2025 NFL Draft

April 14, 2025 • 96 mins
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 draft picks are unlikely to instantly make your team better (that guy can be such a downer). We proceed to talk about the draft despite hi...

10 years of shenanigans

April 6, 2024 • 118 mins

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 fan, and craig Alimo, world’s most reasonable Patriots fan.

With craig being on the episode, we don’t know who’s actually ever going to listen ...

Team needs? Skoden!

March 7, 2024 • 119 mins
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 about the Seahawks, but Noor salvages the day by bringing the knowledge on the topics of the day. Don’t miss our 10th anniversary episode,...

Week 1 [over]reactions

April 16, 2023 • 81 mins
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!

April 16, 2023 • 86 mins
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, Noor brings actual analysis to bear on the myriad possibilities of draft season. No one does the off-season like the NFL and for whatever r...

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

March 9, 2023 • 89 mins
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)

January 18, 2023 • 106 mins
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 playoffs, and briefly to next year’s draft. We even give a preview of our next episode! (Assuming it doesn’t take us another 9 months to reco...

And here you thought you were done with us…

April 17, 2022 • 79 mins
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 conversational NFL chit chat you’ve come to love over our 8 years in existence, except this time with some USFL thrown in for good measure!...

Post Draft Recap

May 3, 2020 • 123 mins
Everyone remembers their first time and hopefully so it will be for our guest, Bicky Bhullar, someone who, considering he is friend and family to Andrew and Noor, shouldn’t have taken 5 years to get on the ’cast. Our apologies, Bicky, but we made up for lost time by spending 2 hours talking through an exhaustive if a little meandering recap of the recent NFL Draft. You’d think we’d have spent time on the radically different...

5th Anniversary Episode!

April 4, 2020 • 87 mins
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 to what actually ended up happening. But we’re not, so instead we talk about this pretty unprecedented free agency with a QB carousel lik...

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

November 23, 2019 • 97 mins
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 marching band can be paid to play a music gig without risking her music scholarship, but the point guard on the basketball team can’t be c...

What is this, the NBA?!

October 23, 2019 • 68 mins
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 endearing, right? No, no it’s not. But both listeners will tolerate it. We hope. Oh, and we might have another project in the works….

Wait, we actually remembered what episode it was?

September 18, 2019 • 79 mins
You know that thing where we stumble over what episode it is, like, each and every episode? Well, we didn’t do that this time! I know, right? We’re getting better at this podcasting thing! And, a propos of the season, we actually spend the majority of our time on Fantasy Football concerns. What a concept! With Ben & Drew out for extended periods and Stafford on Andrew’s bench, we strategize how to get the most value out of p...

Story lines, Dynasty, and Rookies…oh my!

August 19, 2019 • 64 mins
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 to an explanation by Noor of the dynamics of a “dynasty” fantasy football league (not to be confused with a “keeper” league) compar...

5th Anniversary Edition!

April 4, 2019 • 48 mins

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 have spring football that lasts more than 80% of a season? After beating that dead horse, Andrew eventually segues the conversation to a bizarr...

Not that that means anything

March 21, 2019 • 64 mins
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 0-16, the Browns are poised to take over the AFC North. Andrew almost commits to buying season tickets…

Worst Super Bowl, really?

February 7, 2019 • 62 mins
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 whether that’s the case. We know. We’ll tell you. (Hint: It was neither the worst, nor the best.) In any case, we spend an inordinate amo...

NFL Playoff Predictions (Mostly)

January 9, 2019 • 76 mins
We actually kick things off by talking about an entertaining NCAAF national championship game that showcased upwards of 2 dozen future NFL draft picks. 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 little into the drama in Pittsburg before teasing a possible episode from the NFL Draft in Nashville. (Spoiler alert: Don’t hold your br...

Putting the Paul back in Paul & Eddie’s

December 16, 2018 • 71 mins
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 recording at World Famous Paul & Eddie’s Monte Vista Inn in Cupertino, California. The discussion is a bit rambling, but Noor salvages thing...

The Heisman Episode

December 6, 2018 • 79 mins
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, Andrew or Noor, on Twitter @theslantandgo!
