I’m dumbfounded writing this…but my delusional co-hosts picked the Detroit Lions to win 3 in a row for the first time since 2017.

Three things are guaranteed in this life. Death, Taxes, and the Lions winning meaningless games to destroy any hopes of seeing Bryce Young in Honolulu Blue.

The boys discuss the issues in the Raiders locker room, and give big praise...

Sam thinks week 10 is officially the end of the Philadelphia Eagles undefeated season. Uncle Sam on the other hand has lost interest in his secret lover Taylor Heinicke, and instead thinks The City of Brotherly Love will prevail over the entire league this season.

Even though history is against him he believes firing Frank Reich and hiring former center and current broadcaster (with no head coaching experience) Jeff Saturday is the right move. Sam goes on a tirade about just how bad both the Detroit Lions, and Green Bay Packers are, and we finally decide Dan Campbells fate. Uncle Sam thinks th...

Uncle Sam is hot today and I bet you can guess the topic of his rant…that’s correct! Officiating. In a weekend where the mighty fell hard (Tom and Aaron both fell below .500) Uncle Sam focused mostly on just how bad the Detroit Lions are. We discuss the great matchups from week 7 and how the playoff picture looks this far.

Can you believe it? Week 7 is already upon us. With Halloween right around the corner we take a look at which teams have the most gruesome outlook going forward. We actually saw points in a TNF game! Could the 49ers have the scariest offense in football, with the addition of Christian McCaffrey? Sam believes so.

Another gloomy Monday in Detroit, and we start off by discussing the very gloomy outlook for the Carolina Panthers. Josh Allen trumped Patrick Mahomes in Bruce’s Game of the Week. Uncle Sam is convinced the Eagles are going 17-0, and the Lions will beat Dak and The Cowboys next week, and Sam is finally worried about Tommy and the Bucs.

Indeed, it is. Spoiler alert…Bruce is back which pleased Uncle Sam. Will Dan Snyder expose Jerry Jones? Is Roger Goodell actually an ax murderer?

Our week 4 recap may not have been as fiery as the preview, but we packed a whole lot of action into 1 hour. Uncle Sam still loves the Ravens, and thinks the Eagles are getting a ring, Bruce is “pissed” and Sam still has plenty of faith in Tampa. We reflect on the Bears finally falling into their place, and a weekend full of big-time running backs.

Uncle Sam believes the Eagles will keep flying, and the Patriots will keep dying, and Sam puts his faith in Russel Willson one last time. Everyone agrees that Tom Brady and the Bucs will prevail in the Game of t...
