The Regulars

This episode breaks down a chaotic sports week: the on-field feud between Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers during Thursday Night Football, and a deeper look at the Browns’ win and how media coverage treated Deshaun Watson’s return.

We dig into political fallout over the Protect College Sports Act and which senators supported it, plus hot takes on WNBA playoff drama (A'ja Wilson vs. Caitlin Clark), Tony Romo’s exit from CBS, and Brian Flores’ defensive masterclass with the Vikings.

Finally, we preview Week 4 NFL matchups, celebrate the surprising Raiders, and riff on how sports, media and politics are all colliding right now.

The Regulars break down a batshit NFL Week 3 full of comebacks, horrendous performances and surprising upsets — from Lamar Jackson’s Rio game-winning drive to Josh Allen’s meltdown and Justin Herbert/Chargers questions.

They also cover the start of the MLB playoffs (including the White Sox/Pope storyline and key postseason matchups) and Nick Saban’s controversial TV tour defending the Protect College Sports Act, breaking down what it means for college athletes and the sports business.

The Regulars break down Thursday Night Football, highlighting Michael Penix Jr.’s impact and Bijan Robinson’s dominant performance, while criticizing the Packers’ coaching. They then deep-dive into MLB’s looming lockout and the pivotal 60-game threshold that could affect broadcast deals and potential salary cap changes. Draymond Green’s call to eliminate salary caps after the Kawhi controversy sparks debate, and the WNBA playoffs and Sean Payton's bullshit round out Media Corner. And a spirited Pop Culture corner dives in the NYT's Top 100 TV Shows of the 21st Century. 

A chaotic Week 2 recap: Jalen Hurts’ late heroics, Chiefs win in OT, shocking coach decisions, major quarterback injuries (Caleb Williams, Jaxson Dart, Jayden Daniels), plus the viral Ole Miss revenge on Lane Kiffin, Tom Brady's viral broadcasting moment and a drunken Rose Bowl night for The Regulars.

Josh Allen just put together a five-touchdown performance — but why does the conversation around him feel so different from the way other elite quarterbacks are discussed? The Regulars break down Allen's monster performance, Al Michaels' claim that Allen may be the best quarterback runner ever, and the way Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts and other quarterbacks are evaluated differently. They also get into the growing uncertainty surrounding MLB, the MLBPA and the possibility of a labor fight, the latest controversy involving Congress and the WNBA, and Dan Orlovsky's comments comparing Jalen Hurts and Justin Herbert. Then they zoom out and talk about PFF, quarterback narratives, racial bias in sports media, and how the modern sports-media industry shapes the way fans see players.

The Regulars recover from a technical meltdown to recap NFL Week 1 — big plays, surprise performances (Caleb Williams, Lamar Jackson, Kenneth Walker), team concerns (Rams, Broncos, Chargers), and hot takes on stars like Josh Allen and Justin Herbert. The episode also dives into heated media and cultural stories: Robert Kraft’s role in removing Macklemore from Ed Sheeran’s tour, sports betting and league responses, the Protect College Sports Act controversy, and broadcast critiques. 

The hosts navigate technical issues and open with somber memories of 9/11 before diving into chaotic NFL starts: the Rams’ disastrous trip to Australia, a sloppy Patriots-Seahawks rematch, and quarterback debates. They also discuss LSU’s scandal avoidance, Shohei Ohtani’s injury saga and the very odd choice for Colin Cowherd to label Sophie Cunningham a sex symbol... to her face. 

The Regulars rant through a chaotic episode covering the Western Michigan–Michigan clock controversy, the convoluted SEC–LSU legal drama, rising team valuations and gambling influence, NFL power-rankings skepticism, and international basketball concerns.

The skepticism about institutions reshaping sports is a main focus as we parse through manipulation, misleading narratives, and the growing power of money.

On this episode The Regulars tackle a week of big sports shakeups: Pablo Torre's reporting on the Clippers is proven right after the NBA hands down historic penalties, ESPN's reporting and insider culture come under fire, and rules around the Pro Football Hall of Fame are overhauled following the Belichick snub.

They also break down LSU's legal mess over player eligibility, debate the Dianna Russini coverage controversy, react to Jazz Chisholm and the unwritten baseball rules, note changes in the WNBA and Dodgers investigations, and cap it off with pop-culture chat about Lanterns.

The Regulars react to college football controversies around LSU and eligibility rules, the sale of the Los Angeles Angels to Stan Kroenke, Aaron Donald’s NFL return, and Colin Kaepernick’s kneeling anniversary. They also discuss media moves, reality TV casting trends, and Tony Romo’s public apology.
