The Aftermath returns for another season on NFL Network, beginning Monday, Sept. 14--and the show with the iconic #nopromo hashtag gets a little love on the podcast co-hosted by one of its cast members. Aftermath QB Rhett Lewis, O.G. Steve Wyche and personnel guru Daniel Jeremiah join Mike and Natalie to marvel at the show’s lopsided ratings-to-respect ratio, its legendary superfan and why one member of the Fab Four won’t put the pedal to the metal in North Dakota. We also get the backstory behind the notorious Hue Jackson sangria photo.
The dissection of the greatest show on sports television begins with a history lesson showcasing former cast member Nate Burleson and the ‘Toe Drag Swag’ that launched him to stardom and degenerates into a debate over whether Steve Wyche, Rhett Lewis or Daniel Jeremiah had the more distinguished college football career. We learn why Wyche CAN (and will) drive 55 in Fargo--and discover what he and former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar have in common. Other highlights include a ranking of the Aftermath cast members’ looks, Natalie’s recollection of staging the infamous Hue Jackson sangria photo and a breakdown of the glorious Al Michaels/Aftermath love affair.
