The First Thing

Annddd we're back! One season and 25 tremendous episodes later has brought us back together. "The First Thing" with Jose Flores is here for another NFL season to provide you with unfiltered and unique takes all year long. The first show of our double-episode season launch focuses on NFL players that, like me, are entering their sophomore year. How will we grade all 32 teams' draft classes after a one-year sample size? And how do we project them to develop over time?? Who is bound for a sophomore slump!?! ARE WE HEADED FOR A SOPHOMORE SLUMP???? Nah, our second season around the track will be a surge. So, make sure you tune in weekly for more!

I've had it up to here with all the rumors, speculation and borderline gossip going around regarding the Lamar Jackson contract situation. I am here to set the record straight for everyone. In this episode I zoom out and lay out the whole entire picture when it comes to Lamar. I navigate through the truth, the speculation and the blatant lies being spewed and allow you to form your own educated opinion on the matter. Allow this to be an all-access guide through the current Lamar Jackson saga.

If this episode title doesn't get you excited, I don't know what will. IT'S SUPER BOWL TIME. We obviously talk Chiefs v Eagles. We also discuss the future financial problems for the Bengals and compare Josh Allen to an unlikely athlete. Are the 49ers in a worse spot than they were in last off season? Is this Daniel Jones' peak?? BEN DINUCCI?!?! Yes, this is one of our best episodes yet. Well-articulated from start to finish you're going to want to hear this! We discuss alllll that and, believe it or not, so much more in THIS episode of "The First Thing."

Then there were 8... In this episode I call for Staley's head, speculate Geno mania and deem Kirk Cousins as the king of mediocrity. We also temper expectations on Brock Purdy plus praise the coaching efforts of DaBoll and Co. Where will Brady play next year? Are the Chiefs inevitable? All this and so much more in this divisional episode of "The First Thing."

FANTASY FOOTBALL MOCK DRAFT TIME! 12 TEAM FULL PPR MOCK ON SLEEPER RECORDED DURING THE PEAK OF DRAFT SEASON! Join me as a guide you through my thoughts in this tense mock draft episode. I drafted from the 1.04 and had to make work with what fell to me in the early rounds. Hear my in-depth analyzes on fantasy football stars and sleepers as well as my philosophy on draft strategy/mocking. I also make bold predictions for my upcoming ROAD TO BOWL draft so listen and laugh as I'm sure I got a lot of things wrong. All this and SO much more in a JAM pack hour long episode of "The First Thing" with Jose Flores.
