Week 5 Coaching Blunders, Who are the 2026 Seahawks, and LeSean McCoy’s Top Running Backs Oct 12, 2026

Show notes

Max Kellerman and former NFL running back LeSean Shady McCoy are here to hand out the blame. The Giants and Commanders tied, the NFC East is wide open, and McCoy lays out what’s really going on with Nick Sirianni and the Eagles after that kickoff decision. Max names this year’s Seahawks, and the debate is on. Then comes the question that splits the studio: Where does Jahmyr Gibbs rank among running backs right now, and can anyone top Bijan Robinson? Who gets the call?

Dak, Purdy, Skubal, and the Plan to Fix Baseball Oct 10, 2026

Show notes

Max Kellerman and The Ringer’s Anthony Dabbundo break down a Thursday-night flop Max calls “the most goddamn hilarious thing.” The NFC East is suddenly anybody’s division, and Dak Prescott’s ceiling is up for debate. Then comes the question of the week: Is Brock Purdy the MVP so far, or just another product of Kyle Shanahan’s system? The Dodgers and Brewers are about to square off, and Milwaukee may have blown it at the deadline by passing on Tarik Skubal. Will it cost them this series? Before the show ends, Max unveils his plan to fix baseball’s economics. Will anyone agree?

Max Eats His Words on Bryce, Roseman's Third Act, and the Browns' Comeback Kids Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

Max and Rich break down the Eagles trading Cam Jurgens to Baltimore a day after Lane Johnson retired, and whether Howie Roseman is setting up his third act in Philadelphia. Plus: Giannis on Heat culture and his old Bucks teammates, the Browns' 3-1 start under Todd Monken, and Max's long-awaited apology to Bryce Young. Is the NFC East wide open enough for anyone to steal it?

Mahomes Is Back, Giants in First, and the Brock Purdy Game Oct 05, 2026

Show notes

Max and Shady break down the Chiefs' 30-27 win in Las Vegas and whether a healthy Patrick Mahomes, with reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III behind him, makes Kansas City the team to beat again. Plus: The Giants grab sole possession of first place for the first time since 2015, Howie Roseman's Eagles stall without Jeff Stoutland, and Max talks Shady through the Brock Purdy game. Is Purdy a product of Kyle Shanahan's system, or is he simply a winning quarterback?

T.O. Settles the Stephen A. Score and Stands by Skipping Canton. Plus, the Broken-Leg Super Bowl. Oct 02, 2026

Show notes

Was Terrell Owens the most unfairly covered star of his era? Max and T.O. take it on directly, years after T.O. told Stephen A. on First Take that Max "almost seems blacker than you." T.O. goes after Skip Bayless and the pundits who repeated his story, and he still says nobody has ever heard a teammate back it up. Then come the stories only T.O. can tell: signing a waiver to play Super Bowl XXXIX on a broken leg, and his lack of regret for skipping Canton. Plus: T.O.'s message to Deshaun Watson, the Week 4 slate, and Max's advice to C.J. Stroud: take the $50 million. So ... who's the best receiver in the NFL right now?

Rodgers Isn't Cooked, the Flag That Flipped It for Denver, and the Case for Drake Maye | Game Over Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

Max and Shady break down the Broncos' comeback against the Rams and the pass interference call that Pat Bryant admits he sold. Then they ask whether Denver can win a title with Bo Nix. Lamar Jackson needed only seven seconds to punish Dallas in Rio, Aaron Rodgers looks anything but finished for Mike McCarthy, and Max goes against the grain to defend Drake Maye. Plus: The Giants land J.J. McCarthy, Jalen Brunson's 'SNL' moment, and whether anyone still cares about Yankees–Red Sox in October. And is the backup quarterback now the second-most important player on an NFL roster?

Bijan Robinson Runs Over the Packers, Mahomes Looks Like Mahomes Again, and Is Aaron Rodgers Cooked? Sep 25, 2026

Show notes

Damien Woody joins Max to break down Bijan Robinson's 194-yard demolition of the Packers in Michael Penix Jr.'s return from a torn ACL. Max thinks the verdict on Jordan Love is coming in, but Damien blames a depleted offensive line. Then the guys preview Week 3 by discussing whether Aaron Rodgers is cooked, Dexter Lawrence's impact on the Bengals, and the struggling Chargers. Plus, Patrick Mahomes and Kenneth Walker III have the Chiefs rolling, and who do you want with a minute left: Mahomes or Josh Allen?

Jaxson Dart Goes Down, Rich Paul on Why Athletes Shouldn't Fly Private, and the Top 5 Rap Duos Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

Max and Rich went to Giants-Rams together, only for Max to push back his call that Jaxson Dart would be an elite quarterback by the end of the season after Dart's knee injury on the opening drive. They debate whether the Giants should trade for Shedeur Sanders or Mitch Trubisky and—given that Caleb Williams also went down (with a hamstring injury)—discuss why every NFL team now needs two quarterbacks who can win. Plus: Rich on why Tyrese Haliburton is right to fly Southwest on a $244 million deal and a debate over the best rap duos ever.

Mahomes vs. Brady vs. Montana, Aaron Donald Comes Home, and Cincy Is 2-0 Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

Max and LeSean "Shady" McCoy break down the Bengals' 20-6 win over the Texans behind Ja'Marr Chase's two-touchdown day and dig into Patrick Mahomes—working back from a torn ACL and LCL—as still the best player alive rather than a guy on the decline. Plus: Aaron Donald ends a two-and-a-half-year retirement to walk back into the Rams' building just as Myles Garrett heads to IR for knee surgery and just before Monday's game against Jaxson Dart and the Giants. The guys also get into an all-time QB debate sparked by the Brady-Montana argument: Would either of them have made it back from what just put Mahomes on the shelf?

Bills Look Scary Good, Kobe vs. T-Mac, and the Vikings' QB Mess Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

Max and Rich break down the Bills' 41-31 win over the Lions in their new stadium and dig into Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars as a real AFC contender rather than a dark horse. Plus: the Vikings' QB room is a bigger mess than JJ McCarthy alone (Darnold's gone, Murray's hurt, Wentz won the opener off the bench), and an all-time NBA debate sparked by Tracy McGrady's own words — would the Lakers have three-peated with him instead of Kobe?
