And just like THAT... the season was over.
From early September when all 32 teams were in with a chance... down to the final 2... down to the final 1: The Seattle Seahawks - Super Bowl LX Champions
Stuart takes guides you through this weekend's action solo.
We hope you enjoyed the game. We hope you enjoyed the season. And we hope you enjoyed 4th and Forever in 2025-2026.
From Stuart, Darren, and everyone else who has contributed this season: Thank you <3
You can keep your NFL Top 100, your OPOYs, your DPOYs, your OROYO-YOs and your LMNOPs - the 4th and 4evvies are THE most covetted awards in the NFL. It's the greatest NFL awards show which sandwiches the planet between hosts on opposing sides of the globe!
Who was the most fun? Who made the best play? Who wins that weird award that Stuart just flung in the middle because "why not?!"?
It's the 1st Annual (yeah, right)... 4th and 4evvies!
NFL Championship weekend gave us two completely different games with ALL the intrigue.
Controversial play calls.
Missed kicks.
Special Teams gaffs.
Big time defence.
Big time offence.
SNOW!
... and then... there were two: The New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks will battle it out in Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California!
284 games down.
1. To. Go.
I'm sorry, but there shouldn't be THIS MUCH drama in a sporting event, should there?
Once the show finishes, the drama is supposed to be OVER.
Can't someone tell that to the Broncos? Please? PLEASE?!
<Stuart has been relieved of his editing duties>

In the BIGGEST news of today, Stuart and Darren got together in an online studio again for the first time since... now when was it...? I dunno, something happened back in Feb.
Who are some of the players that the guys are excited to see some more of in the 25-26 season?
Also:
- WEDDINGS
- Cowboy (Contract) Builders
- QB Carousel
- ZERO comparisons to Jags ownership and Fulham FC ownership *ahem!*
After an excellent and very varied slate of Divisional games, we now turn to the final four with two incredibly juicy match-ups full of intrigue, narratives and...
... oh I just got flagged for not having mentioned the Chiefs yet.
15 yard penalty on the Bills.
Automatic 1st down...
Commanders @ Eagles
Bills @ Chiefs
Contrary to popular belief, Darren has not perished! He hath returned with insight for the upcoming Divisional Round games and the occassional look over the shoulder to what came before in the Wildcard Round.
News:
- Pats fire former Pro Bowl linebacker and hire former Pro Bowl linebacker
- Cowboys move on from Mike McCarthy just in time for there to be noone left to replace him
- Browns need a QB... duh
