4.7 out of 5 stars from 3.7k ratings
  • Repeat nonsense

    This pod used to be tolerable, but it’s turned into multiple shows a day regurgitating the same hypothetical content over and over, just different hosts. Mock drafts have become intolerable and any episode that starts with TTP is an automatic delete. Finally tired of deleting episodes, so unsubscribe it shall be. One episode per day is plenty, especially in the off season. Peace out.

    Been listening to this podcast since day 1. I can’t do it anymore with this Thor guy, he’s terrible. His credibility went out the window when he went all in on JJMc

  • Boycott Betting Sponsors

    Lets normalize boycotting podcasts that take money from gambling entities which exploit addicts. Used to love Judd, Mackey and Declan but can’t support people who promote something that notoriously destroys lives. Shame on you guys, where is your moral compass?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Minnesota Vikings QB competition timeline
Q: What happens to reps as we get closer to week one—how does the playbook evolve?
As week one approaches, the playbook contracts; coaches trim packages and focus on a smaller, specific game plan to ensure the starter and the offense are cohesive under pressure.
Minnesota Vikings QB competition timeline
Q: How do you think a lineman processes a quarterback competition when the reps are split?
Linemen understand that fair reps help them prep for both quarterbacks, but they also need a sense of rhythm and cadence in the offense, so teams often try to balance reps to maximize playbook install and on-field communication.
Is Carson Wentz more likely to be the Minnesota Vikings backup QB?
Q: What is your percentage that JJ McCarthy is traded before week one?
The host suggests a high likelihood, with numbers fluctuating but leaning toward a trade before week one as teams look to maximize rookie contract value and roster flexibility.
OLC: Dumb Football Questions: Dumbest thing your NFL front office ever did?; Is Jerry Maguire believable?
Q: How accurate is the portrayal of agents and the NFL front office in Jerry Maguire?
The discussion agrees that while some elements are realistic, many aspects are Hollywoodized, and the real world involves more nuance, relationships, and strategic considerations than the movie depicts.
Minnesota Vikings future with or without Harrison Smith
Q: Doogie, what are you hearing about whether Harrison Smith will play this year?
The general sense is that Smith is staying in shape and there's a real possibility he returns, possibly mid-season, with the Vikings weighing a reduced role and the potential to mentor younger safeties like Jacoby Thomas.
