This Week in Sportsball: NFL Week Eight Edition (2023) 

Glad you included both culture speeches. The culture here at UrinatingTree is actually damn good

Josh McDaniels copied his tenure in Denver PERFECTLY: -Is okay year 1 but shows massive faults -runs the star QB out of town in favor of "his guy" -start year 2 by pissing off the star WR -completely implode -be fired before Thanksgiving Even the win% is the same: .393, 3 wins in year 2 before being fired in Denver; .360, 3 wins in year 2 in Vegas

Don’t let this week’s Sportsball episode distract you from the fact that the Texas Rangers have more championships than the Dallas Cowboys in the last 26 years.

Let’s just appreciate that UrinatingTree waited this long for SportsBall just to put a sound byte of the Matt Eberflus quote in the intro. Your effort will never go unnoticed Tree!

Josh McDaniels getting fired was the greatest thing to happen to the raiders since bo Jackson

Wow This is a special Sportsball episode… *TWO LOWCOWS OF THE WEEK* We love to see it

How appropriate that this week's Sportsball comes as a certain MLB team's Legacy of Failure ended tonight. Good move, Tree.

I have immense respect for Tree releasing this video almost at midnight on the east coast. Very committed to Wednesday.

Josh McDaniels definitely earned that “lolcow of the week” 😂

Hearing "I'm calling both games!" makes my week better

25:56 even the Bell of death cannot overcome McDaniels incompetence

As a Bears fan, I can't believe you added that Eberflus quote that quick to the intro

I still remember my Raiders' gravestone from last year, "You seriously hired McDaniels". I don't know what you plan on doing for this year's eliminations, but if we miss the playoffs again I fully anticipate it to say "At least you fired McDaniels".

Congrats Rangers on your World Series win

As a Ravens fan, spot on about our inconsistencies and our defense being our saving grace, once again.

A little sad to see the lolcow college streak end, but this is some of the best sports content I’ve seen. You’ve made me invested in professional sports, something that I couldn’t have cared less about for the first 21 years of my life. How did you do that. No idea why I didn’t do this sooner, but have a sub. (Also, as one of about 5 Punch-Out fans out there, I absolutely adore the occasional references that you throw in these videos. It’s a nice reminder that other people remember and care about these games, so thank you for that.)

Was disappointed in the Diamondbacks loss, but they have a young team and will be a threat for a long time. Congrats to the Rangers on the World Series win!

Get that man a raise because he's still callin both games!

Appreciate the work you put into this fam. Thanks for giving us something to look forward to every week.

I love you could hear the cutoff of the bell before Josh McDaniel’s segment.

2 Lolcows of the week in one video and the Giants were one of them. The second that game ended, I knew they earned that moniker.

"They FUMBLED the Brotherly Shove? ..Oh my God in heaven." - Literally all of Philadelphia last Sunday, Tree.

"The culture is actually damn good" "Did you have fire in your gut?" "That's not what he wanted to cook" "Are you kidding me?!" "The culture in our building is outstanding" "I’m open. I’m always fucking open" "I'm calling both games!"

Only an hour after the Rangers won the World Series, congratulations Texas!!!

I'M CALLING BOTH GAMES! Also, just wanna say again how much I appreciate the series, Tree. By far my favorite recap on the site and the one I look forward to the most.

Nancy Kerrigan crying "Why!" 😂😂

You have the best recap. Thank you for the work you put in this channel and our entertainment

Tree had us waiting like hell for this. Congrats to the Texas Rangers btw 💯💯

Shocked the battle for MetLife wasn’t a greatest game. Then again, maybe tree was just saving himself from the pain of having to look at that game for more than he had to

It’s irrelevant to the video, but Tree looks like he’s been hitting that gym. You look good my man! Love your videos always.

The Ravens will always be an enigma with their consistency of playing down to opponents. I expected it this week with them traveling from London to Arizona in the course of 3 weeks, but at least they came out with the win. They have a pretty tough schedule from here out so there’s no room for that kind of game going forward this season, hopefully those two easy win games they botched early won’t come back to bite them.

Love the vids as always Tree football well never ends till I hear “IM CALLING BOTH GAMES”

Some late evening sports ball let’s go always love your content tree !!!

Always a good day when I get to hear “I’m calling both games!”

17:18 How in the living hell was Braindead Daboll named coach of the year last year? The guy has the offensive mindset of cranberry sauce

Sportsball coming out immediately after the World Series ends? Today is great

As a Bears fan, the culture quote from Eberflus may be legendary, but the culture quote from Bruce Allen will never get old. Bring the Bruce Allen culture quote back somewhere in the intro. We never get tired of hearing it.

Tree, I feel like you have cut weight my man. Looking good and love your content as always!

Thanks for shouting out my fantasy team for the past few years, the Gus Bus

“I’m calling both games!” It’s a perfect time to watch Sportsball after the Rangers have won the World Series and ended their Legacy of Failure! 😁 🎉 🥳

Stayed up for this one 🔥🔥🔥

My sports media class showed one of your videos. College level info, keep it up!

World series celebration and UT video? I'M CALLING BOTH GAMES!

These videos get better with each passing week.

And thus, Week 8 of the 2023 NFL Season has official come to an end

Been waiting for this

YESSS ITS FINALLY HERE “IM CALLING BOTH GAMES!!!”

"My hope is not false!" Is exactly what a person on the ride like me would say. But I don't care. Broncos ghanta Swper Bowl!

Mark Davis needs to be held accountable for setting the Raiders back 5-10 years.

2 lolcows of the week, Derp song, Battletoads bgm and top tier editing make this a favorite in Sportsball history. You outdid yourself this week, and I thank you

In defense of the Lions using Gibbs, it looks more like he’s been getting more comfortable each week adjusting to the NFL. Also, did any other team have a better draft class so far this year?

"You got fire in your gut" is becoming as iconic as "I'M CALLING BOTH GAMES" just based on it's shear intensity!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Stayed up for this

the Chex Quest reference @3:23 unlocked a core memory of mine...I didnt get the game but a friend did...i remember plying it but dont remember if we liked it or not lol.

Thought I was gonna have to start the new football week without calling both games!

As a Vikings fan I'm going to miss Kirk Cousins. He was far from perfect but teams can do a hell of a lot worse at QB.

Unusually later for most releases, i wonder if the late firing of josh mcdaniels made him push back to add further commentary. Obviously i have yet to watch the whole thing

Thanks for putting sonic music during the giants jets recap , made me feel a little better .

Proud of my Lions. Now they get time to rest on a bye week and get some guys back healthy.

Let’s go Texas Rangers congrats on shedding that legacy of failure!

Was a bit worried when I came home from work and sportsball wasn't out yet. Then I was reminded that the world series was a thing and everything was all right. Never get tired of hearing 'I'M CALLING BOTH GAMES'.

"I'M CALLING BOTH GAMES".........always makes me happy to hear

The Chex Quest Doom total conversion mention really warmed my heart.

The bell tolling for a split second before the McDaniels firing segment was probably a hasty thing but it works so well.

Tree, i'm not sure if anyone has told you this, but you persistence in using Banjo Kazooie music brings me joy. thank you.

The Mallow song for Cousins, haha

im glad you highlighted the drops in the GB game. Our WRs played terrible and provided zero help for our first year starting QB.

Sneaking in that Nancy Kerrigan "why? why?" clip during Cousins' injury was classic. Still hoping to hear the opening bars of "Green Acres" when Cam Akers scores.

24:29 Tree absolutely rips apart the Raiders and Josh McDaniels

It's good to see my Bengals back to form. The injury report hits hard this week. Broke my ankle in 3 places over the weekend. Unit lost for 3+ months.

20:59 -- I saw the blooper and i'm like...aww mannn I feel for Perna.

Treesus saves... us from boredom for another hot lil minute of laughs 👍 thanks for coming through, mah brother from a yinzer mother

Not one but two lolcows of the week! It's a dream come true!

I respect already having the Culture Clip on deck, this is why you’re the best 😂😂😂

18:14 Seeing no. 28 Joe Mixon on Cincinnati do the Keegan Michael Key galloping in the end zone is the funniest thing.

The little things matter. That Matt E. Soundbite was worth it

The week of football isn’t over until I hear the “I’m calling both games!” Sound bite. Never change

Awesome to hear the Eberflus culture meme in the intro already lol

Didn't expect a Chex Quest reference but i love it

The little kid airplane noise for Jimmy G sailing that ball over Davante was effing fantastic, sir.

I can have the worst week in history but I know it’s gonna be ok when I hear IM CALLING BOTH GAMES !!!!!!🤣

Down in Endor fighting Ewoks? Thanks for making me spit my coffee out this morning. Too funny my man. Also was that Nancy Kerrigan crying during the cousins injury? Wtf?? 😂😂😂

16:47 PEAK football. Dude has a clear path to the QB, instead turns around and goes after the running back, and then the QB throws it there anyways lol.

“ Like Saddam, Pete has plenty of body doubles.” 10:25 Tree, why do you make me laugh so much?!!!!! Lol

You should add the Vince McMahon *"YOU'RE FIRED!!!"* soundbyte fir the Football Gods segment.

It's here. Finally

6:03 the 3rd pick too haha

Rest in Heaven. Coach Robert Montgomery "Bobby" Knight.

in that raycon ad, looks like tree is loosing weight. Good for him! :D

You had me scared for a second there 😅

I know it was a throwaway line, but Chex Quest was the single best thing included in a cereal box. Not only did you get a fairly good family-friendly Doom clone with actual care and attention put into it, you also got 50 free hours of America Online (it was a big deal back then). Chex Quest has since gotten two sequels, and even though people prefer the first one from what I've seen, it was popular enough to spawn a cult following

I love it when the derp music comes on. Derp derp derp, derpity derp!

Excellent but I expected no less. Thanks Tree.

I’m just here for the intro. “IM CALLING BOTH GAMES” but I stay for the sportsball.

24:52 the fart sound got me by surprise 💀😂

The only crazy part is that Josh-ey boy is 3-0 against Denver 😂😂😂

The Mario RPG music was a nice touch.... commentary is decent

As a Broncos fan love the thumbnail tree. Finally the ride never ending is a good thing.
