Starting point is 00:00:11 Oh, we did it. Another football season in the books. And I'm sad already that we are now heading in to the dark season of the sports calendar. I am Ryan Castle of the Diasexed DJs. If this is your first time joining the show. Welcome. You check them back in. Welcome back.
Starting point is 00:00:30 And I started the NFL season with a week one rundown, a quickie little review. Then I checked in at the midpoint, a little midseason review. So it's only right that I follow. up the finish of it all the grand finale the Super Bowl with one final look in at everything as it played out for the NFL season and I'm here to bring you one final note for all 32 teams in the National Football League and I do this because we are the DJs that like to spin it mix it throw it back and dissect it and when my favorite season is done there's nothing left to do but reflect do a
Starting point is 00:01:09 little look in the future and then feel sad that it's all over. But before I hit all the notes for each team as they stand right now, I'd be remissed if I didn't go ahead and take a look at how it all finished up. We all just watched Super Bowl 60 on Sunday. I hope you enjoyed your experience.
Starting point is 00:01:27 Because heading into the game, we had the Seahawks and the Patriots. On paper, it looked like a very underwhelming matchup that nobody was too hyped about. But once the bright lights turn on and the big game gets underway, It was the opportunity for both teams to say, hey, you are absolutely right.
Starting point is 00:01:45 That game sucked. After a pretty exciting season, where the end result was very much up in the air, we ended up with two teams who really looked like they didn't belong there. At least one of them absolutely looked like they did not belong there. And it brought me this realization. If in the future you ever look at the Super Bowl matchup and one of the teams just doesn't really look right,
Starting point is 00:02:05 like, wait a second, that team is in the Super Bowl? Really? Believe it. take the other team because it very much felt like the Patriots fluked their way into this game had the easiest schedule of the season had some terrible weather games that they inched their way through feels like they're ahead of schedule like maybe a year or two before they're actually supposed to be there the last time i remember seeing a team look like that was when the LA Rams found themselves into the Super Bowl against the Patriots and what definitely felt like this team is way ahead of scheduled to be here. Jared Gough has got his team into the Super Bowl and need I remind you that
Starting point is 00:02:41 that one happened as a result at the most all-time bullshit non-call in the NFC championship game against the Saints. And all of a sudden we end up with this Jared Gough Rams team and it was like, I don't know, this doesn't feel right. And guess what it didn't? That was the most boring game of all time where the Rams managed only three points. And this game said, hold my beer. Let me show you how it's done. And then the game started and it went something like this. Punt, punt, punt, punt, field goal, punt, punt, punt, field goal, punt, punt, punt, field goal, you get the point. There's something like that. Really not a whole lot to sink your teeth into. And then we got to the halftime show and thank God, there are times where, as I mentioned in our
Starting point is 00:03:24 last episode when we did the annoying sports fan draft with Juan Hernandez, where we talked about how one of the more annoying fans is the ones who have to announce. I'm only here for the halftime show. This was one of those rare opportunities where the halftime show got me legitimately hyped because I was like, this game has given me nothing. So let's get into the halftime show because it was much talked about leading up to it. And then inevitably, of course, it has been heavily discussed since. Bad Bunny took the stage. And oh my God, the production and presentation of this show has raised the bar significantly to what a halftime show could be. I gotta give a shout out to Apple
Starting point is 00:04:05 Who puts the show on and whatever production team they have Because every second of that show It was like a live music video You could have made that whole thing in music video That would have taken multiple days to shoot And a whole bunch of storyboarding and game planning And they all did it one take The way the camera angles would switch
Starting point is 00:04:22 Bad Bunny knew exactly where it was gonna be As he's walking through the sugar canes At the beginning he turns and looks to the left And there's a camera right there like Going through the whole communities This dudes playing Domino's Taco stand over here, and then next thing you know, he's falling through a house at one point and just takes out like a kitchen table, which made me audibly laugh as it happened. Pops back out, keeps it going, and Lady Gaga made an awesome cameo, Ricky Martin showed up.
Starting point is 00:04:47 For somebody who's worked in production, and I'd say to anybody that's ever been around working with theater or live performance or presentation, like, you have got to give it up for how that show was put together. I mean, it took you to another world, and I said it as it was happening. They got to play a football game again on this exact spot in 15 minutes. It is wild how they were able to build an entire set in such a short amount of time with so much going on. All those dancers, awesome choreography, dancers looked great. It was just an incredible piece of entertainment. And of course, there was going to be a lot of people that went into the show already hating it before it started. For all the people that want to look at a halftime show and look for something to be wrong with it that they can complain about.
Starting point is 00:05:32 all I will say is my advice I'm not telling anybody what to do but I would just recommend just take an entertainment and allow yourself to enjoy the art for what it is entertainment it's a fun show it's meant to be fun it's not meant to tell you to think a certain way it's meant to just play some music and put on an awesome show and that's what this was like even if you didn't like the music even if you didn't like that you couldn't understand what you're saying because you speak in Spanish you don't speak Spanish that performance that presentation created a whole another world. Remember, this was a football game and they created an entire world, shot
Starting point is 00:06:06 brilliantly, performed excellently by Benito, the dancers, the choreography was incredible. Just allow yourself to enjoy the art. Stop trying to tell yourself that there's a reason that you have to hate this. And I'll say this. The Super Bowl halftime show has been the most picked on performance for as long as I can remember. Ever since it's been the big performance of the year, in the last 20 years, I'd say. I cannot think of a single halftime performance where at least half the talk the next day was not, that show sucked. Who even cares about that artist? So, even though it feels captive in the moment of a lot of people wanting to impose, like, their thoughts on Bad Bunny, whether they hate or love them, this is not a new thing. Every year, half the talk on the Monday after the Super Bowl is
Starting point is 00:06:52 about how much that show sucked and people weren't impressed by it. And let me just say, all of these shows have been incredible displays of theater. The bar has been so highly raised for what a halftime show can be, and it's just been taken off the roof with that one. Like, I can remember when the Black Eyed Peas put on their show back in like 2010, and I was like, this is a pretty awesome display of choreography. I just remember they had all these light up people with like their robot helmets all in sync, like dancing, and when you look back in hindsight compared to like what we've seen in the last few years,
Starting point is 00:07:24 yeah, it doesn't hold up. but at the time I was just thinking like, this is a pretty wild show. Guess what? I remember everybody's shitting on that the next day. Same thing with Madonna the next year. It's just become the way of our culture to see the show that has been worked on for months with one of the top artists of all time and in the moment. Go out there and just put on a great show. And the first reaction that so many people have, no matter who's doing it,
Starting point is 00:07:48 is to say, this show sucked. How much did it cost you? What was the ticket getting in? don't answer that people that actually went to the game because yeah they're jacking that up for only it can take from you that's for sure these days but just enjoy the arts stop looking at entertainment through the lens of how can i hate this because there's just way too much of that going on these days and it's just easier to enjoy life and not look for things to be mad about and i feel like in this day and age we are constantly being told why and how we need to hate stuff instead of just looking at
Starting point is 00:08:22 things for the entertainment that they are. That's why I think my favorite thing about the whole show was Bad Bunny's message at the end of it with a massive billboard saying the only thing more powerful than hate is love. If you can read that message and find a reason to have a problem with it, I just say maybe check the temperature on yourself for a little bit. How could that be a controversial message? That's what I'm getting at. This was just a fun show showing a culture, showing a community, the kind of community that he grew up with. And you know what that culture was? That was America.
Starting point is 00:08:55 That was both international and America coming together to show you what kind of community we have in this thing. You know what I've always loved most about America? To shoot straight for a second. Oh, I'm going in! I love how diverse this country is and not just with the people, but the communities, the cities that we have, the entertainment that we provide. Look at the Olympic team.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Does Olympic seasons right now? You know, I love that our teams when they go out there have all different types of people represented in them. And that type of community that Bad Bunny was shown in that one, there are awesome little towns like that in New York and L.A. And of course, Puerto Rico that have a cool sense of community to them. And that's why I would always say get out and travel, go see it. America is full of awesome cities, vibrance with different communities. And I would say it'd be good for everybody to get out there as much of they can and go see it. You know what I like to do whenever I travel?
Starting point is 00:09:45 just like walking around the city and just taking it in go feel what it's like to walk around in new york miami nashville new orleans Portland Boston Seattle and even the streets of puerto rico just you know having the pueblos on the corner little taco stands over here a little juice stand like that's what i love to see in my representations of america just like the cool little communities that have a specific look to what that community in that area is they all are different and that's what's beautiful about this country you know what my favorite sunday night football opening was back in the day was around, I'd say, like, 2010. The opening to Sunday night football had all these different teams represented in, like, what their geographic setting was. And I
Starting point is 00:10:25 always thought that was really cool. They'd have, like, players of the Cowboys coming in with sort of like the Western Texas ambiance. Players in the Cardinals were in the desert, you know, of Arizona. Players on Green Bay were in, like, the cold forests of Wisconsin. Like, they had all these represented. I always thought that was so cool, because I love how we have all these awesome cities beautifully represented by these teams with names that match the city and the energy of what those cities represent and the different looks that they all had.
Starting point is 00:10:51 And that was exactly what this was. He's showing you the community that it comes up with and a little nod to his upbringing Puerto Rico an American territory. So not to go off on a rant too late for that. But I had to give a little nod to that halftime show because the game didn't give me a whole lot to talk about. And I just thought that the presentation of that show was tremendous.
Starting point is 00:11:12 They had people dressed as trees. The fact that they thought it would be better to have people dressed in the shrubbery instead of having people wheel them out because of nothing else, it would make it move in and out faster. That's awesome. So that was that. It certainly gave this game a shot in the arm that it needed.
Starting point is 00:11:28 And when we came back in the second half, it got a little bit going, sort of, in the fourth quarter. Finally got a little excitement. Started seeing some defensive turnovers. Thank God for the Patriots touchdown bomb to Mack Hollins. Because if it wasn't for that play, I don't think the Patriots would have had one offensive highlight in the entire game. That was it. But yeah, basically, the Seahawks put a strangle on them.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Defense was tremendous. Had like six or seven sacks somehow. The only player that I actually had a prop and getting a sack in was like the only one that didn't get it. Where you had to Marcus Lawrence? But yeah, while discussing the halftime show, we should check back into our Bad Bunny special and see how we did with our predictions. We called out four songs. That could be the possible opener. And we nailed it with Titi Me Preguntas.
Starting point is 00:12:11 And Justin even said that he would bet all his money that that one was played. Should have put all the money up on it. We would be partying today, knowing that one hit. Instead, I just watched it without putting anything down on it. No, instead I took the bet that Jackson Smith and Jigba would be MVP. How'd that one work out? I'll tell you one catch and spent a good amount of time in the blue tent. And then it was mostly irrelevant.
Starting point is 00:12:33 But the Seahawks dominated anyways. It didn't matter. The other songs we called out, we were three for four on because he also played Monaco and EOO. Oh, so not a bad round of predicting for our Bad Bunny special. But anyways, not really a whole lot else to say about the game, other than it was the cleanest Gatorade shower I've ever seen hit. Did you see that? Watch that thing in slow motion.
Starting point is 00:12:53 The way it hit them in and just like splashed up over, man, Gatorade must love that tradition. Has any company ever had a better marketing opportunity with a better recurring situation than Gatorade has come up on with the Super Bowl? Only the biggest sporting event of the year that always is capped off with their product being doused over the winning coach. Could you get a better marketing campaign than that? We literally have bets going on about it.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Speaking of marketing campaigns, apparently crypto is making a push. Still heavy in the mix. Definitely saw a whole bunch of representation for that, which I got to say that Backstreet Boys karaoke commercial, everybody seemed to have the same experience as it was when I was in the room where they got everybody's attention and was about as cheap of a commercial to put together as you could
Starting point is 00:13:37 with the whole karaoke setup of Backstreet Boys. everybody. I keep hearing people talk about how everybody in their room started singing it. It was the same thing in the room I was watching it. And then everybody unanimously had the same reaction when suddenly it just flashes to Coinbase. What does that even mean? What does Coinbase have to do with Bex Street Boys? The thing was, I didn't know where they were going with that, but there was an opportunity for a punchline for somebody. Maybe like somebody unplugs it or something and it's like a commercial for shoes and won't get in the way of shit. I don't know. There was something. There was a joke to be made to like cap that off but it certainly wasn't just flashed to coinbase and everybody
Starting point is 00:14:13 ended up hated in that commercial but it got people talking so i guess props and then the other one that grabbed my attention was the uh the eagle on the back of the horse just because of that opening shot where there was like a little baby eagle and then the horses are protecting it from the rain look i'm not a huge like cute animals commercial guy but even i was just like okay that that was fucking adorable are you kidding me did you see that and then the payoff of having the eagle like fly off the back of the horse with like Tom Petty playing and then they go to the Super Bowl. That's one of those things that actually take me back to the early memories of the Super World where like commercials would coincide with something actually happening with the field
Starting point is 00:14:47 because commercials used to matter more like that. And that was about it. Then a whole bunch of AI generated commercial bullshit, which as an editor is kind of annoying to see that now even Super Bowl commercials are outsourcing AI and giving them a whole lot of advertising platforms for just being AI. I don't know. So that was Super Bowl LX in the books. Next year is coming right here to L.A.
Starting point is 00:15:13 And it would be great to see my Niners make an appearance in that. I'm looking forward to that. So those are my notes to how the season capped off. But what about moving forward? That's why it's time for me to give my final notes for every team in the NFL. So hit my music! All right, let's get it going with one more final. note getting into the off season for all 32 NFL teams.
Starting point is 00:15:41 We gotta kick it off with the newly crowned champ Seattle Seahawks. Hey Seattle! Congrats on getting the rock and giving us all hope. I still hate you. Sam Darnold is an inspiring story. Given up on by multiple organizations, had to work his way back into proving he belongs in the starting club, and now he stands tall as the champ at the top of the mountain.
Starting point is 00:16:05 It's always nice to be. feel inspiration from watching someone who got repeatedly kicked in the nards. Get up and do a little nard kicking themselves and say, do it, doubt me. I dare you. Now watch this, tick that, especially from those of us who dealt with a little bit of nard kicking ourselves. Good job, Sam. Way to shake it off and do a little nard kicking. Oh, I'm being alerted that I've now overused my subscription for the term nard kicking for
Starting point is 00:16:35 for 2026. And I'll need to upgrade to premium if I want it. No, I'm good. We can retire the term Nardkicking from the lexicon. For now. Cogrette, Seattle. I've always liked it up there. And for a city who had their NBA franchise stolen from them, they deserve this. Believe me, as an L.A. resident who loves the NFL, I know how that goes. Bring back the Sonics. But as a Niners fan, I still hate you. See you next season. Patriots! Nobody wanted this. And you shut us all why. Thank you for giving us the most boring Super Bowl since the last time you were in one. Ironically, the Pats would have way more confidence going on the next season's outlook had they just not made the Super Bowl altogether.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Someone check on Drake May. Dude like that game mighta broke him. You weren't ready for that spot and that was clear. But I don't blame you. I blame every other team in the AFC. Step up your game next year. All of you. Except the Chiefs.
Starting point is 00:17:33 But we'll get to you. I don't care what he says about it now. Tom Brady was absolutely hyped to see the Pats lose that game. Let's move on to the Rams. One more shot to do it in Stafford's house. The last time the Super Bowl was held in L.A. Sofi Stadium, the Rams took home the hardware after eking by the Niners in the NFC championship game. Next year's game is in SoFi Stadium, and if I can forecast a bit,
Starting point is 00:18:00 I'd say it'll be Maddie Stafford's last shot at bringing the blue and gold one more ring. And then it's back to the midcar for the Ram fam. But they will need to eke by the Niners again, not to mention the defending champs. Seahawks. Memo to the league, the NFC West is here, and the Titans you will need to top if you want the glory. Speaking of which, Niners! Get rid of that damn electrical substation now! I'm not a big conspiracy theory guy, but I've seen enough injury demise from this team now for years.
Starting point is 00:18:35 I'm not playing around with it anymore. Get that thing out of here or move the practice facility. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Google it. I'm not watching this team be held together with Band-Aids and Scotch tape for yet another year. Let's not play around with this thing anymore. Get away from the power grid so this team can finally show everyone what it's supposed to be with an actually healthy unit. It's time. ready for a three-headed NFC West Rumbledown for the big Lombardy in 2027.
Starting point is 00:19:04 And let's put it in a cage. As long as that cage is far away from that fucking electrical grid. Seriously. Cardinals. Are you still here? We kind of forgot about you. Good luck with the QB hunt. Probably going to be a rough one for you.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Eagles. If you're going to keep the Philly Toxic vibe alive, can you at least make it more fun to watch on the field? Bain the tush push. For your own good. Even they are sick of getting in the rugby stance on every fifth play. In my mid-season review, I forecasted that we might just have to deal with another Chief's Eagles of Super Bowl. What a blessing to be so wrong on that one. It was so much better to hate watch a boring-ass game between the Seahawks and Pats.
Starting point is 00:19:49 But not by much. Cowboys! This is your year. No, it's not. But I know you're going to tell yourself that again. like you always do so I thought it'd be nice to hear from someone else for a change we've officially passed the 30-year mark of Cowboys Non-Relevance here's to another 30 Cheers Jerry Giants building a low-key squad that will very much not be low-key very soon and very New York allowed about it
Starting point is 00:20:17 The Harbaugh dark neighbor's scataboo combo will make a loud bang in the early part of next season and then break down physically by the end of it no electrical station needed. Book it. Hey, remember when the commanders made a wild run to the NFC championship last year? Oh, really? That happened. I know, right?
Starting point is 00:20:38 In a year, it'll sound even wilder than it does right now. Say what? Hey Washington fan. You hanging in there? It's been a rough few decades. But I think that might have been your peak in the Daniels era. And certainly the Dan Quinn era. Don't shoot the messenger.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Vikings. Oof. That hurt right? watching Darnold do all that when you traded them out for nine. That was probably your Super Bowl too. Did you enjoy it? Probably not right. At least you still got the skull clap.
Starting point is 00:21:12 I like the skull clap. Lions! A coordinator away from getting over the hump. And possibly a QB. One of those things are way harder to find than the other. And based on your team history, I think you know which one it is. Bears. You did it. You had an exciting season that didn't suck.
Starting point is 00:21:32 That's pretty good. Something to build on for the future. Congrats on that. It's the first time in my life that I've seen Bears fans be happy about something. So I'm going to let them have it. And I'll quietly bear crawl away. Packers. Kind of the same old thing, no?
Starting point is 00:21:48 In the mix, but nobody really feels the threat. It's kind of like when I'd watch that Mid-Carter in WWF when I was a kid. Get a lot of fan reaction, but we all kind of knew here. He wasn't really gonna win anything big in the end. Like Tito Santana. He's gonna throw some Arribas, get the crowd hype, but that dude wasn't winning a world title, and we all knew that, but we loved him anyways.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Get ready for a full off-season of Micah Parsons recovering and finally make that impact, just so you can do another season where you're in the mix, but nobody really feels the threat. At least you still have the cheeseheads, unless Chicago's greater heads ended those for good, in which case, that's probably all right. Those hats look stupid.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Everyone thinks those hats look stupid. And if Elon putting it on to try to rally you vote this past year didn't prove that, well, nothing will. Cheez-on! Panthers! I was excited to see something happen for you again. After a decade of absolutely nothing, he finally got a gritty playoff performance that you fell ass backwards into.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Here's to hoping you can pull it off again next year, as you wonder for the fourth year in a row if Bryce Young is the guy. What are you? He's probably not. Buccaneers. When they're on, they're on. And when they're off, they're... What the hell happened here?
Starting point is 00:23:05 Still a fun watch and still no QB. I trust more to pick up those 10 yards with his legs to get the first down than Baker. I woke up this morning feeling pretty dangerous. That guy's a tough, greaty watch. As long as he's there with a squad of all star receivers, you got something. At least, you still got the battleship that fires off cannons. Canons are cool. Falcons!
Starting point is 00:23:27 Who is your QB? It feels like the ATL has given up on anybody you got currently. I hope you find something, because the pieces are in place to be something fierce. At least you got the Magic City. Saints! Ultimate Purgatory. A QB nobody's sure about. A coach nobody knows if they're good or not, and I start running back who's just about done.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Welcome to nothingness. It might be a while. Cheaves! It's over. I set it in week one and I'm sticking to it now. Thank you for giving us a dominant team to take down for all those years. We all really hated going through it. That was legitness.
Starting point is 00:24:06 But I think we can meet Mark Safe from another year of Chiefs in the Super Bowl. And I realize now that I'm saying that, it's happening again probably. Charger! A legendary QB and coach combo that are stuck forever fighting the curse that your franchise has laid upon you. I have an idea. Go back to San Diego. It's a great city, and they're thirsty for it. They might play hard to get on the surface, but they will take you back in a snap. As a resident of L.A., I can tell you, we really don't know how to say you're here.
Starting point is 00:24:41 It gets forgotten a lot. San Diego, do it. And hey Herbert, when a playoff game? Let's start there. Broncos! Your horse sound for charging up purposes always makes me laugh. You're on to something here. It should have been you in that Super Bowl, but in a way. weird way. No, it shouldn't. Be better AFC, and I'm looking at you, Denver. Let's start with you.
Starting point is 00:25:04 Raiders. I don't think it's getting any better. But it's always fun to watch them win, lose, or try in the most Raider way possible, meaning it's actually not fun at all. Shout out to Juan and all Raiders Nation that I've been checked out emotionally for so long that disappointment no longer registers. Good luck with the first pick. If you get that nerd from Indiana, I am excited. to see how the most non-Vegas guy ever adapts to Sin City. I'm putting in a 101 odds bet that it immediately flips him to go full on Rodman with it. Mendoza. Go full Dennis Rodman with it. It'll be a fun watch and you'll probably have a fun time. Let Vegas win. Because it always wins anyways, right? And it would be the most exciting thing that that franchise has done since Jim Plunkett,
Starting point is 00:25:58 which was the name I just wanted to say out loud right now. Jets. I mean, what can you say? Why would anyone ever... This, can you imagine being a Jets fan? Seriously, for a second. Knowing how hard this team makes winning look or even getting to the Super Bowl, to watch the quarterback that they drafted
Starting point is 00:26:20 and then gave up on Hold the Lombardi against a team who dominated them for two decades, who then had to start from scratch, and then get right back to the Super Bowl within a couple years. Poor run out for your Jets fans out there. Being saddled with this fandom has got to be the worst thing that sports can do to a person. And I hate to be the one I deliver this news. You're going to Jets it up again this season.
Starting point is 00:26:40 It'll be hilarious. For us, it'll probably suck for you. Again, but you knew that already. But you know who's not the Jets? The Dolphins. And they are so lucky that they have the Jets around. Because if it wasn't for them, always being the more embarrassing team in the division, then everyone would probably notice a lot more that the dolphins are actually just,
Starting point is 00:27:01 the Jets and Teal. But hey, at least they have South Beach. Bills. Can you give these people something? Anything? How about a good receiver? How about a playoff win? The fact that this blustery town in Western New York has given me so much secondhand sadness over the years actually makes me more sad that there's a team in Blustery Western New York that can bring me saddest us via frustrating football losses. I'm pulling for you, Buffalo, but you gotta help yourself to help yourself. At least you got, I don't know, Niagara Falls. I don't know, just win a damn Super Bowl for once. Please! Just do it! Give that mafia something. They're jumping through tables to try to cope.
Starting point is 00:27:42 Steelers. I hate to be the one to tell you this. Rogers is not the answer. But you will spend a full offseason telling yourselves he is and let him do the whole long offseason walking through the darkness retreat hopped up on Fox News and peyote. But he's not, and I think you know that. But winning QBs are hard to come by. Just ask the Jets. And like half the league. Also, Boswell missed that kick too.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Fatality. Let's not forget that. At least you have that victory lap over the Ravens. Ravens! Why are you going in the wrong way? Why do you not use Eric Henry, but half the game every time? Why did you name your team after a poem? Strike that.
Starting point is 00:28:26 I actually think Ravens is a pretty badass. name and I still think Lamar is a pretty badass QB. Don't ruin that kicker. You're gonna need him again. So send him a fruit basket and tell him he did a bang up job all season. Brow. Fruit de loop. These kickers are sensitive people. Look at this dude. Kick for a living. They not like us. Oh my God. Browns. Is it time for a new QB and coach? To see if this shakeup will change everything? Where have I heard this before? Why does it never work? Damn it with this team! I love you, Cleveland.
Starting point is 00:29:00 I so want this to finally work for you, but doubts are high. At least you have the world's biggest stamp. Look it up. I've been pictured with it. It's just a big fucking stamp. God bless Cleveland. Bengals. The more time passes, the more I'm happy you fought your way into Super Bowl 56 against the Rams.
Starting point is 00:29:20 That might have been your time. Players prices go up and you are a notoriously cheap organization. And I see this thing fall in. apart before it builds back together. At least you got the chili, which I guess is a thing there. Damn, there are a lot of teams. It's at this point when Castle realized going through all 32 teams is a bit of a chore, right about when you hit the AFC South. That's when it really hits. Okay, home stretch, let's go! Texans! My crazier is something here. I don't know what happened of C.J. Stroud, but if you can summon the power of sophomore CJ again with this defense,
Starting point is 00:29:55 Hey my man, D'Amico Rines pulling the gizmos? This could be a team to mess with. One of the few teams that have never been to a Super Bowl, and I'd be down to see it. Bounce back, CJ, let's go. Go, Buckeyes. Speaking of teams that have never made it to the Super Bowl, Jaguars. Might be at the doorstep of something.
Starting point is 00:30:13 The back half of that season was the first time I've seen this franchise appear to be on the right check to making something happen. Trevor Lawrence might finally be a dude. Travis Hunter, remember him? They traded a gangload to go up and grab them with the second pick. And then we all forgot about them. Pick aside, two-way players do not jive in the NFL. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:34 May I suggest defense? So we don't waste draft picks on you in fantasy. Because I made that mistake this season. And their offense doesn't really seem to need you. AFC South might have some real teams for once. Titans. Oh. Never mind.
Starting point is 00:30:50 This year we get to find out if Cam Ward is worthy of that number one pick, Because his rookie season taught me nothing. Except that fadeaway crossfield pass is nasty. There could be something here, but I doubt it. And finally, we got the Colts. A tale of two seasons. There was a point when Daniel Jones and Jonathan Taylor were in the driver's seat for comeback player and MVP respectively. They were 8 and 2, and traded the house to get Soss Gardner.
Starting point is 00:31:17 And then the wheels fell off like a Benny Hell sketch. And ended up being 8 and 9. Regroup boys. and do your best not to remember that you're entrusting your future in Daniel Jones. But hey, at least you got the Indy 500? I guess that worse. That's a thing. People get excited about it. I don't know, the Combine, Pat McAfee.
Starting point is 00:31:38 I don't know. I just talked about all 32 teams and I am tired. Google it. I'm ready to move past it and officially put this NFL season to bed. And it makes me sad to do that. But here we are. Get ready for the most boring stretch of the sports calendar. Madness, I'm ready for you. But for now, that was my final notes of the NFL 2025 season.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Good game y'all for Ryan Castle of the Dysect DJs.
