Did you guys get anything for McCarron in the end?

Didn’t the Raiders cut EJ Manuel to make room for McCarron? Manuel had a good preseason, the Bills should take him back.

I don’t think the Lynch pick up, once free of rookie contract, is so bad. His confidence is shot apparently, could be a good (and cheap) reclamation project, and he probably needs more mental coaching than reps, so shouldn’t impact on Allen’s development too much.

Everyone queueing up to pull the raiders pants down

As long as he isn’t forced to start a meaningful game and remembers to stand for the anthem he’s guaranteed a job for the next 10 years.

Are there any podcasts which are:

  • Aimed more at the beginner
  • British
  • Professionally recorded

Most of the ones i’ve tried seem a bit complicated for a n00b, are hosted by hyperactive Americans and/or sound like they’re recorded in a toilet.

Around the NFL is the best one, and although not aimed at the beginner I don’t think it would take you too long to pick up on what they’re talking about.

Not sure you’ll find a podcast that’s really aimed at beginners… how do keep that tone consistently? You’d have to assume your audience never developed and learnt anything.

Also, all of the regulars are knowledgeable, funny, self-deprecating and play off against each other wonderfully.

Not a podcast kind of person at all, but I love this.

ok, maybe not Hanzus. :smiley:

another vote for Around The NFL - it’s been absolutely instrumental to my love of the sport growing over the last few years. my favourite podcast of any genre.

Have you heard any more about them doing meet-ups / events this week? Am planning to go along on Saturday to the fanzone shit, would be good if they’re out on the Friday / Saturday or something.

nothing other than the pub after the recording tonight but am keeping an eye out on twitter/IG. i was thinking of going along on saturday to their Q&A and hoping they go to the pub after but have no one to go with… let me know if you do head down.

Sure, definitely planning on it, will let you know for sure closer to the time.

The good thing about watching college football is that it has already started, the waiting was over Saturday :partying_face:

There were about 3 years in fantasy where he was a guaranteed 100 yards and a TD every week. GBOL.
