James and Arif break down the messy victory over the Chiefs in this episode of Norse Code. We also talk about the Saturday Donut club expose' and the new Star Wars trailer.

ugh... this deal is getting worse all the time!

This episode of Norse Code is bursting with great analysis and mailbag questions from our listeners! James, Arif, and special guest Nate Manickavasagam go over the ins and outs of the upcoming Chiefs game and determine where Andy Reid will eat first when in town. We also discuss player matchups and have a fantastic mailbag! All this and a daily fantasy update from norsecodepodcast.com!

 

Andy Reid once participated in the punt pass and kick program and was really good. Seriously google the picture of him.  It's kind of amazing that he was in that at all with other "kids".

As we have no game to recap for the week Arif and James look at the NFC North team by team to determine the good, the bad, and the ugly. Questions to ask: are the teams good? Is there any other way to get an interception from Rodgers other than batting it at the line? Is Jim Caldwell moonlighting a softball team? All of these questions are answered and much more on this episode of Norse Code!

Homer: My father never believed in me! I'm not gonna make the same mistake. From now on I'm gonna be kinder to my son and meaner to my dad.

Welcome to your first bye-week from Norse Code! Arif and James talk all about the Gerald Hodges trade to San Francisco and breakdown the surprisingly winnable Denver game.

We usually bring you daily fantasy updates or tips during the first show of the week but this one we do things a little differently and bring on a special daily fantasy guest Davis Mattek (@davismattek). Davis owns a number of fantasy insider websites and plays professionally which made him the perfect person to bring on regarding the potential insider trading scandal that is blowing up everywhere. This interview is fantastic and a must-listen for DFS aficionados.

We even have a mailbag! So much show! Let's get started and subscribe now!

The second episode of the week comes with some hot takes on the AP/Ponder Poise-gazi. James, Arif, and special guest Benjamin Allbright preview the Broncos game and whether Brock Osweiler is up to the task once the Vikings take out Manning. And good news everyone!

On this very special episode of Norse Code Arif and James tackle all things Vikings/Chargers and discuss AP's return to form, the flying-V of pick-sixes by Chad Greenway, and the supposed Teddy-hate coming from all sides regarding his play. We also bring up how to be a better dad/parent at a game (especially if you're cheering for the opposing team).

Chef's Father: ...and I yelled, I said, "What do you want from us, monster?" And the monster bent down, and said, "I need about tree-fitty." [long pause] Kyle: What's tree-fitty? Chef's Father: Tree dollars, and fitty cents. Chef's Mother: Tree-fitty. Stan: He wanted money? Chef's Father: That's right. I said, "I ain't givin' you no tree-fitty, you goddamn Loch Ness Monster! Get your own goddamn money!" Chef's Mother: I gave him a dollar. Chef's Father: She gave him a dollar. Chef's Mother: I thought he'd go away if I gave him a dollar. Chef's Father: Well, of course he's not gonna go away, Mary! You give him a dollar, he's gonna assume you got more!

This is a very special episode of Norse Code. Due to Dusty's laptop going rogue on us Arif has a one-on-one interview with Kyle Posey of SBNation's Bolts from the Blue. This show is all about the upcoming game on Sunday and is a quite manageable length. Enjoy!

Why is it that if a man kills another man in battle, it's called heroic, yet if he kills a man in the heat of passion, it's called murder?

Arif and James return this week to break down the victory over the Lions, to discuss all things Ragnar(gazi), and to give daily fantasy sleepers now that DK and FD now officially sponsor everything in existence.

On this episode Arif and Dusty are joined by Detroit Lions beat writer Josh Katzenstein. They discuss the upcoming game between both 0-1 teams and what we should expect on Sunday. 

 

Apologies as we had to cut the show off a bit due to the Skype call going a little wonky. This will likely not be an issue moving forward.

James and Arif break down every angle of the Monday night loss against the 49ers including the strange usage of Adrian, Teddy's rookie-esque plays, Greenway's lack of speed, and the run defense that simply wasn't there. 

 

This one has more swearing than usual because it's hard to describe what was broadcasted by ESPN late Monday night without expletives. We apologize if you are offended by our language - we were offended by the play of the team.
