http://www.searchqb.com/noname A weekly podcast covering the NFL, college football, and high school recruiting Tue, 11 Mar 2008 00:10:45 -0400 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 1440 RSSeditor v0.9.54 (http://www.rss-info.com) http://www.searchqb.com/noname/fanfactor-week27.mp3 FanFactor Summary: This week's beer is Miller High Life. Will the AAFL ever see a game played? We have some information on the unraveling of the latest attempt at a new professional football league. We then bring you up to speed with tons of NFL news- all the latest regarding free agency, trades, and those swirling rumors. Will Aaron Rogers be the next starter in Green Bay, or could it be someone unexpected like Brady Quinn perhaps? And what is going on in the Oakland Raiders' front office? First 50 million to Tommy Kelly and then a huge payday for, um, Javon Walker? These are just a few of the subjects we tackle (pun intended) in this week's show.

This week we have a special Free Agency show, an entire program devoted to the latest free agency news and rumors from around the NFL. We talk about the newest members of the Philadelphia Eagles- Asante Samuel and Chris Clemons. We go over some other big pickups and trades like Donte Stallworth to Cleveland and Jonathan Vilma to New Orleans, and we also discuss where top talent like Randy Moss could end up. If you want to catch up on all the latest in free agency, don't miss this special program.

We tried to get Bill Parcells on the show- as you can hear in our phone call with him, he-well, he just didn't want to join us. So instead of getting some inside info on the Dolphins, we get to hear picks 11 through 15 of Jason's mock draft. We also get a 2009 college football recruiting update from Joe (that's right, 2009). Then we talk about some of the latest news and rumors circulating around the NFL regarding free agency. Could Larry Fitzgerald soon be an Eagle? Will Rex Grossman be wearing a different uniform next year? We'll shake the magic eight ball and let you know what it says. Oh, and as you may know, the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis is going on right now, so the program concludes with some of the latest about that.

There won't be another football game (unless you count the AAFL) until July, but fret not our football friends, here at FanFactor the season never ends. In fact, depending on how you look at it, this could be the most exciting time of the year- we've got the scouting combine right around the corner, we've got free agency ahead, and of course the New England spygate controversy seems to grow with every passing day. This week we take a look at some of the comments Senator Arlen Specter made about spygate after his meeting with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, we get a Pro Bowl recap from Joe, and then we finish by critiquing the first 16 picks of CBS Sportline writer Pete Prisco's most recent mock draft.

]]> http://www.searchqb.com/noname/fanfactor-week23.mp3 FanFactor Summary: This week we've got a special 50-minute show, packed with review and analysis of college football signing day. This week's beer is Sam Adams Cherry Wheat Ale. The football season is officially over (unless you count the Pro Bowl). We share our thoughts on the Super Bowl and reflect on the seasons of the NY Giants and New England Patriots. Then we hear picks 7-10 of Jason's mock draft. Who will the Patriots take with their #7 overall pick? You'll have to listen to find out. Following the mock draft Joe leads a special signing day segment, giving you insight and analysis on the top movers and shakers from college football's biggest recruiting day of the year. Joe also goes through the rankings from ESPN, Scout, and Rivals to see which teams finished high, and which teams made the most signing day gains.

]]> http://www.searchqb.com/noname/fanfactor-week22.mp3 FanFactor Summary: This week's beer is Foster's. The Super Bowl is only a few days away and even if you think you've read and heard enough analysis already, you won't want to miss this show because we go over some important keys to this game that will decide the outcome, and also talk about what the Giants must do if they want to have a shot to win. Then we get to hear picks 4, 5, and 6 of Jason's mock draft (will Darren McFadden or Glenn Dorsey finally get drafted?) along with Joe's high school/college recruiting segment. Next week there will be no football games on the horizon to talk about, but that's okay because Joe leads a special signing day episode where we give you the rundown on all the big commitments made February 6th. Oh, and we'll have picks 7-10 of Jason's mock draft too!

]]> http://www.searchqb.com/noname/fanfactor-week21.mp3 FanFactor Summary: This week's beer is Leinenkugel's Honey Weiss. This Sunday marks the first Sunday without football since July. But don't worry, we've still got a lot to talk about. We begin with a recap of the AFC and NFC championship games, and then Joe introduces a new weekly segment about college recruiting. This week he talks about Florida and Miami's recruiting classes and also gives some updates on where top unsigned recruits like Terrell Pryor and Julio Jones may be headed. Then Jason moves things over to the NFL where he reveals the first three picks in his brand spankin' new mock draft and explains his reasoning behind them. These two features will continue next week, and we will also have a special Super Bowl preview in our next show.

]]> http://www.searchqb.com/noname/fanfactor-week20.mp3 FanFactor Summary: This week's beer is New Castle. On this fine January afternoon we wrap up last weekend's divisional round playoff action and then preview Sunday's league championship games. The NY Giants head to Green Bay where the last Manning standing will try and stay on his feet while the San Diego Chargers are off to Foxboro to see how good those Patriots really are. We'll share our thoughts on those games and then its back to college football for a moment- the college season may be over, but the draft is not far away, so we give a rundown on Kentucky QB Andre Woodson and what NFL teams can expect from him, as well as where he can expect to be drafted. We close the show with our prediction segment, where we'll tell you who the top five fantasy quarterbacks will be going into the 2008 season. Um, yes, Tom Brady is number one.

]]> http://www.searchqb.com/noname/fanfactor-week19.mp3 FanFactor Summary: This week's beer is Monty Python's Holy Grail Ale. We open with a look at the coaching situation in Indianapolis, could Tony Dungy be leaving soon? We also talk about Ryan Mallett's decision to leave Michigan and what it could mean for Terrelle Pryor, the top unsigned QB recruit in the nation. With the divisional round of the NFL playoffs coming up, we preview some of the big games and offer some bold predictions, like (prepare to be shocked in 3...2...1...) our picking the Patriots to beat the Jaguars at home. We also recap the wild card games and close out the program with our prediction segment, where we tell you who will be number one in college football after week one of the 2008 season (sorry June, it ain't SMU). Oh, and if you're wondering whether the Chargers have a chance in Indy without Antonio Gates, you'll really want to listen this week.
