Arif and James are back to discuss training camp and the performance of all position groups. We also go over “wet reckless”, the NFLPA drama, and our favorite Jared Allen moments.

Episode Notes:
- My piece on FTN Fantasy Projections for a losing season for the Vikings. In it, I explain why regression could (or could not) apply to the Vikings defense and why the quarterback situation isn’t as variable as the authors suggest.
- James Foster’s Top 10 Quarterback Rankings for the 2026 NFL Draft
- Can We Predict the NFL Draft’s First Overall Pick in the Summer?
- Is Trevor Lawrence Good Enough?
- My piece on the NFLPA union stuff: Guaranteed Money, the NFL, and What it Means for Labor Politics
- Chris Gates provided more detail on Jordan Addison’s charge than almost anyone else who immediately wrote about it
- Kenny Mayne and Jared Allen (I can only find the first video of theirs online but here’s a low-res clip of him throwing a football). Here’s him shouting out his preschool pregame, him claiming the Culinary Academy as an alum, him fighting Donald Penn (and getting the sack afterwards) and Jared Allen on Jackass and him talking about getting into curling
- Alec Lewis’ story on Jared Allen
- I was reading from a Substack called Sumo Stomp! on air and it looks pretty good
