The crew is still down one as Bill battles European jet lag, but Pat is back from his golf trip and guest Mike Paston returns for another lively round. The guys kick things off by debating the best and worst divisions in the NFL before turning to college football, where the age-old SEC vs. Big Ten question gets a unanimous and lopsided answer.
From there it’s time for Nailed It, with this week’s questions primarily centered on one of the best college football weekends of the season so far. And don’t forget that listeners still have a weekly chance to participate and win their shot at the 2026 Las Vegas trip.
The hot takes fly next. Pat vents about golf courses that ban carts and relishes Green Bay’s stunning loss to the Bears. Mike has a humorous but fiery take on the need to stop referring to the Pac 2 as a “conference”, then pivots to a more serious critique of Mississippi and why he refuses to call them “Ole Miss.” Bierman weighs in on Mike Gundy’s firing and shares some love for several star quarterbacks turned broadcasters while listing his favorites.
In Stone Cold Locks, the guys look to rebound from a slow start to the season by sharing their three best bets across college and pro football. And to close things out, the group takes a nostalgic trip ranking their top five favorite brand mascots of all time, including classic icons such as Ronald McDonald, Tony the Tiger, Mr. Peanut, and plenty more.
Even without the Sandman, this episode is packed with laughs and strong opinions so tune in for another week of football, fun, and plenty of debate.

In today’s episode, Eric finds himself without both regular co-hosts, as Pat and Bill were unavailable. Luckily, Sandman Nation has a deep bench, and past guest hosts Mike Paston and Brandon Lewis stepped in.
The crew kicks things off with a fun discussion: which cartoon character would they be if they had to live as one for a week? From there, the conversation shifts to Micah Parsons, his impact in Green Bay, and whether he is the best defensive player in the league right now. The consensus leans yes, though a few other names get a fair look in the conversation.
Next up is Nailed It, with this week’s predictions spanning hockey, baseball, soccer, and football, plus more details around the ongoing weekly listener competition with an all-expenses-paid trip to Vegas on the line for the winner and a guest.
Hot takes follow, including a fiery rant about how bad the Dolphins have been, the beautiful chaos of the first few weeks of college football, and some well-deserved love for the Indianapolis Colts and their new quarterback Danny Dimes.
Then it is time for Stone Cold Locks, where everyone delivers three of their best bets for the weekend. Picks include Bengals vs. Vikings, West Virginia vs. Kansas, and Mike Paston even unveils his Lock of the Year.
The show closes with this week’s Top 5: the best movie and sports sidekicks of all time. Those guys that weren't the main star, but they provided the friendship or support that was needed for the star to shine. From Kevin McHale to Goose to Cameron Frye, the debate is lively and loaded with nostalgia.
Even with just one-third of the regular trio, this episode is jam-packed with sports insights, bold opinions, and plenty of laughs.

In today’s episode, the Sandman is back after a one-week break and Eric and Pat welcome him with open arms. The guys kick things off debating the most overrated musicians and bands of all time. They all agree on Bruce Springsteen, but from there the takes get controversial and the debates heat up.
Then comes the long-awaited return of the Nailed It segment, and with it a huge announcement: this year’s listener winner, along with a guest, will be joining the crew on a trip to Las Vegas for Masters Weekend 2026. Stakes are high, and it’s easy to register and play along. This week’s guesses include Carson Beck’s passing yards, total punts in the Chiefs–Eagles game, and a few more you’ll want to take a crack at so be sure to listen for more details on how to join.
The crew also fires off some hot takes, from the wild Buffalo–Baltimore finish to a rant about big-boy programs scheduling FCS teams, and plenty of shade for the woman in Miami who stole a foul ball from a kid.
After that it’s Stone Cold Lock time, with a mix of college and pro best bets, before wrapping with a nostalgic Top 5 ranking of the best unit and team nicknames in sports history, including the Purple People Eaters, the Steel Curtain, Run TMC, and more.

The crew is a little light this week with the Sandman bowing out last minute due to an emergency, but no worries because the incredibly talented Brandon Lewis, a big friend of the show and one half of the amazing St. Louis Syndicate, steps in and delivers.
With Week 1 of college football in the rearview mirror, the guys have plenty to be happy about but they still have to kick things off not with celebrations but with some rants and things that irritated them in week 1. They cover pundit overreactions, unfair criticism of stars after one bad game, and one host’s least favorite broadcast duo in the business, Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt.
From there it is time for Hot Takes, a much more positive segment, with plenty of love handed out. The guys highlight standout quarterbacks like Garrett Nussmeier and Carson Beck, surprising wins from Miami and Florida State, and an Ohio State team that looks every bit like a defending national champion. They also discuss whether Kalen DeBoer is already on the hot seat, show love to Lee Corso in his final GameDay appearance, and agree on who now stands as the face and voice of college football (spoiler alert: their choice won’t surprise you).
Next comes Stone Cold Locks, where everyone drops three of their best bets for the coming weekend, mixing in some NFL action this week for good measure.
Finally, they wrap up with a fun and nostalgic Top 5 countdown of their favorite childhood toys. The list includes classics like Etch A Sketch, Yes and No Invisible Ink games, and the legendary Super Soaker.
Even without the Sandman himself, the boys soldier on and deliver another classic episode filled with insights, breakdowns, betting tips, and plenty of laughs. So hit that play button and let’s get rolling.

This week’s question is all about college football, and the boys actually surprise themselves with how well they do.
Then it is time for Hot Takes, where the topics fire fast: irritation with mid-game and sideline coach interviews, Tommy Fleetwood finally breaking through with a big win, Week Zero kicking off with both great action and a brutal bad beat, and even some chatter about the wild dorm setups students are living in today.

From there it is Stone Cold Locks, where the guys wrap up their CFB conference previews with the SEC before pivoting to the NFL. They break down each AFC division, give their picks to win, and throw in two AFC-related prop bets apiece. These are worth a listen since their football picks hit big last year.
Finally, they close with a sports-themed Top 5: the most overrated players, teams, and coaches of all time.
