The NFL is officially back baby, as we rock down the latest news in our Preseason Intro podcast.
Ryan is back from his vacay and fired up on his Josh Allen love, with high hopes and deep fears about his 2021 Buffalo Bills season.
Hard Knocks is back on HBO, wide receivers are bitching and getting into trouble, and Carson Wentz is injured again. Quelle surprise!
In this episode of the podcast, Wade & Ryan look at some of the latest drama popping up in the NFL, check in with our Hall of Fame game and entrants, lament on Michael Thomas, and give their take on the new taunting rules.
All this for free in an easy to listen to episode.
Hard Knocks
The dulcet tones of Liev Schrieber is back once again, as the voice over artist for the greatest NFL show in August.
It’s pretty much the only NFL show in August, but it’s HBO, so that makes it very entertaining.
The Dullus Cowboys are back on the Knocks once again, as we get to witness the dithering decision makings of Jerry Jones as he treds his way softly through a new world of woke.
All eyes will be on Dak to see if that horrendous injury of last season has any lingering effects, or has tempered that competitive spirit.
Zeke has been fed, and let out an almighty poo of transformation, hopefully that still makes him in a competitive league of ageing running backs.
It’s on NFL Gamepass, or HBO if you’re that lucky in the UK.
Table Mafia
Ryan is stoked on his Bills, and hoping that they all get the Freedom Jab of a winning season.
Josh Allen has just signed a whopping contract to keep him in western New York, and putting him in the ‘Mahomet-zone’ of premier paid slingers.
Will Joshy crush the AFC East, or lose the steam he built from the past few seasons.
All signs point to a solid Bills team, who will be ready for southwest Texas in 2025.
MT
Michael Thomas is back, and he wants to be traded!
Trying to capture the crown of ‘most annoying wide receiver’ of 2021, Thomas is off to a flash start, pissing off the team and any chance he has of fitting in with a new one.
After splashing out a whack of dough on MT, it is unlikely that the Saints will rid themselves of the pest, especially since their offence is pretty much a run and gun deep.
Without Drew Brees to smack him around with his mighty bling, Thomas requires someone to sit his ass down and show him the lack of rings on his fingers.
Winning an award on a Nickelodeon game against the Bears doesn’t look as good to a future team.
From Wentz it Came
Carson Wentz is inured again, and the preseason hasn’t even started.
Having put his ‘foot up someone’s ass’, Wentz is back on crutches, the finest pine he has ever rode.
It is no surprise (to anyone but the Colts) that his brittle return to battle would be fraught be breakage.
He is about as easy to keep healthy as a sunflower in a basement flat, and no matter what you do, you’re just going to get left with some rotten pulp.
Next time you get try to grow a sunflower, name it Carson Wentz and see how long you can keep it healthy.
Taunt This
The NFL has announced new taunting rules, only a few years after heralding the return of the end zone celebration.
It’s ok for a D line to ‘run a train’ on someone’s mama after a pick six, just don’t give a thumbs up to a guy after a bug catch.
It makes sense to nip this problem in the bud before it gets bigger.
The amount of times that players would taunt and flaunt each other after inconsequential yardage began to inflame game play, and lead to more sever incidents.
With a ‘two and out’ policy, the NFL looks to remove the narcissists and nogoodnicks and send a message to shut up and get back to the huddle.
Good call.
Gamepass
NFL Gamepass is back, and subscribers may have already felt the hit to their bank account.
For NFL fans in the UK, Gamepass is a MUST HAVE, and a far superior product it was in days of old.

Sky Sports NFL is fine if you want the weekly game and Redzone, Gamepass offers so much more for die hard fans of the game.
Best of all, you can host your own NFL parties with Gamepass. Watch your team when you want to.
