Then in the second half of the podcast, we do a Defense Draft. We go around the horn and have a discussion ranking the best Defenses in the league, based on what we think they can do in 2016, with a draft format. This should make for some interesting discussion, some controversy, and fun as well.

We apologize again for not having a show in a bit, schedules were not coming together to be able to do this, but now it seems we’ve figured out something that works until we go back to doing the double shows pretty soon in July.

On today’s show, we discuss the latest news with Von Miller not happy with the contract offer from the Denver Broncos and if he really “won’t play under franchise tag.” We also talk Fletcher Cox signing a huge deal, Ron Rivera getting a three year extension, Darius Slay wanting to be paid, Darren McFadden’s injury, Keenan Allen getting an extension, Detroit Lions looking at Anquan Boldin, Brandon Marshall’s new deal and more.

Sorry for the one week off, but we were all very busy last week and let’s be honest, this is that lull in the season. We do have a few things to discuss, such as the accidental Aqib Talib shooting in Dallas, Texas, the Pro Bowl moving to Orlando for 2017, the New York Jets offering Ryan Fitzpatrick a few more million, the situations at both Baylor University and Ole Miss, the Big XII voting for a Conference Championship game and more.

This is basically a news edition of the podcast, but next week, we will get back on track with some topics and such.

We are back once again to talk about what’s going on in the NFL. The Jacksonville Jaguars got some bad news that Jalen Ramsey has a slight meniscus tear in his right knee and it could be minor or be a major issue, we discuss that, as well as more on a potential move to Las Vegas for the Oakland Raiders, the latest in Tom Brady’s deflategate suspension, fans not liking Aaron Rodgers hard counts, people not being big fans of Sam Bradford, and a few other things.

After this, we go through Round Robin style and rank the teams 1 to 32 on who has the best chance to win the Super Bowl during the 2016 season. Will the Broncos repeat again? Could the Patriots bounce back? Were the Carolina Panthers a one year wonder? Is it Carson Palmer’s time in Arizona? Where does your team rank? Tune in to find out.
