ITP #004: NFL Scandals


Episode 4. Serious turns to sinister in the latest instalment of the Inside The Pocket series as the boys turn their attention to NFL scandals. Pushing the boundaries of fair play is common in most sports. It's how far you take it that distinguishes the blurred lines between gaining an edge and cheating. In this pod we look at three moments of the modern era that rocked the sport to it's core - Spygate, Bountygate & Deflategate, and debate whether or not the punishments fit the crimes. Just how much cheating is too much cheating?

All the news from the last two weeks discussed too. Enjoy!

ITP #003: Iron Mike


Episode 3. The lads get serious once more and trundle back to the early 80's, exploring the crazy world of Iron Mike Ditka. A face like a fist and a mouth like a sailor, Ditka was as boisterous as he was talented. From Hall of Fame Tight End to Superbowl wining Head Coach, we discuss what it is that drove such an angry man to success, and whether his confrontational style could ever work in the modern game. Enjoy!

CPP #74: He Definitely Did It


The studio is a sweatbox as Sam, Si & Rob reconvene for another pod. Once they've discussed the less glamorous side to Si's job there's plenty of news to get stuck into, despite it being the quiet season - most of it rather unsavoury. Then on to our returning feature - QB power rankings! And if you thought Sam was daft last year then, well, nothing has changed. Enjoy!

ITP #002 - Moonlight Flits


Episode 2. The boys get serious once more as they reconvene their "Inside The Pocket" series, this week looking into the filthy world of franchise relocation. A foreign concept to us Brits, it's a phenomena sadly all too common in the history of the NFL. From an owner moving because his wife wanted to live by the beach to a team leaving town under the cover of darkness, everything is on the table, including the future of Si's beloved Chargers and what The Raiders have in store when they head to Las Vegas. Enjoy!
