Adam’s + 1
by Adam Myles Hawkins
Each week, Adam breaks down the NFL through smart analysis, quarterback debates, roster construction conversations, and the macro storylines shaping the league. From salary cap strategy to offseason power shifts to the quarterback hierarchy — this is a show built for fans who want to understand why things happen, not just react to them. And when the moment calls for it, Adam brings in a “+1” — fans, bettors, and sharp football minds — for deeper, conversational episodes that mix analysis, opinion, and real perspective from people who live and breathe the game. Football is the foundation. Sharp conversation is the standard.
