Reporting As EligibleReporting as Eligible - Recklessly Optimistic, The Podcast
On this episode of Reporting as Eligible, the gang is recklessly optimistic because over the last several games, we seem to have become a legit good team. The offense sparkled against the Lions on Thanksgiving as Jordan Love hit every receiver in every conceivable part of the field, turning in his best game as a professional, and turning heads across the league.
Love was bolstered by a bounceback from Christian Watson, and continued excellence from Jayden Reed, and on the defensive side, from Rashan Gary. But can they keep this up against the outstanding Kansas C...2023-11-291h 23Milwaukee's Tailgate Brewers PodcastEXPLICIT | Craig Counsell Emergency PodcastThere are F-bombs.

Darrius Shepherd is gone, Tavon Austin is here, and Doug Pederson’s Eagles are the next trash fire on deck.
Paul also goes into extreme detail on all of the quarterbacks the Bears could have selected over the years. It’s not just Watson and Mahomes!

They also go over how Tyler Ervin should have created a touchdown, the struggling tight ends, why it's good that we haven't heard Kevin King's name more, and why Chandon Sullivan's interception was as much of a terrible call by the Lions as it was greatness by Chandon.
