NFL 2024 Post-Midseason, 4 Contenders and 4 Pretenders (Sports)

By

            The NFL season has passed its midway point and you know what that means we are past the hopefully faze the real phonies are out aka the jets and the contender field has gotten smaller. While the world wonders who might be Super Bowl bound it feels like it might still be up in the air. Yet still there are a few fakes and some sneaky contenders out there. So let’s jump into 4 contenders and 4 pretenders. 

Contender #1 Chiefs 

    As much as I want the Chiefs to lose, they just keep winning. From a young age I was taught to be the champ until proven otherwise. So I’ll follow my teachings on this one.


Pretender #1 Commanders 

    I don’t mean to be a downer but rookie QBs, even great ones, don't typically make it all that far in the playoffs. For the first time in a longtime the future is bright in Washington I just don’t think this year screams Super Bowl for the nation’s capital 


Contender #2 Bills 

    This might be the least flashy iteration of the Bills since the Josh Allen era started and that might be exactly what Sean McDermott is comfortable coaching.


Pretender #2 Falcons 

    The Falcons have all the talent in the world and solid QB play finally from Cousins but they just scream upset in the wild card. If you don’t agree, watch that game against Seattle. Yikes. 


Contender #3 Lions

    The entire roster is stacked and even when Jared Goff throws FIVE picks they win. It’s officially time to say that if the Lions don’t make the Super Bowl this season is a waste.


Pretender #3 Vikings 

    I have loved the Sam Darnold renaissance even as it’s slowed a bit but this team just feels like the Case Keemun team that got absolutely bitch slapped by Philly in the NFC championship. Sorry Minnesota that’s about as far as I think they can go if that.


Contender #4 Steelers 

    Russell Wilson has done this before and his magic seems back. Make no mistake the defense has been ready for the big time. 


Pretender #4 Ravens 

    Perhaps my hottest take on this list. Just as I stated you are who you are until you prove otherwise and when the lights get bright Jackson shrinks. I don’t like it but that’s the reality. Plus the defense isn’t near as good as they were last year.

Ranking the Roy Kids by Who Should Have Been the Succesor (Tv)

By
    Succession is one of the most nuanced and quite frankly fun shows to come out in the last 20 years. Now that it has been in the rearview mirror for over a year let’s rank the 4 Roy kids based on which should have been the successor by series end. Yes, Connor gets to be on this list too. So let’s rank the back stabbing, wisecracking, power hungry kids we have all grown to hate to love over the years. Without further ado the Quad Culture Succession hierarchy we hope Logan Roy would have loved but probably wouldn’t have. 4: Connor Roy Despite his potential 1% had he stayed in the presidential race Connor is the least cut throat and has the least knowledge of the business. In a lot of the ways he is the least like his father or pop as he calls him and while in most cases this is a good thing in the case of the business Connor is thoroughly behind his three half siblings. Also the arranged marriage with a prostitute just is not a good look for the CEO of a major media company...
