THE NFL PUDDLE

The 2025 NFL Draft has been and gone. Rob and Ralf tried to work out what happened on Wednesday 30th April. There were some great stories, crazy picks and 'interesting' trades.

Who had the biggest moment in the draft? Which round...

Taking a deep dive into the off season, the boys actually got together in person to discuss 6 teams who are either winning or waning in free agency. Which teams did they choose?

With deals still being made and players booking their U Haul, Ralf and Rob got together on Wednesday 19th March to discuss free agency.  So far, who's winning the off season?

Wide outs seem to be the big movers of 2025, who made the biggest move and wh...

Rob and Ralf cried into their Cooper Kupps. Its a wrap!! Two teams head to New Orleans. Ralf and Rob asked the question last week " Does anyone want an Eagles v Chiefs Super Bowl?" But do they?? Dancing Daniels just couldn't find his mojo, the commanders crashed out against an Eagles team we probably haven't seen the best of yet. There are only 3 certainties in life; Death, tax...
