Season Review

by

He’s baaaaccck! Ryan Cull has returned from Canada and ready to dish some NFL news with Wade.
The boys didn’t watch the SuperBowl together, so they sit down & discuss the game and how different it is to watch it between the UK and Canada.
They also talk about chicken wings..a lot!

Aside from the big game, the guys talk about how the 2019/2020 season went down, and all the changes going forward.

They also talk about the potential match-ups for the 2020 London games, now that Miami has been confirmed as a London host city in the fall. Who else could be coming, and when will they be here? The boys have their speculations.

Wade & Ryan also dive into the Tom Brady free agency predictions. Will TB12 move somewhere else, or is he just yanking the chains of the Pats.

Other free agents are also bantered around, including Teddy Bridgewater, Andy Dalton and Phillip Rivers. Where do these guys end up?

Listen to the podcast, and share it with your friends. After all, a podcast is one of the few things you can share with your friends these days that doesn’t require a mask.

Enjoy

 

SuperBowl Review Podcast

by

The SuperBowl is done and dusted, congratulations to the Chiefs, Kansas City, the state of Missouri, and of course Patrick Mahomes. They defeated the 49ers in epic style, and made for one of the more entertaining SuperBowl’s in the Tom Brady era.

Our podcast is back after a wee break from everything NFL. Wade is joined by our very own Brit Callum Squires as we jump back into all things NFL.

In this episode the guys talk about all of the big issues in the NFL at the moment, including:

SuperBowl 54. What happened in the game, what were the refs doing, and what a machine Patrick Mahomes is.

Tom Brady. What’s up with this dick-tease? Is he really going to leave bean town, or is he just testing the waters to see what the Pats will do?

Drew Brees. Db is back with the Saints for another year. What does the team need to do to excel at the next level.

Taysom Hill. If Drew is back, what about Taysom? Should be looking at a starting role somewhere else, or should be a happy back-up?

Phillip Rivers- 9 kids and fired from his job. Where’s a good River to flow?

Myles Garrett. He’s back, and immediately calling ‘racism’ again. Is this going to hurt the team?

Please make sure you listen, like, share and love this podcast.

Our thoughts go out to our buddy Ryan Cull, who is back in Canada taking care of family business. Can’t wait to have you back bro. You are missed.

Brady Bowl

by

Tom Brady is a hot piece of ass this offseason, as teams try to gauge whether the GOAT is going to stay the course in Beantown, or head for greener, richer pastures.
Brady turns 93 this year, so will he still be too old to compete against a new league of speed and youth?
Probably.

Tommy Boy has showed signs of ageing as of late, but one wonders if that is truly down to age, or an anemic offensive unit, or just plain old Billy Belichick.
What has trill been on display is Tom’s fierce competitive spirit, that’s something that you can’t replicate. Every week, Tom comes to play with a fierce intensity, and he is still one of the few you fear when he has the ball with 2 minutes left on the clock.
So IF Tom Brady decides to leave, where will he go?
Let’s look at the obvious choices.

Patriots (-250)

Is Tom being a dick tease? ‘Cause it sure looks like he is gussying up his bussom to look attractive and make New England jelly.
The odds are stacked that Brady will return to New England after they come to their senses and back up that money truck.
Brady is a classy guy, and has displayed this throughout his career, allowing others to earn while he took less. He has brought the city of Boston 6 SuperBowl rings, and developed into an icon.
So why would they want to let that go?
Remember that hometown booing at Tommy this season after losing a game, many fans were quick to interject ‘what they hell are you doing? You have nothing to boo over!’
Robert Kraft needs to rub his wallet and tug out some cash, so that Brady gets his own happy ending.
He will most likely be returning to Foxboro in 2020.

Las Vegas Raiders (+300)

What happens in Vegas, will most likely suck. Gruden was able to turn some of the team around last year, but they seemed to be stuck in freefall after the AB debacle shook the whole team.
BowlCut Davis and the rest of his organisation have left on their odyssey through the desert, but will it be all sunshine and sand dunes?
Historically, any team that moves to Vegas has a rough ride. The NHL Golden Knights captured the hearts of the city, but as soon as they started to suck the following year, attendance was back down again.
Brady would be a feather in their cap, but a big plume to catch he would be.
While Las Vegas might have the funds and draft picks to be able to finagle a deal to land TB12, it would mean leveraging their future for one potential shot at it.
Would you want to risk all of that to get 10 years of an empty stadium?
Highly doubtful.

LA Chargers (+400)

Phillip Rivers and family have left LA, changing the population of the city, and the future of the Chargers.
Chargers fans have been pretty screwed over since they left San Diego, and the team and the league have down very little to heal the massive rift that developed in the process.
The city of LA has adopted the Chargers like they were a ginger stepchild with coronavirus, so there isn’t a lot of love there to begin with.
The Chargers need a win, in more ways than one-but replacing an ageing QB with an even older QB is not a step in the right direction.
LAC might be looking at making some bold moves this year, but that will probably involve gutting the team, drafting young, and putting some new faces into the mix.
TB12 will not be one of them.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+700)

Jameis Winston finally got his eyes fixed, but will that have an affect on his 2020 season? Hopefully.
Will they look to replace JW with TB?
Doubtful.
Tampa is a huge step backwards for Tom, the team has some speedy assets, but would he be willing to drop to a lower tier team with attendance issues?
Even if Tom were to come over to the Bucs, they are still a few seasons away from challenging for the title.
The D needs help, their running game needs to be tightened, and their offence needs a new identity.
Tom would not want to step into that mess, even with Brucey running the team around him.
Jameis will be back in 2020.

Here are some of the other teams in the mix for Tom Brady, although these ones are even further afield.

Colts (+900)

Andrew is out of Luck and Jacoby doesn’t give off starter vibes. They have space to chase Tom, but they wouldn’t be willing to risk it all for a man of his age.

Browns (+1200)

Oh Cleveland you delicious mess! What will you do to implode your season this year. Baker was ok, but the team as a whole was an ego of disappointment. No way that Tom wants to sum on that hornets nest of idiocy.

Saints (+1400)

Ditch Brees for Brady? No way Jose. While it is nice to have him in the mix, there is no way that the Saints move on from DB. They will give him everything for another shot at it.

Bears (+1600)

Now this one is interesting. Trubisky has crapped the bed so much, they don’t even bother to change the sheets anymore. Would the team be willing to go after Tom to give the rest of the team a shot? Mitch certainly wasted a few games last season, but they may not want to spend a fortune to finish below the Packers again this year.
Nice to think about, but no

So our consensus on this is…Brady stays with the Patriots.
They kiss, they make up, they inflate each other a bit, slap each other on the butts, then head to the strip mall for some ‘Kraft Dinner.’

It looks to be a great season ahead.

SuperBowl London

by

What are you doing for the SuperBowl? Big plans in the big smoke?
Why not join us at one of the few parties we are throwing across the city?

SuperBowl is always a fun, but tough time in London. Hardly any places ever show the NFL due to time restrictions, and when they do, it is very British, and not very fun.
Pork sausages instead of hot dogs, nachos made from Doritos and no cheese, chicken wings the size of squirrel legs, and sweet popcorn…seriously?

Well that won’t be happening at any of our NFL parties on Sunday, so why not check them out?

Long Acre-Covent Garden

The Long Acre is right smack dab in the middle of London. With 4 big screens, loads of beer and great wings, the venue is perfectly suited for your Super Duper Bowl.
The game might kickoff at 11:30pm, but we will be rocking ahead of time with a fun SuperBowl Quiz kicking off at 9pm.
There will be great prizes thanks to BetRegal, so make sure you sign up your team.
Getting home should be easy, as you are in central London.
Tickets are £10 each, and include a BetRegal golf shirt (while supplies last).
Get your tickets here.
