Then in the second half of the podcast, we do a Running Back Draft. We go around the horn and have a discussion ranking the best RB’s in the league, based on what we think they can do in 2016, with a draft format. This should make for some interesting discussion, some controversy, and fun as well.
We apologize again for not having a show in a bit, schedules were not coming together to be able to do this, but now it seems we’ve figured out something that works until we go back to doing the double shows pretty soon in July.
On today’s show, we discuss the latest news with Von Miller not happy with the contract offer from the Denver Broncos and if he really “won’t play under franchise tag.” We also talk Fletcher Cox signing a huge deal, Ron Rivera getting a three year extension, Darius Slay wanting to be paid, Darren McFadden’s injury, Keenan Allen getting an extension, Detroit Lions looking at Anquan Boldin, Brandon Marshall’s new deal and more.
Then in the second half of the podcast, we do a Quarterback Draft. We go around the horn and have a discussion ranking the best QB’s in the league, based on what we think they can do in 2016, with a draft format. This should make for some interesting discussion, some controversy, and fun as well.
Sorry for the one week off, but we were all very busy last week and let’s be honest, this is that lull in the season. We do have a few things to discuss, such as the accidental Aqib Talib shooting in Dallas, Texas, the Pro Bowl moving to Orlando for 2017, the New York Jets offering Ryan Fitzpatrick a few more million, the situations at both Baylor University and Ole Miss, the Big XII voting for a Conference Championship game and more.
This is basically a news edition of the podcast, but next week, we will get back on track with some topics and such.
We are back once again to talk about what’s going on in the NFL. The Jacksonville Jaguars got some bad news that Jalen Ramsey has a slight meniscus tear in his right knee and it could be minor or be a major issue, we discuss that, as well as more on a potential move to Las Vegas for the Oakland Raiders, the latest in Tom Brady’s deflategate suspension, fans not liking Aaron Rodgers hard counts, people not being big fans of Sam Bradford, and a few other things.
After this, we go through Round Robin style and rank the teams 1 to 32 on who has the best chance to win the Super Bowl during the 2016 season. Will the Broncos repeat again? Could the Patriots bounce back? Were the Carolina Panthers a one year wonder? Is it Carson Palmer’s time in Arizona? Where does your team rank? Tune in to find out.
------------- Time Stamps ------------
(6:05-42:48) NFL News: Tom Brady tries to get appeal, Jalen Ramsey surgery, more on Raiders to Las Vegas, players against Sam Bradford and more.
(42:48-End) Our Superbowl Draft: We pick teams going around the horn from 1-32 to determine who has the best chance to make it to the Big Game at the end of the season.
We are starting to hit that lull in the off-season, where not a whole lot is really happening. There is some news to talk about though and we cover as much as we can of it.
Zach Mettenberger has been released by the Titans, we discuss if he has any potential landing spots, there’s some injury news, as Shaq Lawson has to have shoulder surgery and may not be ready to start the season, Sammy Watkins also has a broken bone in his foot as well. The Atlanta Falcons made some waves with their possibly cheaply priced concessions, Jason Jones signs with the Dolphins and Anquan Boldin could go to the Titans.
We also keep things going with our burning questions on some NFL teams. What questions do we ask? Tune in to find out.
The NFL Draft is firmly in the rear view mirror, Rookie Minicamps have begun for NFL teams, and we are left with questions, you might call them Burning Questions about certain positions on teams. So, we try to play a round of that on this episode of the podcast.
Can the Minnesota Vikings win the Super Bowl in 2016? Will Colin Kapernick still be a San Francisco 49ers player by the start of the season? Could Myles Jack be the Defensive Rookie of the Year? Is it possible that the Buffalo Bills have a change at Quarterback mid-season? These are some of the types of burning questions we are answering today.
There’s also some NFL news we never quite got to discuss because of all the Draft stuff. Jordan Reed signed a big contract extension, The Oakland Raiders could be moving, the NFL revealed their first 10 players in the 2016 Top 100 and should Andrew Luck be at No. 92? We discuss that and a few other news bits in here as well.
The NFL Draft is now over, the rookies know what teams they are playing for, and the teams are moving towards focusing on OTA’s. However, we aren’t quite finished looking at the 2016 Draft.
Before moving along, we have to give out our 2016 NFL Draft Team Grades for each team, choose a winner for each division, and look at some categories as well. This was certainly a Draft that was unpredictable, had some nice and crazy storylines, and brought hope to so many teams.
Who had the best draft? What were some of the teams that made some weird decisions? Who has the most potential to shine down the line? We look at all of that and a few news items as well on this big episode.
This is it, the day all NFL fans have been waiting for, Draft Day is here and we have live Round 1 Draft coverage that you can listen to right here. We discuss the biggest stories heading into the draft, discuss some of our favorite players, and even some guys that could surprise and sneak into Round 1. Then when the draft begins, we go through every pick as it happens, discuss the player, the team, how they fit, and more.
So, if you are stuck at work with no way to watch or just busy with something else, but want to know what’s happening on the 2016 NFL Draft, just tune in right here and find out.
We are days away from The 2016 NFL Draft and there isn’t a better way to get you ready for that than doing our 2016 NFL Draft Preview. We do our own version of a Round 1 Mock Draft and also drop down to see what the New England Patriots do in the lower part of the second round. We give out some possibilities of trades and players we are looking at in the second and third round as well. This will definitely be something you will want to check out.
That’s not all though, as Tom Brady received bad news yesterday morning, as his four game suspension has been reinstated and he may not be able to win an appeal this time.

Another week closer to the NFL Draft and another crazy deal happened as well. This time the number two pick in the draft went to another team. The Eagles and Browns trade now sees the Eagles poised to take one of the Quarterbacks, while the Browns can stock up on picks. It is even possible that the Browns trade down again before it is all said and done.
There’s also the big news of Josh Norman Franchise Tag Rescinded by the Carolina Panthers and thus he becomes an unrestricted free agent. We discuss where he could land and if this shakes up the draft at all.
Finally, we end our NFL Off-Season Analysis by looking at the entire NFC East in one show.

The game was a close one up to the final play and the Browns even had to bring in Austin Davis to replace Josh McCown. Should the Browns just use these final games to evaluate Austin Davis instead of even thinking about Johnny Manziel? Who should Baltimore Ravens fans and coaches be looking at as nice pieces for next season? We discuss these things and more.

Coming into Week 12, 23 out of 32 teams are either at 500 or below it. Obviously, there are week's left to play in the season, but this can't be what the NFL wants can it? So, we discuss the NFL's parody and if it really is as good as it is perceived to be. (1:28:38-1:35:25)
