The Titans struck a new stadium deal in the Music City, & @joerexrode joined us to explain what it'll be like, who's paying the tab, and whether fans are happy about it. We also talk Amy Adams Strunk, Ryan Tannehill, and compare the sports cultures of Nashville and Detroit.Up top, the crew take on the NFL's most mischievous yachtsman, Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder.

As always, they pick the full slate of NFL games straight up AND against the spread!
The Trash Panda Buffet that is the 2022 NFL season continues! Week 3 was full of high highs, low lows, high lows, and low highs. From the Dolphins beating the Bills despite their #ButtPunt, to Jimmy Garoppolo Dan Orlovsky-ing his way to a Broncos upset on SNF, there was so much to react to.AND THEN THEY KILLED THE PRO BOWL, LIVE ON AIR.

ACTUAL #NFL FOOTBALL got played this weekend, and @TwitterSpaces played host to the crew's Key Takeaways from the first full slate of preseason action. We talk Deshaun Watson's "apology," the Patriots splitting reps at offensive coordinator (?!), quarterbacks looking good (Jared Goff, Trey Lance, Malik Willis, Mitchell Trubisky, Kenny Pickett) and bad (Jordan Love), and the Cowboys' Texas-sized heap of issues against Houston.
