Laces Out Podcast Season 3 Episode 2

So much for having two podcasts before the Super Bowl. But it’s okay, because Ben and I had Joe on to talk about the big game, annoying storylines, and which young QB we’re riding with next season. Enjoy!

A Tale of Two Postgames

Next week, Ben and I (and possibly Joe) are going to have a podcast where we talk about the Super Bowl after the dust has settled. But for now, we’ve had half a week to think about the Super Bowl, and I think it is time to talk about press conferences.

Cam Newton behaved like most expected him to. He played with emotion, and when it didn’t go his way, he quit. He didn’t jump on a fumble because he was afraid of injury. He didn’t last too long in the press conference because he was tired of hearing Chris Harris, Jr., literally right behind him, answering happy questions about how easily they stopped Cam. He gave the legion of Newton Nukers (trademark pending) a ton of fuel in their hot take effigies of the 26 year old from Auburn.

I actually had someone tell me “it didn’t bother me that he fell on the ground. It bothered me that he rolled in bounds, which could potentially disrupt play.”

…Sure?

I For One Welcome Our Dabbing Overlords

At this rate my fellow Saints fans are going to accuse me of liking the Panthers.

I swear I don’t! I’m just at the point where I have to talk myself into this or else I’m going to be very disappointed on February 7th.

Two years ago, I was convinced that there was NO CHANCE the Seahawks could beat the Broncos. The Broncos had Peyton and a dynamic, record-breaking offense. The Seahawks had a decent offense and an unlikable cast of characters. I said it on prediction threads, on podcasts, to friends: the Broncos were going to get Peyton his second ring.

And then…

I Hate The Offseason, But Probably Not As Much As Josh Freeman Does

It’s been a couple of weeks since I took a look at NFL news. At this point, you’re mostly going to see reports of injuries, how rookies look in training camp, and veteran players complaining about attention rookies receive. But a few notable stories have crept their way into this offseason wasteland, and I figured we’d acknowledge them. Welcome to my favorite part of every football dead-time, I HATE THE OFFSEASON!
