Football America is a show about stories that matter—discussed by people who don’t. Why? Because this beautiful game deserves all of the spotlight. Football raised us. We obsess over it. We fight about it. We name our dogs after retired players, then name our children after those dogs. We talk football the way Sinatra sang songs: with conviction. And drunk. Each week, Dave Dameshek’s embarrassing habit of assigning meaning to frivolous stats is on full display as he is joined by a host of celebrities, players, and well-meaning people who play experts on television. Hilarity ensues. Debate follows. It’s a love letter to football written in spicy mustard. Football America! is synonymous (see what we did there?). This isn’t just a sport. It's our national identity… but it’s also a sport.

This Looks Like Mike Tomlin's Final Year And Geoff Schwartz Says Cam Heyward Going Overboard With Josh Allen is a Symptom of His Demise, Plus Jonathan Zaslow on Why Ole Miss Treated Lane Kiffin Correctly
It was out of bounds for Lane Kiffin to accept the LSU job and also think he could keep coaching Ole Miss. That's what Jonathan Zaslow thinks. He also says Alabama has a shot at nabbing a top four spot with a win in the SEC Championship. In the NFL, parity is ruining and making everything interesting. (Side note: every time you watch the Lions do you think to yourself, maybe it was Ben Johnson all along?) Then we get intel on the Chiefs collapse with former Chief lineman Geoff Schwartz. He also gets into the weeds with Mike Tomlin and team dynamics and why a veteran like Cam Heyward losing his mind on Josh Allen is bad omen. Dave Dameshek and Mike Fuentes and Soup have the tea you need to understand this point in the NFL season on this episode of Football America!
