Mind the Snap is the NFL podcast you never knew you needed—hosted by two forty-something English mates who’ve traded pints at the pub for plays on the field. Join Ryan and Lee as they dive headfirst into the weird and wonderful world of American football, tackling everything from touchdowns to terrible coaching calls with dry wit, healthy skepticism, and a touch of British bewilderment.
Whether you're a seasoned fan or just trying to understand what a "3rd and long" actually means, Mind the Snap brings fresh eyes, honest laughs, and a lot of accidental insight to the NFL season, one game at a time.
