What's up sports fans? Divisional Weekend complete, and things got crazy. Devon's Detroit Lions are headed to the NFC Championship, and he was there to see it happen. We let him revel in it a bit, before an actual breakdown of the Lions beating the Buccaneers (04:38). Two teams bringing house money, and Detroit cashed in. We also muse about Baker Mayfield's future in Tampa Bay, and talk about his...

What's up sports fans? Wild Card Weekend lived up to its name. We talk about the collapse of the NFC East and hypothesize which coaches might be on the move. While we disagree on the mentality of playoff blowouts, the Packers whooped the Cowboys any way you cut it. Is Jordan Love the second-best quarterback in the 2020 NFL Draft class (05:04)? (Joe Burrow is No. 1.) We wonder if Dallas will move o...

What's up sports fans? Week 18 of the NFL Season means it's time for the playoffs. For 14 teams, the season rolls on—Devon's Lions keep pushing, and Alex's Vikings can focus on 2024. We talk about the head-to-head matchup a little bit, and then focus on what the Vikings should do going forward. Alex gives his take on why the Panthers have a super attractive job offer, and it's all about the money...

What's up sports fans? Week 17 of the NFL Season in the books, and we had drama. We give a brief take on the College Football Playoff selections (01:00) before we jump in with Mike Tomlin's 17th winning season—in a row. AFC North fans (except for the Bengals) feel good right now. After our obligatory Joe Flacco appreciation moment, we discuss how much we want Deshaun Watson out of the NFL. A broke...

What's up sports fans? Week 16 of the NFL season is done. We rip the bandage off this week with elephant jokes and address the biggest elephant in the room. Did you know elephants can't walk on water? Also—the Lions won their division for the first time since 1993. We compare Nick Mullens to Brett Favre (calm down, Packers fans) and pick (see what we did there?) apart the Vikings demise. We also d...

What's up sports fans? Week 15 of the NFL season has come and gone. The Raiders went from zero to hero and slaughtered the Chargers—harshly enough to get everyone fired (and maybe get Antonio Pierce's 'interim' tag torn off). We talk about the importance of getting the coach right when you have an elite QB, and examine the nightmare salary cap scenario Los Angeles has to address. We also attempt t...

What's up sports fans? Week 14 of the NFL season is in the books. We predicted the Garbage Bowl, we just had the teams wrong (sorry Steelers and Patriots). We talk about the thin ice upon which Pittsburgh stands, and consider if Mike Tomlin ending above .500 is inevitable. We discuss what Minshew Mania could do for Pit (04:15), and look at the free-falling Seahawks. Devon fully calls fraud watch o...

What's up sports fans? Week 13 of the NFL season in the rearview, and chaos reigns. The Panthers are officially moving to 2024, but they're not unlucky. We talk about the luck factor in football (02:30)—and it is a factor. Plus, the unluckiest team this season? Alex's Minnesota Vikings. We agree with Trevor Lawrence that a weak division is kind of nice, because we just want to win. We talk through...

What's up sports fans? Week 12 of the NFL season in the books, and we are sad. The Lions and Vikings both took hard losses to divisional opponents, which is bad for the AD's Office boys. We look at the state of the Lions with a look at the playoffs, and examine the QB situation in Minnesota (03:40) after Josh Dobbs threw *four* interceptions against the Bears. We also take a look at the long-await...

What's up sports fans? Week 11 of the NFL season brought some surprises, some close calls, and some expected bad beats. The Lions barely survived hosting Chicago, and Aiden Hutchinson got his big-time moment. Matt Eberflus should be gone, but Justin Fields might stick around for the Bears (03:25). We talk about the death knell of turnovers for the Vikings in Denver (04:40), and consider if Joshua...

What's up sports fans? Week 10 of the NFL season is in the books. The playoff picture is still shaky, the Bills look like they're going to implode (01:25), and Russ might be cooking in Denver. Firing an offensive coordinator won't fix bad defense—someone tell Sean McDermott before he gets himself fired. We talk about CJ Stroud (09:55) putting himself in MVP consideration, and dismiss any injury ex...

What's up sports fans? Week 9 of the NFL season means Midseason Awards are here. We open with the improbable, incredible performance of Joshua Dobbs (01:15) as the Vikings pulled off an incredible comeback. Devon wants to pump the brakes, and Alex wants to give Kevin O'Connell the team's MVP of the game. We rip Arthur Smith (08:10) for mismanaging elite offensive talents like Bijan Robinson and Ky...

What's up sports fans? Week 8 of the NFL season rocked the league. Kirk Cousins ruptured his Achilles, the trade deadline made some teams better—and some teams worse—and the Packers are bad now. We talk about the Vikings as a Wild Card team (03:45) and savor in the Packers struggling week after week. Shoutout to Packers fans for hanging with us. It takes some convincing to admit times have changed...

What's up sports fans? Week 7 of the NFL season is in the books. We explore the looming NFL trade deadline, explain why big names probably won't get moved this week, and talk about why the Rams made trades work for a Super Bowl win. We go deep on the Vikings mega upset over the 49ers (02:48) and argue over the best offensive tackle pairings in the league (04:21). After a mention of Purdy's concuss...

What's up sports fans? Week 6 of the NFL season down, and some incredible storylines brewing. We talk about legendary defenses (02:00) and give Myles Garrett some flowers, talk about Micah Parsons icing Monday Night Football for the Cowboys (04:00), and question John Lynch using a third-round pick on a... kicker (04:40). Alex gives a shoutout to the local Longhorns—Hook 'em (07:45), and we rag on...

What's up sports fans? Week 5 of the NFL season is in the books. We open up ragging on the Bears (00:35) and the Commanders, take a trip down Devon's worst memory lane (01:25), and set some realistic expectations for some bad NFL teams. We talk a little bit about the importance of Draft position (05:20) and shout out Stefon Diggs and Dak Prescott for outperforming their draft spots. The Bengals sh...

What's up sports fans? It's week four of the NFL season, and some things are starting to feel familiar. We lost a full pod of Dolphins (00:48) and watched Josh Allen put on the superhero cape (02:25). Stefon Diggs put defenders in a blender (03:58) and the Bills found the balance between recklessness and ridiculous. The Cowboys still look excellent (05:50), while the Patriots have a "meh" QB optio...

What's up sports fans? It's week three, and the NFL season delivered the biggest drama yet. Devon went behind enemy lines (01:15) and buries the Vikings—fans and GM alike. Alex defends past first-round picks (03:30), and shouts out UDFA Ivan Pace, Jr. for his meteoric rise to NFL starter. Drafting is difficult (05:45) for even the smartest Wall Street guys, plus a deep dive on the NFC North. Hope...

What's up sports fans? It's week two of the NFL season, and the madness has just begun. Justin Jefferson learns about a dumb rule (00:50) and we ask what's wrong with AJ Brown (02:45). We talk about the magic of the QB sneak (04:22), also known as Jason Kelce. Plus, a superstar's self-inflicted expectations (06:14) and Nick Chubb's gruesome injury (08:58). We also address the strength of the AFC N...

What's up sports fans? In this inaugural episode, we recap all the madness of the NFL's opening weekend. Devon's Lions (00:46) took on the defending champions who got hit with a dose of drops (or, maybe they didn't). Top overall draft pick Bryce Young made his NFL debut (07:05), and franchise QBs seemingly forgot how to play football. We also address the bottom of the barrel from the Windy City (0...
