Arif and Dusty are joined by Internet sportswriter and giant nerd Ethan Hammerman as they recap the win over Washington and discuss the latest Adrian Peterson News before getting to the Norse Code 2nd Annual Midseason Awards, with some picks that are obvious and some that are ... well, less obvious.

Also, Dusty attempts to convince Ethan that Tom Brady is not the best quarterback of all time, or at least not better than Peyton Manning, with a controversial Number of the Week, plus a Mailbag covering the implications of AP's return to the Vikings.

This week, Arif and Dusty recap the nail-biter of a World Series before going on to recap the Tampa Bay win (well, "win" may be a generous term) and previewing Sunday's game against the Redskins.

Featuring a Number of the Week with Wildly Irresponsible Prognostication implications, and a Mailbag where your intrepid hosts learn that ketchup on a hotdog is considered strange, by some. Also, some new and disturbing facts about producer James Pogatshnik come to light.

Dusty is joined by Daily Norseman contributor Kyle Segall, who accuses Arif of ducking him before launching into a rant about why he hates the Tampa Bay Buccaneers more than any other football team. Dusty also gives Kyle a more detailed answer to his questions about coffee from earlier in the season.

Later, Feesh of the Bucs Brief Podcast and Arif join the panel, and conduct a detailed breakdown of why the Tampa Bay Bucs are not very good on either side of the ball. The panel attempts to psychoanalyze Josh Freeman, and some wildly irresponsible prognostications are made.

In this episode of Norse Code, James Pogatshnik and Arif Hasan discuss wild orgies, (in)accurate reporting, Thursday Night Football and the upcoming Vikings game against the Detroit Lions.

Arif and Dusty are joined by Bleacher Report's Justis Mosqueda to make some wildly irresponsible prognostications, and Arif and Dusty tackle an extended version of the Mailbag just in time for Thursday night's game.

Arif and Dusty are joined by returning guest and rehabilitating Packers fan Justis Mosqueda to break down the total destruction of the Atlanta Falcons by PEANUT BUTTER TEDDY WITH A BASEBALL BAT and preview an epic divisional matchup between two teams badly battered by injury, one of which is somewhat used to it.After a brief discussion over who deserves a hat scribbl autographed by Arif the most and discussing the power of beard choice preferences, the panel agrees that Thursday's game was why they came together quickly on a Monday night to podcast, and also that X team would be likely to beat Y spread if they wanted to gamble on the game's outcome, which they wouldn't. Ever.

Arif, Dusty, and James complete episode 50 with the latest on Adrian Peterson's legal woes, the cozy relationship between the Ravens and the league front office, and tackle the features we have grown to know and love over the last 50 (or more than that, as Dusty correctly identifies) episodes: Number of the Week, Wildly Irresponsible Prognostications, and a Mailbag featuring Gerald Hodges, dog diahrrea, and Arif's hair in the wind.

In this very special 50th episode of Norse Code, Arif and Dusty are joined by producer James Pogatshnik as they break down last weekend's Saints game, and James and Arif sit down with Falcons blogger Jeanna Thomas of Falcoholic, the SBNation Atlanta Falcons blog, to preview the Falcons game this weekend.

If you're going to the game on Sunday, make sure to follow @NorseCodeDN for your chance to meet James and win a Vikings hat autographed by Arif!

The entire Adrian Peterson indictment and ensuing scandal happened between episodes, which almost defies belief. This week, Arif and Dusty tackle the new biggest story about NFL players committing acts of domestic violence, as well as the shoehorning of football action words into off-field contexts. If you've had enough of the whole sordid mess, it ends at 36:00 in the show. You can skip to that point if you like, but we think you shouldn't/wish you wouldn't.A breakdown of last week's Patriots game ensues (Cliffs notes: Ethan was right), followed by a preview of the Saints game this Sunday (Cliffs notes: The Vikings could easily beat the 10.5pt spread).Also in this episode: Arif and Dusty react to breaking news on Twitter, a Ratio of the Week, and a mailbag with shocking pun-related predictions.

Show notes and more digital multimedia content can be found at the Norse Code website.

The next episode of Norse Code is up and ready to go, just in time for you to preview the first home regular season game this year, against the New England Patriots with SB Nation Pats Pulpit and Draft Mecca contributor Ethan Hammerman.
