   Ep. 84 AFC Early Season Power Rankings: Bills, Chiefs, Bengals, and Who's Already Cooked

   Two weeks into the NFL season and the AFC is already serving chaos, surprises, and enough ammunition for Rodney, Martin, Tweety, and Que to go at each other's throats. Josh Allen became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw five touchdowns and rush for five more through two games, the Las Vegas Raiders are somehow 2-0 with Tweety losing his entire mind about it, and the Kansas City Chiefs are running the number one offense in the league with Eric Bieniemy back calling plays. The crew runs the buy-or-sell gauntlet on every team worth talking about, and nobody agrees on anything. The Cincinnati Bengals spark the wildest flip of the episode when Martin, who came in hating, completely changes his tune after watching Dexter Lawrence take over the defensive line every single snap. Que compares Joe Burrow to Glass Joe from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out and refuses to trust him for a full season, Rod defends his preseason list like it's sacred scripture, and the debate over whether the Chargers are truly cooked or just slow-starting gets settled faster than anyone expected.

   Ep. 83 College Football 2026: Michigan, Miami, Texas, Georgia And Alabama Buying Or Selling

   College football is back and the Hood Report crew is not holding back. Rodney, Martin, Que, and Tweety run through the biggest teams in the country using their signature buy-or-sell framework, and the takes are flying from the jump. Michigan bounced back from a shaky Week 1 against Western Michigan to handle Oklahoma on the road, and the crew breaks down whether Bryce and that defensive line can carry Big Blue to 10 or 11 wins this season. Miami's Cam Ward is putting up video game numbers, 653 yards and 8 touchdowns through two games, and the question is whether the Hurricanes are a legitimate title contender or just feasting on weak competition. Texas sits at number one after coming back from 20 down in the fourth quarter to knock off Ohio State, but Martin is not sold, and Rodney is calling it from Austin where he just relocated. The crew debates whether Lane Kiffin's $50 million payroll at LSU is cheating or genius, why Georgia gets a pass for scheduling cream puffs, and why nobody in the building believes in DeBoer's Alabama without Saban. It is the kind of unfiltered, no-agenda college football conversation your group chat has been having all week, just louder and more honest.

   Ep. 82 NFL Week 1 Highest Scoring Weekend Since 1970: Bad Game Or Bad Sign?

   The NFL just had its highest-scoring opening weekend since 1970, and the Hood Report crew has a theory that explains all of it, and it starts with coaches spending an entire preseason telling defenders to keep their hands behind their backs. Rodney, Martin, Que, and Tweety go team by team, game by game, and nobody gets a pass. When Tweety says K9 had four legs on the field and Denver still wants to call it a bad game, the debate gets loud, and it stays loud for the next hour. This is not your standard Week 1 recap, this is the conversation that happens when people who actually care about the game stop filtering themselves. The Bad Game or Bad Sign framework turns into a full-on tribunal as the crew dissects Denver, the Lions, the Cowboys, the Raiders, and the Ravens with the kind of specificity that makes you rewind and rewatch the games you missed. Martin defends his Broncos while getting outvoted three to one. Que spots red flags on Denver that Sean Payton needs to hear. And Rodney makes a Ravens call about Lamar under center and Derrick Henry going north-south that might be the sharpest offensive analysis of the whole episode. Buy or sell picks on the Bears, Bills, and 49ers close it out with predictions bold enough to screenshot and hold people accountable for all season long.
