The beauty of Jimmy making fun of sports talk is that he actually has a bit of baseball knowledge so he sprinkles in some valid points in between the hilarious ranting.
Wanna know what's funny? the other night when I went back to watch the Toby Maquire Spiderman movies, I did not recognize Jim until I heard his voice and I was like "hold up was that Jim Norton?" so I had to rewind and watch that part where he says "he stinks and I don't like him!" part again. lol
@@tedsretardretardium6174 He was a rockstar at math and science actually. But he knew he could start doing radio at 18 and work for the mob on the side so he didn't become a scientist.
Don’t feel bad, I think I was 8 years old and my pops was obsessed with the Dallas cowboys to a point that he took all my bad ass ghostbusters sheets and pillows and custom made ghostbusters headboard and replaced it with Dallas cowboys bed sheet sets and Dallas cowboy posters. I literally spent nearly 2000 bucks to get all my ghostbusters/Batman 89 toys back. Till this day I fucking loathe sports.
nail on the fucken head with this topic here. the worst is when a fucken player gets interviewed "yea y'know uh we just gotta keep it up, take advantage of our chances, keep the motivation up, uh, umm it's a good group working hard gotta keep it up uh gotta pull through.." they gotta be laughing at him in the locker room
Just because he hates other sports talk shows doesn’t mean he can’t have his own. It’s like Jocktober, O&A make fun of other hacky radio shows as part of their radio show
Jesus Christ listen to Opie at 20:09 try to say a sentence and trip up like 6-7 times. He speaks for a living doesn’t he? He stutters mumbles and can’t even finish a single thought. Who was a worse speaker Opie or Fez? At least Fez could complete a single sentence
"We need to do well this season" And next season And next season And next season That's the point of a sport, you hope your team wins. Sports talk can be summed up as "I hope the team I attached my identity to wins"
Jimmy and the rest of the tough crowd guys are the only reason i listen to O&A i mean anthony is funny and he does make me laugh but Jimmy and the TC crew are why i even know his name. Jimmy should be making the lions share of the money there. With Opie making the least.
I’m not sure about other cities but every job I’ve worked in Philly my coworkers listen to eagles talk in the spring. Absolutely zero new information about the team and they still listen.
I love sports talk and I'd listen to In The Dugout with Jimmy EVERY DAY!!! HE'D have relevant commentary on the airwaves. One of the best XM era bits. Ever.
As a Philly sports fan, I was absolutely crying and coughing with laughter when Jimmy was making fun of WIP in the beginning; That is literally every other caller, to the point where even the hosts make fun of that.
You have to look up Mike Francessa falling asleep on the air in the middle of his show. Can't say it's not boring when the host himself is zzzzzzing off.
Money talks. It’s just like Joey Diaz had a whole shtick about not liking weed gear like weed centric clothing, now he’s in partnership with a Dispensary out in California that sells a strain called Laughing Gas with a cartoon version of his face with devils horns on the bud packaging and there’s ball caps, stocking caps, and hoodies with the same logo on it for sale as well
For me, the worst part about this shit is “die hard” sports women who you can clearly tell that they only give a shit about a certain team because their boyfriend/husband/father were diehard fans. So they have some “kitschy” pink version of the team jersey. And when they talk it’s obvious that they’re just regurgitating anything they’ve heard their male family members say.
The beauty of Jimmy making fun of sports talk is that he actually has a bit of baseball knowledge so he sprinkles in some valid points in between the hilarious ranting.
He’s done this bit before and he actually admits he used to be like one of these regular listener guys that would call in from time to time
@@zachhoward9099 I do remember that, he said he would listen to it while working warehouse jobs.
Thanks for explaining Opie.
Also sprinkling in a couple lines about taking retards calls is awful; goes straight over Dopies head obviously.
He loved baseball but jeter stomped on his parade
"Really? Because I thought cancer helped the team."
Jimmy Norton is a legend.
Jimmy's outrage at cornball sports talk is commendable.
NAILED IT. I can't stand sports talk.
"He stinks, and I don't like 'em." Greatest movie quote ever.
@Paulo Hernanndizz I don't acknowledge any Spiderman movie that came afterward.

16:36 welcome aboard
"GOD DAMN RICH CUNT!" has to be second.
I listened to a ton of O&A clips during an 18 month period at my old job. I think this is the funniest clip of them all.
“I need a sandwich and a kiss” with Sports talk Jimmy.
Opie calls subtraction "opposite math",I can't anymore
He's great at math and science.
Thats because he's opposite smart
@@tedsretardretardium6174 He was a rockstar at math and science actually. But he knew he could start doing radio at 18 and work for the mob on the side so he didn't become a scientist.
@@jrrd4069 he also could have been a model
@@acommenter704 And an NBA point guard...
I'm with Jimmy 100%
You know whats a fun game? Count how many times Opie brings the show to a screeching hault
Gregg was UNBEARABLE in this one. Good God man, he's a comedy stop sign
Why does he keep saying Francesca (fran-cess-ca) does he not hear everyone else pronouncing it differently?
Lol!!!! Immediately when he tries to do his impression. He stinks, and I don't like him
Apparently hating on Opie excuses such a retarded misspelling of “halt”.
that Jimmy sure is quick lol.
Kyle Orton is 10-0 in games where the moon was full a week and a half prior.
Jules Dash "Well you're not wrong!!!"
I love made up stats, he's number one in tds scored against opposition coached by Mike Ditka on Monday night Football.
“It’s all a bunch of hearsay.” A rare gem from the opster
Anytime opie says something mildly funny you can count on him to bring it back up and repeat himself 2 or 3 more times later in conversation
Good thing he almost never does.
Or he'll make a good joke that gets some laughs and then ruin it by saying "No, I'm being serious."
Finally someone who sees sports talk the way I always have. To bad XM ruined the O&A show.
My father played football on every TV in our house non stop growing up even well after midnight. To this day I hate the sound of a football game .
Don’t feel bad, I think I was 8 years old and my pops was obsessed with the Dallas cowboys to a point that he took all my bad ass ghostbusters sheets and pillows and custom made ghostbusters headboard and replaced it with Dallas cowboys bed sheet sets and Dallas cowboy posters.

@@cicolasnage5684 He was trying to turn you into not a loser queer. obviously he failed hard.
@@gregghuge3270Football (so called in America) is fake and gay
@@gregghuge3270but he was trying to make him a cowboys fan so he probably would've ended up the same.
@@Handlesaredumb69
Must be an Eagles fan, huh?
The first 35 seconds I could listen on repeat forever.
I fucking love Jimmy holy shit.
This is so funny. My dad used to complain about sports announcing and sports talk my whole life growing up.. when I was just a wee little one.
Jimmy's impression of an umpire calling a strike is hilarious. AEHHHHHH! HOOOOH!!!!
Around the Horn Jimmy pic got me good
"Why don't you listen, then paint your face and watch a Bjork video?"
Most underrated, under appreciated line in the entire video!

Spot on
They're told to say that.
There's no point to sports talk. there's nothing to discuss. You watch a game/event, you move on to the next one. There's very little to debate there.
You're an asshole 🖕
@@newshamhouse He's right though, as assholes usually are.
No they argue about the bad calls made by referees and umpires. And why this player sucks, why this player is great, etc.
@@CelestialWoodway
I made a bad call, Ripley. A baaad call.
Yeah but what are the yanks gunna do about not having a lefty specialist in the bullpen?!? These thing’s need to be discussed!!!
ironic that Jimmy does a UFC show now
John Snodgrass I know right? His role in the podcast is pretty much the equivalent of what he was making fun of here.
Yeah he usually interviews fighters on it though. You get talk from the fighters rather than just non athletes talking.
overthemountain90 norton is a worm and will do anything for a check
Christopher Moltisanti You still get interviews from players and former players too.
Just because he hates other sports talk shows doesn’t mean he can’t have his own.
It’s like Jocktober, O&A make fun of other hacky radio shows as part of their radio show
Jesus Christ listen to Opie at 20:09 try to say a sentence and trip up like 6-7 times. He speaks for a living doesn’t he? He stutters mumbles and can’t even finish a single thought. Who was a worse speaker Opie or Fez? At least Fez could complete a single sentence
I need a sandwich and a kiss.
Sports talk is for balding men that haven’t been blown since the 80’s
Oddly specific
Fan of sports talk I take it James?
1980!??!
I have all my hair and I was a 90's baby.
This isn't true at all lol.
Harold Carmichael!! Jimmy comes up with the random names and incidents,what a memory!
plofus wilson "Well you're not wrong!!!"
IF THEY DON’T SCORE MORE POINTS THAN THE OTHER TEAM THEY CAN’T WIN!!!
Opie may be polarizing to radio fans, but we can all agree he revolutionized mathematics with his patented “opposite math.”
All you Opie hate people sound like angry women who Opie pounded and never called back.
I hate sports talk.
I hate when sports fans refer to the team as "us" "we"
When we do it it's for us anyway.
Nobody cares
@@szammi47see 2 replies above
"We need to do well this season"
And next season
And next season
And next season
That's the point of a sport, you hope your team wins.
Sports talk can be summed up as "I hope the team I attached my identity to wins"
It pisses us off, we all agree.
"I need a sandwich and a kiss."
This is why Jim was my favorite on the Opie & Ant.
This is the hardest Jimmy has ever made me laugh
Watch his cnbc rant
every time opie speaks the brakes slam on
Agreed. I think Opie sets up the show and is great at It. Leave the jokes and comments to Anthony and Norton, there fucking genius
It's amazing how many times Mike gets pranked.
"Then paint your face and watch a Bjork video". What a fucking savage reference.
Bill Burr needs to listen to this. I love him and he's one of the best, but damn. Sports are a distraction (especially in the times we live in).
I could not care less about sports, this was funny as fuck!
Beat writers is the correct team, Gregg.
You know what Opie new it's beat writer but he plays dumb and says I forget for everything.
The '69 Jets joke killed me.
Can't wait to see Carmichael back in action
2:27
"I listen to the fans sometimes, I'm like shut the fuck up, what do you know? You know nothing"
Really Opie? Do go on.
“YOU KNOW WHAT!!!”🤣🤣🤣
Lol... I do sports radio, and yeah. This is pretty accurate, even though there are some good sports talk shows.
“Paint your face and watch a Björk video”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
"I think whoever scores the most points is gonna win".
0:59 Opie showin' off his riffin' skills
I love watching sports, HATE talking to people about them.
As a sports fanatic..I have to agree with Yimbo..
Jimmy and the rest of the tough crowd guys are the only reason i listen to O&A i mean anthony is funny and he does make me laugh but Jimmy and the TC crew are why i even know his name. Jimmy should be making the lions share of the money there. With Opie making the least.
Wish granted.
Generally I find Anthony the funniest after Patrice but yes Opie does suck
That's why I love women's volleyball.
“Mike Franceska”
- opie
I’m not sure about other cities but every job I’ve worked in Philly my coworkers listen to eagles talk in the spring. Absolutely zero new information about the team and they still listen.
Shoulda named it the jim nasium
chip chipperson Home Run, Chippah!!
Or sumtum!

@@blowswanson 😂 good one, Ope!
I love sports talk and I'd listen to In The Dugout with Jimmy EVERY DAY!!! HE'D have relevant commentary on the airwaves.
One of the best XM era bits. Ever.
This should have been named *Jimmy's Sports Talk*
The irony of wishing cancer on Tim Wakefield and he indeed died of cancer
(@15:10) Punchaspook Road... HAHAHA! Jimmy is the best.
19:00 Greatest laugh I have ever gotten from Norton.Bravo.
I need a sandwich and a kiss.
Jimmy is such a sweet boy I love him
Neil from Queens is spot on. Boozer and Snell were outstanding.
Did anyone else get douche chills at 0:58
Yep. Jim saved him a few times during this bit. It's still one of my favorites.
+Shane Brennan Opie is as useful as tits on a male morning show host.
You hear an audible sigh as Oqie is trying to straithing his 'joke'.
Yeah it was great when he stopped letting Yimmy do his characters.
Absolutely.
Jim Norton Is Burning
Jake Lop ah yankee reference. That was a good show
Cant spell sports without CIA
And now jim does an mma podcast with an ex fighter interviewing other fighters and talking about the sport.
Wormlike behavior
A Bronx Tale ruined sports for me forever.
Hahahah I know exactly what your talking about, it did the same for me
It almost ruined it for me too it's def gives me a different out look on them that's for sure !!!!!
It’s good to realize that it’s honestly stupid to be a die hard sports fan. Regardless of whether your team wins or loses your life hasn’t changed.
I've seen Bronx Tale a few times but don't get the sports reference to it. Can you refresh my memory?
@@MrAxelStone A bunch of wise guys and bikers trap a poor little Yankees fan in a saloon. They give him the 7th-inning stretch
Hey Mike thanks for taking my call, I think we should trade Jeter and Teixeira for Albert Pujols.
As a Philly sports fan, I was absolutely crying and coughing with laughter when Jimmy was making fun of WIP in the beginning; That is literally every other caller, to the point where even the hosts make fun of that.
Carmichael coming back...gonna fly!
"says sports talk is all heresay".
You have to look up Mike Francessa falling asleep on the air in the middle of his show. Can't say it's not boring when the host himself is zzzzzzing off.
They should call the show "The Spittoon"
Now he does the ufc unfiltered podcast
Money talks. It’s just like Joey Diaz had a whole shtick about not liking weed gear like weed centric clothing, now he’s in partnership with a Dispensary out in California that sells a strain called Laughing Gas with a cartoon version of his face with devils horns on the bud packaging and there’s ball caps, stocking caps, and hoodies with the same logo on it for sale as well
Joey Coke
"So for the next two and a half hours we'll be talking about blue eyed people and how the jews aren't! uhhghsaid hitler." LOL
Opie pretty much destroys this by taking calls
Jimmy made the same strike zone argument last month...13 years later.
2:15 “I need a sandwich and a kiss.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
His "beat it!" is something also.
Child of the 80s hahahaha that's so hacky
You can hear Anthony ugh at 1:00 when opie is attempting comedy.
Damn good catch lol stepped all over Jimmys hilarious cancer crack
Yeah!! Let’s throw the ball around guys!! Blahahahaha! Priceless.
6:56 Suzyn Waldman looks like Ruth Buzzi.
Oh wait...
...it is.
The funny thing is most people who watch sports have never played any and have no idea what they are talking about.
Sour Shoes was the only
beacon of light.
18:34 - 18:47 Best part. Had me laughing my ass off.
Stop having UFC bores on your radio show then, Jimmy.
PunchASpook Road! Hahaha, Jimmy is killing it.
“Tim water behind a boat valley or somethin” ahhahahahaha
Jimmy's "drop dead" and "you stink" are worse than any insult you can dish out to someone lol so much anger
Some people's entire free time is spent memorizing useless sports stats
No, those people are just smart
Jimmy is great!
THATS WHAT SUSAN WALDMAN LOOKS LIKE????Holy shit,she looks like a Jim Henson character
I can't tell if it's more Gilda radner or Ruth buzzey
For me, the worst part about this shit is “die hard” sports women who you can clearly tell that they only give a shit about a certain team because their boyfriend/husband/father were diehard fans. So they have some “kitschy” pink version of the team jersey. And when they talk it’s obvious that they’re just regurgitating anything they’ve heard their male family members say.
They are like the holes of sports fans
"the tight end" with Lil Jimmy
Ron Jaworski's on the sideline COACHIN
Sounds a lot like Bill Bur's bit from his podcast
Jimmy's right. Sports talk SUCKS. Yet it's the only fucking thing bars and restaurants play all day every day on their TVs.
Damn I miss angry Yimmy.
You know what they gotta do! Everybody hates you know what they gotta do guy.
