The boys can no longer contain their excitement just one day from kickoff. It’s time for their first (!) Power Hour of the season. Danny, Danny, and Craig rank the things they’re most excited about going into the 2026-27 NFL season. After the final potential Tom Tom Club replacement (please email us your votes), Craig forces DK to make his Super Bowl pick, and Heifetz screams about the Australia travel mess going into Rams-49ers. They also give their two cents on the Michigan Mulligan and a few new Fantasy Court emails. It’s a packed show. You’re going to love it. Not as much as the guys love Mike McDaniel and the Chargers offense this year, but definitely more than how much Heifetz likes the Vikings skill group.
