Off Field Distractions Radio

We make our 2022 debut in March, due to many different circumstances.  But we have a ton to talk about.  We recap what we missed (Super Bowl, College Football Playoff, etc), but the highlights of our topics are NFL Free Agency and the drastic changes we've already seen.  How drastically we've seen this offseason take a change, with the AFC West becoming the toughest division in Football. We look to get back on track for the remainder of 2022.  We appreciate your patience.  

This week we diverted from the recent topic of college football.  With the sudden/not-so-sudden firing of Urban Meyer, we look at the whirl wind of a year he had as the Jaguars coach.  On top of that, are we on the verge of a COVID 2.0 sports delays?  We talk about the updates on current protocols and how we expect to see the remainder of these seasons play out.  But how could we have an episode without discussing the future of Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay with the recent comments by him and Cris Collinsworth.  Be sure to follow and rate us on all of your social media and podcast networks! 

This was one of our most interesting episodes.  We talk a lot about parody in all sports.  It's a combination of the current College Football Playoff rankings and the MLB lockout.  This leads the guys into a discussion about all sports and ways to improve the sports to bring in more parody and in turn more fans. Follow us on all your social media, and be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast network.  

This week we discuss ONLY college football.  We dig into the last College Football Playoff rankings before Championship Weekend, with our own predictions of how the games will play out.  This will lead us into our final four prediction of who will make the playoff.  Not only that, but we have a thorough discussion of the coaching changes of both Lincoln Riley and Brian Kelly, leaving for USC and LSU respectively.  The landscape of college football is beginning to change, and we are here to discuss it further.  

It's been teasing for the last few episodes, but this week it finally happened.  Bryan lost his mind.  The College Football Playoff rankings (along with Devon's continued jabs) took over this week as we discussed the frustration of the current ranking system.  We also discussed the first half of the NFL season and where we see the remainder going.  And how amount "Midnight" Mel Tucker about to get one of the largest contracts in college football.  Subscribe to us on all your favorite podcast listening devices, and be sure to follow on social media!  

This week we open with a discussion of how the NCAA rankings have evolved in the last two weeks and where we see the rest of the season playing out going into the College Football Playoff.  The main topic this week is the continued struggles of the Broncos.  Bryan takes a deep dive into why he believes this to be the case, and the person who he points the blame at may actually surprise and upset many Broncos fans.  Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to provide feedback, and be sure to subscribe through Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and Spotify and give us a 5 star rating.  

We're back!  After a short hiatus, Bryan, Devon, and Manny get back together to discuss the sudden departure of Jon Gruden after his e-mail exchanges were brought to light.  What's next for the NFL and this entire scandal, we discuss in further detail.  In addition, after Alabama was upset by an unranked Texas A&M, we discuss how Alabama only dropped to #5 in the rankings, and how we anticipate the remainder of the season to play out with only 6 weeks to go.  And we make our "Way Too Early Top Four" projections.  Please subscribe to us where ever you listen to Podcasts and follow us on both Facebook and Twitter.  Give us a five star review and comment on what you'd like to hear discussed in the future.  

We're back again, after a short time away.  We come back with an update on the Aaron Rodgers situation, and how we expect it to play out.  Devon is still fighting with his emotions, and Bryan is anticipating him coming to the Broncos.  Our main topic is how much entitlement should athletes be allowed to show?  This comes off the tails of Cristiano Ronaldo cost Coca Cola shares to drop by $4 Billion with one word during a Euro 2020 press conference.  We discuss the effects on players, teams, and corporate sponsors and what to expect from a reaction.  Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to provide more feedback, and thanks for listening! 

This is a first for us, as Bryan, Manny, and Devon cover the draft LIVE! We react to the first 11 picks while discussing the other items which occurred in sports this week. Where is Aaron Rodgers going, now that he has made it clear he doesn't want to return to Green Bay? Bryan isn't allowed to celebrate if it's the Broncos (in front of Devon at least). Jeff Bridich steps down as GM of the Rockies, and Manny believes we will actually see a change in the guard at 20th and Blake. Listen along while we react to the first round of the NFL Draft, and be sure to let us know what you think.

It's the end of April and that means it's officially draft season! We take a look at the top 11 picks (you're welcome Manny, we can include the Giants). Will five QB's go in the top ten? Does anybody care about defensive players anymore? We break it down. The NFL also announced multiple rule updates for the 2021 season, including the option for players except offensive and defensive lineman to pick whatever number they please. Sorry big fellas. The fans still hold some power, and we show it when we discuss the birth and death of the European Super League as well as the continued hate of the Astros, even after a year without fans.
