On this edition of Throw Up Tackle, the crew opens with “My Confessions” energy and goes straight at the Sherrone Moore situation—why side pieces don't just “go away,” how cheating turns into career nukes, and why the stakes hit different when you're one of the few Black head coaches in major college football. The convo gets real about emotional discipline, marriage as the foundation, and the bigger responsibility that comes with being a face in spaces where “we” still don't get many shots.Then it's rapid-fire chaos the way Throw Up Tackle does it: College Football Playoff politics (Notre Dame vs. the ACC/committee drama), Miami vs. Texas A&M nerves, and the weekly picks run—complete with Panthers/Bucs tension, Chiefs shutdown talk after Mahomes' ACL, and arguments about who really deserves Coach of the Year.

Carolina Confidential is back, and Gerrell Wheeler is still heated after the Panthers' gut-punch 20–17 loss to the Saints on Sunday—complete with a season sweep by a New Orleans team playing spoiler. Gerrell breaks down how Carolina let a must-win slip away (penalties everywhere, the late hit that everyone's talking about, and missed chances long before that final drive), plus the frustrating reality of a true .500 team that looks playoff-ready one week and completely lost the next. Now the math is simple: the Panthers have made life harder, but the path is still there—beat the Buccaneers twice, handle business, and punch a ticket to the postseason for the first time since 2017.

Speed This Week is back on ForecastSports.com with your crew chief and driver Trey Rice—and this episode goes full throttle from a hilarious “mic too loud” start into the biggest NASCAR story of the offseason: the NASCAR vs. 23XI/Front Row Motorsports charter lawsuit settlement. Trey breaks down what the judge's “y'all need to settle this” moment really meant, why permanent (evergreen) charters change the sport, how revenue-sharing and new voting power shift leverage toward teams, and why this could lead to more stable organizations, bigger investments, and better racing on the track. Plus, the guys hit the ongoing debate about NASCAR's playoff format vs. old-school points, and detour into the chaos of a wild NFL season—including the Panthers' messy division race and what it means when nobody seems to want the Super Bowl.

Conference championship weekend is in the books and The 2 Minute Drill with Jacari and Jamari is locked in on what comes next. The guys break down key matchups from the weekend, including Tulane vs. North Texas, Alabama vs. Georgia, Duke vs. Virginia, and Ohio State vs. Indiana, digging into momentum swings, questionable officiating, coaching decisions, and standout performances that shaped the road to the College Football Playoff.In the second half, Jacari and Jamari react to the College Football Playoff bracket, debate seeding and snubs, unpack the ongoing Notre Dame drama, and give early predictions for the national title race. They also preview Army–Navy, discuss whether bowl games still matter, and make first-round playoff picks—highlighting potential upsets, Group of Five hopes, and which contenders are peaking at the right time.

College football may already be broken, but this week Yarbs and Will dig into the moment Duke, Notre Dame, and the ACC combined Voltron-style to shatter whatever was left of the system. From Notre Dame's next-level pettiness—canceling book signings, refusing bowl invites, blaming everyone but themselves—to the committee's nonsensical rankings, the guys break down why the sport feels more chaotic than ever and why even the BCS suddenly looks… competent?The conversation widens into what the future of bowl games should be, how smaller programs like Tulane and JMU fit into the new 12-team playoff, and whether college football can ever return to what fans once loved. Then it's on to Scoragami, bizarre NFL stats (including Jalen Hurts turning the ball over twice on one play), the Chiefs' sudden collapse, and the Titans' historic ineptitude. They wrap with “Get Off My Lawn” holiday rants (ugly sweaters, inflatables, talking mirrors, and spray-on snow), plus three-on-three of the worst Christmas decor known to mankind.It's smart, chaotic, petty, statistical, festive—and absolutely Breaking Sports.

On this episode of Throw Up Tackle, THE! Mario Washington, The DOK, and LJ go all the way in on the chaos of the College Football Playoff. The crew lights up Notre Dame for opting out of its bowl, questions how an independent program with no real signature wins thought it had a case, and breaks down why Miami belonged in the field before the Irish ever did. From ACC tiebreaker madness and a five-loss Duke in the title game, to SEC bias, TV-driven narratives, and conferences that no longer make geographic sense, they debate what a real national championship system should look like—expanded playoffs, capped conference sizes, real commissioners, and revenue sharing that actually fixes the sport.Then they pivot to the NFL and it gets even wilder. The guys react to the Indianapolis Colts dragging Philip Rivers out of retirement and wonder how a Hall of Fame clock gets reset for a QB who hasn't played in five years. They hit on Sheduer Sanders' development and future, why the Chiefs look cooked, how violent and legit the Texans defense is under DeMeco Ryans, and what's gone wrong with Jalen Hurts and the Eagles. As always, they close with their weekly picks, more jokes at Cowboys fans' expense, and a healthy dose of controlled chaos—classic Throw Up Tackle.Check out Throw Up Tackle on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@fourcastmediaCheck out Throw Up Tackle on our website at http://www.pushplaypods.com/throwuptackleBe sure to like and subscribe!

On this episode of Carolina Confidential on the Forecast Sports Network, host Gerrell Wheeler breaks down where the Carolina Panthers stand coming out of the bye week and why the playoff race is suddenly very real in Charlotte. Sitting at 7–6 and ninth in the NFC, the Panthers are tied with Tampa Bay and still have both matchups with the Bucs ahead of them—meaning they fully control their own destiny in the NFC South. Gerrell walks listeners through the current NFC playoff picture, explains why Tampa holds the tiebreaker right now, and breaks down the common-opponent math that has the Bucs narrowly ahead in the standings.From there, Gerrell turns up the urgency for this closing stretch. He explains why losing to the Saints a second time would be inexcusable, why practice habits have to change, and why Bryce Young simply cannot afford another lackluster performance with the playoffs “staring us right in the face.” With four games left—three of them in the division—Gerrell lays out what has to happen for Carolina to snap its playoff drought, what success would really look like the rest of the way, and why Sunday is going to be stressful for every Panthers fan riding this roller coaster to the finish.

Speed This Week with Crew Chief Will & Trey Rice breaks down a packed week across NASCAR and the wider sports world, blending industry insight with unfiltered opinion. Will and Trey dive into the ongoing NASCAR lawsuit and charter controversy, discussing why most of the leaked testimony matters less than the final outcome — and what it all means for teams, owners, revenue sharing, and the future health of the sport. From Michael Jordan and Joe Gibbs to the financial realities squeezing smaller teams, the conversation pulls back the curtain on how money, power, and opportunity truly shape NASCAR.The episode also covers major offseason moves and storylines, including Nick Sanchez's surprising split from Big Machine Racing, Rick Ware Racing's switch to Chevrolet, and how manufacturer alliances could tip the competitive balance. Along the way, the guys touch on weather's impact on racetracks, share a few offbeat “interesting facts,” and wrap things up with NFL playoff chatter, NFC South chaos, and college football playoff controversy. Insightful, blunt, and authentically fan-driven — this is Speed This Week at full throttle.

Jacari and Jamari are back on The 2 Minute Drill with the regular season in the rearview and Championship Week on deck. They open the show recapping a wild slate: Georgia grinding out a defensive win over Georgia Tech behind a dominant run game, Oklahoma barely hanging on against struggling LSU to keep its playoff hopes alive, Alabama surviving the Iron Bowl with a gutsy fourth-down call, and Cal shocking SMU to blow up the AAC title race and open the door for Duke.Then they zoom out and dig into the chaos around the College Football Playoff picture and the coaching carousel. The guys debate Notre Dame's résumé, BYU's case, whether Vanderbilt is being disrespected, and what happens if two Group of Five teams crash the party—plus what it would mean for the ACC if Virginia or Miami can't get in. They also touch on big coaching moves across the SEC and beyond before closing the show with their conference championship predictions, including JMU–Troy, Tulane–North Texas, BYU–Texas Tech, Georgia–Alabama, Duke–Virginia, and the heavyweight showdown between Ohio State and Indiana, with a little Heisman talk sprinkled in.

This week on Breaking Sports, Yarbs and Will reunite for the first time “in about three presidents,” kicking things off with holiday recovery, John Fox nostalgia, and one of the most absurd Notre Dame stat lines of all time. Then the guys dive headfirst into conference championship weekend—Duke vs. Virginia in the ACC, Georgia–Bama in the SEC, Ohio State–Indiana for the Big Ten title, and why BYU–Texas Tech just feels right. Along the way, they mix in everything from the Lane Kiffin soap opera to Kirby Smart's dynasty, score-gami madness, the legend of the Dayton Triangles, and whether Denver and New England might be the most suspicious 10-win teams in NFL history.In classic Yarbs & Will fashion, the show also wanders into the disappearing art of local radio, AI taking over game recaps, the chaos in Minnesota's quarterback room, and even a debate on the greatest game shows ever made. They close the episode with “Get Off My Lawn,” three-on-three game show picks, and a long look at the baffling, entertaining roller coaster that is the Carolina Panthers—asking the question everyone's asking: What exactly is this team?

This week on Speed This Week, the Crew Chief and Trey break down the opening days of the antitrust trial pitting 23XI and Front Row Motorsports against NASCAR. From Denny Hamlin's emotional testimony and the soaring cost of charters to Commissioner Steve Phelps' “stupid redneck” text about Richard Childress and NASCAR's grip on the media narrative, they dig into what this all means for teams, fans, and the future of the sport.Then the guys shift gears to the NFL, where Trey's bold call about the Panthers upsetting the Rams comes true and Bryce Young looks like a different quarterback. They talk Carolina's playoff path, what the Panthers should do with Bryce long-term, Lane Kiffin's latest chaos, and why trying to watch every NFL game across 10 streaming platforms could run fans nearly $750 a year.

The Carolina Panthers just shocked the NFL, and Gerrell Wheeler is here to break it all down after a massive 31–28 win over the 9–2 Los Angeles Rams. In one of the most complete performances of the season, the Panthers delivered on both sides of the ball—Bryce Young tossed three touchdowns, the run game found balance with Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle combining for strong production, Jalen Coker had his best game of the year, and the defense came up huge with a Mike Jackson pick-six and key turnovers from Derrick Brown and Nick Scott. Gerrell talks energy, execution, and why this felt like the team Carolina believed they could be back in Week 1.Now sitting at 7–6 heading into the bye, Gerrell asks the big question: Who are the Panthers really? One week they're unstoppable, the next week inconsistent—but with the NFC South wide open and four games left (Saints, Bucs, Seahawks, Bucs), a playoff push is absolutely on the table. Gerrell lays out the path, the mindset, and why maintaining offensive balance is the key to finishing strong. If Carolina keeps this momentum, we may just be talking about a 10-win season and a postseason return no one expected. It's up for the city—believe that.

Rivalry week is here and Jacari & Jamari are locked in on the chaos. On this episode of The 2 Minute Drill, the guys break down a wild Week 13, including Oregon's statement win over USC, Pitt exposing Georgia Tech, Illinois' shocking collapse against Wisconsin, and Oklahoma grinding out a massive playoff-boosting victory over Missouri. Then they dive into the messiest storyline in college football: the Lane Kiffin saga — what it means for Ole Miss, LSU, the playoff committee, and the players caught in the middle.They also zoom out to the FCS playoffs, react to North Dakota State, Montana, the Ivy League's debut, and more, before turning their attention to rivalry week: Michigan–Ohio State, the Iron Bowl, Texas–Texas A&M, Clemson–South Carolina, and a bunch of under-the-radar grudge matches with real stakes. Finally, they kick around their Heisman leaderboard — from Frank Mendoza and Jeremiyah Love to dark horse Marcel Reed — and lay out who they think controls their own destiny heading into championship weekend.

In this raw and emotional episode of Carolina Confidential, host Gerrell Wheeler breaks down the Carolina Panthers' frustrating 20–9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football — a game that perfectly defines the term roller coaster.Gerrell shares why this matchup felt like the true identity of a .500 football team, pointing to the contrast between a dominant defensive performance and an offense that completely stalled. Despite forcing three interceptions from Brock Purdy and creating premium scoring opportunities, the Panthers offense led by Bryce Young failed to capitalize, leaving fans with that familiar sinking feeling.From questionable play-calling and disappearing run game, to untimely drops and inconsistency under center, Gerrell lays out why this loss was particularly painful—especially under the bright lights of prime time, a stage the Panthers rarely get. He highlights standout defensive moments from J.C. Horn, Mike Jackson, and a unit playing short-handed, while expressing the growing difficulty of defending the offense's lack of production.Looking ahead to next week's matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, Gerrell asks the tough questions: Can this offense respond? Is Bryce Young capable of leading back-to-back strong performances? And where does this team actually stand in a wide-open division?It's honest, frustrated, passionate — everything Panthers fans are feeling this week.

On this week's Speed This Week, the Crew Chief and driver Trey Rice tag in a special guest: Mark “Yarbs” Yarbro from Breaking Sports with Yarbs & Will for a crossover episode on the Fourcast Sports Network. The guys go deep on the state of NASCAR, from dropping TV ratings and scattered broadcast/streaming deals to whether the playoff format and stage racing are pushing longtime fans away. Yarbs shares old-school stories from the infield at the 600, while Trey breaks down why moving races across Fox, NBC, Prime, and CW is quietly hurting the sport's connection with its core audience.Then they slide over to the NFL and a massive Monday Night Football showdown: Panthers vs. 49ers. The crew debates what Bryce Young's 400+ yard explosion really means, whether Carolina can seize first place in the NFC South, and how much Christian McCaffrey's “revenge game” factor matters. They wrap with a Thanksgiving-week moment of gratitude, appreciation for the grind, and a promise: if the Panthers show up under the lights, they'll be back to talk about it.

On this episode of 2 Minute Drill, Jacari and Jamari are deep in the Week 13 grind with a full slate of college football talk.

On this episode of Breaking Sports with Yarbs & Will, the guys bulldoze through another wild week on the gridiron. They break down Texas A&M's insane 27-point comeback on South Carolina and what it revealed about Mike Elko's team, then dive into the latest College Football Playoff drama: why Miami sits behind Notre Dame despite beating them head-to-head, and whether the ACC is there for the taking with James Franklin now at Virginia Tech and Dave Doeren feeling very “end of an era” at NC State.They also hit Fernando Mendoza's surging Heisman case, fire off a fresh round of Sports Stat nuggets (from SEC history to Josh Allen's alien performance and Matthew Stafford vs the blitz), and detour into a fun 3-on-3 Robin Williams movie draft. In the NFL corner, Yarbs & Will wrestle with what Bryce Young's record-setting day vs the Falcons really means, rant about officiating accountability in “Get Off My Lawn,” question the Drake May coronation tour, talk Shador Sanders' tough debut, wonder if Justin Fields is officially done, and admit—even while complaining—they still watch every single international NFL game at 9:30 a.m. every Sunday.

On this episode of Carolina Confidential, Gerrell Wheeler is feeling good as the Panthers sweep the Falcons with a 30–27 win in Atlanta—and Bryce Young puts the league on notice.Gerrell breaks down Bryce's record-setting day, as the young QB torches Atlanta for 448 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions, and breaks Cam Newton's single-game franchise passing mark. He talks about Bryce's poise, his chemistry with Adam Thielen, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and Tommy Tremble, and why this is the version of Bryce Panthers fans have been desperate to see.On the other side of the ball, Gerrell gives Bijan Robinson his flowers after a big first half, then credits the Panthers defense for tightening up when it mattered most. He also zooms out to the NFC South picture—Panthers now 6–5, sitting second in the division—and walks through the brutal upcoming stretch (49ers, Rams, Saints, Bucs, Seahawks) and what Carolina has to do to keep this playoff push alive.It's optimism, realism, and pure Panthers fandom—“it just feels good to be a Panthers fan right now.”

On this episode of Speed This Week with The Crew Chief and Trey Rice, the guys fire it up with a look at NASCAR's newest docuseries-style project: a five-night YouTube run following Rajah Caruth, Carson Hocevar, and Jesse Love. Will and Trey break down why this version feels grittier than Netflix's attempt, what makes each driver's story compelling, and why Rajah's journey from iRacing kid to rising NASCAR talent really matters—on and off the track. They also get candid about race, fan reactions, and how Black drivers are treated in a traditionally white sport, including the incident that appears in the series preview.From there, the conversation shifts to the future of NASCAR hardware and talent. The crew dives into Dodge's return to the Truck Series, the multi-truck effort being built, and the intriguing “all-star truck” concept that could rotate young guns, short-track assassins, and seasoned vets through the seat. They talk sim time vs. real-track pressure, why the new generation is so far ahead so fast, and toss out names who could thrive in that rotating Dodge ride. Sprinkle in some off-track banter about Avatar, full moons, and fast sneezes, and you've got another packed lap with trusted voices for today's fan.

On this week's Breaking Sports with Yarbs & Will, the guys thaw out from a surprise snow and dive straight into a wild slate: Indiana–Penn State's toe-tap classic (was that Francisco Mendoza's Heisman moment?) and a spirited side rant on Gus Johnson going full Nic Cage; why Texas A&M might secretly be No. 1 while the ACC keeps eating itself; USC's jersey-swap fake-punt loophole; and LSU's Brian Kelly mess, buyout brinkmanship, and statehouse drama. They unpack the growing prop-bet scandal (why college props might be first on the chopping block), then hit Sports STAT: Cade Cunningham's 45 on 45 shots, a Browns-Jets stat unicorn, and Philly's turnover stinginess. Pop-culture pit stop: a new Eddie Murphy doc sparks a “3-on-3” of their favorite Eddie films (Beverly Hills Cop, Trading Places, Coming to America and more). The Get Off My Lawn duo goes at the NBA's new USA vs. World All-Star format and the habit of gold-jacket-ing QBs after five good games. Finally: Panthers-Saints autopsy (does Dave Canales trust Bryce Young?), plus whether late-season Thursday nighters should exist at all. It's jokes, receipts, and rants—STAT.

On this episode of Throw Up Tackle, THE! Mario Washington, The DOK, and LJ unleash the boo birds on a chaotic week across the sports universe. They roast the Dallas Mavericks' front office after Nico Harrison's firing and the lingering insanity of trading Luka for AD while Cooper Flagg is miscast as a point guard. They pivot to New York, where Brian Daboll is out, Mike Kafka is in, and the Belichick-to-the-Giants whispers spark a brutally honest conversation about who “looks” like an NFL head coach. The crew then dives into the growing gambling mess: MLB pitchers allegedly rigging pitch-by-pitch props for a few thousand dollars, the dark side of player props, and how legalized betting is both exposing and enabling this nonsense. From there it's buyout season—Brian Kelly vs LSU and why, if you write a $54 million clause, you better honor it—and a heated look at the YouTube TV vs Disney/ESPN standoff that's holding fans' games hostage and poking at a bigger question about the future of live sports.They wrap with sharp NFL and CFB takes on the Chiefs, Lions, Broncos, Seahawks, Cowboys, Colorado and more, plus the weekly picks, sidebars, lemon pepper wings, and just enough slander to keep everybody honest.Check out Throw Up Tackle on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@fourcastmediaCheck out Throw Up Tackle on our website at http://www.pushplaypods.com/throwuptackleBe sure to like and subscribe!

On this episode of Speed This Week, the crew chief and driver Trey Rice dig into what Corey Heim's historic Truck Series season really means. They break down just how absurd his 2025 numbers were—leading over half the laps all year, dominating every major stat column, and cementing himself as the next big thing in NASCAR.From whether Toyota and 23XI can afford to ever let him go, to how quickly he could win at the Cup level, the guys make the case that Heim isn't just good—he's era-defining. From there, they zoom out to the bigger picture: crumbling TV ratings, scattered broadcast/streaming deals, Amazon races nobody can find, and why NASCAR is risking its core audience by being everywhere and nowhere at once. They touch on the Michael Jordan vs. NASCAR legal fight, the charter bubble, and why the France family's control of the sport is under real pressure.The show closes with a look at gambling scandals in other sports (and why Trey is convinced that kind of thing doesn't fly in NASCAR), plus a quick check-in on the Carolina Panthers' brutal loss to the Saints and what it reveals about play-calling, Bryce Young, and missed opportunities.Fast numbers, honest opinions, zero sugarcoating.

In this week's episode of Carolina Confidential, Gerrell Wheeler breaks down the Panthers' disappointing Week 10 loss to the New Orleans Saints — a game that slipped away because of poor preparation, inconsistency, and another frustrating outing from Bryce Young. Dro dives deep into what went wrong, from the team's lack of focus in practice to the offense's complete collapse after an early touchdown. He unpacks key stats that tell the story — 388 yards allowed, just 175 gained — and questions how the Panthers could make Tyler Shough and Alvin Kamara look like world-beaters.Gerrell also calls out leadership and accountability issues, from Bryce's body language to Coach Dave Canales admitting the team simply “wasn't prepared.” Can the Panthers rebound against the Falcons and keep their wild card hopes alive, or is this the beginning of the end for their season? Tune in for a raw, passionate breakdown from one of the most honest voices in Carolina sports.

The championship weekend chaos is in the rearview, and Speed This Week is wide open. The Crew Chief and Driver Trey Rice break down an unforgettable trip to Phoenix, where Trey was on-site for one of the most dominant Truck seasons in NASCAR history. They relive Corey Heim's ridiculous seven-wide, one-handed restart move, his insane 12-win stat line, and how he basically forced his way into future Hall of Fame conversations. From there, they dive into the Xfinity finale—Conor Zilisch's heartbreak, Jesse Love's execution, pit crews swinging titles—and then hit the Cup Series, where Denny Hamlin's blown shot and Kyle Larson's quiet clinch spark a real talk conversation about the playoff format and who actually deserved this one.Off the track, things get even spicier: the guys unpack Michael Jordan and Denny's legal fight with NASCAR, charter prices going nuclear, falling TV numbers, streaming problems, and whether the France family's grip on the sport looks a lot like a monopoly. Could an MJ-backed rival series ever work? What happens on December 1st? And is a return to an old-school format the only way to save the product? All that, plenty of sarcasm, and zero legal degrees on this week's Speed This Week.

Week 11 of college football is here, and Jacari and Jamari are breaking down everything you need to know heading into the weekend!

Finally, they close with Week 11 predictions — from Memphis vs. Tulane and Oregon vs. Iowa, to Alabama vs. LSU — and what each matchup could mean for the postseason race.Fast-paced, sharp, and full of energy — this week's 2 Minute Drill has everything a college football fan needs to get ready for the stretch run.

Yarbs and Will are back and today they open with the ACC's “Halloween Massacre,” Dabo's ref-blasting and why officiating needs accountability just like coaches and players. Then it's CFP rankings hysteria vs. reality, an Oregon gut-check, and a detour into band lore—from LSU's 66-year-old tuba rookie to Ohio State's family “dot the i” moment.The guys rip into the ESPN vs. YouTube TV carriage fight and the streaming sprawl that made “cutting the cord” a joke, hit NASCAR with Denny Hamlin's heartbreak, and serve up Get Off My Lawn: pharma-commercial dance numbers, and why Dallas is absolutely not “America's Team.” They also rapid-fire the week's oddities (Tom Brady's cloned dog), Tuberville's tone-deaf comments, and their 3-on-3 of most overrated movies (prepare yourself: The Dark Knight, Titanic, Pulp Fiction, The Godfather, Citizen Kane catch strays).Finally, they celebrate the Panthers' stunner over Green Bay, size up Saints-week stakes, debate Bills-Chiefs regular season vs. playoff truth, and wonder if Kyler's time in Arizona is over with Jacoby Brissett thriving. Chaos, jokes, and strong takes—exactly how Breaking Sports likes it.

Gerrell Wheeler is FIRED UP after the Panthers marched into Lambeau and stunned the Packers. He breaks down how rookie kicker Ryan Fitzgerald redeemed a missed PAT with a clutch 49-yard game-winner, why Rico Dowdle has become the heartbeat of the offense (25 carries, 130 yards, 2 TDs—and top-3 in league rushing), and yes… that “two pumps” flag. Gerrell credits a battered O-line for standing up to the pass rush, explains Bryce Young's low-volume day, and spotlights a defense that rattled Jordan Love (one pick, nearly two) with constant pressure.Beyond the box score, it's a vibe check on the rebuild: young defenders flashing, smart personnel moves, and a team finally finishing games. At 5–4, Gerrell lays out why this looks like the modern blueprint—steady growth under Dan Morgan and Dave Canales—and why the NFC (and maybe the NFL) should take notice. Then it's on to the slate ahead—starting with a Saints matchup he labels a must-win—and the path to a finish above .500.If you needed a sign the tide is turning in Carolina, this was it.

The guys jump into the money talk early in this episode discussing why ESPN vanished from YouTube TV, what carriage fees really are, and how the math (and greed) behind cable → streaming is squeezing fans. Expect real numbers, real frustration, DirecTV flashbacks, and a debate about whether we're just rebuilding cable with extra steps. That flows into an AI reality check—what “AI” is (and isn't), why studios want shortcuts, and a house-robot demo that turned out to be… a person on the other end.

This week, the crew dives headfirst into the NBA's betting scandal: Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier, and Damon Jones—what the indictments say, how a La Cosa Nostra poker ring fits in, and why prop-bet “unders” are a ticking time bomb. Mario, The DOK, and LJ debate how much the players knew, why “helping your boy” can wreck a career, and whether legal betting has made policing easier—or temptation worse.Then it's on to the court: 50 is the new 40 as scorers pile up monster nights—does offense still wow if nobody guards?College football chaos follows: Brian Kelly out at LSU and a jaw-dropping $168M in dead money for fired coaches—who pays, why buyouts keep ballooning, and which agents are eating good.They close with NFL picks and quick hits on shaky QBs, surging defenses, and which contenders actually need this week's win the most.Smart takes, wild theories, and just enough chaos—Throw Up Tackle style.Check out Throw Up Tackle on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@fourcastmediaCheck out Throw Up Tackle on our website at http://www.pushplaypods.com/throwuptackleBe sure to like and subscribe!

Host Gerrell Wheeler breaks down the Carolina Panthers' humiliating 40–9 loss to the Buffalo Bills, calling it “cheeks” from start to finish. From a defense that gave up 216 rushing yards to James Cook to an offensive line decimated by injuries, Wheeler pulls no punches on how bad things looked.He dives into Andy Dalton's struggles — turnovers, sacks, and missed chances — while questioning how a team facing one of the league's worst run defenses couldn't get the ground game going. Still, there's a silver lining: Rico Dowdle's emergence as RB1 and a possible shift away from politics toward performance.With a tough matchup against the Packers ahead, Wheeler says the Panthers have no choice but to tighten up or risk another 40-point embarrassment.

Jacari and Jamari blitz through a loaded college football slate. They open with rapid reactions to four headline games: Bama's defense flipping the script vs. Tennessee, Georgia's fourth-quarter surge to outlast Ole Miss, Notre Dame grinding past USC behind Jeremiyah Love's monster night, and Vanderbilt's statement W over LSU in a season that suddenly feels historic in Nashville.Segment two turns spicy: should Mike Norvell be back at FSU given the record and that massive buyout? Who's next on the hot seat? The guys also salute the midweek #MACtion-style chaos (Conference USA & friends), weigh UCLA's interim-era bounce under Tim Skipper, and sort contenders vs. pretenders (hello, Vandy & BYU; not so fast, Georgia Tech).They close with picks and quick game plans for the week: UCLA–Indiana, Ole Miss–Oklahoma, Texas A&M–LSU, and Missouri–Vanderbilt—with differing calls, upset alerts, and a whole lot of logic. High tempo, sharper takes, zero huddles.

Crew Chief Will and Driver (Trey Rice) fire up another fast lap through the weekend that was and the showdown to come. After some Carolina-weather banter and a quick victory lap for the Panthers' grind-it-out win over the Jets (and Trey's… creative math about upsetting Buffalo), the guys dive into Talladega:Trucks: Gio Ruggiero nabs a popular W, TRICON keeps flexing, and Lane Riggs' pre-qual penalty looms large heading to Martinsville. Corey Heim's already through, but the cut-line math is brutal.Xfinity: Austin Hill wins via fuel strategy and superspeedway savvy.Cup: Chase Briscoe punches his ticket while Kyle Larson runs dry late—strategy bites hard.Then it's a full Martinsville preview across all three series: why the paperclip races different after three series lay rubber, how a chilly night could tweak feel (more grip, less pace), and where the pressure will pop. Trucks are razor-tight (Riggs -6), Xfinity has two virtual locks (Zilisch, Allgaier) with a knife fight brewing for the last spots (Creed, Mayer, Jones, Smith vs. a short-track-strong Carson), and in Cup the guys circle Ryan Blaney as the form pick while Hendrick/JGR/Penske stack the deck. Denny's Martinsville average (9.8) and a sentimental push for Chase Elliott cap the lap.If you like strategy calls, pit-stall chess, and cut-line nerves, this one's got all the throttle.

Basketball is back and Jeremy Grandison is drowning (happily) in it. From the NBC-on-NBA nostalgia hit to a double-OT Rockets–Thunder classic, he sprints through opening-week fireworks: Shai vs. KD in winning time, Luka's 43 and Steph's dagger, then a full-throttle breakdown of Victor Wembanyama's year-three takeover—turning a locked-in Anthony Davis into a highlight reel footnote. Jeremy crowns Wemby the league's new “alpha predator,” unpacks Anthony Edwards' Taskmaster-style skill upgrades, and spotlights BJ Edgecombe's 34-point TD Garden statement.The pace never slows: the Hornets as must-watch League Pass chaos, the Clippers looking AARP, and a masterclass on how the Warriors still win with brains—blitzing Luka, weaponizing Steph's gravity, and letting Draymond orchestrate. It's the Elam Ending for podcasts: no set runtime, Jeremy sets the target score, hits the game-winner, and gets out—after teeing up Warriors-Nuggets and a stacked week ahead. Hoops avalanche. Bring a floatie.

Mark Yarbro and Will open with a hilarious mea culpa—Will walks back his all-time worst take (no, Dave Gettleman is not in the Hall of Fame). From there, the guys dig into college football's chaos: Curt Cignetti locking in at Indiana and why it feels sustainable, Miami's step-back and what “the U is back” really means, plus Vanderbilt's rise behind swaggering QB Diego Pavia. They scan the slate ahead (Virginia at UNC, Oklahoma–Ole Miss, A&M at LSU) and talk playoff résumés as “quality wins” get harder to find.On the pro side, it's coach hot-seat season: why Mike McDaniel may not survive the year, how Brian Daboll hangs on, and what Woody Johnson's comments say about the Jets' dysfunction. They hit the NFL headlines (Denver's wild rally, Tampa's offensive struggles, the Rams looking for real, Seattle with Sam Darnold, and Indianapolis humming) before switching to October baseball—Game 7 magic and the World Series set—along with a rant about Fox running a split-screen ad in the top of the ninth. The new “Get Off My Lawn” segment swings at both TV execs and the “football is soft now” crowd. Plus: a spooky “Three on Three” pop-culture draft of horror flicks (from Halloween to Children of the Corn).

On this week's Carolina Confidential, Gerrell Wheeler celebrates a long-awaited moment — the Carolina Panthers are 4–3 and above .500 for the first time since 2021. Gerrell breaks down the Panthers' gritty 13–6 win over the Jets, highlighting a dominant defensive performance featuring six sacks, two JC Horn interceptions, and a resurgent pass rush led by Derrick Brown.But while the defense shines, Gerrell isn't letting the offense off the hook. He dives into the inconsistency on offense, the impact of Bryce Young's injury, and how Andy Dalton and the running game must step up against the Bills and Packers.Plus, he explains why coordinator shifts under Ejiro Evero and Dave Canales are finally paying off — and why optimism is cautiously returning to Charlotte. The city's buzzing again, and as Gerrell puts it: “This is what the rebuild is supposed to look like.”

THE! Mario Washington, The Dok, and LJ unpack a brutal college football weekend—Miami's Friday-night frustration, a stack of Top-25 losses, and whether the 12-team CFP makes slip-ups meaningless. They debate the ACC's strength, the right vs. wrong way to use the transfer portal, NIL's new power dynamics, and how mid-season firings derail players, recruiting, and timelines.Then the crew shifts to the NBA's opening week and what it actually costs to watch hoops in 2025—league pass, streaming apps, and cable bundles that can push fans toward a four-figure bill—plus some love for over-the-air games and what's next for studio shows. They wrap with Finals and MVP picks (Jokić? Luka? a sleeper out East), and rapid-fire NFL selections for the week—Falcons-Fins, Giants-Eagles, Bills-Panthers, Chiefs and more.
