Episode 50: Star Wars blues; Eric Hosmer; Wade Davis; Big Papi; Resolutions for all MLB teams; John Gruden; Logan Paul
First and foremost, who else didn’t love Star Wars: The Last Jedi?
Happy New Year to all Foul Territory fans the world over! Hosts Jed Rigney and Jon Sumple ring in the new year with a split vote review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Guess who didn’t like it? “It looked beautiful, but …”
Jed is looking forward to the Luke-Yoda spin-off film “Jedi Road Trip.” So he has that going for him, which is nice. This week’s Headlines feature the Royals offer to make it rain all over the mediocre Eric Hosmer, Wade Davis joining Colorado’s closer-ridden bullpen, CC Sabathia re-upping with the Yankees, Miguel Sano’s sexual assault allegations, Vegas losing a boatload thanks the Astros World Series win, David Ortiz’s new reality show “Big Papi Gets a Job,” Puerto Rico Winter League kicking off following Hurricane Maria devastation, and Mark Prior landing a gig as the Dodgers’ bullpen coach.
The Starting Nine focus on players with Coachella band names in honor of this year’s lineup being announced. And, yes, Shin Soo Choo makes the list again! He’s becoming Jed’s Matt Damon.
Jed delivers rapid-fire New Year Resolutions for every team before the show wraps with Extra Innings and discussions about Jon Gruden rumored to be the Raiders next head coach, Mike Tyson breaking ground on a 40-acre marijuana ranch in California, and YouTube celeb Logan Paul’s suicide video, which leads to an interesting convo about armchair social media activists.
