And The Kick Is Good!

We're nearly there (well by the time this is live we are there!) and pre-season football is upon us. That's right, it's time to get real familiar with your third string WRs and practice squad linebackers because it's football time!

In the meantime we have you covered with all the news - from Kirk Cousins becoming a bank teller, the Hall of Fame Game, Peyton Manning for Commish & 'Are they making more money than Fred Warner?' aka new contract talk.

Join us won't you for the last episode of the pre-pre-season. It's finally here!

That's right - Brad's out this week and Tom is in the kitchen!

It's another week of news - this time COVID Edition as you have the Vikings with a COVID outbreak, Kirk Cousins being decidedly anti-vax, heads coaches losing their respective minds at key players and Lamar Jackson getting COVID for a second time.

There's also discussion of that Aaron Rodgers press conference and the return of Randall to the home that he calls Green Bay!

Regular editing excellence will resume next week.

Training camps have started and the news oh it is a flowing.

Decisions were made across the league from both the league, teams and players. Whether it's potential forfeited games, contracts being signed, players being traded or if you're scared to put a needle in your arm and get a boo boo - there's a lot to get into this week, so we got into it!

It's a bumper week for news (and even more coming next week!) as we have stolen cars, historical records and franchise tags!

That's right the deadline for those on the tag has passed and instead we're looking at what that means for th e teams and players who are now on the hook for payment. Will they be there in 2022? How many hot takes can Brad throw out? Listen and find out!

There's a lot of land available in Ohio and only one man has the perfect blend of football, real estate and Amazon distribution centre knowledge to know what to do with it... somehow it's Brad? We have no idea either.

We also cover the all week's news, as problematic as it is, and like most Patriots fans we try really hard to forget about N'Keal Harry, while like most 49ers fans, Colum is determined to talk about this WR3 'with upside'.

Just a few more weeks of the off-season to go. We're nearly there!

It's time to play matchmaker - which team or player would benefit from  moving to another team in their divsion? We have our takes and we try to stay away from moving Mahomes to the Broncos or Donald to the Cardinals... alright one of us does that and it's Brad.

We also cover a variety of news items from contract extensions, contract valuations versus reality and also the lack of actual punishment for the Washington Football Team.

Oh and there's also a new segment - TikTok talk!

Remember to follow us on Twitter @thekickisup and that it's coming home!

It's time for another stellar episode of 'Who's That Motherf'er?' That's right your favourite podcast topic put forth by none other than the GOAT himself, Tom Brady.

As you can tell it's another slow week of news and instead we focus on just who Tom Brady called a motherf'er as he recalled his ventures into free agency.

We also look into the elite breakouts on the defensive side of the ball, including James Bradberry (Brad writes these).

We're still edging closer to the start of the NFL season, so why not keep building up the hype and start looking at some guys who we think can break out this season and become the elite amongst their peers!

This week we'll look at the offensive side of the ball and also talk about subjects like vaccinations, Twitter declarations & also - who played the clarinet (in this one advert Colum thinks he saw within the past 10 years)?

Find out this and more in the latest episode of And The Kick Is Good - find us on Twitter at @thekickisup.

What do you remember about the 2020 NFL Season? Brady winning it all again? Josh Allen MVP shout? The Steelers being the last remaining undefeated team? TJ Watt as a viable DPOY candidate?

We go over some of the things you may have missed, including an appearance from two of our loves on the podcast, while Colum chimes in with references that go over Tom's head aplenty.

It's finally happened - Julio has left the building... or at the very least Mercedes-Benz Stadium and is on his way to Tennessee.

That's right after weeks (if not months) of rumours and speculation, a big trade has happened in the NFL and we can get down to brass tax on just how it effects both teams.

Will the Titans now expect Superbowl or nothing? How bad will it get for the Falcons now? How long does Matty Ice have left in Atlanta? We cover all this and more!
