On the final Sunday night of the 2020 regular season, to the horror of nearly every NFL fan (particularly a large portion of the ones in the New York city area), the Philadelphia Eagles pulled quarterback Jalen Hurts in favor of backup Nate Sudfeld for no clear reason, gifting in the process, a division championship to their rivals the Washington Football Team. Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open...

When Charles Robinson said on the most recent episode of this podcast, "that's it, it's over," in regards to Washington QB Dwayne Haskins, he didn't think the team would waive him 12 hours later. But that's what happened. Charles & Terez Paylor kick off this episode of the podcast breaking down the simultaneously shocking, yet not surprising news that the former first rounder was released by the W...

With just one week left of 2020 NFL regular season games remaining, the coveted MVP award that was, at one point, clearly destined for Russell Wilson, and at another, evidently Patrick Mahomes' for the taking, appears to have changed hands for perhaps one last time. The Green Bay Packers dealt the Tennessee Titans a decisive 40-14 loss on Sunday night, and in doing so, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers thr...

After an 11-0 start, the Pittsburgh Steelers looked Super Bowl-bound and people around the league questioned whether 16-0 was in play? Three weeks later, the situation is very different. Having lost to the Washington Football Team, Buffalo Bills and, on Monday night, the lowly Cincinnati Bengals, the Steelers appear in free-fall. What doesn’t help matters is their Week 16 opponents are the Indiana...

The New York Jets had one simple job: keep losing games. Unfortunately for scores of Jets fans, the team that’s tortured them for decades continued to twist the knife of dramatic irony. In a stunning upset, the Jets beat the Los Angeles Rams 23-20 and effectively handed control of the number one pick in this April’s draft to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson kick off the sh...

The New York Giants took the prize for the most surprising outcome of Week 13 with their late-afternoon road win in Seattle. The G-Men held Russell Wilson's Seahawks to a paltry twelve points and likely snuffed out the QB's MVP chances in 2020, earning their fourth straight win along the way. Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open the podcast discussing the resurgent New York Football Giants and the...

There's truly nothing like that early-December tradition all Americans know and love: Wednesday afternoon football. The thrice-delayed second meeting of the Pittsburgh Steelers & Baltimore Ravens finally occurred on an extremely-rare Wednesday afternoon and the end results were mixed: the Steelers came away with a win in what was ultimately an ugly game for the virus-stricken Ravens. Terez Paylor...

While NFL fans were treated to a battle of GOAT vs. future-GOAT on Sunday as Patrick Mahomes & Tom Brady dueled to a 27-24 finish in Tampa Bay, a few other putrid QB situations reared their ugly heads. Namely, the Denver Broncos starting former practice squad WR Kendall Hinton at QB after a coronavirus case and the ensuing safety protocols ruled out their entire quarterbacks room. Terez Paylor & C...

In Week 7, Seattle’s D.K. Metcalf chased down an interception by Arizona’s Budda Baker, preventing a touchdown in what was undoubtedly the most incredible play of the season up to that point. In Week 10, that conventional wisdom was usurped by another breathtaking play involving the Arizona Cardinals. This time, with mere seconds left, down four, Kyler Murray threw up a 43-yard Hail Mary to DeAndr...

The 2020 NFL regular season is just over halfway done, and despite ballooning COVID cases both in the league and nationally, it appears as if we'll get something resembling a complete season.  Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open their mid-week podcast discussing the recently agreed-upon plans from the NFL's owners to institute a 16-team playoff field in the case that regular season games are canc...

Sunday evening gave us two stark versions of the NFL's old guard and its new generation at the quarterback position. Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints blanked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 38-3, while Tom Brady threw three interceptions. Only hours before, Tua Tagovailoa and the defensively stout Miami Dolphins pulled off a 34-31 road win against the electric Kyler Murray who put up 283 yards in th...

Tuesday was certainly a day not without excitement in America. The Presidential race is still too close to call as of late Wednesday, but we do know what to call Tuesday's trade deadline in the NFL: boring. Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open up this midweek podcast reacting to the lack of major moves at the deadline and what it says about where most of the teams are at the season's halfway point...

It was a wild, windy Week 8 in the NFL where few things were predictable (except for the Kansas City Chiefs easily dispensing of the New York Jets). Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson kick off their Sunday night podcast recapping the clear game of the week between Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens and Ben Roethlisberger’s Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers held on late to defeat their division rival an...

Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open the podcast this week discussing the state of a handful of rosters as the NFL trade deadline fast approaches.

Could the...

Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson recap a wild Week 7 in which a handful of games came down to the wire, the first and foremost being the Arizona Cardinals' incredible comeback win in the final seconds of overtime versus the Seattle Seahawks.  Elsewhere in the league, the Lions, Browns and Chargers also pulled off wacky wins in high-scoring games, meanwhile the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Pittsburgh St...

Well, that didn’t take long.

The football gods give and the foot ball gods take away. That was as apparent as ever on Sunday in Week 5 as Alex Smith made his triumphant return to action after nearly two years away from the sport as a result of a gruesome leg injury. On the other side of that coin, only hours later, Dak Prescott suffered a gruesome ankle injury of his own and is now out for the season. Terez Paylor & Charles R...
