About this episode

The episode features a character draft from Quentin Tarantino movies amidst discussions on football and sports films.

With so little going on in and around the National Football League these days, and Dave spending the week in Miami, we thought we'd switch things up a bit for a very special edition of Football America! Dave is joined by Jonathan Zaslow and Amin Elhassan for a move-centric episode that includes a discussion of some of the greatest football and sports movies of all time. After that, the gang dives into the main portion of the show: a draft of characters in Quentin Tarantino movies. The gang picks two characters for different categories including which character you would not want to have hunting you, and which character you would most like to go on a cross-country car trip with. Before that, Dave takes the time in his monologue to rail against the Pittsburgh Steelers for letting themselves leave the fate of this upcoming season in the hands of 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers.
