    Time to toss out Tuchel

    Frank and Eddie react to both of the semifinals from the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Spain controlled the game against France, but how did England manage to blow it from a comfortable position against Argentina? Eddie is convinced that, although it won't happen, it is time for Thomas Tuchel to go.  Plus, our predictions for the World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina, Frank is making headway with 'From', and Eddie has some more complaints about parents on planes. 

  2. 394

    World Cup Semifinal Preview

    Frank managed to pick up an injury during his hockey tournament in LA, but Eddie had his own personal disaster during the Norway v England quarterfinal. They look back on all of the matches from the quarterfinal stages, including France's comfortable win over Morocco, a late winner for Spain against Belgium, and extra-time wins for England and Argentina. Are Norway right to feel slightly aggrieved by decisions that went against them in the England match? And were Switzerland denied a late penalty against Argentina? We then look ahead to the semifinals, including Mbappe's remarkable World Cup record, and a heated rivalry between Argentina and England that Eddie thinks is often misunderstood. Plus, Jannick Sinner wins Wimbledon again, and Eddie has a bone to pick with Stanley Tucci, Tom Holland, and Taylor Lewan. 

  3. 393

    World Cup Quarterfinal Preview

    The last 16 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup has wrapped up, as the tournament is once again shrouded in controversy. Argentina pulled off a late comeback against Egypt, but Frank and Eddie look into the theory that Messi and co are benefiting from some favorable refereeing decisions. Spain found a late winner against Portugal, but has Ronaldo truly ended his international career, and did his parting comments leave a sour taste in the mouth? Frank and Eddie look ahead to the quarterfinals, as France take on Morocco, England play Norway, Belgium play Spain, and Argentina face Switzerland.  Plus, Eddie has started watching 'For all Mankind' and he's not sure that it's actually good. 

  4. 392

    England in a Thriller

    England are through to the 2026 FIFA World Cup Quarterfinals after overcoming Mexico at the Azteca. Eddie and Frank look back at one of England's greatest ever World Cup performances, including standout efforts from Pickford, Gordon, and Bellingham. But where did things go wrong for Mexico, even after they may have benefited from some of the officiating?  Elsewhere, Argentina survive a scare against Cape Verde, Portugal somehow scraped by Croatia, Paraguay tried their best to rough up France, and Haaland and Norway proved too much for Brazil. But will this World Cup be overshadowed by controversy after FIFA and Infantino further embarrassed themselves by postponing Balogun's suspension ahead of the USA's match against Brazil?

  5. 391

    Belgium, Balogun, and Botched Penalties

    The Round of 32 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup is nearly complete, and there have been some thrilling finishes to matches. Eddie thinks that England weren't quite as bad as people are making out, and feels confident ahead of their clash against Mexico at the Azteca. There were controversial refereeing decisions galore, as Balogun was sent off for the USA, England were denied a penalty, and Germany and Spain had goals chalked off for mystery fouls on a goalkeeper. But the real question is, will anyone be able to stop France? Can Belgium build on the momentum of their late comeback against Senegal? And will we see a better version of Brazil against Norway? Plus, Frank is finally watching 'From', Eddie isn't impressed with 'Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness', and Serena Williams was up to her old tricks against Maya Joint at Wimbledon. 

  6. 390

    World Cup Knockout Stage Preview

    The 2026 FIFA World Cup group stages have come to a close, and Frank and Eddie look back at the top performers, the underachievers, and some of the most interesting stats. France and Argentina impressed the most, but what should the expectations be for England, Portugal, the USA, and Canada heading into the knockout stages? Plus, Eddie nearly found a loophole in the Air France booking system, Ben Stokes' main character syndrome rears its ugly head during his retirement from international cricket, Andros Townsend has some peculiar in-flight meals, and Frank shares his initial thoughts on Larry David's new TV show. 

  7. 389

    World Cup Round 2 Reaction

    Eddie is surviving the European heatwave, but does think that people are overreacting to England's 0-0 draw with Ghana. Frank was less impressed by the officiating than he was by England, and Eddie agrees that England had a lucky escape with one or two of the decisions. Ronaldo scored twice against Uzbekistan, and Eddie believes that Frank is giving CR7 a slightly hard time when it comes to his role within the Portugal team.  Plus, how much will this World Cup impact Erling Haaland's legacy? Serena Williams is back, but will she be a popular draw in the first round of Wimbledon? And is Zlatan Ibrahimovic playing a character as he stars alongside Thierry Henry on Fox Sports? 

  8. 388

    2026 World Cup Preview

    Our preview and prediction ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. How will the host nations of Canada, the USA, and Mexico fare? And will England, Portugal, Spain, and France live up to expectations? We could be on course for a last Ronaldo versus Messi match-up, but can Brazil and Argentina bring further success to South America? Plus, Omar Artan was denied entry to the United States, meaning that he won't be able to referee at this World Cup. And Eddie asks what Gianni Infantino was doing sucking up to Donald Trump if it can't even guarantee entry for key officials. 

  9. 387

    Roland Garros and World Cup Warmups

    Alexander Zverev won the 2026 French Open to claim his first Grand Slam title, but Eddie is disappointed that his controversies overshadowed the tournament. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is nearly upon us, although there are serious concerns over the quality of pitches and playing conditions in the United States. And Christian Eriksen's collapse during Denmark's recent friendly should bring a sad end to an excellent playing career.  Speaking of controversies, England Cricket once again finds itself in hot water after Ben Stokes and Gut Atkinson got into a scuffle in a club in Chelsea. Frank speaks about his recent hockey tournament in Nashville, and Eddie's Fiat Topolino continues to be a target for road rage. 

  10. 386

    PSG: Back-to-Back

    PSG put themselves into an elite group by winning back-to-back Champions Leagues, but the big takeaway for Eddie was how disappointing and defensive Arsenal were throughout the final. Myles Garrett and AJ Brown were both part of blockbuster trades in the NFL, and Frank and Eddie think that the Garrett trade might be a rare example of both sides making a good deal.  Plus, a Roland Garros full of upsets is going to provide some new Grand Slam champions. Still, Eddie is getting tired of Naomi Osaka making it about everything other than tennis, but he has even stronger thoughts on Jaxson Dart's handling of his Trump backlash. 

  11. 385

    Tuchel's England Squad Selection

    The 2026 FIFA World Cup is fast approaching, and Thomas Tuchel has finalized his England squad for the tournament. Frank and Eddie analyze some of his selections. Eddie explains that he understands that the inclusion of Henderson, Madueke, and Gordon shows that Tuchel wants a squad that fits his system, but will it work?  The Premier League season wrapped up with Arsenal as champions, Manchester City slipping up again, and Spurs narrowly avoiding relegation at the expense of West Ham. Roland Garros is underway in Paris, with some of the world's top players on both the ATP and WTA tours protesting prize money, but Eddie thinks they're being tone-deaf with some of their complaints.  Plus, Hull beat Middlesbrough in the Championship playoff final following the controversy of 'spygate'. The Enhanced Games failed to deliver many world records, and would you go out of your way to attend a championship parade? 

  12. 384

    Arsenal are champions, but not the best

    Manchester City slipped up again and handed Arsenal their first Premier League title in 22 years, but Eddie is still adamant that they are not the best team in England. The relegation battle goes down to the final day of the season, and will Spurs do enough to stay ahead of West Ham and maintain their Premier League status? And the 'Spygate' punishment is in, should Middlesbrough feel very lucky to find themselves back in the Championship playoffs at the expense of Southampton?  Pep Guardiola's time at Manchester City has come to an end, with Enzo Maresca set to take charge at the Etihad, and Frank and Eddie look ahead to the next couple of seasons to predict who might be challenging for silverware over the next 5 years. Plus, Bevel tells Eddie his biological age, and Frank prepares for his biggest pickleball competition of the season.   

  13. 383

    Does Fox Sports really know football?

    Eddie had a disappointing padel outing, but will Frank be able to cheer him up with the Fox Sports list of the 25 players that will define the 2026 FIFA World Cup? The EFL Championship playoffs have been thrown into disarray as Southampton find themselves in a very British Spygate scandal. Should Middlesbrough be reinstated? Will Hull win in a walkover? Or can Southampton survive the scandal? Plus, the NFL schedule has lined up some good holiday matchups, and more sports teams are following the example of Surrey County Cricket Club by encouraging remote work at their stadiums. 

  14. 382

    VARsenal

    Arsenal moved one step closer to their first Premier League title in 20 years, but Eddie explains why he didn't like West Ham's equaliser being disallowed, even though it was a foul on David Raya. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is fast approaching, but with hotel occupancy levels well below normal, will things go smoothly in the US, Canada, and Mexico?  Plus, the Diana Rossini and Mike Vrabel scandal continues to escalate, should you swap seats on an airplane, and Eddie's latest YouTube rabbit hole. 

  15. 381

    Arsenal Riding High

    Arsenal and PSG advanced to the Champions League final, although both Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich may feel they were on the wrong side of some controversial refereeing decisions. Manchester City's 3-3 draw with Everton has handed the advantage back to Arsenal in the Premier League title race, but Eddie thinks that there's a good chance that there will be more slip-ups in the final couple of weeks.  Frank decides to ragebait Eddie by bringing up Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt's addition to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And Eddie asks Frank about some complicated family dynamics and whether one should tip after receiving gambling winnings. Plus, early reactions to 'Widows Bay' and why Eddie is enjoying 'Rooster' more than he thought he would. 

  16. 380

    Live from the Championship

    Eddie managed to embarrass himself in Barcelona, but should Arsenal and Atletico Madrid feel as if they were exposed by the football played by Bayern Munich and PSG? Eddie rarely comes to the defense of Mikel Arteta, but he does feel as if VAR made a mistake by overturning a late penalty for Arsenal. In the Premier League, the fixtures have allowed Arsenal to rebuild their lead at the top, and that could prove crucial. And Hull managed to pip Wrexham to the final playoff spot on a thrilling last day of the Championship season.  Both Frank and Eddie agree that it is pointless to analyze NFL draft picks before a snap has been played, but the Arizona Cardinals did make a slightly head-scratching move. And 'The Rewatchables' podcast is great, but that doesn't make it perfect. 

  17. 379

    Eddie Goes to the Barber

    In this episode of the Big Chill Podcast, Eddie got his haircut, but he wasn't happy with the experience and wondered what Frank would have done in the same situation. Manchester City won their game in hand, and their 1-0 win over Burnley has put them top of the table, but should Arsenal be favorites due to their easier run-in? Liam Rosenior's time at Chelsea has ended, but just how bad were his 107 days at Stamford Bridge? And Leicester City's back-to-back relegations mean that the recent Premier League and FA Cup Champions are now facing life in League One. And how impressive have Wrexham been as they find themselves challenging for the playoffs in the Championship?  Plus, Eddie is worried that Paul Seixas might be about to change French luck in the Tour de France, and he really thinks that Frank should be watching 'From'.     

  18. 378

    Manchester City v Arsenal Reaction

    Manchester City came out on top in their crucial top-of-the-table clash against Arsenal in the Premier League. Frank and Eddie were impressed by Haaland and Cherki, but just how lucky was Gabriel to avoid being sent off? Elsewhere in Europe, PSG suffered a surprise defeat that puts a bit of pressure on the reigning champions in Ligue 1, and Bayern Munich continued their record-breaking season in the Bundesliga. On the back of success, Eddie thinks that Harry Kane could be a Champions League win away from entering some very exclusive company. In the NFL, the New York Giants traded away star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, but Frank is happy with the move. And which NFL player is the best comparison to Noah Wyle?    

  19. 377

    World Cup Price Gauging and Champions League Semfinals

    In this episode of The Big Chill Podcast, Frank and Eddie discuss the challenges of maintaining friendships and the logistics for The Breeders' Cup 2026. Bayern Munich, PSG, Arsenal, and Atletico Madrid are through to the Champions League semifinal, but Eddie thinks that UEFA needs to review the ability of French and Spanish teams to move games ahead of Champions League matches.  Plus, Whoop released Rory McIlroy's data from The Masters, and Frank is feeling a little uncomfortable at his gym.   

  20. 376

    Arsenal Dropping. Rory Rising.

    Frank has some strong opinions on how players are messing up their strategy on 'Tipping Point', but Eddie has a business opportunity with Dunkin' Donuts that might cheer him up. Arsenal's defeat to Bournemouth means that Manchester City are right back in the title race ahead of their match this Sunday, but Eddie is refusing to believe that Arteta and co. will completely blow their lead in the Premier League. Rory McIlroy entered elite company by winning back-to-back Masters, but where does he now stand in the modern-day golf Pantheon, and is the Masters becoming an overrated sporting event?  Plus some pop culture blind spots and what's actually going on in 'The Pitt'.

  21. 375

    Will Arsenal blow it all?

    Big changes are coming to the podcast, but did Arsenal's FA Cup defeat at the hands of Southampton change Eddie and Frank's opinions on their Premier League title chances? The FIFA 2026 World Cup is facing more controversy as seat maps are hidden and prices continue to surge.  And are there any new MLB stadium foods worth trying, and does 'The Pitt' need to start focusing on the night crew?

  22. 374

    They look good for their age

    Frank was ghosted by his roller hockey team, but Eddie is more worried about the escalating costs of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Duke blew a commanding lead against UConn in the NCAA Tournament, but should we give college players a pass when they make game-losing mistakes in March Madness? Frank found himself in a critical situation in a Starbucks bathroom, but Eddie thinks he should have bought an item before using their facilities. Plus reaction to the latest episodes of 'The Pitt', Eddie's thoughts on 'Project Hail Mary', and why Eddie has issues with the evolution of 'Shrinking'. 

  23. 373

    Arsenal, Jelly Roll, and Anaconda

    Manchester City beat Arsenal in the League Cup Final, but will Arsenal's defeat have any impact on how they approach the remainder of the Premier League season, the Champions League, or the FA Cup? Eddie thinks the Premier League is already a foregone conclusion, but Guardiola exposed some weaknesses that will prove to be their undoing in the Champions League and FA Cup. The official song for the 2026 FIFA World Cup was released, but does it stand up to classics from the likes of Ricky Martin and Shakira? The Fanatics Flag Football tournament took place over the weekend, but has it changed what Frank thinks Team USA should do heading into the 2026 Olympics?  And Eddie watched 'The Peaky Blinders' movie, 'Greenland 2', and 'Anaconda', but which did he enjoy the most? The answer might surprise you...

  24. 372

    Arsenal Limping Towards the Title

    Frank's trip to Colorado was severely delayed by snow, but neither he nor Eddie get why travelers take out their frustrations on airport staff. Manchester City slipped up again, and it looks like Arsenal will win their first Premier League title in 23 years, even if they're failing to entertain in the process. Meanwhile, Chelsea look to be in some trouble as a result of financial irregularities, and Morocco have won AFCON 2025 on appeal. Venezuela upset the USA in the final of the World Baseball Classic, but the USA players upset Eddie even more by wearing game-worn USA hockey jerseys to the final.  Plus, neither Eddie nor Frank quite gets the hype surrounding 'Marty Supreme' or 'One Battle After Another'.

  25. 371

    NFL Signings and Guy Ritchie 'Classics'

    Eddie has joined Frank in the world of teaching, but he isn't sure that his colleagues are big fans of him. A bad week in the Champions League for English sides looks like it's getting worse, but have the early stages of NFL free agency thrown up any major signings? And India win the 2026 T20 Cricket World Cup as England continue to struggle in the Six Nations. Plus, Eddie still loves 'The Pitt', but he is a bit frustrated with some of the writing. And Frank tries to convince Eddie that Guy Ritchie actually makes good movies. 

  26. 370

    Arsenal are ruining football

    Frank and Eddie's pickleball and padel journeys continue, but Eddie has been on the receiving end of some road rage. Tez Johnson's ex-fiancée revealed why their relationship came to an end, but college football players in Mississippi will be delighted to hear that NIL money will no longer be taxed. Eddie is suspicious that some other media networks are stealing ideas from the Big Chill Podcast after Fox Sports revealed an AI version of Colin Cowherd.  Manchester City's latest slip-up has handed advantage back to Arsenal, and Eddie isn't happy with how the potential Premier League Champions are playing, especially after they were handed an easy Champions League draw. 

  27. 369

    Cold War Controversy

    The USA completed the men's and women's Winter Olympic ice hockey gold medal double, but Eddie isn't certain that the 'miracle on ice' is all that it is cracked up to be. Bodo Glimt's remarkable Champions League run continues, but is the new format finally delivering some excitement?  And 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' wrapped up, but will a good first season be undone by the wait between seasons 1 and 2? And did Eddie deserve a bigger reward for giving someone back their credit card?

  28. 368

    Can Arsenal hold on?

    Arsenal slipped up again in the Champions League, but has their 2-2 draw with Wolves completely opened the door for Manchester City? The Champions League is back, and Bodo Glimt continued their improbable run of form, but the play on the pitch was overshadowed by accusations of racist abuse from Vinicius Junior in Real Madrid's match against Benfica.  Plus some more Winter Olympics updates, 'The Pitt', and things that used to be flashy, but are now obsolete. 

  29. 367

    Winter Olympics Drama

    The 2026 Winter Olympics are in full swing, but some of the sporting displays are being overshadowed by controversies and drama. After his brief update in the last episode, Frank takes a deeper look at Penisgate and the curling video review system. Eddie is watching more of the Olympics than he thought he would, but has the controversial opinion that they shouldn't be called 'Olympics'.  Plus, ESPN ranks the 60 most difficult sports, Trent Williams' wife is ok with him dating his girlfriend, and Eddie is a tiny bit disappointed with 'The Pitt' not focusing on the boring stuff. 

  30. 366

    A Super Bowl Sleeper

    The Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl XV in a snoozefest, but which teams from the AFC and NFC will feel like they missed their chance to lift the Lombardi Trophy? Frank thinks it will be a long time until the New England Patriots make it back to the AFC Championship game, and Eddie isn't sure that Kenneth Walker III was the right choice for Super Bowl MVP. Plus, Eddie is enjoying the Winter Olympics more than he thought he would, Manchester City sneak past Liverpool after a thrilling final 15 minutes, and 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' might be the best Game of Thrones TV depiction yet. 

  31. 365

    Super Bowl LX Preview

    Our preview and predictions for Super Bowl LX as the New England Patriots take on the Seattle Seahawks in Santa Clara. Including a full breakdown of the keys to the game, where the Super Bowl is likely to be won and lost, and some of the best player props. Both Frank and Eddie believe that the Seahawks will dominate, but can Sam Darnold handle the pressure, or will Drake Maye and the Patriots manage to find a way to win? Plus, Eddie isn't a fan of the Winter Olympics and thinks that there's too much international ice hockey, and reactions to the latest episodes of 'The Pitt' and 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms'. 

  32. 364

    Whoop'd Out

    Frank convinced Eddie to start using a Whoop, but he's already planning to switch to an Apple Watch and find a new padel partner. Novak Djokovic came up short in the Australian Open Final against Carlos Alcaraz, but did he do enough to prove that he can still compete with the 'Big Two'? Tom Brady has started posting on Instagram like a teenage girl, and Eddie finds it eerily reminiscent of some old pictures of Frank. And Eddie is frustrated by the college football transfer portal, senior leadership at Blackburn Rovers, the Epstein List, and the lack of concern over ties between the Memphis Grizzlies' owner and Russia. 

  33. 363

    Padel and Popes

    Eddie has started playing padel, and Frank is settling in nicely to the Minnesota hockey lifestyle. Novak Djokovic is reminding the tennis world that he's still a force to be reckoned with, but has he always been chasing a big two? And Bill Belichick didn't make it into the Pro Football Hall of Fame at the first time of asking, but were his controversies with the New England Patriots enough to deny him being a first ballot HOFer?  And has the Champions League become too convoluted for its own good? Eddie thinks not and believes that the new format may be optimized for gambling, but not for actual football fans. 

  34. 362

    Bad Weather, Worse Play-calling, and Terrible Officiating

    It's the Seattle Seahawks against the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, but both Frank and Eddie think that the LA Rams might have been the best team in the NFL this season. The Patriots and Broncos finished their game in a blizzard, but did Denver make a mistake by leaving points on the board? Plus, Alcaraz, Sabalenka, and Sinner are told to stop wearing their Whoops at the Australian Open. 

  35. 361

    NFL Conference Games and Pickleball Defeats

    Frank's pickleball career is off to a rough start, but what can he learn from Naomi Osaka and Jannik Sinner after the pair caused controversies at the Australian Open? NFL Teams are making quick appointments to fill head coaching positions, but Eddie isn't convinced that Robert Saleh or Mike McCarthy were the right hires. And we make our previews and predictions for the NFC and AFC Championship games. Can the Broncos find a way past the Patriots with a backup quarterback? And will the Seahawks be able to stop the Rams and the best offense in the NFL? Plus, Indiana wins the College Football National Championship, Eddie thinks athletes can relax about making money, and 'The Pitt' season 2 builds towards a climax.   

  36. 360

    There's no crying in football

    In this episode of the Big Chill Podcast, hosts Frank and Eddie dive deep into the NFL Divisional Round. Josh Allen may have let the Bills down, but Sean McDermott paid the price. Were the Bills right to make a change in the head coaching position? Eddie expected the 49ers to lose, but the blowout win for the Seahawks has him worried about what the rebuilding process in San Francisco might look like. Drake Maye and the Patriots came out on top in the battle of the bad quarterback performances against CJ Stroud and the Texans, but neither Eddie nor Frank believes in their Super Bowl Chances. And the LA Rams made it past the Chicago Bears, but is Caleb Williams that clutch?  Plus, Donald Trump wants to make the Army-Navy game extra special, Manchester City and Arsenal both slip up, Senegal beat Morocco in a bizarre Afcon final, and reaction to episode 2 of 'The Pitt'. 

  37. 359

    Divisional Round Preview

      In this episode of the Big Chill Podcast, Frank and Eddie dive into the excitement of the NFL divisional round, offering their insights and predictions for the upcoming games. They discuss the challenges faced by teams like the 49ers and the Seahawks, analyzing key player performances and potential game-changing strategies. The conversation also touches on the impact of weather conditions on playoff games, with a lively debate on the merits of snow games. As they explore the dynamics of the Patriots vs. Texans matchup, Frank and Eddie weigh in on the strengths and weaknesses of each team. The episode wraps up with a look at the latest sports news, including Bryson DeChambeau's bold contract demands and the intriguing concept of the one-point tennis open. Tune in for a blend of sports analysis, humor, and engaging banter that keeps you informed and entertained.

  38. 358

    Best. Wildcard. Weekend. Ever.

    Frank and Eddie look back on a Wildcard Weekend that delivered 4 close games and 2 blowouts. Caleb Williams and the Bears pulled off an improbable comeback against the Packers, but Eddie enjoyed some of the other games more. The Rams survived a scare against the Panthers, but can they be trusted moving forward? Were the Bills lucky to get by the Jags, and can the 49ers continue to win in the face of more injuries? Plus, comfortable wins for the Patriots and Texans mean that they move on to the next round, but is that the last we see of Aaron Rodgers. 

  39. 357

    NFL Playoff Predictions and 'The Pitt'

    The NFL Playoffs are getting underway, and we have our full previews and predictions for the Wildcard Round and beyond. Will the Rams have too much offensive power for the Panthers? Who will come out on top in the rematch between the Packers and the Bears? Eddie and Frank disagree on whether Josh Allen and the Bills will find a way past the Jaguars, but they both think the 49ers could pull off an upset against the Eagles. And will either of the Chargers or the Steelers spring a surprise on the Patriots or the Texans? Plus, reaction to episode 1 of season 2 of 'The Pitt' and plans for a new Bank Holiday in Scotland for the FIFA World Cup.

  40. 356

    Rentals and Records

    Frank isn't happy with the gas policy of car rental agencies, but Eddie has a life hack that he might want to try. The NFL regular season wrapped up with most things decided before Week 18, but a statement win for the Seattle Seahawks secured them the 1 seed in the NFC, and the Carolina Panthers snuck into the playoffs despite losing to Tampa Bay. Myles Garrett broke the regular-season sack record, but Eddie isn't sure that the Browns should have been allowed to celebrate on the field, and he's even more upset by the Bills helping Josh Allen to maintain his starting streak. Plus Arsenal moved further ahead in the Premier League after Manchester City dropped points against Chelsea. 

  41. 355

    Heated Rivalry in the NFL Playoff Picture

    A cold front has hit Europe, but Eddie is more worried about how Aaron Rodgers will hold up in testing conditions against the Baltimore Ravens. We look through all of the Week 18 NFL games with playoff permutations. Enzo Maresca is out at Stamford Bridge, and Eddie has strong thoughts on what is going on at Chelsea and how it is worrying for all English football.  Plus, why isn't the NHL doing more to latch onto the buzz surrounding 'Heated Rivalry'? 

  42. 354

    Playoffs and Pickleball

    Frank and Eddie are back from the Christmas break, but Eddie had his laptop stolen on a train, and Frank had an unsuccessful foray into the world of competitive pickleball. Plus, our reactions to all of the NFL games from Week 17, and a look ahead to the next round of the College Football Playoffs. 

  43. 353

    A Thursday Thriller, and Playoff Permutations

    The LA Rams and the Seattle Seahawks threw up a Thursday Night Football instant classic, but Eddie isn't happy with the officiating decision on one of the two-point conversions.  The College Football Playoffs get underway this weekend, but are there any hopes for some big upsets? Plus, our previews and predictions ahead of some crucial late-season NFL Games. The 49ers are hoping to stay in contention for the NFC West, the Bears and the Packers go head-to-head in a game with major implications for the NFC North, and the Ravens, Patriots, Steelers, Bills, Eagles, and Lions all have big games ahead.

  44. 352

    Mahomes, Rivers, and the Heisman

    Eddie managed to lock himself out, but his week hasn't gone as badly as it has for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. A loss to the Chargers and an MCL and LCL tear for Mahomes means that the Chiefs may be entering a rebuilding era, but does that mean retirement for Travis Kelce? A big comeback for the Bills and important wins for the Ravens and Steelers, but could anyone win the Super Bowl this year? Plus another unconvincing win for Arsenal as Manchester City ease past Crystal Palace. And Fernando Mendoza won the Heisman, but Diego Pavia may have been the biggest loser. 

  45. 351

    Battle of the Sexes and Playoff Pressure

    Eddie has a Fiat Topolino update as Nick Kyrgios and Aryna Sabalenka get set to face off in the 'Battle of the Sexes'. But the big news out of the tennis world is the potential return of Serena Williams. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is facing more challenges, as the US announces plans to screen social media history, and FIFA introduces 3-minute cool-down breaks. And University of Michigan football is mired in further controversy.  Plus, our previews and predictions for every game from Week 15 of the NFL Season. The Patriots face the Bills, the Rams play the Lions, and the Chiefs take on the Chargers in games with huge playoff implications. Big wins are expected for the 49ers, Seahawks, Bears, and Jaguars. 

  46. 350

    World Cup Draw and College Football Playoffs

    The World Cup draw has made life easy for most of the big nations, but Eddie was annoyed by the unnecessary fanfare and the Donald Trump focus. The College Football Playoffs are also set, but Frank thinks that Notre Dame were wrong to withdraw from Bowl Game consideration.  Plus, there's more trouble at Anfield as Salah opens up to the press. The Eagles lost again, but do they have any chance in the playoffs? And there were big wins for the Steelers, Packers, and Bills.

  47. 349

    Small Cars, Big Playoff Implications

    Eddie has a new car, but Frank wants to know more about what it's like to drive a Fiat Topolino. And as Lebron James' 10-point scoring streak finally comes to an end, has it been the safest bet in sports? Plus, previews and predictions for every game from Week 14 of the NFL Season. There are big playoff implications as the Ravens take on the Steelers, the Bills are desperate for a win, and the Jags host the Colts.

  48. 348

    Hockey Hookups and NFL Breakups

    Frank and Eddie talk about their Thanksgiving weekends, including Frank's first Minnesota snow. But Eddie has some good news for him as he lets him know about the hit new show 'Heated Rivalry' and its compelling hockey romance. Plus reaction to all of the weekend's NFL games, including a surprising loss for the Rams, another bad Shadeur Sanders performance, and a series of upsets in the Thanksgiving Day games. Frank and Eddie both also agree that Siriani is facing unnecessary criticism for his decision to go for 2. Plus, Frank doesn't quite understand 'The Chair Company' and Eddie loves 'Train Dreams'.

  49. 347
