This week on the F3 Podcast, hosts Erin Frazier and Chef Jonathan Frazier of the Comox Valley dive into Week 16 as fantasy football semifinals collide with the final stretch of the NFL season. Erin breaks down a tense matchup still undecided heading into Monday Night Football, the thin line between championship hopes and elimination, and the growing impact of late-season injuries — especially at quarterback.
The conversation expands to a chaotic week around the league, highlighted by a Seahawks–Rams overtime thriller, controversial finishes, and shifting playoff expectations. With contenders stumbling and unpredictability ruling December football, Erin and Jonathan share cautious thoughts on who may still be built for a deep postseason run.
Team of the week: the New England Patriots. Erin reflects on the franchise’s polarizing dynasty under Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, before turning to New England’s post-Brady resurgence behind rookie quarterback Drake May and a strong supporting cast.
The episode wraps with food — New England style. Jonathan highlights cold-weather game-day staples like clam chowder, lobster rolls, fried clams, and Fenway Franks, with the featured favourite being classic New England steak tips— marinated, grilled, and perfect for winter tailgating.
