What day is it? Why I am still in pajama pants? Can I have wine for breakfast?
We may not have the answers to these questions, but we can break down some of the big NFL news.

Wade McElwain & Ryan Cull gather together for a safe distance podcast to talk all things NFL.

They discuss the potential of the London games this year (none) as well as look at how corona is going to affect sports in general.

They also talk about some of the new uniforms unveiled by the Bucs and Falcons, as well as why the creamsicle uniforms were so gosh darn cool.

The NFL Draft is also up for discussion, as are some of the recent trades going down in the league.

How are you coping with lockdown? Are you planning on watching the NFL Draft?

Reach out to chat, stay safe, and stay sane.

Locked down & stir crazy? Looking for some good NFL banter? Then you came to the right place, as Wade & Ryan safe distance this housebound podcast.
What’s going on in the league? Will the London games happen? What will I do without football?
All these & more in this fun episode.

It’s a whole different world out there folks, so stay apart & stay safe. If you’re a Dolphins fan, pretend it’s a home game.

Wade & Ryan look at some of the big news in the NFL, and break down a few different topics, including:

London NFL Games

It doesn’t seem likely that these will go on given the current climate. Even if the season is shortened to 14 games, it is unlikely the NFLPA will want to bolt overseas. US games might be safe distanced, or played in different scenarios as well.

Kraft Dinner

Robert Kraft went to China, but not for the reasons you think. He sent the Patriots plane to pick up masks for Boston. What a guy! The masks will be carried by 200 nail salon workers.

Saints

Sean Payton is free and clear and talking nonsense. Holding your power meeting in a brewery? Brees will retire this year? Huh? You still got the fever son.

NFL Trades

Some big QBs on the market here, with Dalton, Winston, Carr & Newton all free game. Where do they end up to start this bizarre year? So many possibilities, so many options.

Subscribe, listen, share & feel free to get in touch. It’s tough out there.

The boys talk about the following over the next half hour

NFL & Corona

The NFL is fortunate to not have their season start until a few months, but what is in jeopardy? What will the Draft look like, and how will this affect the length of the season?

NFL London & Fans

Say the NFL does come back, will we need to sit 2m apart? How many London game will players want to travel for? Could they be cancelled completely?

NFL Offseason

Who are the big guys still on the block? Who wants a Jameis? Did the Brady trade shake up the whole kaboodle?

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.
