of zeros in CC Sabathia’s new seven-year deal. With no salary cap in baseball, the Yankees can do whatever they want. So we ask Drew what he thinks will happen in the un-capped NFL season, and if the NFL would be better or worse without a salary cap.

Oh yes, the wangs. We talk about Visanthe Shiancoe and his exposed member, whether it was purposefully exposed and why athletes seem completely comfortable being naked around one another. Drew and Nick agree that if you’ve got it, flaunt it. But there seems to be this understanding that hanging out naked with a bunch of other guys is just par for the course. Especially if it’s old guys who just came off the course.

Then we get into a strange conversation about old men in the gym who like to be naked while they talk about business, or eat lunch, or whatever else they do. I mean come on, make an attempt to put on some pants at some point in the 10 minute conversation. Am I right?

Since I’m going to Monday Night Football this week, we talk about Drew’s knock on Tony this week. Is it fair to knock a guy who was given a high-profile job just because you think he isn’t good? (Short answer: yes). But we debate the fact that if someone knows he isn’t good, how far is too far to go to make fun of that person? Would any of us turn down an offer to play in the NFL? No and if someone offered us that chance, we’d take it. Does that mean we deserve the scrutiny that would come with it. (Mike Mamula agrees.)

We also ask Drew who the easiest person in sports is to consistently make fun of. (Hint: he writes on Mondays and pretends to be a quarterback). Oh, and to make sure our karmic aura is clear from negativity, we plug the charity efforts of the fine young men at KSK.

Drew, as always, is hilarious. You know what I mean?

After Drew departs, Nick and I discuss the season Finale of Dexter. A must watch, and hopefully a must listen.
