  1. This was the best interview on this show. Ed O’Neil is my favorite actor nobody can play Al Bundy like he did. I didn’t know he was a professional football player. Great show

  2. I'm a lifelong Raiders fan, and as much as I hated them because of the immaculate deception and all the moments where it could have gone either way, unless it's 1976 the Raiders were not losing that year

  3. Great episode. Freshman year in college….our scout team was called "F-Troop." We kicked ass over the starters. One of the best scout team names, imo. In a 10 yard dash, no one one could beat me. As a sophomore, i was all league. Quick feet and understanding/anticipation…..wins the day. But had worst coach ever in college. Wrong peeps in wrong positions. You guys touched upon it. I appreciated that. Keep up the good work and tks for letting us all into your world.

  4. How can you be a fan of Married with Children and not know the Spare tire Dixon episode. 🤔

  5. Best thing I’ve watched since last NFL season.

    You guys really got something here.

    Man I wish we could (picture in picture) the game though while the discussions are going on.

    Very cool. Great job.

  6. The Raiders have all the best games with names. The ghost to the post, the holy roller, the Sea of hands.

  7. Jack Lambert is the best man ever. Back in the late nineties Jack was living in a town nearby to me and he lives next door to a close friend of ours that was in a wheelchair. Jack would now her lawn anytime it started to get out of hand and all he asked for was a hug and cup of tea

  8. We need a good laugh and direction for these soft men these days.

    Damn everyone else if they don’t want to be involved you can do it with just ED and call it Al .
    The world needs Bundy to look up to 🤣

    Hell I’m probably too much of Al having grown up lol

  9. Prime example that stuff thats going on tday in society gets totally magnified because of smartphones.
    If we had a ten year period now with 80 car bombings in a smaller city people would be whining about apocolyptic times and going insane.
    So that happened 60 years ago, whens the last time anyone has talked about 80 bombings in Youngstown Ohio?

  10. HAHA Julian your team could not survive in the old days of the steelers- CB could actually cover you and get physical… even as small as they were would have smoked you- too tough if the rules were as they were in the 70s- this is just bubble gum now

  11. This show left me loving both Ed and Jules more than my prior bromances! Great job to the games with names team for supporting and making the whole production so well done. Loved hearing all those great names and teams and times from my childhood long since forgotten.

  12. Julian, I do not think you should be chewing during the show. You do not realize how impressionable it is on our kids. I am actually not against chewing but I just do not think it needs to be done on video by high-profile people.

  13. Ed absolutely CRUSHED Donald Sterling in Clipped. He was the best part of the series for sure
