#32 - No Spleen Zone: Gerald McCoy vs Ndamukong Suh, Big Ben vs Antonio Brown, & Eli Manning vs Daniel Jones

Author: Chris Simms May 21, 2019 Duration: 58:29
For the first time ever, we venture into the No Spleen Zone, where Chris & Ahmed call BS on some of the NFL's biggest storylines. But first they get into some of the latest news. After getting cut by the Buccaneers, where does Gerald McCoy land next (7:39)? Is McCoy a better free agent than Ndamukong Suh (11:53)? What do we make of Ezekiel Elliott being handcuffed at a concert (16:05)? Should Peyton Manning want to be the Jets GM (21:13)? Chris dials up his BS meter on narratives like: Adam Gase made a power play in New YorK (25:00), a PED suspension doesn't hurt Patrick Peterson's character (31:00), Big Ben is "sorry" for calling out Antonio Brown last season (39:45), and Daniel Jones could start over Eli Manning in Week 1 (48:06).

For anyone who craves football analysis without the corporate polish, Chris Simms Unbuttoned delivers. This podcast is Chris Simms in his element, offering a perspective forged from his unique journey as a former NFL quarterback and his current role as a broadcaster. The conversation here is loose, direct, and driven by a deep technical understanding of the game. Listeners will hear detailed film breakdowns that explain the 'why' behind plays and schemes, going far beyond basic highlights. Simms leverages his relationships to bring candid player interviews and insider stories that reveal the sport's human side. Expect unfiltered opinions on weekly performances, roster moves, and league trends, all delivered with the energy of a post-game film session among colleagues. It’s a blend of hardcore X’s and O’s education and the colorful anecdotes that come from a life spent entirely in football.
