  • Slowly but surely

    Damn near every episode Taylor Swift being brought up is getting exhausting. Chris went from breaking down plays to gossip soon as the co host changed over.

    lol - overusing and forcing on air cursing distracts from what is a good show. Now I got my kid on repeat saying fudge and how mahomes in Spanish means poo. Friend of the show.

  • Lip Smacking

    I really love their show, but Cris has developed this really annoying habit of smacking his lips before he starts speaking and you’ve got a break this this is a podcast man. It’s an audio thing. We gotta stop doing that. It’s really nasty.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sophomore Jumps; Falcons lose Jalon Walker
Q: What's the reality of training camp stats versus how the season may unfold?
The guests emphasize that camp stats, particularly 7-on-7 numbers, are not reliable indicators of NFL success and should be weighed against live-game performance and offensive/system context.
Sophomore Jumps; Falcons lose Jalon Walker
Q: How does this Browns quarterback competition compare to prior eras of hype around the Browns' signal-callers?
Mary Kay Cabot explains that the Shedeur Sanders phenomenon is on another level due to social media and the Sanders family's media reach, making it more pervasive than Johnny Manziel's era.
"Prove It" Year QBs; 49ers NOT a Super Bowl team?
Q: What are the seven teams Jadeveon Clowney has played for?
The hosts list Ravens and Texans as part of his early career, then add Dallas, Carolina, Cleveland, Seattle, and Tennessee as the other stops, noting his journeyman trajectory.
Zay Flowers on Cooking for Lamar Jackson
Q: What makes playing with Lamar Jackson such a great fit for you personally?
Flowers says their games complement each other, with Lamar able to extend plays and deliver throws on the run, making it easier for him to find open space and maximize big-play potential.
Zay Flowers on Cooking for Lamar Jackson
Q: All right, so let's talk about, you know, the biggest thing in your life right now, the new contract, so happy to see you get rewarded. All right, I think first thing is kind of, how did the deal come together?
Zay explains that his agent and the organization communicated consistently, with trust from the Ravens and from EDC to finalize a deal that shows commitment and belief in him, and describes the process as steady rather than rushed.
