  • Slowly but surely

    Damn near every episode Taylor Swift being brought up is getting exhausting. Chris went from breaking down plays to gossip soon as the co host changed over.

  • Lip Smacking

    I really love their show, but Cris has developed this really annoying habit of smacking his lips before he starts speaking and you’ve got a break this this is a podcast man. It’s an audio thing. We gotta stop doing that. It’s really nasty.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TNF Buccaneers-Cowboys preview; Eagles rebuild after Ravens trade?
Q: How does Lane Johnson's retirement influence the Eagles' plans for the next few years?
Johnson's retirement is seen as a catalyst for rethinking the roster and draft strategy, prompting the organization to consider longer-term investments and reshaping the offensive line and overall cap strategy.
TNF Buccaneers-Cowboys preview; Eagles rebuild after Ravens trade?
Q: What are the Eagles doing with the Cam Juergens trade and how might it affect their season?
The panel discusses it as a bold, long-term move that shifts the offensive line dynamics, potentially signaling a strategic pivot rather than a single-season push. While it creates an immediate impact on personnel, the broader question is how the team balances present competition with future flexibility.
Best Defenses & 0-2 Teams with Mike Tomlin
Q: What was a defining moment for your most legendary defenses and how did it shift the game?
The Steelers' 2008–2010 era changed expectations for physicality and scheme, influencing the league's approach to player safety and the way defenses could impact outcomes in a way that shaped future rules and play style.
Best Defenses & 0-2 Teams with Mike Tomlin
Q: What makes Josh Allen so hard to defend and why would a coach want to work with him?
His ability to perform under pressure in the thick moments, especially with his mobility and improvisational play, along with a strong arm and leadership presence, makes him elite and worth coaching for a franchise looking to maximize his unique skill set.
Best Defenses & 0-2 Teams with Mike Tomlin
Q: What is the first thing you would do with a team that starts 0-2 to keep them focused?
I would emphasize a disciplined, week-by-week plan that aligns all three phases, ensure the club understands the new urgency, and deliver consistent messaging across the entire staff so the team buys into a unified path to victory.
