Jake is back with a free-form solo episode, no notes, just an audio journal of thoughts. The balance between production and authenticity, a bit of a re-introduction to what the JBSE is intended to be, a nostalgic look back at British Football Weekly, and how Jake came to fall in love with sport through the magical arts of sports-writers.

Jake is thrilled to be joined for a second time in seven days by the Pharaoh of A Football World, Mr. John Turner! They spend a good hour breaking down some of the finer points of John's most recent article on how the XFL can change the game if they play their cards right. There's discussion on the incredible branding power of The Rock, what we can learn at Radio Row ahead of the Super Bowl, how and why John believes the XFL must expand to a 16 team format, and why the Toronto Argonauts and a franchise in Mexico City should be a major part of that expansion! There's also some chatter about the evolution of the sport in America, and what league and player recruitment models we may see in the near future!

On this episode of The JBSE, Jake is joined by afootballworld.com writer Ryan Brackenridge! Ryan joins the show to chat about his latest article “A Bracketed Perspective: Tua’s Time”. The conversation ranges from Tua learning to throw left-handed, his entry into the NFL, why he is unfairly judged against the success of others, and what the Dolphins can do to help him succeed in 2022 and beyond! All that, and more!

Jake is back, and he's ready to ramble on about some cricket! First up it's Australia's victory in the T20 World Cup Final against New Zealand (cue sad music), and then it's onto South African domestic cricket and a brilliant triple hundred scored by Eastern Cape Iinyathi's Jason Niemand.

Jake returns, and there's a lot to get to! First off we revisit the Steelers vs Lions game from 1992, then it's onto the T20 World Cup Semi Finals, with classics in New Zealand vs England and Pakistan vs Australia! Finally, it's a crazy upset in Thursday Night Football as the Dolphins say "so long and thanks for all the fish" as they defeat the Ravens in Miami!

Jake is back to talk about Week 9 in the NFL, the statistical validation of what our eyes told us about Jalen Hurts against the Chargers, and it's time for the T20 World Cup Semi Finals with England vs New Zealand and Pakistan vs Australia!

Jake returns to recap South Africa's bittersweet victory over previously undefeated England at the T20 World Cup, and how this South African side successfully changed the narrative of the team's performance at World Cups, despite missing out on the semi-finals.

Jake is joined by the Great Oklahuman, David Vaughn, to break down exactly what the f*ck happened in the first official CFP Ranking, and how the Cincinnati Bearcats and UTSA Roadrunners could suffer so much disrespect. After dealing with the absurdity of a 5 - 3 Mississippi State team being ranked in the Top 25, Jake and David cast their eyes to the distant horizon of times yet to come, as they imagine possible futures for the sport of College Football, and more!

Jake is back and he's joined on this episode by longtime brother from another mother, Johnny Larkin, who stops in to talk about his obsession with F1 racing! They talk about how Johnny became an F1 fan, how the F1 circuit works, the rivalries between the drivers on each team, dirty air and tire destruction, greatest races Johnny has watched, favourite drivers, and the massive changes coming to F1 in 2022! There's also time to get Johnny's preview of this weekend's Mexican Grand Prix!
