In this episode of the Carolina Confidential podcast, host Gerrell Wheeler breaks down the thrilling victory of the Panthers over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, highlighting key moments that led to their 23-20 win. From Ryan Fitzgerald's clutch field goal to Latham Ransom's game-saving interception, Gerrell shares his excitement and insights on the team's performance. With the Panthers sitting at 8-7, he discusses their playoff hopes and the importance of consistency moving forward. Tune in for an engaging recap and a look ahead to the upcoming game against the Seattle Seahawks!

In this episode of Breaking Sports, Yarbs and Will dig deep into a loaded week across college football and the NFL, starting with Diego Pavia taking home the Breaking Sports Award of the Week and what his Heisman win represents beyond the trophy. The guys break down how Pavia’s season reshapes the national conversation, what it says about evolving quarterback play in college football, and how his success factors into the bigger picture as the College Football Playoff approaches. From seeding debates to potential matchups and dark-horse contenders, they unpack what matters most heading into the postseason.

On the NFL side, Yarbs and Will shift gears to analyze the changing dynamics around the league, including the latest on the Bills, Jaguars, and how injuries continue to alter playoff races and team identities. They discuss which teams are built to survive adversity, which ones are showing cracks at the worst possible time, and where momentum is truly pointing as the season tightens up. With sharp takes, forward-looking predictions, and plenty of back-and-forth, this episode delivers a full-spectrum sports conversation that keeps you informed, entertained, and ready for what’s next.

On this edition of Throw Up Tackle, the crew opens with “My Confessions” energy and goes straight at the Sherrone Moore situation—why side pieces don’t just “go away,” how cheating turns into career nukes, and why the stakes hit different when you’re one of the few Black head coaches in major college football. The convo gets real about emotional discipline, marriage as the foundation, and the bigger responsibility that comes with being a face in spaces where “we” still don’t get many shots.

Then it’s rapid-fire chaos the way Throw Up Tackle does it: College Football Playoff politics (Notre Dame vs. the ACC/committee drama), Miami vs. Texas A&M nerves, and the weekly picks run—complete with Panthers/Bucs tension, Chiefs shutdown talk after Mahomes’ ACL, and arguments about who really deserves Coach of the Year. Messy takes, betting energy, and plenty of “what are we doing out here?”—all in one episode.

Carolina Confidential is back, and Gerrell Wheeler is still heated after the Panthers’ gut-punch 20–17 loss to the Saints on Sunday—complete with a season sweep by a New Orleans team playing spoiler. Gerrell breaks down how Carolina let a must-win slip away (penalties everywhere, the late hit that everyone’s talking about, and missed chances long before that final drive), plus the frustrating reality of a true .500 team that looks playoff-ready one week and completely lost the next. Now the math is simple: the Panthers have made life harder, but the path is still there—beat the Buccaneers twice, handle business, and punch a ticket to the postseason for the first time since 2017.

Speed This Week is back on ForecastSports.com with your crew chief and driver Trey Rice—and this episode goes full throttle from a hilarious “mic too loud” start into the biggest NASCAR story of the offseason: the NASCAR vs. 23XI/Front Row Motorsports charter lawsuit settlement. Trey breaks down what the judge’s “y’all need to settle this” moment really meant, why permanent (evergreen) charters change the sport, how revenue-sharing and new voting power shift leverage toward teams, and why this could lead to more stable organizations, bigger investments, and better racing on the track. Plus, the guys hit the ongoing debate about NASCAR’s playoff format vs. old-school points, and detour into the chaos of a wild NFL season—including the Panthers’ messy division race and what it means when nobody seems to want the Super Bowl.

Conference championship weekend is in the books and The 2 Minute Drill with Jacari and Jamari is locked in on what comes next. The guys break down key matchups from the weekend, including Tulane vs. North Texas, Alabama vs. Georgia, Duke vs. Virginia, and Ohio State vs. Indiana, digging into momentum swings, questionable officiating, coaching decisions, and standout performances that shaped the road to the College Football Playoff.

In the second half, Jacari and Jamari react to the College Football Playoff bracket, debate seeding and snubs, unpack the ongoing Notre Dame drama, and give early predictions for the national title race. They also preview Army–Navy, discuss whether bowl games still matter, and make first-round playoff picks—highlighting potential upsets, Group of Five hopes, and which contenders are peaking at the right time.

College football may already be broken, but this week Yarbs and Will dig into the moment Duke, Notre Dame, and the ACC combined Voltron-style to shatter whatever was left of the system. From Notre Dame’s next-level pettiness—canceling book signings, refusing bowl invites, blaming everyone but themselves—to the committee’s nonsensical rankings, the guys break down why the sport feels more chaotic than ever and why even the BCS suddenly looks… competent?

The conversation widens into what the future of bowl games should be, how smaller programs like Tulane and JMU fit into the new 12-team playoff, and whether college football can ever return to what fans once loved. Then it’s on to Scoragami, bizarre NFL stats (including Jalen Hurts turning the ball over twice on one play), the Chiefs’ sudden collapse, and the Titans’ historic ineptitude. They wrap with “Get Off My Lawn” holiday rants (ugly sweaters, inflatables, talking mirrors, and spray-on snow), plus three-on-three of the worst Christmas decor known to mankind.

It’s smart, chaotic, petty, statistical, festive—and absolutely Breaking Sports.

On this episode of Throw Up Tackle, THE! Mario Washington, The DOK, and LJ go all the way in on the chaos of the College Football Playoff. The crew lights up Notre Dame for opting out of its bowl, questions how an independent program with no real signature wins thought it had a case, and breaks down why Miami belonged in the field before the Irish ever did. From ACC tiebreaker madness and a five-loss Duke in the title game, to SEC bias, TV-driven narratives, and conferences that no longer make geographic sense, they debate what a real national championship system should look like—expanded playoffs, capped conference sizes, real commissioners, and revenue sharing that actually fixes the sport.

Then they pivot to the NFL and it gets even wilder. The guys react to the Indianapolis Colts dragging Philip Rivers out of retirement and wonder how a Hall of Fame clock gets reset for a QB who hasn’t played in five years. They hit on Sheduer Sanders’ development and future, why the Chiefs look cooked, how violent and legit the Texans defense is under DeMeco Ryans, and what’s gone wrong with Jalen Hurts and the Eagles. As always, they close with their weekly picks, more jokes at Cowboys fans’ expense, and a healthy dose of controlled chaos—classic Throw Up Tackle.

On this episode of Carolina Confidential on the Forecast Sports Network, host Gerrell Wheeler breaks down where the Carolina Panthers stand coming out of the bye week and why the playoff race is suddenly very real in Charlotte. Sitting at 7–6 and ninth in the NFC, the Panthers are tied with Tampa Bay and still have both matchups with the Bucs ahead of them—meaning they fully control their own destiny in the NFC South. Gerrell walks listeners through the current NFC playoff picture, explains why Tampa holds the tiebreaker right now, and breaks down the common-opponent math that has the Bucs narrowly ahead in the standings.

From there, Gerrell turns up the urgency for this closing stretch. He explains why losing to the Saints a second time would be inexcusable, why practice habits have to change, and why Bryce Young simply cannot afford another lackluster performance with the playoffs “staring us right in the face.” With four games left—three of them in the division—Gerrell lays out what has to happen for Carolina to snap its playoff drought, what success would really look like the rest of the way, and why Sunday is going to be stressful for every Panthers fan riding this roller coaster to the finish.

Speed This Week with Crew Chief Will & Trey Rice breaks down a packed week across NASCAR and the wider sports world, blending industry insight with unfiltered opinion. Will and Trey dive into the ongoing NASCAR lawsuit and charter controversy, discussing why most of the leaked testimony matters less than the final outcome — and what it all means for teams, owners, revenue sharing, and the future health of the sport. From Michael Jordan and Joe Gibbs to the financial realities squeezing smaller teams, the conversation pulls back the curtain on how money, power, and opportunity truly shape NASCAR.

The episode also covers major offseason moves and storylines, including Nick Sanchez’s surprising split from Big Machine Racing, Rick Ware Racing’s switch to Chevrolet, and how manufacturer alliances could tip the competitive balance. Along the way, the guys touch on weather’s impact on racetracks, share a few offbeat “interesting facts,” and wrap things up with NFL playoff chatter, NFC South chaos, and college football playoff controversy. Insightful, blunt, and authentically fan-driven — this is Speed This Week at full throttle.

Jacari and Jamari are back on The 2 Minute Drill with the regular season in the rearview and Championship Week on deck. They open the show recapping a wild slate: Georgia grinding out a defensive win over Georgia Tech behind a dominant run game, Oklahoma barely hanging on against struggling LSU to keep its playoff hopes alive, Alabama surviving the Iron Bowl with a gutsy fourth-down call, and Cal shocking SMU to blow up the AAC title race and open the door for Duke.

Then they zoom out and dig into the chaos around the College Football Playoff picture and the coaching carousel. The guys debate Notre Dame’s résumé, BYU’s case, whether Vanderbilt is being disrespected, and what happens if two Group of Five teams crash the party—plus what it would mean for the ACC if Virginia or Miami can’t get in. They also touch on big coaching moves across the SEC and beyond before closing the show with their conference championship predictions, including JMU–Troy, Tulane–North Texas, BYU–Texas Tech, Georgia–Alabama, Duke–Virginia, and the heavyweight showdown between Ohio State and Indiana, with a little Heisman talk sprinkled in.

This week on Breaking Sports, Yarbs and Will reunite for the first time “in about three presidents,” kicking things off with holiday recovery, John Fox nostalgia, and one of the most absurd Notre Dame stat lines of all time. Then the guys dive headfirst into conference championship weekend—Duke vs. Virginia in the ACC, Georgia–Bama in the SEC, Ohio State–Indiana for the Big Ten title, and why BYU–Texas Tech just feels right. Along the way, they mix in everything from the Lane Kiffin soap opera to Kirby Smart’s dynasty, score-gami madness, the legend of the Dayton Triangles, and whether Denver and New England might be the most suspicious 10-win teams in NFL history.

In classic Yarbs & Will fashion, the show also wanders into the disappearing art of local radio, AI taking over game recaps, the chaos in Minnesota’s quarterback room, and even a debate on the greatest game shows ever made. They close the episode with “Get Off My Lawn,” three-on-three game show picks, and a long look at the baffling, entertaining roller coaster that is the Carolina Panthers—asking the question everyone’s asking: What exactly is this team?

This week on Speed This Week, the Crew Chief and Trey break down the opening days of the antitrust trial pitting 23XI and Front Row Motorsports against NASCAR. From Denny Hamlin’s emotional testimony and the soaring cost of charters to Commissioner Steve Phelps’ “stupid redneck” text about Richard Childress and NASCAR’s grip on the media narrative, they dig into what this all means for teams, fans, and the future of the sport.

Then the guys shift gears to the NFL, where Trey’s bold call about the Panthers upsetting the Rams comes true and Bryce Young looks like a different quarterback. They talk Carolina’s playoff path, what the Panthers should do with Bryce long-term, Lane Kiffin’s latest chaos, and why trying to watch every NFL game across 10 streaming platforms could run fans nearly $750 a year.

The Carolina Panthers just shocked the NFL, and Gerrell Wheeler is here to break it all down after a massive 31–28 win over the 9–2 Los Angeles Rams. In one of the most complete performances of the season, the Panthers delivered on both sides of the ball—Bryce Young tossed three touchdowns, the run game found balance with Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle combining for strong production, Jalen Coker had his best game of the year, and the defense came up huge with a Mike Jackson pick-six and key turnovers from Derrick Brown and Nick Scott. Gerrell talks energy, execution, and why this felt like the team Carolina believed they could be back in Week 1.

Now sitting at 7–6 heading into the bye, Gerrell asks the big question: Who are the Panthers really? One week they’re unstoppable, the next week inconsistent—but with the NFC South wide open and four games left (Saints, Bucs, Seahawks, Bucs), a playoff push is absolutely on the table. Gerrell lays out the path, the mindset, and why maintaining offensive balance is the key to finishing strong. If Carolina keeps this momentum, we may just be talking about a 10-win season and a postseason return no one expected. It’s up for the city—believe that.

Rivalry week is here and Jacari & Jamari are locked in on the chaos. On this episode of The 2 Minute Drill, the guys break down a wild Week 13, including Oregon’s statement win over USC, Pitt exposing Georgia Tech, Illinois’ shocking collapse against Wisconsin, and Oklahoma grinding out a massive playoff-boosting victory over Missouri. Then they dive into the messiest storyline in college football: the Lane Kiffin saga — what it means for Ole Miss, LSU, the playoff committee, and the players caught in the middle.

They also zoom out to the FCS playoffs, react to North Dakota State, Montana, the Ivy League’s debut, and more, before turning their attention to rivalry week: Michigan–Ohio State, the Iron Bowl, Texas–Texas A&M, Clemson–South Carolina, and a bunch of under-the-radar grudge matches with real stakes. Finally, they kick around their Heisman leaderboard — from Frank Mendoza and Jeremiyah Love to dark horse Marcel Reed — and lay out who they think controls their own destiny heading into championship weekend.

In this raw and emotional episode of Carolina Confidential, host Gerrell Wheeler breaks down the Carolina Panthers’ frustrating 20–9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football — a game that perfectly defines the term roller coaster.

Gerrell shares why this matchup felt like the true identity of a .500 football team, pointing to the contrast between a dominant defensive performance and an offense that completely stalled. Despite forcing three interceptions from Brock Purdy and creating premium scoring opportunities, the Panthers offense led by Bryce Young failed to capitalize, leaving fans with that familiar sinking feeling.

From questionable play-calling and disappearing run game, to untimely drops and inconsistency under center, Gerrell lays out why this loss was particularly painful—especially under the bright lights of prime time, a stage the Panthers rarely get. He highlights standout defensive moments from J.C. Horn, Mike Jackson, and a unit playing short-handed, while expressing the growing difficulty of defending the offense’s lack of production.

Looking ahead to next week’s matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, Gerrell asks the tough questions: Can this offense respond? Is Bryce Young capable of leading back-to-back strong performances? And where does this team actually stand in a wide-open division?

It’s honest, frustrated, passionate — everything Panthers fans are feeling this week.

On this week’s Speed This Week, the Crew Chief and driver Trey Rice tag in a special guest: Mark “Yarbs” Yarbro from Breaking Sports with Yarbs & Will for a crossover episode on the Fourcast Sports Network. The guys go deep on the state of NASCAR, from dropping TV ratings and scattered broadcast/streaming deals to whether the playoff format and stage racing are pushing longtime fans away. Yarbs shares old-school stories from the infield at the 600, while Trey breaks down why moving races across Fox, NBC, Prime, and CW is quietly hurting the sport’s connection with its core audience.

Then they slide over to the NFL and a massive Monday Night Football showdown: Panthers vs. 49ers. The crew debates what Bryce Young’s 400+ yard explosion really means, whether Carolina can seize first place in the NFC South, and how much Christian McCaffrey’s “revenge game” factor matters. They wrap with a Thanksgiving-week moment of gratitude, appreciation for the grind, and a promise: if the Panthers show up under the lights, they’ll be back to talk about it.

On this episode of 2 Minute Drill, Jacari and Jamari are deep in the Week 13 grind with a full slate of college football talk. They kick things off recapping a wild Week 12, breaking down:

• Oklahoma’s statement win over Alabama, led by a nasty Brent Venables defense and a struggling Tide run game
• Texas A&M’s crazy comeback vs South Carolina, where Marcel Reed turns a nightmare first half into a legit Heisman-moment second half
• USF vs Navy, a sneaky shootout featuring Byron Brown’s dual-threat performance and the headache that is defending the triple option
• Memphis vs ECU, as the Pirates stay alive in the AAC race with a clutch late drive and a brutal collapse from Memphis

In Segment 2, they zoom out to the big-picture storylines:

• What James Franklin to Virginia Tech really means for the Hokies, ACC recruiting, and his legacy
• Whether Lane Kiffin should stay at Ole Miss or chase another big job
• Reactions to the latest College Football Playoff rankings, including Alabama’s spot, Georgia heating up, and who actually controls their own destiny
• Rapid-fire picks for conference champions across the AAC, ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, C-USA, MAC, Mountain West, Sun Belt, and SEC

Finally, in Segment 3, they make Week 13 predictions for:

• USC vs Oregon
• Missouri vs Oklahoma
• Florida vs Tennessee
• BYU vs Cincinnati

Quick-hitting, opinionated, and packed with playoff implications—this week’s 2 Minute Drill is all about who’s real, who’s cooked, and who still has a path to December.

On this episode of Breaking Sports with Yarbs & Will, the guys bulldoze through another wild week on the gridiron. They break down Texas A&M’s insane 27-point comeback on South Carolina and what it revealed about Mike Elko’s team, then dive into the latest College Football Playoff drama: why Miami sits behind Notre Dame despite beating them head-to-head, and whether the ACC is there for the taking with James Franklin now at Virginia Tech and Dave Doeren feeling very “end of an era” at NC State.

They also hit Fernando Mendoza’s surging Heisman case, fire off a fresh round of Sports Stat nuggets (from SEC history to Josh Allen’s alien performance and Matthew Stafford vs the blitz), and detour into a fun 3-on-3 Robin Williams movie draft. In the NFL corner, Yarbs & Will wrestle with what Bryce Young’s record-setting day vs the Falcons really means, rant about officiating accountability in “Get Off My Lawn,” question the Drake May coronation tour, talk Shador Sanders’ tough debut, wonder if Justin Fields is officially done, and admit—even while complaining—they still watch every single international NFL game at 9:30 a.m. every Sunday.

On this episode of Carolina Confidential, Gerrell Wheeler is feeling good as the Panthers sweep the Falcons with a 30–27 win in Atlanta—and Bryce Young puts the league on notice.

Gerrell breaks down Bryce’s record-setting day, as the young QB torches Atlanta for 448 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions, and breaks Cam Newton’s single-game franchise passing mark. He talks about Bryce’s poise, his chemistry with Adam Thielen, Ja’Tavion Sanders, and Tommy Tremble, and why this is the version of Bryce Panthers fans have been desperate to see.

On the other side of the ball, Gerrell gives Bijan Robinson his flowers after a big first half, then credits the Panthers defense for tightening up when it mattered most. He also zooms out to the NFC South picture—Panthers now 6–5, sitting second in the division—and walks through the brutal upcoming stretch (49ers, Rams, Saints, Bucs, Seahawks) and what Carolina has to do to keep this playoff push alive.

It’s optimism, realism, and pure Panthers fandom—“it just feels good to be a Panthers fan right now.”
