From NFL chaos to college football fireworks and Arizona sports heat, this episode is packed. Grab your drink and join the ride!

The S3 Podcast is back with a jam-packed sports weekend! From NFL suspensions and trades to the Diamondbacks’ tough road ahead, we’re breaking it all down. We hit the NASCAR Playoffs at Darlington, road course action in Portland, and preview College Football Week 1 with THREE Top 10 showdowns—including whether the #1 team in the country is about to take an early loss.

We’re also keeping it local with ASU’s season opener, plus history in the WNBA as Alyssa Thomas sets a triple-double record. Oh, and you know it wouldn’t be The S3 without some “Nailed It!” karaoke chaos and a few groan-worthy dad jokes along the way.

Crack a cold one and hang out with JD & Lady M—sports talk just got a whole lot more fun.

It’s a loaded episode of The S3 Podcast—and we’re coming in hot with headlines, humor, and plenty of sports takes.

We kick things off with the release of the Top 25 College Football Coaches Poll, where Arizona State comes in at #11, making them the top-ranked team in the Big 12. Over in the NFL, Jordan Love’s thumb is under the knife but expected back by Week 1, while fantasy football season is officially upon us—we break down our must-haves, middle-round gold, and late-round risks you’ll either love or regret.

The Diamondbacks stay hot thanks to back-to-back 9th-inning bombs by Ketel Marte, but they still sit six games out of a Wild Card spot. The question is… can they ride this wave through the Rockies and back into contention?

We also preview Mercury vs. Aces in a must-watch WNBA showdown, check in on the Arizona Cardinals as they head to Denver, and give our take on Kyler Murray’s panic meter and Marvin Harrison Jr.’s expectations in Year 2.

Plus: NASCAR news and notes from Richmond, and of course—another chaotic round of NAILED IT featuring JD’s questionable vocals and classic rock trivia.

Micah Parsons and Terry McLaurin both want out, the Panthers change their preseason tune, and the NFL season officially begins with the Hall of Fame Game. We break down the Arizona Diamondbacks' full fire sale at the trade deadline—and what it means for their brutal losing streak and playoff hopes.

Plus: NASCAR heads to Iowa, JR Motorsports is on a tear, and JD attempts to destroy your eardrums again with another round of NAILED IT! karaoke.

Hit play for headlines, dad jokes, and all the sports chaos you can handle.

NFL training camps are underway—and so are the contract disputes. From rookies like Shemar Stewart to stars like Micah Parsons and Terry McLaurin, players across the league are either holding out or holding in. We’ve also got a tough update from Jets camp as QB Justin Fields goes down with a toe injury.

In other headlines: Shohei Ohtani continues his record-breaking tear, NASCAR makes military history with a 2026 race at Naval Base Coronado, and the world says goodbye to wrestling legend Hulk Hogan.

We break down the D-Backs' disappointing post-All-Star homestand, preview their road trip, and ask the question on every fan’s mind—buyers or sellers at the deadline?

We also check in on the D-Backs’ postseason push and the upcoming Kids Free Weekend at Chase Field, while “The Internet Is Forever” segment introduces us to a would-be chocolate assassin, a Ronald McDonald heist, and a meth-fueled sightseeing train operator in Florida. We ask: when should owners stop paying for potential and start paying for performance? Then we wrap it all up with JD’s classic rock sing-along disaster, NAILED IT. Don’t miss it!

On this episode of The S3 Podcast, JD and Lady M deliver another round of Headlines & Horrible Dad Jokes, covering the Phoenix Mercury’s WNBA All-Star duo, DeAndre Ayton’s move to the Lakers, Dak Prescott’s return to full strength, and an epic walk-off inside-the-park homer from the Giants' Patrick Bailey.
