It's About Winning the Paper War

An Ode to the Pirate: RIP Mike Leach

It's with heavy hearts that Luke and Ryan recorded this episode after learning the news of Mike Leach's passing. For anyone who followed college football, Leach was a mainstay for the past 25 years, coincidentally a time that perfectly aligned with our coming of age in football and life. If Mike Leach was just an offensive innovator who helped usher in 4 wide receivers and pass-happy offenses that would be enough to leave a legacy on the game. However, he was so much more than that. A guy who never played college football. Possessor of a law degree. A man who moonlighted as a weatherman and adjunct professor in his spare time while coaching major college football. Leach was as eclectic as they come in college football, a true oddball in a sport that could produce its fair share of them. He could and would talk your ear off about anything and there was no question he didn't deem worthy of some kind of response. The game will be lesser because he is no longer around, but his memory and offensive innovation will live on. Listen and then go immerse yourself in some random subject you have always been interested in. That's the best way to honor Coach Leach.

Jeff Saturday to the Rescue?

With the Colts making one of the wackiest coaching hires in recent memory, Ryan, Luke, and Rowe had to jump on to give you our thoughts. How do the other coaches react to an outsider getting the interim tag? Why would Indianapolis even make this hire? Is there even a way to measure the success of this move with the current state of the Indianapolis roster? Who the hell knows, this shit is weird.

Hopefully I'm You're Favorite Quarterback

The trio gets a laugh out of Jameis Winston's most recent comments about his skills on the field and if he should be a favorite player for people. They like what the Rams move to sign Bobby Wagner signals for their over mindset while questioning why the Packers targeted OBJ. There was also the DeVante Parker trade and they look into how this can give insight to how Belichick views his team and what the Patriots might want to add to help Mac Jones develop.

The Coastal Connection is back, and we heavily discuss the AFC West despite Rowe's premature statement that the division shouldn't be hyped. That division clearly leads the intrigue in the NFL as we are nearing the end of free agency and trade season. We break down the teams that have made moves up to this point that intrigue us, as well as what teams we are looking at to make some moves in late free agency then bolster their roster in the draft. Still a long ways to go in the offseason, but teams are starting to take shape as they look to build the best teams paper can buy.

Rams Win and Rowe is Confused

The Super Bowl is in the books, and we have you covered with how the Rams were able to prevail. But first, Ryan and Luke get to make fun of Rowe and his "Sean McVay is not a good coach take". Yes, there was great pleasure in that. Stay tuned for some free agency and draft stuff coming up over the next couple months.
