          • Ep. 74: Das Football, Ja?

            What looked like a mediocre slate of NFL games turned into one of our favorite weekends of the season… from the Germany game to CJ Stroud’s epic comeback to a heart-stopping NFC East showdown, we really were spoiled by Week 9’s twists and turns. So let’s fire off a couple hours of podcast goodness, featuring all the segments you know and love!

            • Ep. 73: Arthur Smith is a Visionary

              It was a very eventful NFL Sunday, as is the case whenever the league randomly decides to abstain from bye weeks in the middle of the season. We had a rash of injuries, some unexpected losses and a MetLife Stadium game for the front pages of all the history books. Let's talk football, shall we?

              • Ep. 72: Cotton Candy Pants

                Week 7 was upside-down world across the NFL. Awful teams won football games. Teams we thought were good looked like excrement. And Tyson Bagent won a game he started at quarterback. So we broke it all down, laughed more than usual and went on some epic side tangents. So, in other words, welcome to a vintage TMB episode!

                  Cale said it on the pod, so we'll say it in the description: one of the best weeks of football in recent memory?! Week 6 brought with it all sorts of twists and turns, chief among them the two remaining undefeated teams losing in dramatic fashion, so we naturally had to chef up a 2+ hour pod for all our loyal TMB sickos. We're making proclamations, celebrating old friends and in a few cases, eating some crow. Let's dive on in...
