Fancy Boys Club NFL Mailbag Week One

Fancy Boys Club NFL Mailbag Week One

Every season, FBC Founder Matt Drufke takes time out of being a movie enthusiast, father, husband, and amateur cartographer to ask FBC Co-Founder Brandon Andreasen questions about the NFL season. Let’s look at the upcoming first week of the NFL season.

Matt: Football is back! Much like politics, all sports are local so let’s start this whole thing by talking about the Bears. The Monsters of potentially NW Indiana had a breakout season last year filled with some pretty impressive highs and a star-turning run from their quarterback. Expectations are high from Chicago fans. How good are the Bears? And do they have any chance of playing for a ring?

Brandon: There is a saying in sports called “having the year from hell.” As good/lucky/opportunistic as the Bears were last season, things have regressed towards the mean pretty heavily this year, especially on defense. Their big free agent acquisition, Coby Bryant, is out for most of the year due to injury. Their most consistent interior defensive line presence over the past couple seasons, German Dexter, was traded to Atlanta a couple weeks ago.

In honor of the the NFL playoffs, Brandon and Matt have taken time out of their various erotic fan fiction ventures to talk a little football.

Matt: I feel like we need to start in the city we both live closest to and talk about the Chicago Bears. All but left for dead, the Bears pulled off a comeback to beat Green Bay this weekend. This seems to be a team that plays its best when down in the second half. Why is that? And what do the Bears need to do in order to be winning for the whole game?

An Agnostic Football Fan Guide to the Super Bowl

So it’s that time of the year. The biggest sporting event of the season is happening and your favorite team is long since eliminated from contention. The elimination could be heartbreaking (49ers/Chiefs) or predetermined by fate (Jaguars/Lions). Thirty fan bases are left out in the rain on February 13th. And the remaining fanbases?

Bengals fans have been so embarrassed by their team over the past three decades that they didn’t really claim their own existence until a month and a half ago.

The Rams….well, they don’t have fans. I can speak to this because I was in St. Louis over the weekend, when they beat the 49ers to go to the Super Bowl. The team, who existed in the STL until just a couple years ago, do not have many fans (more on this later). The team now exists in Los Angeles, which doesn’t give a damn about them.

Over 70 million people watch the Super Bowl each year. The vast majority of those people are not fans of the Bengals or Rams. Welcome to the Agnostic Football Fan Guide to Super Bowl LVI.
