Eagles & Jets heat up trade deadline, why Bill Belichick is ruining Mac Jones, should Matt Ryan hang it up & embarrassing Halloween stories Oct 27, 2022

Show notes

Trade season is upon us. It kicked off last week with the Carolina Panthers' blockbuster trade of Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers. It continued this week with the New York Jets acquiring Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson & on Wednesday afternoon, the Chicago Bears sending defensive end Robert Quinn to the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles.

Charles Robinson, Charles McDonald and Jori Epstein kick off this week's podcast discussing the latter two moves, if the NFC teams are in an arms race ahead of next Tuesday's trade deadline and some other possible trade candidates such as Brandin Cooks, Elijah Moore, Roquan Smith and Laremy Tunsil.

Later in the show, the crew discusses Bill Belichick's strange handling of quarterbacks Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe and the Indianapolis Colts' decision to bench QB Matt Ryan for sophomore passer Sam Ehlinger.

Week 7 Sunday Night Freestyle: Green Bay & Tampa Bay in free fall, SF trades for CMC, Seahawks atop NFC West Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

The top two vote getters in the 2021 NFL MVP race are in trouble. Aaron Rodgers & Tom Brady lost again this weekend as the Green Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers both fell to 3-4 as their teams near the halfway mark of the season. Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab kick off the Sunday night podcast with a question that needs to be legitimately asked at this point: are Rodgers and Brady hitting a wall?

After discussing the free fall in Tampa & Green Bay, the guys discuss Kansas City's blowout of the San Francisco 49ers, who traded for Christian McCaffrey on Thursday night & the New York Giants winning yet again on a surprisingly multi-faceted performance from Daniel Jones.

Charles & Frank react to all of Sunday's games on the episode including the return of Tua Tagovailoa in a win for the Miami Dolphins, the Seattle Seahawks elevating themselves atop the NFC West, the Cincinnati Bengals returning to their 2021 offensive juggernaut status and another offensively-challenged loss for the Denver Broncos.

Jim Irsay, Dan Snyder, Jerry Jones & Robert Kraft's war of words, Brady skips town, Rodgers wants simplification & CMC's trade value Oct 20, 2022

Show notes

When you get all the NFL owners in one room (minus lightning rod Dan Snyder), the pressure is bound to boil over when you have that collection of money, ego & power. Such was the case on Tuesday as multiple NFL owner feuds spilled out and generated some spicy headlines.

Charles Robinson is joined by Charles McDonald and Jori Epstein, who was at these owner meetings in New York this week, to discuss the fireworks coming from the semi-annual meetup of the league's top powers. First, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay spoke out against Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder, insisting that, "there [is] merit to removing [Snyder]." Next, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reportedly lashed out at New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, insisting, "don't f**k with me," over a potential extension for commissioner Roger Goodell.

Later in the podcast, Jori & the two Charles' chat about two QB controversies coming out of Week 6 in Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady skipping Saturday walkthroughs to attend the aforementioned Robert Kraft's wedding & Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers' public plea to "simplify" the offense.

Finally, the crew closes out the show discussing the trade market for Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey & debates the reason for the precipitous drop in scoring this season.

Week 6 Sunday Night Freestyle: Birds stay undefeated, Bills get revenge on Chiefs, Jets & Giants keep on winning Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab are back for their weekly Sunday night NFL recap. Leading things off, the guys start the show with Jalen Hurts & the Philadelphia Eagles staying undefeated against the division rival Dallas Cowboys. While falling to 4-2 isn't ideal for Dallas, it was ironically a positive loss for them as they look forward to bringing Dak Prescott back from thumb surgery as early as next weekend.

Charles & Frank also discuss the Buffalo Bills' revenge over their recent bully, the Kansas City Chiefs. Josh Allen looks like he may be the best QB in football and this 24-20 win might just be the difference between hosting an AFC championship game in upstate New York vs. western Missouri.

The guys also revel in the two other New York wins, with the Jets handily taking down the Green Bay Packers in Lambeau Field, while the Giants held off the Baltimore Ravens at home in MetLife Stadium.

Stick around through the entire show as Charles & Frank recap all of the Sunday Week 6 games in a head-scratching weekend that seemingly left half of the teams with a 3-3 record.

0:25 Dallas Cowboys 17, Philadelphia Eagles 26

6:30 Buffalo Bills 24, Kansas City Chiefs 20

16:25 New York Jets 27, Green Bay Packers 10

Davante Adams shove, Carolina Panthers fire Matt Rhule, Ron Rivera criticizes Carson Wentz & the rise of Bailey Zappe? Oct 13, 2022

Show notes

Two Monday Night Football games. Two very different instances of a player shoving a non-player to the ground, resulting in legal action. That was the scene for the second week in a row, this time coming out of Kansas City where Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams shoved a photographer to the ground following the team's 29-30 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Charles Robinson & Jori Epstein kick off this mid-week podcast reacting to the grey area of this case, Adams' remorse, the role of on-field media personnel & what punishments, if any, may fall to the Raiders receiver.

They also discuss the Carolina Panthers firing head coach Matt Rhule, how Matthew Stafford almost became a Panther in the spring of 2021 and Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera criticizing QB Carson Wentz.

Jori does a deep dive on New England Patriots QB Bailey Zappe's circuitous road to an NFL starting job, how the fourth round passer has an opportunity to steal Mac Jones' job in the short-term and why Bill Belichick of all people seems to be encouraging it!

Charles & Jori close out the show taking an extended look at Sunday night's matchup between the Dallas Cowboys & Philadelphia Eagles.

Shoutout to Jori's book: The Upstander: How Surviving the Holocaust Sparked Max Glauben's Mission to Dismantle Hate

Show notes

When it comes to game-winning field goals, Justin Tucker is automatic. What else can you say? It's what Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab have to say to kick off Sunday evening's podcast. The Baltimore Ravens took charge of the AFC North over the former division champion Cincinnati Bengals thanks to the leg of Tucker on Sunday Night Football.

Charles & Frank react to that game, the three impressive NFC East wins from Dallas, New York & Philadelphia, the Los Angeles Rams looking completely lost at home & the Minnesota Vikings earning their topsy-turvy fourth win of the season on tonight's podcast.

Bobby Wagner's protestor smackdown, Tom Brady's marriage, Geno Smith's redemption & one insane fake Ravens trade Oct 06, 2022

Show notes

The biggest hit on Monday night's game between the Los Angeles Rams & San Francisco 49ers wasn't recorded in the official stat sheet. During a stoppage in play, Rams LB Bobby Wagner tackled a protester who had made his way onto the field in what at first was a viral moment for NFL Twitter. On Wednesday, TMZ reported that the protester has now filed assault charges against Wagner. Yahoo's Charles Robinson & Charles McDonald kick off the podcast discussing the wild twists of this story, if you assume risk of being decked by an NFL player when you run on a field or if Bobby Wagner was out of line for taking the agitator down.

There was also a game on Monday night, in which the Rams lost to San Francisco 24-9. The guys try to diagnose what is wrong with the defending Super Bowl champs this year.

Later in the show, Robinson & McDonald analyze the latest in Tom Brady's off-the-field issues as reports indicate he may be getting divorced, Seattle Seahawk Geno Smith's late-career resurgence, why the Atlanta Falcons should think about starting Desmond Ridder over Marcus Mariota & which overlooked WR the Baltimore Ravens should trade for.

Finally, the guys close out the show previewing a trio of key Week 5 games.

Week 4 Sunday Night Freestyle: Tua's TNF concussion overshadows, Eagles stay undefeated & Pickett's debut Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab kick off the Sunday night episode not by looking at the day's slate of games, but by rewinding to the scary scene in Cincinnati on Thursday night, where Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa suffered a scary concussion. Tagovailoa's injury on Thursday night reignited a conversation around player safety that Charles argues played a major effect on Sunday's slate of games.

After discussing the large shadow Thursday Night Football cast over the weekend & how the league will next address player safety, the guys dive into the rest of Sunday's games: from Kansas City's thorough handling of Tampa Bay, Buffalo's comeback in Baltimore, the Green Bay Packers needing an entire overtime period to handle New England 3rd stringer Bailey Zappe and more.

Tua & Hurts making the leap, QB class of '21 struggles, Dak vs. Rush & RIP Pro Bowl Sep 29, 2022

Show notes

Charles Robinson welcomes back Yahoo's newest NFL reporters in Charles McDonald and Jori Epstein to the Wednesday podcast. They kick off the festivities with the end of another festivity: indeed, the Pro Bowl is no more. The crew discusses if this is good for the game as well as the news that Rihanna would be headlining next February's Super Bowl halftime show.

Later in the podcast, Jori reports from Dallas where there may or may not be serious QB competition between undefeated Cowboys backup Cooper Rush and Dak Prescott, the latter of which is still recovering from a thumb surgery. Does Jerry Jones actually intend to fan the flames of controversy here or is it all just bluster from the NFL's greatest showman.

Next, the trio turn their attention towards Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa and Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts. Both have their teams undefeated after Week 3 and respectively lead the NFL in many passing statistics. Our hosts discuss what it means for the Dolphins and Eagles to be seemingly out of the QB wilderness now that Tua & Jalen are seemingly making the leap to stardom.

Afterwards, the group closes out the podcast discussing how the QB class of 2021 (Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Justin Fields, Mac Jones & Davis Mills) is decimated with injury and uncertainty just 20 games into their young careers.

Finally, the podcast is closed out with a discussion of five key Week 4 games to keep an eye on this weekend.

0:40 End of the Pro Bowl & Rhianna secures Super Bowl halftime show

14:45 Cooper Rush vs. Dak Prescott in Dallas' QB non-competition

Show notes

Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab kick off the Sunday night podcast with a heated discussion of the 11-10 Denver Broncos win over the San Francisco 49ers. It was an ugly game with a boatload of punting & some encouraging signs from Nathaniel Hackett's coaching, but a game where one can't help but ask what is wrong with the Broncos offense?

Later, Charles & Frank discuss Miami holding on to stay undefeated against Buffalo, Lamar Jackson shredding the Patriots defense, Indianapolis earning their first win of the season against the Chiefs, the Jaguars' dominance over the Chargers and the rest of the games from Week 3.
