Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the Bengals’ struggles without Joe Burrow and the potential quarterback trade options, the Commanders, the Dolphins’ first victory overshadowed by Tyreek Hill’s season-ending injury, whether the Jets’ 0-4 start justifies calls to fire head coach Aaron Glenn and more.

Since Joe Burrow’s injury this season, the Cincinnati Bengals are 1-2 in games without him so far (a loss to Minnesota, a win vs. Jacksonville, and a 28-3 loss to Denver last night). If the Bengals made a move for a quarterback, would you rather trade for Russell Wilson or Kirk Cousins?

The Atlanta Falcons defeated the Washington Commanders 34-27 over the weekend. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. had a standout performance, completing 20 of 26 passes for 313 yards and two touchdowns. The Falcons' offense rebounded impressively after a previous shutout loss, totaling 435 yards. With this victory, the Falcons improved their record to 2-2, while the Commanders fell to 2-2. How does Kmac feel about his Commanders?

The Miami Dolphins secured their first win of the 2025 season last night with a 27-21 victory over the New York Jets. However, the win was overshadowed by a significant injury to star receiver Tyreek Hill, who was carted off the field in the third quarter after posting 67 receiving yards on six catches. Hill is likely out for the year after dislocating his knee while also tearing multiple ligaments in his knee including his ACL. How will this impact the Dolphins?

Justin Fields had a solid outing, throwing for 226 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for 81 yards and another score. Garrett Wilson contributed with 82 receiving yards and a touchdown, and Breece Hall added 111 total yards.With the loss, the Jets drop to 0-4. Some are calling for Jets head coach Aaron Glenn’s job. Is there hope for the Jets? Is Aaron Glenn the right man to turn the Jets around? Is it fair to call for Glenn’s job already?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the current state of the Baltimore Ravens football team.

The Baltimore Ravens are 1-3 this season and sit at the bottom of the AFC North division tied with the Cleveland Browns. The Ravens also have piled up quite a few injuries including a hamstring injury to their quarterback Lamar Jackson. Is there any hope for the Ravens? Is their season already over?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss whether Alabama’s #10 ranking in the AP Poll is fair or overrated, along with the accuracy of the top 25 college football rankings.

Over the weekend, the Alabama Crimson Tide secured a 24-21 victory over the Georgia Bulldogs in Athens, Georgia, ending Georgia's 33-game home winning streak. Alabama’s win over Georgia propelled them back into the top 10 of the AP Poll (#10). How does Reese feel about Alabama’s ranking? Is Alabama ranked too high, too low or just right? Is the top 25 college poll accurate?

Reese, Kmac, Pam, and Alex discuss the controversial events and fan misconduct Rory McIlroy faced at the 2025 Ryder Cup.

Rory McIlroy is currently making headlines for both his on-course success and off-course controversies, particularly surrounding the 2025 Ryder Cup. McIlroy played a key leadership role in helping Team Europe secure a 15-13 victory over the United States at Bethpage Black. However, the event was marred by fan misconduct. McIlroy condemned the behavior of some American spectators, describing it as "unacceptable" and "abusive." He revealed that his wife, Erica, was struck by a beer thrown from the crowd, highlighting the escalating hostility during the tournament. His comments have sparked broader conversations about the need for higher standards of sportsmanship and respect in golf.

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss if Shedeur Sanders is better than some NFL quarterbacks.

Last week, Shedeur Sanders made headlines after confidently stating that he's “capable of doing better” than some current NFL starting quarterbacks, despite not yet seeing regular-season action. His comments appear to have rubbed some people the wrong way. The Cleveland Browns’ quarterback situation has Sanders currently sitting behind veteran Joe Flacco and rookie Dillon Gabriel on the depth chart. Did he do something wrong? Is Sanders better than some NFL quarterbacks?

The Kansas City Chiefs secured a commanding 37-20 victory over the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium yesterday. The Ravens initially took the lead with a strong opening drive, but the Chiefs responded effectively, taking control in the second quarter and maintaining it thereafter. Quarterback Lamar Jackson exited the game in the third quarter due to a hamstring injury after being sacked by Chiefs defensive end George Karlaftis. Prior to his departure, Jackson completed 14 of 20 passes for 147 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, while also rushing for 48 yards.

The Carolina Panthers were defeated yesterday by the New England Patriots with a final score of 42-13. The Panthers' offense struggled, with Bryce Young managing only 150 passing yards and one touchdown, and backup Andy Dalton adding a late score. The loss drops the Panthers to 1–3 on the season.

Pam, Hump and Alex discuss the Packers vs Cowboys game, Jaxson Dart's NFL debut and more.

The New York Giants secured their first win of the 2025 NFL season with a 21-18 victory over the previously unbeaten Los Angeles Chargers. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, making his debut in place of the benched Russell Wilson, led the team with 111 passing yards, 54 rushing yards, and two total touchdowns.

Pam, Hump and Alex discuss AJ Brown, the Eagles win, Packers vs Cowboys and more.

Virginia Tech pulled off a 23–21 road win in Raleigh, handing NC State a tough loss. What went wrong for NC State?

The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-25 over the weekend. The Eagles jumped out to a strong lead, going up 24-10 by the third quarter. Quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for two touchdowns and added one on the ground, helping Philadelphia maintain control for most of the game. With the victory, Philadelphia remained unbeaten on the season. However, the real story is A.J. Brown. After the Eagles’ win over the Buccaneers, he declined to speak to reporters, instead posting cryptic tweets, including a Bible verse (Mark 6:11) and a message, “I Love yall with all My heart,” which many viewed as him expressing something deeper without directly saying it. AJ Brown is one of the best receivers in the NFL. Brown has roughly 12 catches on the season through four games. Does AJ Brown have a problem with Jalen Hurts? Despite being undefeated, are the Eagles in trouble?

The Dallas Cowboys vs Green Bay Packers game ended in a wild 40-40 tie last night. Both teams traded scores throughout regulation and overtime, ultimately settling for a rare tie after neither could pull ahead in the extra period. What happened?
