Breaking The Huddle

Breaking The Huddle – Episode 1: The State of Sports

We're officially breaking the huddle! In our debut episode, John, Isaac, and Ryan introduce themselves, talk about the teams they follow, and explain why they decided to start this podcast.

We dive into the current state of the NFL, discuss the upcoming November 10th trade deadline, potential trade candidates, and which teams are most desperate to make a move. Are the Chicago Bears legitimate Super Bowl contenders? Who has been the biggest disappointment this season, and what has surprised us the most?

Then we shift to the NBA, breaking down the early MVP race, Victor Wembanyama's ridiculous start, and whether the Indiana Pacers should be concerned about their season.

We also get into the sports card hobby, including the release of Topps Flagship Basketball, PSA's new $40 Value grading tier, whether CGC is a legitimate competitor to PSA, and if collectors should be rethinking their trust in the grading industry. Plus, October 2026 makes hobby history with more than $1 billion in reported card sales!

To wrap things up, we each answer one question: If you had $100 to invest in one football or basketball player for sports cards, who would you pick and why?

Sports, sports cards, honest opinions, and plenty of debates. No filters, no holding back. Welcome to Breaking The Huddle!
