It was another fabulous showgram as the Honchos basked in the glory of the coming together of two great holidays on the same day – St. Patrick’s Day and Purim! The Honchos spent a few minutes on St. Patrick’s Day traditions (and some stereotypes) before tackling (see what we did there) “Who Wore It Best?” It is the 54th show, so we paid tribute to another famous 54, Hall of Fame LB Brian Urlacher of the Chicago Bears. The pre-sports hi-jinks ended with some Headlines: the end of Daylight Savings, leaf blower rage, and a job that truly stinks. (We will see ourselves out now.)
The magically delicious lucky charms we call sports took over the show with the Honchos take on the NCAA Tournament brackets. Want a show that picks winners based on wins, losses, and analytics? Keep looking. Want a show that picks winner based on famous alumni of each school in the tourney? Look no further than the McHonchos.
The Honchos next turned their attention to the NFL where the Recap was all about the QBs – Rodgers, Watson, Trubisky, Wentz, and some cat named Brady who ended the shortest retirement ever. There was also a little chatter on the legal tampering period, the Jaguars spending spree, and Rob complained (again) about the Commanderskins.
During the NHL/NBA/MLB segment the Honchos discussed the Leafs perennial playoffs woes, what the Rangers and Caps should do as the NHL trade deadline looms, the Ingleside Lakers update, the Nets being fined 50 large for allowing an unvaccinated Kyrie Irving into the locker room, the end of the MLB lockout, and the fire sale in Oakland.
At the end of the showgram rainbow the Leprechaun Honchos await your arrival with the Dope of the Week. This week’s winner was Desmond Howard, Heisman Trophy winner and co-host of ESPN’s College Football Gameday.
