Three & Out

Ty Schalter from FiveThirtyEight, Samantha Bunten of NBC Sports & Michael Schottey of Pickwatch.com get together for their every-Monday rundown of the NFL's weekend action.

Samantha wants to talk about the Mitchell Trubisky Revenge Game, as called by last week's Big Show guest Kevin Fishbain. Ty wants to preview the New Orleans Saints/Jacksonville Jaguars game, and what it means for the starting quarterback battle between Jameis Winston & Taysom Hill. Finally, Michael Schottey reacts to Vic Tafur's report that Jon Gruden and the Las Vegas Raiders called the Chicago Bears to ask about trading Khalil Mack BACK.

Kevin Fishbain, Chicago Bears beat writer for The Athletic Chicago and The Athletic's national site, joins the Three & Out crew to talk everything Bears: Rookie QB Justin Fields' battle with veteran Andy Dalton, HC Matt Nagy's battle to keep his job, and whether the defense can battle hard enough to keep the offense from ruining the season. Kevin also defines what he thinks a "successful" Chicago Bears season would even mean.

We also talk Dak Prescott's preseason (un)availability, the NFL's more strenuous ban of taunting, and the New York Giants' offensive line issues.

Matt Lombardo, national NFL insider for Fansided.com and G-Men HQ senior editor joins the Big Show to talk about the New York Giants, the NFL, Penn State and lots lots more.

Ty Schalter of FiveThirtyEight, Samantha Bunten of NBC Sports and new Pickwatch.com content director Michael Schottey also talk about all the latest NFL news, including Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich & general manager Chris Ballard getting two-year contract extensions, and Nate Burleson joining the CBS morning show.

ACTUAL FOOTBALL is happening, and of course Ty Schalter, Samantha Bunten & Michael Schottey are here to break it all down. Deshaun Watson makes a weird appearance at Texans camp, Josh Allen signs a GIANT new deal, and Schottey thinks next year's Pro Football Hall of Fame class will struggle to match up with this one.

The Three & Out crew talk Carson Wentz's injury, whether Nick Foles has some weird power over him, and Nick Chubb's new contract extension. We also round up the buzz around rookie quarterbacks Justin Fields, Mac Jones, and Trey Lance!

It's the midweek Big Show, and longtime Dallas Cowboys beat writer Clarence E. Hill, Jr. joins us to talk about the lack of off-field drama, the Malik Hooker signing, Dak Prescott, Mike McCarthy and the Cowboys' Super Bowl hopes.

We HAD to talk about Aaron Rodgers' five-alarm press-conference kicking off Packers camp, and Simone Biles' shocking withdrawal from the Olympics. Schottey brings up the last few unsigned rookies, and whether Trey Lance will make an impact for the San Francisco 49ers this year.

The Aaron Rodgers Saga is getting more dramatic as it builds to an epic conclusion. Vegas bookies suspending Packers-related betting over the weekend due to a rumored retirement announcement, and instead Rodgers' camp is leaking word that he's telling people he's coming back to Green Bay. Packers teammate and close friend David Bakhtiari says he's not been told anything. Michael Schottey wants to know what on Earth is going on.

Samantha Bunten wants to discuss Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson, his unclear situation, and how Roger Goodell and the NFL have failed almost everyone involved. Finally, Ty Schalter wants to discuss the LA Rams head coach Sean McVay hiring former Sports Illustrated and MMQB analyst Andy Benoit--and whether more teams out to be hiring more sports-media types like ourselves.

Reese Waters, stand-up comedian, TV talent and D.C.-area sports radio host, joins Three & Out to talk Washington Football Team, D.C. neighborhoods and stadiums, racial justice in the NFL, and how teams can be interesting despite being bad.

Ty Schalter brings up Deion Sanders walking out of SWAC media day over not being called "coach," Samantha wants to talk Tom Brady and the Buccaneers at the White House, and Michael Schottey wants to bury Nick Saban's rehashing of Drew Brees and the Miami Dolphins once and for all.

The Three & Out crew break down everything going on in the NFL as always on Mondays: Ty Schalter talks Olympics fails and the impacts of stadiums in cities, Samantha follows up on the Richard Sherman domestic-violence situation, and Michael Schottey wants to talk about Jalen Ramsey taking shots at Tom Coughlin.

Sad and upsetting news broke just before we recorded: All-Pro cornerback and NFL free agent Richard Sherman was arrested for "burglary domestic assault." Besides his time with the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers, Sherman is a player leader with the NFLPA. The Three & Out crew breaks down everything we know, and what it means.

Luke Easterling of Draft Wire & Bucs Wire becomes our first three-time guest, talking the 2020 & 2022 draft classes, as well as the Bucs' prospects in the NFC South this year.

Finally, we talk about Pro Football Reference adopting historical sack data, making Al "Bubba" Baker the single-season sack king, and whether Isaac Bruce & Torry Holt were better than Randy Moss & Cris Carter.
