Carolina Confidential is back, and Gerrell Wheeler is still heated after the Panthers’ gut-punch 20–17 loss to the Saints on Sunday—complete with a season sweep by a New Orleans team playing spoiler. Gerrell breaks down how Carolina let a must-win slip away (penalties everywhere, the late hit that everyone’s talking about, and missed chances long before that final drive), plus the frustrating reality of a true .500 team that looks playoff-ready one week and completely lost the next. Now the math is simple: the Panthers have made life harder, but the path is still there—beat the Buccaneers twice, handle business, and punch a ticket to the postseason for the first time since 2017.

Speed This Week is back on ForecastSports.com with your crew chief and driver Trey Rice—and this episode goes full throttle from a hilarious “mic too loud” start into the biggest NASCAR story of the offseason: the NASCAR vs. 23XI/Front Row Motorsports charter lawsuit settlement. Trey breaks down what the judge’s “y’all need to settle this” moment really meant, why permanent (evergreen) charters change the sport, how revenue-sharing and new voting power shift leverage toward teams, and why this could lead to more stable organizations, bigger investments, and better racing on the track. Plus, the guys hit the ongoing debate about NASCAR’s playoff format vs. old-school points, and detour into the chaos of a wild NFL season—including the Panthers’ messy division race and what it means when nobody seems to want the Super Bowl.

Conference championship weekend is in the books and The 2 Minute Drill with Jacari and Jamari is locked in on what comes next. The guys break down key matchups from the weekend, including Tulane vs. North Texas, Alabama vs. Georgia, Duke vs. Virginia, and Ohio State vs. Indiana, digging into momentum swings, questionable officiating, coaching decisions, and standout performances that shaped the road to the College Football Playoff.

In the second half, Jacari and Jamari react to the College Football Playoff bracket, debate seeding and snubs, unpack the ongoing Notre Dame drama, and give early predictions for the national title race. They also preview Army–Navy, discuss whether bowl games still matter, and make first-round playoff picks—highlighting potential upsets, Group of Five hopes, and which contenders are peaking at the right time.

College football may already be broken, but this week Yarbs and Will dig into the moment Duke, Notre Dame, and the ACC combined Voltron-style to shatter whatever was left of the system. From Notre Dame’s next-level pettiness—canceling book signings, refusing bowl invites, blaming everyone but themselves—to the committee’s nonsensical rankings, the guys break down why the sport feels more chaotic than ever and why even the BCS suddenly looks… competent?

The conversation widens into what the future of bowl games should be, how smaller programs like Tulane and JMU fit into the new 12-team playoff, and whether college football can ever return to what fans once loved. Then it’s on to Scoragami, bizarre NFL stats (including Jalen Hurts turning the ball over twice on one play), the Chiefs’ sudden collapse, and the Titans’ historic ineptitude. They wrap with “Get Off My Lawn” holiday rants (ugly sweaters, inflatables, talking mirrors, and spray-on snow), plus three-on-three of the worst Christmas decor known to mankind.

It’s smart, chaotic, petty, statistical, festive—and absolutely Breaking Sports.

On this episode of Throw Up Tackle, THE! Mario Washington, The DOK, and LJ go all the way in on the chaos of the College Football Playoff. The crew lights up Notre Dame for opting out of its bowl, questions how an independent program with no real signature wins thought it had a case, and breaks down why Miami belonged in the field before the Irish ever did. From ACC tiebreaker madness and a five-loss Duke in the title game, to SEC bias, TV-driven narratives, and conferences that no longer make geographic sense, they debate what a real national championship system should look like—expanded playoffs, capped conference sizes, real commissioners, and revenue sharing that actually fixes the sport.

Then they pivot to the NFL and it gets even wilder. The guys react to the Indianapolis Colts dragging Philip Rivers out of retirement and wonder how a Hall of Fame clock gets reset for a QB who hasn’t played in five years. They hit on Sheduer Sanders’ development and future, why the Chiefs look cooked, how violent and legit the Texans defense is under DeMeco Ryans, and what’s gone wrong with Jalen Hurts and the Eagles. As always, they close with their weekly picks, more jokes at Cowboys fans’ expense, and a healthy dose of controlled chaos—classic Throw Up Tackle.

On this episode of Carolina Confidential on the Forecast Sports Network, host Gerrell Wheeler breaks down where the Carolina Panthers stand coming out of the bye week and why the playoff race is suddenly very real in Charlotte. Sitting at 7–6 and ninth in the NFC, the Panthers are tied with Tampa Bay and still have both matchups with the Bucs ahead of them—meaning they fully control their own destiny in the NFC South. Gerrell walks listeners through the current NFC playoff picture, explains why Tampa holds the tiebreaker right now, and breaks down the common-opponent math that has the Bucs narrowly ahead in the standings.

From there, Gerrell turns up the urgency for this closing stretch. He explains why losing to the Saints a second time would be inexcusable, why practice habits have to change, and why Bryce Young simply cannot afford another lackluster performance with the playoffs “staring us right in the face.” With four games left—three of them in the division—Gerrell lays out what has to happen for Carolina to snap its playoff drought, what success would really look like the rest of the way, and why Sunday is going to be stressful for every Panthers fan riding this roller coaster to the finish.

Speed This Week with Crew Chief Will & Trey Rice breaks down a packed week across NASCAR and the wider sports world, blending industry insight with unfiltered opinion. Will and Trey dive into the ongoing NASCAR lawsuit and charter controversy, discussing why most of the leaked testimony matters less than the final outcome — and what it all means for teams, owners, revenue sharing, and the future health of the sport. From Michael Jordan and Joe Gibbs to the financial realities squeezing smaller teams, the conversation pulls back the curtain on how money, power, and opportunity truly shape NASCAR.

The episode also covers major offseason moves and storylines, including Nick Sanchez’s surprising split from Big Machine Racing, Rick Ware Racing’s switch to Chevrolet, and how manufacturer alliances could tip the competitive balance. Along the way, the guys touch on weather’s impact on racetracks, share a few offbeat “interesting facts,” and wrap things up with NFL playoff chatter, NFC South chaos, and college football playoff controversy. Insightful, blunt, and authentically fan-driven — this is Speed This Week at full throttle.

Jacari and Jamari are back on The 2 Minute Drill with the regular season in the rearview and Championship Week on deck. They open the show recapping a wild slate: Georgia grinding out a defensive win over Georgia Tech behind a dominant run game, Oklahoma barely hanging on against struggling LSU to keep its playoff hopes alive, Alabama surviving the Iron Bowl with a gutsy fourth-down call, and Cal shocking SMU to blow up the AAC title race and open the door for Duke.

Then they zoom out and dig into the chaos around the College Football Playoff picture and the coaching carousel. The guys debate Notre Dame’s résumé, BYU’s case, whether Vanderbilt is being disrespected, and what happens if two Group of Five teams crash the party—plus what it would mean for the ACC if Virginia or Miami can’t get in. They also touch on big coaching moves across the SEC and beyond before closing the show with their conference championship predictions, including JMU–Troy, Tulane–North Texas, BYU–Texas Tech, Georgia–Alabama, Duke–Virginia, and the heavyweight showdown between Ohio State and Indiana, with a little Heisman talk sprinkled in.

This week on Breaking Sports, Yarbs and Will reunite for the first time “in about three presidents,” kicking things off with holiday recovery, John Fox nostalgia, and one of the most absurd Notre Dame stat lines of all time. Then the guys dive headfirst into conference championship weekend—Duke vs. Virginia in the ACC, Georgia–Bama in the SEC, Ohio State–Indiana for the Big Ten title, and why BYU–Texas Tech just feels right. Along the way, they mix in everything from the Lane Kiffin soap opera to Kirby Smart’s dynasty, score-gami madness, the legend of the Dayton Triangles, and whether Denver and New England might be the most suspicious 10-win teams in NFL history.

In classic Yarbs & Will fashion, the show also wanders into the disappearing art of local radio, AI taking over game recaps, the chaos in Minnesota’s quarterback room, and even a debate on the greatest game shows ever made. They close the episode with “Get Off My Lawn,” three-on-three game show picks, and a long look at the baffling, entertaining roller coaster that is the Carolina Panthers—asking the question everyone’s asking: What exactly is this team?

This week on Speed This Week, the Crew Chief and Trey break down the opening days of the antitrust trial pitting 23XI and Front Row Motorsports against NASCAR. From Denny Hamlin’s emotional testimony and the soaring cost of charters to Commissioner Steve Phelps’ “stupid redneck” text about Richard Childress and NASCAR’s grip on the media narrative, they dig into what this all means for teams, fans, and the future of the sport.

Then the guys shift gears to the NFL, where Trey’s bold call about the Panthers upsetting the Rams comes true and Bryce Young looks like a different quarterback. They talk Carolina’s playoff path, what the Panthers should do with Bryce long-term, Lane Kiffin’s latest chaos, and why trying to watch every NFL game across 10 streaming platforms could run fans nearly $750 a year.
