On this episode of 40/40 Shorts, we explore a painful what if for Raiders fans and discuss what life would be like if they beat the Baltimore Ravens in 2000 or won the infamous "Tuck Rule" game in 2001.

This game birthed the legend of Tom Brady and set the tone for the next 20+ years for the Raiders as they began an era of mediocrity after their Super Bowl loss the following year. Take a trip down memory lane with us and find out what could have been!

On this episode of 40/40 Shorts, we explore the tantalizing "what if" scenario that shaped the fate of the Golden State Warriors in the 1990s as we delve into an alternate reality where the Warriors never traded Chris Webber.

In the early 1990s, Webber's arrival as the number 1 pick injected a formidable force into the Warriors' lineup, creating a dynamic duo alongside Latrell Sprewell. Unfortunately, due to the NBA not having a rookie salary structure in place, he was able to leave after just one season and went on to have a Hall of Fame career with several other teams before eventually retiring as a Warrior in 2007. This episode discusses what life could have been for the Warriors if they held on to their generational big man instead of letting him go.

On this episode of The 40/40 Vision Podcast, we dive in to a pit of misery and torture and talk about the most tortured fanbases in the NFL. We categorize the teams into fun categories rather than ranking them and cover why these teams get the "Nothing but Torture" or "Light at the End of the Tunnel" labels.

Join us on a trip down to the dungeons of NFL fandom and see if your team makes the list in these two categories and stay tuned for Part 2 next week!

On this episode of 40/40 Shorts, we dive into why the superstar NFL running back is a dying breed due to a combination of QBs becoming cooler, the league becoming more wide open, and backs being asked to do less running than ever before.

A few high profile backs like Josh Jacobs and Saquon Barkley have been franchise tagged by their teams and haven't been able to agree to a long-term deal because of all these unfortunate factors. It's a tough break for these backs but on this pod we discuss why this is the evolution of the NFL and why you shouldn't get attached to your favorite team’s starting RB no matter how good he is.
