In the latest edition of Throwbacks, Matt Leinart and Jerry Ferrara tell you which NFL teams are most in need of a win heading into week 4. Also, we dive into Antonio Pierce’s comments regarding certain players on his Raiders team making “business decisions.” 

Plus, college football season is starting to take shape so with that, it’s time to unveil Leinart’s Leaderboard where Matt gives you his Heisman favorite, the team he believes is currently the best in the nation and the season’s biggest surprise thus far. On top of that, we’re joined by the one and only Josie Leinart who, in addition to being Matt’s wife, also happens to be a leading sports attorney that specializes in NIL law. She sheds some light Reggie Bush’s lawsuit and shares her perspective on Matt Sluka’s decision to sit out the remainder of UNLV’s season. 

Then, in the face of intense fan scrutiny, Matt is forced to address his highly controversial position that grown men should not wear players’ jerseys. Will he back down or double down? And to close it out, the guys discuss Shohei Ohtani’s historic regular season and lay out their lists of the top 3 most box office athletes in sports today.

Welcome to Throwbacks! In our debut episode, Matt Leinart and Jerry Ferrara get you set for the NFL's return by running through some of the season's big questions – which team is prime for a bounce back year, which offseason acquisition is most likely to pay off, which starting QB is destined to be benched and much much more! 

Then, actor Ashton Kutcher joins to share his outlook on one of the league’s most intriguing teams, his beloved Chicago Bears. Ashton goes deep into the franchise’s historical shortcomings at QB and reflects on Dennis Green’s memorable rant following Chicago’s Monday Night win over Matt’s Arizona Cardinals. Plus, Ashton reflects on his time as a high school defensive coordinator and explains just how seriously he coaches up his 7-year-old son’s flag football team.
