Who all played well? How did Josh Conerly look on the Offensive Line against Maxx Crosby? What about Ben Sinnott in relief of John Bates?On the defensive side of the ball, we highlight the good, the bad, and do a mini deep dive on Dorance Armstrong, who has been nothing short of spectacular to start the season. Bobby Wagner is highlighted as excellent in rushing the passer, but poor in coverage, and speaking of coverage, how on earth did Tre Tucker go off for 8 catches, 145 yards and 3 TDs??The Side Piece Report sees both of Amit's team suffer horrible losses. The Falcons got blanked 30-0 against the Carolina Panthers, while the Patriots had 5 turnovers in a 1 score game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

This week, we have a truly special guest—Peter Kaestner, the first person in history to see over 10,000 bird species in the wild. It's a mind-blowing achievement. Peter took us on an unforgettable journey through his life as a birder, and how his career as a diplomat allowed him to travel the globe. He shared incredible stories—like birding in Colombia during the height of Pablo Escobar's power, and even discovering a new species. His passion, humor, and humility made this such a joy to record. Honestly, we were having so much fun, none of us wanted the conversation to end. You'll hear us try to wrap it up multiple times but then just get into some more fun stories and conversation. As always, you've got married ornithologists and Field Museum curators John Bates and Shannon Hackett, plus RJ Pole and Amanda Marquart.Here are links to our social and YouTube pages, give us a follow: YouTube Instagram TikTok BlueSky
