And The Kick Is Good!

Sometimes four quarters just ain't enough to decide a football game... unless you're Sean McDermott or Josh Allen that is,

With week five and Gruden news already fading into the background it was time to focus on what really matters - TikTok talk, family entourages and Defensive Player of the Year candidates.

There were also a bunch of games happening including the Jags' first win this season, multiple overtime games and various bad choices of which games to watch by Brad!

What a mess of a week it has been in the NFL.

Jon Gruden has stepped down as the Head Coach of the Raiders in the light of his extreme prejudice and yet it might have only come to light because he had issues with Goodell?

Then you have several teams shitting the bed, including another stonking highlight for the International Series in the Jets-Falcons.

Oh and players celebrating giving other players concussions, as well as a slew of injuries across the board impacting teams in a critical way.

So hop in and listen to us recant you the tales of Week 5 - it surely was one to remember!

Friday Night in Ohio is the place to be!

This week we cover the Urban Meyer shenanigans, much to the joy of Colum and the disappointment of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

There's also a breakdown of all the Week 4 games including the New York uprising, the evolution of Dak Prescott, the return of Bill Lazor playcalling (and a watchable Chicago Bears offence) and of course, more of Tom having to recap the Steelers.

It's a bumper episode, so pop a squat and get yourself ready for what to be on the lookout for in Week 5.

Sixty-six yards AND NOT AN INCH MORE.

It is a Kicker Leeague and Justin Tucker stands atop the mountain with a new NFL record that controversially saw the Ravens beat the Lions and we get all into that.

There were also game winning kicks across the weekend that sunk both the Giants and 49ers, leading to heartbreak for Colum and another trip into the void that is the 2021 Giants for Brad.

Plus the Steelers were an absolute trash fire once again, leading to Tom calling for more dynamite to blow it all up, while the Word of the Day elsewhere was 'shellacking' as there were plenty to go around, so join us as we regale you all that Week 3 had to offer.

Hello and welcome to the Week 2 review!

We have Brad popping by to dismantle the Giants and John Mara one more time and then Tom and Colum breaking down game-by-game reviews, dropping in some TikTok talk, injury updates, Frank Gore boxing stories and more.

There's also the early season narratives - Miami's struggles, Bills look not like AFC Championship calibre, the Jags being the worst team in football when the Texans exist and David Carr & Matt Rhule appreciation.

Remember to follow us @thekickisup on Twitter and we'll see you next week!

Colum and Tom cast their eyes back over all of week 1, and take a long time doing it. 

The pair discuss the new contract of the week, where Baker Mayfield stands in the quarterbacks rankings, and as always Colum makes a reference that goes straight over Tom's head.

Stay until the end for Brad's hearty dismantling of the Giants situation - it couldn't be the start of the season without one of those.

All that and more, on this episode of And The Kick Is Good!

With not even a sleep to go in time for the start of the season and a full house of hosts, it's a bumper last pod before the season begins in earnest.

We've got perhaps our greatest ever intro, a bum rush through the news, our hottest takes going into the season (and Tom's lame thoughts) as well as a look at a brand new way to play fantasy football at https://www.nflnondraftfantasyfootball.com/

There's many debates about which kicker to take, whether to draft Gus Edwards (we did) and in generala good time for all.

The pre-season is over and now we wait for the real action to begin...

And while we wait let's get into who's won all the starting jobs, take a last look at the rookies in pre-season, celebrate the success of Mac Jones and Rhamondre Stevenson which makes Brad one of the best scouts in the NFL (Tom's paraphrased words).

Football has nearly come home to Sunday nights, we just have the honour of Dallas versus Tampa to start us off on Thursdays before seven hours of glorious football for 18 Sundays. We're nearly there!!

It's the 50 burger and we're bringing back one of Brad's favourite and least favourite segments - the fantasy hits or misses!

That's right a year after decrying the RB2 (Dalvin Cook) and the TE7 (Rob Gronkowski), while hyping up the WR12 (Robert Woods) and TE13 (Hayden Hurst), Brad has decided to hang his hat on a few more names busting through and breaking down.

We also have a recap of the preseason QB battles - Winston versus Hill, Mac Daddy versus Cam, Lawerence versus Minshew and Fields versus Dalton - as well as the mandatory mention of Rhamondre Stevenson!

It's a bumper episode and we hope you enjoy - just remember to follow @thekickisup on Twitter and that nobody cares about your fantasy team (except maybe Brad)

Football is back baby!

Okay not all starters are playing, yes there's a lot 'let's get it done' but we've kicked up another gear to the NFL being back.

There's coverage of all those rookie QBs, the big plays, the guys that we called out in the draft (Rhamondre Stevenson anyone?) and a how bunch of news along the way - including a Colum house update!

So come along and remember to follow us @thekickisup on Twitter!
