    Kickers

    How long have kickers been an afterthought in the game of football? A position that rarely gets drafted and never gets the top tier salary has never been a top priority of coaches and owners...well, maybe until now. Teams are now sometimes winning games without scoring a touchdown, only scoring by field goals and distances that seemed like a miracle in the past are now almost routine for some kickers in football these days. On this episode, Kent Koen and Jon Madani discuss the as important as ever role of kickers in the modern game of football.

    America's Team

    They've been called "America's Team", but are they really? It's hard to argue with the success of the Dallas Cowboys as a business being the most financially successful franchise in the NFL, and under the ownership of Jerry Jones they have blazed many new trails and set the standard that every team owner wants to emulate...but are they a successful football team? Long time and long suffering Cowboys fans Kent Koen and Jon Madani talk about where America's Team is, where they may be going and just what on earth is Jerry Jones up to.

    Rules

    After every sports season, the people in charge look back on the season and talk about what went right and what didn't go so well. This can often lead to changes in the rules. Some of those changes are fun and add new life to the sport but often as not, they just seem a bit crazy. In this episode, Kent Koen and Jon Madani talk about some recent rules changes and if they work or if anybody understands them and they give a few suggestions for possible future rule changes that will either make you go hmmm...or drive you crazy.
