Real Football, by Real Fans. Mike and I (Matt) have long loved football, but have dreaded most sports talk shows - so we decided to make our own! With the tagline “Real Football by Real Fans”, we set out to follow specific players’ journeys during the season, and dive into team results and future prospects in the offseason. During the Season: Instead of the typical recap show, we each pick an assortment of individual players to follow, and document their journeys through the season. These players are a mix of veterans, potential breakouts, and rookies to keep it interesting. We also comment on our current fantasy standings, in both our season-long league and our weekly head-to-head contests. Offseason: We dive into the teams one by one and take a look at what worked, what didn't and what changes we feel must be made in order to be competitive. This is where 2M Football started a few years ago on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChbivN3Zv9XY2ZDvkOEVqxA), but this time around we’re coming to you Podcast-style.
