The final show of the semester!

Caleb and Chandler take to the mics one last time for 2008 and preview Championship weekend, give their NFL picks, discuss what's worth watching it college basketball, and throw in some NBA roundup and fantasy football discussion.

It's the Early Bird Special- at a decent hour! (Where we still think "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" shouldn't be played in Georgia)

Don't worry, though, we'll be back next semester, ready to talk all the football and basketball you can handle!

Chandler's gone for the day...but Zack is here!

You want football? How about 45 minutes talking about college and the NFL? And then, just to top it all off, a little fantasy football year-in-review, and some college basketball sprinkled in towards the end. All with guest DJ Zack Dannawi, filling in for Chandler today; but no matter who's in studio, you can count on hilarity and insanity, with plenty of sports mixed in!

Pick 'Em Update!
Caleb: 118-71-1 (8-6 last week)
Chandler: 116-73-1 (8-6 last week)

Craziness instead of a show?

...because the guys had a meeting to attend that chewed up half the show time, and, well, cramming two shows (no show Wednesday, we'll be on vacation!) into a half hour is not a recipe for success.

Enjoy the madhouse.

Just for the record:

Caleb: 110-65-1 (10-5 last week)
Chandler: 108-67-1 (8-7)

The picks for this week:
Green Bay > New Orleans (MNF)
Tennessee > Detroit
Dallas > Seattle
Arizona > Philadelphia
Buffalo > San Francisco
Baltimore > Cincinnati
Indianapolis > Cleveland
Green Bay > Carolina
Miami > St. Louis
Tampa Bay > New Orleans
NY Giants > Washington
NY Jets > Denver
Kansas City (yes, it's KANSAS CITY) > Oakland
Chicago > Minnesota

And, the differences:
Caleb picks San Diego over Atlanta, Chandler has the Falcons
Chandler took New England to defeat Pittsburgh, and Caleb has the Steelers.

Prediction Wednesday- and they're tied!

Looking ahead to a big weekend in college football, plus the guys enter the first week being tied in NFL Pick 'Em since week 4! Another trip to the Fantasy Hot Corner, Chandler throws in some NBA Time, and a bit of college basketball/MLB/GCSU sports make for another show definitely worth your time.

After all, it's the Early Bird Special (at a decent hour! Where we believe the song "Let it Snow" was composed by a northerner who doesn't like the south)

Monday, November 17, 2008

We're nuts! But why else would you listen?!?!

Caleb and Chandler are back, after a long weekend which including a trip to Columbus...and getting lost thanks to MapQuest. Oh yeah,and since football/basketball happened this weekend as well, the guys get to it all.

And Chandler smiles as he's finally tied Caleb in the NFL Pick 'Em!

Chandler: 12-2-1 (what the heck, Philadelphia?!??!) this week, 100-55-1 overall
Caleb: 11-3-1 (stupid Eagles)...also 100-55-1 overall

Wednesday, November 12, 2008

Prediction Wednesday is back!

The NFL Pick 'Em contest heats up again on this Wednesday, November 12th, along with NBA, GCSU, NCAA Football, and whatever else these two nutcases decide to throw in.

Cuz' it's the Early Bird Special, at a decent hour! (where you get more absurdity than doctors recommend)

Songs used for today's show:
"The Winner" by Crystal Method
"Jammin'" by Black Violin
"Don't Stop" by Pettidee

And for fantastic Christmas music (or other great instrumentals!), check out Tom & Co. for some great tunes!

Insanity meets Intelligence- it's a Monday show!

College football thoughts, a look at the new BCS top 10 (with our disagreements, of course), NFL/Pick 'Em talk, another trip to the Fantasy Hot Corner, and some more NBA Time (with an updated sweeper!).

All this and more...on the show at a decent hour! (where we're like Pop-Tarts, cuz' we crazy good!)

NFL Pick 'Em:
Caleb: 88-52 (10-3 last week), 62.9% correct
Chandler: 87-53 (11-2), 62.1% correct

The difference maker: NY Giants over Philadelphia

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

Lots of college football to watch this weekend, and we're here to preview it all!

There will be at least 5 ranked teams this weekend who lose, considering they play five other ranked teams! Caleb and Chandler cover 'em all, plus other games of note, pick all of the NFL action, throw in a bit of Caleb's fantasy hot corner, and then Chandler rounds up all of the NBA and GCSU Athletic action. Right here, on the November 5th edition of the Early Bird Special (at a decent hour! Where even T-Pain would WAC the BCS...probably with Chandler's umpteenth cup of coffee)

Edit: I have been informed that Dannawi did not select Denver in the NFL Pick 'Em this week; in his apparent man-crush on Brady Quinn, he selected Cleveland over the Broncos.

His loss?

NFL Pick 'Em records: Caleb- 78-49 (61.4% correct), Chandler- 76-51 (59.8%)

Guest Pick 'Em competitors: Zack Dannawi, 2 weeks, 14-13 record

Think you can do better than us? Post a comment with your picks for the week, or facebook 'em to Caleb Rule or Chandler Lee! You can also post them up in the radio show facebook group, which is called "Caleb and Chandler on the Early Bird Special- at a decent hour!"

Just to prove we're nuts...

It's another Monday show- so, what went wrong THIS time dealing with the studio computer? Tune in and find out, plus check out the newest sweeper, debuting as Chandler goes into the NBA for you!

Plus, a what-if scenario dealing with the BCS, more words of widsom from T-pain, and more ridiculous fun. What else would you expect?

Monday, October 27, 2008

Wazzuuuuuuuuup?!?! Yep, we've got another insane sweeper debut!

Chandler's idea this time, I swear it- the T-Pain quote of the day. No, it does not have to make sense. But it's just one more reason to listen to the insanity we call The Early Bird Special (at a decent hour! Where I recommended J.T. O' Sullivan as a start and he got benched in the second half!)

NFL Pick 'Em results:

Caleb: Currently 69-44 (Missed Miami, Dallas, NY Giants, Cleveland, and Seattle)
Chandler: Currently 67-46 (Missed all of the above except the Giants, missed Philadelphia)

Last week records: 8-5, both pick Tennessee tonight vs. Indianapolis

Guest DJ Zack Dannawi: 6-7 last week, with Tennessee tonight (Not quite perfect, Zack!)

PSU-OSU, UGA-LSU, and OK St.-TX...plus World Series and NFL Pick 'Em!

Where else could you get all of the best college football games analyzed, the NFL games picked (the contest continued!), and a World Series preview in the same hour? With fantasy football advice from Caleb, and Chandler's NBA and GCSU sports updates, it's the Early Bird Special (at a decent hour!)...

...where dumb quotes, bad jokes, white paper, coffee addictions, and T-Pain all reside!

NFL Pick 'Em:

Caleb: 61-39 (Pittsburgh, Philadelphia)
Chandler: 59-41 (NY Giants, Atlanta)

Guest Pick 'Em of the week: Zack Dannawi

Dannawi's picks: Tampa Bay, Washington, Buffalo, New England, San Diego, NY Jets, Atlanta, Carolina, Baltimore, Houston, Jacksonville, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Tennessee

Wacked-out Wednesday! Pick 'Em, great college football action, and your dose of crazy are all right here!

Rainy weather and a malfunctioning computer can't stop these two guys from Locking it Up and bringing your college football/NFL previews, along with some MLB commentary. And, c'mon now...it wouldn't be the Early Bird Special (at a decent hour!) without a few nutty moments, right?

Monday, October 6, 2008

What happens when the show intro goes missing? Good grief....

Words cannot describe how this show began. Just between you and me, I (Caleb) think this was one of our best shows...a bit zany, lots of football, sprinkle in some baseball, and more crazy, and you have one more Monday show.

Yeah, we're nuts.

Pick 'Em Update!

Caleb wins head-to-head 3-1 (Denver, Pittsburgh, Washington right; Atlanta wrong)

There has been rumor that the Early Bird Special (at a decent hour!) might be the #1 show on WGUR 88.9 FM...further investigation will be conducted into this.

Oh, and will somebody explain to us why Lil' Wayne has a (well-written?!?! No kidding!) sports blog on ESPN?

Monday, September 29, 2008

Buckle up- it's a rollercoaster ride through sports!

It's 2007 all over again! College football's top 10 keep losing, the Mets keep choking, and there's another down-to-the-wire race in baseball. Time to lock it up, with Caleb Rule and Chandler Lee!

Monday, September 22, 2008

Yankee Stadium, College Football, NFL Pick updates, cheesy jokes, and more! It must be Monday!

Chandler and Caleb recap all the important games from college football, touch on the NFL, wonder if the Patriots are looking at a panic button, and talk baseball, including the last game at Yankee Stadium. Did you know Chicago will never win the Super Bowl with Orton at QB? Because his initials are KO. Just sayin'.

It's a Monday show, alright!
