Sports provocateur Dave Dameshek and NFL All Pro linebacker Ryan Shazier tackle the wildest and most talked about NFL and college football narratives flying across our timelines each week. But just because fans are talking about it on the internet doesn’t mean it’s true! Dave will run each and every over hyped, bandwagon fan and media hot take past Ryan for his unvarnished “gut check” on each one. Ryan will either throw the flag and call BS on it, or let it run free and unchecked to the end zone. No take gets a free pass on Wondery’s latest football podcast.
