56 Review

by

Congrats to the Super Bowl winning LA Rams for holding out for the big win at home to win Super Bowl 56.

The Bengals came close, Eli Apple got burnt, OBJ got hurt, the commercials suck, and the whole world has gone crypto in our 56 Review podcast.

Wade and Ryan break it all down in this podcast, as it has become evident that their love of the NFL will take a hit over the next 6 months, as the game hits its off season slumber for the next 6 months.

Here’s the podcast you filthy animals.

Among some of the other things that the guys talk to in this episode includes:

TB12

Adam Shefter might have ruined the news, or even inspired Tom Brady to come back for another shot at the title with a different team.
The rumour mill is churning that SoCal boy Tommy wants to end his career playing for his childhood idols, the San Francisco 49ers.
With Jimmy G riding off to the sunset, the Niners are holding out for Trey Lance to hold the keys to their future.
Will San Fran invest in the diminutive Lance, or will they crack open the wallet to welcome TB12 back to Cali?
When it comes to Tom Brady, nobody knows what to expect.

Jackson Mahomes

Was he banned from attending games? Was he caught doing cocaine at a concert? Does he actually do anything?

Jackson Mahomes was in the news again, like a stunted Kardashian.

Patrick’s little brother (and fiancee) have denied that they are being banned from attending future games, but it would really help us all if they were.

Can you still send someone to the ‘Russian Front’?

A-Aron

You can’t mention Tommy without throwing a bone to Aaron Rodgers.
Despite his desire for a ‘Last Dance’, Rodgers was once again interrupted in his journey for trophy glory, by those pesky Niners.
Add to this a separation from his fiancee (he really hates rings), and a world of wonder emerges as to what they fate of Aaron will be in 2022.
The Packers have no money, and will most likely leverage their foreseeable future trying to chase a title like the Rams did.
Will Aaron stay in Lambeau, or will he test the waters in Denver, Pittsburgh, or beyond?
Wherever he goes, just know he’s smarter than you.

Crypto Crazy

Watching the Super Bowl ads, one would think that crypto runs the world, or at least is in the pockets of every major actor.
Big celebs hocking digital currency after a pandemic shows us just how broke ass some famous people must be.
Looking at you Larry David…

Flores

Brian Flores blew up the league when he pointed out the obvious and ignored signs of racism in the league.
Despite everyone thinking that Flores would never coach again, the Steelers did a turn and hired him as the defensive co-ordinator.
The lawsuit against the league still goes ahead, but well done on Pittsburgh for taking a chance on a guy who definitely deserves a job in the league.

London Games

We have NFL games in London scheduled for 2022! Hooray all around.
While we don’t know the exact dates, and teams that will be popping over the pond, we do have a better idea of who will be coming over to entertain English crowds.
One NFL game is confirmed in Munich, as the rumour mill is churning out that the game could be a contest between the New England Patriots, and the Chicago Bears.
Watch this space for more news on the NFL in Germany.
As for the London games, we know that there will be two games at Tottenham, and another at Wembley.
The Wembley game will feature the Jacksonville Jaguars, and a yet to be named NFC team.
The New Orleans Saints have also tipped their hand that they will also be popping over to Blighty this season, using their London visit to oblige the league, and satisfy that they don’t need to return for at least 8 years.
Who will the other teams be? We will make our guesses throughout the season.

Super Thanks

Just wanted to thank everyone who came out to our fantastic Super Bowl parties on Sunday.
Everything was full and fun, and good times were reported by all.
We look forward to promoting more great games for you in 2022!

Lost Highway

by

What another odd week it was on Sunday as the league continued to balance itself in an enjoyable, yet unpredictable preview of the post season.

Wade and Ryan look back at the big Week 10 news in our Lost Highway podcast, aptly named because it feels kind of directionless in terms of an outright driver in this 2021 season.

Buc’d Again

TB12 and the boys ate another W in week 10, as their curse at the hands of the Washington Football Team held true.
Instead of having some sort of email dirt on Tommy, they must have resorted to witchcraft, as Tampa was stung by the football team.
Tommy should have been real angry after a loss heading into a bye, but they almost look over-focused in this double digit beatdown at the hands on Heinicke.

Lion Ties

Dan Patrick can hit the decaf this week, as Detroit was able to eek out a tie despite being handed the game by Pittsburgh.
It was a brutal game to watch in all directions, and luckily overtime made the time go bye between the two sets of game matches.
Lions still suck, so do the Steelers.

Dead Birds

Thanksgiving is coming, and the Falcons were the first sacrifice as the Cowboys roasted the birds at home in an easy Sunday game.
Dak and the boys blow out the candles on Matty Ice, in a fresh comeback after being slapped by the Broncos a week earlier.
Ryan ate a bag of dirty dicks after going back to his Falcons fix, and it bit him once again.
Once a junkie.

Vikes!

What’s going on Minnesota? No, really.
The Vikings upset a sparkless Chargers squad who seem to have lost the adapter to their outlet of output.
Kirk Cousins continues to look better than he is, as Cook cooked, and the wide receivers were able to pick up the slack.

If you want to join us every Sunday, make sure than you pop by the Sports Bar and Grill Old Street or Clapham where we watch all the NFL games every Sunday.

 

Week 6 Review

by

The final London NFL game is done and dusted, as we big a fond farewell to week 6 in the NFL.

It was an epic matchup between the Dolphins and Jaguars at Tottenham on Sunday, with Urban Meyer able to slow grind out a ‘W’ to save his job.

Ryan Cull is off to Canada, as Wade is joined by our pal Callum Squires, in this Week 6 Review Podcast.

Among some of the things that the guys chat about in this podcast includes;

London Games

Callum breaks down what the atmosphere was like at Tottenham Stadium, and what it felt like to watch his Dolphins collapse against the feeble Jags.
He also talks beer snakes, the rain of plastic cups, and what it’s like to party around Tottenham stadium.
Did you go to the game? How was your experience?

Chief Concern

Kansas City was able to eek out a win against the struggling Washington FT over the weekend, but there are still major concerns over their team, and in particular their D.
Patrick Mahomes was able to sneak out a win, but Kansas City did not look pretty in doing so. This team is going to struggle when they face some of the better teams in the league.

Viking Fun-eral

What’s going on in Minnesota?
You can’t trust the team to win, and you can’t trust the team to lose!
The Vikings are inconsistent this season, with teams either getting trampled by Dalvin Cook, or ripping holes through their porous secondary.
Minnesota has the squad and the ability to cause some havoc amongst the Packers, it’s just a matter of whether or not they can get their act together.

‘Dem Boyz

Dallas continues to punish teams they face with a relentless attack, and a D that swoops and scoops like a seagull.
The Cowboys continue to push up big points each week, while allowing their defence to swarm opposing QBs as well as create disruptions and picks a plenty.
The real concern here is that former Patriots fans are now emerging from the bushes as Cowboys fans. God help us all.

Packing it Up

Aaron Rodgers continues his cheese head farewell tour by pissing off fans around the league.
With his departure from Lambeau now a mere formality, Aaron is having fun playing the game again, despite not having the same Packers team(s) he has had in the past.
Green Bay was only able to put the game out of reach against the Bears in the last 7 minutes of play, which doesn’t bode well for upcoming Green Bay games against far superior squads.

Sport Bar and Grill

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Sports Bar and Grill Clapham and Old Street last week for an amazing night of NFL games.
The place was rocking until 4am, as fans sunk into buckets of wings, towers of beer, and comradery of meeting new friends.
The Sports Bar and Grill Old Street is open until 12:30am every Sunday (monday), so make sure that you book ahead to get a great spot for all the games.
We will be back with Callum and another podcast this week, as we look ahead to all of the exciting Week 7 games.

Free Agent Fiesta

by

Dak signs a massive Dallas contract, Tom Brady rejigs his contract to give more money to the team, and Drew Brees finally retires.
The 2021 NFL season is about to begin, so it’s time for a Free Agents Fiesta podcast!

This week, Wade & Ryan look at some of the top news in the league, as well as offering some insight into where they think some of the biggest players in the league might end up.
So many players available, and so many teams with gaping holes in their teams.

Just think, a year ago we had NO IDEA that Tom Brady would sign with the Bucs, bring in Gronk, then march his way to winning a Super Bowl. But then here we are.
What are some of the other big signings this offseason that could resonate to the start of the new NFL season?
Let’s have a look, shall we?

Cam Newton

After a tough season with the Patriots, Cam is back! And Boston is feeling it!
Cam Newton finished last year ranked 22nd amongst active quarterbacks, and only had 8 passing touchdowns.
Without the Pats, Cam would be looking for backup work this season, as his inaugural start with New England was less than stellar.
Luckily for him, Bill Belichick is cashing in his faith chips with Cam, and will most likely reward him with…a backup role.
The Patriots will be looking to either draft or trade for a QB this season, and having the 3rd highest amount of Cap Space would hurt either.
Ready to ride the pines Cam?

Chiefs

Kansas City has been struggling with cap space all year, and it all had to come to a close when the Chiefs released Mitchell Schwartz and Eric Fisher.
Fisher famously ruined himself prior to the Superbowl, so it’s not a massive loss for the team.
The Chiefs will need to find some guys to block for Mahomes lest he go the way of Joe Burrow this season.
The road ahead gets a lot tougher when you’re pinching pennies.

Bear Necessities

What a pickle the Bears find themselves in. With two less than average QBs on the roster, an expensive defence, and a wicked wide receiver who doesn’t want a tag. What’s a team to do?
Knowing the Bears, they will probably mess it up-giving away too much for too little, and getting nothing in return.
Chicago will need to be patient in the post season, let every other team scramble for what they think are the best/last players, then move in for an inexpensive & smart move.
Stop bum rushing the plays, and let them come to you.

Cap Space

Covid totally crushed the cap space for this season, so teams are going to have to get innovative if they want to stretch their dollars.
Jacksonville once again is Mr. Moneybags, with a luscious $73.6 million to spend on fancy pants players.
Interesting the next two teams on the list the NY Jets and New England Patriots. With both teams boasting just under $70 million in space, they should be able to target some of the top talent to broaden their squads.
But does anyone want to come to New England anymore?

London NFL Games

The good news is that the UK should have crossed the threshold of vaccinations by the end of the summer, allowing life to get back to normal. Hooray!
The bad news is that we won’t be able to let anyone in for a year or so.
While the world battles covid, new variants, and the logistics of vaccination passports, the real question is ‘will anyone be able to enter the UK’?
Sadly thus far it looks like the answer is ‘computer says no.’
Jaguars coach Urban Meyer is confident that they will play at least 1 regular season game here this year.
Hopefully we will all know more soon.

Have a listen to the latest podcast. Then rinse, repeat and listen again.

Divisional Preview

by

The wet and wacky NFL Wildcard weekend is now behind us, as we head into the final stretch with our Divisional Preview podcast.
Very few people correctly predicted the winners last weekend thanks to the plucky play of the Rams, and the vroom vroom of the Browns ‘Corvette.’
Wade & Ryan both chose the Steelers to topple the Browns (as did many) thus screwing their perfect playoff pools.

In this podcast the guys reflect on the all of the scores from the Wild-Wildcard Weekend that was for the first week of January 2021 in the NFL. The go through all of the scores, as well as lament some of the bonehead plays that got us there.
Wade spends a bit of time bitching about his Bears, and how close they kept it, although never within the reach of noodle-arm Trubisky.

Among some of the other news the boys discuss in this podcast includes:

Deshaun Watson

DW wants out of Houston, and who can blame him. Despite being the leader of the franchise, at times the organisation treats him like a ginger step-kid who abused the family dog. There is an utter lack of respect for a club that was going to do everything in their power to support him. Now that Deshaun wants to leave the Texans, loads of other teams are lining up to sign up to his services. Is it too late for the Texans to keep him happy, or will he be on his way?

Nagy & Pace

The Bears have brought back their GM and HC for another bash at the NFC North. It was felt that although the Bears did slip into 6 straight losses, the way that these guys recovered was enough to show that they have the skills to manage the team in the future. Tell that to thousands of angry residents of Chicago.

Dead Doug

Doug Pederson is dead. Not literally, just to Philly fans. Turns out his little exercise at trying out his backups during the last game of the season might not have been so wise after all. Doug is out, and you wonder who the heck wants the Philly coaching job? You have to eat Carson’s bloated contract and live up to the hype of a Super Bowl win within a decades reach.

Divisional Games

LA Rams vs Packers
Packers -7  +45.5

It’s Aaron vs Aaron as the boys can talk about how much they were teased as children with an ambiguous name. Kidding aside, this will be a good ole snow fight, as the Packers look to feast on LA after a relaxing bye week off.
How did LA get here? No…really. The Rams beat a hyped up Seahawks team with no QB. Sure, Goff was there, but he wasn’t that effective, although he was more so than Russell Wilson. LA was able to use their superior defence and big brain of Sean McVay to keep them in the game. Doing this against the Packers is another matter.
There are a few teams that have the players to be able to knock the Packers out of the playoffs. Watching the Bucs lay a beating on GB earlier this season showed exactly what needs to be done to keep Rodgers on the sideline. Keeping pressure on him, and shutting down Adams will be key.
Wade & Ryan both like this as an exciting start to the weekend, but sadly this one is going to be pretty predictable. With no real QB, the Rams will continue to struggle on first downs. If the Rams start to really fall behind, Goff will be chucking balls into heavy coverage that leads to picks.
Ryan- Packers 30 Rams 24
Wade- Packers 26 Rams 18

If you want the rest of our scores and predictions, have a laugh and a listen to the podcast. We want to thank all of you for listening, and keeping the podcast a moving up the charts.
Good luck to everyone this weekend, and we look forward when we can all get together soon.
