   2025 NFL Draft

   For this episode, we’re joined by Luke Fraley, world’s most affable Lions fan. (Not to be confused with craig Alimo, world’s most reasonable Patriots fan.) We do a quick recap of how the season ended for our respective teams before Andrew launches into a weird, pseudo-science-y lecture about why...

   10 years of shenanigans

   You blink and 10 years go by, ya know? We put our first episode out into the world on 4/4/2014 and came back on 4/4/2024 to record from the place where it all started, World Famous Paul & Eddie’s Monte Vista Inn. We were joined by Brian “Schmizzy” Schmoldt, long-suffering-no-more Browns…

   Team needs? Skoden!

   Noor, especially (but what else is new?), offers up some airtight statements about the needs of our favorite teams going into free agency and the draft. That is, after Andrew makes him relive the horror (from Noor’s perspective) that was Superb Owl LVIII. As per uzh, Andrew makes everything…

   Week 1 [over]reactions

   It is well-documented that week 1 is a liar. Do not trust week 1. Yet, here we are, after the first weekend of the NFL season with both doubts and hopes, attempting to make sense of it all. Join us as we attempt to navigate the feels.

   Draft hype edition!

   We’re less than 2 weeks out from the 2023 NFL Draft, so of course Andrew would choose to talk about…Dougal Robertson?! He tries to make a connection to the Seahawks’ fortunes over the last 12 months, but like so many of John Schneider’s picks over the years it’s a stretch. Thankfully,...

   Wherein we talk for an hour and a half about quarterbacks…

   NFL quarterback is the most demanding position in all of sport, right? So, it makes sense for us to talk for an hour and a half about who’s rising, who’s falling, who’ll end up where, right? Don’t answer that…

   Looking ahead (mostly)

   Always wanting to give the people what they want, this episode is 2 of Craig’s commutes long. You’re welcome. Noor graciously starts us off by asking Andrew to recap his overachieving Seahawks before we spend most of the episode looking ahead, to the coming weekend, to the rest of the…

   Noor went out for a pack of cigarettes and…wait, that’s a different story. In this timeline, somehow we forgot to podcast for 2 years. Who does this? Us, apparently. Well, you can’t get rid of us that easily. We’re back and better than ever! If, by better than ever, you mean the same...

    5th Anniversary Episode!

    As Noor so aptly put it, “time flies when you’re putting out an episode and a half a year.” It was exactly 5 years ago that we published our first episode. In that time, we’ve made a lot of predictions and if we were more organized we’d have gone through some of them and compared them…

    Name, image & likeness, an interview with sports antitrust economist Andy Schwarz

    Sport occupies a central space in the American psyche. We tell ourselves all manner of myth about our heroes who wage symbolic combat on our behalf. One of these is that our sports are only pure if the combatants are “amateurs,” but how does that make sense in a world where a member of the...

    So many trades! What is this, the NBA?! Noor and Andrew talk through recent trades, including putting on our GM hats and making idle speculation about other possible trades ahead of the deadline next week. Andrew, once again, butchers a player’s name and gets a division wrong, but it’s...

    As the NFL enters its 100th season, there are some historic story lines on the horizon. We talk about some of the all-time greats who should move up in the record books this season. Next, we get a little sidetracked talking about a possible work stoppage at the end of the season before pivoting…

    What better way to celebrate 5 years of podcasting than mocking a team’s new uniforms? (With apologies to our good friend and Jets fan, Jayson, who we will have as a guest on a future episode!) Thankfully, we quickly pivot to lamenting the lame way the nascent AAF was managed. Can we please…

    Not that that means anything

    Wherein we consider a rebranding as the NFL Outsiders, but instead spend over an hour dissecting the AFC, and in fact mostly the AFC North. Don’t judge, there’s a lot to talk about! We welcome again our good friend, Brian Schmoldt, Cleveland Browns season ticket holder. 14 months after going...

    Worst Super Bowl, really?

    My god, we don’t exactly get right to the point. Who’s your Batman? How does that pertain to football? Well, let us take you on a little journey back to the 1980s and somehow manage to bring it back to the 2019 Super Bowl. Was this really the worst football in recent memory? Here, let us tell you...

We then move on to recap a wild Wildcard Weekend and make our picks for the remainder of the NFL playoffs. We can’t help ourselves and delve a...

    Putting the Paul back in Paul & Eddie’s

    The whole reason we do The Slant and Go is that our good friend, Paul, got tired of listening to us argue about sports at happy hours and suggested we channel that misspent energy into a podcast. In this episode, Paul joins us as we go back to our spiritual (if you can call it that) roots by...

    The Heisman Episode

    We had set out to talk mostly (exclusively?) about the Heisman Trophy, but got sidetracked right off the bat by talk about the current state of NFL teams with QB-heavy caps. It’s all good, though. We eventually get to a mock snake draft of former Heisman winners. Let us know who you think won,...

    Election Steve

    Recorded during Monday Night Football on the eve of the 2018 mid-terms, this episode has nothing to do with either that game or politics. Instead, we spend a bulk of the time going division by division and assessing the question “What have we learned?” through 9 weeks of the regular season.
