Week 11 didn’t just shake the NFL—it rattled the foundation. Farace and Tim are locked in, ready to dig through the wreckage. The Philadelphia Eagles edged the Detroit Lions 16–9 in a game defined by defensive dominance and officiating whispers. The Eagles' offense still can’t quite roll, but their defense keeps finding ways to win ugly and make it work. Meanwhile in Denver, the Kansas City Chiefs fell to the Denver Broncos 22–19 on a walk-off field goal, putting serious questions on Mahomes and company about their late-game identity. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers ran into a wall against the Buffalo Bills in a 44–32 shoot-out where Josh Allen showed MVP flashes and TB’s defense just got out-sped. And then the Dallas Cowboys handled the Las Vegas Raiders 33–16—Monday night, lights on, and Dallas’ new defense actually showed up.We’ll break down all those storylines: who looked legit this week, who’s liars in disguise, and what the Week 11 results teach us about what’s coming in November and beyond. Then we roll into The Unsportsmanlike Forecast—our Week 12 picks. Farace won’t hold back, Tim brings the counter-punches, and with Melo and Anthony on the bench, expect extra heat and no filter.Since we're stacked with chaos, we’ll also look beyond just football: the NBA and NHL are still warming up, storylines forming fast, but nothing settled yet—so we’ll touch on what to watch without pretending we have it all figured out. #NFL #NBA #NHL #MLB #UnsportsmanlikeConduct #PopCulturePros
We continue our journey through the Predator Film Franchise with the 3rd installment, Predators! #Predators #Predator
It’s getting ugly. The Giants dropped their fifth straight, falling 27-20 to the Green Bay Packers — and you could barely tell it was a home game. MetLife Stadium was covered in green and gold, echoing with “Go Pack Go” chants while Big Blue looked more like Big Bruised. With Jaxson Dart still sidelined in concussion protocol, veteran Jameis Winston started and delivered the full Winston experience: 237 yards, 2 touchdowns, 2 interceptions, and a few “what was that?” throws mixed in. The offense moved in bursts, the defense bent until it snapped, and the post-game boos weren’t from visitors — they were from whatever Giants fans stuck around to the end.Off the field, rookie running back Cam Skattebo found himself right back in the headlines. Out for the season with a serious ankle injury, he was spotted ringside at Monday Night Raw with teammates Abdul Carter and Roy Robertson-Harris, and the New York media lost its mind. WFAN’s Brandon Tierney, ESPN’s Mike Greenberg, and New York Post’s Ryan Dunleavy all slammed him for “showboating while hurt.” Skattebo fired back on social media, saying he’s “rehabbing every day” and “not sitting home miserable just to make talk-show hosts happy.” Whether you love it or hate it, at least the kid’s got some fight in him — something the rest of this roster could use.Now the Giants head to Detroit for a Sunday 1 p.m. clash with the 6-4 Lions, and it’s starting to feel like every week’s another trip to the gallows. The Lions can score in bunches with Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Jahmyr Gibbs lighting it up behind a nasty offensive line. Meanwhile, the Giants haven’t won a road game since Week 5 of last season in Seattle — yeah, it’s been that long. If they want to prove they’re still fighting, this is the week to show it. Farace’s patience is shot, Tim’s Good, Bad & Ugly list is mostly “ugly,” and morale’s sinking faster than the team’s playoff odds. #Giants #BigBlue #WeStompedYouOut #WSYO #PopCulturePros
We’re hitting everything from roster upheaval to coaching changes. The McNeil trade chatter is heating up, Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz are back on the market after opting out, and both Jeremy Hefner and Antoan Richardson are gone as the Mets overhaul the entire coaching infrastructure. We’ll break down Carson Benge’s legit shot at becoming the centerfielder of the future, why Lindor needs a real backup shortstop, which minor leaguers enter true put-up-or-shut-up mode, and what the pitching staff has to look like if 2026 isn’t going to be another September disaster.We’ll also celebrate the newly announced Mets Hall of Fame Class of 2026: Lee Mazzilli, Bobby Valentine, and Carlos Beltrán. And yes — we’ll dig into the big question: is Cooperstown next for Beltrán, and how soon? Some of us think he’s in. Some of us (cough Farace) think the voters love to make people wait just to feel important.From free-agent fits to bullpen reconstruction to trying to understand why this team collapses every September, we’re laying out the whole roadmap. Expect Farace’s rants, Rodriguez’s spin, and Joe chiming in from the wall every time someone mentions “this should be easy” — because nothing with this franchise is ever easy.It’s the season wrap-up, the therapy session, and the first steps toward 2026. Buckle up. #Mets #PiitB# PutItInTheBooks #ThePutItInTheBooksShow

Season 30, Episode 27: “Body Count”DONMEGA returns for episode #204 of Am I On The Air? on the PopCulturePros Network — and with a title like “Body Count,” you already know this week isn’t exactly filled with sunshine and musicals. Covering everything from October 29 through November 4, 2025, this longtime podcast veteran digs into the latest movies, TV drops, and whatever Hollywood chaos dared to surface this week.On the movie side, things get dark fast with Bone Lake, a chilly thriller that brings tension, twists, and plenty of “don’t go in there!” energy.

From horror remakes to haunting prequels, the entertainment world proves once again that good help *really* is hard to find. Covering all the biggest movie, TV, and streaming stories from October 22 through October 28, 2025, this episode brings the usual mix of insight, sarcasm, and straight talk that only a veteran like DONMEGA can deliver.On the movie front, Hulu is taking a swing at the classic *The Hand That Rocks The Cradle*. Because apparently, someone thought, “You know what this terrifying story needs? Wi-Fi and influencers.” DONMEGA breaks down how this modern reimagining compares to the 1992 original, what’s been updated for today’s world, and whether it’s truly chilling—or just another unnecessary remake rocking an empty cradle.TV doesn’t get off easy either. *IT: Welcome To Derry* invites fans back to Stephen King’s nightmare town, and let’s be honest—nobody really *wants* to go back, but we’ll do it anyway.

Week 7 was a circus, and Unsportsmanlike Conduct is here for the cleanup crew. Farace and Tim are locked in, Anthony seems good to go, and as always—no one really knows if Melo’s showing up or just sending memes from the group chat.Across the league, everything flipped. The Rams dismantled the Jaguars in London as Matthew Stafford tossed five touchdowns without Puka Nacua, proving L.A. can adapt even without its top weapon. The Bears defense bullied New Orleans with four takeaways, while the Browns turned Miami into their personal punching bag in a 31–6 beatdown. The Chiefs embarrassed the Raiders 31–0, and the Eagles finally bounced back, outlasting the Vikings behind a solid defensive push. Meanwhile, the Panthers actually found a pulse, stunning the Jets 13–6 with defense that looked straight out of the early 2000s. The Patriots, Colts, and Cowboys all handled business, while the Broncos barely survived the Giants, and the 49ers ground out a win over the Falcons despite their injury issues piling higher than the L train delays.We’ll break it all down—who’s trending up, who’s sliding fast, and what Week 7 actually told us about the contenders versus the pretenders. Then it’s back to business with The Unsportsmanlike Forecast—our world-famous Week 8 picks. Expect Farace’s gut calls, Tim’s logic-vs-chaos takes, Melo’s inevitable out-of-nowhere pick if he joins, and Anthony’s stats that somehow never save him from getting roasted.Meanwhile, baseball owns the spotlight this week: the World Series kicks off Friday between the Dodgers and Blue Jays. It’s a clash of pure offense versus power pitching, and you know Farace is still celebrating Philly’s elimination like it’s a national holiday. And if that wasn’t enough, the NBA season tipped off last night and rolls on tonight—new faces, new drama, and, of course, Knicks fans already debating if this is “finally the year.” #NFL #MLB #NBA #PopCulturePros #UnsportsmanlikeConduct
The Giants blew a 19-0 lead and somehow let the game slip 33-32 against the Denver Broncos — giving up 33 points in one quarter and missing two extra points. Epic collapse. Rookie QB Jaxson Dart is still showing flashes—he now has 10 total TDs in his first four starts. The issue? The defense’s prevent package melted down again, and the coaching staff is getting roasted. Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen has overseen two spectacular last-minute collapses now. Oh, and the beef is real—veteran Russell Wilson is publicly calling out former coach Sean Payton, saying his comments were “classless”. No sugarcoating this.Now the Giants must regroup—for real—because Sunday at 1 p.m. they head into enemy territory to face the Philadelphia Eagles. Philly’s beefed up with veteran pass rusher Brandon Graham coming out of retirement to bolster their rush. We’ll be watching:Can the Giants stop the rookie roller-coaster and finish games?Will the defense stay awake for all four quarters?Is it time to pull the trigger on WR help ahead of the trade deadline?Farace is ready to explode, and Tim has the “Good, Bad & Ugly” list pre-written in the margins. This one’s gonna be raw.
Season 30, Episode 24: “No Going Back”DONMEGA is back for episode #201 of Am I On The Air? on the PopCulturePros Network — and once you hit play, there’s truly No Going Back. Covering the hottest headlines from October 8 to October 14, this longtime podcast veteran brings his trademark insight, humor, and passion to another jam-packed week in pop culture.On the movie side, it’s a loaded lineup. First up, Tron: Ares — the long-awaited return to the digital frontier. DONMEGA explores what’s next for the franchise, the direction of this new chapter, and whether it’s shaping up to be a true reboot or just a flashy reroute. Then it’s on to Roofman, a gripping crime thriller inspired by true events, followed by The Woman in Cabin 10, a mystery adaptation that’s making waves with its twists, tension, and top-tier performances.Switching over to TV, the variety is just as rich. The Last Frontier delivers high-stakes drama in the icy wilderness, The Chair Company takes workplace satire to the next level, and 911: Nashville hits the heart with raw emotion. Meanwhile, DMV brings sharp, surprising comedy, Loot returns for its third season with even more hilarious chaos, and the finale of Peacemaker Season 2 has fans divided — DONMEGA breaks down the action, the surprises, and what it all means for the DC Universe moving forward.From the silver screen to streaming favorites, this episode is packed with reviews, reactions, and the kind of thoughtful commentary that only DONMEGA can deliver.So sit back, turn up the volume, and buckle in — because once you start listening, there’s No Going Back.
Week 6 was pure chaos — the kind that makes you question if anyone actually knows football anymore. Farace and Tim are locked in, Melo’s whereabouts remain a mystery (as usual), and Anthony’s “highly tentative” tag means we’ll believe it when we see it.The Bucs, Colts, and Patriots keep on rolling. Baker Mayfield has Tampa humming, Indy keeps stacking wins behind a balanced attack, and Mike Vrabel’s Patriots are quietly climbing back into the AFC conversation, playing tough, disciplined football that’s starting to look like vintage Vrabel ball. On the flip side, it was a week of monster upsets: the Giants, Panthers, and Falcons all took down favored opponents, leaving analysts scrambling and fans wondering what the hell just happened.The 49ers? Bad luck doesn’t even begin to cover it. Fred Warner’s season-ending ankle injury is the latest in a brutal run that’s gutted their core. Across the league, the Chiefs look like they’re back in business — Mahomes finally looks comfortable, the offense clicked, and the defense held firm when it mattered. The Eagles, though, are in free fall. Two straight losses, a 4–2 record, and an offense that looks completely lost — what’s going on in Philly? And as for the Titans, the trainwreck continues. Brian Callahan is out as head coach after a miserable 1–5 start, and Mike McCoy steps in as the interim to try to stop the bleeding.We’ll break it all down — the shocks, the collapses, and the mayhem — plus the return of Tim’s “Fugazi or a Beautiful Thing.” Tim’s bringing the teams, and the rest of us are bringing the smoke. Who’s legit? Who’s all hype? Expect plenty of yelling, arguing, and at least one “you’re outta your mind” before it’s over.Then it’s on to The Unsportsmanlike Forecast — our Week 7 picks, where Farace goes with his gut, Tim rides the vibes, Melo (if he shows) stirs the chaos, and Anthony crunches the numbers that nobody listens to.And of course, the MLB Playoffs are cooking. The Dodgers, Brewers, Blue Jays, and Mariners are the final four, and it’s all gas, no brakes. Farace will be raising a glass to celebrate the Phillies getting bounced — because nothing goes better with playoff baseball than a little Philly misery. #NFL #MLB #UnsportsmanlikeConduct #PopCulturePros
Now that’s how you answer back. After looking like a JV squad in New Orleans, the Giants flipped the script and smacked the Eagles 34-17 under the Thursday night lights. Philly came in as a 7.5-point favorite and left wondering what the hell just happened. Jaxson Dart put on a show — one passing touchdown, one on the ground, and plenty of swagger to make the Eagles’ defense rethink their whole existence. Cam Skattebo? The rookie was a straight-up bulldozer — three touchdowns, 98 yards, and made Philly’s D-line look like they were auditioning for matador school.Defensively, the Giants brought heat all night with seven tackles for loss and three sacks, two of those coming from Brian Burns, who’s quickly becoming a problem for opposing quarterbacks. Special teams kept the energy high too — this unit might just be the most consistent part of the team right now. Crazy to think this was the same squad that looked lifeless a week ago. The rookie rollercoaster is real, but when it clicks, it looks good. Real good.Now the talk turns to the trade deadline. Is Devin Singletary on the move? Do they bring in a wide receiver? The front office has decisions to make, and the team might actually be worth helping if they keep this energy up. Next up, the Giants head to Denver to face the 4-2 Broncos — a team that just struggled with the Jets in London. Can Big Blue stack wins, or are we back to chaos next week? Farace is ready to gloat, Tim’s fired up, and Dave… well, he’s probably adding a few more needles to that voodoo doll just in case. #WeStompedYouOut #WSYO #Giants #PopCulturePros
