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?

Extended Quarantine Podcast

April 17, 2020 by nflinlondon

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.

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.
