A weekend without football doesn’t mean the crew is lacking in things to chat about and yell at each other about. After Drew goes over his trip to AZ, forgetting when his flight was, and getting hit in the head with a golf ball, and Des gets to brag about her new ride, they dive right into the hiring and firings of coaches around the league. They preview the NFL Honors, the Pro Bowl and OH YEAH THE SUPER BOWL IS COMING UP.

Of course the crew previews the big game the best they can. Do the Patriots have any chance at upsetting the Seahawks? Drew looks at some stats and Des relies on Punxsutawney Phil and what color jerseys the Patriots are gonna wear. Drew also throws a hail mary and attempts to climb back in the lead with the Primetime Picks and most importantly, will Charlie Puth keep the National Anthem under two minutes?

Des and Drew are fresh off a plane from Denver after Des watched the season of her favorite team in the whole wide world blow away like the snow in the second half of the AFC Championship game. Her tears have thawed and dried away and she’s fine… until about two thirds of the way into the pod. The crew breaks down all of the shenanigans traveling to Denver for the game brought, plus obviously the game itself…if Des is up for it. 

Drew does get into like three seconds of Dolphins news, some of the new coaching hires, plus a recap of the NFC Championship game and if the Patriots stand ANY chance against the Seahawks. Also don’t ever sit next to Drew on a plane, or in an elevator, or see him in public in any way because he will go out of his way to talk to you.

Although the Broncos season is over, doesn’t mean Sportzball’s is! We will be breaking down all things NFL news until the draft (end of April). So hang around, let’s talk football, and probably talk a lot of incorrect football.

Des and Drew are in a strange and scary place known as a PROFESSIONAL PODCAST STUDIO! Once they let the excitement of this new place settle down they attempt to get into all the craziness that went down this week in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Well, not before Drew tells not one but two stories of needing Des to pull over cause he’s going to puke. Oh and Des hates Smokey the Bear.

But after that, the crew gets into all the coaching changes as teams start making their new hires and even one more coach got the axe. Drew quickly goes over the Dolphins new head coaching hire, Jeff Hafley before they really get into the meat of the episode: Denver’s epic overtime victory over the Bills and the tragic news of Bo Nix’s season ending injury. The crew then dives into the rest of the Divisional Round craziness including the Seahawks beatdown of the 49ers, The Cardiac Bears’ Cinderella story falling short, and Des is REALLY upset with CJ Stroud.

Episode 27 starts off PIPING hot with the news of Mike Tomlin stepping down as the Steeler’s Head Coach after 19 seasons right as Drew and Des sit down to record. After Des convinces Drew that they’re not recording with ESPN in the background, they get straight into NFL news with all the head coaching vacancies, and how McDaniel is doing since his surprise firing and check in on Vance Joseph and the other Broncos staff that are interviewing for coaching jobs.

They then get into one of the best Wild Card Weekends that has ever happened in the history of ever with last minute wins, come from behind victories, and one of the biggest underdogs in playoff history nearly pulling off an upset - and that was just Saturday. The Bears and Patriots were the only home teams to win, we could have watched Aaron Rodgers’ final snap as a football quarterback (thank GOD), and can Eagles fans chill TF out??

After Des and Drew go over all the craziness, they preview the Broncos Bills matchup and get their picks in for all of the remaining playoff games. Also we find out about Des’ “friend” who is obsessed with electromagnetic fields, learn a bit about Troy and greek mythology, and Drew really loves Cheerios.

!!EMERGENCY POD!!

The Dolphins have fired Head Coach Mike McDaniel on Thursday marking the end of a four year experiment. The Sportzball crew drops everything to give their take on the firing. Des just sits back and watches Drew talk himself in and out of spiraling into oblivion as he looks into the future of his team.

And with that, the 2025 regular season comes to an end. Wow Sportzballers, what a time this season was. A podcast was started, we followed two teams throughout a grueling NFL season but now it’s time to reset and get ready for - what? What’s that? The Broncos are still playing games? Oh ok, well the Dolphins season was fun right? 

That’s right the Broncos get to kick their feet up and get ready for their Divisional Round playoff game next week while the Dolphins begin their offseason unsure of who their QB is going to be and with no GM. Tua says it would be “dope” to get a fresh start somewhere else and Drew helps him with his bags and opens the door for him. Meanwhile Des tells everyone to stop hating on the Broncos and give them the respect they deserve. League Ke$hup looks at all the head coaches we lost on “Black Monday” and some of their potential replacements. Plus the crew looks at the devastating Ravens’ loss and previews all the upcoming Wild Card Playoff Games.

Des and Drew survived the holiday season, barely, and are back in studio and already driving each other crazy. Speaking of driving, Drew drove to Arizona to visit his girlfriend’s family and got a flat tire and Des couldn’t focus on football cause she was learning how to be an aunt.

As far as football goes, Drew is feeling good about Quinn Ewers and Mike McDaniel on the Dolphins and is pretty sure he’s seen the last of Tua in a Dolphin’s uniform. But none of that matters cause the Broncos are AFC West champs baby! Even though it may have not been the dominant beat down Des wanted, the Broncos swept the Chiefs and are on the verge of clinching the number one seed in the AFC, things are looking good.

Drew is wrong, yet again. He meant Kirk Herbstreit, not Lane Kiffin, with the golden retriever named Peter. Des is debating if she should ever trust him again.

Then the crew goes over a crazy week 17 that sets up an even crazier final week of the season. Will the 49ers or the Seahawks win the 1 seed in the NFC? Why would it be a good thing for the Panthers if they lost against the Buccaneers? Will the Broncos clinch the number one spot in the AFC against the Chargers? Will the Ravens take down Des’ arch nemesis Aaron Rodgers? And can Drew’s Dolphins do the entire NFL a solid and defeat the Patriots?? Everyone cancel your weekend plans, we got a BIG weekend of football ahead.

There were a lot of firsts this week for the Sportzball crew. Des saw her Broncos lose for the first time since September. Drew saw someone other than Tua throw the ball for Dolphins. Des got onto Empower field for the first time. Quinn Ewers started his first NFL game. Des was in attendance for the Broncos loss… oh wait no that’s happened before please for love of God don’t remind Des. 

But we don’t need to worry about that! It’s the holiday season and Drew and Des are doing their damnedest to stay cheery. Drew is used to losing so that’s not much of a surprise there but he does get to get into the new little QB drama that’s brewing in Miami and how Tua can’t win in his eyes. Des gets into her experience being at the game, how much she thinks Trevor Lawrence looks like an Easter Island statue mixed with Prince Charming from Shrek 2. She’s also got a big ol bone to pick with the refs. 

Around the league lots of insane comeback and overtime wins to get into including Rams/Seahawks & Bears/Packers and that was all before Sunday’s games even started. We had Grandpa Rivers trying his 44-year-old hardest to keep the Colts alive and the Chiefs lost to…the Titans??? Starting QBs are dropping like flies and is Drew ok with players punching fans? The answer…won’t surprise you.

Well, The Winner’s Warehouse got a little less full this week at Sportzball HQ. The Dolphins fell from their four game winning streak and were officially eliminated from playoff contention. So Drew is doing FINE. He doesn’t think anything is wrong. What’s the first stage of grief again? Oh yeah, denial. But before the crew gets into that they talk about their weekend holiday party, Des and Broncos For Dummies being on the news, and why Drew continues to have horrible ideas.

But yes, we have to talk about the Dolphins game and how much Drew can’t stand watching Tua play football. The good news is he has a massive contract that is near impossible to get out of so… BLOW IT UP as Drew says.

The Broncos is where the real fun is had as the crew discusses their historic winning streak, clinching the playoffs, and how more and more respect needs to be put in Bo’s name. Oh and what the hell should this elite defense be called cause “Orange Rush” is not it.

League Ke$hup brings us talks about major injuries to Patrick Mahomes and Micah Parsons and if the Chiefs Dynasty is over. Plus Joe Burrow finally gets shut out, Myles Garrett is the only thing the Browns have, and Josh Allen throws up every game??

Y’all. It’s our fourth consecutive Winner’s Warehouse in a row. That’s redundant because consecutive means in a row. Whatever. The vibes are high at Sportzball HQ. Before the crew gets into football they talk for way too long about love languages and how to perform a doggy DNA test but don’t worry they get to football eventually… sort of. 

The Broncos have won 10 in a row and the Fins are right on their heels snagging their 4th win in a row and 5 out of their last 6. So vibes are HIGH. Well sort of. Des is playing a bit hurt today but that’s fine it won't stop her from shouting from the rooftops that the Chiefs reign is DONE and the Broncos are here to stay. The Dolphins have a running game behind De’Von Achane and even if he’s hurt, they’ve got Jaylen Wright and Prince Ollie Gordon right behind him. Tua is… well he’s fine but he didn’t throw a pick AND he won for the first time in sub 46 degree weather so look out MVP Tua might be back.

As we fly on up to a Mile High, the Broncos were bored playing with the lowly Raiders. They scored on their opening drive for the first time all season and watched as Marvin Mims directed traffic as he went for his first punt return touchdown of his career. Des is finally confident that this win will shut up all the haters and doubters and show that Bo Nix and the Broncos are here to stay. 

Around the league, teams are sinking and sinking hard. The Eagles, Chiefs, Colts, Commanders, and Ravens are nothing like they were last year and the beginning of this year so what is happening? Do they all need a positivity bunny in their locker room? Maybe not ‘cause we don’t think that works. Plus Des and Drew keep losing at betting but Des has a guy on the inside so maybe that’ll change soon.
