He takes a firm stance, stating he cannot support the team if Tisch is not forced out, sparking a deep debate on the morality of sports ownership.
The “Bald Vanity” Rant: In a lighter but equally passionate moment, Rooster “punches” male athlete vanity, specifically mocking LeBron James and Jalen Brown for using hair polish and a boxer whose toupee flew off mid-fight.
Homer Hopes: Rooster expresses his “homer” hope for the Giants to hire a disciplinarian coach like Tom Coughlin or John Harbaugh to bring structure to the team’s young talent.

National Catchers Day Celebration: Bison brings an entire roster of legendary catchers—including Josh Gibson, Johnny Bench, and Gary Carter—to “the bar” in honor of National Catchers Day.
The Washington Post Defense: Bison delivers a stinging “punch” to Jeff Bezos for the decline of The Washington Post’s sports section, lamenting the loss of embedded local reporting and the impact on the sports community.
Skepticism of the “Upstart” Patriots: Bison mockingly refers to the New England Patriots as an “upstart franchise” that has never been to a Super Bowl, before acknowledging his genuine annoyance that “they’re f***ing back”.

The Olympic History Buff: Pope shines as the resident expert on the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, sharing details about Lindsey Vonn’s attempt to be the oldest medalist and the unique “luxury resort” setting of Cortina in the Dolomites.
“Sir Barks-a-Lot” & Tennis: Pope explains how his 13-year-old golden retriever, Carmichael (aka Sir Barks-a-Lot), waking him up at 3AM led to him becoming an accidental expert on the Australian Open.
The “Pope Stat”: He provides the unique trivia that Charlie Puth is the first Jewish singer to perform the national anthem at the Super Bowl.

The “Birding” Quarterback: House brings fellow “birder” Sam Darnold to the bar, celebrating the quarterback’s redemption arc as a “Lasso story” while defending his own hobby of ornithology and bird calls.
The Manchester United Haircut Bet: House tracks the viral story of Frank Illett, a fan who hasn’t cut his hair in 485 days, betting that if the team wins two more games, they will have him on the pod for a live head-shaving.
The “Breaking Away” Comparison: House compares the long-suffering Indiana Hoosiers fans’ recent success to the movie Breaking Away, celebrating their journey from “all thin” to a “colossal all-time ride”.

The “Quad God” Aficionado: Milk stuns the other hosts with his knowledge of figure skating, introducing them to Ilya Malinin (the “Quad God”) and explaining the emotional weight of the team’s history following a tragic plane crash.
The “Cycle of Hell”: Milk provides a cynical but realistic breakdown of the “NFL cycle of hell,” where good offensive coordinators are immediately hired away as head coaches, leaving teams like his Buccaneers in a constant state of turnover.
The Outdoor Hockey Hype: Milk celebrates the success of the Stadium Series in Tampa, describing the “phenomenal” scene of outdoor hockey in 38-degree Florida weather.
