Orrl or Nothing, this podcast is Vrentassential listening

I only discovered this podcast in the last couple of months before it’s now wrapping and Jenny and Conor move over to MMQB full time, but I loved their humour, humility and analysis.

Far from the toxicity of some NFL shows, these two have a genuine friendship and self-reflection behind their football takes. They are so genuinely gentle, self-deprecating and kind that the podcast feels like checking in with your friends who happen to be talking football.

After the NFL family lost Chris Wesseling this was just the podcast I needed, thank you.

Best of luck to you both!

Great ornithological knowledge

I saw a snowy owl fly over Yankee stadium when I visited and enjoyed bird watching in Central Park. I also lived in MD for 6 months so became a Ravens fan... so much kudos from this British fan to these amazing Americans for their NFL ornithological podcast

It’s great!

I’ve been listening to Conor & Jenny since their MMQB days and really enjoy the fact they aren’t you standard podcast bozos. They have nuanced discussions about real world issues that stretch beyond football, and aren’t afraid to say when they get something wrong.

I’m just hoping that “Orr you kidding me?” wasn’t trademarked by Hanzus corp and that it might one day return and find a new home.

Maybe a Vrentas consensus on that??

Love it, hope to listen for many years to come.

Friendly, Funny and Genuinely Insightful

A wonderful podcast for anyone who likes the NFL - Connor and Jenny end up feeling like personal friends with whom you share your own in-jokes. With genuinely insightful and unpretentious analysis and none of the macho point-scoring and boorish banter that so often derails a good sports pod, and you get this: a warm hug of a program that I listen to every Tuesday almost as soon as it comes out.

Also: massive props for progressive views when discussing some of the less savoury aspects of the game. There’s never any shying away from issues around domestic violence and race, and the response to these is always thoughtful and compassionate .

My favourite podcast - don’t miss it.

COVID Consensus form the UK

Really enjoy the weakside podcast; the humour, the analysis, and quirks.

I don’t have an Orrrrrrrrrracle but I do have a Vrentas Consensus that I’m interested in your feedback on. The NFL should get punitive when it comes to sideline COVID protocols and each time a team breaks one, the most senior coach on the sidelines (or in the box) gets ejected from the game. Not only will this enforce 100% compliance from all teams but can you imagine the beautiful chaos in that first week when teams don’t take it seriously and we end up with quality control coaches running games and calling plays! Or the players...

I’d also love to see Bill Belichick’s reaction when some junior assistant coach gets him booted from the sideline, just for having their mask below the nose 😂

The only “don’t miss” NFL show

Connor and Jenny always have great takes on the NFL, light-hearted and warm but not afraid to discuss any of the serious and important topics that some hosts might want to skip over or avoid.

If you care about football and the news surrounding it, it’s the best of staying up to speed with what’s going on.

The best got better

This is without doubt one of the best podcasts on the NFL circuit. No trashy talk radio hot takes here. Just great intelligent talking points with good humour along the way.

Pleased to see this separate from Albert Breers podcast, which used to be great but now has dissolved into trash with the addition of shouting and lack of intelligence through Gresh. Long may the Weak-Side resist such poor choices.

Smart Witty and irreverent

Smart witty and irreverent take on the NFL. And no Hot Takes.

Just what you need in the middle of the week.
