About this listen

Sideline Shenanigans brings the chaos, confidence, and questionable wisdom of two middle school coaches straight to the NFL. From our middle school sidelines to Sunday showdowns, we break down the league with real football knowledge, playful arguments, and no shortage of strong opinions. Each episode kicks off with a state of the union on Cole's Patriots and Emma's Chiefs, we dive into the biggest headlines and hottest (sometimes controversial) takes around the NFL, and wrap with Bets of the Weekend—where bragging rights are always on the line. Smart football, dumb jokes, and sideline-level passion.

    Episode 7: Superbowl Post-Mortem, Sam Darnold, Look Ahead Lines, & Fernando Mendoza
    Feb 15 2026

    Seahawks BLOWOUT the Patriots in the Superbowl. What to do with Patriots moving forward, what's the to-do list? Did Pats overachieve, did they get exposed?! Patriots O-Line is a mess, but how do we project their two rookies next year?

    We discuss what to do with Sam Darnold now that he has a ring. Is he a top 10, top 5 Quarterback? Is he the BEST quarterback in the NFC?!

    Looking at next years odds we talk about Vegas's love for Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, and how the Seahawks should be the favorite.

    Lastly, we end with a little *coache's* scouting report on Fernando Mendoza, projected #1 overall pick in this year's NFL Draft.
