Jonathan Taylor As the Pivot Training Camp tour hits Indianapolis, one of the league's best Running Backs Jonathan Taylor sits with the guys for an in-depth conversation about his football journey—from his early days at Salem High School in New Jersey to his dominant college career at Wisconsin to becoming one of the NFL's premier running backs with the Indianapolis Colts...JT's transcendent path is one everyone can learn from. Taylor opens up on making it to the league, the work behind becoming one of the most productive backs in football, and what it means to earn a new deal and continue building his legacy in Indianapolis.

7:00 - Tom McDonald reviews "Song Sung Blue"7:20 - Coach Philip Rivers looks forward to the upcoming St. Michael Football season7:40 - Deacon Bill Harkins has our Sunday Gospel Reflection

The Technician ran a piece headlined "don't let the Doeren hit you on the way out," twelve days before the season starts. Sub .500 in conference, no ACC Championship appearances, a losing bowl record.Here is what that argument leaves out. Dave Doeren inherited a 2013 roster that gave up 35 points in a single quarter to Florida State. Take those eight losses off his record and he goes from a .48 coach to a .52 coach. And NC State has won ten games once in its entire history, with Philip Rivers and four non-conference cupcakes to do it.Then the good news. Ven-Allen Lubin is back for a fifth year, and he did it by turning down Oklahoma and Will Wade at LSU. Wade said at his introductory press conference that he would find fifteen players in the portal. He is at four, and the two he chased hardest, Paul McNeil and Lubin, both said no while NC State was almost certainly not the highest bidder.Ethan's Stat Pack digs into what Lubin actually needs to improve, which is not the offense. Torvik has NC State 26th nationally and fifth in the ACC, behind Duke, Virginia, Louisville and Miami, and that is before any step forward on defense.Plus why the Wolfpack is a five and a half point underdog at Virginia, the new Fort Bragg partnership and the Wolfpack Warriors uniforms for the September 11 home opener, Jamel Johnson returning at corner, and a men's soccer team that might be the best program on campus.11 days until NC State at Virginia.Follow Tuffy Talk wherever you listen, and catch us live every Monday at 8:30 PM on YouTube.Support the show on Patreon, 12 members-only NC State breakdowns a month for $5: patreon.com/c/tuffytalk#ad Powered by Oconee Gold BBQ.

Steve Hartman and Veejay Huskey go hard on QBs they like and don’t like going into the season, focusing on Jayden Daniels, Carson Beck, Jalen Hurts and more. They have serious thoughts on some quarterback’s chances at being a first-time Hall of Famer, including Ben Roethlisberger, Eli Manning, Philip Rivers and Matt Ryan, as well as coaches Marty Schottenheimer, Mike Holmgren and more. MLB Network analyst Jon Paul Morosi then joined to rap about the Shohei Ohtani vs. Pete Crow-Armstrong MVP race and what the future looks like for Jacob Misiorowski. Those stories, plus another episode of Uncle Veejay’s Corner.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We got asked to submit our top 5 NC State football players of all time. The list got rejected, because Philip Rivers wasn't on it.Layton stands by it anyway: Ted Brown, Torry Holt, Bradley Chubb, Mario Williams, Adrian Wilson. Greg argues you cannot build a top 5 without a quarterback, and brings his own list. Ethan watches the two of them go at it.Before that: a federal judge just granted an entire class of athletes a fifth year of eligibility, and three former Wolfpack basketball players are caught in the middle, with Ven-Allen Lubin looking like the most likely to return. Plus whether a player who transfers away still counts as one of ours, and a response to the writer who called NC State's defensive line the thinnest he can remember.25 days until NC State opens at Virginia.New episodes every week — follow so you never miss one.Support Tuffy Talk on Patreon: 12 members-only NC State breakdowns a month for $5 — patreon.com/c/tuffytalkFollow us:Twitter/X: @tuffytalknowGreg "The Leg" Haas: @PackFanInNOVAEthan Barry: @ncstatestats#NCState #GoPack #Wolfpack #TuffyTalkSend us Fan MailSupport the showNew episodes every week.

Anthony Lima presses Lance Reisland to name a starting quarterback with no pads on, and Reisland doesn't hesitate, picking Deshaun Watson because of his ten years of experience and command of offensive concepts, while noting that's subject to change once real competition begins. He explains Dillon Gabriel and Taylor Green were actually the best quarterbacks in yesterday's practice, but stresses context matters since Shedeur Sanders and the young receivers were going against Denzel Ward and Mason Graham. Reisland and Lima also debate the meaning of a "fair" QB competition, using Joe Flacco and Philip Rivers as examples of veterans outperforming younger passers once real games start.

We said Chris Dunn is the greatest kicker in NC State history, some of you were furious, so we settled a bigger question: at how many positions does NC State actually have an UNDISPUTED GOAT? Ethan, Greg, Macon and Layton go position by position — and only three names survive.Before the debate: Jacoby Brissett's new deal with Arizona, worth up to $21 million. UNC's general manager getting put on paid administrative leave five weeks before kickoff. And the three defensive transfers who could swing NC State's season.Then Ethan closes with the question nobody's ready for — with four-star Gunner Rivers, Philip's son, on the way, who's actually NC State's starting quarterback a year from now?The three undisputed GOATs, the one that got away, and a whole lot of arguing in between.New episodes every week — follow so you never miss one.Support Tuffy Talk on Patreon: 12 members-only NC State breakdowns a month for $5 — patreon.com/c/tuffytalkFollow us:Twitter/X: @tuffytalknowGreg "The Leg" Haas: @PackFanInNOVAEthan Barry: @ncstatestats#NCState #GoPack #Wolfpack #TuffyTalkSend us Fan MailSupport the showNew episodes every week.

Full Hour 1 in The Sports Bar. Gene reacts to the layoffs at ESPN. Plus what did Heather Dinich say about the SEC? What MLB "Unwritten Rules" were broken in the Pirates-Yankees fight? Aaron Rodgers supposedly rekindled his relationship with his family. Don't forget about Timmy's hot take.

Send us Fan MailThe Carolina Hurricanes are about to throw a parade twenty years in the making. Layton and Ethan open with the scale of it — over 100,000 fans expected in downtown Raleigh this Saturday, a city that's been partying nonstop since the Cup came home, and a fanbase that somehow manages to unite NC State, UNC, Duke, and Wake Forest fans under one roof at Lenovo Center. But this isn't really a hockey episode. It's an episode about why the Canes' championship run matters to the Wolfpack too.It starts with a number. Rod Brind'Amour — now the first player-turned-coach to win a title with the same franchise since 1956 — wears 17 for Carolina. Philip Rivers wore 17 for NC State. Neither connection was planned, but as Layton puts it, numbers have a funny way of working themselves out. From there, the episode digs into Justin Gainey's full-circle moment — the same man who scored the first basket ever in what's now Lenovo Center back in the late 90s is the one who rang the ceremonial siren before Game 1 of the Canes' first-round series, and is now NC State's head coach in that very building.Then the story turns to Carter-Finley Stadium, where the Canes hosted a Stadium Series outdoor game against Washington in 2023 — complete with the NC State marching band, Mr. and Mrs. Wolf, and Wolf hands thrown up mid-celebration. Ethan calls it one of the best live sporting events he's ever attended. Just days later, the Frozen Finley college hockey game drew over 25,000 fans, completely overwhelming the merchandise table.The episode closes on the practical stuff that actually matters for NC State's future — the $300 million Lenovo Center renovation now accelerating because of the Cup run, the $1 billion of development planned around the arena, and why playing home games in a real professional arena has quietly been one of NC State basketball's best recruiting tools for years. And finally, the big debate: would an NC State men's basketball national championship draw a parade anywhere close to the size of what the Canes are getting this weekend? Ethan isn't so sure — but he'd love to find out.Tuffy Talk is NC State's home for sports talk, hot takes, and everything Wolfpack. New episodes every Monday at 8:30 PM ET on YouTube.

Send us Fan MailChris Hart didn't wait. In his first week as NC State's head coach, he landed two transfer portal commits from the same program — infielder Hunter Warren and left-handed pitcher Chet Lax, both from Wright State. Layton, Greg, and Ethan break down both additions in full, debate which one is the bigger get, and dig into what their numbers against SEC competition actually tell you about how they'll translate to the ACC.Warren hit .328 with a .831 OPS across 61 games in 2025, won Horizon League Freshman of the Year, and posted an .856 OPS in 23 plate appearances against Tennessee and Georgia. Lax went seven innings against Tennessee with a 0.82 ERA across 11 innings of SEC competition, showing the kind of stuff that projects as a legitimate weekend starter. Both were First Team All-Horizon League. Both are exactly the profile Hart and Avent have always targeted — proven smaller-school D1 talent that translates up.Then the full offseason rundown. The Brazil game is cancelled and moved to Charlottesville — NC State nets roughly $1.15 million after travel expenses, but is now a five and a half point underdog in what was supposed to be a neutral site opener. Rett Johnson earns NCBWA 2nd Team Freshman All-American honors. Colt Hauser commits to the 2027 football class — and yes, his dad is Cole Hauser, Rip Wheeler from Yellowstone. Alex Scott commits over Tennessee and Texas A&M. Gunnar Rivers visits Raleigh wearing Philip Rivers' retired number 17 — and the debate about whether he'll actually wear it if he commits is genuinely one of the most interesting conversations of the offseason. LuJames Groover gets called up to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Diana Schneider reaches the French Open semifinals as a top 25 player in the world. Jacob Smith officially drops football for baseball only.Ethan closes with the Stat Pack — Warren and Lax's numbers against SEC pitching and hitting broken down fully, what a 2.5 WAR Hunter Warren looks like in NC State's 2027 lineup, and the sacrifice bunt debate that may never get resolved.Tuffy Talk is NC State's home for sports talk, hot takes, and everything Wolfpack.

Whitlock goes in today on DK Metcalf and Sherrone Moore. DK is an idiot for punching a lions fan, and Ryan Clark and all the race baiters want to give him an excuse. They want new 'protocols' to protect the players. It's a joke. Whitlock then brings Sherrone Moore into the conversation. Sherrone is a DEI hire installed by Jim Harbaugh, and the Athletic just exposed him. This dude has no common sense. Despite the 49ers winning, Philip Rivers looked great last night. What's going on in the NFL? There's no way a dude should be able to come off the couch after 5 years and be effective in the NFL. Is this testament to Philip Rivers' greatness, or just how bad football has become?

On this NFL recap, The Boys, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan, are joined by Greg Olsen to break down everything from NFL Week 15. The boys start with Philip Rivers ripping it at 44, proving once again that age might actually just be a number.
