    Apr 24 2026
    Dave is back in Pittsburgh for the 2026 NFL Draft. He provides an update on the events of Thursday Night. It was a big night for Indiana, but a bigger night for Ohio State. Notre Dame, too. Can't forget the Irish. The biggest night? That belonged to Ty Simpson. Then the guys rate the best rivalries that shouldn't be rivalries. And rivalries that aren't rivalries anymore. Think USA vs USSR. AUDIO Football America! is available wherever you listen to podcasts.

    Apr 17 2026
    The NFL Draft is Mendoza’s world, we’re just living in it.

Plus, it’s hockey season so we’ve brought in the heavy hitters: Pete Blackburn and DJ Bean from What Chaos! join the show to rank the best Boston jerseys of all time and identify the NHL stars who would dominate any decade.

    Jonathan Zaslow is man we love. But is he a man we know? That's what we set out to do on Football America! We get into the deep conversations of life with our good friend. Starting, of course, with a consequential debate about the Vegas Omelette Bar. Is it worth the wait? Can you ever get a decent fluffy omelette at a buffet? Or is it place of disappointment? Zaslow gives us the answer. We go from there to his thoughts on fashion: Gold Jacket vs Green Jacket. Zaslow has a natural love for sports. He's the voice in our industry that we need. We're thrilled whenever his plane lands on Football America! AUDIO Football America! is available wherever you listen to podcasts.

    Amin Elhassan: Why Will Ferrell Outranks Robert De Niro
    Apr 3 2026
    Who is the best #58 in history? Dave goes with Jack Lambert. But our guest Amin Elhassan goes with Derrick Thomas. We then get into the weeds with the word, bust. You can bust in a bad way. But if someone makes you a bust it means you've had a hall of fame career. This leads us to Las Vegas. Is it okay to vacation there with your kids? Or is it purely an adult zone? We finish it up with Amin ranking Tom Cruise and Will Ferrell's body of work over that of Robert De Niro. Yes, he went there. It's a wide ranging conversation with one of the top minds in sports.

  • Inside the Sports Studio: The Pablo S. Torre Interview

    Inside the Sports Studio: The Pablo S. Torre Interview
    Mar 27 2026
    Dave offers ways to improve the NFL, by stealing from other professional sports. How much better would football be if the players could fight? What about relegation and stoppage time? We also get into a deep debate about nuts. Then Dave gives Pablo Torre the James Lipton questionnaire, adapted from Bernard Pivot. What's his favorite word? What's his least favorite word? Are nuts a snack or a treat? He answers it all and then gets deep about being a true fan of sports. It's a can't miss interview with the top sports journalist in the game.

    Mar 20 2026
    Dave offers advice to the 2026 NFL Draft class: “When the team calls you, don’t answer on the first ring... too desperate.” Then we head out to Draft Mountain and chat with the one man who sits at its peak: Daniel Jeremiah from The Move The Sticks Podcast.
