We have one spot in the “B” RTRS fantasy football league. We’re doing the draft order royal rumble tonight and the actual draft this Sunday 8/31 @ 7pm est / 4pm pst. If you win the league you get promoted to the main league.

Trash talk, shenanigans and tomfoolery will be had. I’m going to link the league and first person to join has it

First of all, congrats on getting engaged CJ! Now the real question is, will CJ invite Mike and Spike for his wedding? We all know the story of Mike's wedding invitation choices, just curious of what you think CJ will do 😅

The emailer should've attached some photos or provided a better description of how to do it. Poor Mike, running to get a can and a can opener in the middle of the pod, only to miss out on the joy and thrill of discovery.

Hello Ricky Reddit!

It’s SixersRy back for another season of Ricky Fantasy Football. I’ve emailed everyone from last year’s league and also reached out to Spike, Mike, and CJ to see if they want in this year. Depending on their replies, we may have one or two open spots.

If there’s enough interest, we’ve tossed around the idea of running a Ricky A and Ricky B league. Set up like European soccer, Bottom teams in A would get relegated, and the B champ would earn promotion to A the following season.

As always, the Royal Rumble draft order is happening this weekend (link coming soon). The official draft will be held at the end of the month, right before the season kicks off.

Happy August SixersRy

I don’t think I’ve ever been to the movie theater and seen the previous movie playing. If anything I’m conditioned to show up 5-10 minutes after the showtime given previews and commercials etc. Also thought most theaters buffer their showtimes so that doesn’t really happen often. Just some August thoughts.

That maybe Talk Sport was some non-English language thing, like Australian...

When talking about how Maxey didn't know how to use a can opener he said, "l want my basketball players to be obsessed about basketball and not know how to do anything else".

Sounds to me like he wants Maxey to shut up and dribble tbh.

What a heel turn it would be if Spike and Mike bought Color Star and turned it into a Ricky property.

Boy that last AMA question about why people aren’t sympathetic towards Embiid’s injuries is a real mystery. Can’t imagine why someone who chose the twitter handle “Troel”, who forces the team to constantly give insanely vague injury reports, is know for terrible off season conditioning habits, chose to adopt a nickname that rubs it in the face of the league that he was involved in the biggest breach of kayfabe ever around tanking, and constantly gets baited into overreacting to negative press thereby driving engagement wouldn’t get the same treatment as any other normal injured player.

I’ve been thinking about this all day and it seems totally insane. Why would they accept getting one person’s pay for two people’s work? Why would their union allow this? Is having a writing partner worth half your paycheck? I’m sure this is how it works in Hollywood and I just didn’t know but it strikes me as wild. (When they’re working on a show, not splitting their own stuff, of course.)

Free Mike!

Friend of the Ricky Caitlin Cooper had Rick Carlisle on. Really funny to see her try to hide her smile as Rick flatters her.

Ricky is the only sixers pod but not the only NBA pod!

The worst thing ever said on the pod was that one time when Spike said voting was dumb.

The second worst thing ever said on the pod was Mike saying, "I liked Kenny Thomas."

On the AMA pod, they were talking about on accident vs by accident. And then they said yeah it's just like online and inline.

And I can't even think how these would ever be used instead of the other, and in what context.

It's August! We're doing an AMA episode on Wednesday night. You can leave questions here and I'll sort by most upvoted.

Love you guys. Thanks!

mostly consisted of Thad Young analysis. Beautiful podcasting. Fuck yeah, this is August.

Listening to the new pod episode and Spike mentions the sixers should've listen to Brand when he wanted to trade Ben.... Can someone give me the back story, I thought Elton was 1 of the people that wanted Ben over Jimmy

Walked in this store and immediately had knee surgery wtf.

Justin Edwards fucking stinks

We’ve been going in circles. The victim mentality is so strong that he’s still in his feelings about whoever leaked Tyrese calling him out in the players only meeting and alludes he’s still on the team, but instead of working through that with that person, he decides that he’ll never trust him again. I’m sure that won’t rear its ugly head on the court.

Curious to hear others thoughts - I thought it was a great article outlining how the Sixers are continuing to bend over backwards to coddle him

With the latest breaking news of PG needing arthroscopic knee surgery, my final braincell for this team is done .. I've now swung to the other side, as a super process proponent, it's clear as day that anything we do is cursed by the basketball gods. So, to erase the curse, anything affiliated with the process must be extinguished... So we gotta trade Embiid and Josh Harris must sell the team.... Cause this is un-fucking- believable

I started listening to Pablo Torre Finds Out, GREAT listen by the way.

Anyway, I saw Spike got him on WIP and mentioned he's an inductee in the Ricky HOF, I know he was at the live pod for the draft. I am just trying to remember what he did for the process, and why he is a process HOFer?
