2020 Draft Review

by

Well that’s a new way of drafting. How about that 2020 NFL Draft?
The world has certainly changed, & the NFL adapted and overcame with one heck of a draft, with a massive audience and a very entertaining Roger Goodell.

Wade & Ryan come together for a safe-distanced podcast to discuss all of the NFL Draft thoughts, as well as looking at some of the top stories in the NFL.
They also look at the other big news in the NFL UK at the moment, including:

NFL 2020 London Games

Who are we kidding? These games aren’t going to happen, and it’s only a matter of time that this will be officially announced. While the NFL is aiming for a 17 game season, it reckons that London will only be a troublesome problem to include in the new world of NFL.
Will the NFL come back to Europe after this whole Corona experience?
Sports viewing will never be the same.

Aaron Rogers

And the Packers select…Jordan Love. Aaron spills his drink, smashes the TV, and calls his agent. What will happen in Green Bay now that they grabbed the young Utah stud? Fast, big arm, and ready for a chance. If Rodgers gets hurt again this season, Love could quickly jump up to number one, as Aaron would look to other NFL pastures.

Denver Broncos

They are really loading up the WRs and RBs in Denver, but will Drew Lock be the answer? The Broncos stuffed a lot of tough teams last year, but could never really find their groove. What will it take to put it all together?

XFL is Dead

by

Ding Dong the McMahon dream is dead.
Corona has claimed another sports victim, and this time it was the XFL.

The XFL was thought to be a much bigger and improved version of the AAF and was actually starting to see some uptick in viewership and fanbase, but like any sport in this new world, the weight was too much.

There was quite a bit of pomp and ceremony as the league was announced, and the TV rating rivalled that of NBA games. Like any sport in the first year, you are defined by how the season is reflected upon, and this was just a brutal end to a ceremonial start.

Much like Vince McMahon himself, the game was loud, brash, and admired by middle class America.
With shots of fans using beer luges with their cups, or the viscera trash-talking on the field, and scantily clad cheerleaders drew fans in after an exciting NFL season.

As corona spread across the USA, it was too risky to keep showing the games, and eventually chapter 11 caught up with the the league. It is dead, done and dusted.
Not even The Undertaker is willing to be associated with it now.

Vince and his family were able to convince Florida legislators that the WWE was an ‘essential service’, you wonder if her tried that with Trump as well.

Farewell XFL, we barely knew you.

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

Ricky Williams Contract

by

Ricky Williams is an iconic NFL player.
With 12 years in the League under his belt, plus a spell in the CFL and a Heisman Trophy to back him up, you would think that Ricky had it all.
But remember that famous contract that screwed him royally?

If you don’t, this video breaks it down nicely.

Essentially, Ricky decided that he wanted the big Saints cash up front, with the rest being driven by bonus incentives.
This would allow Ricky to ‘cash in’, and make the big jingles the more he scored.
But the contract wasn’t that fair, & Ricky would soon find himself having to deal with the ‘man’ as well as returning much of that cash.

Ricky got screwed royally by the NFL, especially when he started getting into weed. The NFL is notoriously anti-weed, so he put a target on his own head as soon as he did it.

An interesting video nonetheless. They need to bring him back in a commentator capacity.

Ryans Picks

by

Our man Ryan Cull is still smarting from his Bills being eliminated last weekend.
Will the sting of neglect still carry forward with him this weekend?
Time will tell, but more importantly his picks will.

We have included Ryans picks against the spread so that you can make your own picks based on Ryan’s expert NFL knowledge.
Will you take his advice?

Vikings vs -7 49ers

Ryan isn’t totally sold that the 49ers can put up the big boy points versus the Vikings. Minnesota has dusted off the ice and seems to be playing competitive football.
Ryan thinks that the 49ers will win, but that they won’t cover the full spread.
49ers 24 Vikings 21

Titans vs -9.5 Ravens

The Titans continue to impress as they knock off some of the top teams in the league, but can they knock off the top team? Ryan says ‘no’, but he does believe that this game will be closer than most think. He also picks Derek Henry to have a stellar game in the face of the D.
Ravens 30 Titans 23

Texans vs -9.5 Chiefs

The Texans are a team that Ryan hates right now. After dusting his Bills in the second half last week, he is looking for redemption in the form of a Chiefs beating. He thinks this will happen, with Kansas City easily covering the spread.
Chiefs 30 Texans 17

Seahawks vs -4 Packers

Ryan isn’t totally sold on the Packers either. Who have they beaten really, and have they done it impressively, or in need. The Seahawks are growing in confidence, but will too many injuries stop this party before it starts? Ryan wanted to take the Seahawks but just couldn’t do it. He does like them to cover though.
Packers 27 Seahawks 24

Make sure you check out our BetRegal offer to get going on you betting this weekend.

We also have some DraftKings contests on, and grab some gear from Fanatics! You might need some hats and jerseys for the playoffs.

See you this weekend at Long Acre in Covent Garden.
