Are Both NY Teams Actually Good?! Plus: Belichick's UNC Drama & Week 1 Overreactions (Feat. Gregg Rosenthal)
Sixty minutes are in the books, and the NFL landscape is already pure chaos! Are the Jets and Giants both actually competent? Is it time to panic about the vaunted Texans defense after giving up 36 points to Josh Allen and the Bills? Plus, we dig into Bill Belichick’s second chapter at UNC, the Patriots’ continued struggles, the sleep-drunk Rams, and the total power outages plaguing the Chargers’ offense. To make sense of the opening-week fallout, our friend Ten Day Tony joins our show along with the great Gregg Rosenthal (that’s Gregg with three Gs). Learn more about your ad choices.

Takes We Want Back (feat. Mike Ryan Ruiz) + Panic in LA
Football is back, which means it’s officially time to panic over sample sizes of one! Mike Ryan Ruiz and Tony Calatayud swing by to publicly recant the terrible Week 1 takes they immediately regret. We ask the tough questions: Are the Rams and Chargers cooked, or just sleeping in? Tony breaks down why the Giants are complete, unadulterated fool's gold, and we roast the Steelers for somehow making a victory look like a mid-afternoon snoozefest. Finally, comedian Brad Williams joins us live from inside a Red Robin to preview Broncos vs. Chiefs—assuming his bottomless fries don't distract him first.ALERT: Football America!

Mahomes, Bo Nix, and Homer’s Odyssey?! (Feat. SI's Matt Verderame)
Football is back, and Dave kicks things off with a wild premise: why the modern NFL season is basically Homer’s Odyssey. Then, Sports Illustrated’s Matt Verderame stops by and brings the heat for Chiefs vs. Broncos. Matt breaks down why Patrick Mahomes is about to remind the world who reigns supreme, why Bo Nix’s mistakes will cost Denver dearly, and why this division rivalry is bound to come down to a single point. Finally, we lock in our game picks before we roast the J-E-T-S. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
