Unlocking the Secrets of Quarterback Camelot, with Seth Wickersham
No job in America is more scrutinized, except for (maybe) the presidency. And yet no job is more misunderstood — even by the stars who mastered it. On the eve of a new football season, Pablo joins journalism's foremost QB scholar for a case study in royalty: How do the Mannings keep producing under-center superstars? What connects the Golden Age of Hollywood to John Elway? Is Tom Brady’s newsletter right about fatherhood? And why do Nick Saban’s assistants call him “Daddy”?

The Hockey Show: Catching Up With The Voice of Hockey
To kick off this week's edition of The Hockey Show, Roy and David celebrate the career of Sergei Fedorov after the Detroit Red Wings announced they will retire his #91 this season. Then, in wins and fails, Roy gives some shine to the U18 Team USA that won the Hlinka Gretzky Cup. David doesn't understand the Buffalo Sabres' alternate logo. Rose shows us a Corey Perry highlight from 10 years ago, and somebody lets drunk Sam Reinhart talk again. Then, ESPN play-by-play announcer, friend of the show, and the man Ethan calls "The Voice of Hockey", Bob Wischusen, joins the show for an offseason catch-up before he heads out on the road for College Football. Bob gives the crew some insight into the life of a broadcaster, tells us what questions he has heading into the NHL season, and Ethan has his list of Top 5 broadcasters he would like to share a beer with.

Climbing Mt. Lombardi with Geoff Schwartz
Didya hear about the woman in West Virginia who framed the Pittsburgh Steelers tattoo she had taken off her dead husband’s arm? Now that’s what I call having some skin in the game. Pelts on the wall. Yes, as the Lincoln-driving philosopher Matthew McConaughey taught us, Time is a flat circle. You know what’s also a circle? A ring. Coaches are fond of saying “No one can ever take away that ring.” But of course, those rings can and have been taken, sold, or lost. Still, the spirit of the point stands: Time waits for no man, but our deeds are etched into history. How we stack up that particular moment in time - versus all the moments in time - is where things get murky and therefore make for enjoyable debate fodder with a beer in your hand. That's why in this episode of Football America! we dive into the teams that will miss the playoffs with DLS Family Tony Calatayud and the Super Fuentes Brothers, and then climb Mt. Lombardi with the pride of Autzen Stadium, former Duck and NFL lineman Geoff Schwartz. Objective Bradley is back with the news, too! Oh, and if you're thinking about the tattoo of the Steeler helmet just a word of caution... the hypocycloids go on the right, yinz.
