Due Date

by

Deshaun gets his back to work date, TB12 takes time off work, and our man Ryan is having another baby!
All this and more in our Due Date podcast.

 Goes to 11

So the NFL has finally finagled the Deshaun Watson situation, and the ruling is…11 games!

How weird that his first game back is facing his old team the Texans? You sure know how to write a script NFL!

Despite howls of ‘Boos’ and ‘Boo-Urns’, Watson has been rather oblivious to the whole shit-suation surrounding him.

With the league finally nailing down a return to work date, we can all get back to what’s most important in this league…making fun of the Cowboys.

TB Time

TB12 checked into training camp, then promptly checked out having declared a need for personal time.

This sent internet sleuths into a tizzy, who quickly claimed that the reason Tommy Boy was taking time off, was to appear on FOX’s ‘The Masked Singer.’

Like the Korean dish kimchi, ‘The Masked Singer’ has invaded our shores with ear-shredding celebrities surprising C-list celebs with their singing skills (or lack thereof.)

If Brady did sign up for this show, it would surely signal his shark-jump of cool, going from the goofy drunk guy who tossed the Lombardi into the drink, into…Rudi Guliani.

Hopefully this is all a horrible nightmare, like Marvels ‘Eternals.’

AB Me Me

Have you forgotten about Antonio Brown yet? Well, you should.

AB is desperately trying to get anyone to listen to him, as he makes his case for the Dallas Cowboys to take a chance on him.

Despite signs of dementia and poor decision making in the past, owner Jerry Jones was quick to poo-poo any chance of AB becoming one of ‘Dem Boyz’.

Maybe AB could appear on ‘The Masked Singer”? Oh, that’s right, he already did in 2019 when he skipped Steelers practices.

Catfish

Who wants catfish for dinner?

Certainly not Manti Te’o, who is the subject of a new Netflix documentary about the nut-bar situation he was placed in when catfished during his college career.

At the time, Manti became fodder for the late night talk shows, who were quick to trash this kid who got suckered in by a catfisher, instead blaming Te’o for ‘making her up.’

Nice to see that despite a country accusing him of lying, trashing his mental health, and not even investigating the truth at the time, Manti was able to come out with his sanity.

Injuries

It wouldn’t be the preseason without a slew of injuries to kick it all off, and the NFL preseason did not disappoint!

Zac Wilson broke a boner on his moms’ friend-is what the trash rags like the NY Post will have you believe.
Wilson will be out for 2-4 weeks after a bone bruise during PS-hopefully the press can be a bit more forgiving with this young man.

The Bucs lost a big chunk of their O-line after losing several key members to injury in training camp.

Browns centre Nick Harris tore his ACL, and will be out for the season.

This goes to show you why you NEVER run your fantasy draft until the season starts.

Favre KO

Anyone who has heard Brett Favre talk, knows that he has spent a career taking hits to the head.

It’s a bit of a surprise however when Brett revealed the extent of his head hits, reckoning that he has had ‘thousands’ of concussions throughout his playing daze.

From bight white lights, loss of sound and vision, to being front row at a Nickleback concert, these hits have made a mess out of Favre’s head.

You only have to watch highlight of Brett’s career to realise that he wasn’t exaggerating…much.

Fantasy

What kind of fantasy do you guys like to play?

Straight-up season? Daily? Pick’em pools?

Well, we’re going to offer you the chance to join in some of our pools for the 2022 season.

All will be revealed next week!

 

 

Decision Appeal

by

It’s August NFL fans! Which means that it’s okay to start talking about football all day every day!

Wade & Ryan are back at the mike, and ready to dose out a healthy heaping of NFL banter, in this Decision Appeal podcast.

With the regular season only a month away, there are plenty of things to discuss in this episode, including:

Watson Appeal

Not even Gomer Pyle would be ‘surprised, surprised’ to find out that Roger Goodell and the league would appeal the 6 game suspension doled out to Deshaun last week.

Players and fans took to social media to compare the unfair punishment levied on Watson, and how other NFL players fared for weed, abuse, and drunk driving.

Whatever the result, this DW sitch ain’t going anywhere for the foreseeable future.

Whether Watson plays, is suspended, or is dragged into the streets and beaten with a switch-fans just want to watch football.

Save the drama for another channel.

Breaking Brady

Miami was also hit by the long arm of the NFL, as it smacked the Dolphins for decades of douchery when it comes to their hiring practices.

From secretly approaching Tommy Boy and Sean Payton, (but not throwing games)-the Dolphins lose Draft picks over the next two years.

Fortunately for Miami, two years is too far for Tua to throw.

Broken Brady

Bad news for the Bucs, as TB12 has already started to leak weapons before the season has even started.

Centre Ryan Jensen is out for the season, and Bucs beast Tristan Wirfs has also experienced injuries to kick off training camp.

Like last season, there will be a lot of ‘bondo’ players brought in to patch up the holes for attrition.

The real question is, which teams injuries will take them out of the post season before they even have a chance to qualify?

Deebo

Deebo Samuel can finally relax, after having been paid by the 49ers for his ridiculous efforts at multiple roles last season.

Fantasy owners were equally pumped and fearful each week, as DS became the heart of your team, but could also leave you in ruins if he got smoke out.

Deebo will take home $71.55m over 3 years, with $58.1m guaranteed. Even better are the bonuses he will make for getting over 380 rushing yards ($650k), 3 rushing TDs ($150k).

Deebo should be able to do all that by week 3!

Bucking Broncos

Bad news for the Broncos, as they have already lost speedster Tim Patrick and RB Danarea Crockett for the season to ACL tears.

Patrick was a surprising uptick in the second half of fantasy last year, given plenty of points to players whose teams were riddled by injuries.

It would have been nice to see Russ cook with Patrick, but as it seems now, he’ll have to stay on the warming tray on the sidelines until 2023.

Fantasy Party

Have you hosted your NFL fantasy party already? Are you insane?

We have already seen plenty of keeners on social media, putting up pics of their ‘epic’ NFL Fantasy Draft.

Dudes, it’s August. There’s plenty of shit show to come, and you risk have a totally ruinous league by drafting too early.

Injuries, firings, more injuries, and depth rosters still have to be adjusted, not to mention that the preseason hasn’t even been played yet.

You could draft a whole team in August, only to find out that most of your squad was either hurt, benched or traded before the opening kickoff.

It’s good that you’re a keener, just be careful that your gusto doesn’t get you going too quickly.

Fantasy Pools

Are you interested in joining Fantasy Pools this year?

We’re looking at hosting a Weekly Pick’Em, and a Survivor Pool this year for our fans.

Would you be interested?

We will roll out more news on this in the next few weeks, so watch this space!

 

Half Bakered

by

We’re into the first week of July, which means the preseason is only weeks away as we get set to kick of the 2022 NFL season.

With all the hoopla and huzzah, Wade and Ryan take some time in this podcast to look at some of the lingering NFL news prior to the start of the season, with this Half Bakered Podcast.

Here’s the link to get your weekend sorted.

Among some of the things the guys talk about in this episode includes:

Baker Boy

Baker Mayfield is officially a Carolina Panther. Or is he?
Further to a medical test, BM could be shooting his load down the coast this season to help the woeful Panthers move on from Darnold Time.

With all the drama coming out of Cleveland, it’s nice to see some sort of finality come to the situation for Mayfield, who has been trending dirty water in the wake of the Deshaun Watson trade.

Whether Watson plays this season is up to the football Gods (or Goodell)-but the way it’s looking, he’ll be riding the pine, while Baker has a chance to start and finish the season.

It could be the Jacoby Brissett show now in Cleveland, as Baker can finally go off to his own pizza oven and get baked.

Jimmy G

Now that Baker has finally found his new forever home, the lens of focus hits over to Jimmy Garoppolo and his perfect jaw.

With Baker shuffling off to Carolina, the only real places to fall for Jimmy G are the Seahawks, and the Seahawks.

Given the divisional double tap, it’s highly unlikely that San Fran would want to allow him to come back and torch them twice.

Jimmy might be best to wait until week 4, when many of the teams will have already lost their starting QB to injury  or jail.

That’s Jimmy’s perfect sweet spot-sliding into the DMs.

Nice Tat Bro

A few weeks have gone by without anyone mentioning Aaron Rodgers, so he did something about that…he got a tattoo!

True to Rodgers form, the tat is cryptic, mysterious, and way to expensive for regular chums like us to afford.

Aaron went all witchy with this one, incorporating lions, the all seeing eye, and only black and white bro.

If only the tattoo could run a 4 second 40, then it might have a chance to really impress the fans this season.

Bear Up and Down

The rumours are swirling that the Chicago Bears are teasing the city that they are indeed ready to pack up and move for 2026.

With a big ass facility in Arlington Heights, the Bears could benefit from creating a whole new world around the team, adding shopping, hotels, bars and a home for Aaron Rodgers to own the team.

The city of Chicago came back this week with a plan-put a dome on it!

Mayor Lori is proposing taking the NFL’s smallest stadium (61,500) and raise the roof, adding a dome and another 15000 seats.

Sure it would take away from being an outdoor stadium in one of the coldest NFL cities, and erase the gorgeous views of Lake Michigan…but Soldier Field!

The Bears have the city over a barrel right now…finally someone they can dominate!

Lion Bite

Who has the most expensive NFL offence heading into this season?
Nope-not them.
It’s the Detroit Lions. Wait, what?

Yep, the Detroit Lions have the highest pad roster this season, with a whopping $123m in salaries spread across the Goff.

Ranked by CBS sports as the ‘5th worst team in the NFL’, the Lions are ready to change their fate in 2023, by not becoming the worst team in the league (again).

No matter how much money they spend, they will never be the Jacksonville Jaguars.
And that’s a good thing.

London Games

We will be announcing some parties and social fun stuff planned for the next season in the next month.

If you’re a bar or pub in the UK looking to hist NFL parties and viewing events this season, make sure that you get in touch.

 

Bicentennial Men

by

200 episodes of the podcast? Holy crap Wade and Ryan talk a lot of nonsense about the NFL!

We want to thank all of our faithful listeners with our latest, 200th episode podcast called Bicentennial Men.

In this 200th episode, the boys rally their NFL gusto as the drone of the off season continues to stagnate our summer.

If you want to listen to the latest episode. Here it is! Make sure that you follow us on all the great podcast sites so that you don’t miss an episode.

Among some of the things the guys discuss in this episode includes:

Watson

Ching ching Deshaun, the numbers keep rising faster than any wins the Browns have achieved over the past decade.

Cleveland is dropping the steamer on Watson’s chest to hold him down for the season, but will fans protest, or will they even get to play with him this season?

It’s sad for everyone involved, we just want to see the guy go back to tossing INTs and throwing the whole AFC North into disrepair.

Commando Style

If any franchise was to receive a POS award, it would have to be the Washington Commanders.

From the creepy Dan Synder, to a stadium that floods poo, secretly recording cheerleaders, and a coach who thought the actions on Jan 6th was just good fun.
Commanders, we have a problem.

Jack Del Rio gets a slap down from Ron Rivera, but the problems remain in the capital.

Things seemed to go easier for the team when they were known as ‘Redskins.’

Buck the Broncos

“Attention NFL shoppers! The Walmart family is now an NFL owner, please head to aisle 4 for the blue light specials.”

Rob Walton (sounds so wholesome) has dipped his whistle into the NFL ownership, paying a whopping 4.65B for the Denver Broncos.
With the death of Paul Allen, that makes Walton the richest NFL owner by a long shot.

Of course the family is no stranger danger to NFL ownership, with Rob’s sister married to LA Rams own Stan Kroeneke.

The other owner in the new Broncos is Melody Hobson, who also happens to be married to the dark force of Hollywood-George Lucas.

So much for getting a black owner.

USFL

Have you been watching the USFL this season? No, us either.

It seems to be doing well ratings-wise, as the games are filling that bereft gap that happens during the early summer months.

With the final season happening this weekend, it looks like the Birmingham Stallions have the whole league wrapped up with undefeated play.

Of course it’s the USFL, so anything can happen. Like Donald Trump buying a team, then running it head on into the NFL out of spite.

Could happen.

Miami Dolphnuts

What a world it is in Miami, as all of the rumours about the Payton Super Team come out of the wood work.

If you hadn’t heard, the plan was for Sean Payton to lead the Dolphins, as Tom Brady switched to Miami to lead the fish to an AFC title, and another Superbowl for TB12.

Shit got real when former coach Brian Flores felt he was being told to use the ‘other fountain’ in a shameful display of racial bias towards the coach.

It all came tumbling down, but some of the rumours are holding water.

Brady confirms that this was the plan, but shucks-gee-golly, he always meant to be a Buc.

Maybe they’ll try again this year.

London Games

We have some exciting news to share with our UK fans for the upcoming year in the next month regarding NFL London experiences, and some fun stuff to happen for 2022.

Watch this space.

 

2022 Schedule

by

April is almost dead, so it’s time to bring on the NFL Draft!
Football is slowly creeping back!

Wade McElwain and Ryan Cull break down all the latest NFL news in our 2022 Schedule podcast, a compendium of all the top stories, arrests and stupid stuff going on during the off season.

Here’s a link to all the comedy NFL gold!

Among some of the top things that the guys talk about in this episode includes:

London Games

So we know who is coming to London this season (Jaguars, Packers, Saints) we just don’t know when.

Luckily, the US press gets whiffs of nuggets of gold, which is how we were able to figure out that the New Orleans Saints will most likely be hosting the Minnesota Vikings either week 4 or week 5 of the season.

As for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, their most likely opponent seems to be the Tennessee Titans on either side of the week of the Saints contest.
This game would also be played at Tottenham Hotspur stadium, giving London a full fortnight of Sunday games.

The NFL has announced that we will officially know the London games on May 4th at 11pm GMT. (hopefully we will let you know ahead of that.

Germany Game

Get your steins ready, as the NFL heads to Germany for the first time to kick off the 2022 season.

Thanks to some heavy thumbs at the US Consulate in Germany, we can glean that the full details of the game there.

According to reports, the game will feature Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosting Patrick Mahomes the Kansas City Chiefs in Munich, on Sunday November 13th.

While this Sunday falls on the German holiday of Repentance Day, it is assumed the folks at home will be okay with that.

An epic game in a country who has deserved this NFL honour for a long time.

Deebo Days

Deebo Samuel looks to be done in San Fran, after a tough year that saw him being used in an even tougher role.

The Niners were happy to slap old Deebo in on any speed-need role, even if it meant that the young man might have a shortened career from all the beatings he was taking.

Another wide receiver looking to get paid, in a league with empty pocketed teams looking for some accounting magic to stuff it all under the cap.

Good luck Deebo! You might just find yourself on the Jets!

Apple Bites

The long awaited rumours about the demise of Direct TV are upon us, as the US rights for the NFL package look to lapse after this season.

Like a Betamax player in a digital world, the satellite dish era demands of Direct TV has finally come of age.

With claims of complaints of being held hostage by the service, expensive billing, poor customer service, and the fact that no one uses dishes anymore, the old girl is just an anachronism in this world.

Apple is looking snap up the NFL package rights for over $2.5 billion, which sadly means that people might have to pay for Apple TV once again.

As much as everyone loves the Morning Show…and uh…what else do they have on their? Seinfeld? Teletubbies? More streaming!

Baked

Baker Mayfield can count this phase of his life as ‘bullying’ as he continues to get shit kicked in the press for his ineptitude.

The young man isn’t happy, wants to go, but no one wants to play with him-and to boot-his alma mater made an ugly statue of him to add insult to injury.

Let’s just let the kid play football again, then we can give him a rough time.

NFL Draft

Wade & Ryan will be releasing our NFL Draft Podcast this week, so make sure that you watch this space.

If you’re looking for a place to watch the 2022 NFL Draft, we are aware that the Empire Casino in Leicester Square will be showing it.

The Draft is due to start at 1am, with coverage starting in the UK from 11pm.
