Episode 35: 10 years of shenanigans
You blink and 10 years go by, ya know? We put our first episode out into the world on 4/4/2014 and came back on 4/4/2024 to record from the place where it all started, World Famous Paul & Eddie’s Monte Vista Inn. We were joined by Brian “Schmizzy” Schmoldt, long-suffering-no-more Browns fan, and craig Alimo, world’s most reasonable Patriots fan. With craig being on the episode, we don’t know who’s actually ever going to listen to this, but let’s not kid ourselves and think that’s any different than how it’s been for the last decade of drunkenly swearing into the void, er…podcasting.
The concept for this episode is that we all created our dream rosters using as our pool all of the 1st round picks from the last 10 NFL drafts. There was agreement. There were differences. As per usual, Noor’s takes were most wise while Andrew’s were in places…questionable (where, by “questionable,” we mean “Fred Warner was a 2nd rounder”). #FacePalm

Episode 34: Team needs? Skoden!
Noor, especially (but what else is new?), offers up airtight statements about the needs of our favorite teams going into free agency and the draft. That is, after Andrew makes him relive the horror (from Noor’s perspective) that was Superb Owl LVIII. As per uzh, Andrew makes everything about the Seahawks, but Noor salvages the day by bringing the knowledge on the topics of the day.
Don’t miss our 10th anniversary episode, recording on 4/4/24 and available as soon as Andrew sobers up afterwards!

Episode 33: Week 1 [over]reactions!
It is well-documented that week 1 is a liar. Do not trust week 1. Yet, here we are, after the first weekend of the NFL season with both doubts and hopes, attempting to make sense of it all. Join us as we attempt to navigate the feels.

Episode 32: Draft hype edition!
We’re less than 2 weeks out from the 2023 NFL Draft, so of course Andrew would choose to talk about…Dougal Robertson?! He tries to make a connection to the Seahawks’ fortunes over the last 12 months, but like so many of John Schneider’s picks over the years it’s a stretch. Thankfully, Noor brings actual analysis to bear on the myriad possibilities of draft season. No one does the off-season like the NFL and for whatever reason it’s when we do our best work, too. Join us for one craig-commute’s worth of football chatter.

Episode 31: Wherein we talk for an hour and a half about quarterbacks…
NFL quarterback is the most demanding position in all of sport, right? So, it makes sense for us to talk for an hour and a half about who’s rising, who’s falling, who’ll end up where, right? Don’t answer that…

Episode 30: Looking ahead (mostly)
Always wanting to give the people what they want, this episode is 2 of Craig’s commutes long. You’re welcome. Noor graciously starts us off by asking Andrew to recap his overachieving Seahawks before we spend most of the episode looking ahead, to the coming weekend, to the rest of the playoffs, and briefly to next year’s draft. We even give a preview of our next episode! (Assuming it doesn’t take us another 9 months to record…)

Episode 29: And here you thought you were done with us…
Noor went out for a pack of cigarettes and…wait, that’s a different story. In this timeline, somehow we forgot to podcast for 2 years. Who does this? Us, apparently.
Well, you can’t get rid of us that easily. We’re back and better than ever! If, by better than ever, you mean the same conversational NFL chit chat you’ve come to love over our 8 years in existence, except this time with some USFL thrown in for good measure!
It’s NFL draft season, so of course we break that down after discussing the bevy of high-profile trades that have happened this offseason.
You won’t want to miss it, Craig. Everyone else? Hard to say.

Episode 28: NFL Draft Recap
Everyone remembers their first time and hopefully so it will be for our guest, Bicky Bhullar, someone who, considering he is friend and family to Andrew and Noor, shouldn’t have taken 5 years to get on the ’cast. Our apologies, Bicky, but we made up for lost time by spending 2 hours talking through an exhaustive if a little meandering recap of the recent NFL Draft. You’d think we’d have spent time on the radically different format, how GMs were making picks from their basements, but no, we actually pretty much stick to football for the whole episode. I think that’s a first for us. We should have this Bicky guy on more often.

Episode 27: 5th Anniversary Episode!
As Noor so aptly put it, “time flies when you’re putting out an episode and a half a year.” It was exactly 5 years ago that we published our first episode. In that time, we’ve made a lot of predictions and if we were more organized we’d have gone through some of them and compared them to what actually ended up happening. But we’re not, so instead we talk about this pretty unprecedented free agency with a QB carousel like we’ve never seen, including going into a fair bit of depth about the ramifications for Noor’s Niners and Andrew’s Seahawks, before pivoting to the draft that is soon to be upon us. Not ones to stay completely focused, we end up debating what constitutes a draft bust before wrapping up with a quick discussion of how the NFL league year might play out amid the ongoing global pandemic. All that and we kept it under an hour and a half. Maybe we are getting better at this?

Episode 26: Name, image & likeness, an interview with sports antitrust economist Andy Schwarz
Sport occupies a central space in the American psyche. We tell ourselves all manner of myth about our heroes who wage symbolic combat on our behalf. One of these is that our sports are only pure if the combatants are “amateurs,” but how does that make sense in a world where a member of the marching band can be paid to play a music gig without risking her music scholarship, but the point guard on the basketball team can’t be compensated for signing an autograph without being barred from her sport?
On Andy Schwarz’s first day at his first job out of grad school, he was handed 10 depositions and told to make sense of Al Davis’ ill-fated 1995 lawsuit against the NFL. The Raiders lost the suit and Schwarz’s career was launched. In the 24 years since, he’s worked on some of the highest-profile sports antitrust cases of our times.
For the last half decade, Andy has worked tirelessly to right the imbalance of power that exists between the business of college sports and the athletes who the NCAA currently prevents from profiting from their oftentimes fleeting fame on the gridiron, court, and pitch.
A major milestone in this work was realized on September 30 of this year when California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law SB-206, legislation unanimously passed by the California State Assembly that prevents colleges and universities in the state from restricting a college athlete’s ability to be compensated for the use of their name, image, and likeness.
Andy helps us make sense of it all through the course of a wide-ranging interview that includes going into some depth on his latest venture, The Historical Basketball League, an attempt again to give college athletes a fair shot at fair compensation.
If you’ve ever wondered what the difference is between a “league” and a “cartel” then this is the podcast for you!

Episode 25: What is this, the NBA?!
So many trades! Noor and Andrew talk through recent trades, including putting on our GM hats and making idle speculation about other possible trades ahead of the deadline next week. Andrew, once again, butchers a player’s name and gets a division wrong, but it’s endearing, right? No, no it’s not. But both listeners will tolerate it. We hope. Oh, and we might have another project in the works….

Episode 24: Wait, we actually remembered what episode it was?
You know that thing where we stumble over what episode it is, like, each and every episode? Well, we didn’t do that this time! I know, right? We’re getting better at this podcasting thing!
And, a propos of the season, we actually spend the majority of our time on Fantasy Football concerns. What a concept! With Ben & Drew out for extended periods and Stafford on Andrew’s bench, we strategize how to get the most value out of possible trades at this pivotal point in the season.
Then we talk real football. The NFL is becoming more like the NBA every day in terms of the balance of power between players and owners. Is that a good thing? Listen to find out!
Andrew tries to lure Noor into a bet about whether Miami wins a game. Who wins the war of wills?! #TeamTesla or #TeamSubaru?!

Episode 23: Story lines, Dynasty, and Rookies…oh my!
As the NFL enters its 100th season, there are some historic story lines on the horizon. We talk about some of the all-time greats who should move up in the record books this season. Next, we get a little sidetracked talking about a possible work stoppage at the end of the season before pivoting to an explanation by Noor of the dynamics of a “dynasty” fantasy football league (not to be confused with a “keeper” league) compared to a traditional “re-draft” league. We wrap by talking about what promise we’ve seen in the rookies on our respective teams this off-season.

Episode 22: 5th Anniversary Edition!
What better way to celebrate 5 years of podcasting than mocking a team’s new uniforms? (With apologies to our good friend and Jets fan, Jayson, who we will have as a guest on a future episode!) Thankfully, we quickly pivot to lamenting the lame way the nascent AAF was managed. Can we please have spring football that lasts more than 80% of a season? After beating that dead horse, Andrew eventually segues the conversation to a bizarre fantasy of his Seahawks trading their best player to division rival, Arizona, for the possibility of taking Kyler Murray #1 overall. (Seattle fans should be glad Andrew’s not your GM.) We talk NFL Draft for a bit, including Noor’s take on the Niners’ needs, then ponder Matt LeFleur’s chances of success taking over coaching duties for Green Bay and the mercurial Aaron Rodgers. Basically, we’re all over the place. But what else is new?

Episode 21: Not that that means anything
Wherein we consider a rebranding as the NFL Outsiders, but instead spend over an hour dissecting the AFC, and in fact mostly the AFC North. Don’t judge, there’s a lot to talk about!
We welcome again our good friend, Brian Schmoldt, Cleveland Browns season ticket holder. 14 months after going 0-16, the Browns are poised to take over the AFC North. Andrew almost commits to buying season tickets...

Episode 20: Worst Super Bowl, really?
My god, we don’t exactly get right to the point. Who’s your Batman? How does that pertain to football? Well, let us take you on a little journey back to the 1980s and somehow manage to bring it back to the 2019 Super Bowl. Was this really the worst football in recent memory? Here, let us tell you whether that’s the case. We know. We’ll tell you. (Hint: It was neither the worst, nor the best.)
In any case, we spend an inordinate amount of time on this Superb Owl because there’s (let’s be honest) a lot to talk about. Eventually, we move on to talking about the future: draft needs, the draft, who’s going to take whom in the draft. Hope springs eternal and we take solace in that. Join us. Please. Thank you.

Episode 19: NFL Playoff Predictions (Mostly)
We actually kick things off by talking about an entertaining NCAAF national championship game that showcased upwards of 2 dozen future NFL draft picks. We then move on to recap a wild Wildcard Weekend and make our picks for the remainder of the NFL playoffs. We can’t help ourselves and delve a little into the drama in Pittsburg before teasing a possible episode from the NFL Draft in Nashville. (Spoiler alert: Don’t hold your breath for that one, but do plan to meet us in Vegas for the draft in 2020!)
