Any Given Sunday Australia – Grant Cohn | 49ers vs Rams Preview from Melbourne

The NFL has arrived in Australia, and Any Given Sunday Australia is joined by one of the biggest voices covering the San Francisco 49ers.

Recorded before the 49ers vs Rams Week 1 matchup at the MCG, we sit down with Grant Cohn, publisher of 49ers On SI and longtime San Francisco 49ers reporter, for an in-depth look at the historic season opener. Grant gives us the inside perspective on the 49ers heading into their first game of the season, including his concerns about San Francisco's offensive and defensive lines, the pressure on Brock Purdy, Kyle Shanahan's rivalry with Sean McVay, and whether the Niners can stay healthy enough to make another deep playoff run.

We also discuss the unique challenge of playing an NFL game on the other side of the world — and the very different approaches taken by the 49ers and Rams in preparing for Melbourne.

But this conversation goes well beyond football.

Grant has spent his first week in Australia embracing Melbourne, attending an AFL game at the MCG, discovering Tim Tams and Vegemite, sampling Melbourne coffee and kebabs, and attempting to understand why Australians are so obsessed with the AFL.

We talk about the NFL's future in Australia, why the 49ers have made such an effort to connect with Melbourne, the relationship between NFL reporters and players, and whether Grant might have accidentally become an AFL reporter along the way.

Plus: Marcus Bontempelli, Tom Papley, the Bont's latest critic, Vegemite hangover cures, and plenty of banter.

Recorded in Melbourne ahead of the historic 49ers vs Rams Week 1 matchup at the MCG.

NFL WEEK 1 WAS ABSOLUTELY INSANE! 🏈

Week 1 is officially in the books — and what. A. Week.

The boys are back to break down everything from a historic NFL Melbourne experience to the biggest surprises, shockers and overreactions from around the league.

🇦🇺 NFL MELBOURNE: Over 100,000 fans, packed trains, jerseys everywhere, tailgates at 6:30am and an atmosphere that proved just how big the NFL has become in Australia. We talk about the NFL getting Melbourne right, the incredible little Aussie touches, the international reaction and why this could be a massive moment for the sport Down Under.

🔥 49ERS 27 – RAMS 7: San Francisco absolutely dominated the Melbourne matchup. Brock Purdy impressed, the Niners won the battle in the trenches and the Rams looked like a team that had just travelled 15 hours across the world. Is San Francisco suddenly a serious NFC contender?

😳 CARDINALS STUN THE CHARGERS: Arizona pulled off one of the biggest upsets of Week 1. Are the Chargers already in trouble?

🚨 CALEB WILLIAMS GOES OFF: 59 points against Carolina, four total touchdowns and a performance that made Danny eat his preseason words. Are the Bears actually good?

🦁 SAINTS vs LIONS: New Orleans goes for it all in overtime — was it the right call?

🦅 EAGLES GET THE WIN: Philadelphia survives Washington as we discuss Jalen Hurts, DeVonta Smith, the new-look offense and whether the Eagles are really Super Bowl contenders.

💥 BILLS SURVIVE HOUSTON: Josh Allen and the Bills get the job done, while the defense shows some serious potential.

👀 GIANTS BEAT THE COWBOYS: Is New York suddenly the team to beat in the NFC East?

🧀 WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THE PACKERS? Green Bay blows a huge lead against Minnesota and the boys aren't happy.

🍔 TIGHT END BURGER BET: Tucker Kraft vs Dalton Kincaid gets its first Week 1 update.

Plus fantasy regrets, bold predictions, plenty of Melbourne memories and the usual Any Given Sunday bullshit.

Football is back. Week 2 can't come quick enough.

Jimmy Smith joins Any Given Sunday Australia for one of our best yarns yet.

From growing up in country NSW and accidentally choosing the University of Alabama because of some questionable advice from a mate, to falling completely in love with college football, discovering the insanity of Philadelphia sports fans and eventually making the leap from traditional media into the world of content creation — Jimmy's journey is anything but conventional.

We get stuck into Jimmy's time in the US, his connection to the NFL, the decision to back himself and leave radio behind, and what it's really like chasing a career in sports media on your own terms.

Then we get into the BIG stuff.

Jimmy gives us the inside word on the NFL's arrival in Melbourne, what he's seen from the 49ers and Rams, Kyle Shanahan, Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Mike Evans and the massive opportunity Australia now has to grow the game.

Plus, Jimmy reveals what really happened during his insane 36-hour Super Bowl trip with the Eagles — including the party, the Lombardi Trophy, Jordan Mailata and the decision that saw him turn down a certain pop superstar's after-party.

And of course, we couldn't let Jimmy leave without getting his early Super Bowl and MVP predictions for the season.

This one has it all — NFL, media, Super Bowls, Philly, Australia, FIFA, PlayStation, terrible golf and plenty of shit talk.

The NFL is officially taking over Melbourne — and with the Rams and 49ers arriving for the historic NFL Melbourne game this week, there couldn't be a better time to ask: why do Australians love American football?

In the latest episode of the Any Given Sunday Australia Summer Series, we sit down with one of Australia's best-known sports content creators, Jarra Davis, to hear his NFL story.

From discovering the game through Super Bowl 50 in Year 7, to becoming an NFL obsessive, creating content from his bedroom and eventually working in sports media, Jarra gives us a unique perspective on just how far the NFL has come in Australia.

We talk about what makes the NFL so addictive, the crossover between AFL and American football, the explosion of NFL content in Australia, and why the Melbourne game is such a massive moment for Australian fans.

And with the NFL literally landing in Melbourne this week, we get Jarra's thoughts on what this moment means for the sport — and where the NFL can go from here in Australia.

The game is here. The hype is real. And Australian NFL fandom is only getting bigger. 🇦🇺🏈

🎙️ Any Given Sunday Australia — the NFL show made for Australian fans.

WEEK 1 IS HERE! 🔥

The training camp bullshit is over. The preseason narratives are done. REAL FOOTBALL IS BACK.

The Any Given Sunday Australia crew are finally diving into Week 1, breaking down the biggest matchups, making some seriously bold calls and asking one very important question: who's actually ready to back up the hype?

We kick things off with a Super Bowl rematch as the Seahawks host the Patriots, including the pressure of Seattle raising its championship banner, Sam Darnold trying to prove last season wasn't a fluke, and whether Drake Maye can avoid the dreaded sophomore regression.

Then it's off to Cowboys vs Giants, where Jackson Dart, Dak Prescott, George Pickens and a potentially explosive Cowboys offence take centre stage.

And then there's Broncos vs Chiefs — Patrick Mahomes' health, a potentially vulnerable Kansas City side, and a Denver defence that could have a massive say in the AFC West race.

Plus, we hit plenty of other Week 1 games, including:

🏈 Ravens vs Colts
🏈 Bills vs Texans
🏈 Buccaneers vs Bengals
🏈 Vikings vs Packers
🏈 And plenty more

Who are we backing? Who's getting upset? Which games could turn into absolute shootouts? And which teams are about to remind everyone that Week 1 predictions are usually a terrible idea?

Football is back, boys.

Let's fucking go. 🏈🔥
