#82 Skip Bayless Is Betting BIG on Diego Pavia

This week, we break down some of the biggest storylines around the NFL, starting with Aaron Rodgers and the growing expectation that he’ll end up in Pittsburgh. We talk about what the Steelers are doing at quarterback, why this situation feels different now, and what Rodgers could look like in that offense if a deal finally happens. We also get into one of the more talked-about offseason storylines — Diego Pavia landing with the Ravens and the reaction that followed. NFL analyst Skip Bayless made headlines after saying he believes Pavia could eventually challenge Lamar Jackson for the starting job, and we discuss whether there’s any real substance behind that take or if it’s simply offseason chaos. Around the league, we cover Joe Burrow’s excitement over the Bengals’ defensive rebuild, Russell Wilson’s future with the Jets potentially hanging in the balance between football and broadcasting, and the Falcons’ interesting quarterback competition between Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa. We also touch on teams making key roster moves, injury updates, and players expected to take major jumps heading into the season. On the college football side, we discuss the growing push for an expanded College Football Playoff format and the proposed changes that could significantly reshape the postseason moving forward. We also talk about the ongoing legal situation involving former Ohio State athletes and the latest recruiting buzz surrounding Adrian Peterson’s son already drawing national attention at just 14 years old.

#81 The Steelers Just Made Their Move on Rodgers

This week, we start with one of the more surprising outcomes from the draft — Diego Pavia going undrafted before eventually landing with the Ravens. We talk through how that happened and what it could mean for both sides moving forward. Around the NFL, there’s no shortage of storylines. The Steelers take an unusual approach with Aaron Rodgers, the Browns’ quarterback situation is already drawing attention, and teams across the league are making decisions that could have a real impact heading into the season. We also get into a few off-field situations in college football, including the investigation surrounding Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby and the recent situation involving Minnesota’s Drake Lindsey. The Sorsby situation is a serious one, with gambling violations putting both his eligibility and future in question, and potentially forcing Texas Tech to adjust their entire outlook at quarterback. It also opens up a bigger conversation about how common this issue is becoming across college sports and what the NCAA can realistically do to control it. With Lindsey, it’s a different kind of situation but still one that puts a spotlight on how quickly things can shift for young players. After a strong freshman season, he’s now dealing with off-field issues that could impact his development and standing with the program moving forward. We also zoom out and talk about what all of this means for college football as a whole — from player accountability to how programs respond when key pieces are suddenly in question. To wrap it up, we break down which coaches are under the most pressure heading into the 2026 season — and what they need to prove before things start heading in the wrong direction. We also touch on the possibility of a UFL team coming to Omaha and what that could mean for the city and local football fans. #NFL #NFLNews #NFLUpdates #Steelers #PittsburghSteelers #AaronRodgers #Rodgers #NFLRumors #NFLPodcast #FootballTalk #SportsPodcast #NFLOffseason#Quarterback #QB #DiegoPavia #Ravens #CollegeFootball #CFB #NCAA #TexasTech #Big12 #SportsTalk #UFL #Omaha #TNTBoysPodcast
