NFL Preseason Power Rankings - 8/27/20

The most accurate Power Rankings of NFL teams is presented to you courtesy of PodVader and the SuperFans - James (Eagles), Neil (Washington), Monty (Raiders) and Jordan (Titans). All the SuperFans presented their preseason rankings and then our numbers nerds crunched the numbers. But first... A very important conversation about race relations in America today. We are all saddened by the social injustices we are seeing. James provides a very poignant point of view as a black man living in these times. Neil provides a more global perspective. Pod tries to lighten the conversation, hoping the aliens can come soon so we can band together against them. 24:09 - The Bottom of the Power Rankings feature 7 teams that are the worst of the worst. The next tier of 4 or 5 teams have some serious question marks. The final tier of the bottom half are all teams that could equally be very good or very bad. 1:09:13 - The top half of the Power Rankings feature 11 teams that require the most conversation from the SuperFans with the biggest divergence of rankings. The top 4 teams of the NFL though seem pretty set and it would be surprising to see any of the top 4 not finish in that spot at the end of the year. And the show wraps up with an ending you don't want to miss!

NFL Draft Prospects Jericho Flowers & Sean Riley - 3/31/20

PodVader is back and talking with potential NFL Draft prospects. This episode features Syracuse WR, Sean Riley and UNLV DB, Jericho Flowers. 2:57 Sean Riley, Syracuse University, Wide Receiver and Kick Returner (@seankriley on Twitter)...Talks about his 4 year contribution as a kick returner. How playing running back in high school helped him on kick returns. How he sees the advantages (or disadvantages) in the XFL style of kick returning. And why being called a "slot receiver" doesn't bother him, but he is just another wide receiver. 12:45 Jericho Flowers, UNLV DB (@flowersjericho on Twitter) He was a member of the all decade team at UNLV. Has a contributor mentality - whatever his team needs, he'll do. Converted to wide receiver for his freshman year and made big contributions in overtime wins as a WR. Doesn't fear the physical part of the game like other great DBs and is a punishing tackler. Under the rader because he's undersized? PodVader says he'd build his team around this guy.

He was first on the show 2 years ago, an NFL defensive line prospect.

PodVader Is Crazy or Making the Patriots Great Again - 4/5/18

It's a lively one today folks! PodVader is joined by Neil (Redskins), James (Eagles), Patrick (Patriots), Rob (Bills) and Ken (Chargers). The focus of today's podcast is heavyily in favor of the New England Patriots. But first... Steelers, Bengals, Panthers fans - become a SuperFan and apply at nextfanup@gmail.com Patriots traded Brandin Cooks to the Los Angeles Rams for their first round draft choice. Patrick and Pod like the move, but for different reasons. Pod goes crazy and says it's time to blow up the dynasty and trade away Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski. Patrick says Pod has joined this bandwagon one year too late. Neil tries to bring some semblance of reality to the conversation and the roundtable does discuss what this means for the Rams and more specifically, Aaron Donald.  At the 34min mark, Pod talks with Scott Wright (@draftcountdown on Twitter, www.draftcountdown.com ) about the upcoming draft. The dirth of QBs at the beginning of the draft, the value and depth of RBs in this class, and the best player that everybody should be jumping up and down for their team to draft plays at a position that doesn't get drafted very high.  At the 1 hour mark, Pod talks with Johnny Daniels, former DL from Arkansas Pine-Bluff as he gets ready for the upcoming NFL Draft.  Nick, our Chiefs SuperFan, jumps in after the interviews to finalize a wager with Pod regarding Patrick Mahomes. This all stems from a tweet sent by @greggrosenthal and an article he wrote on nfl.com.  The guys wrap up the show with a brief conversation about the Tennessee Titans new uniforms. Pod says they look familiar... Subscribe and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher and wherever great podcasts are heard. Share with a friend and Enjoy!!!

There Are Rules to This Game? or Let Them Play Without Helmets - 3/29/18

A jam packed show filled with insights, opinions, social awareness and nonsense. PodVader leads Neil (Redskins), James (Eagles), Ken (Chargers) and Andy (Dolphins) through the latest NFL news.  We start with the new rules in the NFL. A couple that missed some of the headlines - like scoring plays in overtime. And a couple that required a little more attention like the Catch rule and the new helmet targeting rule. Ultimately, consistency is what is key to officiating a football game and the guys don't think these rules will help in that effort.  Next, there are rumors the Giants are looking to trade Odell Beckham Jr. What team would be a good fit? How could the Giants make that happen...but more importantly WHY? At the 46min mark, Pod speaks with a couple of young NFL Draft prospects getting ready for their big day. Jarrod Cann and Najae Brown are both former safeties for Central Connecticut State University.  The guys wrap up the show talking about the best available Free Agents remaining. This leads to the Colin Kaepernick situation being revisited. Great conversation on social awareness as well as football talent had here.  If you want to be a SuperFan - we've got openings - send an email to nextfanup@gmail.com .  Tweet @nfupodcast | Facebook.com/nfupodcast Subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, Spreaker - wherever great podcasts are heard!

Do You Like Guys? or the Worst Signings of 2017 - 3/8/18

For the record, I love everybody. This week, PodVader is joined by James (Eagles), Andrew (Dolphins) and Monty (Raiders) to talk about the latest NFL news and happenings. But first... When looking for that perfect gift for a retiring referee, look no further than harrys.com/nextfanup Justin (Seahawks) jumps in as we kick off the Headlines with the roster cleaning going on in Seattle. He looks at this as a sad end of an era, but a necessary one. Michael Bennett was traded to the Eagles. Richard Sherman doesn't expect to be a Seahawk this year. The roster looks like it's in rough shape. By the way, things don't look great for the L.A. Rams who traded Robert Quinn to the Dolphins and Alec Ogletree to the Giants. The NFC West could be won by...the 49ers??? The Eagles might have the worst salary cap situation, but the Dolphins are a close second. Andy breaks down the roster moves that have to happen to fit Robert Quinn, who he hopes isn't "all done". Plus, the guys discuss Vontae Davis and Chris Ivory signing with the Bills, There's a special NFL Draft podcast coming this weekend. Quick thoughts on the NFL Combine: The good - Shaquem Griffin. The bad - Orlando Brown. The ugly - Do you like guys?  The show wraps up with analysis of Jason Fitzgerald's article from overthecap.com ( https://overthecap.com/30-worst-signings-2017) on the worst signings of 2017. There are some very obvious choices at the top, but when you start comparing some of the "bad" signings, not all of them were that bad. Plus Pod, James and Monty discuss the signings that Jason missed to include in his article.  Email nextfanup@gmail.com | Tweet @nfupodcast | Facebook.com/nfupodcast Subscribe to the show wherever great podcasts are heard: Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, etc. Leave us a review.

PodVader Is Crazy or Our Fourth Season - 3/1/18

Strap in kids, it's a long one!  PodVader is back with the SuperFans - Neil (Redskins), Kevin (Cowboys), James (Eagles) and Patrick (Patriots) - to talk about the NFL stuff fans like to talk about. But first... Go to twitter.com/podernmadness, find the bracket featuring @nfupodcast and vote for our show! To get us in the right mindset, Pod talks with Arthur Arkush of ProFootballWeekly.com (@arthurarkush @pfweekly on Twitter). What's up with Jerry Jones vs the NFL? Who should we be watching at the NFL Combine? It's the QBs of course and Lamar Jackson might be the most interesting of the bunch. The Kansas City Chiefs traded away Marcus Peters to the L.A. Rams for not that much NFL draft capital. What's the story there? To get more insights on the Chiefs' offseason so far (which hasn't even officially begun), Nick, our Chiefs SuperFan, jumps in to share his thoughts on the trades of Alex Smith and Marcus Peters. Plus the team has signed a throw away CB while cutting key veteran front 7 players. As Patrick points out, it seems like a rebuild is happening without the actual rebuilding.   The roundtable continues though with thoughts on the Combine - what positions to watch and what specifically you should be watching. The guys break down who they're watching this weekend in regards to their teams.  Kevin gets a chance to go on a rant about Dez Bryant. The other SuperFans pile on except for Pod. Vader and Kevin still believe in Dez Bryant. Neil especially, not so much.  The podcast ends with a quick run through of the latest headlines including the NFL Network to air a Flag Football championship this summer. Pod Vader warns this might be the NFL we come to know in the future.  Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, Aha Radio or anywhere great podcasts are heard. Leave us a review.

What does this mean for the Kansas City Chiefs? What does this mean for the Redskins? What does this mean for Kirk Cousins? Which teams can afford Cousins' asking price? Around the 1hour 21min mark, other headlines are discussed like the Chiefs/Rams playing in Mexico City. Fox now owns the rights to Thursday Night Football. Titans Head Coach, Mike Vrabel has hired his staff in Tennessee. The NFL has released "stats" on the missed game injuries through the year. Surprising numbers when you break it down to injuries per game.  Finally, Clayton emailed nextfanup@gmail.com and asked Pod to make the Texans great again (he will).

The joke of a game that even kids don't care about vs how much weight being a "Pro Bowler" carries for Hall of Fame status. The guys get into what's the best way to change this and make the game more relevant? How about the skills challenge? Maybe just send them all to the XFL? Just past the 25min mark, the guys get into all the coaching changes. Josh just gushes about Matt Patricia to the Lions. He's really excited to be getting him as the next head coach. Josh McDaniels appears to be headed to the Colts. Mike Vrabel gets the job in Tennessee as the Titans' head man. The Cardinals hired Steve Wilks. Pat Shurmur is hired as the next head coach of the New York Giants.  And right around the 53 min mark, the conversation transitions to the NFL Draft.

The Kings of the AFC Will Be??? Guest: Matt Williamson - 12/13/17

An all-PodVader edition of the Next Fan Up podcast. But first... Get your holiday shopping finished for your guy at harrys.com/nextfanup This is the week that the crown is affixed atop the Kings of the AFC as the New England Patriots visit the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Patriots stumble in after a loss to the Dolphins on Monday Night. Matt Williamson (@williamsonnfl on Twitter, host of the Locked On football podcast) joins Pod to preview this one. He explains how nervous Steelers Nation is. Pod explains how Pats fans have lost a little confidence in the team. And oh by the way, the Jaguars are ready to pounce on whomever stumbles in this matchup.  Next is the Thursday Night matchup. Pod admits, not only have the SuperFans for the Broncos and Colts disappeared, but everyone should disappear for this game. The most interesting thing about this one - both teams wearing color rush uniforms. In a week where only 2 games have zero playoff implications - this is one of those 2 games.

NFL Week 11 Recap - Blowouts and Backups

The Superfans talk week 10, where it seemed like every game had either a blowout or a backup QB. Who would have guessed in the preseason that the Rams vs Vikings would be the most important game of the week? Or that the Patriots and Raiders was a guarenteed snooze fest? We did have a a duel between Carson Wentz and Dak Prescott which turned out to be a... disappointment, at least as far as quarterback play is concerned. Still, every game at this point in the season counts for quite a lot, and the playoff seeds are a growing part of the conversation. Also, the Bills have messed up at quarterback. Badly.

Hello again everybody. Hope you're enjoying your NFL season so far because we're almost at the peak of the year. This week, PodVader talks with Armando Crespo (@thundercrespo on Twitter), cohost of the Eat Sleep Fantasy podcast.

Nat Coombs Complains "Pod Never Calls Anymore" - 10/18/17

It's a foreign edition of the Wednesday show in that an Englishman is guesting on the podcast and it's shorter than usual. PodVader is joined by old friend, Nat Coombs, to talk about the London series. Plus, a unique twist on the Thursday Night Football preview between the Oakland Raiders of Las Vegas and the Kansas City Chiefs. But first...

NFL Week 6 - You Think You Know, But You Don't Know

The Next Fan Up crew is back to take on week 6. Have we achieved parity? Becuase it seems like our bottom 10 teams knock off some of our top 10 teams every week. The Steelers and Chiefs have a big time clash, Deshaun Watson continues to shine, and the Patriots defense continues to threated to give our show an explicit tag. Somone needs to ask Aaron Rodgers if State Farm covers broken collar bones.  Upsets abound, no team is save, and Eli Manning is still making the same face. Find out why, on Next Fan Up!

The Bearded Lady Is NFL Week 6 - 10/12/17

Lots of talk about facial hair this week but it's Week 6 in the NFL and PodVader is joined by Neil (Redskins), James (Eagles), Kevin (Cowboys), Andy (Dolphins) and MJ (Falcons) to preview all the latest happenings. But first... Jerry Jones had some interesting things to say regarding players that take a knee during the National Anthem. We don't get into the politics of it (we did that 2 weeks ago - check out the archives on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, www.blogtalkradio.com/nextfanup) . We do discuss what this means for the league from a commercial standpoint and the impact this topic is having on the league. (We recorded before the news on Ezekiel Elliott came down.) Next, the Giants lost 3 of their 4 starting WRs last week. They're suspending Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. What is going on with the 0-5 Giants? Adrian Peterson is traded to the Cardinals - is he done? Tyler Eifert will have his third back surgery - is he done? 3 SuperFan Battles this week kick off around the 32min mark: Packers/Vikings | Rams/Jaguars | Steelers/Chiefs Around 1hour and 6mins, the guys make their picks. PodVader warns this is the week to avoid gambling if you can because these games look lopsided, and the point spreads will be tricky.  Email us nextfanup@gmail.com | Tweet us @nfupodcast | Facebook.com/nfupodcast | www.nextfanup.wordpress.com Subscribe on Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | TuneIn | Aha Radio  Leave us a review.

Week 5 Recap - Time to Stick a Fork in Some Teams

The Next Fan Up crew recap the week 5 action. Who is ready to have a fork stuck in them? Definitely the Giants. 49ers too. Big Ben? What about JJ Watt? Bad play and injuries may be a factor.

Woman Know Sports Too. Deal With It! - 10/05/17

Another exciting week in the NFL is upon us and PodVader has Neil (Redskins), Kevin (Cowboys), Andrew (Dolphins), James (Eagles), Josh (Lions) and Patrick (Patriots) to preview all the games. Rob (Bills) makes a cameo too. But first... Cam Newton just won't grow up and says something stupid about women sports reporters. This is all Kevin needed to jump back off the Newton train. Is this also an issue of athletic entitlement? Next up, the guys talk about the major injuries impacting several teams this week. Are Derek Carr and Marcus Mariota joined at the hip and is it too early to lable them fragile?  The SuperFan Battles kick off around the 32min mark. This week features: Cardinals/Eagles | Packers/Cowboys | Chiefs/Texans Around the 1hour 15min mark, Rob makes that cameo to fully live it up as a happy Bills fan. This is something we've never really seen before. It might be a unicorn.  At the 1hour 33min mark, the guys go through the rest of Week 5 in the NFL based off of Pod's picks for each game.  Monday Night Football SuperFan Battle features the Vikings and the Bears (Mitch Trubisky's debut) around 1hour 55min.  We're still looking for a Buccaneers SuperFan.

Leave us a review. Share with a friend and enjoy!!! First up, Kevin (@tffg on Twitter) from The Fantasy Football Guys joins to talk about the latest results in the BTR league. Both he and Pod are 2-2, but Kevin suffered a heart breaker thanks to Monday Night Football performances from Kirk Cousins and Travis Kelce. Kevin talks a little bit about what fantasy owners have to do to navigate their way through the second 2/3rds of the season. He also talks about being the new guy in the league and how to adapt to different styles of play by the other members.  Then around the 19min mark, Pod talks with Patrick (Patriots) and James Yarcho (@jyarcho_bucs or @pewterplank on Twitter) about the Thursday Night Football game between the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Patrick and Pod aren't feeling that good about that defense in New England. James mentions that if this game comes down to Special Teams - the punting game is excellent, but the field game is not quite so much.  To become the Buccaneers SuperFan or just reach out to say hi - email us: nextfanup@gmail.com Tweet us @nfupodcast | Facebook.com/nfupodcast | Website: www.nextfanup.wordpress.com Thursday previews of Week 5 are coming next.

There's Politics In Football. Deal With It - 9/28/17

We tackle a very important issue in this week's episode of Next Fan Up - politics and football. PodVader is joined by James (Eagles), Kevin (Cowboys), Andy (Dolphins) and Josh (Lions) to discuss what happened in week 3. But it's more than just what happened - it's why it happened. It's why politics and football should be a thing. It's about protesting. It's about hearing the messages. It's about opening your mind and stop using sports as an escape from the real world things that need to be addressed.  Along with James' piece on the subject matter at our own website, www.nextfanup.wordpress.com , we encourage you to read these pieces too.  Eric Reid in the NY Times: https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/09/25/opinion/colin-kaepernick-football-protests.html?referer=https ://t.co/DSw9mG7cKC Mike Tanier on Bleacher Report:  http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2735093-have-we-lost-sight-of-what-colin-kaepernick-was-really-protesting-for Around the 44min 30 second mark, we move on to talking about this silly violent game we all love and preview Week 4, starting with our SuperFan Battles. This week includes: Bills-Falcons | Rams-Cowboys | Lions-Vikings | Steelers-Ravens | Raiders-Broncos At the 1 hour 34min mark, Pod shares his picks this week including his Lock and Upset Special.

Patriots Today: Matt Chatham Guests - 9/27/17

It's not the latest edition of Patriots Today, but Matt Chatham and PodVader certainly go in depth on the issues the New England Patriots are facing. Welcome to Next Fan Up! Be part of the conversations we have by emailing nextfanup@gmail.com | Tweet @nfupodcast | facebook.com/nfupodcast Matt Chatham (@chatham58 on Twitter, footballbyfootball.com) stops by. Pod talks to him about the lack of defense not normally associated with the defending Super Bowl champions. He also plugs his recent article on MusketFire.com comparing the 2017 Patriots to the 2011 Patriots. Matt doesn't think that's the case. He mentions there are alot of new players on the defensive side of the ball and there is hope that this squad is going to improve as the season goes on and they learn their roles. In the meantime, Pats fans just need some patience. He also talks about specific veteran players like Devin McCourty and Nate Solder, whom Pod pointed to as guys that are struggling. Matt wants to wait until he can watch some tape and mentions how a play in Week 1 versus the Chiefs wasn't McCourty's fault.  Matt is also a member of the BlogTalkRadio Fantasy Expert League with Pod. Some of the undefeated teams lost this past week and it looks like there's some parity this year with 14 teams. Matt shares what fantasy players should be looking for in terms of matchups to best set their lineups on a weekly basis.  Then it's the Thursday Night Football Preview. Kevin (Cowboys) hosts Tom (Bears) and Brian (Packers) for a preview of the Chicago-Green Bay tilt. Pod shares his pick at the end and teases the upcoming Thursday show.  Make sure to subscribe to the podcast so you don't miss that next show.

Not going to lie. This is a long one. PodVader is joined by Neil (Redskins), James (Eagles), Kevin (Cowboys) and for a bit, Andy (Dolphins) to preview Week 3. Before they jump into the previews, they touch on some headlines including the players looking for a month to be dedicated to activism. Goodell's contract should be renewed and DeMaurice Smith renewed as the NFLPA head (Neil is NOT a fan).

Ross Tucker: The State of NFL Offensive Lines - 9/20/17

It's a mini-reunion of sorts. PodVader talks with his old pal, Ross Tucker, on the show today. He also has an interview with Jay from Razzball (not related, but great first name). Then he breaks down the Thursday Night Football game between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers. But first, by popular demand or @HeavyseT330 on Twitter demand, Ross Tucker (@RossTuckerNFL on Twitter) joins Pod to discuss the state of the offensive line in the NFL. Is this a player problem or a coaching problem? Is the CBA to blame? What can be done to fix it? Plus, Jerry Jones isn't happy with the Commissioner - or is it just shrewd contract negotiations? Right around 19minutes, PodVader talks with Jay from Razzball (@jaywrong on Twitter) about the BlogTalkRadio Fantasy Expert League. Pod is 2-0, Jay is 1-1. They square off this week. Now with two weeks of data, is there time to react to some bad players or is it still too soon? When you should you start scrambling to make a move? Can you trade for a RB this year? Some good advice given here while talking about the BTR League as a whole.  Finally, around the 33minute mark, PodVader fills in for Charly (49ers) and Jarrod (Rams) to preview the Thursday Night Game. A lot of home dogs this week, including the 49ers. Hear how Pod sees this game playing out.  We want to hear from you!

Next Time Kevin Should Have Some Coffee or Week 2 NFL Preview - 9/14/17

We've got another long one here - but is it really long if we're talking about football?  PodVader is joined by Neil (Redskins), Greg (Steelers), James (Eagles), Kevin (Cowboys), Ken (Chargers) and Josh (Lions) to run through all the picks and previews in Week 2 of the NFL. But first... The Chicago Tribune had an interesting piece on the state of offensive line play in the NFL. It's been bad, but who is really to blame for the issue? Is this a player issue or a coaching issue? How bout them rookies? Kareem Hunt, Dalvin Cook and Leonard Fournette all had impressive debuts. Can they keep it going in Week 2? Around the 20minute mark, we kickoff the previews starting with the 1pm games. The 4pm games start around the 1hour 14minute.  Monday Night Football wraps up the previews at the 1hour 59minute mark.  SuperFan Battles this week include: Eagles/Chiefs, Patriots/Saints, Cowboys/Broncos and Packers/Falcons.  Email us nextfanup@gmail.com | Tweet us @nfupodcast | Facebook.com/nfupodcast | Visit www.nextfanup.wordpress.com for all the written previews.

Disappointing Start To the Season... or Week 2 in the NFL - 9/13/17

We've got news to react to as Week 2 in the NFL kicks off. David Johnson, running back for the Arizona Cardinals, needs surgery on his wrist and will be out at least 8 weeks (could be more).  We bring in Dr. Jones (not a medical doctor), the Cardinals SuperFan, to react. He sees doom and gloom in the future for the Cards. Much of the season will be riding on the re-signing of Chris Johnson. He's not interested in one of those Patriots running backs (Pod had to ask).  At the 19minute 26 second mark, PodVader talks with Jess Root (@senorjessroot on Twitter), site editor for CardsWire.com. He doesn't see doom and gloom, but things did just get more difficult. Carson Palmer is certainly going to need to play better than he did in Week 1 for the Cardinals to have a shot at anything this season. This team has won before David Johnson, and can again. Watch for Andre Ellington to be a key part of that.  At 30:13, PodVader talks fantasy football with Chris Schubert (@ChrisRSchubert), cohost of The Keepers podcast from FanRag.com. Both gentlemen are part of the BlogTalkRadio Fantasy Football Expert League, but only one of them was a winner and the other was not. Don't worry, you'll know who the winner was pretty quickly in this one.  Then at 41:42, James (Texans) and Cody (Bengals) break down the matchups for Thursday Night Football between Houston and Cincinnati. It was a disappointing Week 1 for both these teams - so only one team is going to feel alot better about themselves after this game.  Email us nextfanup@gmail.com | Tweet us @nfupodcast | Facebook.com/nfupodcast Check out all the written previews on our website, www.nextfanup.wordpress.com .

That's Not A Winning Formula... or Chiefs vs. Patriots - 9/6/17

The first interview edition of the podcast in the 2017 season. PodVader will present interviews every Wednesday through the season to compliment the weekly previews (Thursdays) and recaps (Monday mornings). This week, it's all about Week 1. Josh Brisco (@jbbrisco on Twitter), host of Roughing the Kicker podcast and Almost Entirely Sports on ESPN Kansas City, acquiesces that the Chiefs will lose this first matchup. But Pod wants to go somewhere else first - Patrick Mahomes. Josh is excited about the future and Pod is still not sold. They discuss what should Chiefs fans be looking for if they're going into this game accepting a loss.  Next (around the 18:45 mark), Matthew Freedman (@mattftheoracle), Editor in Chief at Fantasy Labs and RotoViz podcast producer, jumps in as Pod's first opponent in the BlogTalkRadio Fantasy Football Expert League. They discuss their matchups and which players they have their eyes on. They also talk about the concept of "Expert" leagues and the strategies to take going into Week 1 of the season. Finally (around the 34:43 mark), Nick (Chiefs) and Patrick (Patriots) go at it in the first SuperFan Battle of the season. Both fans think this is going to be a close game. Nick thinks the Chiefs will win (of course) while Patrick says the Chiefs will have a shot, only to blow it with bad game management (of course).  Pod wraps things up with his thoughts on the game Thursday night. Invites Buccaneers fans to step up and represent their team on the podcast.

Last Day of Meaningless Football = Last Day of August - 8/31/17

We're one week away from the kickoff of "real" NFL games and are so excited, we couldn't stop talking. Join PodVader, Neil (Redskins), Kevin (Cowboys), James (Eagles) and new SuperFan Josh (Lions) as they go through the schedule for Week 4 of the preseason but don't preview any games. Instead, they discuss the deep roster players the SuperFans don't want to see cut and make some bold predictions along the way. They also tackle some timely stories. Vontaze Burfict's suspension is reduced, but should he have been suspended in the first place? Greg (Steelers) drops by to talk about the latest moves by his team including acquiring a "starting" TE. And Josh gets initiated to the team as he talks about his team making Matthew Stafford the most paid player in NFL history.

Down Goes Tannehill - 8/3/17

Welcome to the GOAT edition of the Next Fan Up podcast as PodVader, Neil (Redskins), Rob (Bills), James (Eagles) and Nick (Panthers) wish Tom Brady a Happy Birthday as he becomes a man - he's 40. Oh, and Tyrod Taylor got older too.  The big headline is Ryan Tannehill injured his left knee at Dolphins training camp and Andy (Dolphins) is holding his breath. We wait to hear how severe it is, but assume the worst. Andy is ok with Matt Moore stepping up and taking the job, but who else is available? Colin Kaepernick is waiting on Line 1, but he said some Pro-Castro things which won't fly with the Miami community. Jay Cutler has some familiarity with Adam Gase. Oh, and what about that concussion Jay Ajayi suffered? Speaking of Colin Kaepernick, we re-visit our conversation from last week and dive in (head first) as to why he remains without a job. We hope this is the last time we need to have this conversation and really want to get to talking about some football. The Hall of Fame Game is tonight between the Dallas Cowboys and the Arizona Cardinals. Kevin (Cowboys) and Dr. Jones (Cardinals) highlight what they're watching for in the game.  The Hall of Fame Ceremony is this Saturday which got Nick to wondering - is LaDainian Tomlinson the greatest RB of all time? We re-visit that debate from last season (check out our shows in the archive). We hit on some other Training Camp headlines including major injuries to rookies with the Los Angeles Chargers of San Diego, Will Fuller's broken collarbone with the Texans, the 49ers release a WR, Patrick Mahomes throws his first interception in camp and more!

Matt Chatham on Life of The Player at Training Camp - 7/27/17

Football is back and we're FIRED UP! PodVader leads the roundtable of SuperFans featuring Neil (Redskins), James (Eagles) and Joe (Vikings). Before these guys get into the news from training camp Matt Chatham (@chatham58 on Twitter, footballbyfootball.com) rejoins the program. Matt details life as a player in training camp. What do the players do all day besides practice? How long are the days? Pod brings the fan perspective on how training camp has become a fan event now too - with just as many fans at practice as will fill the new LA Chargers of San Diego stadium this year.  Speaking of training camp, the Baltimore Ravens haven't had a good start. The injury bug has already hit Joe Flacco, Kenneth Dixon, Dennis Pitta and Tavon Young. And if that wasn't enough, OL John Urschel retired at age 26. The rumors connecting Colin Kaepernick to this team leads to a deep conversation about why Kaep is still unemployed.  Other news the guys dive into: the Ballad of a Man Named Lucky (Whitehead); Ronnie Hillman signing with the Cowboys and concerns about a Zeke suspension; Le'veon Bell's hold out; Cardale Jones traded to the Chargers; Teddy Bridgewater starts on the PUP; Redskins camp news; Eagles camp news; Patriot camp news The guys wrap up the show with a touching email from Sean.

Christopher Harris, Panthers, Cousins and Zeke - Oh my! - 7/20/17

A jam packed show featuring PodVader with SuperFans Neil (Redskins), Rob (Bills), James (Eagles), Kevin (Cowboys) and Andy (Dolphins).  We also have two guests - Christopher Harris towards the end and a new potential SuperFan at the beginning.  Nick Howell (@datacenterdude on Twitter and founder of OrbitalJigsaw.com) joins the show to talk about the firing of Dave Gettleman from the Carolina Panthers, how he feels the whole situation went down and what the real impact is to the fans and to the team. Plus, we give him a chance to predict the upcoming season for the team that could dictate the entire NFC South.  Next up, you may have heard the harrowing tale of "Kurt" Cousins with the Washington Redskins. Kirk didn't come to a long term agreement and he remains on his franchise tender. What does this mean for the future of the franchise and how embarrassing was "Allen Bruce"?   Leveon Bell also didn't come to a long term solution with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He wants to be paid as the best player in football. How will his situation ultimately dictate the market that has some very good RBs like... ...Ezekial Elliott. He allegedly did something stupid again. Can he keep his nose clean as a member of the Dallas Cowboys? And while we're talking about stupid, Dante Fowler got his 10th traffic violation in less than 2 years. He may want to invest in Uber. Around the 1 hour, 2 min mark, Pod finally talks some fantasy football with Christopher Harris (@HarrisFootball on Twitter, HarrisFootball.com). They chat about drafting styles, the value of RBs, and a little bit of Patriots (just a little - we promise). We're part of #2PodsADay, a program promoting podcasts through August.

Neil talks about the trickle down effect it should have for Kirk Cousins.  Pod gets to talk about the Patriots signing David Harris to their linebacking corps.

Welcome to a sleepy June edition of the podcast as PodVader is joined by just Rob (Bills) to whip around the news in the NFL this week.  We kick things off with a trade - the New York Jets send Calvin Pryor to the Cleveland Browns for Demarrio Davis.

Justin (Seahawks), James (Texans) and Ken (Chargers) convene to share some love. There's a lot of hate in the NFL. Most of it is warranted.

Well Allow Me To Retort...In the Rain - 5/25/17

It's the "Allow Me To Retort" edition of the podcast with PodVader, Neil (Redskins), Rob (Bills), James (Eagles), Nick (Chiefs) and James (Texans). On Sunday, the SuperFans held their first annual Sacred Cow Slaughter (if you missed the show, please subscribe on iTunes, TuneIn, Stitcher, or anywhere great podcasts are heard - and leave us a review while you).  On today's show, we shall resuscitate some of those cows, but first... The NFL made some rule changes including allowing more celebrations after TDs, shortened overtime, moved roster cut downs and allow for 2 players to come back from the Injured Reserve List. Plus, because of "rain", the Los Angeles stadium building has been delayed, thus the need for L.A. to delay in hosting a Super Bowl.  PodVader talks with special guest, Clint Daly from the Daly Dose Sports podcast and writer at milehighsports.com. He talks about his Broncos, the Sacred Cow known as Tom Brady, Dan Marino's place in the G.O.A.T. argument and Jay Cutler should still be playing.  Pod and the SuperFans take on that Tom Brady isn't the G.O.A.T. Sacred Cow and got some help from William Berry on Facebook.com/NFUPodcast. Rob had some issues with the QBR stat being slaughtered and came to its defense.  The guys wrapped up the podcast talking about the Bills signing Nate Peterman (rookie QB) and Gerald Hodges (free agent LB), the Patriots signed Andrew Hawkins, the Browns signed Ryan Grigson to their front office ("that's what not getting better looks like"), Brock Osweiler believes the film is his friend, and Neil suggests playing OTA bingo.

Andrew Brandt "I Won't Give Them the Talking Points" - 5/18/17

PodVader and James (Texans), Andrew (Jets), Patrick (Patriots) and Ken (Chargers) roll through the NFL Over/Under Win Totals (thanks to Bovada for providing the numbers) for every team. But first... Andrew Brandt (@AndrewBrandt on Twitter), host of the Business of Sports podcast, columnist for MMQB and director of the Moorad Sports Law Center of Villanova, joins Pod to discuss the latest business with the NFL. How rookie contracts have changed in a short matter of time since Andrew was once working the front offices of the Packers. Plus, what has worked and what hasn't at the midway point of the current CBA. And how LeGarrette Blount's signing with the Eagles helps the Patriots but makes Andrew think about the lack of a monetary future for star RBs in the league.  The guys chime in on the current CBA and some of the potential negotiation snags that are on the horizon including the discipline system and the use of legal, medical marijuana.  Then around the 37minute mark, the guys finally get the win totals for all 32 NFL teams. You agree or disagree with us? We want to hear from you - especially if you're a Buccaneers, Lions or Vikings fan.

Patriots, NFL Schedule and Draft Rumors - 4/20/17

PodVader talks about the latest NFL news with Robert (Bills), James (Eagles) and Kevin (Cowboys).  First up, Pod's favorite team, the New England Patriots, made a flurry of moves this week. They extended an offer to Bills restricted free agent RB, Mike Gillislee. Pod jokes with Rob that he can root for the New England Bills now, but doesn't understand what the Patriots are doing in the backfield - signing James White to an extension, re-signing Brandon Bolden and acquiring Rex Burkhead. Malcolm Butler also signed his RFA tender - will he be traded? Danny Amendola takes a pay reduction. Patriots visit Donald Trump at the White House. Aaron Hernandez commits suicide. Lots of Patriots news. The NFL schedule will be announced this evening. Pod says "so what?" So far the latest leaks are the Chiefs are likely to open the season with the Patriots and the Redskins will take on the Giants on Thanksgiving day.   The SuperFans talk about the latest draft rumors, although admittedly, not much going on right now. A lot has to do with the QBs and how many of them will be drafted. Kevin doesn't get all the hysteria surrounding the QBs as more than half the drafted guys are horrible.  That said, 5 of the SuperFans took a QB in the first round of the SuperFan Super Mock Draft (check out the mock on our website: www.nextfanup.wordpress.com ). We got some feedback on Twitter re: the Mock from @SpartnLtGeneral. You can tweet us too, @nfupodcast, with your opinions.  Or if you prefer something longer than 140 characters, our email is nextfanup@gmail.com . Pod then speaks with the co-hosts of the GSMC Football podcast, Anthony and Jeremiah. Jeremiah is a 49ers fan and Anthony likes the Dolphins.They discuss the draft, free agents and the upcoming season. Don't miss a show and subscribe on iTunes, TuneIn, Stitcher or Aha Radio.

PodVader, along with SuperFans Greg (Steelers), Neil (Redskins), James (Eagles) and Kevin (Cowboys), tackle 3 big topics this week.  First, it all starts with Tony Romo's retirement from the NFL and his move to the broadcast booth at CBS. Kevin adds on to his heartfelt good bye (be sure to check out his blog post at www.nextfanup.wordpress.com ) to his favorite player. The SuperFans get into a conversation about the best and worst announcers working the games today. Turns out, they don't like very many announcers. Next, Pod talks with Matt Harmon (@mattharmon_byb) from NFL.com and inventor of the Reception Perception. Matt explains what the Reception Perception is and how to use it properly. He shares who one of the underrated WRs is in this year's NFL Draft. He also talks about how Brandin Cooks will fit in with the Patriots and the skillsets of the Texans WRs as Houston looks for a QB.  Then, Pod and the SuperFans go ahead and redo the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft. Despite Le'veon Bell being the best player available, he is not the first pick in the draft. Find out how many of the original first rounders stay in the first round and which players get selected to your favorite team.  And if you like spoilers, a complete recap is on our website, www.nextfanup.wordpress.com .

What Moves To Vegas, Does It Stay In Vegas? - 3/30/17

The third franchise in a year has moved to a new city. PodVader and the SuperFans have their reactions.  First up, Monty (Raiders) and Ken (Chargers) discuss the Raiders move to Las Vegas and the Chargers move to Los Angeles. Both come from very different perspectives. Pod highlights how the NFL now has an "event" team every Sunday.  The rest of the SuperFans chime in including Jarrod (Rams), Andy (Dolphins), Kevin (Cowboys), James (Texans) and Ryan (Jaguars). Jarrod's team recently moved (closer to his hometown).  Ryan lives in Las Vegas. James lives in a city that lost a team and got a new team. Andy's team was the lone one to vote against the Raiders' move. Kevin's team is never leaving Texas (even though Pod has a foggy memory of Oklahoma once being brought up - Pod is old.)  Literally every aspect of this move is investigated, inlcuding the impact on the fans, the economy and the SuperBowl rotation.   The other big NFL headline this week were the rules changes that were adopted at the Owners' meeting.  The Field Goa Leaping Block rule and the instant replay changes were the rules that caught most of the SuperFans' attention.  The guys wrap things up with a quick convo about Richard Sherman trade rumors and the Buccaneers' interest in Adrian Peterson.  If you'd like to weigh in with your opinions or even become a SuperFan yourself - email the show: nextfanup@gmail.com Tweet us: @nfupodcast Facebook.com/nfupodcast You can read any number of blog posts we have at our website: www.nextfanup.wordpress.com Don't forget to subscribe to the show on iTunes, TuneIn, Stitcher, Aha Radio or anywhere great podcasts are heard.

Back To The Future of 2013 & other NFL news - 3/23/17

PodVader and SuperFans - Neil (Redskins), James (Eagles) and Andy (Dolphins) - hit on the latest news in the NFL and revisit the "classic" 2013 NFL draft.  Hope you're subscribed on iTunes, TuneIn, Stitcher or Aha Radio (or anywhere great podcasts are heard). Don't forget you can contact us via email: nextfanup@gmail.com ... Twitter: @nfupodcast ... Facebook.com/nfupodcast ... www.nextfanup.wordpress.com . The guys start the show discussing the latest details regarding the Las Vegas Raiders of Oakland. Neil is besides himself when it comes to franchise movement in the States because it just would never happen across the pond. This also leads into a bigger conversation on what to expect next week at the NFL owners' meetings and a new proposal from the Commissioner to shorten the game by a whole 5 minutes.  From there, there were some stories that came out regarding Latavious Murray's ankle surgery. What does that say about Adrian Peterson?  Cam Newton is set for rotator cuff surgery - why is this happening so late in the offseason? The big topic for today's show though is revisiting the 2013 NFL Draft and it's importance to the NFL today. It was a horrible draft class, but these guys are free agents now and making big time money - despite being lousy! The guys wrap up on a conversation regarding Jay Cutler. He appears to be in the Ryan Fitzpatrick seat from last year. Too good to be a backup, but not good enough to lead a lousy team to anything other than mediocrity - meaning, not worth the money it will take to pay him.  Coming up - Sunday, special guest regarding the upcoming 2017 NFL Draft. Next week - Pod and the SuperFans will re-draft the 2013 class.

NFL Free Agency, Branden Jackson & Fred Payne - 3/16/17

Be sure you subscribe to the show on iTunes, TuneIn, Stitcher, Aha Radio. Leave us a review. Share with a friend! In today's show, PodVader is joined by James (Eagles), Rob (Bills) and Kevin (Cowboys) to react to the latest free agency news. They begin with Latavious Murray signing with the Minnesota Vikings and what that means for the rest of the RBs available in free agency, including Adrian Peterson. The guys discuss some of the other notable signings since Sunday. The NFL announced Performance-Based distributions this week. Pod mentions this is how great teams like the Patriots manage their salary cap.  Around the 34 minute mark, Pod talks with Raiders DE Branden Jackson. Branden spent most of 2016 on the practice squad, but made the roster in the final quarter of the season. He talks about his pride in being a Raider, the team morale surrounding Derek Carr's injury late last season and the potential move to Las Vegas.  The SuperFans jump back in to discuss some of the surprise free agents still available and then BREAKING NEWS, Dontari Poe signs with the Falcons. This makes James sad, as he was hoping Poe would sign with a bird of a different color - like Eagle green. Pod brings up a conversation the SuperFans have been debating lately - would you rather have an elite pass rusher or elite corner back?  Pod is left all by his lonesome with an elite CB. The other guys rally around an elite pass rusher.  That's when Pod looks for backup from draft prospect out of Western Carolina, Fred Payne. The interview starts around one hour 11minutes in. Fred talks about his unique name, weighs in on the debate and shares the super power he'd want to have. He also shares why he feels so close to the Boys & Girls Club and why he helps out. Pod needs YOU to help him with this debate so email - nextfanup@gmail.com . Tweet us @nfupodcast. Check out the Facebook page!

NFL Free Agency & Draft Prospects - 3/9/17

PodVader leads the SuperFans - Greg (Steelers), Kevin (Cowboys), Andrew (Dolphins) and Rob (Bills) - through every NFL free agency signing that has occured before the new league season begins at 4pm on Thursday.  We begin with the moves by the New England Patriots. Pod likes the move of signing Stephon Gilmore, but not at the expense of losing Malcolm Butler - especially if it's in a trade for Brandin Cooks. Sam (Giants) talks about Brandon Marshall. It makes the offense a little bit better, but Sam wants to see more for the Oline. Pod still thinks adding Adrian Peterson makes this a much different conversation. Kevin gets to say his goodbye to Tony Romo.  Robert talks about the Bills' and the restructured deal for Tyrod Taylor. This leads to a conversation about the money "average" players are getting in free agency (think: Mike Glennon's deal with the Chicago Bears and Robert Wagner's deal with the Detroit Lions). Andy says the Dolphins aren't making overly stupid moves, but they're still overpaying dramatically for players they didn't have to.  Pod really likes the new additions the Jaguars have in Barry Church and Calais Campbell.  The Ravens are making some moves - but are they the right ones?  At the 55minute mark, Pod has two interviews. First up, Terrish Webb from Pitt talks about getting ready for his Pro Day and how to mute the naysayers on social media. Next, Jordan Bowman from California University of Pennsylvania talks about his journey from the D2 school, super powers and peanut butter chip pancakes.   To cap off the draft talk, the SuperFans discuss what team would be the best fit for Joe Mixon.  We want to hear from you! Email us: nextfanup@gmail.com ; Tweet @nfupodcast; Facebook.com/nfupodcast Remember to share with a friend, listen and enjoy!!!

PodVader and the SuperFans - Greg (Steelers), James (Eagles), Rob (Bills) and Kevin (Cowboys) - get together to chat about the latest news in the NFL, including the newest free agents, franchise tags and more.

There were a couple of "surprise" players that weren't tagged.  Who would the SuperFans want their teams to pursue? How about the latest free agents - Adrian Peterson, Jamaal Charles and Darrelle Revis - which is most likely going to be signed by a team?   Ken, our Chargers SuperFan, wrote a piece for the SuperFans to discuss on an NFL team tanking to acquire more draft picks.  How would you feel if your team decided to pursuing this strategy?  Josh sends us an email to nextfanup@gmail.com .

Scott Wright of DraftCountdown.com talks NFL Draft - 2/23/17

It's a Draft Edition of the Next Fan Up podcast this week as PodVader flies solo and interviews Scott Wright of DraftCountdown.com (@draftcountdown on Twitter).   As they begin their discussion about the prospects in the upcoming NFL Draft, the topic of underclassmen in the draft comes up.  Scott feels a guy like Noah Brown, WR from Ohio State, might be a little early for the draft but a team could get a guy who compares with Martavious Bryant, WR for the Steelers, in the mid rounds.   A rare position to see at the top of rankings is RB, but Leonard Fournette, RB from LSU,  is a special player and is ranked only behind Myles Garrett, the edge rusher from Texas A&M.  The guys jump into talking about the QB position and how the prospects at the most important position in all of sports will shake out.  Pod notices that Scott has 5 of the top 11 players in this draft all coming from Alabama!  It's a poor class for OTs (offensive tackles) but their are some good OGs (offensive guards...but Pod says there can never be a bad OG - old guy).  Pod asks some questions about Jabril Peppers and Chad Kelly. They wrap up their conversation talking about the concept of "over-paying for a franchise QB".   If you have questions - we want to give you the answers: nextfanup@gmail.com Tweet us @nfupodcast If you missed Pod's article on the Browns, you can read it at www.nextfanup.wordpress.com .

Making the Browns Great Again, Free Agents and Franchise Tags - 2/16/17

It's the first offseason edition of the Next Fan Up podcast for 2017. PodVader is joined by James (Eagles) and Kevin (Cowboys) for the whole show. Special guest SuperFans will jump in when called on.  And the guys call on Ben, the Browns SuperFan, right off the bat to react to Pod's article at www.nextfanup.wordpress.com "Making the Browns Great Aga...For the First Time".  Pod's hypothesis involves Jimmy Garoppolo and Martellus Bennett. Ben discusses why Pod's hypothesis is necessary for the Browns to improve their team. James and Kevin see that point, but also see things from a different set of lenses.   Next up, Neil, our Redskins SuperFan, drops by to talk about Kirk Cousins pending free agency - or franchise tag. Neil wants to see Cousins back with the Redskins, but if he's not, he wants to see his team get some real value from him in terms of a trade. His fear, Jay Cutler. Andy, the Dolphins SuperFan, is next to jump in. The Dolphins are making some significant cuts including Branden Albert, Mario Williams, Earl Mitchell and Ifo Ekpre-Olomu.  Andy disagrees with cutting Albert at this point and he instantly becomes the top available free agent lineman.  James mentions a destination to watch for Mario Williams. Pod takes a moment to troll the Dolphins a little.  Pod, Kevin and James talk about some of the other big free agent cuts including Kelvin Beachum, Ryan Clady and Victor Cruz. The guys mention franchise tag players they'd like their teams to target.  We're keeping an eye on the Las Vegas Raiders and it all wraps up with a conversation about special teams.  We want to hear from you: nextfanup@gmail.com Tweet us: @nfupodcast Read Pod's blog re: the Browns: www.nextfanup.wordpress.com Subscribe to the show on iTunes, Sticher, TuneIn, Aha Radio.

SuperBowl 51 Preview of the Patriots vs. the Falcons - 2/2/17

It's a Super preview of the Super Bowl with your SuperFans and PodVader. Joining Pod this week are Greg (Steelers), Neil (Redskins), James (Eagles) and Kevin (Cowboys).   First, PodVader recommends giving Matt Chatham's entertaining and scathing deconstruction of Colin Cowherd's interview with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell a listen. Here's a link to make it easy: tobtr.com/9771265 Then it's time for Tim (Falcons) and Patrick (Patriots) to go at it in an epic SuperFan Battle preview the match ups between New England and Atlanta.  The rest of the SuperFans chime in with their picks for the big game on Sunday as Pod sprinkles in some ridiculous stats (PS - Stay tuned through the end of the podcast where Kevin drops a huge stat that should help you determine the winner of this game). After the SuperBowl conversation around the 1 hour 5min mark, Greg brings in Charly our San Francisco 49ers SuperFan to discuss the hiring of John Lynch as their new GM and the assumed appointment of Kyle Shanahan as the new head coach. How is he feeling about the future of his favorite franchise? The guys also get into how the Oakland Raiders may not be moving to Las Vegas (how funny would it be if they ended up in San Diego?). Pod is a little distressed by the NFL's annual injury report. And Greg has a few thoughts on the future of the Arizona Cardinals amongst reports Carson Palmer may be leaving the team.  While we may be taking a two week break after the SuperBowl is over, the NFL season never rests so get those emails in: nextfanup@gmail.com Tweet us: @nfupodcast Check out our website: www.nextfanup.wordpress.com Never miss a show - like Pod's reunion with Matthew Berry or the Matt's preview of SuperBowl 51 - subscribe on iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn or Aha Radio.

NFL Divisional Round Playoff Preview - 1/12/17

Another SUPER-sized playoff preview from PodVader and the SuperFans including Neil (Redskins), James (Eagles), Rob (Bills), Patrick (Patriots) and Kevin (Cowboys).   This week we kick off with the Playoff games: 5:30ish - Seahawks vs Falcons 25:30ish - Texans vs Patriots 47:30ish - Steelers vs Chiefs 1:13:20ish - Packers vs Cowboys After the game previews, around the 1hour 43minute mark, the guys jump in on the news that the Los Angeles Chargers of San Diego are now a thing. What a generic looking logo? And what is the deal with that letter by Dean Spanos? Next up, the Denver Broncos have hired Vance Joseph as their new head coach. Broncos SuperFan Louis seems excited but concerned not enough attention will be made to the offense. The Buffalo Bills have a new head coach in Sean McDermott. Rob likes the hire and notes it's another defensive minded coach - but one that means business. We also touch on the new administration in Jacksonville where the Jaguars keep Doug Marrone as their coach but hire Tom Coughlin as the VP of Football Operations. This might be a case of what not getting better looks like. The guys didn't get the news on Sean McVay getting the other Los Angeles job as head coach of the Rams in time for the recording.  What are your thoughts?

Final Week 17 Power Ranks

Neil (Washington) and executive assistant Justin (Seahawks) give every team the business one last time. We discuss why the bottom teams are at the bottom, who is moving up next year, as well as stengths and weaknesses. Neil promises he's not still mad about Washingtin (spoilers, he's still mad about Washington). Plus, MVP race updates, coaches being hire and fired, and the greatest special teams play of all time. Just kidding, it involves the Jets and Bills, so it was a disaster. And finally, in a post Christmas miracle, Justin has something nice to say about Andrew Luck.

Week 17 Recap, Oh the Places You'll Go!!

Justin (Seahawks) is pulling double duty this week, hosting and producing all the segments. He'll survive.

Also, we finally find a way to silence Tim (Falcons) for nearly 3 seconds, a new show record.

NFL Week 16 recap and Playoff Picture Preview - 12/26/16

The Playoff Picture is slowly coming into more focus and PodVader makes a special recap appearance to help break it all down. He's joined by Greg (Steelers), Neil (Redskins) and James (Eagles) to run through some of the scenarios leading up to the conclusion of the NFL regular season.   First up, it's the NFC where the Redskins are the only team on the outside with a chance to still make the postseason. The guys discuss the games and which teams in the NFC playoff picture can knock off the top seeds.   Around the 36minute mark, the crew transistions to the AFC. Pod remains pretty bold with his Patriots but there are a couple of other contenders in the Steelers and Chiefs that could makes some noise. Unfortunately, QB injuries mare what could have been for a couple of other young playoff upstarts.  We wrap up each conference discussion with the coaching landscape. Does seem there are more opportunities in the AFC for coaching firings than in the NFC.   We want to hear from you!  Email us - nextfanup@gmail.com Tweet us @nfupodcast Check out our website: www.nextfanup.wordpress.com Please do share the podcast with a friend, either from iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn, Aha Radio or www.blogtalkradio.com/nextfanup .

Jimmy Morris on the playoff Titans & TNF Preview - 12/21/16

PodVader welcomes you to another interview edition of the Next Fan Up podcast. This week, it's all about the playoffs! Jimmy Morris is the lead blogger at MusicCityMiracle.com, part of SB Nation and joins Pod to talk about the success the Titans have had so far this season. They look like legit contenders, but fans should be realistic and not expect the Titans to head into Foxboro and come out victorious any time soon.  The job Jon Robinson has done to fix some of the holes on the team can't be ignored.  There's a new culture with this team.   Sam (Giants) and James (Eagles) preview the Thursday Night tilt between New York and Philadelphia.  Pod weighs in at the end with his pick - which goes against everything he's preached all season long.   Finally, Josh - our MVP emailer - sends in a note about the Broncos.   We'd LOVE to hear from you too!   nextfanup@gmail.com Tweet us @nfupodcast Check out the written previews at www.nextfanup.wordpress.com Holiday weekend preview coming tomorrow!  Subscribe and share with a friend!

Daniel Dopp Talks Lions & TNF Preview, sort of - 12/14/16

It's a new edition of the Next Fan Up podcast as the L.A. Rams make a big change and fire Jeff Fisher as their head coach. Pod will break down the potential candidates for the job but first... He reconnects with his old pal from ESPN podcasts, Daniel Dopp. Secret Squirrel is a huge Lions fan and he talks about the season so far and the Lions chances in the playoffs. Also, he addresses the rumors that Jim Bob Cooter is a head coaching candidate. He's more concerned about his defensive coordinator leaving.   Next up, it's the Super Fan Battle to preview the Thursday Night Football game between the L.A. Rams and the Seattle Seahawks. Jarrod (Rams) talks about the Fisher firing and the open head coaching position. Justin (Seahawks) admits he has some concern about the "bump" some teams see when they fire a head coach - and the fact that the Rams have beat the Seahawks before. Ultimately, the Seahawks should be a lock this week (if you haven't already used them). Pod runs through the list of potential head coaching candidates and talks about who would be the perfect candidate for the job - and it's not one he's seen on any list.  Email us your thoughts on potential head coaching candidates - nextfanup@gmail.com Or you can tweet us - @nfupodcast Read our previews and fantasy stuff on the website - www.nextfanup.wordpress.com See ya on Thursday for the full slate of Sunday games!  Share with a friend

Who Deserves To Go To the Pro Bowl? - 11/22/16

It's a special edition of the Next Fan Up podcast. PodVader talks with Andrew (Jets) about the deserving players for the most irrelevant game in the NFL schedule - the Pro Bowl.  Andrew works as a researcher at Bleacher Report and has a ton of access to all sorts of stats involving all the players in the game. He's also able to provide a unique perspective on quantifying offensive lineman, which is the most difficult position as an average fan to judge.  The SuperFans provided their lists of the players they'd want to see considered for their team and Pod offers up some statistical insights regarding some players as well.  Do you disagree with these candidates? We're sure you do and we want to hear it!  Email nextfanup@gmail.com Tweet us @nfupodcast Don't miss our Thanksgiving week previews on our website: www.nextfanup.wordpress.com or facebook.com/nfupodcast Be sure to leave us a review when you subscribe to the show on iTunes.

Warren Sharp and d-Rx from Pyromanic.com Stop By - 11/16/16

It's 2 interviews for the price of none this week on the Wednesday podcast. First, PodVader talks with Warren Sharp of SharpFootballAnalysis.com (@SharpFootball on Twitter) to discuss the trends he's seen develop this year in the NFL. The biggest trend that has been a huge predictor of outcomes, the strength of schedule (be sure to check that out at SharpFootballStats.com before wagering at betdsi.com using our promo code: fanup10). Warren also has a nice rant on why Bill Belichick is the reason to blame for the Patriots loss to the Seahawks. Interesting stuff to hear.  Also, Warren explains why match ups will be key in the playoffs this year. Then, Derek or d-Rx from Pyromaniac.com (@pyroman1ac on Twitter) joins Pod to discuss the BlogTalkRadio Fantasy Expert League (looks like the Final 4 are pretty much in place). Plus, what you think you know but you don't know about the fantasy season so far and what is still to come.  Finally, Chris, our Saints SuperFan, helps Pod preview the Thursday Night Game featuring the New Orleans Saints and the Carolina Panthers. A big matchup for these NFC South teams as a loss could take that team out of the playoffs.  Email us - nextfanup@gmail.com Tweet us - @nfupodcast Read our stuff at www.nextfanup.wordpress.com Leave us a review on iTunes (easiest way to help out our show) - subscribe, listen and share with a friend!

John Sahly, PFW Fantasy and Thursday Night Preview - 11/9/16

It's an election edition of the Next Fan Up podcast, but Pod Vader has no interest in talking about the new President of the US.  He's talking football and specifically in San Diego.  John Sahly from Pro Football Weekly joins the podcast and after they discuss the push for the fantasy playoffs in the BlogTalkRadio Fantasy Expert League, they get into a discussion as to what's next for San Diego. Voters there turned down the proposal to raise hotel taxes to fund a new stadium, but does Dean Spanos really want to leave the area? Also, another high profile player had some less than nice words for Commissioner Roger Goodell. What does that mean? Then Sam (Giants) join Pod to preview the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football.  The stats say this could be a close game and the guys are picking seperate teams to win this game.

It's a surprise drop in from the fearless leader as PodVader fills in for Justin (Seahawks) to help guide the recaps today.  Justin is on assignment.  Nick (Chiefs) and Monty (Raiders) do a great job of leading all the recaps from the Sunday games.

Patriots/Bills - Tom Brady is great Jets/Browns - Jets should be looking to trade and build for the future Lions/Texans - Brock's story Chiefs/Colts - Tyreke Hill uptick in production thanks to Nick Foles Raiders/Buccaneers - Raiders had no business winning this game Seahawks/Saints - The loss is squarely on Seattle Cardinals/Panthers - A very frustrated Cam Newton despite the win Email us - nextfanup@gmail.com Tweet us - @nfupodcast Check out our website: www.nextfanup.wordpress.com Subscribe and share our podcast wherever great podcasts are heard!

Arthur Arkush, Pro Football Weekly & TNF Preview - 10/26/16

PodVader sits down with Arthur Arkush of ProFootballWeekly.com and they discuss a myriad of NFL topics. First, congrats to John Sahly who not only tied Pod in the BlogTalkRadio Fantasy Expert League but also has a new baby at home.  From there, Arthur and Pod discuss the possible move of the Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas and how that is tied into other potential movement in the league, aka San Diego Chargers. Chargers owner, Alex Spanos, seems keen on keeping the team in San Diego, but it's not looking like they'll get the votes to go their way come election day for public funding.  All this movement in the NFL is tied together with the dropping TV ratings, as well as the job Commissioner Roger Goodell is doing. The NFL doesn't seem to have their priorities straight when dealing with things like domestic violence vs on the field celebrations. Are the owners unhappy though? Arthur quotes a Puff Daddy song in response.  And doesn't it seem like there aren't any real clear cut candidates for MVP? Minnesota has done a great job this season thanks to their defense, but who can be singled out? Matt Ryan is a top QB statisically, but is that thanks to his running backs (not to mention, not looking so good record-wise). And Tom Brady brings a whole new level to New England, but the Patriots got the job done without him. Could a player win Rookie of the Year and MVP, Ezekial Elliott?   Then PodVader talks with Ryan, the Jacksonville SuperFan, about the struggles the Jaguars have had this early part of the season. How about that Thursday Night game tomorrow vs the Tennessee Titans?   Email us - nextfanup@gmail.com Tweet us - @nfupodcast Check out the new website - www.nextfanup.wordpress.com Subscribe on iTunes (or wherever great podcasts are heard) so you don't miss a show.

The Inspirational Wally Spurlin of Fantasy Sharks - 10/19/16

It's the interview edition of Next Fan Up. This week, Wally Spurlin of FantasySharks.com.   Wally was crushed by PodVader in the BlogTalkRadio Fantasy Expert League. Wally was let down by some big name players who are underperforming. Pod got lucky as he had Ben Roethlisberger at QB but had some of his other players step up big for him, including someone sitting on his bench.  What do you do if you own these star players who haven't lived up to their draft status?  Wally shares some insights.  Then it's an NFC North divisional battle on Thursday Night Football - the Chicago Bears visit the Green Bay Packers. Tom (Bears) and Brian (Packers) break it all down.  Rodgers' struggles. The Bears mediocrity. And who the X-Factors will be.  Let's just say, Sam - our Giants SuperFan, is going to be annoyed with Brian's pick.   Email us: nextfanup@gmail.com Tweet us: @nfupodcast Check out our Power Rankings, SuperFan Previews and Fantasy Hawt Takes on our new website: www.nextfanup.wordpress.com .  Subscribe, leave a review, share and enjoy the podcast on iTunes so you never miss a show

Now they move on to much tougher opponents while dealing with injuries and under-performing stars.  Speaking of stars, Tom Brady is coming back this week. Matt cautions that he expects to see some rust from the QB upon his return. He also discusses the surprise teams at the quarter mark in the season. What's going on with the Panthers and their Defense? Are the Eagles for real? The Cardinals play on Thursday night and they're a surprise struggling team.  Finally, all those weapons for the Patriots and Tom Brady - expect to see them be either "boom or bust" players for fantasy.  Pod provides a quick preview for the Thursday Night Football game between the Cardinals and the 49ers.  We have a new Dolphins SuperFan - Andy - and he sent that application in to nextfanup@gmail.com Tweet us @nfupodcast Facebook.com/nfupodcast is where you can read the individual team previews.  Subscribe, listen, review and share the podcast on iTunes and everywhere great podcasts are heard.

Razzball's Jay Defeats PodVader and TNF Preview - 9/28/16

It's the Wednesday Interview edition of the Next Fan Up podcast. This week, PodVader feels shame as Jay from Razzball defeated him in the BlogTalkRadio Fantasy Expert League. It was a total thrashing. Jay even had a good gut feeling about the Bills versus the Cardinals in Week 3.  Still, it's a little early to panic, so don't - that's the advice Jay shares with the community as they discuss some RB situations in the league and the injury bug that is plaguing the NFL right now.  Pod then previews the Thursday Night game featuring the Miami Dolphins and the Cincinnati Bengals. Pod believes in one of these 1-2 teams and the other, well, he says they're right where we thought they would be.  If you'd like to win a $20 gift card, all you need to do is send in an email - nextfanup@gmail.com and have your email chosen as the Email of the Week.  You can follow us on Twitter - @nfupodcast (mmmm, snacks - more about that on Thursday) Check out the previews on Facebook.com/nfupodcast Subscribe, download, share and enjoy the show wherever great podcasts are heard,especially on iTunes!

Jhurell Pressley, Packers RB and Joel Henard, Fantasy Insiders - 9/14/16

The Interview podcast revisits a guest from the past this week.  Proud to welcome back the rookie RB for the Green Bay Packers, Jhurell Pressley.  Pod talks to him about his rollarcoaster ride through being an undrafted free agent signed by the Minnesota Vikings, putting up monster numbers in preseason week 4, released by the Vikings, picked up by the Packers and now getting ready to face his old team in Week 2 of the regular season. Revenge, perhaps?  Pod also asks Jhurell about the social life of an NFL player and how he manages to keep fit through the season. The next guest is Joel Henard of the Fantasy Insiders and one of the competitors in the BlogTalkRadio Fantasy Expert League. He lost to Pod in week 1.  The difference - Ben Roethlisberger threw 3 TDs but only 2 of them were to Antonio Brown.  They also look at the fantasy prospects of RBs in the NFL this season. Looking like RB-By-Committee is the new norm. Something fantasy owners are going to have to deal with alot.  They take a look at their opponents for next week.  Finally, it's a SuperFan Battle!  We bring you the Thursday Preview one day early and this week features Andrew for the New York Jets vs Robert for the Buffalo Bills. Pod has said many times he sees the Jets going 0 for 7 to start the season. Could they steal a victory this week in Buffalo vs their former coach?

Daily Fantasy Game Advice and PodVader Calls Denver Dirty - 9/9/16

Welcome to another edition of the Next Fan Up podcast. Every Friday, our SuperFans Sam (Giants) and Rob (Bills) will present some thoughts on the players available in the Daily Fantasy games. Who you should target and maybe who you should stay away from.   This week, PodVader start the show with a quick recap of the Thursday Night Kickoff game between the Panthers and the Broncos.

Looking at the Deep Roster Players NFL Preseason Week 4 - 9/1/2016

It's Preseason Week 4 in the NFL, but don't worry because PodVader and the SuperFans have ALOT to talk about. Pod is joined by Neil (Redskins), Justin (Seahawks) and Don (Ravens) to discuss what each SuperFan is watching in the final preseason game. Specifically, those deep roster guys that you don't want to see cut because the other teams are going to scoop them up on their practice squad.  Amongst the discussion of players, the guys also talk about the state of backup QBs in the NFL. If you lose your starting QB - like Minnesota - is your season done? And how about the WR position? Pod seems to think that the WR position is especially deep this year for most teams so sneaking a late draft guy or an over-achieving undrafted guy onto the practice squad, shouldn't be that difficult this year.  Pod has some strong thoughts on the coverage of Colin Kaepernick's "protest".  And the whole crew wraps up with what they've learned during this preseason.  We're looking for a Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions SuperFan. Send us emails to nextfanup@gmail.com to apply. Tweet us - @nfupodcast Check out the previews for each team at facebook.com/nfupodcast.  Download, subscribe and share the podcast from iTunes if you please.

They also discuss Colin Kaepernick's fall from a talent perspective and how much was tied to Jim Harbaugh.

NFL Preseason Week 2 Preview - 8/18/16

It's the NFL Preseason, Week 2.  PodVader along with SuperFans, Neil (Redskins), Patrick (Patriots) and James (Texans), are here to preview what you can expect. Or more appropriately, what you should be watching for.   While the team starts off talking about the Eagles at the Steelers, this leads to a conversation about the letter sent to the NFLPA regarding players (James Harrison, Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers among them) lack of cooperation into an investigation of the Al Jazeera America report that these players used PEDs.  It was all fun and games when the Commish went after Tom Brady and his balls, but now Steeler and Packer fans are getting to know what it's like when one man has absolute power to do whatever he wants - because it was negotiated in the CBA.  Patrick has a few kind words about that.  Then it's back to the previews and we discuss the fall of Colin Kaepernick and investigate if Jerry Jones qualifies for the Hall of Fame.  Friday game previews start around 43:20.  Saturday game previews around 57minutes.  Email us - nextfanup@gmail.com Tweet us, @nfupodcast Don't miss any of the written previews by the SuperFans, all are found at facebook.com/nfupodcast.

Another exciting edition of the podcast featuring PodVader along with Greg (Steelers), Neil (Redskins) and Justin (Seahawks).  Today the guys talk about Nick Foles becoming a Chief.

Ezekiel Elliott dealing with a hamstring - Cowboys look like a mess this offseason, but Texas still thinks they have the best chance to win the Super Bowl.  Mark Madorin, President of Stadiums USA (StadiumsUSA.com) is the special guest this week. Mark talks about the improvements coming to the Pro Football Hall of Fame which should make Dayton, OH a true vacation destination and more than just on HOF Weekend. New stadium up in Minnesota and it's a lovely place - maybe the jewel of the NFL. That is until the Los Angeles stadium is built. And what about plans in Las Vegas? The SuperFans then share their thoughts on the Class of 2016. PodVader thinks there are a couple that don't belong. The guys also discuss some of the players not in and potential members of the Class of 2017 - hint: one of the greatest RBs of all time leads the list.  Finally, Dan (Colts) and Brian (Packers) provide the first SuperFan Battle of the season, although it's really more of a "what to watch for" on Sunday.  Email us like Jarrod did - nextfanup@gmail.com Tweet us @NFUpodcast Check out all the SuperFans previews of the games at facebook.com/nfupodcast Download, Subscribe, Listen and Share the podcast on iTunes or wherever great podcasts are heard!

Christopher Harris On All Things Fantasy! - 7/29/16

PodVader and SuperFans Greg (Steelers), Neil (Washington), and Justin (Seahawks) discuss another week of NFL news.  Ryan Fitzpatrick finally came to an agreement with the New York Jets. Still less than some of the younger guys got this year but looks to be the same strategy the Redskins are employing with Kirk Cousins. No matter what, Pod doesn't like the Jets first half of the schedule and doesn't think Fitzpatrick will make much of a difference.  Christopher Harris of HarrisFootball.com drops by to talk about Fantasy Football, his philosophies and rankings. They get into talking about the proper way to evaluate and project players for fantasy football which leads to a conversation about the Vikings. They also make a bet (did they make a bet?) involving the Jets (both Chris and Pod are big Patriot fans). Chris answers a few listener questions from  nextfanup@gmail.com  and @nfupodcast on Twitter.  The SuperFans return to discuss Josh Gordon's reinstatement. Both Greg and Pod have a stick in their craw with this decision by the Commissioner since they both have players they feel could have gotten a lighter sentence.  This led to a conversation about the Cowboys and their 3 players suspended for a portion of the upcoming season and the fine they will have to pay. Neil mentions this is similar in soccer with penalties accrued for a team.  The guys wrap things up with a few other stories that happened in the last week.

Warren Sharp Football Analysis and more! - 7/21/16

PodVader and the SuperFans - Greg (Steelers), Justin (Seahawks) and Don (Ravens) - react to another week of NFL news.  They begin the show by responding to an email sent to nextfanup@gmail.com . Jared thinks there are too many Aaron Rodger haters on the show.  Next up, Pod talks to Warren Sharp of SharpFootballAnalysis.com. Warren has produced a book previewing the upcoming 2016 season, full of visual stats and such. Warren dives in explaining why certain teams need to develop better playcalling and illustrates that with the statistics he's found. Plus, is there any hope for Cleveland fans (beyond basketball that is)? Pod and the SuperFans run through the latest news in the NFL including the Steelers cutting a tight end, Josh Gordon applying for reinstatement, Eugene Monroe and Peanut Tillman announce their retirements and Ezekial Elliott leads the league in jersey sales. That segways into a conversation about fantasy football. The SuperFans are doing a unique dynasty league format where each Fan must select a player from their team in the first round. Some interesting decisions need to be made and Pod is called crazy. What's new?

Franchise Tags, Brady and Jason Fitz! - 7/14/16

Another edition of the podcast! (Pod is working on getting a word of the day calendar to get some better adjectives for the show...) PodVader is joined by Neil (Redskins) and James (Texans) to talk about the latest news in the NFL. They start by sharing their thoughts on the Franchise tendered players. Who's going to sign a "Deal or No Deal?" Nick (Chiefs) shares his thoughts on Eric Berry and Tom (Bears) has an opinion on Alshon Jeffery.  Next up, Ball-ghazi, Deflategate, Ben Affleck's bane of existance - call it what you want but Tom Brady won't have an en banc hearing and looks like he'll be serving a suspension. But the ruling has much more far reaching implications for the NFL and the US for that matter. We've posted our SuperFans' Chat on our Facebook page (facebook.com/nfupodcast).  Jason Fitz is a member of The Band Perry and host of The Jason Fitz show. He shares his opinions about Tom Brady and the Patriots. Fitz is a big Raiders fan so he shares his top Raiders of all time and the expectations for the 2016 season. He also bumped into a guy he's idolized forever in music (hint: he might be part of the Super Rock God band, Bon Jovi!). Turns out, Pod and Jason have more in common than their first names.  We want to hear from you!

NFC North 2016 Division Preview - 7/03/16

The NFC North or Davey wasn't here.  Andrew (Jets) leads the SuperFans of the NFC North on their roundtable discussion about the upcoming season as it pertains to their division. Brian (Packers), Tom (Bears) and Will (Lions) were all present. Davey (Vikings) wasn't there to defend his team. But first - James (Texans) presents the Game of Thrones comparisons and it's only fitting that the King of the North makes an appearance in this division.  After the nonsense, the football talk starts with a discussion of the all division team which features more Packers than any other team.  At the end, PodVader didn't agree with the SuperFans on their assessment of their teams. He's higher on the Bears and lower on the Vikings (his hate knows no bounds).   What do you think though?

AFC West 2016 Division Preview - 6/30/16

The AFC West is the AFC Best? Could be. Here to discuss it are Nick (Chiefs), Monty (Raiders), Louis (Broncos) and Ken (Chargers).  After they run down their all division team, each SuperFan breaks down how they see the season playing out. Interesting that they all pretty much agree that it's going to be a close division race, but they all seem to have a different order in how they finish - except the Chargers are in the same spot pretty much across the board.  James (Texans) shares his Game of Thrones comparisons.  PodVader shares his thoughts on the division - and let's Monty know the Raiders are still on his radar but there may be another team in the same division that has caught that twinkle in his eye.  Email us your thoughts - nextfanup@gmail.com Tweet us @nfupodcast Facebook.com/nfupodcast for all our division previews and lists!

NFC South 2016 Division Preview - 6/26/16

The NFC South or the Carolina Panthers division.  PodVader introduces the show before Justin (Seahawks) leads the roundtable of NFC South fans - Jimmy (Panthers), Chris (Saints), Tim (Falcons) and Dan (Buccaneers - at least for the Game of Thrones segment...darn Trans-Atlantic connections!). James (Texans) does kick off the preview with his Game of Thrones comparisons for each of the teams. Then the SuperFans get into their all division team which includes quite a few Panther players but also a great special teams debate.  Pod wraps up the show with his predictions for the season ending records of each team, but admits that he was swayed by the SuperFans and believes he might be the most off on this particular division.  What do you think?

They highlight their thoughts on how the season should play out.  Next up, it's James (Texans) with the popular Game of Thrones segment. Which characters best represent the teams in this division?

Arthur Arkush of ProFootballWeekly.com on the NFL Spring Meetings - 5/26/16

PodVader and the SuperFans are talking about the latest NFL news. This week, Greg (Steelers), Neil (Redskins), Justin (Seahawks) and James (Texans) have quite a bit to discuss.  They start with the NFL Spring Meetings and the sites awarded SuperBowls for the future. It's a pretty clear message that unless you have a brand new stadium or spent a ton of money, you won't see the SuperBowl very soon. This leads to the obvious conversation "Should we still be using Roman numerals for the Super Bowl?"  Pod is besides himself that a majority of the SuperFans are against the Roman numbers. More on that later in the show.  Pod talks with Arthur Arkush from ProFootballWeekly.com about the owners meetings. He pulls back the curtain on what actually happens there. They also get into how much the NFL is dealing with the US Government - Deflategate hearings and concussion reports. Could the NFL be jeopardizing their monoply status?  Arthur was also at the Bears' OTAs and shares the optimism this time of year brings. Back to the SuperFans...they get into the concussion conversation as it relates to the NFL. Is this more of "any publicity is good publicity?"   There was a rules change in regards to instant replay passed at the meetings. Ankle injuries are the thing in the NFL (and with podcast hosts) right now.  Bills GM said something stupid. Couple of Jets WRs are skipping out on OTAs. We revisit what the fans say about Roman numerals and the Super Bowl. Breaking news on the Ravens getting punished for cheating. And there's a special treat for those that listen to the very end of the show.  Email us nextfanup@gmail.com .

Battle of the Matts - Williamson vs Chatham - Next Fan Up 5/19/16

The Greatest RB Of All Time Debate won't stop!  This week, we give Matt Williamson (Dynasty Blueprint podcast, @williamsonnfl on Twitter) and Matt Chatham (FootballbyFootball.com, @chatham58) the floor to debate the topic. But first... PodVader is joined by Neil (Redskins), Rob (Bills), Davey (Vikings) and a late arriving Justin (Seahawks) to discuss the latest news in the NFL. We begin with the injuries piling up in Buffalo. Rob gives his take on the situation and what the Bills could possible do to ride out the injuries (can anyone say Beer-man???).  ESPN's new TheUndefeated.com debuted with a story on RGIII's time in Washington. Neil has some strong opinions about how the young QB conducted himself with the coaching staff and people who were there to be mentors. The SuperFans wonder how that would play with other teams. Then it's debate time (around the 25 minute mark). Matt Williamson is a big Jim Brown guy. Matt Chatham is not. They discuss some of the other RBs that could be considered, including a good look at Adrian Peterson's resume. Also, the one guy from the modern era that doesn't get enough credit (Hint: He shares a nickname with a HOF linebacker).  The show wraps with Patrick (Patriots) joining the show to talk about the NFL's Crime and Punishment division as the Baltimore Ravens were found to violate some rules during their rookie camp.  Patrick and Davey debate the way the NFL handles dealing out penalties to teams. They actually agree on many of their main points. Pod takes the chance to make a "deflate" joke.  Follow on Twitter: @nfupodcast Facebook.com/nfupodcast Participate in our conversations - nextfanup@gmail.com Download and subscribe on iTunes or check out the aha Radio app available in iTunes and the Google Play store.

A jampacked show with PodVader, Greg (Steelers), Neil (Redskins), Justin (Seahawks) and James (Eagles).  We start by discussing the Eagles trade with the Browns to get the number 2 pick in the draft.

We talk about the pros and cons on both side and then Justin drops a historical fact to put water on the whole conversation.  Then we get into Josh Norman being released by the Carolina Panthers. Where are the good fits? Why aren't the Jaguars jumping at the opportunity? What do the Panthers know that nobody else seems to know yet? PodVader then jumps to the interviews around the 41minute mark - Branden Jackson, DE/LB Texas Tech; Jhurell Pressley, RB New Mexico; Russell Hansbrough, RB Missouri.  These guys share the process they went through leading up to the Draft, where they'll be on Draft Weekend and one of these guys, Pod shamelessly recruits for the Patriots.  Finally, the guys wrap up the show revisiting the SuperFan Super Mock Draft. The differences between version 1 and version 2 (plus the similarities) and where will Paxton Lynch end up?

Then Pod talks with Andrew Brandt, his old friend from ESPN. Brandt is the ESPN Sports Business Analyst, columinst for MMQB, Director of Sports Law at Villanova and former VP for the Green Bay Packers.  They discuss what is going on behind the scenes with NFL teams right now, the Colin Kaepernick situation, remembering Eugene Parker and the concussion story in the NFL.   The SuperFans return and share thoughts on the Kaepernick situation and could there be interest in the Titans Number 1 pick?  The SuperFan Super Mock Draft is going on right now. Next week, you'll hear how the first round went.  Next up, Pod and the SuperFans dive in on a couple of articles from the Sporting News.

Best Available Free Agents, Power Ranking the Divisions - 3/31/16

In the middle period where Free Agency slows down and its still early to focus on the NFL Draft, PodVader and the SuperFans discuss the best available free agents left on the market. Join PodVader, Neil (Redskins), Justin (Seahawks), Australian Simon (Bengals), Tom (Bears) and Robert (the new Bills SuperFan) as they go position by position.  They also get into which division is the best in the NFL heading into a new season. Lots of differing opinions there.  Finally, Pod takes a break and talks to DJ Meze of the Patriots Beat podcast (part of CLNS network on BlogTalkRadio and available on iTunes).  They talk about the moves made by the Patriots so far in free agency, why Pod doesn't like the Chandler Jones trade and the position other than offensive line that they still need to focus on. Pod seems to be in the minority when it comes to that last topic. All the SuperFan position have been filled and the SuperFan Super Mock Draft is underway. Podcasts to come later this month.  We want you to be involved with the show!

Should AFC Championship games be lost over a missed extra point - will Patrick and Podvader finally see the value of special teams now that it cost them a shot at another ring? ...and yet only one question is coming out of the NFC tonight - can the Panthers possibly be stopped?
