100 Yards Away Podcast (NFL‪)‬ Jonathon Fernandes

Yes, after a long wait the NFL finally has released the 2020 schedules and I am so excited. As always the NFL does a great job of scheduling the best matchups on paper with plenty of hype into the primetime slots, although there could have been several changes to include more primetime games for a team with an abundance of talent *cough* Colts *cough* and less for a team lacking in star power *cough* Patriots *cough* but nonetheless the schedule is intriguing to observe through and hopefully circumstances outside of football do not derail any hopes of the NFL season beginning Thursday, September 10th and beyond.

In this episode I speak about the details on the embarrassing incident of Baltimore Ravens safety, Earl Thomas III and the unfortunate, terrible incident involving former Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker, Telvin Smith. As both cases have yet to involve a court appearance at this point I can only explain the details leading up to each event, but when more details come out I will elaborate more on each situation. Two of golfs greatest players each teaming up two of the greatest quarterbacks of all time for a great cause of raising at least 10 million dollars for COVID-19 relief efforts. 

In this episode I speak on the exciting and disappointing players selected in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Brett Favre give his take on the deja vu surrounding GB and how it compares to the very similar situation he dealt with in 2005.  Andy Dalton to the Cowboys. The NFL FINALLY plans on releasing the 2020 schedule and the light it will bring for all the NFL in knowing exactly when all 32 teams will be playing. I speak briefly about some of the matchups I'm most intrigued about. One of the legends of coaching, regardless of any sport at any level, Don Shula made his way to heaven. RIP coach.

First off I'd like to thank CJ McCollum, Jordan Schultz, and the producer(s) very much who gave me the opportunity to be a part of their most previous podcast episode. I spoke about my thoughts on the Indianapolis Colts and their draft picks. There were several other NFL fans who also spoke about their respective favorite NFL teams. Overall, I enjoyed every minute I was apart of this experience. We also spoke about everyones preferred beverage at the very end. During the conversation I had a tiny mishap which was a tad bit embarrassing, but it's all good LOL. UNEDITED!

In this episode I speak about 8 AFC teams and what their draft selections mean going forward for the franchise. Despite the fact they have been inferior to the NFC the past decade, the AFC in my logical opinion, led by drafting the top 3 quarterbacks in the draft, elevated themselves towards success more than the NFC post draft. Outside of bias and politics I love what some of these AFC teams did for their franchises and are loaded with amazing young talent ready to elevate their respective teams to new and/or even better heights. I hope you will enjoy it!

In this episode I speak about 6 NFC teams who I felt either took a unique approach in their selections in the draft or who I felt lifted themselves closer to having a successful 2020 season. I did not completely agree with all their decisions, but only time and play on the field will tell who ultimately won the draft in their respective rights.
