Kicking may be the most automatic it's ever been in the NFL, and the guys break down why after watching Eddy Piñeiro go a perfect 6-for-6 (including a 59-yarder) in the Niners' preseason finale against the Raiders. From there, the conversation turns into a full-blown debate about whether teams should ever spend a valuable draft pick on a kicker — and why that logic almost never works out. Then it's time for one of the show's favorite Friday traditions: ranking the best NFL broadcast theme songs of all time. Monday Night Football, NFL on Fox, NFL on CBS, Sunday Night Football, and the Red Zone theme all get put through the ringer, complete with some surprisingly detailed personal history — including a wild story from the infamous "Tuck Rule" game and a producer who apparently wakes up to the NFL on Fox theme every single morning.
With the Niners just two weeks away from kicking off the regular season in Australia, football season energy is fully in effect.
Topics discussed include:
Eddy Piñeiro's dominant preseason kicking performance
Why drafting a kicker in the third round rarely pays off
Whether the "K-ball" is making field goals too easy
The Niners' preseason wrap-up and upcoming trip to Melbourne
Ranking NFL broadcast theme songs (Monday Night, Fox, CBS, Sunday Night, Red Zone)
A personal Tuck Rule game story from the 2001 playoffs
