Steven and Jeff thank everyone who joined on the blitz project and encouraged others to do so. The guys get straight into NFL News, as they discussed QB Ben Roethlisberger dodging a bullet and Terry Bradshaw’s comments regarding the young quarterback. There is also a Good ‘Ole Boy to talk about and Steven throws Jeff under the bus again!
The guys also discuss about the possibility of WR Brandon Marshall being traded to Seattle, billionaire Stan Kroenke trying to purchase the remaining 60 percent of the Rams, the Raiders saying JaMarcus Russell will get another shot at QB, and a Brian Westbrook sighting in Green Bay.
Plus Steven and Jeff take a look at what the teams in the AFC South and AFC West will do in the upcoming draft. Steven jumps on the Texans bandwagon, but quickly changes allegiances to the Colts. Jeff likes everyone except the Raiders, and the guys talk about why they like to go easy on the Jaguars.
Also, if you are in the UK, please send an email to blitz@rarn.net if you have not done so. Thanks!
LOL
A morning show.
Hey guys,
Does the fantsay football cost any money?
Thanks for the help!!!
guys
I can’t find the show on itunes when will it be up? thanks
dont worry its up now thanks
I counted how many tangents you guys went on:
59
But overall, a good show.
Grate show guys
I still prefer the more accurate, but too lengthy show name, NFL Rants, Raves, Tangents & Digressions. Too lengthy… hmm, kind of like the show.
I find it amusing that your AFC draft show was planned as a two hour show and ended up like an four hour epic, you’ve made shows longer than you intended before but two hours longer…thats something you don’t see everyday
@Erik – Just wait for the NFC shows, I think we are going to push the 10 hour envelope, that would be 4 2.5 hour shows just on the NFC, one show per division! OK, not really.
More shows the better! You guys rock.
@ steven
Will the 10 hour trilogy have a 20 minute segment on franchise QB’s?
At that rate, you guys might have to do the week reviews 3 months later!!!
I’m a new listener for about two weeks and just wanted to say that you do a good job! Keep it coming, thanks guys!
I can truly say that you guys are the biggest and best pair of boobs I ever paid to be a fan of.
Best show of the season so far, Russell Brand would be proud of the impromtue Denver Broncos song. How on Earth are you going to cover the NFC by Thursday? Glad Jeff got to be right for a change!
Good show, though in the storm of Raider bashing you forgot to mention our main need, which is the offensive line. Our QB’s got killed last year and the RB’s had no holes to run through, we desperately need to draft a good O-Lineman. Our defense is actually decent, they would be top 10 if they weren’t on the field for 40 minutes every game. Seriously. I look forward to the next show, just to hear what bile and vitriol we hear about the Rams and their prospects (or lack of).
@Steven
But now I’ll expect an 10 hour show which means you have to double it in order to surprise me.
On a more serious note, I vaguely remember Jeff saying something about the Blitz thing included people in European countries and not just the UK, is this the case or am I just making things up?
Can the league rules be changed to allow the Raiders to draft an owner?
With the 8th pick, the Oakland Raiders select, Ed Roski to own and manage the team into a contender!
Not a bad idea there Sharon. :-)
You guys rock. I was in my car laughing so hard people were looking at me crazy. Looking forward to a great season.
Oakland signed Kyle Boller today – Al is trying to get over losing Gruden all those years ago by signing as many quarterbacks as possible.
Can I also add that Spurs played Arsenal on Wednesday night and beat them for the first time in the league in 11 years??? I almost cried with happiness and relief at the end. That youtube link is our first goal.

Does Steven know that theres no shame in 4th and cos it means spurs will be in the European Champions League next season?
Love the Spurs Tangent COYS>……… (that means come on you spurs just in case u was wondering).
Great show gentlemen! Im a steelers fan, but it definately was bash rothilsberger day
Nice show but you guys really missed the mark on the Roethlisberger situation. Legal issues aside, the outrage surrounding this incident is not that he’s a womanizer or a philanderer, but that he used physical and psychological force to coerce a woman into sex. That’s not a guy giving into temptation, that’s a bad guy.
@PatsGirl – after reading the police report, I 100% totally agree with you and I have always said that there is certainly a problem with Ben, esp. with repeated accusations.
The Texans are looking hard at Ryan Williams at 20, so the Chargers may have to move up to get a solid back in the draft.
If I have to be a minion, I want to be one of Steven’s. I don’t think I could take Jeff’s (what’s a polite way to say neuroticism?) :)
Still catching up on old(er) shows atm but just wanted to comment on what was said about Denver trading away all it’s star players. Apparently you guys seem to have forgotten a couple of people! Clady, Bailey, Dawkins?… Sure, they’re not in the spotlight as much, but they’re definitely studs at their positions, and all very happy where they are now.
Was very happy with Denver’s draft, btw, it may have been controversial and high-risk, but it’s definitely exciting for the fans and stacked with potential. Let’s be honest, if Tebow was gonna go somewhere, Denver (where he can sit behind KO + Quinn for as long as necessary and learn from one of the best QB coaches in the league) is a pretty decent fit. You can learn mechanics and the Xs and Os, but you can’t learn how to be a great guy, how to be a leader, how to be a freakish athlete, and how to be a winner.
We have an alright schedule, by the way, so I’m expecting a winning season. Bit concerned that we don’t seem to have addressed the LB position via the draft, but I assume there’s a plan, I’d like to think our HC knows roughly what he’s doing! I know the two of you are pessimistic about what’s happening in Denver, and rightly so, but as a fan I reserve the right to be an optimist. Can’t wait to see ’em in London, Block 225!
