Football Nation Presents: Football Nation Today Episode 1

In the inaugural episode of “Football Nation Today,” host Alex Reimer discusses the top NFL stories of the past couple of weeks: 1st Down: Alex analyzes the free agency activity of the offseason, and discovers a trend regarding how NFL teams have spent their money. Which positions are now considered to be high priority? With the NFL continuing to transform into a pass-oriented league, has roster construction dramatically changed? 2nd Down: What lessons, if any, have been learned from the Junior Seau tragedy two weeks? 3rd Down: It’s “Big up or slow down,” where Alex examines the validity of several statements about recent NFL events. Was Wes Welker wise to accept the Patriots’ tender for 2012, will LA be granted a football team within the next five years, and will Darrelle Revis regret all of this trash talking he’s doing against Bill Belichick? 4th Down: “Reimer’s rant” this week is about the yahoos who permeate the Louisiana state legislator, as they voted 28-1 this week that the bountygate punishments levied by the NFL were too harsh.
