17. Your Brady > Belichick takes are trash and you're not going to get away with them
Almost Shameless
12/24/20 • 25 min
It took until Week 15 when the Patriots were officially mathematically eliminated from the playoffs for the cowards to get up on their soap boxes and declare that we finally have proof that Bill Belichick can't do anything without Tom Brady. This podcast is dedicated to firing that lazy, bad faith, garbage fire take into the sun to burn for eternity (04:54).

37. Patriots finally have everyone‘s attention, but can they keep it? Plus Aaron Rodgers is a fraud
Almost Shameless
11/05/21 • 26 min
The Patriots secured their biggest win of the season on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers with a classic Bill Belichick defensive performance and some old-school possession offense. Now that people are paying attention to the GOAT and his rookie up in New England, can they deliver on the promise they've shown and make a real playoff run? Tanya addresses that, where they stand in the AFC playoff picture as of now, and what it will take to sustain this momentum (2:40). Then she lays into Aaron Rodgers for being a know-it-all fraud who asserted his dominance all over Green Bay only to now hand his potential replacement the biggest opportunity of his career (18:55).

Patriots defense is legit, the Lamar Jackson skepticism is weird, plus a WWE Extreme Rules chat with Ladarius Brown
Almost Shameless
10/13/22 • 38 min
Tanya quickly recaps why it's encouraging that the Patriots won decisively against the Lions, who were a great matchup for their ailing offense, as they head into a more forgiving stretch of their season (2:00). Then she discusses the weird way that the broadcast handled Lamar Jackson's final drive in the Ravens' Week 5 win over the Bengals, and why it's yet another indication that Lamar doesn't get the respect he's earned (8:13). For the rest of the show, Tanya welcomes on Ladarius Brown to discuss the highlights of WWE's Extreme Rules pay per view and why one wrestler might be this generation's John Cena (13:49).

7. Bill Belichick has nothing to prove to you people, ESPN editor Chris Armendariz joins for a quarantine TV roundup
Almost Shameless
04/01/20 • 52 min
Almost Shameless is back at it now that everyone has settled into life in quarantine, and while there may be no sports happening at the moment, there is never a bad time to have a Bill Belichick, Tom Brady debate. Or is there? Tanya rips apart a rant by ESPN's Mike Greenberg, who believes the GOAT coach has to prove that he's still the GOAT without Brady. Then it's time to investigate what worked and what didn't with ESPN's 64-person bracket of All-Time College Basketball Players. Let's just say that it appears the kids have never heard of Lew Alcindor. And finally, Tanya welcomes fiance Chris Armendariz to the pod. He is a longtime ESPN video editor, but these days, their greatest mutual interest is binge-watching TV shows - and so they review everything they've watched start to finish since the start of quarantine.

6. Instant reaction - Tom Brady leaves the Patriots for the Bucs, more NFL free agency, coronavirus fallout
Almost Shameless
03/17/20 • 25 min
We start out with a breakdown of the world in sports and at large as the United States comes to terms with the coronavirus outbreak, thanks in large part to Adam Silver and his leadership with the NBA (01:50). Tom Brady has officially left New England, it appears that everyone is sad about it and no one could do anything about it - and so Patriots Nation is left with a lot of questions and very few answers (08:52). Meanwhile, news broke that Brady plans to sign with the Buccaneers and Tanya reacts live (13:50). Plus, Bill O'Brien is still the worst GM in all of the NFL, much to the delight of the Arizona Cardinals, and Stefon Diggs just made the Bills potentially the best team in the AFC East (16:54).

4. The NFL scouting "lunch pail mentality" dilemma, Kobe & GiGi's memorial, bad waiters and waitresses
Almost Shameless
02/26/20 • 24 min
This week Tanya got herself in a weird Twitter beef with the "lunch pail mentality" establishment, so she explains her issue with the use of the phrase in relation to NFL players - and specifically, the decidedly-not-blue-collar New England Patriots (3:14). Then she goes over what it was like to watch the public memorial service for Kobe Bryant and Gianna Bryant, and how their deaths have reshaped her interpretation of his legacy and his destiny (11:20). Finally, what is the right thing to do when your waiter is very bad at their job and the service sucks?

3. Mid-Winter ROUND UP -- MLB Cheatfest 2020, Kobe's All-Star Game sendoff, AP's Athletes of the Decade
Almost Shameless
02/19/20 • 39 min
It's mid February which means it's time for a ROUND UP of all the hottest stories so far this winter. We kick things off with Justin Turner and a whole host of baseball superstars getting very mad at their commissioner, so Tanya offers a little advice to the MLB (3:40). Then she breaks down what AP got right and wrong with their Male and Female Athletes of the Decade (12:30), rediscovers the joy of basketball thanks to 2020 NBA All-Star weekend (22:45) and gives the latest on the Tom Brady free agency saga that might never end (27:13). And finally... reality TV can be better, and here's how (31:12).

2. Who could *actually* replace Tom Brady in 2020, and fixing the MLB with a Summer World Series
Almost Shameless
02/12/20 • 35 min
Everyone wants to know where Tom Brady might go but no one has a single good answer or any real insight so Tanya is controlling what she can ... which is figuring out who could *actually* be the quarterback of the New England Patriots in 2020 if the GOAT goes out to pasture. (04:13). Then she attempts her most daring feat to date .... fixing the MLB -- and the purists are not going to like it. You just might, though (19:24). And of course, what would the week after the Oscars be without a little complaining about Joaquin Phoenix and his aggressive, terrifying veganism rants? (29:21) That, and more, in the second episode of the revamped ASP with TRF.

1. Patrick Mahomes isn't the first Patrick Mahomes, how much does Belichick really owe Tom Brady?
Almost Shameless
02/05/20 • 39 min
The all new, rebranded, relaunched Almost Shameless podcast is finally here! Same Fox, just more of her. And new theme music! What better way to kick things off than with a full PUMPING of the breaks on the Chiefs dynasty talk. Mahomes is the real deal, but didn't we just do this a decade ago a QB in the NFC? ... Plus there are murmurings that Tom Brady might want to build a Super Team with all of his discarded offense buddies somewhere, but not so fast. Brady has it better with the Patriots than he seems to think? Finally, Tanya grapples with the life and legacy of Kobe Bryant.

5. Tom Brady has broken the reporters, LeBron vs Giannis for MVP, we need to stop bad Instagram art
Almost Shameless
03/05/20 • 33 min
Tanya opens things up in episode 5 with a loving, nerdy ode to voting before hitting on the big topic of the last 10 years -- WHAT THE F**K IS GOING ON WITH TOM BRADY AND WHY/HOW HAS HE BROKEN ALL THE REPORTERS?! (5:33). Then she breaks down the inherent flaws in choosing regular season NBA MVPs when legacies are created in the playoffs, and why what LeBron does this season will probably end up mattering more than what Giannis does (16:26). Finally, most definitely the weirdest rant to date. If you ever wanted to know how Tanya feels about sticking an earring on an ear of corn and calling it art -- today's your lucky day (25:15).
