The prize is a 30 minute phone conversation with yours truly, and I’m happy to re-up on that. In the spirit of NFL content, this week’s pod is with the ever granular Dieter Kurtenbach of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/@DieterHutch">Dieter and Hutch YouTube channel</a>. The overarching topic is an exploration of a) Why the 49ers went from analyzed to ignored by national media and b) How NFL national media arrives at its collective takes. </p><p>Topics include but aren’t limited to…</p><p>* National NFL games dictate a TON of NFL media takery </p><p>* Football games should only be played in domes? </p><p>* Jon Gruden’s big secret on what makes plays work</p><p>* A smidge of Wemby slander</p><p>* An insane aspect of a Brock Purdy interception the Monday Night Football TV broadcast didn’t show you</p><p>* The suddenly surging 49ers are being ignored? </p><p>* The Rams are the top team. One guy insists they have a fatal flaw?</p><p>* Dieter tries and fails to sell me on getting into the San Jose Sharks</p><p>* Interceptions are overrated</p><p>* Is Jalen Hurts protecting his rep by avoiding INTs?</p>

<p>I was touched by your responses to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.houseofstrauss.com/p/my-boy">this article</a> and apologize if I’ve yet to get back to you.

Topics include…</p><p>* Dumb NFL narratives</p><p>* Jalen Hurts’ teammates don’t like him</p><p>* Remember when Rush Limbaugh got fired by ESPN for race-ing the Donovan McNabb debate?</p><p>* Film geeks too often blame coaches</p><p>* Jalen Hurts’ golden moment that immediately went away</p><p>* Am I correct that Draymond Green has annoyed people into underrating him?</p><p>* Twitter shows what country you’re in now. An aspect of this saddened Spike</p><p>* Did Tom Brady really come close to dropping the n-bomb?</p><p>* Spike reacts to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.houseofstrauss.com/p/hos-mike-pesca-cf4">my pod reacting to Pablo Torre’s pod</a></p>
