  • The Schedule Release Scam: Trading NFL Logic for Soccer Rules (Feat. Ethan Strauss)

    The Schedule Release Scam: Trading NFL Logic for Soccer Rules (Feat. Ethan Strauss)
    May 15 2026
    The 2026 NFL schedule is here, and it's time to admit it: this is a total scam. We knew the games months ago, and "strength of schedule" is just a guess based on a season that’s already over. Yet, here we are, reading every headline just to plan our November. If we’re going to waste our time on nonsense, let’s at least make it interesting nonsense. Let's stop the schedule-shuffling and start a much weirder conversation: What if American football played by soccer’s rules? Plus, Ethan Strauss of House of Strauss stops by to give his thoughts on storylines and why we think the way we do. Don't miss it.
