Episode 14: Brotherly Love - The Curtis Drees episode
I'm sure everyone has been anxiously waiting this podcast based on the overwhelming response to Eric Drees being on the show Wednesday... The elder Curtis Drees joins me to mainly discuss the pop culture Tough Guy Tournament, but also puts in a vote for Idiot of the Week and talks about Cincinnati Bengals.

Are spring sports soon to be a thing of the past?
I'm still a little hungover from the overwhelming response to Eric Drees' debut on the podcast yesterday... Here's a little something for all of his fans out there (for some reason it won't embed on this page, but trust me, it's ABSOLUTELY worth watching, especially the very end)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNZXCks-9sY
So I know that most of my readers/listeners are from Ohio and its neighboring states. As far as I know, all of our great states have three high school sports seasons - - Fall, Winter, and Spring. I am going to speak of what I know from now on, which is Ohio High School sports.
The great debate that is arising is how we can make spring sports more fair to the athletes playing them. Think of this: football season is 10 games in 10 weeks. Basketball season is 20 games in 12 weeks. Baseball and softball make kids play roughly 25 games in 6 weeks. That hardly seems fair, or right, or whatever. No wonder why the amount of injuries is growing...
Anyways... the great solution, according to some, is to move the "spring" seasons back. In Iowa, for instance, the baseball and softball State Championships are played on the 4th of July, well after graduation day. Heck, the season doesn't even start until May, which in the case of Shelby County League schools, is just 3 weeks from the last day of school!
All this leads me to a question that I genuinely would LOVE to see answers to. I personally have an opinion on this matter, but I'll hold off until another blog. My goal is to compile multiple opinions from you, the readers/listeners, and then see what the general opinion is.
Answer these questions:
Would you play for your respected school for over a month after you graduated high school?
What ideas do YOU have to solve the situation?
Is it even a situation worth solving?

Episode 12: Eric Drees
I have no better title than to give it to the man of the hour... or 20 minutes I suppose. Eric Drees tries his luck at some Kyler's Korner trivia in hopes of earning the right to talk about the San Francisco 49ers and his beloved Cincinnati Reds.
