Welcome to another unfiltered, belly-laughing, brain-melting episode of the Simple Minds Sports Show, where the sports takes are scorching and the humor’s got more kick than a bottle of gas station hot sauce.This week, we fire up &#34;10 Questions with a Guy Named Rob&#34;, and oh baby, he ain&#39;t holdin’ back. From the NBA rigging conspiracies to Cooper Flagg&#39;s future and the eternal war between floss and mouthwash—nothing is sacred, and everything is on the table. Even Draymond&#39;s $50K fine and his ongoing war against referees&#39; integrity.Then we dive headfirst into Patriots Rookie Camp and the NFL schedule release with the intensity of Mike Vrabel calling out dudes by name. We’re talking Will Campbell’s “tree trunk” thighs, Efton Chisom’s Cooper Kupp-level production, and whether the Patriots paid too much to outbid for their new WR weapon. Spoiler: they might’ve, but it’s Boston, so who cares?And finally, we pour one out for Jayson Tatum’s Achilles, rip Mazzulla’s coaching philosophy to shreds, and ask whether Brad Stevens has the balls (and brains) to actually reshape the Celtics’ future.

In this hard-hitting and bare-knuckle episode of the Simple Minds Sports Show, the boys are fired up about the crumbling Celtics and the implosion of “Mazzula Ball.” With Boston down 3-2 to the Knicks and Tatum possibly done for a year with a torn Achilles, the crew dives headfirst into the flames of blame, future strategy, and the giant payroll mess coming in 2025.Dr. Big Mac kicks things off with another round of &#34;Headlines with the Obvious One&#34; — where bodily functions and bad basketball collide in glorious fashion. From Brunson fouling out to Derek White’s 34-point explosion, from Greg Greeson comparisons to tax apron chaos, this episode pulls zero punches.If you’re a Celtics fan with heart issues or a soft stomach… maybe skip this one.

In this hard-hitting and bare-knuckle episode of the Simple Minds Sports Show, the boys are fired up about the crumbling Celtics and the implosion of “Mazzula Ball.” With Boston down 3-2 to the Knicks and Tatum possibly done for a year with a torn Achilles, the crew dives headfirst into the flames of blame, future strategy, and the giant payroll mess coming in 2025.

Dr. Big Mac kicks things off with another round of &#34;Headlines with the Obvious One&#34; — where bodily functions and bad basketball collide in glorious fashion. From Brunson fouling out to Derek White’s 34-point explosion, from Greg Greeson comparisons to tax apron chaos, this episode pulls zero punches.

If you’re a Celtics fan with heart issues or a soft stomach… maybe skip this one. If you like screaming into the void and laughing through the pain, then this is the pod for you.

📝 Show Notes:
🏀 Celtics Meltdown
Joe Mazzula’s strategy has imploded: 49 threes in Game 5 ain&#39;t the flex you think it is.
Celtics win Game 5 127–102 without Tatum — SIX players in double digits.
Jaylen Brown: 26 pts / 12 reb / 8 ast
Derek White: 34 pts
Luke Kornet: 10 pts / 9 reb / 7 blks
Celtics dominated rebounds, assists, points in the paint, and TOs… and still looked shaky.
Free throw shooting? Atrocious. 65%.
Knicks cast is weak if you play actual defense — Brunson fouled out mid-4th.
Porzingis needs a new role: Greg Greeson 2.0 or bust.
⚰️ Mazzula Ball: RIP (Hopefully)
Celtics blew another double-digit 3rd quarter lead in Game 3.
Tripled down on threes — and tripled their way right into the L column.
Time for Brad Stevens to step in and shift the franchise’s identity.
🩼 Tatum&#39;s Injury Fallout
Tatum ruptured Achilles — possibly out until April 2026.
Has played more basketball than nearly any peer since 2017.
Tatum: ~699 games / 24,351 mins
Luka: ~506 games / 17,680 mins
Booker, Mitchell, Brown? All less.
Celtics Payroll 2025-2026: $227M+
Way over second tax apron ($207.8M). Current projection = $280M bill.
💰 The Future: Three Paths
Burn It Down — Trade Porzingis, Jrue, Hauser → Save $70M+ → Lottery and rebuild.
Cheap Retool — Stay under first apron, shed extra weight, develop kids.
Aggressive Reload — Trade, retool, and be ready for Tatum’s return.
🔁 Player Role Swaps
Pritchard → Holiday role
Scheierman → Hauser role
JD Davidson → Pritchard role
Horford &amp; Kornet stay for frontcourt depth
Brown and White carry the torch… until the Face of the Franchise returns.

🔥 Segments Breakdown:
Intro &amp; Celtics Fallout – 0:00
Headlines with the Obvious One – 22:00
Tatum Injury Deep Dive – 31:45
Celtics Cap Crisis &amp; Future Options – 41:10
Closing Thoughts (and Insults) – 58:00

🧊 Bruins Boned

Bruins had a 5th-best chance… ended up picking 7th.
Missed 2nd overall by one ping pong ball.
Not all doom and gloom: Top 2 talent-heavy, but next 10 are evenly matched.
Bruins need a center... so of course, they’ll probably end up with a slow-footed defenseman.
Don Sweeney looked like he had a stroke during post-lottery media time.
🏈 Edelman Hall of Fame

Julian Edelman edges out Adam Vinatieri and Logan Mankins for the Hall.
Rich goes nuclear on kicker fans:
 “You crybaby kicker cunts need to shut up.”
Edelman = #1 WR for the GOAT + legendary playoff/Super Bowl moments.
Vinatieri had 3 clutch kicks... then spent the bulk of his career in Indy. Pipe down.

The boys are back and tryin’ to figure out who the hell is runnin’ the Red Sox—because it sure looks like it’s a bunch of unchaperoned toddlers in charge. At 19-19, the Sox are somehow in striking distance of the Yankees, but leadership, discipline, and even basic fielding have gone AWOL.

At 19-19, the Sox are somehow in striking distance of the Yankees, but leadership, discipline, and even basic fielding have gone AWOL. Giolito&#39;s ERA is higher than a kite, the bullpen’s blowin’ games like it’s their job, and Raffy still refuses to play first base. We break it all down, call for a purge, and maybe even demand a little Vrabel-style reckoning.

Then it’s time for &#34;10 Questions From a Guy Named Rob&#34;—and no topic is safe:

Was Reddick really takin&#39; a shot at Luka?
Are the Cavs fake or the Pacers real?
What’s Popovich’s legacy?
Why is ESPN pushin’ the WNBA like it’s 1996?
And yes, someone finally asks: What percentage of massages end in handys?
This episode’s got takes hotter than Giolito’s ERA. Let’s ride.

📝 Show Notes:

Segment 1: Who’s in Charge of the Red Sox?

Record: 19-19, only 2.5 games back of the Yankees.
Team looks leaderless—nobody can even tell Devers to pick up a first baseman’s mitt.
Pitching staff falling apart:
Giolito: 8.38 ERA
Slaten: 6.57 ERA
Houck: 6.10 ERA
15th worst team ERA, 23rd worst batting average against, and 18th most home runs allowed.
The Red Sox lead MLB in blown saves (8) and errors (18).
Despite ranking in the top 10 in most offensive categories, the team lacks professionalism, discipline, and direction.
Segment 2: 10 Questions From a Guy Named Rob

Was J.J. Reddick’s “championship shape” comment a veiled jab at Luka or just him ducking his own coaching heat?
When did the NHL start a draft lottery—and should they even have one?
Are the Cavs frauds, or are the Pacers actually legit?
Ravens cut Justin Tucker… but what % of massages end in handys? (Yes, seriously.)
Is Gregg Popovich actually overrated?
ESPN pushes WNBA over NBA, NHL, and MLB on their homepage—agenda or algorithm?
What’s Jerod Mayo up to right now?
What would you wear to the Met Gala?
Could Shedeur Sanders make the Browns’ opening day roster?
What’s this Utah Hockey Club/Mammoth thing—and when the hell did that happen?

The Celtics are finding new and exciting ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, and the Simple Minds are here to yell about it. Dr. Big Mac, Rich, and Chief Bobby dive into Boston’s historic back-to-back choke jobs against the Knicks, question the sanity of the coaching staff, and try to make sense of Tatum’s disappearing act.

📝 Show Notes:

🟢 Segment 1: Celtics Choke

Game 1: Celtics 105 – Knicks 108
Blew a 20-point lead
Launched 60 threes… missed 45 (🎯 NBA record for futility)
Tatum led the team in settling
Jaylen Brown: “We need to get to the rim”… then didn’t shoot
Porzingis reportedly soiled himself (figuratively… we think)
Coach Mazzulla still thinks it’s working
Game 2: Celtics 90 – Knicks 91
Another 20-point blown lead. Yes, again. Also an NBA record
Shot 25% from deep (30 misses on 40 attempts)
Only 17 assists, 16 turnovers
Won most categories—then shot themselves in the foot… repeatedly
Tatum: 13 points, again no final shot
Team stuck in 2022 mode
Coaching Crisis:
No adjustments, no sub strategy, no play-calling. No pulse.
Is this really the last ride for this group?
Are the Celtics dumb enough to think blowing two 20-point leads means they’re playing well?
🟠 Segment 2: Headlines with the Obvious One

The most obvious news, made obvious-er by the Obvious One.
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll say “yeah no duh.”

The fellas are back and hotter than a $2 pistol! On this episode of the Simple Minds Sports Show, Chief Bobby takes us Up and Down the Totem Pole, giving props to the Cavs&#39; historic beatdown and roasting the Browns’ draft-day dumpster fire. From Abdul Carter&#39;s jersey drama to the Rockies playing like a high school JV team, ain&#39;t nobody safe! Then, it’s Celtics time. The Green send the Magic straight back to Disney World with a beatdown for the ages. Tatum channels his inner Bird, Brown still looks iffy, and Coach Mazzula finally stops chuckin&#39; threes like it&#39;s a YMCA open gym. We break down the stats, the vibes, and the soft whining of Jamahl Mosely. To wrap it up, the boys take a trip around the NBA playoffs: Giannis chokes again, the Knicks are sad, Warriors hang on by a thread, and Belichick… Lord help him, someone get that man a conservatorship. 📋 Show Notes:⬆️⬇️ Up and Down the Totem Pole with Chief Bobby⬆️ Cavs – 4-0 sweep of the Heat, 122-point series margin record.

Would you rather start beef with a biker gang or... well, you&#39;ll just have to listen.

If you like your sports talk like your meatloaf—unfiltered, undercooked, and slightly offensive—this episode is for you. Let’s get dumb.

📝 Show Notes:
🧠 THIS OR THAT WITH CHIEF BOBBY

 Chief Bobby asks the questions no one should have to answer:

Fresh tomatoes 🍅 or fresh bread 🍞
Never wash your hands again 🙌 or never wash your hair again 💇‍♂️
Peek at a dong at the urinal 🍆 or creep on a mystery pooper in the stall 🚽
Pizza cut party-style (squares) 🍕 or good ol&#39; fashioned slices 🔪
Start beef with a biker gang 🏍️ or ram your hog into your boss’s wife 🐷💥
Get picked up for work by a school bus 🚌 or need a chaperone on all evening outings 🕵️‍♂️
Ice cream solo 🍨 or with sprinkles 🌈
Sandwich with the meat as the “bread” 🥪 or condiments lathered on the outside 🤢
💩 SIMPLEST MINDS OF THE WEEK

 The Dumbass Hall of Fame inductees for this week:

Face Off – The fellas debate the dumbest of the dumb.
Jokic Horse Head – See for yourself
Horse Diving Clip – Yes, it&#39;s a real thing. Watch here

Dong Peeks & Horse Dives – This or That; Simplest Minds of the Week

The fellas are back and dumber than ever — but for once, it looks like the Patriots aren’t. Dr. Big Mac, Rich, and Chief Bobby break down what may just be the smartest draft class in New England Patriots history, led by new leadership and one giant barn door of a man, OT Will Campbell. From the smart picks (yes, even the kicker) to a few head-scratchers (a running back in Round 2?!), the crew dives deep into the Pats&#39; 2025 NFL Draft.Then it’s time to hand the mic to our Southern-fried savant for HEADLINES WITH THE OBVIOUS ONE, where we try to decipher the week in Boston sports through the ramblings of a man who thinks logic is a type of barbecue sauce.Whether you&#39;re a diehard Patriots fan or just here for the unhinged ramblings of The Obvious One, this episode&#39;s got enough hot takes and heartburn to make Bill Belichick break a smile.

Gooning, Garbage Trucks, and Giant Paydays

The Celtics take a commanding 2-0 series lead without Jayson Tatum, but injury concerns linger after a gritty Game 2 win. Dr. Big Mac, Rich, and Chief Bobby break down the win, Jaylen Brown’s takeover performance, and the physicality brought on by a hack-happy Magic squad.Then, it’s 10 rapid-fire, bizarre, and somehow thought-provoking questions from a guy named Rob — covering everything from Cade Cunningham to whether boats are just floating sex dungeons (yes, really).Finally, we head to the ice where the Bruins try to explain away another disappointing season. Exit interviews, front office smoke screens, bad drafting flashbacks, and why Bruins fans are paying more and getting less. It’s a fiery finish you won’t want to miss.<h3>Show Segments &amp; Notes:</h3><h4>🏀 Celtics Go Up 2-0 (Without Tatum)</h4><ul><li>Final Score: Celtics 109 – Magic 100</li><li>Jaylen Brown: 36 pts, 10 reb, 5 ast – Absolute monster game</li><li>Porzingis: 20 pts, 10 reb, 5 stitches (yes, real blood – PLAY CLIP: Mazzulla loves blood)</li><li>Derrick White: 17 pts, 6 reb, 5 ast</li><li>Pritchard: 14 pts off the bench</li><li>Magic Highlights:</li><li>Banchero: 32 pts, 9 reb, 7 ast</li><li>Wagner: 25 pts, 4 reb, 4 ast</li><li>Team Stats:</li><li>3PT%: Celtics 32.4% | Magic 24%</li><li>FTs: Celtics 25/33 | Magic 15/24</li><li>Rebounds: Celtics 46 | Magic 34</li><li>Celtics brought physicality.

Show Segments &amp; Notes:
🏀 Celtics Go Up 2-0 (Without Tatum)
Final Score: Celtics 109 – Magic 100

Team Stats:
3PT%: Celtics 32.4% | Magic 24%
FTs: Celtics 25/33 | Magic 15/24
Rebounds: Celtics 46 | Magic 34
Celtics brought physicality. Magic were reckless. Caldwell-Pope’s cheap shot on Horford was dirty.
Jaylen went into 1-on-1 beast mode… but that’s not how you win a title. You need Tatum.
🤕 Tatum Injury Concerns
Bruised wrist (not ideal when it’s your shooting wrist)
Ended 145-game playoff streak
Was this a “play it safe” decision or something more?
Should he rest again if they’re up 2-0?
PLAY CLIP: Mazzulla on Tatum injury
❓10 Questions from a Guy Named Rob
How good is Cade Cunningham, really?
Are great RBs a necessity or a luxury?
What are the 3 best teams to get drafted by in the NFL?
And the 3 worst?
Could the 3 of us beat 1 NBA player in a 1-on-3?
Will Payton Pritchard be on the Celtics next year?
Will Shedeur Sanders succeed in the right situation?
Should wrestling be on ESPN?
Are boats just glorified floating sex dungeons?
Is the NFL Draft traveling to cities cool or meh?
🏒 Bruins Exit Interviews
Bruins finish 33-39, worst in the Atlantic
Front office clown show: Charlie Jacobs, Cam Neely, Don Sweeney
PLAY CLIP: Sweeney on Coaching – scapegoating much?
PLAY CLIP: Jacobs on “standards” – or just playoff revenue?
PLAY CLIP: Ticket Prices – average ticket now $174.56… Thanks Obama
Bruins worth $2.7B – they paid $10M. 2024: $268M revenue, $69M profit.
Draft failures go back to 2015 – still haunting this team
58 draft picks from 2015–2024 → only 11 NHL players
Highlights: McAvoy, Swayman, Carlo… and a lot of whiffs
The smoke shield is up. Panic mode ON. Expect Bruins to be aggressive in free agency &amp; trades this offseason.

Celtics Dominate Without Tatum, Bruins Spin the Exit Wheel & Rob Asks 10 Ridiculous Questions

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2025/4/25/13/698e1a4e-6f85-4148-a0c5-b208fb48afe7_smss_-_4.25.25.mp3

The boys are back with another unfiltered, unhinged, and undeniably Boston take on all things NFL Draft and beyond. Dr. Big Mac, Rich, and Chief Bobby dive headfirst into Patriots Draft Watch, debate whether Campbell at 4 is a reach or a revelation, and unpack trade rumors hotter than your aunt’s buffalo chicken dip.Then it’s time for Headlines with The OBVIOUS ONE — coming to you live from a couch that may be eligible for disability. Celtics, Sox, and Bruins all get the roast they deserve, plus Big Mac drops a Deep Thought that&#39;ll have you wondering if he’s talking about sports or his last failed Tinder date.This one’s got everything: bad takes, worse jokes, and just enough real analysis to make your dad say, “These guys kinda know what they’re talkin’ about.” Let’s get weird.<h3>🏈 NFL Draft Watch</h3><ul><li>Patriots open for trade at #4 — not sold on Campbell?</li><li>PLAY CLIP: “Elliot Wolf is a rat”</li><li>Chargers embarrassed us last year in the Ladd McConkey deal. Don’t let history repeat itself.</li><li>Campbell is solid even if he shifts to guard. Double down on O-line? Let’s build the wall.</li><li>Ideal line: Campbell, pick #38, Bradbury, Onwenu, Moses</li><li>Stay AWAY from Membou. Attitude stinks.</li></ul>OL Prospects to Consider: Josh Simmons (OSU), Josh Conerly (OR), Aireontae Ersery (MN)<h3>💸 Free Agency &amp; Trade Buzz</h3><ul><li>Tyler Lockett to Titans: 1 yr / $4–6M — get another vet WR now!</li><li>Targets: Amari Cooper? Keenan Allen?</li><li>Patriots still need a free safety — Justin Simmons is out there. Call him!</li></ul>Trade Rumors Heating Up:<ul><li>Jeanty interest is real.</li><li>Teams to watch: Jags, Raiders, Bears, Broncos</li><li>Breer says if someone trades up, it’s for Jeanty. Not QB. Not Hunter. Not Carter.</li></ul><h3>📰 HEADLINES WITH THE OBVIOUS ONE</h3>Live from the pre-diabetic couch of wisdom, it&#39;s time for Boston sports the way only we can do it:🏀 Celtics Win Game 2 Jaylen Brown drops 36 while OBVIOUS ONE drops tots down his cleavage. Tatum out with a sore wrist — like most of OBVIOUS ONE’s high school experience. Also: He congratulated himself for inventing math. (Spoiler: he didn’t.)⚾️ Red Sox Lose Again New green uniforms, same stink. OBVIOUS ONE watched the whole game while eating a floor-calzone and yelling about Megan Rapinoe. Bonus: accidentally subscribed to Donna on OnlyFans, who steps on pies. Worth it?🏒 Bruins Out Lindholm and McAvoy are toast. OBVIOUS ONE tried to learn hockey strategy but got distracted by the Zamboni. Thought it was a Transformer. Tried to talk to it.<h3>💭 BIG MAC’S DEEP THOUGHT OF THE WEEK:</h3><blockquote>“Boston sports are like me during sex — slow start, brief hope, and then an unexpected nap. Sometimes there is crying.”</blockquote>🔔 Don’t miss next week: Dr. Big Mac deep-throats a cannoli while explaining the NFL Draft and draws playoff brackets using macaroni art and soft farts.

The boys are back with another unfiltered, unhinged, and undeniably Boston take on all things NFL Draft and beyond. Dr. Big Mac, Rich, and Chief Bobby dive headfirst into Patriots Draft Watch, debate whether Campbell at 4 is a reach or a revelation, and unpack trade rumors hotter than your aunt’s buffalo chicken dip.

Then it’s time for Headlines with The OBVIOUS ONE — coming to you live from a couch that may be eligible for disability. Celtics, Sox, and Bruins all get the roast they deserve, plus Big Mac drops a Deep Thought that&#39;ll have you wondering if he’s talking about sports or his last failed Tinder date.

This one’s got everything: bad takes, worse jokes, and just enough real analysis to make your dad say, “These guys kinda know what they’re talkin’ about.” Let’s get weird.

🏈 NFL Draft Watch
Patriots open for trade at #4 — not sold on Campbell?
PLAY CLIP: “Elliot Wolf is a rat”
Chargers embarrassed us last year in the Ladd McConkey deal. Don’t let history repeat itself.
Campbell is solid even if he shifts to guard. Double down on O-line? Let’s build the wall.
Ideal line: Campbell, pick #38, Bradbury, Onwenu, Moses
Stay AWAY from Membou. Attitude stinks.
OL Prospects to Consider:

 Josh Simmons (OSU), Josh Conerly (OR), Aireontae Ersery (MN)

💸 Free Agency &amp; Trade Buzz
Tyler Lockett to Titans: 1 yr / $4–6M — get another vet WR now!
Targets: Amari Cooper? Keenan Allen?
Patriots still need a free safety — Justin Simmons is out there. Call him!
Trade Rumors Heating Up:

Jeanty interest is real.
Teams to watch: Jags, Raiders, Bears, Broncos
Breer says if someone trades up, it’s for Jeanty. Not QB. Not Hunter. Not Carter.
📰 HEADLINES WITH THE OBVIOUS ONE
Live from the pre-diabetic couch of wisdom, it&#39;s time for Boston sports the way only we can do it:

🏀 Celtics Win Game 2

 Jaylen Brown drops 36 while OBVIOUS ONE drops tots down his cleavage.

 Tatum out with a sore wrist — like most of OBVIOUS ONE’s high school experience.

 Also: He congratulated himself for inventing math. (Spoiler: he didn’t.)

⚾️ Red Sox Lose Again

 New green uniforms, same stink.

 OBVIOUS ONE watched the whole game while eating a floor-calzone and yelling about Megan Rapinoe.

 Bonus: accidentally subscribed to Donna on OnlyFans, who steps on pies. Worth it?

🏒 Bruins Out

 Lindholm and McAvoy are toast.

 OBVIOUS ONE tried to learn hockey strategy but got distracted by the Zamboni. Thought it was a Transformer. Tried to talk to it.

💭 BIG MAC’S DEEP THOUGHT OF THE WEEK:
“Boston sports are like me during sex — slow start, brief hope, and then an unexpected nap. Sometimes there is crying.”
🔔 Don’t miss next week:

 Dr. Big Mac deep-throats a cannoli while explaining the NFL Draft and draws playoff brackets using macaroni art and soft farts. Only on the Simple Minds Sports Show.

Stay thick, Boston.
