A Tuesday night pod will always make things interesting. Guys on byes, waiver moves not yet made and a whole host of other things.
And yet, none of that could prepare us for one of the wilder opens in League Talk history.
Not normally known for his vocal talents, Brendan “Beans” Cahill flashed the pipes with his own version of the 2006 classic “Hey There Delilah.” This cut took a turn from the original, moving the central theme from love to hate as he sang of Joe Burrow’s struggles. I was truly touched by this moment. It’s even more impressive when you stick around to learn that Beans pulled a Jay Z and wrote the entire joint in five minutes.
Eventually, the regularly scheduled programing resumed as the gang (minus Tommy Bones) attacked the Week 4 action. It was an embarrassing week for many league members, this humble hack included.
Once game talk started, Andrew continued to showcase his command of the English language, adding two new names to his victim list: De’Von Achane and Matt Breida. He also called me Jack. We’ll get ’em next time, bud.
New to the pod this week was a food delivery interruption. Not once, but twice. If listeners weren’t hungry before, they were when the poultry arrived.
I also made a guest appearance on the show this week. Ratings boost anyone???
We also got some important injury updates. Zuke (Zook?) is now listed as “day by day” as he continues to recover from a skateboard assault and Beans is back at full strength.
The Week 5 episode runs just over an hour and 23 minutes. With singing and jokes, this entry is absolutely certified fresh. 87% 🍅.
Must Be Sunday
