Week 17 Memery

by

Just when you think that an NFL week is the craziest it has ever been, it smacks you on the dick-tip with another juicy weekend of drama.

Hold our beer Antonio Brown! Hey! Where you going?

In our Week 17 Memery, we reflect back on some of the funniest and most interesting stories, all told through the art of memes.

NFL Meme artists are the Picasso’s of our sporting time, able to encapsulate the sheer frustration and energy of audiences in a timely and home filled fashion.

Here are just some of the best from Week 17 in the NFL.

NFL Playoffs in London

The NFL Playoffs are fast approaching, and we are working to find the best places to watch the games.

The Sports Bar & Grill Old Street and Clapham are the best places to watch the games, but they need you to book a table if you’re coming.

COVID has kicked many bars in the teeth, and all the changing rules means staffing has been an issue for everyone.
By booking ahead you allow the bar to not only determine how much staff they need, but also plan for rushes and slow periods to maintain quality service.

Book here for Old Street & Clapham and help out the bar staff that have been here for you when you’re wasted.

17 Thoughts

by

What another wild penultimate ending to the NFL as we cruise even further towards the playoffs.

With some truly bizarre incidents that went down, we offer some week 17 thoughts on the whole shebang.

AB

What can you say about what happened with Antonio Brown? In a truly sad meltdown in the third quarter against the Jets, AB took off his shirt and quit football.

A public mental health breakdown spiralled into AB leaving the Bucs and the NFL.
Whatever it was that transpired in the game, the selfish shutdown of his team was felt in shock as we all witnessed a collapse under pressure.

As Tom Brady said, now is the time to feel empathy for Antonio Brown, and he’s a grown man who needs to own up to his feelings and responsibilities.

Tom Brady

Tom Brady took an early punch to his beautiful chin as the Jets took a quick lead against the stunned Bucs.
He then had to watch in disbelief in the meltdown of AB, a guy he vouched for, stayed at his house, played with his kids.

TB12 did what he does, delivering a last minute knockout to the Jets, and offering perhaps the classiest and touching take on the AB situation. Be nice, and leave him alone.

Rodger That

Aaron Rodgers and the Packers won again, beating another depleted team at home and securing a spot in the cheddar tundra.

Making it look easy against a Cousins-less squad, Green Bay only have the plucky Lions left in a final fun blowout.

All this to lose in the NFC final.

Chase

Jamar Chase is just awesome. The rookie blasted his way to another Sunday of stats, making any fantasy final a blowout thanks to his crazy day.

Leaping over last seasons’ rookie Jefferson, Chase was a beast this season in fantasy points and looks to do the same heading into the post season.

Chase and Burrow are truly going to put on a smoke show heading into the playoffs.

Bears

Was it that the Bears were awesome or that the Giants truly do suck, as Chicago Bears romped to a Nagy-happy win on Sunday.

The Bears put up 29 points, but the win really went to the D, who absolutely trounced poor Mike Glennon and the hapless Gmen.

Chicago had a really bad season thanks to injuries, coaching and coaching through injuries, so hopefully the owners will steer the ship in the right direction.

Pats

Your friend from Bawstawn is loud on the Sam Adams again, as the Patriots are once again headed to the playoffs looking like a threat.

Sure, they beat the Jags who suck harder than a gas station vacuum, but by putting 50 points on the legs of 2 running backs, New England is solid again.

No one is going to want to face the Patriots the first round, but they won’t have the legs to vomit all the way to the finish line.

Rammy

Matt Stafford and the Rams continue to look average, as he has been completing more passes to his D than he does to his receivers.

Sean Mcvay should be nervous, as his only game plan is to rely on the legs of Sony Michel. The Rams have been iffy since they lost Robert Woods, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to get better.

Saints

How bout dem Saints? New Orleans put up an easy win over the ruined Panthers.

Taysom Hill was able to eek out a low scoring win as the Saints look to snag one of the last playoff spots of the season.

It’s the Saints D that really is the difference here, as them with the solid legs of Kamara could really put a dent in one of the first rounds if they can get the slot.

Auld Langs

by

Happy New Year everyone!

We hope that Santa was good to you, that you avoided this nasty flu that’s going around, and you made it to the finals of your NFL Fantasy Playoffs.

Wade and Ryan are back for another cross-Atlantic podcast, as we bid adieu to 2021, and hope for better things in 2022.

Week 17 is almost upon us, and the COVID exemptions are already starting to pile up, with over 200 players expected to be affected by Sunday.

If you’re in the know, and good at betting, you should be able to find some juicy picks out of the rumble of games slated to kickoff for Week 17 in our Auld Langs podcast.

We’ve got our podcast locked and loaded for you, so that you listen, relax and let the Joe Average aura of the guys take you to your happy place.

Among some of the games the guys look at this week.

Dolphins (8-7) vs -3.5 Titans (10-5) +39.5

Tua and the fopping fish have had a heck of a season, winning seven straight games after losing 7 straight games, the only team to ever accomplish such a feat.
They sunk the Saints, but now look to a desperate Tennessee team who need the home crowd to help them take it over the top.

The Titans have suffered since losing Derek Henry earlier in the season. Without a smack in the face running game, they have had to rely on a Ryan Tannehill who lost most of the tools in his belt.

Ryan and Wade both like Tennessee to win, but Wade thinks that Miami should be able to keep in close with some of their receivers returning to health.

Ryan-Titans 23 Dolphins 16
Wade-Titans 21 Dolphins 18

-3.5 LA Rams (11-4) vs Ravens (8-7) +47

Matt Stafford and the Rams have everyone scratching their heads.
What was thought to be a wham bam, thank you kick in the West coast, has many wondering if Matt can carry the load he was expected to.
Bad back, defence that allows plenty of points, and losing Robert Woods took notch out of their depth.

Baltimore has been a steaming hot mess since Lamar went down, losing most of their D in the process.
Huntley was good, until he got injured, and hopefully one of them should be back this week.

Wade & Ryan agree that this is going to be one heck of a game, but that for the Ravens, this might be the more desperate time.

Ryan likes the Rams to grab and hold a good lead, while Wade figures the Ravens to be feisty enough to keep it close.

Ryan-Rams 27 Ravens 20
Wade-Rams 26 Ravens 25

-3.5 Eagles (8-7) vs Washington FT (6-9)  +45

Jalen Hurts is starting to play like his career depends on it, as the Eagles desperately chase one of the final playoff spots.
The Eagles have found some nuggets of gold in their roster this season, but have failed to develop their fortitude when it matters.

WFT is coming off a blowout by the Cowboys last week, in a game where they played every string left in the roster. They will have some of their main dudes back for Week 17, but with season slipping away, the motivation might be hard to come by.

Ryan is all over the Eagles in this one, taking Hurts and the boys for a smooth ride over a roughshot Washington team.

Wade believes that in these key moments, some teams just poop the bed, and this will be the case this week. When you want a win that bad, you often mess it up to spite yourself.

Ryan-Eagles 27 WFT 17
Wade-WFT 21 Eagles 20

That’s it for Week 17 picks, hopefully you find some wisdom in the ramblings.

Santa’s Ride

by

Ho Ho Ho’s all around to our NFL in London friends and family around the world.

It’s been a crazy, messed up year, but at least we have some football back right?

Wade and Ryan might be separated by an ocean, but that hasn’t stopped them from putting out a new podcast, and video podcast so that you can see our shinning, ugly faces.

In Santa’s Ride, the guys travel the world in this vodcast, talking about the NFL, COVID, NFL fantasy, the playoffs..and of course legal weed.

Week 16 Picks

The guys are happy to share their picks with you for Week 16, even though they know that COVID, injuries and Santa might be playing a role in the outcome on Sunday.

Wade dials his picks in from Canada, while Ryan is doing daddy duty in London.

Sunday Funday

Why not join us every Sunday at the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street & Clapham.

We have loads of great offers on food, beer and friendship.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone!

Santa’s Slay

by

What a wild wicked week in the NFL as COVID, injuries, winter and Christmas all had a kick at the league.

Could things get worse for week 16? Who knows?
Hold my beer, as Wade & Ryan break down their week 16 picks in this Santa’s Slay podcast.

If you’ve made it thus far in your fantasy season, congrats!
If you’re already out of your league, no worries…you have another 10 months until the season kicks off again.

Among some of the games Wade & Ryan look at in this podcast, includes:

Browns (7-7) vs -8 Packers (11-3) +44.5

Cleveland steams into week 16 with loads of of issues and plenty of room to screw up.
Baker’s play has been as bad as his acting, with the Browns struggling to make anything happen in another dismal year.

Aaron Rodgers is on his farewell toe tour, watching his MVP chances slip away the more airtime that he gives to Pat Mcafee.
Despite all of this, Rodgers keeps the Packers in the hunt, only to eventually tank in the NFC championship.

A-Aron should continue his winning ways here, as the Browns have been a stinky butthole all season.

Ryan and Wade both think that 8 points is a bit of stretch given that the Browns have quite a few players returning form injury.

Ryan-Packers 26 Browns 23
Wade- Packers 28 Browns 24

-3 LA Rams (10-4) vs Vikings (7-7) +49.5

The Rams continue to trudge towards the playoffs, losing players to COVID and injury along the way. Stafford is trying to carry the team on his bad back, but it’s the defence that has been providing the glue in the tight games.

The Vikings are pains in the butts for many teams. Despite not being good enough to go all the way, they are good enough to play havoc with some of the better teams in the league.
They have enough talent to rip seams in the fabric of better teams, and ruin their chances of spotless playoff play.

Wade is big on the Vikes on this one, as they always play games close, and add a bit of flavour to the proceedings.
Ryan agrees with Wade’s passionate prediction, making both guys big on Minnesota on Sunday.

Wade- Vikings 30 Rams 28
Ryan- Vikings 30 Rams 27

Bills (8-6) vs Patriots -2.5 (9-5) +43.5

Weather this game will be close or not, should be down to the wind, after the last contest was a freeze out.

Mac Jones was perfect in his 3 passes, as Bill Belichick continues to lead penalty free football into the post season. The Patriots will be lucky to face the same Buffalo team, who started to adapt to Bellicose Bill in the second half.

Buffalo needs this win like a wing needs sauce. Dry rubbing their skin into the playoffs isn’t a good idea, as they continue to slide down the ranks of playoff potential.

Ryan is big on Buffalo this weekend, and has all the faith in Josh Allen to thwart the pugnacious Pats in a tight Sunday.
Wade agrees, and thinks this the chance for Buffalo to right the ship into the clear harbour.

Ryan-Bills 24 Patriots 20
Wade- Bills 21 Patriots 18
