You Gotta Keep Your Composure: NFL & College Football Overreactions | Far End of the Bench Podcast Ep. 247
🏈 You Gotta Keep Your Composure: Football Overreactions | FEOTB Ep. 247
Jimmy’s Take
Benchwarmers, it’s Jimmy Pallotto here—and I’m fired up. Week 2 of the NFL and the second full Saturday of college football gave us everything: wild comebacks, ridiculous stat lines, and enough knee-jerk hot takes to melt the timeline. Everyone’s screaming about who’s a contender and who’s cooked, but let’s slow the roll and keep our composure.
NFL Overreactions I’m Loving (and Laughing At)
-
Broncos Country “We’re Back!” – One win and the Mile High is already booking playoff tickets. Love the energy, but let’s see another week before we start the parade.
-
Bengals Panic Button – My Bengals drop a heartbreaker and suddenly Joe Burrow’s “washed”? Relax. September football is a marathon, not a sprint.
-
Surprise 2-0 Squads – Every year a team we wrote off in August comes out swinging. Which one’s for real? We break it down.
College Football Chaos
From SEC upsets to the Pac-12 (RIP) flexing one last time, the playoff picture is already a mess—and I’m here for it. Niko and I hit the big storylines, the sneaky contenders, and the fanbases who need to chill before the calendar even hits October.
