     Welcome back if you're a avid listener and welcome if you are a new one! We are glad that you are listening regardless of how long or not long you have been here. All that matters is you care enough about us that you choose to listen to the fellas spew about the sad reality that the NFL season is one game away from completion.

    When speaking of the end of an NFL season, you usually think about the Super Bowl. But slow your roll! Of course we talk about the big game, but we also made time to talk about the controversial, yet somehow entertaining Pro Bowl! We guarantee that you didn't expect to hear about this glorified flag football game, but you should always expect the unexpected on this podcast.

    Speaking of the expected, we, just like every other sports podcast in America right now, are absolutely swooning thinking about this off season and where the quarterback merry-go-round will spin, and we are just excited to be able to keep up with whats going on.

     If you follow us for our sports take, god bless you. But you probably became a fan of the Backyard because you yourself, are in the hobby of collecting sports cards. There was some MASSIVE news in the hobby, having do with Fanatics and their future plans for live breaks, sports cards, and the sports memorabilia world. It would be a disservice to all of you, if this massive news went untouched by us. 

And with the cherry on top, Big Zach leaves us off with the word of the day to wrap up this weeks episode. We hope you enjoy listening, but if you didn't enjoy listening, tell us why, and we can possibly make some changes to benefit the listeners and also ourselves! 

      On this episode, we are joined by a TRUE gentlemen and Backyard enjoyer, Hoyt! He is a prominent member of the WhatNot crew. Our very own Backyard Brett pulled the 1/1 Babe Ruth cut auto for him. At the beginning of the episode, he gives us a brief history lesson about the Babe Ruth auto and how it changed over the years. You develop a separate interest in these things because you see just how cool something like that truly is when you find out their's history behind it.

     From then on, we delve into the two games that took place that weekend, one with MUCH more emphasis than the other, which I am sure you can decipher what we are talking about. The first game was the NFC Championship between the 49ers and Eagles, which finished 31-7 sending the Eagles back to the promise land. On the opposite side of the spectrum, the MASSIVE controversy surrounding the officiating that took place during the Bengals and Chiefs AFC Championship game which came down to the wire, and was settled with a game-winning FG from the Chiefs just edging the Bengals out 20-23.

     We set some time aside to discuss the issues that many people had with this game and broke it down from a casual viewers standpoint. Then came the brainstorming about how this could happen in such an important game, potential changes to prevent this from happening in the future, and if their were outside interests or involvement that interfered with the sanctity of the sport. 

     Before you ask, yes, we did another Super Bowl prediction. You knew it would happen, I am just doing you the favor of letting you know ahead of time. Then came FA implications for TONS of quarterbacks who are looking for new home this off-season, the draft and how those first round picks will shake up the league. We then tiptoed into the cap space increase and what is necessary for QB's now-a-days in order to try and build a super team that can continually win, rather than those who seek a max contract.

     This episode is a bit longer, but it's filled to the brim with juicy content to keep you informed on everything going on in the sports media world! We hope you enjoy, and remember that we are ALWAYS open to suggestions about talking points. If there is something you want us to discuss, leave a comment or reach out to us through Twitch chat and we can definitely try it out.

     Come one, come all. Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, we would like to thank you for lending us your ears and giving this podcast a listen! We have of course Grant, joined by Bugzy, and they are joined by special guest, Big Zach. 

     We briefly discuss the Jaguars and Chiefs playoff game, which would then lead to us getting off track, which we usually do, and we dive deep into how dominant Chiefs Tight End, Travis Kelce is, and his ability to completely take over a game. He tallied 14 catches for 98 yards and 2 touchdowns in the Chiefs Win to send them to their fifth straight AFC championship.

     After all the Kelce talk, this spurred a star-studded tier list of the top 5 Tight Ends in NFL History, needless to say, the list was stacked but everyone could agree on the correct order for the top 5 (for the most part) . Then came potential landing spots for Aaron Rodgers, being that he is one of the most talked about potential FA's that could be on the move this offseason.

     Then come predictions for the upcoming AFC & NFC Championship games that will be taking place this weekend. We all knew it was going to be discussed because we love football, and if we aren't watching it, we are talking it. We also take into account the effect that these games will have on the hobby in the future, because these 4 Quarterbacks are all sought after players within the card world. Not to mention the financial implications that their success will induce on prices of the product that these players are in.

     And to wrap it all up, Grant takes a trip down memory lane to his High School glory days with an anecdote about how he became the talk of the school with his All-American athletic capabilities, while simultaneously tarnishing a Teacher's reputation in the process.

 So pour up a chilled glass of your favorite milk and drift off into serenity with this one because we think you're going to whole-heartedly enjoy listening!  

Howdy partners,

     Welcome back to another installment of the Backyard Bro's podcast, brought to you by absolutely nobody! It was truly a wild, wild weekend in the NFL, hence the name, super wild card weekend! It certainly lived up to the billing. With the season coming to a close, we briefly touch on Bugzy's horrible stretch of going 1-11 on his picks for the past two weeks!

     As time runs out on the NFL season, Bugzy and G-money discuss the games from the weekend and future matchups for the divisional round. We then delve into the absolutely insane trip to TIAA Bank field to watch the CRAZIEST come back in the playoffs and how it went down. We also discuss  the preparations we need to take in order to travel to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City to watch Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars attempt to upset the Kansas City Chiefs at home. With playoffs, comes Super Bowl predictions and the boys discuss who we would most and least like to see in the big game, you can take a guess on how that went.

    We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it for you! Stay tuned next week for the breakdown of the (hopefully) chaotic and SUCCESSFUL trip to unchartered territory, that is the great state of Missouri and our encounters with the (hopefully) hospitable Chiefs fans!

Bugzy, Grant, and the Godfather talk the ol' pigskin. Wild Card weekend is upon us and the boys give us their picks and predictions for the six games this weekend.

Grant, Bugzy, and Jonah recap the madness that was Week 18. 

Jonah kicked off the show by explaining how he lost $1,000 to Grant over the weekend. The boys also discuss the future of Derek Carr. Also, residential Dolphins fan, Jonah, talks about the Dolphins matchup this weekend and debates Tua’s future. They brought to light a few theories they have for the playoffs and the upcoming offseason. In the end, you guessed it, Grant talks himself into a possible Jags Postseason run and compares Trevor Lawrence to several other elite QBs. 

Grant, Bugzy, and The Godfather return following an action-packed week 17 in the NFL.

A tribute to Bills Safety, Damar Hamlin, opened the show. Following the opening, Grant discussed his great appreciation for Doug Pederson. Nick and Grant shined a light on the Bucs winning the division and a theory that they could end up meeting the Packers in the NFC championship game. They also discussed the downfall of the Miami Dolphins since week 12 and Mike McDaniel’s swag. In the end, they compared certain players to one another. Bugzy closes out the show with a code phrase of his own. 

     Well, well, well, the chickens have come home to roost and we are making a massive omelette with this episode of the Backyard Bro's podcast! We hope you all had an amazing holiday filled with joy, and spent plenty of time with friends and family. With that being said, lets get straight into the nitty gritty.

The boys briefly touch on some of the MASSIVE hits from eminence and how other hobby dwellers feel about it. 

     We jump right into the amazing/boring games from the weekend slate on Saturday and Sunday, the results of those games and the implications that they will have on those teams playoff chances (if they had any) 

     Potential playoff brackets and the possible changes that could take place with the last two games of the season before playoffs. Grant & Nicky also give their AFC, NFC and Super Bowl predictions. As well as potential travel plans to go to these playoff games if two certain teams end up making it out (I'm sure you could guess the two teams in question)
