With some breaking news dropping as of this morning, we had to jump in to the podcasting world to give our take on the New York Jets and New England Patriots landing star running backs, Dalvin Cook and Ezekiel Elliot, respectively.  

Along those same lines, we talk about the awkward running back situations around the league and who we think will win out in those training camp battles and ultimately who will produce for fans from a fantasy perspective.  We also breakdown awkward QB situations in both New Orleans and San Francisco who are having a tough time figuring out who'll be their #1 guy at the beginning of the season.

All of this and more including the controversy surrounding Michael Oher and "The Blind Side", so keep it locked in here for the latest  and greatest in NFL and Fantasy news!

See you next week!

Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post joins the podcast to talk about the Miami Dolphins and what he's seen thus far in training camp. He'll break down Tua, the injury to Jalen Ramsey, the Dalvin Cook rumors and more.

ITS TIIIIIIIIMEE!!  Your favorite football podcast is finally back!!

Today's "short" episode will discuss the ongoing issues with the running back market and whether or not the position is becoming obsolete in today's up-tempo style of play.  We can't help but feel like the fact that some of the elite options around the league (in both fantasy and real-life) have yet to sign with a team is indicative of where the league is headed and it's setting a scary precedent for future running backs.

With that said, we also discuss some notable fantasy players who've now moved teams this off-season (whether by trade or free agency) in our re-occurring segment "Stock Up/Stock Down" to let you know whether or not these players are in-line for a major boost in production or the exact opposite.   In the coming weeks, we'll be working through all of our fantasy advice as we ourselves prepare for our LIVE Fantasy Draft in Las Vegas on August 25th, so be on the lookout for information regarding that.

And finally, we HAVE to talk about Netflix's "Quarterback" starring 3 VERY different QB stories in Marcus Mariota, Kirk Cousins, and Patrick Mahomes in our review aptly named "Bad, Better, Best".  An interesting watch with some intense moments, and we could not recommend it more if you're a football fan.

Join us next week for more of your favorite football pod!
