Segment 1: NFL Rule Shake-Up – New Overtime, Kickoffs & Replay Power


Show: Football is Money

Host: TheyKallMeBoss

Segment Title: “You Can’t Bet on What You Don’t Understand – The Rules Just Changed”




TKMB (Show Opener):

“Aight y’all—this is Football is Money and today, we’re breaking down the chaos from the NFL’s latest owners meetings.


Because while everybody’s watching the trades and free agency—there’s a rulebook being rewritten right under your nose. And if you don’t know what’s changing… you’re already losing bets, fantasy matchups, and future edges.


Let’s talk overtime, kickoffs, and why your sportsbook props might look a little different this season.”




1. Regular Season Overtime Rules Are Changing

 • Both teams now guaranteed a possession in OT—even if the first team scores a touchdown.

 • Regular season overtime still capped at 10 minutes (ties still possible).

 • This aligns regular season OT with postseason OT rules.


TKMB:

“They finally did it. No more sudden death TDs that leave one side standing on the sideline helpless. This evens the playing field… but also brings new strategy into play.”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • More possessions = more fantasy upside in OT games (especially for QBs and WRs).

 • Live betting OT? Now there’s a legit reason to take team totals and passing props on both sides.

 • Underdogs might get more aggressive in regulation knowing they’ll get a shot in OT.




2. Kickoff Touchbacks Moved to the 35-Yard Line

 • This change is meant to increase kickoff return rates, which dipped to 32.8% last season.

 • League expects returns to jump back to 70–75%.


TKMB:

“They want more action on kickoffs—simple as that. And more action means more chances for returns, fumbles, and busted props.”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • Boost to return specialists in deep leagues and DFS.

 • Watch early season kickoff return props—there could be value before sportsbooks adjust.

 • Could impact field position props and first-quarter scoring totals.




3. Replay Assist Gets More Power

 • Replay officials can now overturn penalties like face masks, hits on defenseless players, roughing the kicker, and horse-collars if the call was clearly wrong.

 • Still can’t add a flag, only reverse it if it was thrown.


TKMB:

“This is lowkey huge—because refs miss stuff every week. Now the booth can clean it up in real time.”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • Defensive penalties getting cleaned up means cleaner stops for DSTs.

 • Less risk of random 15-yard flags ruining a sack or turnover.

 • Betting props for defensive INTs and sacks might see a slight bump if fewer bogus roughing flags are upheld.




Segment 1 Wrap-Up:


TKMB:

“Let’s run that back real quick:

 • Overtime just got fairer—more scoring, more strategy, more drama.

 • Kickoffs just got spicier—watch those return yards early.

 • And the refs just got a little less reckless—because the booth is watching everything now.


If you’re a fantasy player or bettor—this ain’t just NFL housekeeping. This is your playbook changing.





We just hit y’all with the major rule changes that are already locked in…

Now let’s talk about the ones that got shot down—or just getting started. Because the politics behind this next stuff? That’s where it gets messy.


The Tush Push. The Christmas takeover. Thursday night flex. You ready? Let’s get it.”




1. “Tush Push” Ban Proposal Falls Flat – For Now

 • 16 teams voted to ban the play. Needed 24 for it to pass.

 • Philly’s infamous short-yardage QB shove lives to see another season.

 • Some owners hate it, but no injury data to justify the ban (yet).


TKMB:

“This is classic NFL energy—‘We don’t like it, but we can’t stop it.’

They tried to outlaw Philly’s cheat code, but didn’t have the votes. And that’s because… well, most teams just ain’t strong enough to run it like the Eagles do.”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • Jalen Hurts fantasy value holds steady—especially in TD-only formats.

 • 4th-and-short overs stay spicy—especially for Eagles backfield props.

 • If this gets revisited in May? Could impact goal-line TD scorers and QB sneak plays in all betting markets.




2. NFL Expands Thursday Night Flex – Notice Window Cut to 21 Days

 • Teams can now be flexed into Thursday night games with just 3 weeks’ notice (previously 4).

 • Goal is to keep TNF matchups relevant late in the season.


TKMB:

“This helps the product, sure. But for players and travel schedules? It’s brutal. Especially for fans who bought tickets 3 months in advance.”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • Be ready for short-week snap count drops—vets often rest more on TNF.

 • If your guys get flexed to Thursday—expect volume dips, especially for RBs and TE blockers.

 • Prop bettors: pay attention to injury reports and usage trends during flexed weeks. Edges are there.




3. Christmas Day Tripleheader – Streaming Takes Over

 • NFL is running 3 games on Christmas Day 2025 (a Thursday):

 • 2 games on Netflix

 • 1 nightcap game on Amazon Prime

 • Following huge viewership from 2024 (65M+ tuned in across Netflix), this move cements streaming’s spot in NFL plans.


TKMB:

“Bro… Christmas is now an NFL takeover. This ain’t just holiday football—it’s the league saying, ‘We run December now.’

And the Netflix play? That’s marketing genius. Non-fans are watching. Family’s already on the couch. You tap into a whole new demo.”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • Big opportunity for DFS slates—3 standalone games = perfect for primetime showdowns.

 • Streaming-only games might have slower betting line movements—advantage for early bettors.

 • Watch injury news timing—delays in updates can create soft lines in fantasy & props.




Segment 2 Wrap-Up:


TKMB:

“Quick recap:

 • The Tush Push survives—Eagles fans, you good for now.

 • Thursday Night Football just got more flexible—and more dangerous for fantasy starters.

 • And Netflix is out here becoming the NFL’s new cable package.


This ain’t just sports. It’s content, marketing, and leverage.

You can call it football… but we call it money.”




TKMB (Pre-Break):

“We’re just getting started.


Coming up next—we shift to quarterback drama:

Aaron Rodgers to Pittsburgh?

Justin Fields in New York?

Russ and Jameis in Big Blue?


Plus—contract talks, Purdy’s payday, and what the 49ers are REALLY building behind the scenes.


Stick around.

Like, subscribe, and tell a friend to tell a friend—we’ll be right back on Football is Money.”





Segment 3: QB Carousel & Contract Power Plays


Show: Football is Money

Host: TheyKallMeBoss

Segment Title: “Quarterback Chaos – Who’s Moving, Who’s Paid, and Who’s Still Proving?”




TKMB (Segment Intro):

“Aight—welcome back to Football is Money.


This next one? It’s the quarterback shuffle—the part of the offseason where depth charts flip, teams gamble, and fanbases convince themselves ‘this is our guy.’


Let’s talk about who’s on the move, who’s cashin’ checks, and who’s still tryna hold on to a job.”




1. Sam Darnold Cashes Out in Seattle

 • 3-year, $100.5M deal with the Seahawks.

 • Leaves Minnesota for a fresh shot as a true QB1.

 • Seahawks say he’s their starter, no holding back.


TKMB:

“Bruh—$100 million for Darnold?!

Seattle said forget the past and bet on the tools. It’s boom or bust—but the Seahawks are tired of treading water.”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • Darnold is a deep-league QB2—but watch his weapons (Kupp, JSN) for bounce-back value.

 • Seahawks win total might be undervalued if Darnold delivers consistency. Still risky.




2. Justin Fields to the New York Jets

 • 2-year, $40M deal, $30M guaranteed.

 • Replaces Rodgers and reunites with Garrett Wilson.


TKMB:

“From the bench to Broadway—Fields got his second chance.

If the Jets let him run wild and build around him? That offense gets real fun, real fast.”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • Fields = upside QB1 in rushing formats.

 • Jets overs and prop bets could get a glow-up—especially if the O-line holds up.




3. Russell Wilson + Jameis Winston = Giants QB Room Overload

 • Russ signs for 1 year, $21M, half guaranteed.

 • Jameis signs 2 years, $8M for backup/depth.

 • Giants still hold the No. 3 pick—QB in play.


TKMB:

“This feels like a ‘hold it down while we find the real guy’ kind of move.

Both dudes have seen it all. But are they leading this team? Or babysitting the next one?”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • Minimal fantasy juice unless one catches fire.

 • Giants win total is capped unless one of these QBs flashes early.




4. Daniel Jones to the Colts

 • 1-year, $14M prove-it deal.

 • Indy adds depth behind Anthony Richardson.


TKMB:

“DJ’s not done—but this move says ‘backup insurance’ more than franchise revival.

Still, the Colts got a sneaky QB room now.”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • No standalone value unless AR misses time.

 • Colts futures steady—this is depth, not drama.




5. Jacoby Brissett to the Cardinals

 • 2-year, $12M deal.

 • Mentor role behind Kyler Murray.


TKMB:

“This is classic vet QB energy. Brissett’s a locker room guy who keeps you afloat if your starter gets rocked.

Safe. Solid. Smart.”




6. Geno Smith Traded to the Raiders

 • Seattle gets a 2025 third-round pick in return.

 • Geno joins Vegas to compete for the starting job.


TKMB:

“Don’t sleep—Geno might win that job outright.

Raiders needed leadership and a vet who can manage the game. Geno still got it.”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • Deep sleeper if he starts.

 • Could stabilize WR value (Davante, Jakobi) in Vegas.

 • Raiders win total might hinge on this battle.




7. Kenny Pickett to the Browns

 • Acquired from Philly in exchange for DTR + a 5th.

 • Adds competition and depth behind Deshaun Watson.


TKMB:

“This one’s sneaky.

If Watson breaks down again, Pickett could step in—and he knows the AFC North well.

Low key upgrade for Cleveland’s QB room.”




8. Matthew Stafford Stays Put – Restructures with the Rams

 • Restructured deal adds guaranteed money and locks him in as the Rams’ starter.

 • Turned down $90M+ offers from the Giants and Raiders.

 • Wife Kelly Stafford praised Sean McVay for handling the process with class.


TKMB:

“This was the shocker. Stafford flirted with the market—teams were throwing bags at him—but loyalty (and coaching stability) kept him in L.A.


Rams now build one last run around him before that chapter closes.”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • Stafford = QB2 with streaming upside, depending on health and WR room.

 • If Rams draft offensive help? Might climb into late-round redraft consideration.

 • Rams win total might sneak into value territory—if Stafford holds up and that defense rebounds.




Segment Wrap-Up – TKMB:

“Here’s the real takeaway:

 • 8 QBs on the move. That’s not an offseason—that’s a QB market reset.

 • Some got the bag (Darnold). Some got another shot (Fields).

 • Some are just trying to stay in the league (Pickett, Jameis, Brissett).

 • And the OG? Stafford said, ‘Nah—I’m staying home.’


This is where depth charts get wild, fantasy boards get shaken, and betting lines quietly shift.”




This ain’t just about stars—it’s about who’s building, who’s breaking, and who’s betting on chemistry.



And now, It’s about the playmakers—the ones who stretch the field, move the chains, and stir the locker room.


Some teams are adding new weapons. Some are saying goodbye to vets. And one Super Bowl squad is quietly blowing it all up.


Let’s run it down.”




And if you’ve been tapped into the offseason chaos, you know this segment finna get spicy.


We’re talkin’ blockbuster trades, wide receiver drama, retirements, and whole rosters getting flipped like pancakes on Sunday morning.


Let’s get into these moves.”




49ers Clean House to Pay Brock Purdy

 • 17 players gone: Dre Greenlaw, Charvarius Ward, Talanoa Hufanga, Deebo Samuel, Jordan Mason, Leonard Floyd, Maliek Collins

 • Jed York: “We’re clearing space to keep Brock Purdy long-term”

 • Brock’s future deal could push $50M/year


TKMB:

“Yo… this is a real salary cap purge. The Niners basically cleaned out a Pro Bowl roster just to save the bag for Brock.


They called him a top-10 QB—and the whole franchise just restructured itself around him.


So now it’s like, Brock better bounce back. No more excuses. He’s the guy. Period.”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • Purdy stays a high-floor QB2, but upside capped with a new supporting cast

 • Fade early-season offensive props until we see how this new roster gels

 • 49ers Super Bowl odds might drop—but buy the dip if you believe Purdy’s bounce-back season is coming



Eagles Might Trade Dallas Goedert

 • Final year of contract: $12M cap hit

 • Sirianni: “He’s on our team… for now.”

 • Replaced depth with Harrison Bryant & Kylen Granson


TKMB:

“You don’t drop that quote unless a trade is on the table.


Philly loves Goedert. The fans love him. But the cap don’t lie—and they might have to let one of their leaders walk.”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • Goedert traded = automatic TE1 in new system

 • If he stays, he’s still top 7, but could see fewer targets with Saquon now in the mix

 • Eagles red zone props could shift big if he’s moved




Steelers Steal the Seahawks’ Receiver

 • Signed DK Metcalf to massive deal


 • WR room: Metcalf, Pickens, 


TKMB:

“This is wild—Steelers said ‘y’all ain’t using ‘em right’ and just scooped the whole Seattle WR room.


If Rodgers pulls up in Pittsburgh? That’s a cheat code-level receiver group.”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • WR targets will be high 

 • Rodgers arrival = value spike across the board

 • Futures? If the Steelers land A-Rod, hammer the over on win total before the books adjust




Seahawks Bet Big on Cooper Kupp

 • Kupp signed after Rams let him go

 • New WR duo could be: Kupp, JSN


TKMB:

“Seattle lost their 1-2 punch with Metcalf and Lockett, but they came back with Kupp—and might not be done.


Kupp + JSN is already smooth. That’s experience and hands everywhere.”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • Kupp is a WR2 with WR1 upside if healthy

 • JSN becomes the guy 

 • This passing game could be sneaky fire—and undervalued in best ball drafts




Retirement Watch: League Legends Step Down

 • Brandon Graham retires after Eagles’ Super Bowl win

 • John Cominsky (Lions) retires at 29 due to injury

 • Raiders sign Sam Darnold, Falcons bring back Marcus Mariota

 • Lions add CB D.J. Reed from Jets


TKMB:

“Graham walked out with a ring. Cominsky had to hang it up early. These moves matter—not just on the field, but in the locker room.


And Sam Darnold + Mariota? Those are insurance policies for two franchises that know their QBs ain’t invincible.”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • Retirements open doors for new starters—watch for IDP value on defense

 • D.J. Reed boosts Lions DST potential

 • Darnold & Mariota aren’t fantasy relevant, but their presence impacts the QBs above them on the depth chart




Segment 4 Wrap-Up:


TKMB:

“So what we learned?

 • The 49ers just bet the entire house on Brock Purdy.

 • Philly might move on from one of their core guys in Goedert.

 • Steelers just robbed the Seahawks’ WR room, and it could get nasty with Rodgers.

 • Seattle’s flipping the WR room and Kupp might have more left in the tank than people think.

 • And the vets are retiring, the depth moves are happening, and it’s setting the stage for the next generation.


Coming up next…


It’s time to talk contracts, cap games, and long-term strategy. Micah Parsons about to get paid. Brock Purdy’s deal is being budgeted now. And a few coaches are talking spicy already.


Stick with us—like, subscribe, and tell a friend to tell a friend. We’ll be right back on Football is Money.”



Let’s go! Here’s Segment 5, the contract and strategy deep dive with full Football is Money tone. Then we’ll move right into crafting the final segment that ties it all together—fantasy, betting, and a little love for the football fam.



Segment 5: Contracts, Cap Games & Front Office Chess


Show: Football is Money

Host: TheyKallMeBoss

Segment Title: “Extensions, Power Plays & Building for the Bag”



TKMB (Segment Intro):

“Aight y’all—we back with Football is Money, and now we’re tapping into the business side of the game.


Because before anybody takes the field, the GMs are in the lab figuring out how to pay stars, shift the roster, and build a contender without going broke.


Let’s break down who’s securing generational money, and who’s playing long-term chess.”



Micah Parsons Extension Heating Up

 • 5–6 hour meeting with Jerry Jones

 • Deal reportedly close—most terms locked in

 • Parsons demands his agent stays involved after Jerry downplayed it


TKMB:

“Micah said don’t play with me or my money. Jerry tried to go old school, but Parsons reminded him—this is 2025, and business moves different now.


That bag is coming. And he’s gonna be the highest-paid defender in franchise history. Deserved.”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • Parsons helps keep the Cowboys D/ST elite—stream them confidently

 • Betting on Parsons for Defensive Player of the Year? Might wanna lock that in before camp



Brock Purdy: The 49ers’ Long-Term Bet

 • 17 vets out = cap space for Purdy’s deal

 • Jed York: “We’re excited to pay him… he’s top-10 in this league.”

 • Expected deal could be $50–55M/year


TKMB:

“The Niners basically hit delete on a full starting lineup to save money for Brock.


Now it’s on him. Year 3. Young team. His system. Let’s see if he’s a superstar or just a good story.”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • Brock’s value is mid-tier QB1 in 6-pt TD leagues

 • Bet the Niners win total carefully—they’re in rebuild-lite mode while staying competitive



Green Bay Going Ground & Pound

 • Elgton Jenkins may move to center

 • Insiders say RPOs, power run, and motion-heavy system incoming


TKMB:

“This ain’t Aaron Rodgers’ Packers no more. This is Jordan Love, AJ Dillon, and trench warfare.


Run it 30 times, beat you with timing and pain.”


Fantasy & Betting Spin:

 • Expect more consistent RB touches—PPR sleepers could emerge

 • Bet on GB 1st half unders if they slow the tempo and lean on defense



Ben Johnson Brings Swag to Chicago

 • New Bears coach says he “enjoyed beating LaFleur”

 • Believes this is his division now

 • QB situation expected to solidify through draft


TKMB:

“Ben Johnson came in like a Marvel villain—confident, calculated, and ready to flip the NFC North.


This ain’t the old Bears. They got DJ Moore, a QB coming, and a coach who ain’t scared to talk his talk.”



Vikings Load Up for McCarthy

 • Signed David Montgomery to pair with Mattison

 • Focus on run-heavy, controlled offense

 • J.J. McCarthy = expected starter


TKMB:

“They didn’t get Rodgers, but the Vikings said we’re gonna run the damn ball and play defense.


This is a system being built to protect McCarthy—not overwhelm him.”



Segment 5 Wrap-Up:


TKMB:

“Big money. Big moves. Here’s the quick hits:

 • Micah’s about to cash in, and he’s doing it his way.

 • Brock Purdy’s the 49ers’ future—San Fran just put the whole system behind him.

 • Green Bay, Chicago, Minnesota—they’re all reinventing themselves before the season even kicks off.


And this is why we watch the offseason—because this is football chess.


And now,


We bring it all back home. Fantasy studs. Betting value. And for our real football fans? We got something special for y’all too.





“Aight y’all—this is the final stretch, and before we close it out, we gotta bring it full circle.


Everything we talked about—every QB move, every trade, every extension, every coaching shift—it all comes back to two things:


Fantasy football… and parlay betting.


And if you’re part of the Football is Money family? This is where we give you the game that matters most.”



Fantasy Football – Build Like a GM


TKMB:

“All these offseason moves? This is your fantasy football blueprint. This is how you build a championship squad before anyone else is even mock drafting.

 • Quarterback changes? That’s your signal to adjust WR rankings and know who’s rising or falling.

 • Coaching changes? That tells you what systems are coming—run-heavy, pass-happy, RPO-focused. All that changes value.

 • Free agent signings? You better know if a guy is walking into targets or walking into a committee.


Fantasy isn’t about August—it’s about April. And the ones who watch now? They win later.”



Parlay Betting – Line Shifts Start in the Offseason


TKMB:

“If you’re a parlay player, this is where you make your money.

 • Futures odds? They move fast after a signing or trade.

 • Team win totals? They shift with every roster shakeup.

 • Player props? The earlier you get in, the more value you can squeeze out.


You think the books are sleeping? They’re adjusting the lines daily while most fans wait till Week 1.


This is the time to prep your parlay slips—because by July, the value’s gone.”



This Is for the Football Family


TKMB:

“Now I know some of y’all don’t even care about fantasy. Don’t bet a dime. You’re just here ‘cause you love football.


And I respect that.


So here’s your takeaway:

 • Watch how teams move—it tells you everything about how they value players, culture, and legacy.

 • Look at who’s building for the future and who’s just buying time.

 • Pay attention to who gets re-signed and who walks—that’s where the real story lives.


Football ain’t just about points—it’s about passion, pride, and power plays.


And if you love this game, we got you every step of the way. This show is for you.”



Final Word – From the Vault


TKMB:

“Every episode, we give you strategy. We give you insight. We give you that edge.


But today? We also give you purpose.

 • Be the first in your league to draft smart.

 • Be the one hitting big slips in September ‘cause you saw it coming in April.

 • Be the football head who doesn’t just watch the game… you understand it.


Because Football is Money—but it’s also family, knowledge, and community.


So like always—like, subscribe, and tell a friend to tell a friend.


Next week? We break down the rookie class and tell you which first-years could flip fantasy and betting markets upside down.


Until then—as always watch the signs, bet smart, and build like a champ.

Im your host TheyKallMeBoss, this is Football is Money, and We out.”
