Far From Lombardi

Rob and Tony again this week, talking about the impact of what should be the last game but is now the penultimate. Things get exciting as playoffs are just round the corner

Rob and Tony coming from audio only this week as we battle Christmas, illness and lethargy.

Mark's away fighting all those Christmas shoppers and weekend dad's getting last minute presents from the Lidl middle aisle so the lads rope in Phil Chapman. Tony tries to work out if Rob is actually any good at his job by pestering Phil and the lads eventually talk NFL.

The big 3 are back as the boys continue to creep more and more dad chat into a podcast advertised as being about the NFL. 

Lads are back in the studio and even more impressive is Tom is finally off his tag and made his way back in the game. Rob decides he's sick of doing all the leg work and let's Tony host one, you decided how he done.

We're just audio this week people, sorry about that. The Da's have all got a bedtime so couldn't record late cause we're all pathetic.

No Tony means the lads sign up a young keen to impress rookie to help with the role as they discuss week 11.

Rob, Tony and Mark talk week 10 and finally liking NFL again as their teams all pick up wins, the lads contemplate starting their new pod Da From Lombardi.

Three tired boys talk NFL all while moaning about being Dads.

The lads discuss week 8, Tony declares himself an oracle and we have a very awkward conversation on what was probably a morally corrupt bet.

This week Rob, Tony and Mark do their best to talk about everything but the NFL because their teams are terrible and it hurts to mention it.   Check out the audio feeds for a chance to catch a bonus episode and with Jamie Phillips admin of the jaguars fab groups in the UK who came on and told us a fantastic story about meeting the players and ending up in the press box.

The lads are joined by Jamie Phillips of the Jags Across The Pond and JagsUK social media platforms to tell us all about his incredible experience from The Jaguars most recent to London

Rob and Tony are joined by comedian James Allen as we discuss week 6 and the events of the London Game on Sunday. 

Tony and Rob are back with tales of the big city and the first London game, Mark meanwhile has done nothing as usual and the lads catch up with the action from week 5.

The boys are back, at least 3 of them anyway as they talk through week 4 and get bollocked by Rob.

Just Rob and just vibes

Week 2 in the books and the lads discuss just how ahead of themselves they may have got in Week 1, Tom and Rob are miserable over their team's result, Mark is just miserable and Tony has finally been nicked.

Week 2 in the books and the lads contemplate just how much they may have got it wrong last week, no Tony this week as he's finally been nicked while the rest of boys are miserable for their team's performances and Mark's just miserable.

The lads review how Week 1 went in the NFL with some insights that only they can, they provide updates on their fantasy and look ahead to Week 2.

The lads are finally back together and in studio, Tom's swelling has finally gone down, Mark is able to leave his house after finally finding his key. As always Tony and Rob are there in all their glory, well not all of it in Rob's case.

The lads are back with this season's prediction podcast in typical Far From fashion it can't be simple and is put in the forms of bets, whether that's taken straight from a bookies website or the lads giving each other odds.   we're also joined by comedian and Texans fan and former resident Phil Chapman who tells us about getting into the NFL while in America and how he's seen it grow in the UK

The boys are here with their first studio episode of the pod now available as video too, if you'd like to check it out head over to YouTube and search Far From Lombardi.

It's the second year of our now annual listener challenge, the winners of our twitter competition and best placed listener from last year enter this season looking to dethrone the Far From lads. Well Rob (me) cause I'm the king of fantasy on this podcast.

The lads jump on the pod to discuss how training camps seem to be going so far, the first of the preseason games and their feelings on the newest Hard Knocks debut episode

At times the NFL seems a constant carousel of players, veterans losing jobs and established stars becoming victims of the salary cap and moving on. The problem is it always seems to happen right after you've bought their jersey and unless you're loaded it gets expensive to keep replacing the names on the back. If you're a veteran NFL Fan you've suffered this, if you're a Rookie we're here to help before it's too late. This episode s a recommendation for a jersey for every team in the NFL one that should stand you the test of time and get you a decade or more of wear with pride.

After letting himself be enticed last week Tom vows he won't be wagering on any predictions this episode, something Rob takes as a challenge. Mark finally gets to give a prediction and all four lads make an outlandish one to get us up to 100.

This pod was meant to be 100 predictions, 100 days out of the NFC it's now just the AFC as life got in the way don't fret though as it's a good one, my favourite kind of one! Gambling heavy, talking shite heavy.

Not to be outshone by the saltiness of Aaron Rodgers Rob has decided to sit out the non mandatory pods. So rejoice in the limited number of C Bombs, the lack of Chiefs crowbarring and general all round nicer ambience.       *Clearly going to be less funny though. Rob.

Join the lads as they discuss the impact of the Draft, the big moves at QB and Rodgers whinging. Did we see the moves coming? would we have done the same?

Mark wanted you all to have a draft special so here it is, quite bet heavy this one which is always one of my favourites.

Just a quick one to say we're sorry no episode this week but we'll be back next week with a pre draft special.

The lads attempt at a mock draft with very little knowledge of the college, besides resident expert Tom of course.

The lads face a serious of questions all centering numero uno. Pardon the interruptions while discussing Deshawn Watson but Tom had turned it up to 11.

It was Mark's week to take charge of the pod and as expected from a man who struggles to remember to breathe it was chaotic. Starting off by recording two days late, sorry about that. Anyway we had a go at redraft of the 2020 draft to see just how things might have changed with hindsight.

This week's episode is a special awards episode, not your standard MVP but awards for moments or people who we feel showed exemplary Far From Lombardi Spirit

We started this week's podcast a bit differently with a message of condolences and thanks to Chris Wesseling and his family, a great podcaster and inspiration to us all. If you'd like to help support Wess' family with their loss their is a go fund me which you can find on our twitter @farfromlombardi. The rest of the podcast is a look back at a very surprising Super Bowl as the lads elate in punishing Rob further after an already disappointing loss.

The lads discuss 'The Big One': what each team needs to do to win; things to look out for, and our Request-A-Bet specials.

We all know how it is for some fans and certain people you've not really paid attention or ben interested all year but now it's all anybody can talk about you're ready to be all in, poor takes and ill researched opinions and all. Well we at Far From Lombardi are here for you, we've got you covered with the story of each team's season to the Super Bowl. Their strengths and weaknesses as well as all the nuanced bits in between that got them to the big game. So don't be scared to look a fool as these two fools Rob and Tom give you everything you need to know to not miss out.

So there it is, we've got our Super Bowl find out how the Championship Weekend went down and the latest updates from the end of the NFL regular season. 

Then there were four, a look back at the Divisional round and discuss the last 2 teams in each conference as one game stands in the way of The Super Bowl for each time.

A look back at the first week of the playoffs, divisional round is through and things get serious as last year's league best come into the fray. we discuss the comings and goings in management and just what is happening at the Texans as well as a cheeky look at just where Deshaun Watson could end up if we had our way.

A look at everything that went on in the NFL last week, final week brought far more than just games. Also a look at the upcoming Wildcard Weekneds and our feelings on who moves forward with a bit of bonus insight into the College final happening this week.

It's the penultimate week of the season and there's still a lot to be decided. The lads discuss the implications of last week and what to watch out for in Week 17 on top of coach firings with black Monday looming.

Merry Christmas from us all @farfromlombardi, this weeks episode is just Mark and Rob doing something a bit different in the spirit of Christmas with each game and franchise

Tony drags Mehdi on to this weeks episode to save himself the embarrassment of having done no work, the lads discuss this weeks games a long with their playoff implications. Rob is quick to point out the many things he's right out while Tony only wants to talk Dolphins.

Tony tells us all the fate of his bankers this week before gloating about how right him and Rob were about Washington. The lads make their early calls for coach of the year on top of the usual previous week analysis and looking ahead at the betting lines week 14.

We've got just a quarter of the season left and only two teams have so far been eliminated from the playoffs, Rob and Tony answer some of the big questions facing the teams going forward and who can be a surprise package despite a poor start.

A small lefty goes missing this week just like his Quarteback, meanwhile the lads discuss the week that's gone by in the NFL and what it means for the rest of the season. Is the shine falling off Brady? Were we all too quick to write off the Seahawks and crown the Cardinals and just what does Derek Carr do for the Raiders?

Week 10, No Tony No Cry a smooth Dolphins free atmosphere as we discuss the last week in the NFL and the heat rising in the race to the playoffs

a look at the divisions and the playoff picture halfway through the season, this episode was sponsored by NFL UK CARD BREAKS. and features a special guest

Everyone's played 8 now and it's time to start considering just how realistic the chances are looking at who is or isn't making the playoffs then there's the actual NFL and not just the fantasy league.
