NFL Podcast: The Rise of the UFL, NFL Wants HGH Testing, and More!

I run a weekly NFL podcast, down at The Pigeon Toe. A buddy and I get together, grab some topics, stick 'em in between two slices of banter and deliver an NFL video podcast sandwich, topped with horseradish, because we're extremely saucy.

We're in our virgin year, and we started back in October 2010. We're getting better, we hope, but we would like some feedback. Here at the Bleacher Report, communities are awesome enough to deliver that. Take a gander, and let us know what you think.

Here's a breakdown of this week's episode:

The rise of the UFL

• Neil Tillman and I discuss the hiring of Marty Schottenheimer by the UFL's Virginia Destroyers as the head coach and general manager.
• We also tackle the hiring of Jerry Glanville by the Hartford Colonials. We try to answer the age-old question, "Who the heck is Jerry Glanville?"

NFL wants HGH testing

• We also break down why the players are against HGH blood testing in the first place, as well as decide if this is even a good idea.

Friendly 40-yard-dash competition

• Though this was a bit impromptu, Neil Tillman and I decided to run the 40, while the loser would have to pole dance, probably.

Chad Ochocinco trying out for MLS' Sporting KC

• We're going to run-down Chad Ochocinco's weird soccer tryout at Kansas City. Is he any good at soccer, anyhow?

Why won't Gus Johnson scream in Madden?

• We all know how crazy Gus Johnson can get. So when EA Sports named Johnson as the play-by-play announcer for its Madden series, we were all pumped, only to find out he never. Freaking. Screams.

That's it, you guys. Take a gander at the podcast. We realize that audio is pretty horrible, but we promise, it'll get better. (NOTE: We had some technical difficulties, thanks to crowded air-space.)

Comments are welcome. Encouraged, even.
