Wondering how legit the Allen Robinson trade market is and deciding what in the opener was real and what was fake Sep 16, 2020

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are back in a parking lot for this Washington Football Talk, and they begin by looking at Washington's wideouts. That quickly leads into a discussion about Allen Robinson — would he fit with the Burgundy and Gold, should they try to get him and is there even really a chance for them to get him? After finishing that segment up, they move into a game of Real or Fake, as they try to figure out what parts of the opening win are going to continue and which parts won't. To close things out, they each decide whether they want to adjust their season record predictions based on Week 1 and then debut one of JP's best ideas ever. If you like podcasts where Mitch goes hard on a name-related topic and JP gets giddy over seeing some familiar faces, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: The Washington Football Team takes out Philly to begin their new era with an AWESOME win Sep 14, 2020

Show notes

This Washington Football Talk starts off with a bang, just like the 2020 season did on Sunday thanks to the franchise's giant win over the Eagles. JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey begin by yelling lots of positive things from the FedEx Field parking lot, before getting into more specific things that stood out to them from the opener, such as the fantastic pass rush and Dwayne Haskins' leadership. Eventually, they get into an impromptu new segment where they debate the Play of the Day before transferring to their always reliable Game Balls and Goats and over/under recap segments. The hosts continue to ooze happiness as things close with JP's tremendous speech on persevering and Pete stumbling through an ad read. While a lot seems to be changing with this organization, that will always remain. Once they sign off, you'll hear Ryan Kerrigan, Chase Young and Jimmy Moreland's postgame interviews, all of which aired on NBC Sports Washington's postgame TV show. If you like podcasts where the Lion King theme song gets broken out and JP comes up with a splendid Haskins nugget, then this is the episode for you. Enjoy this one, guys. We all deserve it.

One of the more fun pods of the year is back, and it begins with JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and beat legend Chris Kerwin standing in the Washington Football Team's Ashburn parking lot.

Once they wrap up, you'll hear JP walk around and ask/bother all of the other beat reporters the same questions, which leads to all sorts of shenanigans. If you like podcasts where Bullish Mitch is outdone by Newly Bullish Pete, then this is the episode for you.

CUTDOWN DAY POD: Everything you need to know about who made and who didn't make Washington's roster Sep 06, 2020

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are coming at you from JP's very pleasant driveway and have a 53-man roster to analyze.

Once those big topics are done, they then go through each of the position groups and pass on some rapid thoughts about every unit. If you like podcasts where JP and Pete both look back on times they tried to pass rush against Mitch and where Pete has maybe his most embarrassing botches ever, then this is the episode for you. The season is almost here :)

Kyle Brandt, the other half of that controversial Kirk Cousins interview, reacts to Kirk's thoughts (and covers other topics, too) Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

The Washington Football Talk pod prides itself on being timely, and few shows in our history will be as timely as this. Kirk Cousins is making major news with his opinion on the coronavirus and mask-wearing, and the person he delivered those opinions to, Kyle Brandt, was kind enough to join this operation to explain his interview with the QB. In Brandt's mind, people aren't paying attention to their entire back-and-forth. Allow him to expand. While Brandt's on, he also takes time to explain what he thinks the best-case season is for Washington and absolutely nails the franchise's ice cream flavor equivalent. In all, he was wildly entertaining. If you like podcasts where the guest has the exact same gambling preferences as the hosts, then this is the episode for you.

SPECIALIST POD II: Nick, Tress and Dustin join to celebrate camp's conclusion, preview 2020 and (virtually) hang out Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to the second annual end-of-camp/season preview pod featuring the Washington Football Team's lauded specialists: Nick Sundberg, Tress Way and Dustin Hopkins. Those three join JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey for another extravaganza in what's now officially a tradition for this show. During their hour-plus chat, the hosts asks the players about how weird camp was, Chase Young's ridiculously impressive frame, Dustin's equally impressive frame (at least in the eyes of JP), Ron Rivera's courage and consistency, who's going to break out this year and how much they'll miss the fans. As usual, the specialists were open, candid and hilarious, so you'll absolutely enjoy this one from start to finish. If you like podcasts where you get an exclusive look at all the things that piss Nick Sundberg off and where Tress Way explains a recent coronavirus test gone wrong, then this is the episode for you.

After that, you'll hear JP's 1-on-1 with Troy Apke, who might've been the MVP of Ashburn. If you like podcasts where Mitch transforms into a doctor and performs a knee test on JP and the hosts run through a bunch of random over-unders, then this is the episode for you.

If you like podcasts where Pete finally nails the segue into his ad read and Mitch breaks some news, then this is the episode for you.
