Hey Smallsies — this week’s episode was pure gridiron chaos in all the best ways. I welcomed two very different but equally spicy guests to preview the 2025 NFL season for the Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers. We laughed, we bet, we made fun of Kenny Pickett — and then things got real weird at the end. But I’ll get to that.
First up, I had data sorcerer Tej Seth join me to break down the Detroit Lions. We dug into Jared Goff’s regression risk, why Jahmyr Gibbs is a fantasy god waiting to happen, and how the Lions might actually live up to the hype this time. Tej brought the numbers; I brought the heat. You’re welcome.
Then Scott Bowser, possibly the most intense Steelers fan alive and a verified Vegas lunatic, came in hot. We debated Mike Tomlin’s forever .500 magic, whether Diontae Johnson still has hands, and what happens when your QB’s haircut is the boldest part of his game. Spoiler: Bowser isn’t buying a Pickett breakout.
Of course, we hit futures bets, fantasy players to target, and our (fake but deeply personal) “Numbers That Murder” segment — because why relive trauma if not on air?
And just when you thought we were done, Producer Ryan slid into the Extra Holes segment to break down the viral WNBA promo involving… yes, dildos. Are vibrators the future of sports marketing? Or did a social media intern go rogue? Either way, you don’t want to miss it.
