The FOOTBALL SICKNESS PODCAST, 2013 Volume 1

After a long winter, Burns and Sen Dog are excited to finally be back with a new episode of the FOOTBALL SICKNESS PODCAST!  We might have been down, but we were not out.  The Super Bowl provides the perfect backdrop for the return of the ‘cast.  We’ll make predictions and break it all down from more angles than a geometry teacher.  We’ll look back at some of the highlights from the NFL and college football seasons, we’ll tease you with some NFL Draft goodness, and of course we each get to vent about our respective squads.  Can’t wait to take in this Ravens-Niners matchup and discuss it with you all next week.  But now, for the final time this season…GET YOUR HELMET ON!!!

The FOOTBALL SICKNESS PODCAST, Eastbound & Down Edition

In the last of our division preview podcast series, Ryan Burns & Sen Sogah get deep into the NFC and AFC East.  The Beast is in the NFC, where all four teams have things to be excited about. Kind of.  Nasty schedules, nasty weather, and nasty pass rushers appear to be the story of the season. Over in the AFC, we’ve got quarterback “situations” and the big bully up in New England (and that status ain’t changin’ anytime soon).  The season is getting tantalizingly close.  If you haven’t yet, we strongly recommend that you GET YOUR HELMET ON!!!

Encore time?

The FOOTBALL SICKNESS PODCAST: Great Sick North Edition

The third set of divisional preview and prediction podcasts is now live, as Ryan Burns and Sen Sogah head north to tackle two of the NFL’s most hotly-contested and physically demanding divisions.  Will the Pack be back?  Will the Bears keep Jay Cutler upright long enough to be as good as they look?  Will the Lions’ circus in the offseason create a 2012 hangover?  Will the Vikings score touchdowns?  And in the AFC, will the Steelers and Ravens maintain their dominance over their traditional Ohio whipping boys, the Bengals and Browns?  All these questions get answered, along with many others.  We also may have noticed the MJD fiasco and all the young quarterbacks seizing the torch.  We’re almost there, folks. The season kicks off in two weeks. You’d better make damn sure you GET YOUR HELMET ON!!!
