BroStorm Sports, Episode 14: Damar Hamlin, NFL playoff picks, Joe Burrow's window and a lame CFP finale
In this Episode of BroStorm Sports we discuss the positive news we've received about Damar Hamlin a week after he was injured on the field, the NFLs reaction & playoff scenarios, we make best bets for the all of this weekends playoff games and pick the entire post-season, and discuss a stinker of a College Football playoff Finale.
We start off this episode by talking about Damar Hamlin, the scary situation from last Monday night, and the NFL's reaction to it:
- The situation on field was the scariest thing we have all witnessed, exacerbated by the reaction of the players, and the uncertainty of Damar Hamlin's well-being.
- All things considered, it seemed like all involved - the NFL, Bills, Bengals, medical staff, fans - did the best they could with a really difficult situation.
- Amazing that we have received such positive news on Hamlin's health progress
- The NFL should be commended for the medical personnel that was on site and ready to act at a moment's notice, probably saving Hamlin's life.
- No perfect solution to what to do about the playoff picture, but feels like they got it mostly right (Benglas might have caught a bit of a raw deal.
With the playoff picture set, we spend some time discussing the playoff picture and picks for this weekend:
- Miraculously, Intern P came away with the regular seasons picks championship after Sasha went 0-2 this week. Congrats to you Intern P
- We all made our picks for all playoff games - Sasha is picking the Chiefs to meet the Eagles in the Super Bowl, Intern P is picking the Niners & Bengals, and Scott is Picking the Chiefs & Niners.
- For this weeks games, Piercen is picking the Chargers to cover against the Jaguars, and the Niners to cover against the Seahawks.
- Sasha is picking both Buffalo and Cincinatti to cover big spreads
- Scott is taking the Bucs as underdogs at home, and the Vikings to cover against the giants.
Finally, we talk about the College Football Playoff Finale between George and TCU
- The game was a complete dud, and to be honest this is the problem with college Football - it's too predicatable, and the same teams (i.e. SEC) win every year.
- Not a great look for the Big 12
- Kind of a shame that the Championship ended up this way given how high quality the semi-finals were.
- Will Stetson Bennett get a chance to play in the NFL? Who knows, he's about as tall as Brock Purdy (and Intern P)
