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?

What the Gronk?

by

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?

Extended Quarantine Podcast

by

The world is in need, and only the NFL can save us.
Ok, a bit dramatic-but that’s how many of us sports fans feel during this bereft period of no sport.

Wade & Ryan safe distance this podcast as they talk about all things corona & NFL.
They break down loads of stories, forecasts, projections, and generally just talk crap for a half-hour. (good crap though).

Some of the stories the guys touch on in this episode:

XFL is Dead

We hardly knew ye. Despite a healthy looking start, the XFL is a now dead league as the creditors circle the McMahon family home. Several suitors are thought to want to buy the league, but is it too late? If the WWE is considered an ‘essential service’, surely the XFL could have tried to claim that too?

San Fran is Lucky

A leading scientist claimed that if the 49ers had won the SuperBowl, then there might have been a huge corona spike in the area due to the parades and gatherings. Kansas City doesn’t have a massive outbreak, so not sure the logic here.

The Browns

A new uniform, and maybe a new attitude? How are the Browns going to overcome a hyped up season that fell apart quicker than a pair of underwear you have been wearing since the virus began. What do they need to do to make their team successful?

Gronk

Gronk smash. Gronk win belt. Gronk like CBD. What about the rumours he would suckle up to TB12 again in Tampa for a repeat of their Boston success? Gronk is doing fine, everyone wants to be like him,

NFL Win Projections

The folks at William Hill have made their predictions for NFL wins next year, and some of the results might surprise you. The guys look at all of the predictions and see how realistic they are.

We will be doing some more content on the draft throughout the week, listen laugh subscribe.
Stay safe, sane and keep the faith for the 2020 season.

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 in Coronaville

by

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?
