About this listen

 Football America is a show about stories that matter—discussed by people who don’t. Why? Because this beautiful game deserves all of the spotlight. Football raised us. We obsess over it. We fight about it. We name our dogs after retired players, then name our children after those dogs. We talk football the way Sinatra sang songs: with conviction. And drunk. Each week, Dave Dameshek’s embarrassing habit of assigning meaning to frivolous stats is on full display as he is joined by a host of celebrities, players, and well-meaning people who play experts on television. Hilarity ensues. Debate follows. It’s a love letter to football written in spicy mustard. Football America! is synonymous (see what we did there?). This isn’t just a sport. It's our national identity… but it’s also a sport.2025 Football (American)

    Was The Miracle on Ice Overrated? + Kyler Murray's Future and NFL Rule Changes
    Feb 20 2026
    We are a week into the NFL offseason, and Dave is thankful for the Olympics for easing us into it. To celebrate the 2026 Milan Games and the 46th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice, he kicks off the show by highlighting the moments that have changed the NFL the most since 1980. Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic and NFL Daily joins the show and weighs in on some of the biggest storylines in the NFC West, including Kyler Murray's likely departure from the Arizona Cardinals and where an aging San Francisco 49ers roster goes from here. Can Kyle Shanahan convince Trent Williams to continue playing for what feels like the eighth straight season? Plus, she and Dave offer suggestions for improving the NFL. After Jourdan departs, the guys keep the discussion going before Mike dives into his Super Bowl Observations. AUDIOFootball America! is available wherever you listen to podcasts.
