And if you’ve known me (Caitlin) long enough, I’ve probably forced you to watch the pilot at least once. Brendan has finally decided to see what the fuck I’ve been talking about for all these years, and today we’re getting into season 1 a bit. 

But back in the year of our Lorde 2024, football is still happening IRL! Before this Sunday's Bills v. Chiefs matchup, we dive into the long history of this rivalry, why its still so heated, and why we all, as a league, hate Patrick Mahomes. Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose. 


The fuck did we talk about: 

  • Brendan is watching Friday Night Lights the TV show for the 1st time

  • Caitlin is watching Friday Night Lights the TV show for the ~50th time

  • Tim Riggins, the last fullback 

  • Camryn Bynum, a safety on the Vikings, hit em w the Raygun in the endzone 

  • Why are we sending a Giants v. Panthers game to Berlin?

  • The Niners are self destructing

  • Should we do birth charts of important games

  • The history of the Bills v. Chiefs rivalry is quite long

  • Here’s that devastating photo of Diggs watching the Chiefs celebrate 

  • The Kansas City Chiefs are now the most 'hated’ team in the NFL, data shows

  • How did the Chiefs get away with keeping their racist name, when the Commanders couldnt?

What a time capsule. Anyway, this week we talk about how the NFL has its grubby little hands in funding political candidates, Jason Kelce slingin' homophobic slurs in Pennsylvania, and some days-old political hot takes since Kornacki was running numbers on the TV in the background as we recorded this.

A famously feminine sport? In this chopped & screwed episode, we cover big boys doing ballet, Antonio Brown’s checkered past & present, and how the Bills did this week in Seattle.
