Hip and the Lip give their take on the collective NFC/AFC Championship game snooze fests while hoping that Super Bowl 51 between the Falcons and Patriots will yield just a tad more excitement.  The boys do hold back on breaking down the “Big Game” due their fear of contributing to the oversaturation of “expert pre-game analysis,” however they promise to share their thoughts on next week’s show.  The Lip expresses his disdain for the NFL Pro Bowl while the Hip has some choice words for an NBA superstar (no it’s not Carmelo!).  The boys share a laugh over the extreme parity in the NHL while declaring mild optimism for the Islanders in the post-Capuano era.  The duo conclude with a “Hipster Moment of Zenith” that will surely rankle all thirteen Brooklyn Nets fans while the Hip is “baited” into providing his opinion on the frosty relationship between the media and our new President.
