Football America!
Football America is a show about stories that matter—discussed by people who don’t. Why? Because this beautiful game deserves all of the spotlight. Football raised us. We obsess over it. We fight about it. We name our do...

| 10/16/26 | College Football Chaos with Mike Ryan Ruiz, FPI Madness & A Raiders Reality Check | Mike Ryan Ruiz joins the show to talk Cleveland and college sports. We dive straight into the high-stakes Ohio State vs. Indiana showdown. If the Buckeyes lose, will their perception actually improve like Alabama's did against Georgia? Plus, we question how LSU is still ranked and expose the sheer madness of the College FPI—imagine if it put the Chargers and Texans in the NFL playoffs! We also count down our three can't-miss games for Week 6. To wrap it all up, we hit the Las Vegas Raiders with a reality check. Learn more about your ad choices.

| 10/12/26 | Leg Cannons, Ref Controversy & the Browns Superteam (feat. Todd Haley and Jarrett Bailey) | On this episode of Football America, Todd Haley and Jarrett Bailey from The Pump Fake Podcast join to spill tea on his attempt to bring Josh Allen and Saquon Barkley to the Cleveland Browns. We debate whether the Jacksonville Jaguars are legit and marvel at Cam Little’s leg cannon. We also examine why Micah Parsons is Green Bay's missing Super Bowl link and dissect the controversial call that saved San Francisco against Seattle. Finally, we highlight Caleb Williams' upcoming return to Chicago, point out signs of life in the Bengals' run game, and question why skill players (READ: Cam Skattebo) aren't forced to wear sticky gloves.

| 10/9/26 | Iron Mike, Hot Seats & the NFL Injury Myth (Feat. Nick Kostos) | Nick Kostos joins the show as we break down all the chaotic storylines heading into Week 5 of the NFL. Is this sudden wave of player injuries a genuine crisis or just the annual media narrative? Are two AFC West offensive coordinators on the absolute hottest seats? Over in the NFC North, the Chicago Bears sit at an unexpected 2-0 without Caleb Williams, gearing up for a high-stakes statement game against their arch-rival Packers. Meanwhile, Philadelphia is reeling after Lane Johnson’s sudden mid-week retirement stripped the Eagles of their offensive Jenga piece. Finally, we ask if the 3-1 defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks are somehow flying under the radar as the quietest frontrunners in recent memory. Learn more about your ad choices.

| 10/5/26 | Can Buffalo Finish, Will Miami Cover, and Is McDaniel Out in LA? (Feat. Lance Zierlein) | One month into the NFL season, the league has officially turned into a fever dream. From an instant-classic shootout between Kansas City and Las Vegas to the Dolphins miraculously covering the spread for the first time all year, no leads—or storylines—are safe. We break down whether Dallas is crazy enough to let George Pickens walk while CeeDee Lamb dominates as the clear-cut No. 1, and detail how New England pulled off a staggering comeback to keep the Bills from putting the AFC East on ice in October. Plus, with seat heat rising fast, we ask the million-dollar question: Is Mike McDaniel’s time in LA running out? To wrap it all up, NFL Media’s Lance Zierlein stops by to drop high-stakes knowledge on everything happening with the Houston Texans. Learn more about your ad choices.

| 10/2/26 | Is Week 4 an Elimination Week Already in the NFL? (feat. Arif Hasan) | It is only Week 4 in the National Football League but we already have some season-defining showdowns on tap this weekend. Can the Dallas Cowboys break through against the Houston Texans as the former AFC South favorites try and avoid falling to 0-4? Can either the Los Angeles Chargers or Rams come away with a win this weekend to ignite their seasons? How do the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos match up as possible Super Bowl contenders in their respective leagues? Plus, Trevor Lawrence and Joe Burrow face-off in a rematch of the 2020 National Championship Game to see where they stack up with each other, and where their teams measure up in the AFC race. We've also got our Week 4 selections for Picks Picks Picks, our Stress-Free Sunday picks, and Arif Hasan of Wide Left Football joins us to discuss which teams need a win the most in this pivotal Week 4.

| 9/28/26 |  Unfiltered Week 3: Medical Carts, Poll Bias, and USC Delusions | JJ McCarthy is a Giant, Deshaun Watson is actually popular in Cleveland, and Week 3 delivered absolute mayhem. We’re breaking down all the fallout with a stacked lineup of guests. Fox Sports’ Carmen Vitali joins to set the record straight on the Bears—including the real reason Soldier Field uses a cart to transport injured players. Then, Geoff Schwartz calls out USC for living in the past and blasts them for celebrating while Dante Moore was motionless on the field. Plus, we dismantle the latest AP poll and explain why its mix of bias and power ranking logic makes no sense. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices | 55m 31s | ||||||
| 9/25/26 | Ochocinco, Cleat Catastrophes, and Ross Tucker | It’s Episode 85—or as Chad himself would call it, the Ochocinco show. NFL analyst Ross Tucker stops by to explain why Chad Johnson is criminally underappreciated, while also breaking down why Matthew Stafford deserves way more respect. Then, Tony Calatayud explains why Brock Purdy has been an absolute nightmare for opposing defenses since day one. Plus, we break down a high-stakes week for LA: the Chargers desperately need a win, and the Rams need to put an end to a painful era. Finally, we head south to Brazil, where the Ravens and Cowboys better check their footwear before stepping onto the wildly questionable turf at the Maracanã. Learn more about your ad choices.

| 9/22/26 | Chaos in Week 2, Aaron Donald’s Return & Puka facts (Feat. JB Long) | A cataclysmic Week 2 is in the books, and we’re breaking down all the fallout—from Ja'Marr Chase's mind-bending catch to why the Trinidad Chambliss "too old as a rookie" narrative at 25 makes zero sense. We update the season-long Picks battle before bringing on L.A. Rams play-by-play caller JB Long to break down Aaron Donald's return, whether Puka Nacua is the ultimate Jenga piece to this offense, and why L.A.'s Melbourne trip feels like ancient history. Plus, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are playing at their absolute peaks, but can either finally lift a Lombardi? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices | 54m 07s | ||||||
| 9/18/26 | 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.

| 9/14/26 | 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!

| 9/11/26 | 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.
