Unsportsmanlike Conduct Episode 125: Super Bowl Picks & Clippers Tricks

Get ready, because Episode 125 of Unsportsmanlike Conduct is about to blow the roof off your expectations—maybe even Joey’s roof. With Farace, Tim, and Anthony at the table (Melo’s off tonight—taking one hit for the Flock, rest up, buddy), we dive headfirst into the two hottest burning questions: what’s the NFL looking like heading toward Wild Card Weekend, and just how messy are the Clippers in L.A.?First, the NFL. The division races are already shaping up to be more chaotic than a meltdown in a sports bar. Analysts are banking on the usual suspects—chiefly the Chiefs holding the AFC West—but whispering that the Broncos and Chargers could crash the party and steal those wildcard pockets. The Bengals, Broncos, and Chargers are being pegged as the top three AFC wild-card picks with the Chiefs maybe just hanging on by a thread. On the NFC side, it’s still anyone’s game (Eagles? Yeah, but let’s not go there), with power surges and sleeper picks lurking. And because your favorite podcast can’t help itself… we’ll tell you who will make it to the Super Bowl, who actually can win it, and which MVP, Coach of the Year, and Rookie of the Year trophies are gonna gather dust on mantels across the league by January.Then, we pivot to one of the juiciest sagas in the NBA: the Clippers. If you missed the memos from the NBA’s weirdest tree-planting scandal, hold onto your laces. Kawhi Leonard is accused of receiving a $28 million “no-show” endorsement from a fake sustainability company—allegedly cooked up by Steve Ballmer himself—to skirt the salary cap—and now the NBA is officially sniffing around. We’ll peel apart what this could mean: fines, draft pick punishments, and how it might send the Clippers into full-on team-of-the-90s Knicks doom. Plus, we’ll dish on how the players, fanbases, and even Mark Cuban are picking sides in the emerging court-of-public-opinion war.Expect hot takes, relentless ribbing, and maybe even a wildly unpopular super-bold prediction—or nine. All that, plus Anthony’s patented "why-this-makes-no-sense-but-we’ll-talk-about-it-anyway" segment. It’s NFL bullets, NBA receipts, and peak petty comedy—all rolled into one gloriously dirty episode. #NBA #NFL #MLB #UnsportsmanlikeConduct
