And The Kick Is Good!

The picks are in and the scene is set for the future of the 32 NFL franchises, well at least for another 12 months - there's always a Josh Rosen in there somewhere! We recap it division by division, team by team and give our thoughts, insights and most importantly - draft grades. What did we think of every team's draft? Have a listen to this bumper episode and find out!

Joe Schoen's on the phone and it's time to start drafting! That's right it's Draft Day, so grab your pancakes, your Kevin Costner posters & settle in, it's our 2022 Mock Draft. This is how it's going to, no if's, and's or but's - this is the way. We get straight into it, assigned our own teams and several others, we're the GMs - there's tr...

This week we dive into the depths of the defensive talent (bar edge, we did that last week!) in the upcoming 2022 NFL Draft! Kyle Hamilton, Sauce Gardner, Derek Stingley, Jordan Davis, Devonte Wyatt, Kaiir Elam, Jordan Booth and a lot of Devin Lloyd. Honestly Tom loves Devin Lloyd and it was a surprise to us all. So join us as we also breakdown the news of various potential NFL crimes, Tom's...

We're back! After a week off due to illness, cricket and children (maybe in that order), we're back with a bumper episode! In this episode we break down the edges and o-linemen upcoming in this draft, discuss who goes #1 overall between the big names (Evan Neal, Ikem Ekwonu, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Aiden Hutchinson or Travon Walker?!), why Trent Baalke is a madman, the WR pay scale going insa...

Fantasy enthusiasts get in here - it's time to talk the skill positions! Last year we spoke highly of the likes Tommy Tremble, Javonte Williams and Kadarius Toney as our loves but who makes the list this year? From Chris Olave to Drake London to Alec Pierce and back around again with Breece Hall, Isiah Spiller and Ricky Persons Jr? Then there's Colum reviewing tight ends, which went so w...

It's that time of year again where we begin to breakdown the young up and comers to the league and project our thoughts on where we think they'll end up. Last year it was Mac Jones, Zach Wilson and Trey Lance that dazzled us - have Kenny Pickett, Malik Willis, Sam Howell or any others captured the same attention? There's only one way to find out! We also have big trades bookending e...

Well the Cleveland Browns have done it. They've traded for Deshaun Watson and while it may help win some football games, they disillusion their fanbase and bring a world of rightfully deserved ire to the team. We gathered up to discuss the inevitable and get into what it means for the Browns, Texans and others involved in this QB carousel.

Free Agency is running amok on the NFL and with our legal tampering live stream (Twitch.tv/tombolaboy) done and out of the way, Brady back in the NFL and several front offices pissing off their quarterbacks so they can trade for another one - we thought it best to do a little filler podcast focused on those fine folks! So we have the latest and greatest on Baker Mayfield, Matt Ryan, Deshaun Watson...

Can the NFL calm down for a minute - it's not even the new league year yet?! We breakdown the Russell Wilson trade as his time as a Seattle Seahawk comes to an end and his time as a Denver Bronco begins. The AFC West is now STACKED to the gills at QB - and there's also Derek Carr, while the Seahawks look to recover from the Jamal Adams trade that gets worse day-by-day. Oh yeah and Aaron...

QB controversy, an NFL combine around the corner and plenty of little tidbits of information as we approach week of the true off-season. There's commentators moving between broadcasters, a request for 12 Pam Olivers and a single Kevin Harlan, retirements and pay-offs. We also delve into the AFC & NFC West to dissect what happened in their 2021 season and what's next for them in 2022,...

It's the post-season! The champagne and beer has flowed, the Hall of Fame hot takes are over and the NFL Draft prep begins in earnest. But until then we've got QBs in two minds, contract shuffling, season recaps and very, very loose bits of news and updates along the way. There's even some time for confessions and hint at a draft love to come - so enjoy!

It was the Superbowl! and we got a good game, plenty of drama and talking points and unfortunately, no Superbowl MVP for Evan McPherson. That's right this week we get into the big game and break it all down while also touching lightly on the Kyler Murray story that is continuing to bubble up and also touch on the Hall of Fame snubs of this year, future years and where does Matt Stafford fit i...

It's Superbowl time baby!!! We've got the Cincinnati Bengals going up against the Los Angeles Rams in a battle of Tom's love for Joe Burrow versus Brad's 'Stiffy for Stafford' campaign, Aaron Donald versus a suspect O-line (maybe), stud rookie WR versus superstar vet CB & of course - Evan MVPherson kicking opposite Matt Gay. It's going to be a banger of a gam...

What a week - some banger games and some massive news! Tom Brady has officially retired after 22 years of kicking the league's ass and becoming the GOAT, while Big Ben has also officially retired ending the career of the only Pittsburgh QB that Tom has ever known (that one year of Rudolph and one game of Charlie Batch don't count). Then there's the two Championship games, a Superbow...

A couple days late but welcome back to the And The Kick Is Good podcast! We were treated to a weekend of games, perhaps one of the best of all time, with classics every step of the way and three games ending on the result of a field goal. It was made for us! We break every game and also all the GM & head coaching moves as Sean Payton takes a step back from football, while the Giants, Vikings a...

It's the playoffs and the wild card weekend was not really that wild but still having plenty to talk about. When it comes to some teams we are who they thought they were, there are some that are starting to get hot and then there's others that have just gotten by. We also recap the news of the week with head coaching interviews, a GM firing and what a new movie about Weird Al Yankovic st...

Welcome to Part Two of our end of regular season special! Black Monday/Tuesday has come and so has Judgement Day - that's right after a game which featured a QB sneak on 3rd & 9, the Giants parted ways with Joe Judge and the hunt for a new GM and Head Coach begins. But first we go through the ringer that was the somewhat shocking departure of Brian Flores, the inevitable firings of Matt N...

It's time for the playoffs people! We break down all the drama of Week 18 with the overtime game playoff deciders in the AFC, the meltdown of the Colts at the Jaguars and the comeback of the year for the 49ers against the Rams?! We also get into a little playoff pick 'em to round us out! It's such a bumper episode that we split it into, with us covering Black Monday (and Tuesday) in...

Happy New Year - football in 2022 is just as wild as it was in 2021 and unfortunately some of the greats are no longer around to see it. We cover what John Madden meant to us, the Jets on the receiving end of another game winning drive from Tom Brady, the meltdown of MBC Antonio Brown and ultimately the final home game of Ben Roethlisberger. There's every other game in here as well, as Tom an...

It's that time of year once again, as we approach the business end of the season to see judge which coaches are on the hot seat and who's safe for another year... or at least a few games of next season anyways. With two seats already available - which teams will be looking on, we evaluate the position of more than a dozen coaches, as well as the Yuletide games along the way and the beari...

What did ATKIG get you for Christmas this year? That's right, it's barely assembled Discord-recorded audio as Tom has returned to the motherland (Scotland) for the holidays and Brad had to hodge-podge this together! It's a bumper week with a surprisingly full slate of games - COVID be damned! There's MVP talk for various non-QBs, there's questions about who won a specific...

After 11 months and 14 weeks of 'football', it finally happened and Urban Meyer has been fired by the Jacksonville Jaguars. In perhaps one of the most tumultuous stints as an NFL Head Coach ever, with issues ranging from unhappy players, to 'loser staff' that he employed, to young Ohio women, there was a lot of controvery that happened in very little time with Urban Meyer so wi...

Welcome back to another bumper episode of 'And The Kick Is Good!' fresh off the back of a Thanksgiving-palooza of games, we were treated to another bevy of great games across Week 13 - as well as big news! With rumours of Roethlisberger being done in Pittsburgh coming out, we ruminate on his potential moves in 2022 as well as what it means to have him starting at QB. Then there's al...

With Thanksgiving out of the way we're approaching the business end of the season and that means it's time to really call out a few teams for what they are - especially the AFC North, Tom had both his Steelers versus the Bengals (in a potential Shellacking of the Week) and the Browns versus the Ravens - but not without first covering his two loves of bashing the 49ers and the Vikings. Co...

Howdy! A quick recap of the Thanksgiving games while we had some time, we also had five minutes to discuss the career trajectory of Cole Kmet... So pop in for a quick pre-Sunday football pod!
