First recording. We made a few; however, this was just a first time run. Next time we will for sure have the ability for people to call in, and for sure will let people know a time in advance of what times to call in for each topic.

Mooche, Erik, and I hope that you all enjoy this and we look forward to the next episode.

Thank you,
SI NFL Podcast team.

I listened to some of it. Mooche needs to work on not using so many crutch words. He literally said "um" or "ah" at least 23 times in 5 minutes. My only other issue is how awkward and scripted the show sounds. Chillax a little, play it casual, and yes, find a way to get callers. Chill out on the stat-overload Blake. When you spit that many stats in such a short time, its easy for a listener to stop paying attention.

My question is how will this podcast going to advertise the site?

 

[Blake]

Do you mean how is it?

We had certain topics that we chose to talk about. We'll do somethings different next episode.

i compare russel to david carr. the fact that carr getting sacked so many times just killed his developement and russell might have had a chance had he not gone to the raiders, like carr might have had a chance had he not been thrown into starting for the texans ans take record amounts of sacks

Hah, sorry boys about the umm thing. We didn't really have a well organized start, we will be definitely fixing that next time around. As well guys, we will be posting all the info and that good stuff at a later date, but if you would like to call in it is a Pittsburgh number, so make sure you have Nationwide calling I guess. Hopefully you guys liked it though!

The crutch-word thing is extremely common. I used to have the same problem when I first became an instructor. Look in the mirror and say "um" and "ah" over and over again. Say it a ridiculous amount of times....you'll be sick of saying both in no time. That helps, trust me.

As far as the show format:

Get together on the topics you want to make sure you hit but try and keep the discussion as opinion-driven as possible. When I did the SI Radio thing, I found that keeping points of argument 60% or more stat-driven is not only boring for most but doesn't leave much controversy. Remember how big of a role controversy plays in today's media. At the same time, differences in opinion is what will trigger listeners to want to interact directly with the show.

Find a way to make it happen and I will be more than happy to call in, regardless of the number. The SI Community supported SI Radio while I was doing it and I will do the same for everyone else here.

 

[Mooche]

I appreciate all the feedback AE. Really do. Thanks a lot, I look forward to hearing from you in one of the next shows.

I was driving, next time I'll be sure to be in a location without wind.

Glad everyone likes this.

I listened to the podcast, I thought it was very good considering it was both your first time working together. Hope to listen to more of your NFL podcasts. And I agree with what AE said about spicing it up with differences of opinion that are out there. Great job once again.

 

[Blake]

Thanks, FPS

Suggestion for next show...tie in the Lebron fiasco by exploring similar situations. You know Favre is questionably the first name to come up...but what else?

 

[Blake]

We can attempt that, but I'm going to bring up the Walter quote the entire time.

[Blake]

Blaze on SI.

He doesn't post much, he's worked at the Tampa Tribune for three years as an NFL agate person.

Erik knows his <Censored>.
