In Much Less Detail: The Podcast

Jay took the season lead back from Dre, but neither enjoyed a glorious Week 14.  They'll check out the happenings in Glendale, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and San Diego, among others, and assess the league as we approach playoff season.  Then they make their picks for Thursday night's shockingly relevant NFC West game between Bruce Arians' Arizona Cards and Jeff Fisher's St. Louis Rams.  In the aftershow, available for iTunes subscribers (just search for In Much Less Detail: The Podcast), the guys marvel at the big baseball winter meetings splashes being made by the Cubs and White Sox.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0

While Dallas and Chicago do battle, it's an early week of picks for the boys, but that just means they have to be even more accurate.  The pressure's on.  Teams are feeling it too as we get closer to playoff time, and playoff-caliber matchups like Patriots-Chargers, Ravens-Dolphins, and Seahawks-Eagles will be broken down.  Can Dre hold on to his one-week lead over Jay?  Check out the show to see where they stand on these and all other Week 14 games.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0

Take cover, hide the women and children (especially the women):  The Johnny Football Apocalypse is upon us.  Jay and Dre look at the Browns choosing their fate in Buffalo, the Broncos again putting the Chiefs to sleep, and the Packers surviving Tom Brady and the Pats.  Then they have to choose between two Thursday night squads that have been disappointing lately, Dallas and Chicago.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0

Dre and Jay go into the weekend action tied for the second week in a row, and they've got 13 games to peel through.  Top matchups include the Patriots and Packers in Lambeau Field trying to break the scoreboard, an unlikely battle of winning teams between the Browns and Bills, and the Chiefs bidding for the AFC West lead as they host the Broncos.  The aftershow should provide memories of this past Thanksgiving, but you never know where the boys take their chats.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0

Week 12 saw the Patriots keep rolling, the Broncos keep struggling, the Cardinals finally run out of magic, and the Jeckyll-and-Hyde Bengals show their good side.  Dre and Jay take a look at those results and the others as well.  Then they check out the three Thanksgiving games and make their picks for Chicago in the Motor City, Philadelphia in Jerryworld, and Seattle in the Bay Area.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0

The boys try to rebound over simultaneous 5-9 clunkers and examine the Browns visiting the first-place (blech) Falcons, Detroit's second straight tough road battle at Foxborough, Arizona facing another stiff test in Seattle, and Lovie Smith's triumphant (blech) return to Chicago.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0

The time for silly results has arrived in the NFL!  Jay and Dre chat about ridiculous losses by heavy favorites New Orleans, Washington, and Denver, as well as an impressive showing by the Pats in Indianapolis and a win for the 4-6 1st-place Falcons.  Then they discuss the Thursday AFC West game between the red-hot Chiefs and the winless Raiders in the Black Hole.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0

The boys look at a Week 11 schedule with compelling matchups Seattle visiting Arrowhead Stadium, the Lions at Drew Stanton and the Cardinals, Mark Sanchez and Philadelphia in Green Bay, and the Patriots and Colts in a pinball shootout.  In the aftershow, they discuss deer crossings and housing values.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0

It's time for the boys to anoint the first FedEx Mail-It-In team of 2014!  Of the teams that seemed to quit on the season, which quit hardest--Jacksonville, who got routed by a crippled QB, the New York Giants, who gave up the most rushing yards by the franchise since 1978, Oakland, which refuses to win a game, or Chicago, who got blitzed by Green Bay on prime time in a truly all-time embarrassing fashion?  Jay and Dre examine the action from Week 10, then they make their picks for the Thursday nighter between 5-4 AFC East foes Buffalo and Miami.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0

Jay and Dre get you set with their ATS picks for Week 10, which include two hot clubs squaring off as Miami visits Detroit, another installment of the Bears-Packers series, and a battle between San Francisco and New Orleans where only one team can leave above .500.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0

The guys try to figure out why San Francisco can't beat St. Louis at home, how the hell Total Fraud performed so well for Philadephia, what happened to the formerly potent Chargers, and whether Arizona and New England are legitimate title contenders befitting of their conference-best records.  Then they pick the Thursday night AFC North Battle of Ohio between Brian Hoyer's Browns and Andy Dalton's Bengals.  In the aftershow, Dre wonders why he can't just buy a cell phone that doesn't crash every time he opens the web browser.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0

Jay and Dre host a ghoulish episode of the show!  They check out the week's most haunted matchups, including the Redskins traveling to Minneapolis and the Bucs visiting the Dawg Pound.  Oh, and they'll get around to that Manning-Brady game later, too.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0

The boys welcome an old classmate who now resides in Washington, Tim the DC Correspondent.  Tim shares his thoughts coming off the Redskins big win in Dallas--does this turn around the season or is it just a blip?  Jay & Dre reflect on the other Week 8 action.  Then the boys look at the Thursday night NFC South game between New Orleans and Carolina.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0

Football literally from sunup to sundown.  It's Roger Goodell's wet dream cum true.  Jay and Dre pick games for Sunday--which sees the Lions and Falcons get it on from London in the morning through the Saints hosting the Pack that night--and the Monday night contest between Colt McCoy's Redskins and the 6-1 red-hot Cowboys.  In the aftershow, Dre has thoughts about the wrestler Sting and how we remember our childhood heroes.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0

Another split week for the boys, and another series of wild events to arrive there.  Jay and Dre discuss the Cowboys rolling along, the Seahawks continuing to struggle, the Bears teamwide meltdown, and how the hell did the Steelers reverse course and score all those points against the Texans at the end of the 1st half??  They pick against the spread for the Thursday AFC West showdown featuring San Diego and Denver.  For the aftershow, Dre digests the concept of bone marrow as a food dish.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0

The guys try to build on two straight weeks over .500.  Week 7's key matchups include Cincy and Indy in a clash of defending division champs, New Orleans trying to jumpstart their season in the Motor City, and the 49ers and Broncos in a big Mile High clash.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0

The Broncos got a late Pick-6 to cover the number for Dre!  The Cards got the same to win the pick for Jay!  The Falcons lost at home, the Browns got a very rare win over Pittsburgh, and Dallas went to Seattle and won.  Wait...they did what?!  Oh, and the highest-scoring tie in league history.  The boys go over a bonkers Week 6, then they ponder whether Gang Green has a chance on Thursday night against the resurgent New England Pats.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0

Jay and Dre try to build on their 10-4 Week 5 by picking Carolina visiting a potentially angry Bengals team, Dallas getting their stiffest test in the Pacific Northwest, and the Patriots proving their beating of Cincinnati was not a fluke or faltering in a tough division battle in Buffalo.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0

Jay and Dre look back on a fun Week 5 in the NFL, including Dallas taking the Battle of Texas, the undefeated Cards and Bengals going down, and the champs prevailing in the nation's capital.  Then they choose sides in the Thursday night AFC South showdown between Andrew Luck's Indy squad and J.J. Watt's Houston group.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0

The boys examine Week 5 in the league, which sees the Racial Slurs hosting the champs on Monday night, the Patriots hosting the undefeated Cincinnati juggernaut, and the war for the state of Texas as well as the right to go 4-1 between Houston and Dallas.   Theme music credit:  "I Dunno" by Grapes     grapes / CC BY 3.0
