Politics-free works for me! But snarky political humour, evenly distributed, can also work if light-handed. Dana Carvey on his pod with David Spade is perfect at this!
There will be jabs, but just jabs, and only if they make some sort of NFL sense. I listen to some podcasts that just derail over politics at the drop of a hat. I have no interest in doing that, nor in doing what some folks with similar politics to me like to do: use a player saying "I like Candidate X" to go on a diatribe about how WRONG that player is or whatever.
If it makes you feel better, I get to write about Norm Van Brocklin again soon.
There was originially a joke about how they Commanders took Bryant because Braylon was unavailable. Then I rewrote the joke and everything went haywire.
Eli = not elite. Missing the last two letters. Case closed
Not remotely close. He combined 3 things:
1. Consistently average to above avg QB play
2. Could absolutely stay on the field - a pretty good quality to have in your QB
3. Two 4-game runs where he played really well against really good competition at the right time to win 2 SBs
Eli has more Super Bowl wins than A-Rodg, the New Jersey Jets, Dan Marino, and all of Europe.
I am glad we are getting this out of our system a day early.
A rough outline to get you started!!
1. Eli
2. Eli

I wouldn’t get your hopes up Mike. Setting the over under at 60 comments on the Giants QB Top 5 article And I’m taking the over
twist, forty of those comments will be about Charlie Conerly
"Yeah, but how many SEC championships?" – Coach Three Year Letterman, probably
And Brad Johnson has more than Dan Marino. What's your point?
joke : noun
1 a: something said or done to provoke laughter
1 b(1): the humorous or ridiculous element in something
1 b(2): an instance of jesting

Folks have very, very different measurements of "evenly distributed". (also "light-handed")
Yes. It's a mine field! Mike's navigated it well so far!
I guess the autocorrect was stuck in 2008, Braylon Edwards instead of Martavis Bryant. Or you were just playing 3D chess with old receiver mentions.
The Hold Steady has always rocked Minneapolis.
I didn't have a good joke for them!
2nd quartile qbs and their teams have such a sad time together?
Never stopped you before ARFARFARFARFARFARF!!!
“Howie Roseman believes that most clubhouse turmoil can be solved through a liberal application of cash. Roseman, of course, is correct.”
Hell yeah he is. I love watching billionaire team owners lose because they won’t give their GM a blank check or because that GM fails to spend it.
How salty are 49ers fans that they didn't get to surround Purdy with Micah Parsons, Brian Bresee, and, uh, Cole Strange (George Karlaftis)?
What did I miss? I love Mike's snarky political jabs.

Not asking for politics, believe me. But your snarkiness is definitely part of the appeal.
The only elite thing about Eli was my nickname for him: Captain Pee Pants
“An issue that’s sure to not be divisive, as the All-Time Top 5 series tries to determine just how “elite” Eli Manning was! “
Not elite. Hall of Very Good. Sorry I can’t wait till Friday :)
Braylonn Edwards? You are slighting Mr Bryant.
