It's a special edition of the Next Fan Up podcast. PodVader talks with Andrew (Jets) about the deserving players for the most irrelevant game in the NFL schedule - the Pro Bowl.  Andrew works as a researcher at Bleacher Report and has a ton of access to all sorts of stats involving all the players in the game. He's also able to provide a unique perspective on quantifying offensive lineman, which is the most difficult position as an average fan to judge.  The SuperFans provided their lists of the players they'd want to see considered for their team and Pod offers up some statistical insights regarding some players as well. Do you disagree with these candidates? We're sure you do and we want to hear it!  Email nextfanup@gmail.comTweet us @nfupodcastDon't miss our Thanksgiving week previews on our website: www.nextfanup.wordpress.com or facebook.com/nfupodcastBe sure to leave us a review when you subscribe to the show on iTunes.

It's an election edition of the Next Fan Up podcast, but Pod Vader has no interest in talking about the new President of the US.  He's talking football and specifically in San Diego.  John Sahly from Pro Football Weekly joins the podcast and after they discuss the push for the fantasy playoffs in the BlogTalkRadio Fantasy Expert League, they get into a discussion as to what's next for San Diego. Voters there turned down the proposal to raise hotel taxes to fund a new stadium, but does Dean Spanos really want to leave the area?

Welcome to Week 9 of the NFL season. PodVader has a full house of SuperFans this week including Neil (Redskins), James (Eagles), Kevin (Cowboys), Andy (Dolphins), Don (Ravens) Patrick (Patriots) and Justin (Seahawks). Before diving into the previews, Pod mentions this may be the worst week of NFL football we might be privvy to watch based on the match ups. A lot of consensus in the picks. Is this parity and do we like it?  Andy has a difference of opinion.  And Neil chimes in about the state of college football in relation to the NFL.  Then instead of running the games in order, we start with the game of the week, Denver Broncos at the Oakland Raiders and it's presented with a gem of a SuperFan Battle. The other Battles this week include the Cowboys/Browns and the Eagles/Giants.  We wrap up the show with a quick conversation on the Patriots trading Jamie Collins to the Browns. Send in your thoughts on surfing, sharks, punchable faces or what have you to nextfanup@gmail.com (just like Josh has done).Tweet us @

As the International Series leaves the UK, PodVader takes a moment to look at the state of NFL in Europe with old friend, Nat Coombs, NFL presenter on the BBC.  They talk about the new stadiums, the growth of the sport compared to "soccer" and generally catch up on old times.  Pod may have guilted Nat into an appearance on his show too.  Next up, Tim (Falcons) previews the Thursday Night Football game with Pod as the Atlanta Falcons head to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers.  Can the Falcons win the NFC South this year? Which players are getting the job done for Atlanta?If you'd like to be the Bucs SuperFan (or the Titans or the Lions), email us: nextfanup@gmail.comYou can tweet us: @nfupodcastAnd check out all the written content we have at our new website: www.nextfanup.wordpress.comAnd leave us a review where you hear great podcasts (like MillersArm did on Stitcher)!

Neil (Washington) has a special guest host in Chris, our Saints superfan, while Pod has Justin (Seahawks) out on assignemnt. There is a lot of intrigue in the top 5, and some real questions about who can maintain this level of play. In addtion, we tackle (get it? football pun) the referee issues, and Cam Newton's search for protection. All that and more!  

It's a surprise drop in from the fearless leader as PodVader fills in for Justin (Seahawks) to help guide the recaps today.  Justin is on assignment.  Nick (Chiefs) and Monty (Raiders) do a great job of leading all the recaps from the Sunday games. Here's the breakdown:Eagles/Cowboys - Despite the loss, the future is bright in PhillyPackers/Falcons - A back & forth classicChargers/Broncos - Chargers remain optimisticRedskins/Bengals - How fitting to have a tie in England!Patriots/Bills - Tom Brady is greatJets/Browns - Jets should be looking to trade and build for the futureLions/Texans - Brock's storyChiefs/Colts - Tyreke Hill uptick in production thanks to Nick FolesRaiders/Buccaneers - Raiders had no business winning this gameSeahawks/Saints - The loss is squarely on SeattleCardinals/Panthers - A very frustrated Cam Newton despite the winEmail us - nextfanup@gmail.comTweet us - @nfupodcastCheck out our website: www.nextfanup.wordpress.comSubscribe and share our podcast wherever great podcasts are heard
