2M Football Show: Recent Episodes
Matt, Mike
Real Football, by Real Fans.
We (Mike and Matt, the 2 “M”s) are an independent podcast covering all things NFL and fantasy football! Best friends (or something like that) since high school, we are lifelong fans of the league, and we both spend enough time talking, texting, and thinking about football that it might as well be our day job (it’s not).
On our weekly show we cover the biggest happenings around the sport, while also honing in on a few playoff sleepers each season. We also love to talk fantasy football, and allocate a portion of each show (the Fantasy Corner) to this space. If you’re looking for a podcast that thoroughly covers the NFL and doesn’t take itself too seriously, this is the show for you!
For posterity, this is where 2M Football started a few years ago on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChbivN3Zv9XY2ZDvkOEVqxA), but this time around we’re coming to you Podcast-style.
