And Here Come the Cowboys Fans — Papa’s Football Podcast Week 7

Please, God, don't let them add to this pile.

Please, God, don’t let them add to this pile.

This was a trying weekend for most NFL fans. Forced to choose between a Seattle team championed by its motormouth, asshat cornerback and the team all good, Christ-fearing people love to hate, most of us prayed for a meteorite to fall on CenturyLink Field during the game (or at least a tie). In the end, the Dallas Cowboys prevailed, and the chatter celebrating it on my Facebook timeline since has been intolerable (god bless the “unfollow” button).

There was much more from the week that was to discuss, from the massive success of the Browns’ season (yes, you read that correctly) taking them right through the Steelers like shit through a goose to San Diego cutting out a close win over the Raiders. (Yes, you also read that correctly.) From the week that was to the week that’s coming up and also presenting an interesting new theory on what works in college football, the latest episode of Papa’s Football Podcast has it all for you. Enjoy and share, everyone!

Peyton Manning Breaks The 500 Touchdown Mark — Papa’s Football Podcast Week 6

Whoever this moustachioed fellow is, he seems to be a big fan of Peyton Manning's latest accomplishment.

Whoever this moustachioed fellow is, he seems to be a big fan of Peyton Manning’s latest accomplishment.

The wheat is certainly separating from the chaff this week in the league, and the teams that look like they’re going somewhere in the postseason are making their cases with a vengeance. Peyton Manning broke the 500 touchdown plateau against the previously unbeaten Arizona Cardinals, Tom Brady redeemed himself with a thrashing of the Cincinnati Bengals, and San Diego crushed a New York Jets team that looked screwed whether it was Geno Smith or Mike Vick behind center. We offer an irreverent, funny take on all the week 5 action and what’s to come in week 6 on the latest Papa’s Football Podcast. Tell your friends and spread it around!

The Kirk Cousins Dream Is Dead — Papa’s Football Podcast Week 4

michael biehn commander andrson the rock

You remember how The Rock begins with Michael Biehn and the SEAL Team he leads attempting to save the day by entering Alcatraz to stop Ed Harris and his team of rogue soldiers, only to be ambushed and slaughtered? And how, ultimately, its two unexpected, scrappy heroes, Sean Connery and Nic Cage that come through in the clutch when the big guns in front of them failed? The Redskins’ season is kinda like that, with RG3 playing the part of the SEAL Team and Kirk Cousins as the scrappy duo who somehow gets it done. Except, in this analogy, Sean Connery and Nic Cage also get riddled with bullets by Ed Harris 90 seconds after the SEAL Team’s brains are splattered on the walls and the powers that be are left wondering, “Well, Christ…is there a pizza boy we can send in there or something?”

Besides the age-old tale of another horrific prime time Redskins loss, there’s Steve Smith sticking it to his former Carolina Panthers team, the Miami Dolphins ending the Raiders coach portion of Dennis Allen’s career, J.J. Watt being an unstoppable god of defensive destruction and why the wheels might finally be coming off for Nick Foles, Chip Kelly and the rest of the ringless filthbirds of Philadelphia. All that, some gloating from our resident New York Giants fan @OriginalNixster and a preview of what’s to come in week four on the latest Papa’s Football Podcast.

Kirk Cousins Is Dreamier Than Ryan Gosling — Papa’s Football Podcast Week 3

Here I go, here I go, here I go again. Girls, what's my weakness? Non-injury-prone quarterbacks that effectively pass from the pocket.

Yes, they lost. Yes, he threw an interception. Yes, it was only one game. But if you are a Washington Redskins fan, you had to love what you saw out of quarterback Kirk Cousins in Philadelphia on Sunday. We discuss what to expect from Kirk in his week 4 game at home against the Giants, how Denver also looked great even in defeat against the Seahawks, and why Tampa Bay could go winless this season in the latest Papa’s Football Podcast. If you like your football talk honest, raw and very dirty, you’re gonna love this episode.

Adrian Peterson Beats His Son (Oh, And Week 2 Of The NFL Happened) — Papa’s Football Podcast Week 2

I tried to find a photo of the episode where Homer takes a switch and uses it to beat Bart's testicles, but this was the best I could come up with.

Someday soon, our shows will be totally devoid of off-the-field drama. That day, however, is not today. We touch on the story of a felony arrest for Vikings start RB Adrian Peterson for child abuse (he apparently took a switch and beat the holy hell out of his kid’s testicles and ass with it) before getting into Week 2’s biggest stories (Seattle going down to San Diego and Richard Sherman being a little bitch about it, for example) and what Week 3’s sexiest games are going to be. Plus Buffalo Bills superfan “Nate” lets us know what it’s like having a shred of hope up in that frozen hellhole with the team currently at 2-0 and atop the AFC East. If you like your sports talk fun, fast and dirty, then like and share the episode! (Oh, and click here if you want to hear me talk for an hour about AP’s ball beating.)

The NFL Season Begins! (And Gets Overshadowed By the Ray Rice Video) — Papa’s Football Podcast, Week 1

If you missed TMZ's video of Ray Rice smashing his woman's jaw, this is about what it looked like.

If you missed TMZ’s video of Ray Rice smashing his woman’s jaw, this is about what it looked like.

The 2014 NFL regular season began with much fanfare…that was immediately obliterated by TMZ releasing a video of Ray Rice decking his chick with the speed of Floyd Mayweather. If you want to hear discussion of the video, you can click here for that, but we keep the football show about on-the-field football talk, so this episode will delve into what games we loved from the weekend, what we’re looking forward to this week, and get thoughts from Cleveland Browns superfan Josh Burns on the first of our “Fan In Focus” segments.

The NFL Is Back! — Papa’s Football Podcast Week 0

It's been far, far too long, my love. (I'll leave you to guess whether it's the me or the NFL that plays Rachel McAdams in this little scenario.)

Tonight, life will have meaning once more. Not even The Fappening could distract NFL fiends from their all-consuming need to have the game of (concussed) kings back in their lives. There’s a lot of ground to cover in 60 minutes after an entire season off, but we manage to get in all the greatest hits: The Ray Rice beating his then-fiancee unconscious, Wes Welker getting suspended for taking Molly cut with amphetamines at the Kentucky Derby, the entire Michael Sam saga that just landed him with the Dallas Cowboys and Don Van Natta, Jr’s excellent article on Jerry Jones. There’s also a preview of this week’s action. If you like football and you like bad words, this is the show for you.

Hall of Fame Podcast (RB Edition): Jerome Bettis and the Ricky Williams’ Line

Listen to Howard’s first ever solo podcast. He talks about Jerome Bettis’ place among the greatest running back of all-time, and the reason why Ricky Williams’ career numbers should be the measuring stick for other NFL running backs who become eligible for Hall of Fame in the coming years.

Michael Sam Comes Out On Papa’s Basement (Not Really)

Michael Scott sounds similar enough to Michael Sam that this is okay.

Normally I link the Papa’s Football Podcast posts over on Papa’s Basement to give PFPod a bit of a boost. This time, the shoe is on the other foot as I spent a ton of time yapping with my radio mentor and friend Bill Rohland (click that link to see his Twitter profile and give it a follow) about Michael Sam, the SEC defensive player of the year, coming out as gay before the NFL draft.
