The only NFL Draft postmortem that matters
The Split Zone Duo crew discusses the results of the NFL Draft through both a college football and “being mean to Steven Godfrey” lens. Georgia’s player development, Washington’s offensive line, Oregon’s way of helping Bo Nix, whether Nick Saban actually admitted to a tampering violation on live TV, and much more. But yes, it all leads to a therapy session in which Godfrey comes to grips with the Falcons’ selection of Michael Penix Jr. Production: Anthony Vito.

A coaching search where nobody got spurned, everyone got paid, and all parties wound up exactly where they wanted to be all along? How nice. That’s the semi-official account—from ESPN and many of the people most closely involved—of what happened at Alabama. Alex, Richard, and Godfrey discuss how media, agents, and administrators collaborated to pitch a sunny description of one of the biggest college football coaching hunts in years—and how it fits into the usual way of doing business in this industry.

How do we keep eyeballs on a sport with so many teams at so many different levels? In the spirit of transparency and it being April, let’s talk about how to process a sport with a million things happening at once. These are our tips from years of covering the sport professionally, but they aren’t just for media members. We hope they can help anyone get more out of CFB.
