Jamie and Matt get caught up on two wildly disparate weeks of WFT football. Much of the conversation focuses on the vaguely confusing concept that the offense is "fun" and maybe even "good," which neither of us quite knows how to handle. From there, it's a bit of a ramble across topics including the bad loss to Buffalo, the crazy win over Atlanta, and the DEA raid on the team's facility. The closing non-WFT wrap-up is brief and spoiler-free this week, with a nod to Mare of Easttown and a discussion of The Ringer's place in the modern media constellation. Plus you will learn the difference between a haiku and a senryu! The thrills never stop in the Mr. Irrelevant universe.

Jamie and Matt try to discuss a truly weird football game, and determine if they leave the WFT's win feeling good (Heinicke! Offensive signs of life!) or not-so-good (Because, really, the Giants should've won that game eight separate times and the WFT defense looks DREADFUL). They don't discuss anything else this week, because the game is more than enough.

Jamie and Matt discuss (YET ANOTHER) disappointing Week 1 loss. They look at (AGAIN) an underperforming defense. They consider (FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME) what the loss of the starting QB means. Matt is dreary (FOR A CHANGE). Then they talk about some movies, some streaming, and the sudden ubiquity of the phrase "understood the assignment". It's a real thrilling podcast (OF COURSE).

Jamie and Matt look back at the preseason, which Jamie has largely been ignoring, and forward to the regular season, which Jamie is pretty optimistic about despite (or maybe because of??!?) ignoring the preseason.

Jamie and Matt discuss how everyone's military football dad Ron Rivera made out in this draft. Turns out that while high-character, athletically-gifted  football players with positional flexibility may pay off in-season, they don't make for the most exciting draft classes to discuss. Nevertheless, discuss we do. Also mentioned (briefly, toward the end): Invincible, on Amazon Prime; Yellowstone, on Jamie's DVR.

Jamie and Matt get together for quick pod in response to the Washington Football Team signing a QB. It's Fitzmagic Time, and everyone is perhaps more excited than a 38 year old journeyman QB really warrants, so those feelings get hashed out. Only brief digressions at the end, as Matt recommends a Taylor Swift deep-dive podcast, and Jamie contemplates exploring a new facet of nerdery. 

Jamie and Matt discuss a bunch of stuff, including: 

And probably other things that we're forgetting to list. Who can say, really?

Matt and Jamie run through a whollllllllllllllllllllllllle long list of potential QBs for the 2021 Washington Football Team. There's also a discussion of odd punctuation, and at the end a brief but EXTREMELY SPOILERY discussion of Disney+'s WandaVision.

Jamie and Matt look back on a truly entertaining end to a truly bizarre football season, then forward to what will probably be just another typical football offseason. If you listen for the non-WFT stuff, this is going to be a pretty disappointing pod (unless you're very excited about the Nationals' hot stove, in which case skip forward to the last, like, three minutes of the episode).

Jamie and Matt discuss the WFT win, the Eagles tank, the matchup against Tampa, the outlook for the future, and plenty of other football stuff. Then it's a little Wiz, a little Bean Dad, and a very little pre-WandaVision planning. But mostly discussion of the NFC East champion Washington Football Team. Man, that sounds weird.
