The YouTube title<\/a> of this week’s All Ball episode is \u201cJalen Hurts Is OVERRATED.\u201d This sort of headline is known as \u201cclickbait,\u201d or \u201cragebait.\u201d But what if I told you that Arif Hasan and I spent time in this episode striving toward a more nuanced version of \u201coverrated,\u201d a word which itself has become overrated? I bet you feel a little less rageful now. A little less baited. I bet you\u2019re saying to yourself, \u201cWow, I never realized that the words \u2018overrated\u2019 and \u2018good\u2019 need not be mutually exclusive!\u201d<\/p>\n

This is because you overrated yourself. You thought you were a genius right until this moment, but it turns out that you are are a stupid, easily led little twerp. That\u2019s why you require the full-throated force of All Ball to become a more knowledgeable, more complete person.<\/p>\n

Also we make fun of the Packers for eating shit against Carson Wentz.<\/p>\n

This is our second ever episode of All Ball and, thanks to feedback from you listeners (email us here<\/a>), our new NFL podcast is beginning to take on its ideal form. You asked for timestamps; we now have timestamps. You asked us to be clearer about which teams and players we were discussing; we made sure to catch you up whenever it felt appropriate. You asked us to imagine Cam Skattebo voluntarily eating dog food; we had no trouble on that end. Yes folks, we\u2019re quickly establishing ourselves as not just a proper NFL podcast, but the greatest NFL podcast that has ever been or ever will be. No gambling talk. No fantasy talk. No jump scare appearances from Pat McAfee. Just Arif and me, indulging each other\u2019s bullshit. It\u2019s a beautiful thing.<\/p>\n

So open up the podcast app of your choice and listen as we break down all the results from Week 1 and look ahead to every Week 2 matchup. You can also watch \u201cAll Ball\u201d on the Defector Media YouTube channel<\/a> if you simply must have faces to match the voices. And if you like what you see and hear, tell all your friends.
