The latest elimination may not be a surprise to many, but it sure is a damn shame that's for sure. But this weeks drama lies in the reward challenge, where contestants are bending rules, manipulating, and flat out making things impossible to deal with for the commissioner.

As the new NFL season approaches, the Fiends close the books on the first season of the podcast the best way they know how: Creating a new NFL Heroes vs Villains list! With the promise to be on time in the future, and the 2020 season skipped altogether, the Fiends finally get around to naming the 10 biggest heroes and villains of the 2021 season. Then, they give a quick preview of what's to come in season 2. FOOTBALL!!!!!
What they gonna say now? Some doubted us, but the Football Fiends are back with another long-overdue episode to catch up on all the drama since we last recorded a few months ago. We cover the NFL Draft, Watson, Gronk, Broadcasters, and a ton more on this massive episode, which includes a guest appearance from fan-favorite Mr. Boyle that you don't wanna miss! In addition, stay tuned for our Season 1 Finale: Heroes and Villains podcast which will be dropping in August as we approach the new season!
What an offseason! The greatest of all time? The fiends have so much to catch up on including the super bowl, tom Brady, the QB shuffle, blockbuster trades, and the rest of free agency.
What an outstanding postseason this has been. Including maybe the greatest divisional round of all-time and greatest game of all-time. The Fiends break down all the madness and close the books on another season of QB rankings. Then, the Fiends give a brief breakdown of the Super Bowl to close it out.
The Football Fiends are here to break down Super Wild Card Weekend and the rest of the upcoming NFL Playoffs! We got our bracket predictions, super bowl winners, breakout performers, award predictions, and much more!
The first week 18 in NFL history is in the books and it did not disappoint. Playoff lives on the line, seedings up in the air, and mutually beneficial ties? We break it all down along with the naming of our final WOAT and GOAT of the season.
The squad actually brings some positivity this week...not the worst podcast you'll ever listen to. The Giants continue to make history with historically bad QB play while the Ravens rotisserie of QBs will result in them missing out on the playoffs.
The inaugural season of survivor fantasy football has come to a close and a champ has been crowned! Join us today as we recap the championship and the rest of the season with the final 2! We also look ahead to next year and start talking about season 2!
A 20-minute pod!!!! A new record!!!! Catch up on the week 16 QB rankings if you are interested in who was worse between Jake Fromm and Ian Book.
Another late night discussing mediocre QB play. What can be better than that? Listen to today's pod to find out where Tyler Huntley, and only Tyler Huntley, ranks.
This is it, the biggest moment of the game so far. Listen in to our LIVE tribal council held last night which will help determine the winner of this year's contest. The winner of the jury vote receives a massive bonus for the championship round, so you can't miss this!
We were down to three, but, just like Survivor should do in real life, the game is not over yet. We had another elimination, becoming the final member of the jury right before final tribal council. He joins us on the pod to break it all down.
In real survivor the fire making challenge would've gone down, but in this game we just had the single best battle to lead up to an elimination of the year. Jake was safe, and all three other castaways were in danger heading into MNF. Find out who went home and who is in good shape heading into the final three next week!
Urban Meyer (now fired) may have ruined Trevor Lawrence, but besides that, we finally got some decent quarterback play...was that too much to ask for? And unfortunately a QB near and dear to one of our hearts goes down. Will Lamar be ok? And, if not, will Steve be ok?
Its at the usual point of the season where even we stop enjoying this...but luckily Gardner Minshew is here to save us! Praise be to Minshew. Kudos to you if you listen to this.
The final five battled it out, and in the end the show's biggest fan gets eliminated. We're now heading into the final four...but unlike survivor no more gimmicks, no fire making twists, just straight fantasy football up until our final two start final tribal council.
Joining us this week is a fan-favorite character who unfortunately bit the dust after some unfortunate decisions heading into the week. Hear from him about his beef-creating decisions and moves as the Fiends break down all of week 12 in the league.
Steve is joined by a special surprise guest to make some Fiend history on this week’s QB Rankings, and its safe to say they have extremely similar takes and opinions. This week’s GOAT of the week comes down to one of Steve’s favorite and least favorite QBs. Who will it be????
Real Money is on the line for this week’s challenge, and find out which contestant got to take it home. Meanwhile, all of the weak teams are finally out of the way, so it means a real threat will be joining us every week from now on. Find out who it was this week!
Wow! The Football Fiends made a great discovery that actually make their little quarterback rankings actually seem meaningful. It turns out, all of the weird upsets and good teams losing in the past few weeks actually correlates to the terrible QB play we have been seeing. Somebody do a study on this!
Another wheel spin round in the books, and we saw more survivor strategy at play then ever before. Alliances were formed, trust was betrayed, and votes were cast, but in the end only one person could be eliminated.
Steve had food poisoning and doesn't feel like writing a synopsis. Zach Wilson and Sam Darnold suck.
How the mighty have fallen? If you told us that today's eliminated player would join us before Team Pal, we would have called you insane. Meanwhile, trades are being made across the league, and it is clear this has become more than just a game of fantasy football. As the next wheel spin round looms, alliances are being formed, but who can you really trust in a game like this?
Rank the QBs is back for week 9, which turned out to be the week of the backup QB! Which second stringer came in and earned the GOAT of the week ranking?
Holy Cow! What an episode. An outcast re-enters the game in a stunning vote, including a four-way tie! And we've got past, future, and present Steve here to break it all down. Meanwhile, some trades are shaking up the league, all involving the outcast who re-entered the game, and some teams are dealing with having 0$ of FAAB left and the repercussions of doing so. Although it was a straight forward elimination, this week, still a ton to breakdown!
The fiends are back, and probably the only people happy about the byepocalypse, cuz that means less QBs to rank! Tune it to check out this weeks GOAT and WOAT
The Byepocalypse is here, and it unfortunately got the best of one of our contestants. Meanwhile, we breakdown the forming of a super team after this weeks waiver wire went through, then preview what might be the craziest week yet.
The fiends are back to break down the best and worst QB performances of the week, including Herbert choking against Baltimore and Dak coming alive to take down Mac and the Pats. Tune in!
The wheel spin round is past us, but a force trade round is just as catastrophic. Lots of drama ensues because of it, but the bigger story is the surprise guest we have today after an unexpected elimination. Big week ahead, as the byepocalypse is upon us. Nobody is safe!
Another huge week for Lamar Jackson has Steve gushing about his quarterback. Maanwhile, a surprise guest fiend joins the show to help break it all down, including another MVP performance from Herbo and Josh Allen, and a new record for terrible QBs this season.
And just like that, the first wheel spin round is in the books...and what a thrilling week it was. Seems like we say this every week now, but the drama is turned up to the max this episode as alliances are formed and votes are cast. Unfortunately, this weeks guest was caught in the crosshairs by it. Future Steve also has the biggest waiver wire wildness of the season to break down. You don't wanna miss this episode!
Happy QB Friday! The GOAT debate was as interesting as the WOAT debate was clear this week. A lot of boring games but overshadowed by the great Mac Jones and Big Bill taking on Stinky Tom. How will the mighty QBs fare this week?
Another Idol is found, but its quickly on the move? We also preview our biggest event yet! Its truly drop the 4 keep the 1. Meanwhile, we are joined by the fourth person voted out, and we finally made the right prediction about who it is! Tune in to find out who it was!
Pat Mahomes is the best QB in the NFL right now...or so it seems? The Fiends breakdown the terrible Tom Brady performance along with the gem of a performance from Lamar Jackson, and much more. And if you didn't already know, Justin Tucker is the greatest NFL player of all time.
The reward challenge was a blowout, and one of the team captains themselves was in trouble because of it. Dalvin Cook’s injury signals the end to one of our castaways. We also have the craziest waiver report of the season so far. Catch up on all the latest!
Lamar Jackson goes off and beats the Chiefs and Steve isn’t even here to talk about it?!?!?! That’s alright the rest of the Fiends have you covered breakdown that game and the rest of the NFL week in our second edition of QB rankings.
You thought there was drama last week? Well in week two it gets turned up to 100. Six different people were on the chopping block at a different point, but it resulted in our guest joining us being eliminated. In addition, there were some big trades, big waiver moves, and a hidden immunity idol earned! Tune in.
Did you ask for it? Not really. But the Hoop Fiends are excited to bring to you some more spinoff content as the Football Fiends deliver the much anticipated first episode of our favorite weekly tradition...QB Rankings! We explain how it works in the intro of the pod, but this is really the most unorganized and dysfunctional pod we will do, who knows where it will take us. It being opening week, there was a ton to breakdown so it may be one of our longer installments, but that is a treat for all of you, trust us. Enjoy!
The first week of the first season of Survivor Fantasy Football is in the books, and the person who went home may not be who you expect…We also breakdown the latest news relevant to our league, recap the week one reward challenge & waiver wire acquisitions, and preview the week two challenge in this episode.
