Backward Pass

This week on the Backward Pass Pod, David & Sharayah reflect on their recent fantasy football drafts. No need to be critical, Yahoo's Chat GPT Draft Grades did that for us. We share the robot-written-roasts with you!
Then it's time for a new game: Start - Bench - Cut. Mahomes, Allen, and Burrow? Johnathan Taylor, Josh Jacobs, and Saquon Barkley? The Ghost of Russell Wilson Past, Present, or Future? 
Somehow this all ends in conversation about what NFL coach we both could take in a fight. No surprise there. All this and more in S1E12 Start- Bench- Cut (Fight!).

It's still August but we are already acting like the NFL season starts this weekend. Episode 11 is alllll NFL bay-bee. David & Sharayah talk through all of the NFL Week One matchups.
We confidently share our completely biased and amateur opinions on performance expectations and game outcomes- starting with the 6 games David is most looking forward to devouring. He makes no mistakes. 
Then we cover the rest of 'em. Including the ones we could almost care nothing about. Except that it's football. So we actually care A LOT.

We're dropping F-Bombs! As in a lot of football talk! NFL Pre-season is here, folks.
But first, we're dropping F-Bombs! As in a lot of cusses! When we talk about the demise of the Pac 12 conference.
Grieve with us, then feast on our Fantasy QB picks and chit chat. 
David hits Sharayah with some NFL related nominative trivia. Find out if it's merely a flesh wound or a TKO. It's Season 1 Episode 10 of your favorite sibling-hosted-comedy-sports-podcast-recorded-remotely-in-Oregon: Backward Pass!

It's finally here! The previously promised food-related-athlete trivia! Things get a little weird. But first, we talk a little bit of... Baseball? Can you believe it? Neither could Sharayah. 
In theme with a few of our past episodes, we are pitching (pun very much intended) some MLB rule changes to Rob Manfred that might make us watch a couple more games a year. Will David introduce a rule that makes Sharayah want to join the fandom? He loves the Dodge-rs. A little too much maybe. 
After that we jump into the bizarre Food-Endorsement-Athlete Trivia, AKA F.E.A.T. Be prepared for us to lose the plot, once again folks. 
Don't worry, we definitely talk about the Wembanyama vs. Britney Spears drama, too. 
This is the Backward Pass Podcast, Season 1 Episode 9: Big Ben Beef.

Remember in Episode 1, when we said that we weren't following the NBA that closely? We need you to forget that. Just a couple of months later, and we're serving another All-NBA talk episode in a row. With the NBA draft happening last week, it was pretty much unavoidable. Listen as we both confidently dive into this one with no real plans and assess the top picks in the draft. 
Oh, wait, we do talk about golf for a minute. Mostly about whether or not David's any good.
This ones undrafted, folks.

Well folks, fair warning that this one goes off the rails before we even do a proper introduction. No worries, at around the 3-minute mark sibling co-hosts, David & Sharayah, rein it in to bring you an NBA focused episode. 
We expertly predict the end of the Finals in game 5 (well done, Denver), place another Beer Bet, and the meat and potatoes of the episode is spent with us begging Adam Silver to hire us as a part of the NBA Rule Committee to better the sport for all! Huzzah! 
Find out what rule changes we'd love to see in the NBA- both practical changes and some outlandish wishes pop up. Thanks for joining us for episode 7!

Check out David's predictions he made last week about the NBA Eastern Conference Finals that recently ended. Was he right? Was he over-confidently wrong? Does he now own his sister a beer? 
Find out all of that and more! In the main part of the episode, David & Sharayah share two different stories about Valiant Efforts made in Sports. Plus, we share our opinions on the latest NFL rule changes (unfortunately they did not hire us... fools...).
And for some reason we talk about food a lot in this one, so grab a snack.

In Episode 5 you can listen to David drink a peanut butter milkshake while we chat a little bit of NBA Playoffs, Damian Lillard and where we think he might land if Portland can't build around him this off-season. 
Then, in light of the red flags we heard about from recent NFL draft prospects, we came up with some of our own potential red flags. David talks Mayo in Coffee and the worst movie of all time. Sharayah somehow disses on Derek Carr for the second episode in a row. 
Finally, what starts as us talking about the rule changes we want to see in the NFL, turns into a job interview Commissioner Goodell's assistants (Please hire us, Roger, if there's one thing the league needs it's MORE KICKERS).

Our first in-person episode took place last Friday, part way through the 2023 NFL Draft. We discuss our favorite picks, future fantasy grabs, and a little bit of NBA Playoff drama just to mix things up. 
Fair warning: we recorded this episode in a room with no airflow on the hottest day of the year- things go a little off the rails shortly after the NBA talk. It might've been off the rails before we even hit record.

In honor of the NFL Draft next week, David & Sharayah draft their favorite Sports Films! Was the #1 overall pick wasted? Why does David like baseball movies so much? Plus, David quizzes Sharayah on funny and odd 2023 NFL draftee names.
