Touchdowns and Turnovers Podcast

The fandoms are up in arms as the league has begun crackdown on touchdown celebrations…booooooooo!! It will be interesting to see how the rest of the season unfolds, especially as the injuries to QBs are piling up. Ken, Hak and Bryce hit the classroom to discuss what has and has not impressed them thus far. And boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, the word for today is…MOLLYWOPPED!!

After a long offseason, football is finally upon us! With so many moves, personnel changes, injuries and everything else, there's a ton to discuss and the trio have reconvened for what will be a historic NFL season. Ken, Hak, and Bryce get their heads in the books for a new season of School's in Session and the professor is back schooling with unrelenting savagery!

The smell of football is lurking in the air and with training camp right around the corner, it's only a matter of time before our Sundays become officially booked. On this installment of School's in Session, Ken, Hak and Bryce rank each division's set of teams. Some picks were obvious however (comma), some were highly questionable. And Bryce's Atlanta savagery was most definitely on 100!!

With the ESPY's around the corner, we celebrate the best performances throughout sports at the team and individual levels. It's about being the best of the best, or matter of fact, the best from the rest. In a full installment of “School's in Session”, Ken, Hak and Bryce make their predictions on who will still “keep on winning.” Also, SURPRISE! Hak takes savagery to the next level and sends Ken a care package! And his reaction is priceless!! 

"Oh nah, man I'm outta there man".  With a few short words in a few brief seconds, the Julio Jones era in ATL came to a screeching halt. Live. On. National. TV. In a full episode of School's in Session with Bryce, our resident Falcons and Saints fans discuss this historic trade from their fandoms perspective.  Buckle up as the savagery just may hit an all time high!

It’s the off-season, but there’s no shortage of drama! On-field, off-field, we got it all! The futures of Aaron, Deshawn and Julio are still unclear, allegedly. But are these just rumors? Or is there actual legitimacy to these claims? Or is it a combination? Ken, Hak and Bryce revisit the draft in creating their All-Rookie teams on this week’s installment of School’s in Session. Let the savagery begin!

Draft night was full of excitement and drama! So many storylines, so many deals, and so many teams trying to make last second moves. Now that we know who landed where, the natural question ultimately follows, which teams won and lost on draft night. And which teams are in the best position to contend for the Lombardi Trophy in the coming years. Ken, Hak and Bryce prep for another installment of Class is in Session to make sense of it all.

The 2021 NFL Draft.  A draft with unprecedented drama, at least after the 2nd pick.  With Hak on IR, Bryce & Ken hold down the fort while providing unfiltered and unedited reactions to the first 10 picks. Or so we thought, until Bryce had soooo much fun that re-joined the stream to break down a few more picks!  School is most definitely in session for this bonus episode!

Finally!!! The draft is finally upon us and it’s time to see who’s residing where next season. Storylines will surface on who will make the biggest impact on their new team, chemistry, playing opportunity, etc. Along with some other key happenings throughout the league, Ken, Hak and Bryce come together to wrap up the first round and officially put a bow on it. Let’s see which of their picks hit and which picks flop.

Rock, paper, Sirianni! The league introduced some rule changes which were received with mixed reviews; some players ran into some off-field troubles, but luckily without any significantly consequential outcomes; and the goat shares some words of wisdom to live by. The bell has rung and Ken, Hak and Bryce take their seats to break down all the happenings and predictions as we near the finish line of the first round mock draft.  

Due to some alleged “technical” difficulties, our episode editor (ahem) neglected to save our last recording. And as a result, we have decided to go into overtime and put him on the HOT SEAT! As the head coach and aficionado, we put his football knowledge to the test and see what he’s really made of. Will he fold under the pressure? Or will he step up and RBA it?

As we get closer each week to the draft, let’s keep the party going with the Mock Draft. It’s an exciting time for teams and fans to see who will lace up and represent their team’s jersey next season to take them to the finish line. Ken and Hak explore some of the latest headlines in the league as Bryce joins us for School’s in Session to pick up on the 1st Round Mock Draft to discuss picks 11-20.

As the draft closes in, teams across the league are busy doing extensive DD to ensure the fates of their future are bright. And like every season, a few prospects have shown sparks of greatness in the combine. But the question always remains, will these sparks ignite under the bright lights and with a guy standing across the line? Ken and Hak explore some of the latest headlines in the league as Bryce joins us for School’s in Session to pick up on the 1st Round Mock Draft to discuss picks 6-10. 

The free agency saga continues into the second wave and some noteworthy players and teams made some critical moves to better their chances for the upcoming season. Ken and Hak “level up” (pun intended) by providing some of their own savagery on this episode. Bryce joins us for School’s in Session where we begin our 1st Round Mock Draft in the weeks leading into the NFL Draft by covering picks 1-5. 

The free agency flood gates opened up and waves of new deals came crashing through. It feels like the deck was reshuffled and we’re going to need to re-learn team rosters all over again. Which teams better positioned themselves for the short and long term future? Ken, Hak and Bryce get together to make sense of all the moves and what we can expect to see come next season. And as always, the Matt Ryan savagery continues on this week’s School’s in Session.

It’s that time of the year when player cuts, free agency and draft evaluations start looming around the corner. Every team is trying to build the perfect team and find the perfect players for their system. Ken, Hak and Bryce build their perfect players by playing a game called CAP, Create-A-Player, and get creative with their approaches. And a certain quarterback gets the “love” he normally gets. You decide who has the better player/squad?

The season ended just over a month ago and news of current/future player movement has started trickling out. With the combine, free agency and the draft upcoming, we are currently experiencing the calm before the storm of player movements. The salary cap is tight which is forcing teams into difficult decisions, but will those decisions pay off?  Plus, Ken and Hak discuss the ideology and actual worth of “defining” future success with the results of the combine. Bryce goes full savage-mode in School’s in Session and speaks on what he foresees with the ever-so-active QB carousel.

Many players have taken the field (and turf) and put on epic performances for the ages. These players have etched their names in the annals of football history. With each passing season a new class comes in looking to do the same. Everyone from the fans to the analysts to even the players themselves get into heated debates of making comparisons between the players of past and those currently in the game. Ken, Hak, and Bryce join forces in making their own comparisons of which player from the past a current player in the game reminds them of. This episode’s School’s in Session reaches new levels of savagery.

As we begin the fan journey of the long dreaded offseason, we have a moment to reflect on what was, what is and what is to be. Even during this early “downtime”, the storylines run aplenty. Everything from the Super Bowl to new coaches to best fits for players. School is in Session as Bryce gives his take on how the season played out, what he hopes to see in the upcoming season, and we all discuss our top 3 wishlist. It gets real, real fast!

Monday Morning QB....on a Wednesday!  The chips have fallen, the dust has settled, and we have ourselves a champion.

And School’s in Session with Bryce as he takes a deep dive on giving some alternate points of view and why he was able to make the right pick. And also cashing in on winning his bet against Ken!

The moment which all the players yearn for…a chance to play in the Super Bowl! The date is set, the venue is prepared, and the popcorn is ready!
