Best RB Quiz

November 10, 2019 by nflinlondon

NFL RB QUiZ

Can you name some of the best running backs in the NFL?
Are you able to smell out the ‘Sweetness‘, taste the ‘Juice‘, or will you be sucking up ‘Diesel‘?
Get 20/20 or get run over by the ‘Bus‘.

The answers to the quiz are at the end of video.

Walter Payton

Who would be my top running back of all time?
Not much time to think on this one.
It would have to be Walter Payton.
Sure, he’s a Chicago Bear, I have a bias to them, & he was one of my all time heroes growing up.
He’s still the best.
Walter was called sweetness not only for his fancy moves on the field, but of his charisma, charm and integrity off the field.

Emmitt Smith

I also grew up hating Emmitt Smith.
Only because my friend John Prpic was a Cowboys fan, and I loud bulwark during the heyday of Troy & the boys.
He was darn good though.
‘Catch 22’ could cut through a defence like Christmas paper and not leave any blood.
That Cowboys team was a solid one.

John Riggins

Diesel was crazy. I remember watching him in the 80s’ with my dad, & he was enthralled with how fierce Riggins was. Riggins played like he was on meth & enjoyed it. He beat up other teams, gashed yards & enjoyed it. Later on, he also delved into media, which was equally awesome to watch him try to act, and not like it was on a substance.
No personalities like that these days.

Bo Jackson

Everybody knows Bo.
Bo blew up my childhood more than when I created mustard gas when I was 10.
Watching him dominate in 2 sports was a revelation of potential.
Bo knew and did it all.
He was black Santa, that killed it in every sport.
When I’m drunk I don’t call my exes, I watch old video of Bo Jackson running up the wall to catch a baseball.

OJ Simpson

Say what you will about OJ, murdering his wife, being a dick, fathering a Kardashian..he actually played football. And like, good.
Juice gave Buffalo hope to a town that was only known for massacring, frying & marinating chickens for their non-flight ability.
That’s a lot of hope.

Jim Brown

Jim Brown was a bad ass-mofo.
Not only could NO ONE stop him on the field, he was cool off the field as well.
Brown beat up other teams with his punishing assault on their D line, putting the fear of injury in many a man who needed a smoke during the turnovers.
Number 32 was also a great actor and mentor as well as an inspiration to African American artists & athletes.

How many can you get right on this tough quiz?

I would be truly impressed if you could get 20/20 on the first go.

Wade’s Week 10 Parlays

November 10, 2019 by nflinlondon

Parlay-alay! It’s time to make some money in Week 10 of the NFL!
I’ve put together my top parlay list for Week 10 in the NFL so that you can make some money.

The one above is a great little earner.
The Browns to upset the Bills at home, the Cardinals to beat the spread in a high scoring Bucs game, Steelers D to win again, and the Chiefs to Mahomes away the Titans.

Here are some of my picks

Bills @ Browns (-2.5)

The Browns deserve to win here. They are feeling low, and a home win is what Mayfield needs to charge up the engines. The Bills are cruising at 6-2, and so they might want to experiment with this offence of theirs to gear up for a playoff run.
BROWNS WIN 24-20

Cardinals @ Bucs (-4.5)

Will Jameis be able to hold onto the ball & throw for 300 yards? Maybe. But the Cards are playing renegade football these days & Murray can run. This will be a big points game, but the Bucs turnover the ball too much & tank in the 4th.
CARDINALS WIN 27-23

Rams (-3.5) @ Steelers

The Steelers are like a broken toy that seems to be putting itself together. They are not entirely out in this division, and their D is holding them in some of these games. Injuries have been smarting, but so has the Rams O line. Goff hates being chased & often makes mistakes. He will be chased & picked in this one.
STEELERS WIN 28-26

Chiefs (-6) @ Titans

Mahomes is back! Hide your end zones! Patty is looking to bitch slap this Titans D & if they can get their running game pumping, they can surely start cooking to the finish line. Their D is solid, and that spells trouble for Ryan & his O line. Tannehill is going to be looking for a hill, because there will be nothing in front of him.
CHIEFS WIN 33-20

Wade’s Week 10

November 10, 2019 by nflinlondon

Week 10 is here, and I make my top picks for Week 10 in the NFL.

Last week was a dick-punch for me.
Sure, there were a few games that got away from me, but there were also some that were just a toss because of stupid mistakes made by stupid players.
I ended up going 4-8-1, which severely hurt the 74% high I was riding on previous to this.

Let’s hope I can rebound in Week 10, which has some truly stinker games in it.

Some of my top games to look at:

-6 Chiefs (5-3) vs Titans (4-4) +48

All hail Mahomes! That’s right, he screwed his knee back on and is ready to battle the Ryan Tannehill and the rest of the Tennessee team.
Matt Moore played great in his absence, and the D really came together for them when they needed it.
The Chiefs are pushing for that second home field spot, so they will be punishing teams like they did at the start of last season.
Look for this one to get out of hand.
Chiefs win big.

Falcons (1-7) vs -13.5 Saints (7-1) +44.5

Drew Brees is also back, and has had another week to rest and prepare for their division rivals.
Matt Ryan is also back after a week of watching his team lose AGAIN, so I wonder how motivated he will be?
13.5 points is a pretty big ask in this one, even with New Orleans playing at home.
Will they really want to crush the Falcons into dust, or do what they did last season and experiment?
Look for them to move the ball around, and you might even see Taysom Hill in there just for fun.
Kamara will still have a beast of a game.
Saints win-Falcons cover.

Cardinals (3-5-1) vs -4.5 Buccaneers (2-6) +52

Hmmm, the Bucs are favoured by 4.5 points exactly now? This seems a big spread give how Jameis loves to drop the ball. Sure, they can put up a lot of points, but they also make a lot of mistakes.
Kyler Murray is growing in confidence, and I could see him having a fun game here.
He will spread the ball around and run against this defense who will start seeing ghosts.
Cardinals WIN.

Dolphins (1-7) vs -10.5 Colts (5-3) +44

The Dolphins aren’t even trying anymore, and it shows soooo baddd. Why do the fans even bother going out to support them? The Colts have the aged Brian Hoyer in today, which makes me wonder what he can do? He had a great game last week in support, and this veteran could have another big game.
I am tempted to take him in the DraftKings pool, as he is very cheap-but he could also suck the big one for no points.
It is Miami though, and while they might suck, you can never really count them out.

Week 10 Preview

November 10, 2019 by nflinlondon

Week 10 is already upon us! Geez-this season has just blown by.
Not blown by if you’re a Dolphins, Bengals or Browns fan…but some some-just blown by.

So who wins the big games in Week 10 of the NFL?
Wade McElwain & Ryan Cull are here to break down some of the big games in this podcast.
Make sure you subscribe and listen every week so that you don’t miss out.

Some of the games that they talk about this week include:

The Battle of New York

This would have been epic, in say another time or dimension, but this game is looking like it’s going to be a ‘boo-fest’ of displeasure.
The Giants have been beaten up worse that gravity and posture could ever humble a Giant, while the Jets look like they are being flown by JFK Jr.
This game will stink really bad.
Wade & Ryan discuss how.

Bills due in Brown-Town

The Browns are favoured by 2.5 points in this game, which might seem a bit insane-until you realise that the Bills have barely played anyone this season of value.
The Browns will be hungry and at home, and Baker Mayfield better show some signs of life-or this whole team that they assembled won’t be worth it.
Wade and Ryan both think the Bills are due a loss here.

Soldier On

The Bears host the Lions on the eve of Remembrance Day, and Soldier Field will be feeling pretty dang patriotic.
Can Mitch Trubisky put together a capital effort here against the Lions.
Given that they usually play Detroit well at home, this is a MUST win game for Mitch.
The crowd will be loud, and the further Mitch falls behind, the more the crowd will want his head.
Wade & Ryan both think the Bears can pull this off though.

Tennessee Hoedown

Patrick Mahomes is back! He rotated that knee back into place and he is ready to take on the Titans at home. Matt Moore put in a good performance, but after the Pats lost last week-the Chiefs have to feel motivated that they aren’t out of this.
Ryan Tannehill will be chased, poked and prodded and will face a tough day from this improving Chiefs D.
Mahomes should have a big day, and the Titans will fall.

Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich

November 8, 2019 by nflinlondon

Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich is one of the hottest things in America right now.
Some might say that it’s hotter than Tom Brady.
Might say that, not for sure.

It was only a few weeks ago that Day Prescott was in the huddle, extolling the virtues of Wendy’s spicy chicken nuggets, so we know that NFL players are chicken obsessed.
https://www.12up.com/posts/video-dak-prescott-talking-about-wendy-s-spicy-nuggets-in-cowboys-huddle-is-hilarious-01dnjhjjsj42

So people will do ANYTHING to get their hands on these greasy, bird burgers.
How far does anything go?

Well take a look at this video and watch as this lady totals the side of her Mercedes trying to sneak into the drive thru.
Karma is certainly a bitch, and it looks like this lady might be as well.
What the heck was she thinking?
You can see her trying to angle her car in front of another car that was RIGHTFULLY in the drive-thru line.
She then proceeds to scrape her car against the metal bollard as she tries in vain once again to get to the line to get a chicken sandwich.

The best is the girl casually eating her sandwich while watching in silence as this moron destroys her car.
I wonder what she says to her partner when she gets home?
‘I was side-swiped, and they drove away!’
Uh huh.
Until he goes on YouTube.

Ryan’s Midseason Awards

November 7, 2019 by nflinlondon

Ryan Cull is a comedian, writer, husband & Buffalo Bills fan.
All of these things are hard to be
Here are his nominations for the half-way awards.
An awards season for being almost there.

NFL in London Mid Season Awards

MVP – Christian McCaffrey

No one has dominated the NFL and fantasy like Christian McCaffrey. When you see him line up against you during a matchup you might as well go to IKEA because there’s no point watching football this week. With over 800 yards, 10 TD’s and 40 rec he’s on his way to a LaDanian Tomlinson type season. There hasn’t been a white running back producing like this since John Riggins. If he can do it then maybe one day, a white guy can win the 100m in the Olympics.

LVP – Baker Mayfield

The one good thing about living in the UK is that I wasn’t forced to sit through Baker Mayfield commercials all off-season. They are just as awful as the Go Compere Guy I bet. Freddie Kitchens aside, Baker has been a turnover machine, quick tempered with the media, and not getting the ball to Odell. And we all know that a productive Odell is a happy Odell. If Baker doesn’t pick it up in the second half there’s going to be more drama in Cleveland then a Logan Roy Family Thanksgiving.

Rookie of the Year – Josh Jacobs

Member the Daniel Jones hype! I member! That was a fun time, when he was the second coming of Brady and the sure fire ROY. Now having regressed almost weekly, he has opened the door for the most consistent rookie Josh Jacobs. Now 7th in the NFL in rushing with 6 TDS, Josh Jacobs makes Jon Gruden look like a genius, and he needs it after the Clelin Ferrell pick which is looking like a disaster. Jacobs has kept the Raiders relevant in a season where everyone expected them to fall on their face. After the AB debacle and keeping the Raiders at 4-4, maybe Gruden hasn’t lost it!

Fantasy Player of the Year – Lamar Jackson

We will witness another shift in fantasy football next year and it will involve whether you draft Lamar Jackson number 1 overall. It’s now an official debate. A QB who can also run for 1,000 yards is like having a RB who throws 20 TDs. (Now that’s the future of the NFL!) Either way, we should all enjoy Lamar while we can because that reckless playing has never worked long term. But then again, we say Brady can’t keep doing it and look at him! Look at your master and bow down to him!……shit, sorry that was weird. The computer started typing on its own. Let’s move on.

Other Awards

Best Moustache (Or known as the Canadian Mullet) – Gardner Minshew

First Coach Fired Award – Dan Quinn – sorry Mr. Clean, it’s time to get your stain off the Falcons

Biggest Disappointment – The AFC – Get it together guys, it’s embarrassing out there. You are like the East in the NBA. Unwatchable.

Take on Ryan in the $100,000 DraftKings contest.

Week 9 Review

November 7, 2019 by nflinlondon

The Week 9 Review is here as Wade & Ryan look at all the week 9 games.

Wade took a beating going 4-8-1 and punching his stats in the gunt. Ryan was away so his picks don’t really count.

The Jaguars hosted the Texans, & it might have well been a cuckolding party as Houston ran a train on the femininity of Jacksonville.
Minshew needs to shave, & wait for the trade bus.

The Bears took another beating as Mitch Trubisky looks like Mr. Magoo when it comes to passing. His QB IQ has to be on the lowest scale of passers. Yeah, turn off the tvs-it won’t hurt as much.

Packers vs Chargers. So were the Pack-a-hella-hung after their Sat night in the city of herpes?
They looked more sluggish than a child asked to do chores. A delightful beating on the pack.

Listen to the podcast & you will find out why the ship-show goes to butnutts.

TNF-Chargers v Raiders

November 7, 2019 by nflinlondon

-1 LA Chargers (4-5) vs LA Raiders (4-4) +48.5

It’s another ruckus night of TNF, as the battle of LA hits the late night NFL session.
Who wins in this battle of the middle of the road teams?

The Chargers are coming off a surprising beatdown of the Green Bay Packers, which had everyone in the NFC North fist-pumping the sky over the humbling of Aaron Rodgers.
They executed a punishing run offence that the Packers struggled to contain.
Melvin Gordon FINALLY had a good game, and Philip Rivers and his anemic O-Line didn’t look as horrible as they normally do.

The Raiders laid a nice little beating on the Lions last week, and were able to sustain a great running game to stifle the feisty cats.
Matt Stafford was impressive in this defeat, and continues to impress even if his team depresses.

The Chargers joy will be short-lived, as the Raiders are actually quite good against the run.
Rivers will once again struggle to connect, but should be able to find a few deep ball burns on the Raiders.
Josh Jacobs will be the key here, gashing the Chargers at will, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was able to hit 200 yards.

I have the Raiders to stymie the Chargers and get a home win…well technically it’s home to both teams, but doubtful that any Chargers fans will show up.

RAIDERS WIN

Redzone

November 7, 2019 by nflinlondon

What goes on with Scott Hanson?
How is he able to be so zippy fresh each week as he presents NFL Redzone?

Well we pull back the green screen and give you a backstage pass to everyone’s favourite Sunday program.
NFL Films has produced a video that shows exactly what happens every Sunday with Scott Hanson and the Redzone crew.

Did you know that he has NEVER taken a bathroom break on air so far?
What a feat for a champ of a host.

The great thing about Scott is that not only is he amazing at what he does, but he genuinely has a great time doing it.
Who else would be able to do this job?

NFL Redzone first launched in 2009, which means we are now celebrating the 10th anniversary of Scott and co.
Way to go Redzone!
Keep up the good work!
