I’m your host Thomas Emerick and my guest is Sigmund Bloom, Footballguys co-founder and podcast luminary with shows The Audible and On The Couch that are key inspirations for the inception of this show.

Ray Delahanty (CityNerd) joins host Thomas Emerick to revisit the record-setting and ill-fated Seattle Mariners 2001 season, propelled on a spring night in Oakland by rookie right fielder Ichiro Suzuki. They also discuss league and divisional realignment that makes more geographic sense, with an eye toward how cities linked by intercity high-speed rail foster rivalries and buy-in from fans.

Returning guest Steven Ruiz (The Ringer) and host Thomas Emerick challenge you to find a more charmingly shambolic game, this late into an NFL postseason. Would Steven even imagine ranking Marc Bulger in the public sphere back in '03? Brock Purdy vibes.

Also, intrigue with Kurt Warner on the St. Louis sideline while his Amsterdam Admirals backup Jake Delhomme weathers the storm from The Greatest Show on Turf. Steve Smith throws crossovers at the Rams secondary, football's answer to Allen Iverson. Get him a big statue. It's January 2004, Panthers at Rams.

Derrik Klassen (Bleacher Report, Reception Perception) and host Thomas Emerick revisit a brutal one in Foxborough, if you're a Ravens fan like Derrik was until that weekend. Bill Belichick deep in his bag. Tom Brady making the right decisions. Joe Flacco gripping and ripping it down the sideline in the waning moments. And an ode to Ozzie Newsome. It's January 2015, Baltimore Ravens at the New England Patriots for a divisional round thriller in the 2014-2015 NFL playoffs.

Sam Monson (PFF NFL Show) and host Thomas Emerick trace the evolution of the pre-draft process from the 2014 NFL Combine. Will Aaron Donald check off those boxes? Is Mike Evans fast enough? And we re-run that year's draft, while extricating player-specific hindsight, to see if the Top 4 remains Jadeveon Clowney-Greg Robinson-Blake-Bortles-Sammy Watkins — holding off the ensuing parade of hits in this first round.

Eric Eager (SumerSports) joins host Thomas Emerick for a special Super Bowl rematch edition of Remember That Game. What does and doesn’t carry over as relevant. Eric's emotional rollercoaster down in Miami and finally seeing the Chiefs get one. What theories about these teams over the years proved correct and which assumptions eventually showed their flaws. A little meditation on post-monkey-off-back-fandom. All weaved in with key moments of this wild game.

Eager is vice president of research and development for SumerSports and co-host of the SumerSports Show. SumerSports aims to provide the best-in-class quantitative analysis aimed at creating precision in player acquisition and roster management in the NFL.

Native Cincinnatian Justin Edwards (4for4, PFF) joins host Thomas Emerick for the sick game that is revisiting another Bengals season lost to injury, this time the 2015 AFC wild card against Pittsburgh. But how close were they to pulling it off with AJ McCarron that day — perhaps if not for Vontaze Burfict’s illegal hit on Antonio Brown — and could Andy Dalton (thumb) have returned from injury the next week to lead Cincy in a wide-open field that season? Also, not lost is the gut punch of Joe Burrow (wrist) going down in 2023.
