    Game of the Weekend, Hot-Seat Coaches, and Commissioner's Choice
    Oct 7 2026
    On this episode: the crew introduces the format and runs through the best college football and NFL games of the weekend before diving into the Deshaun Watson debate and the Falcons-Saints storylines around it. We break down which coaches and teams are sitting on the hottest seats — including what Todd Bowles can do to save his job in Tampa — and play commissioner on NFL international expansion vs. the College Sports Protection Act. Then it's time for picks: marquee college football matchups, featured NFL games, and a round of locks, upsets, and chaotic football trivia. Plugs, shout-outs, and sign-off to close.

  • We're Back: NFL First-Quarter Takes, Hot-Seat QBs & a World Series Pick

    We're Back: NFL First-Quarter Takes, Hot-Seat QBs & a World Series Pick
    Oct 3 2026
    The show is back, and we're wasting no time. After a quick catch-up and some travel banter, we dig into the biggest questions of the early NFL season: which team has actually looked like the best of the first quarter, and which young or struggling quarterback is sitting squarely on the hot seat? Expect plenty of AFC West trash talk once the QB debate spills over. Then we pivot to baseball to call our World Series champion, and close with a hot take on the Chargers' future plus picks for the week.

    We're breaking down the best games of the weekend across college football and the NFL. We debate which 4-0 college teams are legit contenders versus paper tigers (Texas, Georgia, Notre Dame, Miami, Indiana, Alabama, Florida), then play defend/sacrifice/destroy with the league's most-scrutinized young quarterbacks. Full slate of college and NFL picks with rivalry angles and prime-time predictions, a shout-out for ALS awareness, our weekly lock and upset contest, a quick dip into baseball playoff reactions, and a sports trivia battle to close things out. Thanks for listening — catch us on the next one.
