NFL Absurdity, Andy Reid Speak, and the Browns Doing Browns Things
From Pro Bowl nonsense to Hall of Fame chaos and Chiefs press conferences that say nothing at all
This episode of That Football Show is a masterclass in controlled chaos, as Tucker Franklin and Matt Verderame unpack one of the strangest “quiet weeks” the NFL has produced in years.
What should’ve been a dead zone between championship weekend and the Super Bowl turns into a whirlwind of Pro Bowl absurdity, Hall of Fame controversy, and yet another self-inflicted Browns meltdown.
The conversation starts with the Pro Bowl—why it’s completely broken, how alternates have turned the honor into a punchline, and why naming a roster might be the only solution left. From there, the Browns take center stage, delivering an all-time coaching search disaster that somehow ends with Jim Schwartz on the outside looking in and Todd Monken at the helm.
The hosts don’t just react—they trace the dysfunction back to ownership decisions that feel painfully familiar.
Then it’s on to the Hall of Fame, where Bill Belichick’s exclusion sparks outrage, leaked votes, and a scapegoating that exposes how flawed the entire process has become. Tucker’s firsthand reporting adds context to a narrative that spiraled nationally.
The episode wraps with Chiefs talk—Andy Reid’s famously opaque press conference, Eric Bieniemy’s return, and what really changed behind the scenes.
Smart, sarcastic, and brutally honest, this is the kind of NFL conversation you won’t get from a highlight show.
