Podcast-The New NFL

July 3, 2020 by nflinlondon

The NFL is coming back, but it certainly isn’t going to look like it did in the past.
Players getting temperature checks between plays, cardboard cutouts of fans with EA Sports fan noise pumped into an empty stadium.
Buffalo will fare even worse, as no fans will be thrown through tailgate tables, and a dildo-less field for Patriots games. Zero dildos.
Are you happy Covid-19?

In this safe distanced podcast, Wade and Ryan look at some of the top NFL news in this sports bereft landscape.
If tumble weeds were to somehow start rolling across our plains, these guys would bet on them

Among some of the other NFL news to discuss:

NFL Preseason

We all know how much we love preseason games! Players you have never heard of trying to make that crack at the final roster, while named players try to get their shit together after a fat summer.
The league has reduced the preseason to 2 weeks, but that could be zero weeks if the NFLPA has anything to say about it.

Johnny Manziel

Johnny Manziel has finally left the field. JM has publicly posted what all of us have known for years, Johnny Football is no more. Don’t shed a tear for him yet, he still has big plans.
Let’s not forget that he was BANNED from the CFL. How much of a douche can you be if even Canadian football has to ban you. We still don’t know what it was for exactly, but it has to be nasty.

Ocho is a Nice Guy

He’s got a big mouth, and even bigger heart. Chad Ocho Johnson has been giving away his own cash to people in need. He’s promised to give $245k away, and has so far delivered over $150k to fans across the states. While he may never play in the NFL again, this guy needs to be rewarded someone how being an awesome human. Give him a chance at game pundit.

Redskins

It’s that time again. What are we going to do about Washington? Loads of sponsors & investors have had enough of a BLM movement that has seen them seemingly ignore the plights of protestors.
Will Snyder and co. finally give in to the public and change their Skin? If there was any time to do it, now might be a good one.

Cam Newton

The old man has a job, which is something you wouldn’t think to hear in this climate.
Cam is with the Patriots and everyone seems to have lost their rag. He hasn’t played in a while and was plagued by injuries and weekly beatings by opposing defences, so it will be intriguing to see what he can bring to the table. A title seems too lofty.

Enjoy the podcast. Have a listen and a laugh, and reach out for anything.

Stay safe.

100th Podcast

May 11, 2020 by nflinlondon

100 episodes? Wowza! Wade & Ryan want to thank all of you for listening, being a part of this legacy, responding, as well as to our previous guests including Callum Squires, Chapman Maddox, Andrei Sere, & many more.
It’s a pleasure to be able to share our NFL bs with you, and appreciate you listening to our malarky as we endure these changing NFL times.
And the times are a changing.

So corona huh? That’s going to mess up the 2020 NFL season.
How bad will it be? No one knows, but the games for fans in stadium & pubs is forever changed.
Us NFL fans are going to have to find a new way forward.

The guys also jump on to the following topics:

PGA & NFL Stars

Brady & Tiger vs Manning & Mickelson. Anyone excited for this epic match? Sure, it’s not NFL-but these 4 dudes trash talking is going to be a magically experience for fans. We will have some betting odds coming out as the game approaches, but make no doubt about it, Manning is a far superior golfer here.

Gurley Gets Paid

Gotta love Todd Gurley. He gets dumped then wants his ex to give him back his shit. The Rams owe Gurley 5 million and he wants that right now. He has given them until June 1st, and he is going to force their hand on social media. Will it work? Loads of other athletes haven’t been paid in ages, so it will be interesting to see who supports him.

MNF

Booger is picked, then flicked against the wall to dry as we all sleep. Joe is joining him. We in the UK never really got to experience the full insight of Booger due to time delays, but maybe we can be thankful. What happens to a fired NFL talk-mouth who will struggle to get a stateside job? Look for him on Sky in 2020.

NFL Schedule

The schedule is out, and the AFC East looks like a tough playground to jump in. All the teams have to not only beat the crap out of each other, but also some of the top AFC teams. Wade & Ryan break down the big scheduled games, and look at the key dates to watch.

Make sure you stay safe, stay clean, & keep listening.

NFL Draft Podcast

April 23, 2020 by nflinlondon

Tonight is the night of all nights.
Are you ready for the NFL draft?

Wade & Ryan break down all of the NFL news, look at some of the big trades, as well as look at some of the NFL Draft potential.
Granted, we haven’t paid as much attention to the NCAA, but we do have some thoughts on who, where, why & how.

We also pay tribute to our family who have lost. Our buddy Kevin McManus lost his father Pat tragically to Covoid-19 as a hero on the frontline.
We love you buddy, your family, and we are all thinking of you in this time.

To all of our other NFL in London family who have lost or are struggling, we are with you.
Please feel free to reach out to us to chat, or just vent.
We are all in this together.

Have a listen to our podcast prior to the draft.
Enjoy, and stay safe

What the Gronk?

April 22, 2020 by nflinlondon

As if the world wasn’t crazy enough with a virus, it seems that the Patriots are bleeding sick with talent.
First Brady bolts to the sunshine, then Gronk unretires and demands a trade to the Bucs.
What a time in Boston.
Patriots fans are in double shock and the rest of the NFL fans have a reason to smile through their facemasks.

It’s as sensational as Gronk itself, and the WWE contract ramifications make it interesting. Rob hasn’t played a full season for 9 years of healthiness, so it begs to see how much they will punish him.
How will he be able to be full Gronk in a season, if there is new season and how long it lasts.

The combination of the two will be enough to blow jersey sales and ticket sales out of the park, if there is indeed a way to watch the NFL in the new normal.
Fans will be captivated to see how the old gang can get together with some vicious speedsters, and a defence that was fast and furious.
Bruce Arians must be a very happy man right now.

The world will be watching Tampa next season, which must be nice for the Browns to not have the focus on them this season. Baker ain’t no TB12 though, so this will be an exciting division to watch.

So would you take Gronk as your first overall as a TE in fantasy next year? What about TB12?

NFL in Coronaville

April 10, 2020 by nflinlondon

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 Podcast

April 2, 2020 by nflinlondon

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.

Corona Lockdown

March 20, 2020 by nflinlondon

We’re in lockdown, but the NFL offseason has kept us entertained with some truly magical changes.

Tom Brady is a Buc now? Really? He is the oldest guy in the league, so it does make sense to retire in Florida. Hike up those pants grandpa, it’s a whole new season.

Wade & Ryan are back, & thanks to the magic of baby wipes & a spit wiped microphone they are ready to talk NFL.

The guys break down some of the biggest moves in the NFL, and how they will impact the league going forward. That is..if there is a league.

Let’s not get too ahead of ourselves. Practice safe distance, listen to the pros & be vigilant. That goes for Corona & the NFL.

We will have more podcasts ahead, so stay tuned and please reach out if you want to chat as well. We are always looking for writers, so send us your stuff.

To keep your love alive, we are sharing some very lovely cards for you to give to your besotted.
Find the card that reflects your team, your player, or just the way you feel about them.

Go on, share the love. Then watch some XFL and get hot and heavy.

Enjoy lovers!

Brady Bowl

February 14, 2020 by nflinlondon

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.
