Surviving Snyder

It turns out, Eagles and Colts executives aren't the only people to question Carson Wentz' leadership. Survivor fan favorite and Indianapolis superfan, Figgy (Jessica Figueroa), joins the podcast to talk about her experience watching Washington's new quarterback captain the Colts' epic late season failure. Speaking of epic failures, this week's Survivor had it all -- misplaced idols, misplayed advantages, abandoned challenges, and bungled negotiations. Figgy, Dalton, Rick, and Brendan discuss all this and more on this week's episode.

Apparently, the Washington Commanders decided to make like Survivor and start voting people off this week, cutting players left and right to free up cap room. Dalton, Rick, and Brendan weigh in on all the big moves, including the return of a player that seemed already out the door. Is the team roster better off than it was two weeks ago? We debate and discuss. Then, we break down the second episode of Survivor 42 and try to explain the maddening (and self-destructive) practice of contestants telling other contestants about their advantages. Plus: Tips for future contestants on how to get more screen time! Time codes below:

After getting slapped around by the hands of time over the weekend, Brendan laments his newly minted old-man status. Dalton, Rick, and Brendan react to the shake-up in NFL broadcast teams by ranking their favorite and least favorite play-by-play announcers and color commentators. It turns out not everyone loves Tony Romo in the booth. Later, the guys discuss the non-quarterback related moves the Commanders need to make this off-season. A few blockbuster trades are in the mix as the guys tackle the team's biggest problems.

We start out with more thoughts on the Washington Commanders and the latest news on the still changing team crest before delving into the latest accusations against team owner/walking P.O.S. Dan Snyder and whether his terrible tenure may finally be coming to an end due to the latest allegations against him. We then pay tribute to Hall of Famer Charley Taylor and quick hit the retirement of tight ends coach Pete Hoener. Those are all mere appetizers for the main course, however, as we let loose with Evvie Jagoda and Tiffany Seely from Survivor 41 to get the dynamic (and possibly drunk) duo’s thoughts on the cast for Survivor 42. HOT TAKES ABOUND!!! Time codes below for all parts of the discussion.

The guys are as happy as goats on astroturf that Naseer is joining the show from San Francisco.  He tells us what the atmosphere was like for the NFC Championship and gives us a behind the scenes look at his secret diabolical gameplay on season 41.  Then the guys discuss the Commanders uniform updates, Snyder accusers in front of congress, and what to expect from the Super Bowl.

Hail to the Red and Black?! Rick, Dalton, and Brendan do a deep dive into the name, the uniforms, the logo, and the leaky ship that brought us to today’s big reveal. The guys weigh in on where Commanders ranks on the list of best (or worst) NFL brands.  

Speaking of ranks, two-time Survivor castaway and longtime NFL stalwart, Brad Culpepper, joins the podcast to discuss where his neighbor, Tom Brady, ranks among the all-time greats. Brad tells amazing stories from his time in the league, reflects on life after football, and talks about his time on the island.

If you thought Aaron Rodgers putting only 10 points up at home would change Brendan’s opinion on Aaron Rodgers being the best QB of all time… think again! Brendan doubles down on his argument that Rodgers is the best ever, playoff success be damned! It’s an intense heated debate you do not want to miss. Then, the fellas also discuss the best weekend of football ever, especially that epic Chiefs vs. Bills matchup. Should the overtime rules be changed, and if so, what SHOULD the OT rules be? We then finish up by naming our favorite Washington Football Team playoff game ever. Dalton and Brendan have plenty to choose from. Rick, not so much? Time codes below on all the action.
