Ben Volin of the Boston Globe joins to weigh in on Bill Belichick being left off the first-ballot Hall of Fame, explaining that it's more about the cheating scandals than Belichick's relationship with the media. Volin breaks down how the Hall of Fame voting process works, why it would be outrageous for Robert Kraft to get in before Belichick, and suggests expanding the voter pool to prevent a few questionable ballots from swaying outcomes.

Volin also offers praise for new head coach Mike Vrabel and the direction New England is heading

Joe and the crew continue to react to Bill Belichick being snubbed as a first-ballot Hall of Famer, arguing that the Patriots dynasty remains the greatest in NFL history.

They also note the scrutiny on Hall of Fame voters and the backlash they're receiving.

The conversation turns to Bill Belichick being left off the first-ballot Hall of Fame as Dave Hyde shares insight from his time as a Baseball Hall of Fame voter, explaining how personal, tense, and uncomfortable the process can become. While he understands why some voters may have held Belichick's cheating scandals against him, Dave says he still would have voted him in. The discussion includes Jimmy Johnson's claim that similar rule-bending has been common across the league and raises questions about whether Tom Brady could face similar treatment and if Robert Kraft may have influenced the outcome behind the scenes.

Hour 1 is dives into Heat trade rumors as Joe and Dave Hyde debate whether Miami realistically has the assets to pursue Giannis Antetokounmpo, with the missing 2027 first-round pick from the Terry Rozier deal looming large. The conversation expands to the Heat's inconsistency, the lack of a true superstar, and why it may be time for a major move—even if Dave isn't sold on options like Ja Morant. They also touch on the Panthers feeling the impact of life without Barkov and how stars elevate everyone around them. The hour shifts to Bill Belichick being left off the first-ballot Hall of Fame, as Dave shares insight from his own time as a Hall of Fame voter and explains how personal the process can get, while questioning if cheating scandals, voter feelings, and even Robert Kraft played a role

Then, he chats with writer and Pro Football Hall of Fame voter Gary Myers about why Bill Belichick was not elected to the hall of fame this year, flaws in the voting process, and Robert Kraft's case for the hall of fame (45:15).

Send JD a text message and be heard!Did a deep dive on #billbelichick snub by @profootballhof & one of the writers said he had three votes for 5 people.  Ken Anderson & Roger Craig very good but not HOF.  Craig has a strong argument being named to 1980's all-decade team and did have a 1000 yards rushing and receiving in 1985. LC Greenwood was a huge part of @steelers #steelcurtain dynasty.  Robert Kraft great owner and had Bill & TB12 fall into his lap and the rest is history. But 11 voters passed on Bill because of #spygate & #deflategate cmon! 6 #superbowl wins as HC 8 total & 12 total appearances in the big game.  Over 300 wins in the @nfl regular season.  It's a no contest.  @clevelandbrowns Dawg pound how do we feel about the Todd Monken signing?  He knows his offense. @buffalobills Joe Brady involved with @lsufootball 2019 super team. Now he gets @joshallenqb all to himself and hold on to the football.   @nyjets NINE coaching openings including your OC & DC & Glenn after the 188-54 demolition over the last five games says he's calling the defense.  So why hire Brian Duker?  This franchise is an embarrassment right up there with the @azcardinals & @raiders still searching for a coach.   @yankees traded for @rockies reliever Angel Chivilli who stunk last year.  But they think they can fix him.  @brianbarnaby great things happening this year.  @nyrangers @artemiypanarin likely done with team but @thomaswdonovan got first win @thegarden in 2026.  @nyknicks second in the East right now on four game win streak.  @pennstatemhky playing outside this weekend vs @msu_hockey only two undefeated cbb teams @arizonambb & @miamioh_bball & sports trivia at the finish.All sports.

Troy Polamalu said that the Steelers had the mentality in practice that week that they needed to block and be set for an interception and runback from Mike Tomlin. Bill Belichick is in a voting poll with three senior category players and Patriots owner Robert Kraft. A Hall of Fame voter in Kansas City voted for three senior players because he doesn't know if they will ever make the Hall and this might be their last chance.

Jason channels Oliver Stone, exposing that Bill Polian did not act alone in the assassination of Bill Belichick's Hall of Fame bid. Was it an inside job orchestrated by Patriots owner Robert Kraft? Jason lists his five motives for Belichick being passed over, including being a Donald Trump supporter. Will this cleanse Belichick's failure at North Carolina, his relationship with Jordon Hudson, etc.? Is he now a martyr?

McChesney also discusses whether Deion Sanders wants the Cleveland Browns' head coaching job, as well as his intention to fine his players this season. Matt also shares the real deal on Jordan Seaton transferring to LSU. Fehoko explains why he favors the Steelers hiring Mike McCarthy while he's soured on the Bills hiring Joe Brady.

Hour 2 is dominated by the fallout from Bill Belichick being denied first-ballot Hall of Fame honors, with Joe questioning whether this is a one-year punishment or something deeper tied to personality, scandals, and personal feelings from voters. The conversation expands to Robert Kraft's reported role in Belichick missing out on past job opportunities, Tom Brady's power and legacy after leaving New England, and whether cheating should impact Hall of Fame cases at all. Hall of Famer Jimmy Johnson joins the show and calls the snub “ridiculous,” downplaying Spygate and praising Belichick's love for coaching while insisting he'll get in next year. Jimmy also weighs in on Miami landing Darian Mensah and the Bills hiring Joe Brady as head coach.

Joe Rose dives into a jam-packed show covering football, basketball, and college sports. He reacts to the shocking news that Bill Belichick was left off the first-ballot Hall of Fame, exploring whether past scandals or personal dynamics with Robert Kraft and Tom Brady influenced voters, and contrasts Belichick's situation with Don Shula's integrity. College football takes center stage as Joe breaks down the transfer portal, the Hurricanes officially landing Duke QB Darian Mensah, and why starting at smaller schools before moving up is often the smartest path for young players. The Miami Heat get a check-in from play-by-play voice Eric Reid, discussing back-to-back wins, Tyler Herro trade buzz, Bam Adebayo's leadership, and underrated stars like Andrew Wiggins. NFL Network's Marc Ross weighs in on Hurricanes opting out of the Senior Bowl, the coaching carousel, and the ongoing shortage of NFL-quality quarterbacks, while the show closes with a feature from the owner of Chill Zone AC.

Joe breaks down the shock of Bill Belichick being left off the first-ballot Hall of Fame, exploring the dynamic between Belichick, Robert Kraft, and Tom Brady, and comparing the snub to MLB's steroid-era controversy. Hollywood debates whether past cheating should permanently affect Hall of Fame consideration. The conversation then shifts to the Miami Hurricanes, who have added key pieces in the transfer portal, including new offensive linemen, receivers, and pass rushers, as the program works to replace players headed to the NFL. The hour closes with a feature from the owner of Chill Zone AC promoting their product.

What a crappy football weekend, and somehow, it got even dumber. We kick things off with a broken chat, questionable beverage choices, and a very serious Sip, Chug, Drainpour debate featuring Mountain Dew Code Red, Baja Blast, and the OG. Then things spiral fast. Mike Vrabel is officially one win away from having to honor the most reckless podcast promise of all time, which leads us to an honest discussion about which teams we'd be willing to chop it off for. From there, we break down Sam Darnold making history in multiple ridiculous ways: the first USC QB to start a Super Bowl, the first QB from the 2018 draft class to get there, and yes, the first ginga QB to do it. We also uncover possibly the greatest NFL fun fact ever involving Darnold's grandpa, Dick Hammer. We recap an incredibly annoying AFC and NFC Championship weekend, talk Robert Kraft's chance to one-up Belichick, and explain why Bill Belichick should not be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Then we officially declare the Pro Bowl dead, with Shadeur Sanders as the final nail in the coffin. Plus: • Team USA Skeleton drama at the Olympics • Sip, Chug, Drainpour on recent NFL coaching hires • The College Football Playoff staying at 12 teams with carve-outs for the P4 and Notre Dame • NCAA uniform patches and who's absolutely selling their soul first • MLB The Show pulling a dumb fake-out before giving Aaron Judge the cover • A Clippers fan forced to eat his own tweet • The completely unhinged Charles Bediako Alabama / G League situation • And a bettor sentenced to a full month of Wendy's chili after doubting Scottie Scheffler This was, in fact, a show.

Brooks Koepka's Return | Farmers 2026 Preview | Kraft Has What on Goodell? | Landman Season FinaleOn the show we chat through the Brooks Koepka return to the PGA Tour at the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open. Did he really call Tiger Woods first to let him know of his return the the PGA Tour? Could it have been Fred Couples? We chat through Scottie Scheffler's first win of the season. Should we just bet Scottie every week? We think this bet wins money in 2026. For the Superbowl, we're all in on the Seahawks. What happened to Drake Maye in the playoffs? He seems to be a little overhyped with the easy schedule and didn't deliver MVP goods in the playoffs. Are we sure the Robert Kraft didn't allegedly say that he was thankful for the easy season and Roger Goodell was certainly not on the Orchids of Asia or Epstein lists? Finally, we get into Landman Season 2 and the finale. This seems like a bit of an Instagram show of Taylor Sheridan just showing off all the time like they did with Billions. The finale felt like a Chip and Joanna Reveal show and it was a horribly written season. However, as long as Billy Bob is in Season 2, we'll be all in!! Cheers.

The Packers defensive coordinator search just got serious with Jonathan Gannon emerging as a legitimate candidate. Ryan breaks down what the former Cardinals head coach and Eagles DC architect would bring to Green Bay, including his "prevent big plays" philosophy and four-man pressure scheme that generated 70 sacks in Philadelphia's Super Bowl run.

Never happened—LeFleur never made a formal offer.
