  • Week 12: The Man Wants To Be Draped In Satin
    Nov 22 2024

    Welcome to 4th Down and Under! This week's episode features a passionate – and completely unexpected – deep dive into NFL helmet design philosophy, where we learn that a man simply wants to be "draped in satin" and that matte finishes with metallic accents are "just a good way to live." We also tackle the great uniform debate, with the Texans' bold red horns and Vikings' winter whites stealing the show, while comparing how different cities handle their winter preparations (spoiler alert: Texas power lines with icicles are basically Game of Thrones-level dangerous).
