NFL Week 3 gave us plenty to talk about.

On this episode of The Dime Coverage Podcast, Lincoln Parks, Lee Glass, and Doc Glass break down the teams that surprised us, the contenders beginning to separate themselves, and the coaching decisions that may have cost teams games.

We get into Kansas City's rise, what's happening with Minnesota, Philadelphia's latest performance, questionable game management, quarterback development, turnovers, defensive breakdowns, and which teams may have been exposed after three weeks.

And then there's the officiating.

Did a controversial flag bail out Patrick Mahomes? Are certain quarterbacks getting calls others don't? The crew debates the calls, the reactions from fans, and how officiating can change the complexion of a game.

Plus, we look ahead to Week 4 and discuss which teams need to make adjustments before early-season problems become season-long problems.

In this episode:
• Biggest surprises from Week 3
• AFC and NFC contenders
• Kansas City's early-season trajectory

On this episode of The Dime Coverage Podcast, Lincoln, Lee and Doc break down the biggest games on the Week 3 slate, make their picks, and debate which teams are contenders—and which ones still have serious questions to answer.

Can Buffalo keep rolling against the Chargers? Can the Jets’ defense shut down Detroit? Is C.J. Stroud good enough to get Houston back on track? Are the Jaguars legitimate AFC contenders? And when it comes down to it, are the Chiefs still the team everyone in the AFC has to go through?

We’re breaking it all down.

🔥 BIG QUESTIONS:

Are the Jets for real?

Can C.J. Stroud carry Houston while the defense gets itself together?

Are the Jaguars legitimate AFC contenders?

And are the Kansas City Chiefs still the team to beat in the AFC?

On this episode of The Dime Coverage Podcast, Lincoln Parks, Lee Glass, and Donald "Doc" Glass break down the biggest moments, controversial calls, injuries, and coaching decisions from the opening week of NFL action.

Was that really a fumble? Did questionable officiating change the outcome of games? And how much blame should quarterbacks take when their teams come up short?

The crew dives into the Falcons vs. Steelers matchup, examines the performances of the Rams, Bears, Bengals, and Cowboys, and discusses how injuries involving Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald could affect team strategies moving forward.

We also break down the impact of coaching adjustments, quarterback decision-making, and defensive turnovers while looking ahead to what these early performances could mean for the rest of the season.

Predictions & Season Outlooks

NFL Week 1 initial games gave us our first real look at who might be ready to contend, who still has work to do, and which preseason narratives may already need to be reconsidered.

On this episode of The Dime Coverage Podcast, Lincoln Parks and Lee Glass break down the biggest takeaways from the two early games of the week of the NFL season and look ahead to what could happen on Sunday with their Predictions.

The conversation starts with Seattle and an impressive performance that had Lincoln and Lee asking whether the Seahawks simply found another gear when they needed it.

From there, the guys examine the Patriots, their wide receiver situation, and how injuries could impact their offense moving forward. They also take a closer look at Christian Gonzalez, his defensive assignment, and why sometimes doing your job quietly can be just as important as producing a highlight-reel play.

Then it's on to San Francisco.

The 49ers appeared to flip a switch, and Lincoln and Lee discuss Brock Purdy's leadership, San Francisco's ability to execute its game plan, and why the best teams often look different once the games actually matter.

The guys also discuss quarterback performances, injuries around the league, defensive adjustments, travel challenges, coaching decisions, and some of the players they'll be watching closely heading into Week 2.

And of course, they make their predictions for the next slate of NFL games.

The NFL season is here, but before we get to the games, there’s a major debate happening around how football history is decided.

On this episode of The Dime Coverage Podcast, Lincoln Parks, Lee Glass, and Donald “Doc” Glass discuss changes to the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting process and whether voters should be required to publicly stand behind their selections.

Should Hall of Fame voting remain confidential, or does a decision this important deserve complete transparency?

The crew also gets into the physical and logistical challenges surrounding the NFL’s continued push into international markets. How much does overseas travel actually impact preparation, recovery, and performance?

Then we turn our attention to the field.

We preview Patriots vs. Seahawks, break down the latest chapter of the Rams vs. 49ers rivalry, discuss injuries involving players like Tyreek Hill and A.J. Brown, and examine how roster construction and coaching could determine some of the biggest games of the opening week.

Aaron Donald is officially back—and the Los Angeles Rams just became one of the NFL’s most dangerous teams.

Lincoln Parks, Donald “Doc” Glass, and Lee Glass break down what Donald’s return means for a Rams roster already built to make a championship run. Is Los Angeles now the team to beat? And with this much talent in place, would anything short of a Super Bowl victory make the season a failure?

Lee explains why Donald may feel more comfortable returning now that the defense has enough talent to prevent opponents from constantly double- and triple-teaming him. The crew also discusses Sean McVay’s leadership, the Rams’ roster construction, staying healthy, and the pressure that comes when an organization pushes all its chips to the center of the table.

The conversation then shifts to the backlash surrounding the Seahawks’ new owner after he acknowledged that he still watches the Pittsburgh Steelers. Is the criticism justified, or is the NFL audience making too much of an honest comment from someone with a longstanding connection to another franchise?

Finally, the crew debates CBS Sports’ ranking of every NFL wide receiver room. Are the Cowboys ranked too high? Where should the Bengals, Vikings, Rams, and Dolphins land? And are some teams being rewarded more for star power than actual depth?

Who has the best wide receiver room in the NFL—and are the Rams now officially Super Bowl or bust?

The rules of college and professional football are changing — but are they actually making the game better?

On this episode of The Dime Coverage Podcast, Lincoln, Lee, and Doc dive into the growing controversy surrounding NCAA eligibility rules, NIL money, conference politics, NFL player conduct, CTE, mental health, and player safety.

We break down how eligibility changes are creating ripple effects throughout college football, why coaches like Lane Kiffin are taking advantage of the rules available to them, and how NIL has completely changed the way athletes approach college sports.

The conversation also turns to the NFL, where legal issues, player behavior, ownership accountability, injuries, and the long-term effects of repeated head trauma continue to raise difficult questions about the future of football.

Can leagues demand accountability from players while sometimes giving owners a different standard? Does earning millions of dollars change how fans should view an athlete's mental health struggles? And are enough changes being made to protect football players before they ever reach the NFL?

We get into all of it.

🏈 NCAA eligibility changes and their impact on college football
💰 How NIL money has changed player decision-making
🎓 Redshirting, roster management, and player development
🔥 Lane Kiffin's approach to navigating NCAA rules
🏆 Conference politics and playoff implications
⚖️ NFL legal issues and player conduct
💵 Whether owners and players are held to different standards
🧠 CTE, traumatic brain injuries, and NFL player safety
❤️ Mental health and the pressure placed on professional athletes
👦 Why player safety may need to begin at the youth football level
🔮 What future sports governance and NCAA reform could look like

Is using an NCAA loophole wrong if it is completely legal?

Has NIL improved college sports — or created a new set of problems?

Should millionaire athletes receive the same empathy regarding mental health as everyone else?

Are professional leagues doing enough to address CTE?

Should owners be held to the same behavioral standards as players?

And ultimately — are the rules protecting the athletes, or protecting the business of sports?

“Lane Kiffin is playing fair within the rules.”

“Money talks, man, and owners are above the law.”

“A quarter of NFL players who die have CTE.”
