Punt Brothers from SB Nation

We're halfway through the NFL season, so that means it's time to run through every team in the league by asking SB Nation NFL editor Ryan Van Bibber one - and only one - question on each franchise! Questions like:

- Would you eat a stewed raven?

- Are the Vikings the best bad team in the NFL?

- What's happened to Philip Rivers?

- Will the Bucs finish last in the garbage heap we call the NFC South?

It's fun, unless you're a fan of a bad team, which really isn't our fault. Don't punish us for your bad choices.

The World Series is underway, and either the Giants or Royals will take home the most fragile-looking trophy in sports. We talk to Bill Hanstock about why the Giants are America's unloved cousin and Minda Haas about how the upper limit for playoff ticket prices in Kansas City does not exist. There's also dessert chatter, mayoral trivia, and a very Florida story.

Leaves are changing, Halloween is just around the corner, and that means one thing: college basketball season! 

Wait, no it doesn't. But we're talking to Brian Barbour about UNC hoops and Steve Pierce about BYU's basketball chances this year all the same, because we refuse to be constrained by your "calendar." Jane also rates random things by how Michigany they are. It's science!

What's the worst sandwich to get for Christmas? Which dead celebrity should you take to Disneyland? What SEC school is most like Newton's Third Law of Motion? Is going to law school a good idea? These and other important questions our listeners posed are answered by me, a confirmed idiot.

It's a huge weekend in college football, so I'm talking to writers who follow three of the teams with the most on the line: Bob Lynch of Red Cup Rebellion for Mississippi, Eric Murtaugh of One Foot Down for Notre Dame, and David from Rock Chalk Talk for Kansas. You damn right we talking Kansas.

Baseball playoffs are just around the corner, and Ryan needs a team to root for, because he's incredibly behind. And what better way to find a team to root for than to ask team bloggers to make the case for supporting the Dodgers, Tigers, Pirates, and Royals? There are literally dozens of better ways, you say? Huh.

Given what a sad and frustrating week or so it's been to be an NFL fan, Jon and Ryan decide to change pace this episode and talk with SB Nation contributor Jane Coaston about the problems with football and how we address them as people who love the sport.

Jon and Ryan spend one minute - and only one minute* - on each NFL team with SB Nation's resident handsomeness and fantasy football expert, Matt Ufford. Will Sammy Watkins be amazing? Can the Cowboys break the record for yards allowed? What is your favorite vegetable? And stick around for the end of the episode, where we have a special request for all our listeners.

*We go over a minute in one instance to make fun of Kenny Chesney.

Statistical virtuoso and good writerer Bill Connelly joins us to talk about muting college football broadcasts, which teams he thinks might over- and underachieve this season, why the Big 12 is unpredictable chaos, and which US Open player is best compared to UCLA. Plus, Jon answers reader questions that make no sense whatsoever!

Sarah Kogod tells us how pedicures lead to the best interviews, which NFC East team will frustrate its fans the most, why Rex Grossman has the greatest job, and whether Richard Sherman is more fun than pizza. Jon and Ryan also share their love of finding weird and sad NFL games.

(Obviously nothing is more fun than pizza.)
