New Orleans Saints
Wild Weekend
And we move on in the NFL, as the wildcard is now behind us as the post season heats up.
Wade and Ryan are back with another great podcast, as they look at the Wild Weekend that lays behind us.
Have a listen, a laugh and a lather to our latest episode to see how it tickles your fancy.
Among some of the things that the guys discuss in this week’s podcast.
Big Bloated Ben
Ben Roethlisberger seems to have played his last game in the NFL, are swelling his way to his final post season game.
There’s no doubting the legacy of Big Ben, and the Super Bowls he chased and won. Sadly father time has other plans, and they involve keeping Tom Brady alive.
Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be in a world of hurt for the next few seasons if they can’t get a QB whose name isn’t ‘Rudolph’.
Fitzmagic
Fans seeing Ryan Fitzpatrick at the Bills game, shirtless in the frozen tundra all have a bunch of more respect for the dude.
Class act Fitzmagic has always played his heart out for every team he has been on, and has had a magical connection with the fans.
Knowing how loyal Bills fans are, they will probably build a statue to him, only to use the statue to launch themselves onto folding tables.
Card Carrying
The Arizona Cardinals were truly horrible heading into the post season game. They looked lost in the game, and Tyler Murray was suddenly shook by a 4 front that bugged and bothered him all day.
If wee Tyler can’t deal with these types of games and shone through, then maybe he should go back to baseball.
Arizona fell apart when it mattered, and there aren’t many signs to show that they wouldn’t do it again if given the chance.
Burrows
Joe Burrow is getting that swagger as Cincy puts together wins.
After a close call against the Raiders, the Bengals will look to take it to the Titans at home.
Fans have to admire the confidence of Burrow, as he takes his incomplete team to Nashville, for an exciting Saturday game.
Even if the Bengals get stuffed by the Titans, fans know that JB and the boys will be back next season to build on an already great foundation for this team to get more wins.
Meet Jason Bell
The Sports Bar & Grill Clapham will be hosting a Superbowl preview show with ex NFL player Jason Bell on Tuesday Feb 1st.
Initial tickets are £5, but those tickets are limited, and you will want to get them quick.
This is a great chance to ask Jason about the Superbowl, and any other NFL related questions that you might have for the former Texan and Giant.
Then event is being promoted by Budweiser UK, and Give Me Sport.
Get your tickets here!

Memes 18
And just like that, the 2021 NFL regular season is done and dusted.
What a crazy and wild ride this season has been! COVID, lies, injuries, COVID lies, and more injuries have led to a truly stellar season.
This was the first NFL season to add a Week 18, which has either tickled or infuriated fans.
Giddy fans are happy to have an extra week of football action, while purists are pissed that records will change, new legends will rise without merit.
One things that hasn’t changed, is our love of NFL memes. Those perfect combinations of picture, and text burn all in one lovely piece.
Here are some of our fave memes from Week 18, please enjoy them!

18 Candles
It’s finally the end of the NFL regular season, as we head into the playoffs.
There is particular reason to celebrate this year, as the league was able to overcome COVID, fake vax certificates, Aaron Rodgers, AB, and the addition of another week of regular season play to topple all the old records.
In honour of making it this far, we offer up our 18 Candles podcast, where Wade & Ryan celebrate this extra week of games, by making their picks and predictions for all the games.
Make sure you check out our podcast here, where you can listen to all of the guys predictions for the Week 18 games.
Among some of the games that the guys look at in this podcast includes:
-4 Packers (13-3) vs Lions (2-13-1) +44.5
The Packers have secured the top seed again, as they coast into the playoffs that have thwarted them for the past decade. With Aaron Rodgers and most of the starters expected to rest, this is a great chance for some of the backups to get some field time.
The Lions have had a woeful, yet inspired season thus far. Despite being the worst team in the league to start the season, the Lions have had some emotional games that have had fans applauding their resilience.
Wade & Ryan both think that this game will be close, although Wade has the plucky Lions winning the game off the inspired play of Jared Goff and the St. Brown.
Ryan likes the Packers to still win the game, but thinks that Detroit could keep it close.
Ryan- Packers 23 Lions 20
Wade- Lions 21 Packers 18
-15.5 Colts (9-7) vs Jaguars (2-14) +44
Indianapolis needs this win to keep them in the playoffs, as well as to upset much of the seedings heading into next week. Carson Wentz and the boys are ready to tumble these division rivals, and put the boot on their throat to move on.
Jacksonville is the worst team in the league…again. The Jags have played the Colts well though this year, keeping the games close despite the running phenom Taylor putting up some MVP like numbers.
Ryan thinks that the Colts will go out here, thrashing Jacksonville, and sending them limping home like Urban Meyer.
Wade points to the fact that the Colts tend to screw up big chances, and this is as big of a chance as any. He likes the Jags to keep it closer than expected.
Ryan- Colts 35 Jags 10
Wade- Colts 30 Jags 23
Bengals (10-6) vs -5.5 Browns (7-9) +38
How can the Browns be favoured in a game against their superior stat rivals?
One of the teams is going to the playoffs, and the other is going to play this game, and hope that they can figure it out in the offseason.
Joe Burrow and the Orange Cat gang can take it easy this week, as they throw out some of the back ups to try to get some field time against their Ohio foes. After an inspired win over the Chiefs last week, they have time to nurse their wounds and prepare for whomever they face on Wildcard Weekend.
Baker is done, Case is on it as the Browns shake and shimmy their line up for Week 18.
The Browns will likely rely on their running game, which has been effective and under used all season.
Ryan and Wade both like the Browns to get a more ‘needed win’ here, as many players might look to outshine their time under the Mayfield microscope.
Ryan- Browns 27 Bengals 10
Wade- Browns 24 Bengals 16
