E015 - Blame it on the Football


Listen Later

In this weeks episode, The Sweats lace up their cleats and apply their eye black as they gear up for football season! The guys kick things off by detailing what they love most about football season. Ryan says he loves how football elevates Sunday as a day of the week, Derick says he likes how football Sunday acts as an “anchor” for his week and Chris says football Sunday helps to mitigate the “Sunday scaries.” Also, that diet you’ve been on? Yeah, you can toss that right out the window on football Sunday. Enjoy all the wings, sandwiches, pizza and beer you can consume. The guys audible to a discussion about fantasy football and their love hate relationship with it. Each Sweat names their first overall pick if they had the option. SPOILER ALERT: their unanimous first overall pick, to nobody’s surprise, rhymes with Dustin Hefferson. Chris says he always prefers drafting an elite receiver over an elite running back especially in a PPR format. Ryan says he’s all “Bijan’d up” in reference to Bijan Robinson despite him being an unproven rookie. And Chris talks about his “big boy” auction draft that sounds way too complicated for Ryan and Derick. The guys wrap up the fantasy discussion by naming their boom and bust players going into the season. Ryan names Devonta Smith as his boom despite struggling to say his name, and names Derrick Henry as his bust. Derick names Bijan Robinson as his boom and Christian McCaffrey (gasp) as his bust. Chris names Calvin Ridley as his boom and Stefon Diggs (double gasp) as his bust. The guys call another audible and pivot to real life football as they talk about the upcoming season for the NFL and their beloved Philadelphia Eagles. The guys go through the Eagles’ schedule and provide completely unbiased  opinions as they predict wins and losses. The Sweats end the episode by giving their very early and completely unbiased Super Bowl and NFL MVP predictions. GO BIRDS!!!!
