Об эпизоде

Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman crack open the storybook on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.</p><br><p>0:00 Welcome to the show</p><p>5:11 Jaguars</p><p>13:20 Giants</p><p>25:30 Commanders</p><p>25:45 Stefon Diggs news</p><p>39:50 Eagles</p><p>51:27 Colts</p><p>57:16 Bills</p><p>1:02:45 Chiefs</p><p>1:05:43 Bengals/Cowboys</p><p>1:08:30 Broncos</p><p>1:10:30 Titans</p><br><p>Accompanied reading: Sando's QB tiers, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/interactive/nfl-quarterback-tiers-insider-rankings-2026/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/interactive/nfl-quarterback-tiers-insider-rankings-2026/</a></p><p>Join The Athletic Football Show Discord Server: http://discord.gg/theathleticfootballshow</p><br><p>Host: Robert Mays</p><p>Co-Hosts: Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman</p><p>Executive Producer: Michael Beller</p><p>Senior Producer: Katy Duffy</p><p>Social Producer: Scott Krinch</p><br><p>Follow Robert on Bluesky: @robertmays.bsky.social</p><p>Follow Derrik on Bluesky: @qbklass.bsky.social</p><p>Follow Dave on Bluesky: @davehelman.bsky.social</p><p>Follow Robert on X: @RobertMays</p><p>Follow Dave on X: @DaveHelman_</p><br><p>Theme song: Haunted</p><p>Written by Dylan Slocum, Trevor Dietrich, Ruben Duarte, Kyle McAulay, and Meredith VanWoert / Performed by Spanish Love Songs</p><p>Courtesy of Pure Noise / By arrangement with Bank Robber Music, LLC</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
