The NFL season kicks off tonight, which means Kemper and Ethan had their annual fantasy draft last night. Holy cow did things NOT go according to plan... Can't even tell you how many quarterbacks were drafted in the first two rounds, when Ethan and Kemper got their TEs, or if Ethan stuck to his guns that he told EVERYONE at the end of last fantasy season. Don't forget, this amazing banter isn't just only for the podcast. We are The Pool Boys, so be sure to check out our website...

Well, the final game has been played, there is no more NFL for over 6 months. We are sad, very sad for sure, but that doesn't mean we can't get pumped to break down everything that happened in the Big Game! The game itself lived up to the hype for about 95% of it, as the final 2 minutes was kind of a let down...While no backup quarterbacks had to come in for some final magic, what should have been an exclamation point to an awesome matchup, was taken away and replaced with a womp womp.  Check...

That's right everyone, we are OURSELVES today! Be excited! Everything has been leading up to the Super Bowl so no trivia today, just pure previewing and prop betting! Well, let's be honest, we still go on our classic tangents and go down some rabbit holes, but there is still a lot of talking about the actual game. Keep track and see if you can do better than us on our half gaggle, half double triple entente!   Check our beautfiul mugs HERE

Don't worry, no torn ACLs here and lost scholarships. Maybe just some lost pride as we also breakdown our preseason "league winning rosters" and see how they would have fared. With the Big Game coming up this weekend (hooray!), it is also a time to look back on some fond Super Bowl traditions and memories. Kemper seems to remember games while he was in utero, while Ethan only goes as far back as Steve Young.   Check the video HERE

Well we are in that weird in between time where Championship weekend is over and we then have another week until the Super Bowl. What to do, what to do? We do get a little stuck in a time loop with Groundhog day, but don't worry, we got out of it... Well there was some BREAKING news that occurred so you know we are going to talk about TB12. Also, what was Sean Payton thinking with taking the Broncos job? Can Tua turn the lights on yet, and where will Jimmy G be playing?   Also, don't worry,...

The final four have been knocked down to the last two. In the NFC, it turned into a runaway once Brock Purdy's arm fell off, the SF 49ers turned to their 4th quarterback of the season....until he got hurt, and they threw (pun intended) one-armed Purdy back in. Not the best recipe for success. On the AFC side, it was the battle we all hoped for. Just like the unstoppable combo of CP3 alley-ooping T-bug, Mahomes to Kelce was just as unstoppable. Burrow and Mahomes will be going at it for a long...

That's right folks, the Super Bowl is just around the corner so it's time to highlight some Football movies! What better way to start it off than with Shane Falco and Clifford Franklin! This dynamic duo previews Championship Weekend as the top 4 teams in the NFL will be going at it! Don't worry, there may be tangents abound in the beginning but we do get to some Football analysis. No, it's not because we are replacement players, we are just unicorns who know and can talk about any and...

And then Boom! The Divisional round is over! Don't worry though because John Madden and Pat Summerall are here to break it all down for you. Get ready to draw on some telestrators because we diagram exactly what noises makes our skin crawl AND do the impossible and figure out if Tom Brady is coming back next year (while talking some post season memories). A hobbled Patty Mahomes was able to beat the Jags, Joe Burrow is a bad man, the Giants are who we thought they were, and Brett Maher missed...

It's time to get LOST all over again. That's right, WE HAVE TO GO BACK to the island and that is where we are headed to preview the Divisional Round. No, not Revis island, but Sawyer and Hurley's island. Did you know that the 49ers are 4 point favorites? How about that Trevor Lawrence threw 8 interceptions during the regular season? As crazy as it seems, Daniel Jones only threw 15 TD s on the year, but has come on strong of late. Of the 16 AFC teams, the Bills had the best point differential!...

Just tap it in, just tap it in! That's all the Chargers had to do...Up 27-0 on the Jags, all they had to do was tap it in to win, but nooooooooooo. I guess this is why they call it Wild Card weekend. Don't worry, we don't just roast the Chargers, we break down all the games and we extned Arts and Crafts time by 4 hours!  Check the video HERE   By the way, who still has their Sega Genesis or Super Nintendo? If you do, get ready because we give you the keys to success to winning at Gretzky...

Can the 9ers pull off the rare feat of beating a team 3 times? Will Lamar Jackson say NO SOUP FOR YOU to the Ravens? Who will be the masters of their domains when the Cowboys rematch the Bucs and Brady's 7-0 record against them? So much on the line!  Watch it HERE JOIN US in our NFL.com playoff challenge where you...

How did this happen? When did 18 weeks of the NFL season suddenly pass us by? We don't know and we are not happy about it. There were some weird things at stake in week 18 and some weird results as well. The Jags owned their own destiny and followed through by earning a playoff berth. The Pats had their destiny, but blew it and allowed the Dolphins who kept their laces out to get the final berth in the AFC. In the NFC, Brady finally finished with a below .500 record but still made the...

We're Fold in the Cheese? Damn it, who put that damn question mark there, you know we read everything on the screen! Well, now that we are unsure of ourselves, might as well try and preview Week 18 in the NFL. Since most, if not all, fantasy leagues have now been completed, Ron and Brian Fantana decipher all the different playoff scenarios heading into the final week of the season. It is so damn hot in the AFC everything is muddled, and in the NFC it comes down to three prongs of a trident of...

Gotta bring the magic this episode in order to preview all that is week 17. Minshew mania could be apparating back on the field, Mike White is going to try and save the Jets from the dementor that is Zach Wilson, and Derrick Henry had a run in with the womping willow, so he will be sitting out, much like most of his teammates. Don't worry though, Dumbledore's army is still here to get some deep analysis of all the week's games and look into the Pensieve and tell you exactly what is going to...

Yup, it's finally reached that point. The point that all fantasy owners have come to, and similar to the stages of grief, we have entered into the stage of ANGER AND RAGE. We do offer some waiver targets, check out an update on the DO IT bet board and give you some news around the league but let's call a spade a spade....this is a ranting episode.   Kemper and Ethan officially got knocked out of the playoffs of their respective leagues and they are not happy about it. Deandre Hopkins managed...

Cousin Eddie parked the RV out front and stopped-by to make some Pigskin Pick'em picks this episode! Ruby (Jalen Hurts) has a lip fungus that ain't been identified yet, so s/he's going to sit out this week. And Lamar Jackson is getting cured off the Wild Turkey, so you won't see him this week either.But Nick Foles and Gardner Minshew, who have been spreading pixie dust on the tilt-a-whirl and barking for the Yak Woman, are coming to the rescue! Will you be brave enough to start Marquise...

Check Harry and Marv HERE  No we aren't talking the wet bandits here, we are talking the Sticky Bandits! That's right, Marv and Harry are back and still looking for that true calling card. Week 15 had some WILD moments, as the Vikings put the Colts through their own house of horrors with the biggest comeback in NFL history, the Patriots gift wrapped the Raiders a win as Mac Jones got a paint can to the face courtesy of Chandler Jones, and the Cowboys got robbed by the Jags with those pesky...

Anyway, this dynamic duo recap all that was week 14 in the NFL with some gnarly injuries to some big time performances. We also discuss what poster was hanging up in our dorm room after the ever popular poster sale, during welcome week of the college semester. We may have to hit those back up (if they...

Trust us, we do not sit on a throne of lies! We are going to preview the heck out of week 14 in the NFL, so grab your world’s greatest cup of coffee, your spare bottle of syrup, and get ready! Lamar Jackson is on the injury naughty list, so he is out 1-4 weeks; Trevor Lawrence had a run in with the Central Park Rangers (and sprained his “Chumbawumba”), so he is day-to-day; and Brandin Cooks is a cotton-headed ninny muggings as he continues to pout in Houston. To get you the previews of each...

That's right week 13, we choose you! We choose you to be a week where no big names get hurt, there are no upsets, and we see some big time performances! Well....looks like Lamar Jackson, Jimmy Garropolo and Matt Stafford all have to go to the Pokemon center, so much for that one. Well at least there weren't really any true upsets (Burrow is cold and that's no upset to beat the Cheifs) besides the tie with the Giants and Commanders? We also saw lots of big time performances so, week 13, you...

Watch it HERE! Wait a second, it isn't May 4th. Well duh, football season doesn't go in to May, but that doesn't mean we can't do Star Wars. Time to do the Kessel run as Han and Chewie preview week 13 in the NFL. Did Han shoot Justin Field's shoulder (we know he always shoots first)? Is Aaron Rodgers ready to be a Jedi master by training his young Padawan by saying he would be ok with being benched? We also settle the debate as to which is more adorable, the Ewoks or Baby Yoda....errr we mean...
