Sportzball

At Sportzball, we’re a podcast about the NFL… sort of. We don’t obsess over inches and yards—we’re more interested in the dumb thing that wide receiver said. While pundits obsess over the next GOAT, we attempt to bring joy to your miserable Mondays (because let’s be honest, the next GOAT probably isn’t on your team). Built on a decade of friendship and obsessive fandom for their opposing teams, we create a welcoming space for the casual fan or the reluctant but supportive partner dragged into game day. Our mission is simple: we want to bring the LALZ (Levity and Laughter… Z is for Sportzball) to your NFL fandom. Join Drew & Des as we redefine sports culture because at the end of the day, it’s just sports—it’s not that serious.

    The NFL Draft is over and so is the Sportzball season :(((

    Why does everything have to come to an end?? The NFL season, bottles of wine, TV shows, and this Sportzball season. Sportzballers, how can the crew thank you enough?? Well Des and Drew will certainly try but first they have to give their takes on the 2026 NFL Draft. After Drew goes over the Dolphin’s 3,004 draft picks and Des addresses the 3 Broncos picks (both those numbers are an exaggeration, sort of) the crew dives into all the draft news including Fernando Mendoza, Ty Simpson, Uar Bernard, and all the other tear jerkers and surprises.    BUT THEN, to bring this season to close, Des and Drew look back at all the amazing moments from the NFL season, the Broncos and Dolphins seasons, and the Sportzball season as a whole. They tear open the mailbag and answer all your pressing questions and try to give you a little taste on what season 2 looks like… once Des and Drew figure out what it’ll look like.    THANK YOU FOR AN INCREDIBLE SEASON SPORTZBALLERS! Couldn’t have done it without you and can’t wait for many more to come.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    The Penner Sports Group buys in on the Colorado Rockies and is De’Von Achane leaving the Dolphins too??

    What a time to be alive this offseason Sportzballers! There is SO much to talk about in the NFL…which is why the crew spent the majority of this episode talking about baseball ownership contracts. With the offseason in full swing, Des and Drew get into everything from The Penner Sports Group purchasing a 40% stake in the Colorado Rockies, to the Dolphins possibly parting ways with De’Von Achane, and Drew is dying to tell us an update on what Paxton Lynch is up to.    The crew also gets into the Seattle Seahawks being up for sale, the Dianni Russini and Mike Vrable controversy and who the hell is Kirk Cousins' agent and PR team and how does he keep getting away with this??   Lastly they discuss how the NFL Draft works and who their eyes are on for the first pick for their team in the NFL Draft. And to no one’s surprise, it’s going to be wrong.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    Des has a mortal enemy (again) and is this the very last time Drew talks about Tua?

    After the insanity of our last episode with the Jaylen Waddle trade, this week is gonna be a chill one, right? WRONG! We’re bringing you all the drama with the MLB season, Project Hail Mary, and the Summer House Bravo Drama! Wait, we're an NFL podcast right? Oh yeah don’t worry that’s all just in the first thirty minutes.    Drew has thoughts on Tua throwing shade on his former team and makes a big announcement about his former QB. Drew also wants everyone to stop saying the Dolphins are tanking and just acknowledge they’re doing the best they can. Des is fired up cause the Broncos actually signed someone in free agency and even gets even more fired up at Draft Kings and admits to crimes live on air. Plus Drew is over Cam Skattebo and NFL Games on Wednesday, Des only agrees with one of those takes, and the crew tries to teach you all more things about the NFL and they’re feeling pretty damn confident about this one.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    JAYLEN WADDLE TRADED TO THE DENVER BRONCOS!!! (Also wellness check on Drew)

    WHAT IN THE FLYING HELL IS GOING ON?!?! The Des and Drew barely had time to wipe the sleep from their eyes and drink their coffee before the NFL world came slamming into focus because that’s right - Jaylen Waddle is headed to the Denver Broncos. And that means it’s basically just Devon Achane and Malik Willis on the team. Des is absolutely over the moon and Drew is trying his best to be happy for her - like his actual best and it’s hard.   League Ke$hup time brings us Dak Prescott’s failed joint bachelor/bachelorette party, Josh Johnson has played on every NFL team, Geno Smith is back with the Jets and where it all started, and Des’ curiosity knows no bounds when it comes to the NFL’s compensatory pick system.   Link to the compensatory episode we spoke about: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2EBckmw3ENWSFxUwGYXe4t?si=IU71pPpKRCiZqKuyohaddQ    Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    Ravens don’t want Maxx Crosby, Dolphins want Malik Willis, and the Broncos… don’t want anything.

    Ok so Des and Drew tried to take a week off but in the middle of free agency might have not been the best time to take a break. Oh well, lesson learned. What in the hell has the last 72 hours been like in free agency?? Maxx Crosby was traded to the Ravens OH WAIT never mind the Ravens backed out. Was it just a regular failed physical or was something more sinister going on and why is Jerry Jones always in the middle of it?   Then the crew discusses how the Broncos basically aren’t doing anything except keeping their own players which is fine but not exciting. Then the Dolphins OFFICIALLY release Tua and Drew can now accept that the Tua era is over, but doesn’t mourn long as a new QB is in town and Drew already can’t get enough of Malik Willis.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    Rookies have a Field Day, new salary cap, and the Dolphins rank first in something??

    Woah, the Sportzball crew took a week off and it feels like it’s been a year. Here’s hoping they never do that again. Oh wait, they’re moving to every other week for the remainder of the season? Oh cool. Anyway, Des was on the internet and wants to talk about all the things she saw like a monkey named Punch, Lion(s) King, pet stores, and dumb new workout trends. Drew just saw a plane on fire.    Moving into the actual NFL, Drew discusses the continuing changes to the Dolphins roster, Tyreek Hill never saying the right thing, AND the Dolphins ranking first in something! In Broncos news, Sean Payton is no longer calling plays and Des’ ex is having all the success in Dallas. Then the crew comes off their rousing success of explaining Free Agency and attempts to now explain the NFL Salary Cap. Will it go better than last episode? No, genuinely, will it? We don’t know.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    Tyreek Hill is OUT and Courtland Sutton is staying PUT

    So uh… not a lot to talk about when there’s no football right? WRONG. Des and Drew have this whole content podcast thing on lock. After they spend way too long talking about living in the middle of a GTA video game, brunching with Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, and the Canadians cheating at the Olympics, they hit the hard hitting news of the NFL.   …even though there really isn’t any. The Dolphins have gotten rid of everyone including Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chubb. Is Tua next? Drew for some reason still doesn’t think it’s official even though Des and pretty much everyone else says it is. And while all players are leaving the Dolphins, does that mean Courtland Sutton is the first to leave the Broncos?? Des breaks down that whole ordeal too.    The crew then introduces a new segment where they try to teach you all something new about football, but they need to learn it too, resulting in no one knowing anything. What could go wrong? WHY DOES FOOTBALL HAVE TO BE OVER.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    Super Bowl LX reactions & Des has a MASSIVE announcement

    HEY, even though Super Bowl 60 was a snoozefest doesn't mean that this episode is going to be… hopefully. The crew breaks down the little crumbs of Broncos and Dolphins news that’s floating around before finally breaking down all of their thoughts of the big game. Drake Maye, Sam Darnold, and everything else about the game PLUS giving their hips a workout with Bad Bunny’s halftime show.   STAY TUNED AT THE END OF THE EPISODE when Des reveals something to Drew that blows his mind and makes him question the last 6 months of this podcast.    Special thanks to our sponsors Editing Solutions for sponsoring today's episode.

    Wait, football keeps going after the Dolphins and Broncos lose?

    A weekend without football doesn’t mean the crew is lacking in things to chat about and yell at each other about. After Drew goes over his trip to AZ, forgetting when his flight was, and getting hit in the head with a golf ball, and Des gets to brag about her new ride, they dive right into the hiring and firings of coaches around the league. They preview the NFL Honors, the Pro Bowl and OH YEAH THE SUPER BOWL IS COMING UP.   Of course the crew previews the big game the best they can. Do the Patriots have any chance at upsetting the Seahawks? Drew looks at some stats and Des relies on Punxsutawney Phil and what color jerseys the Patriots are gonna wear. Drew also throws a hail mary and attempts to climb back in the lead with the Primetime Picks and most importantly, will Charlie Puth keep the National Anthem under two minutes?   Special thanks to our sponsors Editing Solutions for sponsoring today's episode.

    The Broncos season is officially over and Des hasn’t stopped crying

    Des and Drew are fresh off a plane from Denver after Des watched the season of her favorite team in the whole wide world blow away like the snow in the second half of the AFC Championship game. Her tears have thawed and dried away and she’s fine… until about two thirds of the way into the pod. The crew breaks down all of the shenanigans traveling to Denver for the game brought, plus obviously the game itself…if Des is up for it.    Drew does get into like three seconds of Dolphins news, some of the new coaching hires, plus a recap of the NFC Championship game and if the Patriots stand ANY chance against the Seahawks. Also don’t ever sit next to Drew on a plane, or in an elevator, or see him in public in any way because he will go out of his way to talk to you.   Although the Broncos season is over, doesn’t mean Sportzball’s is! We will be breaking down all things NFL news until the draft (end of April). So hang around, let’s talk football, and probably talk a lot of incorrect football.   Special thanks to our sponsors Editing Solutions for sponsoring today's episode.

    The Denver Broncos WON!!!!...but at what cost?

    Des and Drew are in a strange and scary place known as a PROFESSIONAL PODCAST STUDIO! Once they let the excitement of this new place settle down they attempt to get into all the craziness that went down this week in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Well, not before Drew tells not one but two stories of needing Des to pull over cause he’s going to puke. Oh and Des hates Smokey the Bear.   But after that, the crew gets into all the coaching changes as teams start making their new hires and even one more coach got the axe. Drew quickly goes over the Dolphins new head coaching hire, Jeff Hafley before they really get into the meat of the episode: Denver’s epic overtime victory over the Bills and the tragic news of Bo Nix’s season ending injury. The crew then dives into the rest of the Divisional Round craziness including the Seahawks beatdown of the 49ers, The Cardiac Bears’ Cinderella story falling short, and Des is REALLY upset with CJ Stroud.    Special thanks to our sponsors Editing Solutions for sponsoring today's episode.

    Wild Card Weekend was WILD and the NFL has no coaches

    Episode 27 starts off PIPING hot with the news of Mike Tomlin stepping down as the Steeler’s Head Coach after 19 seasons right as Drew and Des sit down to record. After Des convinces Drew that they’re not recording with ESPN in the background, they get straight into NFL news with all the head coaching vacancies, and how McDaniel is doing since his surprise firing and check in on Vance Joseph and the other Broncos staff that are interviewing for coaching jobs.   They then get into one of the best Wild Card Weekends that has ever happened in the history of ever with last minute wins, come from behind victories, and one of the biggest underdogs in playoff history nearly pulling off an upset - and that was just Saturday. The Bears and Patriots were the only home teams to win, we could have watched Aaron Rodgers’ final snap as a football quarterback (thank GOD), and can Eagles fans chill TF out??   After Des and Drew go over all the craziness, they preview the Broncos Bills matchup and get their picks in for all of the remaining playoff games. Also we find out about Des’ “friend” who is obsessed with electromagnetic fields, learn a bit about Troy and greek mythology, and Drew really loves Cheerios.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    !!EMERGENCY POD!! 🚨 Mike McDaniel has been FIRED?!?!??!!

    !!EMERGENCY POD!! The Dolphins have fired Head Coach Mike McDaniel on Thursday marking the end of a four year experiment. The Sportzball crew drops everything to give their take on the firing. Des just sits back and watches Drew talk himself in and out of spiraling into oblivion as he looks into the future of his team.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    Broncos get 1st round bye and Dolphins get a 1st class ticket to Cancun

    And with that, the 2025 regular season comes to an end. Wow Sportzballers, what a time this season was. A podcast was started, we followed two teams throughout a grueling NFL season but now it’s time to reset and get ready for - what? What’s that? The Broncos are still playing games? Oh ok, well the Dolphins season was fun right?    That’s right the Broncos get to kick their feet up and get ready for their Divisional Round playoff game next week while the Dolphins begin their offseason unsure of who their QB is going to be and with no GM. Tua says it would be “dope” to get a fresh start somewhere else and Drew helps him with his bags and opens the door for him. Meanwhile Des tells everyone to stop hating on the Broncos and give them the respect they deserve. League Ke$hup looks at all the head coaches we lost on “Black Monday” and some of their potential replacements. Plus the crew looks at the devastating Ravens’ loss and previews all the upcoming Wild Card Playoff Games.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

  15. 26

    Broncos win the AFC West and can the Dolphins take down the Patriots??

    Des and Drew survived the holiday season, barely, and are back in studio and already driving each other crazy. Speaking of driving, Drew drove to Arizona to visit his girlfriend’s family and got a flat tire and Des couldn’t focus on football cause she was learning how to be an aunt.   As far as football goes, Drew is feeling good about Quinn Ewers and Mike McDaniel on the Dolphins and is pretty sure he’s seen the last of Tua in a Dolphin’s uniform. But none of that matters cause the Broncos are AFC West champs baby! Even though it may have not been the dominant beat down Des wanted, the Broncos swept the Chiefs and are on the verge of clinching the number one seed in the AFC, things are looking good.   Drew is wrong, yet again. He meant Kirk Herbstreit, not Lane Kiffin, with the golden retriever named Peter. Des is debating if she should ever trust him again.   Then the crew goes over a crazy week 17 that sets up an even crazier final week of the season. Will the 49ers or the Seahawks win the 1 seed in the NFC? Why would it be a good thing for the Panthers if they lost against the Buccaneers? Will the Broncos clinch the number one spot in the AFC against the Chargers? Will the Ravens take down Des’ arch nemesis Aaron Rodgers? And can Drew’s Dolphins do the entire NFL a solid and defeat the Patriots?? Everyone cancel your weekend plans, we got a BIG weekend of football ahead.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

  16. 25

    Broncos 1st loss in months and Dolphins 1st loss… since last week

    There were a lot of firsts this week for the Sportzball crew. Des saw her Broncos lose for the first time since September. Drew saw someone other than Tua throw the ball for Dolphins. Des got onto Empower field for the first time. Quinn Ewers started his first NFL game. Des was in attendance for the Broncos loss… oh wait no that’s happened before please for love of God don’t remind Des.    But we don’t need to worry about that! It’s the holiday season and Drew and Des are doing their damnedest to stay cheery. Drew is used to losing so that’s not much of a surprise there but he does get to get into the new little QB drama that’s brewing in Miami and how Tua can’t win in his eyes. Des gets into her experience being at the game, how much she thinks Trevor Lawrence looks like an Easter Island statue mixed with Prince Charming from Shrek 2. She’s also got a big ol bone to pick with the refs.    Around the league lots of insane comeback and overtime wins to get into including Rams/Seahawks & Bears/Packers and that was all before Sunday’s games even started. We had Grandpa Rivers trying his 44-year-old hardest to keep the Colts alive and the Chiefs lost to…the Titans??? Starting QBs are dropping like flies and is Drew ok with players punching fans? The answer…won’t surprise you.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    The Broncos clinch a playoff berth and the Dolphins…well, didn’t

    Well, The Winner’s Warehouse got a little less full this week at Sportzball HQ. The Dolphins fell from their four game winning streak and were officially eliminated from playoff contention. So Drew is doing FINE. He doesn’t think anything is wrong. What’s the first stage of grief again? Oh yeah, denial. But before the crew gets into that they talk about their weekend holiday party, Des and Broncos For Dummies being on the news, and why Drew continues to have horrible ideas.   But yes, we have to talk about the Dolphins game and how much Drew can’t stand watching Tua play football. The good news is he has a massive contract that is near impossible to get out of so… BLOW IT UP as Drew says.   The Broncos is where the real fun is had as the crew discusses their historic winning streak, clinching the playoffs, and how more and more respect needs to be put in Bo’s name. Oh and what the hell should this elite defense be called cause “Orange Rush” is not it.   League Ke$hup brings us talks about major injuries to Patrick Mahomes and Micah Parsons and if the Chiefs Dynasty is over. Plus Joe Burrow finally gets shut out, Myles Garrett is the only thing the Browns have, and Josh Allen throws up every game??   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    The Broncos WIN! The Dolphins WIN! The Sportzballers CAN’T LOSE!!

    Y’all. It’s our fourth consecutive Winner’s Warehouse in a row. That’s redundant because consecutive means in a row. Whatever. The vibes are high at Sportzball HQ. Before the crew gets into football they talk for way too long about love languages and how to perform a doggy DNA test but don’t worry they get to football eventually… sort of.    The Broncos have won 10 in a row and the Fins are right on their heels snagging their 4th win in a row and 5 out of their last 6. So vibes are HIGH. Well sort of. Des is playing a bit hurt today but that’s fine it won't stop her from shouting from the rooftops that the Chiefs reign is DONE and the Broncos are here to stay. The Dolphins have a running game behind De’Von Achane and even if he’s hurt, they’ve got Jaylen Wright and Prince Ollie Gordon right behind him. Tua is… well he’s fine but he didn’t throw a pick AND he won for the first time in sub 46 degree weather so look out MVP Tua might be back.   As we fly on up to a Mile High, the Broncos were bored playing with the lowly Raiders. They scored on their opening drive for the first time all season and watched as Marvin Mims directed traffic as he went for his first punt return touchdown of his career. Des is finally confident that this win will shut up all the haters and doubters and show that Bo Nix and the Broncos are here to stay.    Around the league, teams are sinking and sinking hard. The Eagles, Chiefs, Colts, Commanders, and Ravens are nothing like they were last year and the beginning of this year so what is happening? Do they all need a positivity bunny in their locker room? Maybe not ‘cause we don’t think that works. Plus Des and Drew keep losing at betting but Des has a guy on the inside so maybe that’ll change soon.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    It’s a Winner’s Warehouse but Des is still mad at everyone

    It’s another Winner’s Warehouse at Sportzball HQ and yet for some reason Des is angry at everyone. Which is strange because because they both had a warm and balanced breakfast for the first time before recording. Well for Drew. Anyway the crew talks ages and how often is too often to forget how old you are. Drew would like to forget this Dolphins season even though they’re on a little three game winning streak. Being forced to sit down and watch Saints/Dolphins felt like torture. At least he can watch De’Von Achane.    The Broncos game on the other hand was pure cinema even if it gave everyone a heart attack. Des is tired of no one believing in the Broncos and Bo Nix. What more do you want from this team? They keep winning and are right at the top of the AFC put some respect on their name. And Des’ name too while you’re at or she’ll come for you too. She’s already coming for all of Eagles fans, Aaron Rodgers, and Kevin Stefanski.    Plus should Jaxson Dart be more careful or keep being a baller, are the Colts going to miss the playoffs, and you can see a football game for $8 if you’re a Browns fan??   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    What do the Sportzballers do on a bye week??

    Well would you look at that Sportzballers! The football Gods graced Des and Drew with matching bye weeks for the inaugural season of Sportzball so Des and Drew had a productive Sunday of cleaning, grocery shopping, meal prepping and working out right? No they rotted on the couch and watched RedZone; and it was glorious.    We do break down a few little pieces of news coming out of Broncos Country and Dolphins Nation. Wil Lutz signed a three year extension, and a few other extensions that may be up and coming. We also look quickly at the Broncos primetime matchup coming up against the Commanders and what they’ll look like with Jayden Daniels most likely out yet again. In Dolphins world, not much was happening BUT Devon Achane appears to actually be pretty good and they have a very favorable matchup against the Saints so could they be SNIFFING AROUND? Here’s hoping.  Ke$hup time! We had so much time to watch all the other games this weekend! Des is apparently the best game picker ever and could have been the only person to correctly pick the Texans to beat the Bills. Also, are the Bills done? Is their window closing? Does that mean the same thing? Also it’s incredibly hard to root for the Chiefs. Des and Drew tried, and they couldn't do it. But they can root for Jameis Winston and boy oh boy is that fun to do. Plus the crew’s thoughts on Shueder Sander’s first NFL start, Eagles/Cowboys, and who the hell is Max Brosmer?   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    THE BRONCOS ARE 9-2

    Guys. Ok. Are we a podcast about all things NFL? Is one of us a Dolphins fan? Yes. But this week, Des and Drew go to Denver to watch one of the biggest games the Broncos have played in a decade. So, that being said, this is going to be a pretty Broncos heavy episode. #sorrynotsorry.    Des and Drew go over their time in Denver, how well they travel together, and how much Des loves to throw a grenade into the crowd and watch Drew deal with the consequences. You know that meme of a girl smiling in front of a burning house? Yeah that's Des. They go over all the fun they got into before the game even started including seeing all the player’s arrival. Des got mere feet away from her love, Nik Bonitto and they got to chant the Ausie Ausie Ausie chant at Jeremy Crawshaw. Also Des wanted to fight a child… again.    At the game, it was the loudest Mile High has been in years and Des and Drew were there to help. The crew goes over the Broncos killer win against the Chiefs. Bo Nix silences the haters, Mahomes cries his way home after his beloved refs didn’t bail him out, every other amazing thing that happened in the 303.   Around the league, we have another spit-gate. Aaron Rodgers has another injury, and we finally get to see Shudeur Sanders in action. Also they still can’t bet, but that doesn’t mean they won’t stop trying.    Don’t forget to comment and review!!

    Dolphins win their Super Bowl and the Broncos win again and again and again

    Drew’s all alone in LA but that’s fine cause it’s a Winner’s Warehouse week at Sportzball. Des joins us from her parents house in Colorado and the famous Ed Garneau makes several guest appearances. The Broncos eek out an ugly win against the Raisers but it doesn’t matter cause the Broncos keep winning. They’re tied for the best record in football and they're first in the west, nothing else matters. But it would be nice to get some offense going for a change. Also is Sean Payton a fashionista?   Speaking of winning and offense, the Dolphins pull off a historic upset against the Bills in Miami. De’Von Achane is a beast, the locker room is vibing, and McDaniel is trolling Bills fans again OR it’s A.I. we’ll just never know.    League Ke$hup brings us Daniel Jones’s bleeding mouth, Mike Vrabel isn’t afraid of anything, Brain Daboll is finally out in New York, and if a fan wants to fight a player should security just let them learn their lesson.    Can Des and Drew find luck this season with their parlays? Probably not. Will Drew catch Des in the primetime game picks? Probably not.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    We brought on a Ravens fan so we can all make fun of Drew together

    Well the last time there was a guest Drew and Des were able to make fun of him and their first loss of the season to the mighty Denver Broncos. This time around… Our guest and Des just make fun of Drew, and he can’t really blame them. Evan, Des and Drew go over the Dolphins loss to the Ravens, the opposite trajectory both teams are on, Chris Grier’s firing, does Drew know he can escape the Dolphins fandom whenever he wants, and the real reason all the games were taken away from the Raven’s locker room.   Then Des goes over the Bronco’s 6th straight win, and like always it was super super easy and painless. The team goes over CJ Stroud’s injury, a top defensive showdown, and Drew keeps not listening to Des.   In The League Ke$hup, Des is telling everyone to step up your smack talking game, Mike Tomlin’s many great sayings, the Bills keep being the Chief’s daddy (in the regular season) and how many hip pumps is too many? Also; Drew looks to make up ground on Des who leads their game picks. Let us know what the loser has to do.   As always we’re loving all the support and reviews and comments!

    Des hates the Broncos win and the Dolphins are going 11-6

    It’s spooky time at the ol Sportzball HQ. Des and Drew dress up for the festivities and Drew learns a new fact about his best friend (she apparently is indifferent about Halloween) who knew? Not Drew.   Des has the hottest of takes in the world for her Broncos win, she feels “Meh” about it. Apparently an entire season of heart stopping, anxiety inducing wins and losses have desensitized her to a comfortable beatdown of the Cowboys. But wait, her hot takes don’t stop there. She also says Bo Nix should absolutely be in the conversation for MVP and Drew… has other thoughts.   Speaking of Drew’s thoughts, he is absolutely back on the Dolphin’s, Tua, and McDaniel trains. All it takes is Tua having one eye and a locker room Haka celebration and he is right back in. He’s trying to hold his enthusiasm but wants his team to now go undefeated and finish 11-6. Delusional? Or Defiant?   League Ke$hup brings us Scattebo’s gruesome ankle injury, the Packer’s atrocious jerseys, and Des and Drew are both clamoring for Shedeur Sanders to finally start for the Browns. PLUS, they introduce their first betting segment, and prime time matchup picks.    We’re loving all the comments and reviews and feedback! Keep them coming!

    Broncos pull off a HISTORIC win against the Giants and the Dolph-

    Honestly, there’s no way Des and Drew can do that Bronco game justice. But it doesn’t mean they aren’t going to try. After a few riveting Drew stories that Des wants to turn into a book, the crew immediately dives into Denver’s historic victory against the Broncos. What it means for the team, Broncos Nation, DT’s family, and so much more. Des breaks down all the tea that happened before the game with Giant’s players, and all the drama with Dre Greenlaw and the officials after.   The Dolphins talk, well what is there to talk about. Tua has 6 interceptions in 2 games and McDaniel is just hoping his QB doesn’t throw 10 in his next game. Drew is defeated and honestly there’s not much more to say.   Around the league Des and Drew attempt to break down every game that happened this weekend and that plan quickly falls apart, but they certainly try. Drew calls out Chiefs fans again and Des keeps threatening assasination (allegedly).   Thanks for all the reviews! Keep em coming! This week one review inspired a new outro for the show so who knows what your review will lead to!   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    Broncos beat the Jets…sorta?? And Mike McDaniel hasn’t been fired. YET.

    Seems it never rains in Southern California! It’s a soggy Tuesday morning at the Sportzball studios, but it’s also a soggy morning for Drew and any Dolphins fans. Drew is not happy with what he’s seeing on the field and also off the field. He doesn’t love Tua’s press conferences and neither does Mike McDaniel. Everyone seems to be pointing fingers at each other and Drew is just ready for McDaniel to be fired. Drew also lists his ideal candidates to take over as head coach and they’re all completely reasonable.    Oddly enough over in Bronco Country Des also isn't feeling super great even though her Broncos are 4-2 and scratching at the lead of the AFC West. The offensive side of the ball left a lot to be desired sure, but Des breaks down the historic pace the defense is on. Also Drew won't stop winking at Des and she absolutely hates it.    Around the league; Des and Drew share who they think are the top teams in the NFL. They break down the Chiefs win and post game fight, the crazy Dart/Skattebo bromance, Baker Mayfield and Drew still never listens to Des.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    An Eagles fan joins us so we can rub the first loss in his Philly face

    Well everyone we’re just past the quarter mark of the NFL season and Des is flying high, Drew is drowning in despair, and Perry is, wait who is Perry? We bring our friend Perry on, who is a Philly super fan to rub Denver’s win in his face, get his thoughts on the game and what Eagle’s Nation is feeling, but mainly just to rub it in his face.    Drew is really getting tired of talking about the Dolphins anymore, and why would he, they gave up a 17 point lead to Bryce Young and the Panthers. Mike McDaniel is looking and sounding defeated, but at least the electric Eric Collins called this game like the Super Bowl.   Around the league, we have to talk about the wild Mark Sanchez story. The mighty Bills get toppled by the Patriots. The Cardinals dropped (literally) their game to the Titans handing Cam Ward his first win of his career. And the Chiefs get taken down by Trevor Lawrence and the 4-1 Jags.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    Winner’s Warehouse? Winner’s West Virginia? Who cares, both our teams won, shut up!

    Both our teams won and boy does it feel good! Well kind of, for some of us. The Broncos had a defiant win over the Bengals minus Joe Burrow. Tee Higgins and Jamar Chase who? Denver’s defense and offense finally put together a full game and look on fire as they head to take on the defending Super Bowl champs on Sunday. How does Des feel about it? Don’t ask her, just let her enjoy this win.   In Miami the Dolphins were looking FRESH in their rivalry jerseys and looked so fresh they got their first win of the season and nothing else bad happened right? Nope, Tyreek is definitely done for the year and possibly for good and apparently Drew is a wizard and accidentally spoke it into existence. It was a gruesome injury and who knows what this means for the Dolphin’s season.    Around the league; Drew definitely doesn’t have a gambling problem, Des and Drew both got fooled by the internet and thought Jaxson Dart was sending shots to Justin Herbert, and we got the highest tied Scorigmi ever?! What a week 4.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    There's a third person sitting in today! Can they help either of us win a game?

    Well well well, three’s a company at the ol’ Sportzball HQ this episode. Our good friend Aaron Johnson from Broncos Fancast joins the show to talk about his Broncos fandom and our experience attending the Broncos game in LA. Aaron is feeling a lot more confident about the Broncos season than Des is and he tries to bring Des back to the bright side. They talk the brutal last second field goal loss, Chargers fans, and why is it so hard to get out of SoFi Stadium?   As far as the Dolphins go, Drew holds a funeral for Tua as he has officially said he’s done with him as his franchise QB. He compares Tua's current career to that of former Dolphins disappointment Ryan Tannehill, and it’s not looking good.    Across the league it seems everyone blocked a field goal or got blown out by 30. Des officially announces her second favorite team, and how fun it is to watch good teams play football. Also Drew and Des predict the outcome of the Dolphins and Broncos upcoming Monday Night double header.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    The Losers Club welcomes the Broncos and everyone is getting fired on the Dolphins

    Guys, the NFL season is two weeks in and we don't have time to talk about our weeks or anything fun WE HAVE FOOTBALL TO TALK ABOUT SO BUCKLE UP. The Dolphins let their first potential victory slip away from them as Devon Achane stepped out of bounds and Tua over threw and under threw Tyreek Hill all over the place. Planes are flying over the stadium calling for the firing of Mike McDaniel and Chris Grier. But good news is they play the Bills next week so, things are looking up.   The Broncos lost an absolute heartbreaker to the Colts on Sunday and everyone is pointing fingers. Is it Bo Nix? Darren Rizzi, Dondrea Tillman, the offense? The Defense? Des isn’t here for the finger pointing, except for maybe a little at Sean Payton cause it’s easy to point fingers at that guy. We talk about what went right but more importantly what went wrong in the Broncos’ first loss.   Around the league Daniel Jones and Russell Wilson are the top two QBs in terms of yards, all the other QBs are getting hurt, Drew drops a wild Taylor Swift, and Whole Foods is THE place to be on game day.    Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    The NFL season is underway and only half of the Sportzball team is excited about it. Can you guess which half?

    Well well well, the season has finally begun and boy oh boy, are some of the Sportzballers happy. The Denver Broncos may have not had a pretty win but they have a dub in the win column and it can only get better from here. Denver’s defense led by Des’ Wonder Boy Nik Bonitto wrecked Cam Ward and the Tennessee Titans. Bo Nix looked a bit rusty but there’s no need to panic.   Speaking of panic - South Florida should be declaring a national emergency after that performance. Tua Tagovailoa looked disastrous. The defense looked abysmal. Mike McDaniel looked lost and Tyreek Hill looked pissed (what’s new). What is there to say about that game other than Drew hopes the Colts go undefeated the rest of the season so that loss doesn’t look as bad.   Throughout the rest of the league; Buffalo and Baltimore was pure cinema, Javonte Williams shines (sort of) in Dallas, and you can’t spit on people. Also if the Sportzball crew isn’t enough, we have an adorable fluffy guest this week.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

  32. 9

    The football season is FINALLY here, we chat Dolphins and Broncos wins and losses, and Drew can’t stop yawning when Des talks

    You’d think that the last episode before the start of the regular season would have Drew and Des absolutely fired up right? Nope they’re absolutely exhausted and it’s a marathon just to get through this podcast. Will it be great or will it be a dumpster fire? We get their schedule Win/Loss predictions and overall record predictions for the Dolphins and Broncos. Des and Drew are able to break down what little news they can from the NFL including the Micah Parsons trade and the NFL top 100 unveiling their final top 10.   Also our friend the leaf blower shows back up cause we know you loved it so much, Drew thinks an earthquake happens in the middle of recording and is bored by everything Des says.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    Preseason is over, roster cuts are happening, and Javonte Williams won't stop making Des cry

    We’re finally on our way to the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Drew and Des talk about how they plan to enjoy their last weekend free of football before they drop into the hole of the NFL season. They also are kind of just over talking about preseason. Des isn’t happy with the Broncos play even though they went 3-0. Bo Nix looks rusty. The offensive line looks shaky, and the running backs aren’t really running away with anything. Down in Miami Drew is feeling equally “meh” about the Dolphins, specifically with the Tua and the backup QBs. He is pumped about Ollie Gordon II running away with a roster spot and some promising young receivers.    Around the league; Des hates that she can’t stop talking about the Cowboys and Jerry Jones. She might be more angry with him than Micah Parsons. Also, we try to figure out what the Browns are doing with Shedeur Sanders and all their QBs. Plus the Saints give out gold stars, Drew can’t spell, and Javonte isn’t done breaking Des’ heart.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    We went to Broncos Training Camp - but it doesn’t matter because we’re dying of heat stroke

    Drew and Des sacrifice their bodies to bring you another episode of Sportzball. Drew went to urgent care, Des wants Drew to take one for the team and die so she can sue NyQuil, and they both went to Broncos Training Camp. Is there proof? No, because Sean Payton doesn’t want any photos or videos of practice. Des thinks Jarrett Stidham should be QB 1 for the Broncos and it’s Cheaper by the Dozen at the Elliss household. The Dolphins helped the Lions get their confidence back in practice and apparently Tyreek Hill had no idea what the offense was because he never took notes.   Around the league: Jerry Jones loves to run his organization like a season of Love Island and Drew and Des can’t stop talking about the Cleveland Browns.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    The Broncos are playing real football games and Mike McDaniel gets feisty

    Guys! There’s football games to talk about! What the hell?? Des and Drew realize they aren’t packed for their trip to Denver for training camp, they get to go right into all the preseason madness. Des doesn’t know how to feel about the Broncos game against the 49ers, but she has players that are catching her eye. Drew can’t talk too much about the Dolphins because the game is happening as they record, but he has thoughts on the joint practice the Dolphins had with the Bears. Which includes Mike McDaniel making his case for joining Fight Club.   Around the league; does JJ McCarthy have aura? Which NFL Coach has the best poker face? Why is Sean Payton always mad? And CeeDee Lamb got absolutely annihilated by a ref. Also we finally reveal our Super Bowl predictions. Are we gonna be right? Probably not.    Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    The Dolphins are broken, the Broncos are getting paid, and Des would be the "Curious Cornerback".

    The Dolphins are dropping like flies, especially their secondary, so out of solidarity Drew decided to drop like a fly and get the plague. We find out what he’s been up to for a week of knocking on death’s door and he begins to sound like a broken record with his lack of excitement for the Dolphins upcoming season. Is Mike McDaniel too goofy? Was Tyreek Hill seriously late for a meeting? It’s not looking good.    The Broncos on the other hand are looking solid and the players are getting their bag. Courtland Sutton and Zach Allen hit big with their contract extensions, but the injury bug is hitting the Broncos’ Linebackers. We also find out what positions Drew and Des would be if they played in the NFL and Des has more issues with people rating things - this time it’s the Madden ratings.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else **seriously** who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    The Denver Broncos are going to be UNSTOPPABLE & the Miami Dolphins...have new jerseys

    Everything is looking up for Des and the Denver Broncos. We break down Bo Nix being ranked 64th best player in the NFL in his rookie season. All the new Broncos players are making an impact and we discuss what it takes to be the first man in at Broncos’ practice. The Miami Dolphins limp through their first week of training camp and Drew is not as optimistic as he was last week. But the new Nike Rivalry jerseys could be cool - so that’s something. Also, Drew wont stop making animal noises but it means we get to find out what a penguin sounds like.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    Drew is happy the Dolphins are irrelevant and Des is now a Commanders fan

    Drew and Des got their first hater! And it feels great. They break down what a week of fortune and fame has been like. They address the Garret Wilson, Sauce Gardner, and TJ Watt contract signings and why the hell contracts are so important. Des wants Von Miller to win a Super Bowl with the Commanders more than she wants the Broncos to win a Super Bowl at all and Drew has his first hot take of the season. Also Des gives us her top 5 sauces (sort of).   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball

    SPOILER ALERT !! Des found out the Broncos have a third QB and Drew is 6”5’

    It’s finally here. Drew and Des break down their friendship **THEY’RE JUST FRIENDS** They get into why they’re fans of the Denver Broncos and Miami Dolphins, and why they hell they’re even starting a podcast. Ke$ha shows up for some reason, Tyreek Hill is still thankfully on the Dolphins (for now), and Des continues to mourn Javonbae Williams. Also why does everyone hate Shedeur Sanders?? Accepting non-obvious answers only.   Keep up on all the NFL news you're not going to get anywhere else *seriously* who else talks about the NFL except us: Instagram: @sportzballpod TikTok: @sportzballpod YouTube: Sportzball
