Objectively Wrong: Recent Episodes
Next Men Up
Next Men Up presents a new podcast, hosted by two guys on the internet. We'll talk sports weekly, crack jokes, and make increasingly worst shot-takes.
It is the most unpredictable of times in the NFL, where the lack of useful preseason games gives us some of the sloppiest and harrowing football of the year.
Season Greetings!!! As we kick into gear we hit you with a full season prediction and a general vibe check on the teams angling for a playoff run. In a stacked AFC which teams fall just short of a playoff campaign.
We're back from the everlasting offseason just in time for Jim Irsay to pick an Orca over his own star RB. Should you pay RBs? Everyone has seen the evidence, but the truth gets murky when it's your own team.
Well guys we went hard this draft day and it is obvious. Excuse the chaos and say hello to our quick fire and immediate reactions to what proved to be a very very weird 1st round. Who are the winners and losers in a night that was filled with surprises?
It's time to make our final predictions with how the first round of the NFL Draft will go. And boy is this draft just weird and full of mystery. Which team is moving up for a QB, will 5 QBs actually go, will the Eagles draft a RB? So many more questions, and infinite scenarios.
This morning we deliver the "What We Would Do Mock." This is the for fun mock we do every year before we make our actual predictions.
The long awaited QB episode is here, and boy are we excited. Who is the number 1 QB really? How high can Anthony Richardson really climb? Which of these QBs are falling? Is there a Brock Purdy among the lot? Everything and more in what proves to be an exceptional class.
We are sprinting towards the finish line as we talk about the absolute stellar defensive line talent on full display in this class.
Before the main course you must eat your vegetables. In what are the two worst classes of the draft are there any glimmers of hope among these safeties and linebackers?
In what can possibly go down in history as the best goddamn Corner class we have ever scouted, we break down the lion's share of Day 1-2 talent. Listen and be amazed in the quality of NFL players walking through the door.
Every year John cracks open a beer and dissects the burliest of men college football has to offer. Come witness the truth from the OL master himself.
In a shocking twist, this TE class may end up being the deepest in the draft. If you need a TE, rejoice because the future is secure. We bring you 5 TEs who all have the potential to be a team's No. 1, and a couple of honorable mentions that are just on the edge.
In John's world where each RB isn't worth the pick they came in, does Bijan move the needle? Are there any RBs here who can match the unexpected results of Dameon Pierce or Tyler Allgeier? And most importantly are there any RBs after Bijan worth taking?
Draft Season has officially begun on the Objectively Wrong Podcast. Today we give you the WR group that fails to drive headlines. Is their depth in a class with such a weak Day 1 talent?
We are back, and my god look at the time we are later than the White Rabbit. We hit the Panthers-Bears trade, and why Ryan Poles settled for too little. Then we go over the major free agent signings for each team. And yes, the draft coverage is coming soon to a speaker near you.
In what promises to be a fun matchup, what will happen first...Patrick Mahomes break the MVP curse, or will Chris Simms finally give Jalen Hurts the respect he deserves?
After Divisional Weekend we have a strong final four, but let's forget about the winners for a week. Instead we focus on what each Divisional loser can do to fix their teams. Are the Bills and Cowboys doomed? Will the Giants have room to add to their roster after Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley get paid?
John takes control as we examine the first round of playoffs. Will the Chargers rebound from their brutal playoff exit? What's next for Tom Brady? And how should the Giants approach this offseason with both Daniel Jones and Saqoun Barkley needing new deals?
With the holiday season officially behind us, and with life finally allowing us to breathe...WE ARE BACK. Catch up with us, because the NFL decided to cram all the news over Christmas Dinner.
In a very special holiday episode, we give you a side of nonsense. Enough football has been played this year, its time to take a trip into the absurd. What would you do if Henry Cavill's Superman came knocking on your door? Join us as we do our best James Gunn impression and kill the Man of Steel faster than DC Studios ever could.
In the last serious episode of the year, we take a look at the likely playoff teams, and which teams, if any, can make a late arrival.
After a short and long break (just go with it), we allow football to come back into our lives.
For thanksgiving you know what we do, spend an entire episode wondering if there is anything at all to be grateful for as a Raiders fan now and in the near future.
Sitting in the corner, sipping tequila, Abtin stares at the man who has hurt him his whole life. An old 14 year old with a bowl cut, white shirt and pants stained with the sweet and sour tang of PF Changs. Where did it go wrong?
At this point every team knows if they are for real, and it's time to make the last push towards a championship. Which moves actually took a step towards that?
Recorded before the trade deadline, we examine the trades already made and sit on our GM chairs.
Howie Roseman has guided the NFL into the twilight zone. In a world where Daniel Jones and Zach Wilson win football games. A world where Geno Smith is a top 10 QB. While John trains his pole climbing skills, Abtin sits and wonders when the light will shine on his face again.
This season's foundation is already showing its fair share of cracks as numerous stars and role players fall into the deep abyss that is the IR. Which teams can rise from the Meadow Land Turf, and which have already grown fond of the taste of gravel?
In a world where anyone can win a football game, John and Abtin stand in opposite sides of the spectrum. Will the Raiders ever win a game? Are the Eagles now the favorites in the NFC?
After a week that continues to prove we know nothing about football, we talk about Trey Lance and Justin Herbert and what it means for each team. Stay tuned after the weekly predictions to learn why exactly this show is called "Objectively Wrong."
It's still the beginning of the year...a team can't be judged until week 4. This and many more is what I tell myself before I sleep. John's doing just great by the way.
With the 2nd Half of our Double Feature, here's how we expect the entire season to go, before a single game was even played.
On Football Morning, we present to you which NFC teams you can get excited about, and which our due for a step back.
The offseason is finally over and we are back! Enjoy the next two episodes that were recorded during the long summer, while we were desperate for content. This time, we check the QB ratings of our most beloved analyst Chris Simms. Will we be confused once again?
The offseason is finally over and we are back! Enjoy the next two episodes that were recorded during the long summer, while we were desperate for content. First off, we have the ranking nobody wanted, but everyone must respect. Here are the best backup QBs in the NFL.
After a quality and enjoyable break (for one of us), the boys are back in town. You’ve all seen NFL Power Rankings, well let’s do the same BUT different. We talk about true contenders, who are still a year away, and which teams really should just blow up the roster.
The boys recover from an absolutely insane Day 1 of the 2022 NFL draft, filled with NINE trades and questionable decision making. Stick around, while we grade each pick, and tell you which team won and which teams need to be sent in for re-education.
On the Eve of the most important day of the year, two men sit down and study the ancient literature to deliver the most accurate mock draft in all of the internet. Join us as we channel the inner spirit of Kevin Costner and draft Travon Walker, No matter what.
Armed with film study, anger and whiskey, John and Abtin play general manager and make every selection in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. TRENT BAALKE, DON'T DO IT!!!!
On this hallowed day, with the most important position group in the draft...nay the league, we give the rankings that will be looked back upon forever. Is this dramatic enough? QB Rankings are finally here, with surprises galore.
The Eagles and Saints have made a trade worthy of the Draft Season...and for what? Could it be one of the Linebackers we ranked this episode, or do the Saints fancy a move up? We give you the way too early grade for the trade, our LB rankings, and our own opinions on a recent NFL Analyst's mock draft.
In a mere 3 weeks the NFL draft will finally open. So with no further introduction, we rank the best players in the 2nd most important position on the team. Which Defensive Edge is the difference between the Super Bowl and a 1st round exit? And is there another Aaron Donald waiting for his opportunity to shine?
It's basically April and we finally start on the defense in this draft. After the weekly news, join us as we breakdown the top safeties and corners in this draft, and if they live up to the hype.
There's near a hundred of newly signed free agents to talk about...but before we even look at that, we need to talk about the headline signings, the shocking trades, and how the AFC is hoarding all the talent.
Russell Wilson is a Denver Bronco, and Aaron Rodgers is staying a Packer. When it rains it pours. The NFL offseason is really heating up as we approach free agency. Let's not forget the newest controversy, as Calvin Ridley will sit out an entire year following a small gambling scandal. Lastly, we cannot forget that the Draft is nearly here, and even if free agency will completely destroy it, it is finally time for our very first mock draft of the season.
Helloooooooo Youtube! For the first time ever you can catch us on video in youtube, in addition to your regulary served podcasts. We deep dive a solid and big TE class before the combine, and John gushes over the OLine crop coming out this year. Watch out next week, the first mock comes with the end of the combine.
It's time for the Running-backs, and boy is there a lot of them. We give our big board before the Combine hits your screen.
The NFL season is over, and with the Rams taking home the ultimate prize it is time for 31 other teams to move on. Rams fans we review the Super Bowl and give you another opportunity to bask in the warmth of victory. Bengals fans, come here for a hug as we take a look at our top 16 WRs in the coming draft.
After a month, seven NFL teams have finally chosen their next head coaches. Who hit a home run, and who hit a dud? Afterwards we give our predictions for the Super Bowl. Will the ultimate underdog Bengals pull out another win, or can the Rams avoid collapsing under the weight of their own expectations?
We wouldn't blame you if you forgot that football happened this week. After two great Championship games, nobody cares and there's so much more to talk about. We hit everything possible (even the football) this week, with a focus in the recent Brian Flores-led lawsuit.
Super Wildcard Weekend has left our two hosts miserable, disappointed, and studying the draft already. After a recap of the weekend festivities, John and Abtin divert their attention to predicting the entirety of the playoffs from here on. Will Green Bay still win the Super Bowl or has a season of chaos changed our minds? Does Buffalo and Kansas City continue their growing momentum all the way to LA, or is the return of King Henry enough to push the Titans towards Super Bowl redemption?
After a fantastic Divisional weekend we are left pondering the future of Green Bay, the landscape of AFC quarterbacks, and Sean Payton (he retired the day after recording). With both of our 1st seeds failing to win, we are forced to predict the Playoffs once again.
Fresh off the game of the year, John and Abtin dive deep into the Raiders and Chargers sunday night game. Afterwards, a short primer into Black Monday, and playoff predictions for Super Wild Card Weekend.
The season wraps up and we predict the important games of the first ever week 18. Are we delirious or are we destined for a Sunday night tie?
The season is wrapping up and the holidays are winding down. So what do we do to wrap it all up in a nice bow? John gets to complain about Chris Simms preseason QB rankings. We also find a great statistical analysis on QB help and QB performance, and of course it must be discussed.
It's nearly christmas and we're behind alot, but at least the NFL is delaying football games too. We talk about the bottom falling out on the Jaguars and Urban Meyer, alongside living with covid in the NFL.
We know it's been awhile. We're back with an extra long episode, after missing a couple of weeks to...life.
With a playoff picture becoming more and more foggy, and every contender looking beatable any given week, the utter chaos of the NFL has somehow left us empty, unsatisfied, and with nothing to talk about. Filling the void we take a look at the underappreciated and crucial parts of each team, before we run the episode down with our weekly predictions.
Leaving the past behind us and hoping to see the future of an absolute chaotic NFL season, here's our completely wrong and not at all right team predictions.
After the news regarding Henry Ruggs, Abtin and John put the midseason predictions on hold.
For nearly half the league the thought of contending for a Super Bowl will have to wait until next year. We rate each teams' chances going into next year.
A third of the season done and with nearly half the league needing a QB now or possibly in the near future, we take a look at 7 QB prospects, not including Spencer Rattler.
The resignation of Raiders head coach Jon Gruden is the only thing anyone is talking about. As your resident Raiders fan, Abtin has words and a John of our own to support them.
The show falls apart as John experiences an emotional morning, and just needs to talk about it. Lot of laughs coming to you in this lead up to week 5.
We talk the losers of the NFL season so far, hit you with our own predictions, and have some fun talking about the randomest of things.
Better late than never, week 3 comes and goes. Catch up on what we thought, before it all went down.
It's week 2 which means we get to overreact to every week 1 victory and defeat. John takes the time to question just how the Raiders were able to win despite Jon Gruden.
Don't shoot the editor, we recorded this episode just before the season started. But for posterity sake here's our Week 1 Predictions. Laugh at our misfortunes...cause there's a big miss.
Listen now and know the future. Which AFC team is gearing up for a party, and which is ready to not smash their tables in half cough cough And which NFC team has visions of spoiling another Chiefs' Superbowl win? Is it the last dance or another ring for Tommy just to spite John? Learn whether or not you can skip this year or not...looking at you Detroit.
Preseason is dusted, now the real fun begins. 32 Teams, 32 Takes, and 32 future mistakes. It's time to plan our funeral, cause John and Abtin will somehow drink even more than last year.
We finish up our look at schedules just before preseason ends. It's the opportune time to laugh at John's misery and his flightless birds.
We're halfway there, and bringing the hot-takes with the NFC. Which surprise team makes the playoffs in a story-tell fashion?
We wrap up the AFC, talk Carson Wentz injury, and the rest of the news in a busy offseason week.
The offseason is officially over for Aaron Rodger and for us. We begin with a look at the schedules of AFC North and South. Which teams do we have trending up and down?
After a lot of problems, technical and life, we are back. We explain everything in a "short" return episode.
In the offseason dearth, we examine expectations and the role Julio Jones will have after joining the Titans.
The offseason curse strikes. Julio Jones was traded so soon after we recorded, the episode was barely edited. Listen to the before, because the after is coming very soon.
It's the dead space of the season so it's time to play some games. We take the time for a fun draft: Picking coaches to start on offense.
In an extra-long episode that made our editor cry, we go over our initial reactions to each team's schedule in detail.
It's a longer episode...we go team by team and do a quick recap and grade that will no doubt be objectively wrong (get it).
The boys congregated for the yearly ritual of watching draft day and then the real draft. Live from John's apartment and right after the first round we react to all the surprises and disappointments.
The NFL Draft is nigh and we wrap up the draft season with our official predictive mock. Skip the draft because you already have it.
It's time to give our consensus big board for the NFL draft, and there's a few surprises.
Congrats on the retirement Julian Edelman...now let's discuss if you deserve the hall of fame (just like everyone else is). It's also time for another Mock Draft. With the spotlight on us and head to head how many players did we possibly get right?
The boys take a deeper dive into the best part of the offseason...and plan to once again. This doesn't stop them from getting sidetracked with childhood cartoons though.
The guys give an attempt at a mock draft that will surely be changed multiple times until the draft.
This episode came out late, but it was the new league year has come and we just need to discuss it.
Free Agency officially opens up tomorrow, and with looming decisions just around the corner we give our very first mock draft. Agree or disagree, we can guarantee you, it won't be the last.
The boys have let their livers recover and now it's time to set up ten more shot-takes for the offseason. We also talk about what JJ Watt means for the Russell Wilson divide in Seattle, while taking the opportunity to rag on Houston just a little bit more.
Well the time has come for season shot-takes to wreak havoc over our bodies. John and Abtin regret life decisions and hit on possible JJ Watt landing spots.
It always comes back to QBs. On the week where everyone's focusing on the Super Bowl (and we do break down key matchups), we can't help ourselves. With Stafford's trade on our mind, we talk about every QB in the NFL and whether or not they're position on the team is safe.
With nothing to talk about, the boys retread some of the same ground but with a twist. What does John think of the Eagle hires? Where does Matthew Stafford rank among NFL Quarterbacks?
We grade the latest coaching hires, and how they fit each team. John takes a moment to rant about the Eagles' coaching search and their treatment of Doug Pederson. We wrap it up with a deep dive into Championship weekend.
The boys wax poetically about the Cleveland Browns, talk the latest on the numerous head coaching jobs, and wonder why Jack Easterby is the true owner of the Houston Texans. Will Watson escape Jack, or is his career doomed to repeat the Texan QBs of the past.
The boys check on the coaching candidates interviewed for each opening and select the best coach for the job. Jason Garrett is interviewing for the Charger job...and we can't let that sit. We wrap it up with wild card predictions, and a prediction on which teams will make it to the Super Bowl.
The New York Jets have saved Christmas….for Jacksonville. We rant about the Jets and their future 15 year mistake. Why the Jaguars just became the most attractive job in the NFL, and John drinks while Abtin guesses who made the Pro Bowl.
John goes down the rabbit hole again talking about Jalen Hurts and Carson Wentz. After, we talk about everyone's favorite future-GM Louis Riddick. We wrap it up giving our editor double the work he normally does.
Matt Patricia is gone! Cue Lions fans cheering in the background. With Adam Gase somehow still around it inspired us to dive in, pick out the coaches in danger, and replacing them all in one swoop. Also John experiences all the stages of grief for his Eagles in an epic rant.
We were on vacation and forgot to upload, BUT you still get to hear about how wrong we were this week. John and Abtin deal out what they're thankful for and what they're not, and hindsight is 20/20 cause Abtin has regrets.
The Hail Murray provides the perfect time for yet another refresher on Bill O'Brien. After mocking the ex-GM, the guys discuss what GM-in-waiting Jack Easterby means for the Texans organization. We wrap it up with another round of weekly predictions, including Abtin picking the Jets to win a football game this week.
We built our own ever-popular and hot-take-inducing NFL Power Ranking. Unbeholden to team's records there's some surprise teams high on our list. We wrap it up with another round of weekly predictions and joke about how the Jets still lose while on bye.
The guys talk news and how much they loathe Antonio Brown. Then they give their six trades they think is happening, and predict the future (literally). News breaks during and after the podcast in a chaotic episode.
Cowboys drama fuels John's soul, as we debate whether or not Mike McCarthy is already a failure in Dallas. Afterwards, the boys have some fun with their season long shot-takes, and one very special one for the Jets, that can see us drinking for over a year. Lastly, we hit quick game predictions.
What's the next step without Dak, and does Dan Quinn's firing signal the end of the Matt Ryan Era? Lastly, it's time to make season-long shot-takes and fill our glasses with hot takes and poor decisions.
The guys discuss Bill O'Brien's fate, Tennessee's titanic ignorance, and way too early predictions for the future of this bizarre NFL season.
The season is already a quarter done, but is everything about to fall apart? Covid buts its ugly head into the Steelers-Titans matchup as we find out live. Does Nick Foles rollercoaster career reach Super Bowl heights again?
More of the same as the season moves towards the quarter half mark. Is it time to buy-in to the hype on the Raiders? Is Mitch Trubisky a starting-level QB now?
We are back for a second show, and this time we tackle Week 1 overreactions and Week 2 predictions. The Ravens, Chiefs, Seahawks and Packers all played like Super Bowl Contenders. Was San Francisco a stepping stone in Kyler Murray's ascension, and is it time to be worried about Baker Mayfield? This and more, as just like the NFL season, we're just starting to find our groove.
It's a brand new show of two guys talking about football on the internet...stop us if you heard that before. This is Objectively Wrong, and in episode 1 we are talking about the NFL season, and what's going to happen.
