We Like the Pain: A Self-Hate Football Podcast

The guys return from their offseason slumber and discuss expectations for the Jaguars’ and Texans’ respective seasons.

The guys are back after a two month hiatus to talk about the Jags' and Texans' offseasons. Spoiler: Sam and Oscar are both happy coming out of free agency probably for the first time ever. Look forward to more draft content in the coming weeks. Thanks for listening!

The NBA trade deadline and Super Bowl week happening at the same time resulted in an hour and a half of content from the boys. It'll be a couple months before we're back so enjoy the break from our voices. Thanks for tuning in!

Probably our most intuitive quick questions yet, followed by some NBA thoughts, a fast Texans update, and then a 10 minute love fest about the Jacksonville Jagwaggers. DUUUVAL is coming to play in Kansas City!

For maybe the first time this season, Texans and Jags fans are both happy at the same time. This is for different reasons, of course- the Texans are still 1-12-1. But both teams have been frisky in recent weeks, and both fanbases are rooting for the Texans to be spoilers in Tennessee this weekend. Meanwhile, Trevor Lawrence is balling. We also hit some interesting league-wide questions, talk fanta...

Fair warning, Oscar recorded this podcast while on the road, so sound quality is poor. We still decided to post it anyway. Listen for Jags sadness, Texans misery, and the longest update on The League we've had in a while. Thanks for tuning in!

After another break (this time there was good reason, it was Thanksgiving), the guys are back for real. Sam surprises in his quick question, there's some positive soccer takes, and the Texans are the worst team in the league. Plus, lots of thoughts on the Jags and, more importantly, Trevor Lawrence. We end as always with game pickems and fast fantasy thoughts. Thanks for listening!

The long-awaited (3 weeks... oops) return of the podcast happened and we hope it's everything you ever dreamed of. There's some football talk, some football talk, and some more football talk. Plus, mascots are weird. Thanks for listening!

We recorded this podcast live on the road to College Station, featuring Wyatt's first appearance this season. Discussed were some NFL trades, the Jags season continuing to disappoint, Sam catching up in the Team Draft, and more. Thanks for listening!

The quickest episode yet, we're here to talk about the best Jags & Texans opinions heading into week 7

The boys are back!

THE JAGS! and the texans :..( The above pretty much sums up how the episode went, as well as our feelings for our respective squads. Also covered in the episode- NBA and NFL owners ousted (!), MLB home run counter (for the two players we care about), and some major injury stuff in the NFL. To close, as always, we did pickems and a small fantasy corner. Thanks for listening!

The guys are back and Sam is ecstatic after the Jaguars put up a great performance on Sunday. To open the show, "quick" questions led to lengthy discussions about over- and underperforming teams as well as the first coach fired. Then some actually quick WNBA, NBA, and NFL news (so long Trey Lance, my sweet prince). Oscar gives reactions to a disappointing Texans outing on offense, while Sam talks...

Episode THREE ZERO is here, and we couldn't be more excited about it. Thank you guys for sticking around this long. To commemorate this milestone, the Texans and Jags went right back to well of disappointment in their Week 1 performances. Guess we should expect it at this point. We also gave an update on the Team Draft, our Week 1 Pickems (and did them for Week 2), and talked about the major injur...

The guys run through some top sports stories, Dalton joins the pod for the first time in a while to talk Aggie football and give his opinion on the Deshaun suspension, and then we preview the Texans and Jags' week one matchups. Finally, we do a pickem for every game spread of NFL action (and align on far too many of them). Thanks for listening! We'll be back on Spotify Live next Tuesday or Wednesd...

After meeting up in Mexico, the guys decided that a podcast could wait til this week, so here it is. They start out with a bunch of basketball news, including a trade that shocked NBA Twitter. There is some NFL injury news, the Deshaun suspension was announced, and Oscar has a note about mental health after the passing of a former Texans executive. Then, conversation moves to the final two weeks o...

We talk through some NFL injuries and other news. First team reps were limited for the Jags and Texans in week 1 of the preseason (something that we both were grateful for- don't play your studs when it doesn't matter!), but we discuss some players who caught our attention. Finally, Fantasy Corner is finally back on a weekly basis, and the guys couldn't be more excited. Thanks for tuning in!

The guys are back in business with a month until the first regular season game! On today's episode, we talked about the MLB trade deadline, some NBA stuff, and a quick preview into Texas A&M football. Then, the NFL levied a suspension on Deshaun Watson and a heavy punishment on the Dolphins, and we react to both. Finally, we did a team draft (based on the one Mina Kimes does on her show every...

The Boys are Back in Town after a needed break from football content. We give our updated thoughts (and draft grades) on the Texans' and Jaguars' drafts, and address any big offseason storylines for the teams and the NFL as a whole. Also, congratulations are in order for the major sports title winners that we've missed in two months off, there is plenty of NBA news to discuss (we focus mainly on t...

The guys talk about the NBA playoffs, the Deebo Samuel trade request, and Texans and Jaguars transactions. Then, the rest of the show is taken up by Sam playing the Jags and Oscar playing the Texans in a full, 7 round mock draft. Thanks for tuning in!

The guys are BACK with a pod hot off the press. We recorded on Spotify Greenroom for the first time, and there's been a lot of Jags money tossed around. Sam gives his favorite and least favorite signings. Then, the guys talked about the Texans' recent trade of Deshaun Watson (with both on- and off-the field repercussions). Finally, we end by ranking the 32 NFL quarterbacks 1-32 as a way to talk ab...

Welcome back to an impromptu episode as we discuss the crazy movement from this week in the NFL, college basketball heading into March Madness, and our Spurts (Spurs). 

Coming to you LIVE from Twitter Spaces, the guys give their first reactions to the NFL coaching cycle. Sam is going to talk himself into the Jags hire, while Oscar wants the Texans front office to just be normal for once. The episode was recorded on the day of the NBA trade deadline, so there's a lot of basketball talk as well. Because the episode was done on a Space, the guys get their friends' o...

Welcome to EPISODE #20! Huge milestone for the guys, and they celebrate it the only way they know how: by ruining their moods through the never ending torture that is being a fan, and by talking about the Jaguars and Texans. 

After a one week hiatus, the guys are back to talk about our teams' ongoing coaching searches. Both mention that there's a lot less stress when the Texans and Jags aren't playing, and how it's nice to just enjoy playoff football. Speaking of the playoffs, the guys cover the divisional round matchups, during which Sam says if it's not Titans-Bills and Rams-49ers in the conference championships, he'...
