Join us Wednesday at 5 CT for live picks podcast in New Orleans
Starting Monday and lasting all week, we'll be broadcasting PFT Live from New Orleans. In addition to five days of shows — with over 30 guests scheduled and counting — we'll be doing another live picks podcast from the Super Bowl city.
On Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. CT, the joint Chris Simms Unbuttoned/#PFTPM picks podcast will happen at Pat O'Briens.
It's free. No tickets. No reservations. Just show up and get ready for a 50-minute-or-so celebration of the Super Bowl with a deep dive into the Chiefs' quest to become the first team to win three in a row, and the Eagles' effort to keep that from happening.
So if you're in town on Wednesday, swing by. If you bring one of my books, I'll sign it. If you have a copy of Playmakers at home, I'll have some signed bookplates that you can stick inside the front cover.
We can't wait. Whether you think of us as Dick Hammer and Turd Ferguson or Sasquatch and Teen Wolf or something far less flattering, it'll be Simms and me yakking about football while trying (key word: trying) to entertain, inform, and amuse you.

Fans React to Hilarious Eagles Post After Tush Push is Not Banned
The Philadelphia Eagles aren't just known as Super Bowl champions — they've also become the face of the NFL's most controversial short-yardage play: the "tush push." Whenever the Eagles' offense found themselves within one yard of the first down marker or the endzone, quarterback Jalen Hurts would line up under center with two teammates offset to the left and right of him in the backfield. Advertisement At the snap, the offensive line surged forward, and Hurts followed with a quarterback sneak. The two players behind Hurts would then shove him from behind, giving the play an extra push to secure the line to gain. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (1) lines up for the tush push J.
