    it was also ridiculous that he sort of implied that rodgers would struggle with voters with those off-field concerns, as if he's not the heavy betting favorite

    Committing a crime isn’t the same as lying about your vaccine. But I’m my mind go fuck yourself (Rodgers). The former is a reason someone wouldn’t get votes so who cares if other off the field impacts some votes.

    To your point: he's a favorite.

    Dilfer: idiots are gonna take this the wrong way…blah blah…idiots will take this the wrong way.

    Gee Trent I’d hate for you to come on a podcast as an expert analyst and have to articulate yourself to remove ambiguity

    Trent: Hes got DQ. that’s dude qualities.

    What a doorknob.

    this has been pretty much every dilfer interview with ryen for the past year. :idk: just say what you think, you played qb in the nfl, you won a super bowl as a qb... why do you care so much about what people say on twitter?

    not Ringer-related but adjacent

    i love the Robert Mays athletic football podcast but it's obnoxious when he has guests on to talk through things (like the All Pro selections this week) and he and the guest have unanimous consensus. These are people who read the same stats and summaries as him so they never have different points of view. why even have guests if that's what you're going to do?

    I love his show and its pretty much been the only NFL podcast I have listen to at this point.

    One of my small pet peeves is sort of tied to this. I generally enjoy his mailbag episodes although I feel like he defaults to having his guest answer the questions too often. There are so many times theres a really good question and he just kicks it over to Mitchell Schwartz or whoever else his guest is that week and then never answers himself.

    I like how Bill goes through his top rookies and has Mobley 1, Giddey as 2A, Wagner 2B, Barnes 2C and then Cade Cunningham “3rd”. Dude, you can’t name 4 players then say the next player is 3rd.

    I was not a fan of Schwartz's appearances early on. I think Mays recognized they needed some layups to talk about, hence putting him on the mailbag show. While someone else would be better on that show, it does make Schwartz more listenable. Definitely agree that Mays and Nate are fantastic together.

    It feels like Bill is scared to bash Ime Udoka as much as he'd like because he was so adamant that Boston needed a black head coach to help solve the city's racism alongside Jaylen Brown

    I see Bill still hasn’t come to terms with the fact that the Pats will have the worst qb in the playoffs. If Mac played for literally any other team he’d be saying “I can’t wait to bet against Mac Jones in the playoffs!”

    Yes he’s played just fine and looks like he’ll be solid, at the very least. It shouldn’t be a surprise that teams would be lining up to go against him in the playoffs though.

    Mac has had a nice season on a compete roster with good coaching. Also, maybe there’s a reason no franchises are drafting qbs with his physical profile. Like, none. But yeah maybe lightning strikes twice and he’ll have Brady’s brain within the first couple seasons.

    he's also going to think that the chargers calling a timeout got them eliminated. though i guess this is just a layup because it's so obvious.

    I never usually listen to the Monday NFL pods with them but the last few years they created a year-end podcast that lumps all the parent corners together. Some in the past have been good. Other weeks it seems really forced.
