About this listen

Welcome to Living Room Rivalry, the podcast where a sports-obsessed son and his opinionated mom turn their couch debates into a weekly show. Riley, a 20-year-old stats fanatic, lives for analytics and trends, while Stacy brings the culture, heart, and a lifelong love for the game. From football and basketball to baseball, and sometimes even soccer, and everything in between, they deliver bold takes, playful arguments, and the occasional moment of agreement. If you love passionate sports talk with a family twist, you’re in the right place.

  • Top 100 Throwdown: Lamar Respect, Saquon at #1 & Our Re-Ranked List
    Sep 12 2025

    The NFL’s 2025 Top 100 list just dropped, and you know what that means—Stacy and Riley are back on the couch with opinions hotter than Mahomes slander in Kansas City. From Saquon Barkley topping the list to WHY Patrick Mahomes is even on it at all, they tear into the rankings, re-order their own top 10, and of course clash over the eternal Living Room Rivalry debate: is Lamar Jackson being disrespected, or fairly ranked?

    They also:

    • Argue TJ Watt vs. Sexy Dexy, and whether injuries should dock elite defenders
    • Vent about Jamar Chase hype vs. Justin Jefferson consistency
    • Break down the Burrow/Lamar/Allen QB tier
    • Debate Derrick Henry vs. Saquon Barkley at the top
    • Question how defense ever gets judged fairly in lists like these
    • And pivot to MLB wild card chaos—Astros’ cold bats, Rangers’ push, Yankees’ revival, and a Giants hot streak

    It’s peak rivalry energy: football fights, baseball banter, and plenty of digs at each other’s “disrespectful” takes.

  • Week Two Picks: Upsets, Dogfights & a Super Bowl Rematch
    Sep 10 2025

    It’s pick time on Living Room Rivalry. Stacy and Riley rapid-fire through Week Two and plant some flags: Texans–Bucs as Houston’s must-win statement, Packers–Commanders as a real measuring stick, and a spicy Giants over Cowboys call.

    We lay out why Bengals–Jags and Lions–Bears both need blowouts, split on Seahawks–Steelers, and agree the Ravens roll the Browns. Primetime? Vikings–Falcons tests McCarthy’s clutch gene, Chargers–Raiders is sneaky fun, and the Eagles–Chiefs Super Bowl rematch has Philly circled.
    Drop your Week Two LOCK in the comments and tell us your upset of the week.

  • Week One Whiplash: Upsets, Letdowns & Fantasy Glory
    Sep 10 2025

    Living Room Rivalry kicks off NFL Week 1 reactions from opposite sides of the world—Stacy checking in from Japan and Riley holding down the couch. From the Texans’ offensive misery to shocking fourth-quarter collapses and game-winning heroics, this episode dives deep into what week one really told us (and what it didn’t).

    They spar over:

    • Texans’ defense dominance vs. CJ Stroud’s struggles
    • Rams, Bengals, and Browns rollercoaster storylines
    • Rookie standouts like Egbuka and McCarthy
    • Packers crushing the Lions and reshaping the NFC North
    • Ravens-Bills chaos and late-game heartbreaks
    • Fantasy football bragging rights (spoiler: Stacy’s gloating)

    It’s a mix of hot takes, hard truths, and classic mother-son banter. Week 1 didn’t disappoint—and neither do Stacy and Riley.
