Michael Wilbon: Pardon the Interruption but I'm Mike Wilbon, Tony, Season 8 is about to kick off, are you as excited as I am?
Tony Kornheiser: And I'm Tony Kornheiser. Is West Scranton still in this league?
Michael Wilbon: You know they are.
Tony Kornheiser: Then no.
Michael Wilbon: Aww, come on. Its a new season anything can happen.
Tony Kornheiser: They're unbeatable.
Michael Wilbon: No one's unbeatable.
Tony Kornheiser: Welcome to PTI boys and girls. In today's episode: WSI represents OPL in a first ever tournament of champions, Osaka is ruffling some feathers, and LaShonTell is BACK!
Tony Kornheiser: But we begin todays episode with the kick off of Season 8. With West Scrantons feet planted well in OPL soil, do you see, Wilbon, anything other then what we've seen the past couple of seasons?
Michael Wilbon: Tony we might. You never know. We have some familiar faces, we have some new ones. You can't crown a team before the seasons is even underway.
Tony Kornheiser: So you're saying there's a team in this league that can beat them?
Michael Wilbon: I am saying you never know. There may be a team that rises to the challenge. We all remember that Kalamazoo scrimmage last season.
Tony Kornheiser: That was a fluke.
Michael Wilbon: Fluke or not it could happen again.
Tony Kornheiser: And what team in Zeta do you really think could pull that off?
Michael Wilbon: Who says it has to be Zeta? Maybe its Mean Machine, maybe the Prime Timers? How about the Big Bad Mofa's?
Tony Kornheiser: I don't see it happening. Alpha maybe, but no one in Zeta can stand up to these guys.
Michael Wilbon: BDC held their own in the championship game.
Tony Kornheiser: If holding your own is losing by 3 touchdowns, then you agree with my point.
*ding*
Michael Wilbon: I think you're in for a surprise.
Michael Wilbon: Speaking of WSI, they have been cordially invited to GLB's First Annual Tournament of Champions.
Michael Wilbon: Tony we know the Invaders are the heart and soul of this league, and everyone loves them. Do you see them walking away with this title?
Tony Kornheiser: Should I take your stance and say you never know?
Michael Wilbon: Come on....
Tony Kornheiser: I like their odds. They're the cream of the crop.
Michael Wilbon: Me too. They are the team to beat in ALL of GLB and I believe they will make OPL proud.
Tony Kornheiser: Haven't they already made us proud?
Michael Wilbon: Yeah but this will be the icing on the cake.
Tony Kornheiser: Who you got for MVP?
Michael Wilbon: Adam Avalanche who else?
Tony Kornheiser: Guys a monster.
Michael Wilbon: No doubt.
*ding*
Tony Kornheiser: Before the first game has even been played we already have some steam brewing with one of our new comers.
Tony Kornheiser: Ok Wilbon, I didn't read the 20 pages of childish bickering in the thread that started it all but I have seen the after math of blow job threads and carebear references. What, if anything, can you make of this?
Michael Wilbon: I think it adds a little spice. A little excitement to this league. Something we haven't seen in leagues past.
Tony Kornheiser: I kind of like it myself. Every league needs a team like this! All eyes on them! We all want them to fail miserably, but chances are they wont. And it will get under our skin.
Michael Wilbon: Yeah you need a bad guy. Team everyone wants them to lose, but doesn't. They're like your Yankees, your Lakers, you Dallas Cowboys of GLB. Almost like a Corba Kai junior.
Tony Kornheiser: Only they didn't even win AAA last season?
Michael Wilbon: They'll be fine.
*ding*
Tony Kornheiser: I think so too...
Michael Wilbon: Tony, we have a familiar face back in the OPL mix. LaShonTell McJackson is back and has hysterically made everyone in the league well aware of it. Are you glad to see him back?
Tony Kornheiser: If Osaka adds Spice to this league, then LaShonTell is bringing tha funk! I love this guy...
Michael Wilbon: Did you see that kick return he had?
Tony Kornheiser: Yeah it was nice, but lets be realistic my grandma could have ran that kick back behind all that blocking.
Michael Wilbon: It was still pretty nice.
Michael Wilbon: Who do you think got under OPL's skin more this offseason LaShonTell or Osaka.
Tony Kornheiser: I think they're are more LaShonTell likers then there are haters. I love me some ShonTell in small doses. Osaka on the other hand with their blatant disrespect to the league, I think is not on many peoples Christmas card list.
Michael Wilbon: They remind me of grade school kids feeding off their own stupidity.
Tony Kornheiser: But that's cool to do on the internet now a days.
Michael Wilbon: Count me out...
Tony Kornheiser: You're just not hip with it.
*ding*
Tony Kornheiser: Now for the game where I am always the winner. Odds maker with you host Antony Joseph Alan Nichole Julie Reali.
Tony Reali: Thank you Tony. And might I add if anyone was far from hip it would be yooou.
Tony Kornheiser: I am as hip as they come.
Tony Reali: Ok First, the chances BDC repeats as they #1 seed?
Tony Kornheiser: Well I think the consensus is that the Zeta conference is a meat grinder. With the addition of a few AAA allstars, I think the competition is going to be even closer.
Tony Kornheiser: However BDC finished 2nd in Season 6 and 1st in Season 7. While some idiots believe its luck BDC is where they are I think their consistency of winning gives them a really good chance to repeat. I am going to be generous and say 35%
Michael Wilbon: BDC is a good team. They've made it to the Zeta Championship game two seasons strait now. We cant take that away from them. But who's to say BDC doesn't put it in cruise control to keep people guessing for the playoffs?
Tony Kornheiser: And not be the number 1 seed, are you crazy?
Michael Wilbon: Yeah but we heard that's exactly what Jdros did last season which is why their games were soo close during the final stretch of season 7. Then they turned it on in the playoffs.
Tony Kornheiser: So what do you say?
Michael Wilbon: I am going to say 20% I think they're 5 teams worthy of that spot.
Tony Kornheiser: I only see 3.
Tony Reali: And I am seeing red.
Tony Reali: Next, the chances WSI wins the Landry Tournament?
Tony Kornheiser: Now correct me if I am wrong, but haven’t they won this every time?
Michael Wilbon: I believe so Tony. They dominate this tournament.
Tony Kornheiser: And the competition isn't really that stiff.
Michael Wilbon: Well its definitely no TOC.
Tony Kornheiser: Ok, Im going to say 100% they win this tournament. They OWN IT!
Michael Wilbon: Wow that's a bit high there, but I agree its theirs too lose. I will say 50%
Tony Reali: Its the WSI slurppage edition of PTI today.
Tony Reali: Next up, the chances Osaka makes the playoffs this season?
Michael Wilbon: Despite the grade school drama, Osaka has a pretty good looking team.
Tony Kornheiser: Didnt they just pull of some 50 game win streak?
Michael Wilbon: Something like that. But if you look at the competition, I think Osaka can easily earn a playoff spot, very likely even a home field 1st rounder.
Tony Kornheiser: I think so too. They are REALLY good which makes this good guys vs. bad guys thing even greater. You can't be a bad guy unless you can back it up.
Tony Kornheiser: I am going to say 100%
Michael Wilbon: You know its not my thing to agree with you Tony so I am going to say 99.9%
Tony Reali: We're bringing decimals into this, wow.
Tony Reali: Next up, what are the chances Denver LastDinosaur does NOT see a sack trophy this season?
Tony Kornheiser: Ok to not see a sack trophy that would mean Denver would have to not finish in the top 3 in sacks.
Tony Kornheiser: Late in the season I think teams are really clamping down and trying to stop him at all costs.
Michael Wilbon: That or their DE's are just getting there first?
Tony Kornheiser: Yeah Mamula and Shah had 20 a piece last season and they line up on the same side as Denver.
Michael Wilbon: But he's still a force, and I am sure they will find a way to keep him as a threat. I am going to say 10%.
Tony Kornheiser: Denver is good, one of the best defensive players in the league. Season 5 he finished 2nd, Season 6 he finished 1st, Season 7 he finished 2nd. Sacks are a normality for Denver, there is no way he isnt in the top 3. 0%. NEXT!
Tony Reali: And Finally, what are the chances LaShonTell McJackson scores 15 touchdowns this season?
Tony Kornheiser: You know I like LaShonTell, but what is he even playing? KR/PR and 3rd string RB?
Michael Wilbon: I think so Tony, but they'll find a way to get him the ball. Did you see that kick return he had?
Tony Kornheiser: Yeah but with 3 running backs, I am not sure how many opportunities he is going to get?
Michael Wilbon: He'll score some touchdowns, he'll return some kicks. He's an added threat to an already decent team.
Tony Kornheiser: Yeah some is right but not 15. I am going to say 0%
Michael Wilbon: I am not going to go that low but I agree the more offensive weapons you have the less opportunities you're going to get. 15%
Tony Kornheiser: Lets see who's won..... Reali!!
Tony Reali: Well anyone who can go from 100% to 0% is confident enough to win my pick. Tony is your winnner!
Michael Wilbon: WHAT?!?
Tony Kornheiser: This game is 100% over, we have 1 minute left lets get to the Big Finish.
Michael Wilbon: Let's do it.
Tony Kornheiser: Week 1 is the cross division games. Big one is the Prime Timers vs Nites. Wilbon who ya got?
Michael Wilbon: Prime Timers in a nail biter.
Michael Wilbon: Eli Cloud is no more in OPL, who's your pick for Passing champ?
Tony Kornheiser: Rusty Nugget is my stallion this season. Get it?
Michael Wilbon: Ha ha.
Tony Kornheiser: BDC goes for their 100th win tomorrow against the Bandits. They going to get it?
Michael Wilbon: No doubt, congrats to them!
Michael Wilbon: There is a funny banner going around about the Osaka's blow job thread. Funny or overboard?
Tony Kornheiser: Where do I sign up?
Tony Kornheiser: Endorsements come out today, Wilbon you exited?
Michael Wilbon: I'll be happy when they shut up about it.
*HORN*
Tony Kornheiser: Time is up, we'll try and do better the next time. I am Tony Kornheiser.
Michael Wilbon: And I am Michael Wilbon, same time tomorrow knuckleheads. Be sure you message shutd0wn if you want to be on the budweiser hotseat which he has finally found time to start back up.
Tony Kornheiser: Goodnight Canada.
Michael Wilbon: Pardon the Interruption but I'm Mike Wilbon, Tony, Season 8 is about to kick off, are you as excited as I am?
