The 2025 NFL season has already delivered surprises — and not all of them good. In this episode of The Basement Boyz, the crew breaks down the biggest disappointments so far, from Joe Burrow’s season-ending injury to underwhelming performances from stars like Jamarr Chase and Justin Jefferson. They also dig into the Ravens’ slow start and what’s behind it.
Then it gets spicy: Is AJ Brown being a diva for demanding more targets, or does he have a point? The Boyz debate both sides. The episode also features their signature game segments — ranking NFC quarterbacks, a Puka Nacua “Would You Rather,” and identifying which NFL players are having the most disappointing seasons.
On the NBA side, they make the case for Giannis Antetokounmpo as the best player in the league right now, debate LeBron James’ value compared to other stars, and ask which players are under the most pressure to win a title this year.
TL;DL (Too Long; Didn’t Listen): Joe Burrow injury fallout. Jamarr Chase and Justin Jefferson underperforming. AJ Brown: diva or justified? Giannis has a case for best in the NBA. LeBron’s value debate. NFC QB rankings.
