The NFL season is around the corner. Despite drafting Ty Hilton as my #1 Wide Receiver an hour before Andrew Luck retired, I am still excited for this season of football. Tomorrow, the Challenge season begins and I decided to find the team comparison for each War of the Worlds 2 cast member. Some of these are bad, but some might be good. Most of the time I might be comparing players to quarterbacks, and if we’re being honest, a quarterback is generally the identity of an NFL team.

Hope you all enjoy!

Johnny — Steelers

Similar to Johnny Bananas, Ben Roethlisberger has lost the elite stars who put him over in LeVeon Bell and Antonio Brown (Kenny and Evan). While they are still talented stars, there are often where he physically looks diminished and should consider retiring. Is winning a possibility? Of course. Is losing to Devin or the Lions still possible? Of course. Johnny Bananas enjoys elevators just as much as Ben does college bathrooms.

Wes — Ravens

One of the more crafty teams who will win games in extraordinary ways. They win through the defense, working the clock, or incredible special teams play. Wes is a great challenge mind who can pull a fast one on his opponents. He does not win with brute strength; he wins with his political game, his swimming ability, and ingenious strategies. If something goes wrong, they can easily go 6–10 and get eliminated early. However, they are always a sleeper for a playoffs spot, and if they get hot, they can win big.

CT — Cowboys

CT is America’s team. Challenge fans love him despite his flaws and the fact he may be a bit overhyped, yet he is obviously great and has a classic look.

Zach — Bengals

Zach’s Vendettas performance was similar to Andy Dalton’s 10–2 performance in 2015 where he broke his hand and was thus taken out for the season. Each season you think you might get the MVP version of the former star. Instead, we are disappointed with a 7–9 finish that often has small glimpses of the Zach/Dalton who was a top competitor.

Paulie — Chiefs

Paulie has wowed fans in daily challenges in each of the last two seasons. Once it hit the playoffs, he disappoints his OnlyFans subscribers as he’s not able to put it together. Somehow we convince ourselves every season he has what it takes to win.

Leroy — Jaguars

The 2017–2018 Jaguars almost went to the Super Bowl based on elite defense. On Exes 2, Leroy used his brute strength to win elimination after elimination against top players and finishing 2nd overall. They both proceeded to falter the following season based on their diminished power. A small drop in your one elite strength makes you below average. If they both can regain form, they both can become contenders again.

Josh — Raiders

The team who is making noise before the season starts. If you watched the trailer, Josh is getting into fights and yelling in people’s faces. The Raiders are crazy on Hard Knocks with Jon Gruden as coach, the Nathan Pederman experience as the back-up QB, and a whole lot of Antonio Brown drama. In the end, both will be forgotten by the end of the season as they will find themselves behind the rest of the pack.

Jordan — Packers

Aaron Rodgers is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time and kind of a weird dude who busts out of a mustache on occasion. Jordan is one of the greatest challengers of all-time, and he’s also an odd guy with questionable facial hair.

Turbo — Eagles

We cheered for the Eagles with their Big Dick Nick Foles magic just like we did with Turbo last season. It’s not often we find a challenger that we can all universally get behind (except for a select few). He is our Philly Special.

Theo — Texans

Theo is the DeShaun Watson of the Challenge. A supremely talented athlete who once he figures it all out, the league is in big trouble. He can put up multiple Challenge wins, and Watson might be able to win a Super Bowl or two. Both are in great situations that will only get better.

Kyle — 49ers

They might be good, ya kinda never know. With Jimmy Garoppolo, the 49ers went on a tear to end their 17–18 season. They then underwhelmed in 18–19 to start the year and an injury sidelined him for the rest of the season and torpedoed their slim playoff chances. At the very least, they’ll be fun to watch. Plus Jimmy G and Kyle are both players in the bedroom.

Bear — Giants

[Insert Daniel Jones joke]
[Insert Eli Manning joke]
[Insert Bear cousin fucking joke]

Joss — Seahawks

Similar to Russell Wilson, Joss is a beast competitor who is a little bit boring. Both great players on the field, you just want more oomph from them off of it.

Idris — Cardinals

The Cardinals have #1 pick and top prospect Kyler Murray. Idris Virgo is a pro boxer who is ready to wreak havoc and become the new Darrell. Or maybe the Diet Darrell. Or perhaps just Idris Virgo and I’m projecting too much.

Rogan — Broncos

We haven’t seen Rogan since his injury on Vendettas, and we haven’t Joe Flacco have a good game in a few years.

Sean — Redskins

Similar to Case Keenum, Sean is happy to be here and getting a check.

Cara — Patriots

She’s from Boston and is guaranteed a spot in the final at this point in her career. Cara is on a dominant streak currently and represents consistently and strength. There’s also a massive contingency of fans rooting against them.

Laurel — Panthers

The Cam Newton of the Challenge. She is a physical specimen who dominates her lesser competition and has carried weaker players on her back. I don’t think Cam has been as good as Laurel, though they’re both players who have been so good that we take them for granted.

Ashley — Colts

With Andrew Luck, the Colts are a Super Bowl-winning. With the Lavender Ladies alongside her, Ashley is a Challenge Champion. Could be a short season again without her three best friends.

Kam — Vikings

Everyone jumped on the Vikings bandwagon following the 17–18 season just like a lot of fans did with Kam after her first two seasons. We may have anointed her a little too quickly as she ended up being a relatively early exit on War of the Worlds.

Tori — Falcons

Another competitor who had a fantastic campaign one season that got us excited, and then massively disappointed. Tori’s Final Reckoning was much worse than Kam’s WOTW; however, Derrick Henry (Tori’s Steve Sarkisian) is no longer her partner, and she can bounce back and be a top player.

Nany — Bears

The double doink that ended the Bears season in 2019 is similar to Nany’s entire challenge career of coming up short before the Final. Double doink also represents Nany’s social game performance. She also lives in Chicago!

Faith — Bills

Sometimes you forget the Bills exist.

Ninja — Rams

The Rams had a dominant season last year, like Ninja Natalie. Both came close to winning (Ninja would have won if the final wasn’t genderless). Each has the talent to go back and win this season.

Dee — Browns

Both had solid seasons that got us buying into their hype as a future competitor. Although we may be buying in too much. This team could go 12–4 or 6–10. Neither results would surprise us.

Georgia — Chargers

The Chargers and Georgia went on miraculous runs last season where they became dark horse favorites to win it all. Georgia was a great runner with incredible cardio, and the Chargers had game-changers on both sides of the ball. In the final/playoffs, they both combusted spectacularly.

Kayleigh — Titans

I’m not entirely sure Kayleigh or the Titans are particularly good at their sport. My guts say they are not.

Zahida — Buccaneers

You look at Zahida, and you talk yourself into her because she’s incredibly attractive and seems fun. The Buccaneers get you into them with Jameis Winston connecting for long touchdowns with Mike Evans. In the end, their season ends sooner then we want to admit it will.

Jenny — Saints

Look man, I got to 29 fucking teams before I hit a wall with these comparisons. Jenny is a fitness model who is debuting on the Challenge in her 30s. That’s pretty old for a debut. Drew Brees is pretty old.

Big T — Jets

Big T is a cool name, and Sam Darnold has a weird head.

Esther — Dolphins

I found out today that Josh Rosen is on the Dolphins. Good for him. I also recently found out this Esther wasn’t on a TV show before the Challenge. Good for her on getting this shot.
