Podcasts about NFL

Recorded: May 19, 2022 | JJ Redick came on the bus back in 2022 and delivered one of the most honest, insightful, and hilarious conversations the boys have ever had. From the jump, JJ gets into ranking players in today’s NBA, breaking down what actually separates the greats from the elites, and why those conversations get so heated. The boys dive into the anxiety of starting a podcast and how JJ transitioned from the league into media, including the mental side of knowing when it’s time to walk away from basketball. They also get into a fascinating comparison between NBA players vs. NFL players and how differently each league operates behind the scenes. JJ opens up about what it was like being one of the most hated college athletes in the country, sharing stories from his Duke days that shaped his mindset and career. He also gets real about his lowest moment, the routines that keep him grounded, and why therapy has played such a big role in his life both during and after basketball. Things take a turn with one of the most legendary Tier Talk's in Bussin' history where the boys debate the best pizzas. The show ends with the ultimate debate: MJ or LeBron?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to the Daily Juice presented by Hard Rock Bet with Matt Perrault!

In This Episode: On this episode of The Audible, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom dive into a massive week of NFL news and notes, headlined by the Broncos trading for Jaylen Waddle — one of the league's most explosive young receivers. What does Waddle's arrival mean for Bo Nix, Sean Payton's offense, and Denver's 2026 outlook. Did the Broncos just land the missing piece. The fellas also break down the Vikings adding Kyler Murray, a move that suddenly turns Minnesota's QB room into one of the most fascinating in the league. Is this a true competition with J.J. McCarthy, or a bridge move with upside. And how does Murray fit Kevin O'Connell's system. Plus, rapid‑fire reactions to the rest of the week's biggest transactions, rumors, and fantasy fallout.   watch on YouTube -> https://youtu.be/KFU6Yx7rn4w   

In this episode, I sit down with former NFL tight end Greg Olsen — a man who built one of the most decorated careers in professional football, but whose greatest story has nothing to do with what happened on the field. We talk about Greg's upbringing in an all-boys household led by a high school football coach father who pushed hard, loved harder, and never let his kids settle for less than their best. Those lessons — accountability, perseverance, and doing the hard things when no one's watching — are ones Greg still carries and now passes on to his own kids. We also get into the youth sports landscape today, the difference between a helicopter parent and what Greg calls a "Zamboni parent," and why letting your kids face real adversity early is one of the greatest gifts you can give them. Greg's philosophy is simple: you can teach skills, but you cannot coach desire. But the heart of this conversation is TJ. Greg opens up about the moment an ultrasound revealed that his son TJ had hypoplastic left heart syndrome — a condition where only one side of the heart is functional and is 100% fatal if left untreated. He walks us through what it was like to be a husband, a father to other kids at home, and a starting NFL player — all while his newborn son was recovering from open heart surgery. And how he and his wife Cara made a conscious decision every single day to stay aligned, take turns being strong for each other, and refuse to let the weight of the uncontrollable destroy what they had built together. This episode will challenge you, move you, and remind you that the measure of a man is not how he performs when everything is going well — it's how he leads when he has absolutely no control. Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction to the Dad Edge mission and the movement to raise leaders of families and communities [1:01] Why this replay hits differently the second time — and what makes Greg Olsen's story so powerful [2:44] Greg's upbringing: an all-boys household, a football coach dad, and a life built around sports and high expectations [7:29] Why Greg wouldn't trade his demanding childhood for anything — and the lessons he still carries today [8:46] When dad is also coach: the life lessons sports instilled in Greg that carried him to the NFL [9:27] The harder a coach pushes you, the more they believe in you — and why parents today have lost sight of this [11:39] The Zamboni parent: why over-protecting kids from adversity sets them up to fail in the real world [14:02] Finding the balance — building kids' confidence while still holding them to a real standard [23:43] How Greg coaches his own kids differently: effort is the only thing he'll call out from the sideline [26:24] The parents who don't show up to practice but have all the answers on game day — Greg's take [29:05] The moment everything changed: finding out at an ultrasound that TJ had a serious congenital heart defect [30:33] What hypoplastic left heart syndrome is — and why it's 100% fatal if left undetected [32:24] How Greg and his wife Cara made a conscious decision to stay aligned through the unthinkable [34:25] Wearing three hats at once: spouse, parent at home, parent at the hospital — and still performing on the field [36:19] The hardest part for a fixer: facing something you cannot work, solve, or control [37:17] Larry shares his own story of losing a son — and the helplessness every man feels when he can't protect his family [39:39] Greg's response: how he navigated grief, kept the family moving, and put his own needs last [41:59] Why you can't sit on the couch feeling sorry for yourself — even when no one would blame you [44:02] Larry's 14-year-old son's questions for Greg: what kept you focused at my age? [45:17] The moment at 14 that clicked — getting a scholarship offer from the University of Miami and realizing this could be bigger than high school [47:03] Long-term vision over short-term comfort: why every hard decision Greg made in high school was worth it [49:48] Why today's kids face more distraction than ever — and what Greg would tell them [50:04] The kind of friends that will make or break you — Greg's advice on who to surround yourself with [53:32] What Greg would tell his 14-year-old self: stop and smell the roses, because the hard stuff is coming [57:04] What Greg wants from every kid he coaches: great attitude, great teammate, and fiercely competitive Five Key Takeaways The harder a coach or parent pushes you, the more they believe in you. When they stop pushing, they've stopped seeing potential. Protecting your kids from every hard thing is not love — it's setting them up to fail. Let them face adversity early, while the stakes are still low. When crisis hits your family, the most important decision you can make is to stay aligned with your spouse. If you two fall apart, everything falls apart. Men are wired to fix things — but some of life's hardest seasons require you to simply show up, support, and surrender control. That's not weakness. That's leadership. You can teach skills, but you cannot coach desire. If your kid has a competitive fire and a great attitude, they will find their way — in sports and in life.

Greg Olsen had every reason to fall apart. A newborn son fighting for his life. Two other kids at home. A wife who needed him. A season that wouldn't pause. And yet, he and Cara chose every single day to stay aligned, to keep moving, and to give their kids the most normal, love-filled life they could. That is the standard. That is what it means to lead a family. If this episode moved you, share it with a father who is carrying something heavy right now and needs to be reminded that he is not alone. Go out and live legendary.

From 03/20 Hour 2: The Sports Junkies break down the Washington Commanders new stadium.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they highlight Senate Republicans exposing Democrats' hypocrisy on voter ID, rising energy pressures tied to the Iran conflict, and the death of legendary actor and martial artist Chuck Norris.First, they credit Ohio Sen. Jon Husted for proving Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democrats don't mean it when they claim to support requiring photo ID in order to vote. They also point out the Democrats have a long history of opposing Voter ID under any circumstances and use absurd & inflammatory rhetoric to oppose GOP efforts to secure our elections.Next, Jim breaks down how Iran's recent missile strike on a liquefied natural gas facility in Qatar, along with tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, will strain global energy markets and drive up prices. He also explains why the war needs to continue and whether our energy independence will help to insulate the U.S.Finally, they remember martial arts icon, actor, and conservative activist Chuck Norris, who passed away at age 86. Jim and Greg discuss how Norris became a popular voice in GOP politics and how he became a larger than life figure who was beloved by people of all political stripes. Jim and Greg also have fun reciting their favorite "Chuck Norris Facts."Please visit our great sponsors:Your emotional well-being matters. Find support and feel lighter in therapy with BetterHelp.

March 20, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 109 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing why there are more trades around the NFL this offseason, and specifically, ahead of the draft, then ever before. The Steelers had a very noticeable presence at the North Dakota State pro day on Thursday to see QB Cole Payton go through his paces. We discuss the meaning of that, who went to see Payton, and the Steelers bringing in Payton for a pre-draft visit on Friday. Three other draft hopeful players are joining Payton in Pittsburgh for visits with the Steelers on Friday, so Alex and I discuss Washington CB Tacario Davis, Texas Tech ILB Jacob Rodriguez, and Georgia Tech G Keylan Rutledge. Alex and I also discuss Alabama WR Germie Bernard scheduled to come to town soon and Illinois DL James Thompson Jr. and Pittsburgh LB Kyle Louis both visiting with the team on Thursday. With the annual Michigan pro day scheduled to take place on Friday, Alex and I wonder if Steelers HC Mike McCarthy and GM Omar Khan will be attending it and especially with four pre-draft visitors being in Pittsburgh to meet with the team. Later in this Friday show, we go over the most recent 2026 salary cap update that I posted on Thursday for the Steelers. This 94-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the above recap and we end this show by answering several emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

The guys, still confounded over Santa Clara not fouling up 3 with just seconds to go, wonder if that decision is the worst a coach can make.

Spring training may not tell the whole story, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into the parts that actually matter. They compare the Mets' clearer right field picture with the Yankees' tougher rotation calls, debating whether Carlos Lagrange has earned a real shot and how much stock to put into Ryan Weathers' rough spring versus the Yankees' longer-term plans. The conversation also branches into bigger sports questions, from how teams should handle young pitching and bullpen needs to whether flag football specialists could really outperform NFL players in that format. They wrap the opening stretch with a lively debate on the NCAA Tournament, the fading relevance of the NIT, and whether expansion should create more meaningful paths for deserving mid-majors.

The final stretch zeroes in on the chaos of scheduling season, as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down all the possibilities for the Giants' season opener and why certain matchups feel long overdue. From the surprising lack of recent openers against the Eagles to the appeal of facing a top contender early, they explore what would make the most sense—and what fans should actually want. Things spiral into a full New York sports juggling act as they realize a potential nightmare scenario: Giants, Jets, and Mets-Yankees all happening at once. The guys debate which games would draw the most attention, how fans would manage it, and what the league might ultimately decide. They also touch on quirky scheduling trends, international NFL expansion logistics, and even a bizarre crossover moment involving Jameis Winston appearing on a Yankees-Giants broadcast.

March Madness opens the conversation as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber discuss the strange mix of pain and redemption that comes with unforgettable losses, and whether a championship run can truly erase the sting of history. The early focus also turns to local tournament storylines, including St. John's, Hofstra, and LIU, as the hosts set the stage for a big day in college basketball and what New York-area fans should be watching. From there, the debate shifts hard into football as Evan and Tiki tackle the NFL's possible move to an 18-game season with players limited to 17 appearances. They break down why the idea sounds simple in theory but quickly becomes messy in practice, from locker-room mentality and player pay to lineup strategy, injury concerns, and the risk of creating games that feel forced or compromised.

St. John's takes center stage as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into the pressure surrounding the Red Storm's tournament opener and what a win or loss would mean for Rick Pitino's run in New York. They also revisit the emotional pull of redemption in sports, from historic heartbreak to championship payback, and why some losses never fully disappear unless a title follows right behind them. The conversation shifts to the NFL, where Evan and Tiki break down the growing idea of an 18-game season with players capped at 17 appearances, debating whether it is smart, unworkable, or completely against an athlete's mindset. From strategy headaches and player compensation to Giants and Jets draft talk, roster-building concerns, and a lively back-and-forth over New York sports expectations, the episode mixes serious football debate with the kind of sharp, funny chaos that drives great sports radio.

The pressure is on the Johnnies to get out of the weekend alive, plus the NFL may have an interesting quirk coming
