  • Grandpa Phil to the Colts and the December Sorting Hat

    Grandpa Phil to the Colts and the December Sorting Hat
    2025/12/10
    Week 15 is here, and the football universe is officially unhinged. Grandpa Phil has wandered into Indianapolis like he’s looking for early-bird dinner, the playoff picture is a full-on clown parade, and the coaching carousel is spinning so fast we’re checking it for OSHA violations.

    This week, Derek breaks down why December separates the pretenders from the contenders, while Caleb rings the alarm on Bowl Season collapsing faster than the Titans’ playoff hopes. We hit the latest hires—from Collin Klein to Matt Campbell to Tosh Lupoi, yes really—and react to a fresh batch of eliminated teams that somehow gets more depressing every week.

    Then it’s Mock Draft Season (don’t pretend you’re not excited) with our early 2026 Top 10, a look at every team still clinging to playoff life, and the full AFC/NFC bracket as it stands now. Chargers-Chiefs headlines our Game of the Week, plus Brodie Bets returns with enough chaos to make Vegas nervous.

    It’s Week 15. It’s fun. And Grandpa Phil is a Colt now. Let’s ride.

  • Kiffin’s Bayou Breakaway and the Week 14 Rundown

    Kiffin’s Bayou Breakaway and the Week 14 Rundown
    2025/12/03
    It’s a full-blown coaching carousel this week, and Derek and Caleb are hanging on for dear life. Lane Kiffin bolts to LSU, half the country hires a new head coach, and the guys break down one of the wildest reshuffling sprees college football has ever seen. Derek lays out his plan to fix the entire college football calendar, while Caleb wonders why he’s suddenly talking about Duke like they matter in December.

    Then it’s back to the NFL: preseason over/unders get settled, another stack of teams gets eliminated, and playoff tickets get punched faster than a holiday check-out line. The Stockwatch gets spicy (Texans up, Vikings down), and the Game of the Week features a classic Bears–Packers showdown with Micah Parsons and D’Andre Swift circled as X-factors.

    Finally, Brodie Bets roll on with rivalry games, conference title chaos, and another week of handshake math.

    Coaching changes. Conference realignment headaches. Playoff races heating up.

    Week 14 is here — buckle up.

  • Fired Coaches, Full Plates, and Week 13 Fates

    Fired Coaches, Full Plates, and Week 13 Fates
    2025/11/26
    It’s a Thanksgiving feast of football takes this week as Caleb and Derek break down a wild slate of headlines—including Chip Kelly getting the Vegas boot, the Giants sending another coach packing, and Oklahoma State rolling the dice on Eric Morris.

    Then it’s time to build the Thanksgiving NFL Plates: Caleb and Derek each draft their Turkey, sides, and desserts from around the league, with some teams getting seated at the kids’ table whether they like it or not.

    The Eliminations roll on as more teams get carved up, Playoff Tickets get stamped, and the Stockwatch delivers spicy buys and ruthless sells (sorry, Bears fans).

    The Game of the Week—Bills at Steelers—comes with X-factors that could swing the whole AFC picture, and the Brodie Bets return with another round of Meacham Magic, Vitamin B12, SECond Nature, Baker’s Delights, Bo-liever Picks, and all the chaos the handshake standings can handle.

    Stuff your plate. Settle in. Week 12 is served.

  • Franklin to Blacksburg, Panthers to the Penthouse? (Week 12 Preview)

    Franklin to Blacksburg, Panthers to the Penthouse? (Week 12 Preview)
    2025/11/19
    Week 12 is here, and the NFL is in full “Are we sure this is real?” mode. Derek and Caleb kick things off with James Franklin landing at Virginia Tech before diving into the big question of the week: How on earth are the Carolina Panthers 6–5? Derek tries to make sense of it; Caleb throws narrative flags all over the field.

    Then it's elimination season once again, with another round of teams getting the boot while others punch their playoff tickets faster than Denver stacks wins. The guys check in on their preseason over/unders (one of them was VERY right about Washington), run through Stockwatch — including Derek naming Jacoby Brissett the official backup of America — and Caleb buying long-term Schottenheimer stock like he knows something the rest of us don’t.

    This week’s Game of the Week features the Bucs and Rams, with Puka and Winfield Jr. front and center. And of course, it wouldn’t be Week 12 without another round of Brodie Bets, where both hosts are either heating up or melting down (sometimes simultaneously).

    It’s football chaos, seasonal delusion, and mid-November optimism — everything Week 12 should be.

  • Daboll’s Done, Kafka’s Fun, and the AFC Runs Wild

    Daboll’s Done, Kafka’s Fun, and the AFC Runs Wild
    2025/11/12
    The Giants clean house as Brian Daboll gets the boot and Mike Kafka steps into the hot seat — but will it change anything in New York? Derek digs into the meaning of “Any Given Sunday,” while Caleb questions whether NFL plus-minus stats are fool’s gold.

    The guys reveal their eliminated teams of the week, debate which bubble teams are still clinging to playoff hopes, and lock in their Playoff Ticket Punches — including a few eyebrow-raisers from the AFC.

    Then it’s NFL Stockwatch, where Derek bets big on new AFC powerhouses and Caleb buys in on Matthew Stafford (but sells every rookie QB in sight). The Game of the Week takes flight with Lions vs. Eagles — and yes, the X-Factors might surprise you.

    Finally, Brodie Bets return after a short break, with both Caleb and Derek dead even on the handshake scoreboard. Will Week 11 tip the balance?

  • Kelly’s Gone, but the Shough Must Go On

    Kelly’s Gone, but the Shough Must Go On
    2025/10/29
    Brian Kelly’s out at LSU, the Saints are shuffling quarterbacks, and Derek and Caleb are here to make sense of the chaos — or at least have fun trying. Derek revisits just how good Priest Holmes really was, while Caleb preaches the gospel of in-game adjustments. The guys eliminate another round of hopeless NFL teams, fire up their College Football Playoff Draft, and check in on the Brodie Bets leaderboard. Plus, this week’s Game of the Week — Colts vs. Steelers — promises all the grit, glory, and questionable decisions you could ask for in late October football.

  • Napier Out, Fields Down, and the Jets Still Can’t Fly

    Napier Out, Fields Down, and the Jets Still Can’t Fly
    2025/10/22
    It’s Week 8, and the quarterback carousel is spinning out of control again—Justin Fields takes another October seat, Tyrod Taylor tries to play hero, and Billy Napier packs his bags in Gainesville. Derek’s fired up about the wrong kind of upsets in college football, while Caleb’s begging NFL teams to hurry it up—literally—with more no-huddle offense.

    The boys also hand out pink slips to this week’s Eliminated Teams, lock in some playoff tickets, and talk big buys (Ben Johnson, Josh Jacobs) and bigger sells (Raiders, Heart Attack Horsey… don’t ask).

    Plus, it’s the Presidential Game of the Week—Commanders at Chiefs—and Brodie Bets are heating up as the season hits its midpoint. Grab your handshake tracker and settle in—this one’s part therapy, part chaos, and 100% football.

  • Bye Bye Brian: Coaching Carnage and Week 7 Madness

    Bye Bye Brian: Coaching Carnage and Week 7 Madness
    2025/10/15
    Things are heating up in Week 7 as the coaching carousel spins out of control — the Titans send Brian Callahan packing, Mike McCoy takes the reins, and Penn State finally pulls the plug on James Franklin. Derek dives into the high-stakes world of head coach payouts, while Caleb celebrates a clean sweep from Nebraska Volleyball.

    The Eliminated Team list is getting crowded (sorry, Jets fans — it’s officially 0-6 sadness), playoff tickets are getting punched, and the Stockwatch is as chaotic as ever — Derek’s high on the Hoosiers while Caleb’s buying Colts stock like it’s 2018.

    This week’s Game of the Week features the Colts and Chargers, with X-Factors Daniel Jones and Ladd McConkey (yeah, we know). Then it’s time for Brodie Bets, where handshakes, heartbreaks, and questionable overs rule the day.

    Tune in for another long ride through football chaos, laughter, and some serious Week 7 takes.
