It's the last of the division previews, as the NFL season is finally, mercifully, at long last, almost under way. Ranter and The Danchise will hypothesize, prognosticate and opine on the upcoming success -- or lack thereof -- of the Jets, Bills, Dolphins, Patriots, Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins. You'll find out which of these teams are for real, which ones suck and which movies you should watch to give you a taste of what their seasons will be like. Also, it's getting down to the wire...

In our ongoing series of Hollywood-themed division previews, this week the Ranters head north to tell you what movies best represent the AFC & NFC North divisions. Last year, these divisions yielded a total of 5 (!) playoff teams. Will they hold the same power in 2012? Will the Packers dominate again as they have over the past two seasons? Can the BEST QUARTERBACK IN THE LEAGUE lead the Ravens to the Promised Land? And what about the Steelers, Bengals, Browns, Bears, Lions and Vikings?...

The Football Ranters continue their Hollywood-themed season previews this week, prognosticating on the prospects of the eight teams making up the AFC and NFC South Divisions. Will the Saints rebound from scandal to regain their glory, or will the Falcons take the division crown? In the AFC, will the Texans continue to build on their success from a year ago? Will Andrew Luck make Colts fans forget that Peyton guy? What about the Panthers, Buccaneers, Jaguars and Titans? And -- most importantly...

In the collective quest to humiliate, degrade and demoralize a single fan base as much as possible, the Cleveland Browns have outdone their brethren once again, this time by blowing a 2013 second round pick on unproven Baylor/Utah-ish wideout Josh Gordon. Ranter and The Danchise have more than a few thoughts on that, just as […] The post Football Ranters – “Cleveland Decidedly Does Not Rock the Supplemental Draft” appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

In the collective quest to humiliate, degrade and demoralize a single fan base as much as possible, the Cleveland Browns have outdone their brethren once again, this time by blowing a 2013 second round pick on unproven Baylor/Utah-ish wideout Josh Gordon. Ranter and The Danchise have more than a few thoughts on that, just as they do on Breesus' new deal (smart!), Terrell Owens (dumb!) and Adrian Peterson's arrest (dubious at best!). Plus, with the preseason almost upon us, fantasy football...

Another week goes by and without fail, there’s plenty of ridiculous NFL news to go around.

Another week goes by and without fail, there's plenty of ridiculous NFL news to go around. A couple of NFC East tight ends behaving stupidly, a couple of washed up quarterbacks pretending they're not washed up, Tim Tebow showing his claws and of course, Joe Buck doing the thing he does best: sucking. Sucking really hard. On the plus side, listeners this week can get a big reminder/introduction to perhaps the greatest catch phrase in the history of play-by-play announcing. Plus, while away the...

Nothing seems to make any sense this week, from Percy Harvin's non-holdout to a certain pair of ESPN analysts' predictions about the NFC North. The Ranter and The Danchise are on the case to solve the mystery, but only is they can keep their sanity all the while. We'll also check in on who ol' Kim Kardashian has her eye on these days, plus give you the latest on athletes behaving badly in this week's edition of "BUSTED." Fantasy stock reports as well as updated fantasy rankings will be...

The Danchise returns celebrate 50 weeks of he and Ranter not killing one another: it's the 50th episode of The Football Ranters podcast!

With The Danchise on a soul searching sabbatical, the Football Ranter has no choice but to do something he has never done before: try. He welcomes in a special guest host to tackle some of the lesser-seen business and financial aspects of the game from a player's point of view. He also welcomes a visitor from Draft Sharks (http://www.draftsharks.com), one of the best fantasy football resources on the web. Along with his guest, Ranter will hit the big topics in some of your favorite regular...

Football season means prediction season, and everyone from casual homer fans to Nevada bookmakers is trying to make some accurate predictions about the upcoming NFL season. As it happens, the first of those bookmakers released projected win totals last week, and here to critique some of the more confusing ones are The Football Ranters. We've also got plenty of Yardline News, a repeat offender on BUSTED and even a special guest from SeatGeek (http://www.seatgeek.com), who will tell you about...

Lunatics, if you're anything like us, you've already started envisioning your dominant fantasy football season, including how you're going to construct the perfect roster. Need to know which rookies to factor into that mix, and which to avoid like Santonio Holmes avoids drug tests? The Danchise has you covered this week as we all return to his fantasy corner. Plus, Jonathan Vilma doesn't understand slander, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar likes porn and and Anquan Boldin seeks more oxygen. Also, if you...

We're fully in the thick of it now, Lunatics: three long, football-less months. The weather may be warming up, but in our hearts there's nothing but grey dreariness.

From Incomplete Headlines to our new segment, "Yardline News," we'll get you up to speed on every tidbit of NFL minutiae out there. Plus, learn about a new...

This episode's lofty title is in honor of Peter King, who has once again drawn the ire of the Football Ranter this week, for -- as usual -- being a completely out of touch asshat. After dealing with King and his buddy Mr. Roethlisberger, the Ranters turn their attention to the untimely suicide of Junior Seau, and whether there is anything to be done to prevent the bane of life after football. Up for discussion are the link between blows to the head and depression, the level of violence in...

Roll out the red carpet and cue the wrap up music, it's time for the 1st Annual Ranties Awards! The 2012 NFL Draft is in the books, but now find out who is taking home the real prize: a completely imaginary and in no way tangible award based on the subjective opinion of a couple guys who talk about football on the radio! (Note: that gives us exactly as much credibility as everyone else throwing around arbitrary draft grades.) From the biggest reach to the worst hug to the best all around...

The draft is here! The draft is here! Well, close enough, anyway. In honor of the most awesome offseason event the NFL can reasonably offer us, Ranter and The Danchise look back over the draft history of every team.
