Three things to care about in Redskins-Cowboys and discussing the likelihood (or lack thereof) of Bruce Allen staying in charge Dec 26, 2019

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are well-rested after the holiday and back with a present for you: a new Redskins Talk. To begin, they each identify one storyline to care about in Redskins-Cowboys, a game that really doesn't matter much, at least in regards to the outcome. Then, they enter a Bill Callahan conversation, wondering if there's any chance he returns as the head coach in 2020. That leads into another Bruce Allen chat, where the hosts try to put percentages on the likelihood of Bruce Allen keeping his same position, receiving a new position or being forced out entirely. Once they wrap up their portion of the pod, you get two 1-on-1s from JP, one with Bill Callahan (22:26) and one with Ryan Anderson (29:12). If you like podcasts where Mitch blatantly ignores his car issues and Pete gets accused of having a nose incident, then this is the episode for you.

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey start off a crowded Wednesday Redskins Talk by discussing Brandon Scherff's upcoming surgery and whether he's played his last game for the franchise. That chat leads into a larger discussion about how this roster could look quite different in just a few short months. Then, JP, Mitch and Pete all pick the same side in a fun debate that centers around the question, "Whose potential 1,000 yard season would be more impressive, Terry McLaurin or Adrian Peterson's?" That's where they finish up their portion, and give way to interviews with Adrian Peterson (from Sunday's postgame session), Bill Callahan (from Monday's 1-on-1 with JP) and, finally, Nick Sundberg, who's got quite a story about birds. If you like podcasts where the hosts are proud of their 'Twas the Night Before Christmas remix and there's a celebration for Tress Way's Pro Bowl berth, then this is the episode for you. And come to the Pod Party on Thursday at Rockville Matchbox. It's going to be excellent.

Thoughts on Dwayne's last 3 games, Bruce's standing, D-Hall in the front office and Norman's tough reality, plus a chat with Nick Sundberg & Tress Way Dec 11, 2019

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and John Keim hopped into Mitch's car for a Redskins Talk that's got it all. To begin, JP poses a question: Is the Dwayne Haskins peak performance going to happen on Sunday, or at least at some point in these last three games? After covering that as well as some other points about Haskins, the four move on to Bruce Allen, with JP explaining why he thinks the end is near. Next, they wonder how DeAngelo Hall could fit into the Redskins' front office, which is something he's interested in. Finally, their last segment deals with Josh Norman's new reality as a bench player. The hosts then toss to JP's 1-on-2 with Tress Way and Nick Sundberg (35:57), where the two reflect on how they've become such recognizable players and what a Pro Bowl appearance would mean. And to close, you'll get the Terry McLaurin postgame interview (46:51) from the Packers loss, which is worth listening to because he's the best. If you like podcasts where JP goes on a rant about being power-less and Pete creeps Keim out with sexy jean talk, then this is the episode for you.
