The 5th Down: Fictional Football Fantasy Draft!

In two days, we've gotten so much free agency movement, that we had to split up all the news between Offense and Defense for this AND next week's pods.

SO, on today's episode we'll be diving into all of the pertinent offensive players on the move as of today 3/12/24, including:

⁃ Atlanta adding QB Kirk Cousins and WR Darnell Mooney after moving on from HC Arthur Smith.
⁃ Cleveland trading for WR Jerry Jeudy ending his tenure in Denver.
⁃ Cincinnatti signing RB Zach Moss and TE Mike Gesicki after trading RB Joe Mixon to the Houston Texans and amid rumors that Franchise-Tagged WR Tee Higgins wants a trade.
⁃ Baltimore snagging RB "King" Derrick Henry in free agency
⁃ Pittsburgh signing QB Russell Wilson and trading WR Diontae Johnson.
⁃ Minnesota signing RB Aaron Jones and QB Sam Darnold after losing Kirk Cousins to Atlanta.
⁃ New England signing RB Antonio Gibson, QB Jacoby Brissett, TE Chukwuma Okorafor, and TE Austin Hooper after trading Mac Jones.  They will also seemingly target a franchise QB at #3 in the draft with Drake Maye being the heavy favorite.
⁃ Las Vegas signing QB Gardner Minshew as their new stop-gap amid the recent release of QB Jimmy G.
⁃ Washington adding Kliff Kingsbury at OC, Veteran TE Zac Ertz, RB Austin Ekeler, and Backup QB Marcus Mariota, while also looking to draft their franchise QB at #2, as well as possibly trading QB Sam Howell.
⁃ Green Bay adding RB Josh Jacobs to bolster their young squad.
⁃ Philadelphia signing Division rival, RB Saquon Barkley to a long-term deal.
⁃ Jacksonville signing WR Gabe Davis and C Mitch Morse away from Buffalo.
⁃ Chicago signing RB De’Andre Swift and TE Gerald Everett after losing Darnell Mooney in Free Agency.  Also, heavily rumored to be looking to trade down in a move for #1 Overall WR Marvin Harrison Jr. and "sticking with" current QB Justin Fields.
⁃ New York Giants signing journeyman RB Devin Singletary.
⁃ Tennessee signing RB Tony Pollard to pair with RB Tyjae Spears.

We know, it's a LOT of news, but we assure you, this is only a small part of what's to come for NFL Free Agency, and we'll be back next week to break down the fit of all of the defensive additions from this week.  Until then, ONLY 25 weeks until NFL Football is back!

What a Superbowl that was, right?

Sorry for the extended break, but we are back to our monthly NFL football pod as we head into the offseason.  It was a crazy game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs, and we answer the question, everyone's been wanting to know.  Who is closer to the GOAT: Patrick Mahomes to Tom Brady OR Lebron James to Michael Jordan? Some people's answers MAY surprise you...

With that said, the news will come in slowly as we see more and more teams make cuts, trades, and signings heading into the official offseason, but be assured, we will track all of it for you and keep you updated monthly until we're a little closer to the start of the 2024-2025 Season, ESPECIALLY with Season 3 of THE LEAGUE scheduled to draft in Late-August just before the start of pre-season NFL football!

Until next month, 

Good Vibes and Love Peeps!

In this episode, the hosts discuss various topics including:

- The name change of the Superman movie
- The renewal of Avatar: The Last Airbender for Seasons 2 and 3
- The brand new trailer for Late Night with the Devil.

Anyway, please join us next week as we discuss the highly anticipated and critically acclaimed Shogun in our weekly review segment.  It's going to be a doozy!

See you then!

Another day, another Lebron James accolade. 40,000 points is nothing to scoff at, and Lebron has undoubtedly put himself into the conversation for one of the greatest players in NBA history, however there have been a lot of critics who point out that it was an accolade earned in yet another disappointing loss.  Today the guys discuss exactly what went wrong in that historic game and whether or not the accolade was worth the sacrifice.

Around the NBA we also discuss the candidates for Rookie of the year aka the Battle of the 7-footers as Victor Webanyama and Chet Holmgren are undoubtedly 1 and 2 respectively in that race.  Who will ultimately take the title? We can't wait to find out.

AND finally, we discuss the MVP race between two standouts as Luka Doncic and Jayson Tatum have presumably gone back and forth as the leading candidate for this year's award.  Who do we feel like has the upperhand? Should the success of the Boston Celtics hold more merit?  We discuss this and more on today's pod!

See you next week for even more NBA news!

All Star Weekend 2024 has just concluded and has been the talk of the NBA world amongst media and fans alike, but not for good reason.  After what seemed to be a welcome change in last year's All Star Format, Adam Silver and the brass of the NBA decided to re-format back to the original version of the NBA All Star Game. Pitting Eastern Conference All Stars vs Western Conference All Stars in 4 Quarters of Defense-less basketball. Unfortunately, this year's event saw a drop in interest and attendance from last year because of it's over-the-top style of play and overall lack of competition.  Even from the player's perspective it's become somewhat of a joke.  

While we are certainly just a small dedicated fan group, we couldn't help but come up with some solutions for Adam Silver and the team to ponder on, as we hope to draw more interest for future events and keep NBA All Star Weekend alive.  You're welcome NBA!  (And call us Adam Silver)

All jokes aside, we talk the events, how to fix them, and overall NBA news including the ongoing rivalry between Patrick Beverley and JJ Reddick regarding recent comments made by Doc Rivers.  Give it a listen and let us know YOUR fixes for NBA All Star Weekend on X with #PoiNSoy!

See you next week!
