  • Mike is the best

    I find your discourses on the law to be very interesting and quite educational, especially when explaining NFL issues. Keep driving Park Avenue nuts.

    Please explain one small thing: why is anything Micah Parsons has to say about anything, other than Micah Parsons or the Packers, worthy of national media headlines. Even you fell for it.

  • Please leave politics out of your podcast!

    I have listened to and watch your podcast on Peacock. I’m a long time listener and have bought many of your books.

    I listen and watch to learn about what’s going on with the NFL, the games, teams, etc.

    I watch the news if I want to know what’s going on with politics. I like to keep the two separate.

    Would you please do the same and stop with the political rants and complaints. You can’t change anything and you are starting to alienate your audience and fans.

  • I'm Done! It was good while it lasted...

    If I want political opinions there are so many options. If I want angry vitriol from liberals, there are even more options. Why can't the show be "football talk"? There is more than enough content in the league and you are so good at talking about football. I cannot understand the interjecting of your political opinions into the show. I punched out when the show started with Simms taking a victory lap about what he did to Ted Cruz. Perhaps a proper civil discussion on both sides of the Save ... more

  • I have questions

    Why do so many liberal men look like Rachel Maddow?

    But seriously, NFL is my escape and Mike has a generally good show. Unfortunately, his incandescent, rug-chewing hate for Republicans erupts and then I shut him off. He whines that no one can shut him up. Bless his heart- would God have created a lawyer any other way?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PFT PM: Week 2 Nuggets; Plus, Sen. Chris Murphy on the Protect College Sports Act
Q: Is there bipartisan support for the bill, and what are the hurdles to passage?
There is claimed bipartisan support among some coaches and conferences, but critics argue the House timeline, competing priorities, and demands for tighter restrictions (including on transfers and agents) make passage unlikely before the election; a narrower, more targeted reform could be more feasible.
PFT PM: Week 2 Nuggets; Plus, Sen. Chris Murphy on the Protect College Sports Act
Q: What are the main concerns about how endorsement deals would change under the bill?
The bill would cap athlete revenue at around 20 percent, create a bureaucratic endorsement process that would suppress deals, and effectively give colleges and coaches more control, reducing opportunities for profitable endorsements that students currently access.
PFT PM: Week 2 Nuggets; Plus, Sen. Chris Murphy on the Protect College Sports Act
Q: Elevator pitch as to why the Protect College Sports Act should not pass.
Murphy argues that the bill would preserve exploitative dynamics in college sports by limiting athlete compensation, creating a rigid endorsement process, and turning back progress on players' voices and bargaining power, while suggesting more targeted reforms could address problems without broad antitrust exemptions.
How does J.J. McCarthy feel about Vikings QB decision?
Q: JJ McCarthy, do you feel like you're a starting quarterback in the NFL?
Yes, I believe so, and I maintain confidence in myself while focusing on doing whatever I can for the team and being ready when my number is called.
PFT PM: Brady on receiver drama; Miller wants to be a Cowboy
Q: Addicted to sports, what is your setup on Sundays? How many games are you watching slash red zone?
The host describes watching multiple games via a red-zone style setup, with live feeds and careful coordination to avoid spoilers, illustrating the complexity of modern game-day workflow.
