The Goal Post is back to recap the start of the CFL Season!

Damien and Patrick start off the show talking about just how high the talent level is in the CFL - especially at the receiver position currently - before breaking down each game from Week 1. The Roughriders look like a fine-tuned machine, the Alouettes had an impressive first-showing while the Argos struggled, while the Stampeders came out firing, as did the Lions.

The Boys then move to a new segment - The Goal Post 3 Stars of the Week - to highlight the three best performances of the week, along with some honourable mentions. Next, they re-shuffle the CFL power rankings to take into account Week 1 wins and losses, before moving to Week 2.

They quickly preview each game on the Week 2 slate, including moving lines and quick thoughts, before giving out their Week 2 picks - The Podcast is 2-2 after the opening week.

Damien and Patrick start off the show by catching up about summer weather, the CFL season being around the corner, and a new rule coming to the league.

The Boys then move to through the East and West Division with a preview of every team in the CFL - Key additions and subtractions, new coaching shuffles, and an overall outlook going into the 2025 season. The Alouettes might’ve gotten worse, the Argos got raided again, the Elks and Stampeders made some HUGE changes, and things generally look up for grabs in both divisions.

To finish, the boys get to the bottom of the first edition of their CFL Power Rankings - which is sure to ruffle some fans’ feathers, before ending the show with Week 1 betting picks and a few futures to place before the season starts.

CFL Season Preview

The Goal Post is back after Super Bowl LIX to recap everything that happened!

Damien and Patrick start off the show by discussing the initial shock value of the Eagles’ win — and are mad at themselves for not seeing it coming. They get into just how dominant Philadelphia played, and just how bad Kansas City performed.

After going through the game recap and some turning points, the boys single out some legacies and stories from individual players and coaches after the Eagles win - Sirianni is cemented as an all-time Eagles’ coach, Saquon Barkley gets his storybook ending, and Mehki Becton has a comeback story for the ages.

To finish is the culmination of the Goal Post Playoff Picks battle - Damien went 3-2, while Patrick went 4-1 to become the Playoff Picks champion! Both ended up over .500 for their playoff picks.

After a long season of covering the NFL week-in and week-out, the Boys will be taking a short break from Weekly episodes - coming back to update on NFL Free Agency and the NFL draft when the time comes. Thanks to all the listeners for the support!

Next, the Boys get into an in-depth game preview comparing both offences and defences, the keys for each team to win, and the biggest X-Factors in the big game. This is followed by both Damien and Patrick each giving one bold prediction for the game, as well as a final score prediction.

To finish is the culmination of the Goal Post Playoff Picks battle - Damien and Patrick give out five picks each for the Super Bowl, including loads of player props: Tied at 3-3, the Super Bowl will settle who becomes the Playoff Picks champion (including a coin-toss bet as an ultimate tie-breaker).

Super Bowl LIX Special 

The Goal Post is back after the Championship Round in the NFL

Damien and Patrick start off the show by lamenting what the Pro Bowl has become before jumping into both the AFC and NFC Championship games. They go through what went wrong for the Bills and what the Chiefs did right, along with major coaching decisions on either side - they finish by reflecting on just how impressive this Chiefs run is, and the general lack of parity in the Super Bowl over the last 6-7 years.

The Boys then move to the NFC Championship - a game that was dominated on the ground and through turnovers. They reflect on the great season that Washington had, but came away most impressed by how polished the Eagles look.

To finish, the boys give their early thoughts on the Super Bowl matchup and initial reads on the game - which includes an interesting discussion about the limited amount of hosting sites for the big game. They also outline their game plan for settling the Goal Post Playoff Picks - Both Damien and Patrick sit at 3-3 after 3 rounds of playoff football, and will settle the score with a props competition in the Super Bowl.

NFL Championship Sunday Recap

The Goal Post is back after a huge weekend of both College and NFL Football:

Damien and Patrick start off the show by recapping a massive Monday Night for the Ohio State Buckeyes, winning the National Championship. Patrick is officially a National Champion. They recap the legacy and resume of OSU’s season, where Ryan Day stands now, and go through a full game recap - which ends in some choice words from Patrick to Michigan and their fans.

The Boys then quickly recap the Divisional Round games — the questionable refereeing in the Texans/Chiefs game, the Commanders Cinderella story, the snowy Rams vs Eagles game, and the Bills huge win over the Ravens.

To finish, the boys break down both the NFC Championship and the AFC Championship: Washington is in for a bit of a mismatch against Philly, but they don’t count Jayden Daniels and the Commanders out of this game, while the Bills’ Super Bowl hopes rest solely on Josh Allen’s shoulders. They finish with another edition of The Goal Post Playoff Picks!

The Boys then preview each of the Divisional Round games: Houston is in tough against Kansas City, the Commanders vs Lions game is going to be hectic, the Eagles are a matchup nightmare for the Rams, and Bills vs Ravens is the best matchup of the season so far. They finish by each giving out two more picks in the Goal Post Playoff Picks Battle.

They both think the Texans are being overlooked, the Eagles are primed to squash the Packers, and that the Steelers are in incredibly tough against the Ravens.

The Boys then recap the season-totals for their ‘Goal Post Picks’, which Damien won handedly! He gets the regular season crown, and they reset the board and give two picks each for the Wildcard Round.
