Dave Has Thoughts on Aaron Rodgers

The 49ers Mirage, CJ Stroud's Takeover, & Nu-Metal Confessions (feat. Nate Tice)

This week, Nate Tice from Football 301 joins the show to help us unpack why the 49ers might be dangerously overhyped, even if Brock Purdy remains wildly underrated under center. Then, we head over to the AFC to declare why you need to buy all the stock in the Houston Texans and their fantastic young quarterback, CJ Stroud. We also break down why Fernando Mendoza has found himself in the absolute perfect situation to succeed, before taking a trip down memory lane to remind everyone that prime Dan Marino was basically Superman playing the QB position. Finally, we close out the show with a pop-culture confession: we're defending the nu-metal renaissance and debating why Korn and Limp Bizkit might actually be... good.

Cowboys, Cups, and Banning the Wave

This week, we’re covering all the bases—and the pitches, and the gridiron. We kick things off with a deep dive into the NFC East, breaking down what to expect from the Eagles, how Jalen Hurts is looking, the latest on Jim Harbaugh, and the current state of the Dallas Cowboys. Then, we trade our cleats for pitch-side seats to talk World Cup fever and the unwritten rules of global fan etiquette. Are you doing it right, or are you the problem? Finally, we take a trip to the Friendly Confines of Wrigley Field to tackle the most hard-hitting topics in baseball: the infamous pee troughs and the real reason they strictly ban the wave in the outfield bleachers.
