Coach opens Thursday's Afternoon Drive with the news of the day: Saquon Barkley is expected back for the Eagles on Monday night against the Cowboys (ESPN), and JJ Watt has landed a multiyear deal as CBS's lead NFL analyst alongside Jim Nantz, replacing Tony Romo (ESPN). Coach calls the No. 1 network analyst chair one of the best jobs in sports broadcasting.

Then Thursday Night Football: Patriots at Bears, both 4-2. Coach says Chicago has to stop playing prevent defense after letting Atlanta back into last week's 31-23 win, credits Buffalo for letting Drake Maye "off the mat,"...

Coach opens with Angel Reese, whose 21 and 12 in Atlanta's 26-point Game 3 win put the Dream up 2-1 in the WNBA Finals (ESPN). Then Mikey P and Peyton Lodge join for NBA opening night. Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg said after the Lakers' rout of Golden State that he "lost all respect" for Luka over his complaining (Yahoo Sports). Peyton agrees Luka hunts fouls, and Mikey calls Lendeborg "Draymond Jr." The crew also gets into LeBron James trading words with Knicks fans at MSG, Anthony Edwards' 45 in Minnesota's win in Miami (NBA.com), and LaMelo Ball telling Ernie Johnson that changing...

Coach opens Rant Wednesday by laying down the Super Chat ground rules, then hands Vince Russo the floor (with a parental advisory). Russo's problem with Monday's Raw in San Diego: after his face-to-face with Sami Zayn, Roman Reigns was shown leaving the building, and Russo says he and Ed Ferrara learned in the Attitude Era that when Stone Cold left the arena, the minute-by-minutes fell off a cliff. His fix keeps Roman, The Usos and The 946 in the building from the first 15 minutes, building on last week's main event, where Carmelo Hayes joined The 946. Then Russo explains, for adults...

NBA opening night delivered drama, and Coach and Mikey P start in New York. The Knicks raised their first banner in 53 years, but LeBron James' Sixers won 106-100 at Madison Square Garden in his Philadelphia debut (ESPN), and the giveaway shirts on every seat carried the wrong season (OutKick). Detroit erased a 22-point deficit with a 23-0 run against Boston (NBA.com), Victor Wembanyama went 1-for-13 in OKC, and Jalen Brunson's upcoming Law & Order: SVU cameo (ESPN) sets off Mikey's new rule: no changing teams after a TV cameo.

Then the NFL. The league concluded the Eagles...

Coach opens Tuesday's Afternoon Drive on NBA opening night: LeBron James starts his first season with the 76ers on a career-low salary and a Fanatics helicopter commute from New York, and he has to sit through the Knicks raising their championship banner at Madison Square Garden. Coach also previews Thunder-Spurs and says only Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Detroit can hang with the top of the West. (NBA.com)

Then football. Coach's power rankings: the Chiefs on top after Patrick Mahomes tied Tom Brady for the fewest games to 100 wins, then the 49ers, the Bills and the...

Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn opened Monday's Raw in San Diego face to face, World Heavyweight Champion against Undisputed WWE Champion, ahead of their champion vs. champion match at Crown Jewel in Riyadh on Nov. 7 (prowrestling.net, Wrestling Inc). JDFromNY liked the dynamic but says it sold WarGames and Survivor Series more than Crown Jewel. Coach doesn't see Sami on Roman's level. Then Reigns told Jackie Redmond he was leaving and drove off, only to stand tall with the Bloodline against The 946 at the end of the night. JD says it made Roman look like he doesn't care about...

It's the busiest day in the BTT universe and Coach opens with a beef: everyone at his New York autograph signing asked "Where is Vince?" Then the guys go in order. SmackDown on Oct 16 opened with Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn, Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae talking before Trick Williams came out, and Russo says shows have to start hot. Coach wonders why the stars are everywhere but wrestling, from Cody Rhodes promoting Street Fighter to Seth Rollins' new ESPN deal. Russo pitches the angle that should have built tonight's Cody Rhodes vs. Sami Zayn title match on Raw...

Coach opens the week with the news of the day: the Colts fired GM Chris Ballard after Sunday's 26-20 home loss to the Titans dropped them to 2-4, the Rays are a win from joining the Brewers in the World Series, and the Bills' C.J. Gardner-Johnson expects a fine after being ejected for spitting in Buffalo's 33-30 win over the Raiders. Then Mikey P and Brandon Combs walk through a historic college football Saturday: five of the top seven lost, including No. 1 Georgia at the gun against Auburn and No. 2 Notre Dame at BYU, where Brandon says the...

Thursday means Thursday Night Football, and Coach opens Week 6 with Seahawks at Broncos (SI). Both teams are 3-2, but Coach argues Seattle is better than people think and Denver is living on preseason hype. He points to Bo Nix's 123-yard game in the win over the Chargers and a season line of 942 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions (ClutchPoints), J.K. Dobbins' slow start, Jaxon Smith-Njigba's seven receiving touchdowns and the Cooper Kupp fourth-down play that came up short against the 49ers (Seahawks.com). He calls letting Kenneth Walker III go to Kansas City a calculated mistake by Seattle...

Coach, Mikey P and Peyton Lodge open with the NLCS: the Brewers beat the Dodgers 6-2 in Game 3 for a 3-0 series lead, with Jake Bauers' 11-pitch at-bat ending in the go-ahead two-run homer. Peyton says it's time to stop blaming Dodgers scapegoats and give the 103-win Brewers their flowers, and he's done with the "small ball" label for a lineup with four 18-plus-homer hitters. Then the money: the Dodgers' payroll tops the Brewers, Rays and Guardians combined, and the crew debates who that helps as MLB heads toward a lockout fight over a salary cap. Mikey shoots down...

Vince Russo opens with a retraction: after seeing new angles of Tiffany Stratton's ladder fall at Money in the Bank, he says nobody could have caught her. Coach announces a Coach and Bro combo night on Intro Live on Tuesday, Oct. 27 (six 10-minute one-on-one sessions).

Then it's all Roman Reigns. Reigns was at the Street Fighter premiere in Los Angeles while Raw ended with the Bloodline vs. the 946, and Russo's take is that, to TKO, Hollywood now supersedes the wrestling show. Coach asks what that does to the talent who are there every week, from LA Knight...

It's Wednesday, so it's college football and rants. Coach and Mikey P open with the new AP Top 25: Georgia climbs to No. 1 after winning 20-17 in Tuscaloosa, Texas tumbles to No. 7, Kentucky sits at No. 15 after beating LSU 35-34 in overtime, and Lane Kiffin's LSU has slid to No. 22 — three spots ahead of a ranked Northwestern. Coach argues Kiffin's arrogance after the Ole Miss loss is catching up with him; Mikey makes the case for Will Stein's Kentucky and breaks down the race for the four first-round byes.

Rant Wednesday: Mikey goes after Micah Parsons' podcast comments th...

Coach opens Tuesday's Afternoon Drive with his Week 6 power rankings: the unbeaten 49ers at No. 1 after a 32-29 win in Seattle, the 4-0 Chiefs off their bye, the 5-0 Vikings, the Bills and the Patriots, with the Bengals, Lions, Dolphins and Vikings on bye this week (NFL.com). Then breaking news: the Rams released kicker Harrison Mevis after he went 0-for-2 in Monday night's 37-34 overtime loss to Buffalo, including a 48-yarder that was blocked in OT (CBS Sports).

Then it's every Week 6 game in two minutes or less. Coach sizes up Seahawks-Broncos on Thursday night, Texans-Jaguars...

Roman Reigns retained the World Heavyweight Championship against LA Knight at Money in the Bank in New Orleans, and the match opened the show (Sacnilk). JDFromNY calls it Reigns' second-best match of 2026, behind CM Punk at WrestleMania, and Knight's best ever. He says Knight "got beat by WWE politics." Coach points out the irony of Triple H, who was told at WrestleMania 18 that the world title is the most important thing in the business, sending it out first. Then Raw: Solo Sikoa and the Usos against The 946 closed the show and Carmelo Hayes joined The 946 with a crowbar, but...

Coach calls it a week of dumb coaching, and Monday night was Exhibit A. Mikey P and Supi join him to break down Buffalo's 37-34 overtime win in L.A. (PFT): Josh Allen's 10 carries for 121 yards, Puka Nacua's 17 catches, James Cook's fumbles, and Sean McVay settling for a 48-yard try in overtime that Buffalo blocked. Coach argues 60-yard kicks have convinced coaches a 48-yarder is a chip shot, Mikey wants coaches to stop leaning on analytics graphics, and the crew credits Joe Brady's second-half adjustments. Then the Rams at 2-3 and the stretch that decides their season.

...

The Monday Night Grind previews Bills at Rams on Monday Night Football. Coach opens with the weekend's chaos, and Big Tommy C asks how Dan Quinn still has a job after the Commanders ran out the clock on themselves and settled for a 27-27 tie with the Giants. Mikey P is done with Nick Sirianni after the Eagles' last-second loss to the Jaguars, Raphael Esparza says the Steelers' offense is for real, and the panel agrees Aaron Rodgers has the most annoying celebration in football.

Then it's Best Bets from every panelist, the world premiere of Big...

Money in the Bank fallout. Roman Reigns kept the World Heavyweight Championship against LA Knight in New Orleans, and the title match opened the show after Triple H said Reigns demanded to go first. Coach says that killed any cash-in drama; Vince Russo gives WWE the benefit of the doubt but pitches the finish he would have run, a questionable count that gives Knight a real beef, and how he'd use Sami Zayn to get Knight to the next level. Triple H put Knight over after the show, and the guys react to Conrad Thompson calling Reigns overrated (Russo: "...

Coach calls it maybe the craziest NFL weekend he can remember, and Mikey P and Brandon Combs (BetMGM) agree. It starts with Sunday night: Baltimore erased an eight-point deficit late, Tyler Huntley led a 14-play, 7:03 overtime drive, and after Michael Penix Jr. went out Tua Tagovailoa's last-gasp throw was picked by Kyle Hamilton in a 30-23 Ravens win (PFT). Mikey says Tua is done as a backup option; Coach gives him a little more grace. Then the "best win of the day" debate: the Patriots' 45-17 rout of the Raiders (with Fernando Mendoza's NFL debut), Detroit's 45-21 blowout of...

Peyton Lodge (22) and Coach open on the Dodgers. Los Angeles beat Atlanta 3-1 in the NLDS, clinching 4-1 in Game 4 on Wednesday, and is in the NLCS for the third straight year (MLB.com). Coach says it's already a dynasty, $400 million payroll or not, and points to deadline pickup Tarik Skubal's clubhouse line, "If you don't play the game to win, then I don't relate to you." Peyton isn't sure you can say "dynasty" without a third ring, and says with this roster he could manage them to the World Series himself. In the NBA, Coach goes with Tyrese...

Fridays are story time. Coach went to Thursday night's Cowboys–Buccaneers game at AT&T Stadium and paid $32 for a pizza and a pretzel, and the guys pay tribute to Mike Ditka, who died at 86. Then the main event: Cody Rhodes says he re-signed with WWE and will finish his career there, and on the same podcast he suggested WWE money now compares with other sports. Coach runs the numbers on MLB, NBA and NFL salaries, Russo wants to know why a man in his 40s is telling his mom what he makes, and the two debate why so ma...

Coach was in the building Thursday night and saw it all: Tampa Bay, 0-4 coming in and starting undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels with Baker Mayfield out, beat Dallas 24-16 at AT&T Stadium. Bucky Irving ran for a career-high 165 yards on 21 carries as the Bucs outrushed the Cowboys 241-50. Coach, Mikey P and Supi pick apart Dak Prescott's hesitant night, CeeDee Lamb playing through a quad injury, Brian Schottenheimer's two-point try down eight, and Todd Bowles's fourth-and-goal gamble from the 1. Then the storyline that took over the night: a stadium worker's one-word review, "Embarrassing," and Dak's "feel free to...

Coach opens with breaking news out of Washington: after dislocating his left elbow against Dallas on Sept. 20, Jayden Daniels practiced fully this week and is trending toward starting Sunday when the 1-3 Commanders host the first-place Giants (ESPN). Then it's Thursday Night Football, with Coach heading to AT&T Stadium for Buccaneers at Cowboys: CeeDee Lamb is coming off a career-best 17-catch, 189-yard day (Dallas Cowboys), and the 0-4 Bucs turn to undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels with Baker Mayfield out. Coach asks whether Tampa Bay moves on from Todd Bowles.

Coach's three must-watch Week 5 games: the Ravens...

It's Thursday Night Football week on Coach and Company. Coach is headed to Arlington for Buccaneers at Cowboys tonight, and he, Mikey P and Peyton Lodge break down the matchup: Dallas (2-2) coming off a 34-30 comeback win in Houston, and Tampa Bay (0-4) starting undrafted Kansas rookie Jalon Daniels with Baker Mayfield (thumb) out and Antoine Winfield Jr. sidelined. Can the Cowboys' offense, with CeeDee Lamb coming off a 17-catch day, run away with it, and does Todd Bowles survive the season? Mikey P says the moving trucks should already be around the corner. Raphael Esparza stops by...

Coach and Vince Russo open by bringing on Gabby LaSpisa, who is competing in Top Host, the RØDE and iHeartRadio host search that benefits the Ryan Seacrest Foundation. The winner gets $25,000, a six-episode iHeartRadio podcast and a guest spot with Ryan Seacrest (Inside Radio). Gabby says voting is free every day. Coach calls her the most talented broadcaster he has worked with, and Russo gives her his thumbnail-face career advice. Russo then defends his friend Sebastian Maniscalco over SiriusXM replacing Raw Comedy with a Maniscalco channel, and the guys read a fan's note about their friendship.

C...

Coach and Mikey P preview BTT's new sit-down with Matchroom CEO Frank Smith and break down why Dana White won't let go of Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua. Then it's Rant Wednesday: Cam Ward's press-conference walkout, LeBron James' helicopter commute to Philadelphia, and the biggest college football games of Week 6.

Coach opens with the news of the day: Lionel Messi scored in his farewell match for Argentina in front of more than 85,000 fans (HOLA! USA), and Eagles All-Pro tackle Lane Johnson is retiring to focus on his mental health (ABC News). Then the big announcement: BTT Conversations...

Coach opens with the news. Lamar Jackson sprained his ankle and is reported unlikely to play Sunday night in Atlanta (ESPN), and the NFL Referees Association will challenge the suspensions of two officials (ESPN). His power rankings: the 4-0 Chiefs, who won 30-27 in Las Vegas and now have a bye; the unbeaten 49ers; the Falcons, who have scored 80 points in two weeks since turning to Michael Penix Jr.; the Seahawks; and the 3-1 Jaguars. Then every Week 5 game in two minutes or less (NFL.com). Thursday's Bucs-Cowboys is "all about Dallas" and CeeDee Lamb's 17-catch day in Houston...

Money in the Bank is Saturday in New Orleans, streaming on ESPN (WWE.com), and Raw's go-home show didn't sell JDFromNY. Roman Reigns came back after three weeks for a short segment with LA Knight. JD says Knight did "99 percent of the legwork" and has to win the World Heavyweight Championship, because "what does he do from here" if he loses. Coach agrees. Reigns "does not need to be protected anymore," and he'd rather have the guy who shows up every week carrying the title. Both hosts hammer the Bloodline story on Raw (Slam Wrestling): a week after Jaida...

It's Tuesday, so it's the look-ahead, but first a victory lap. The Monday Night Grind went 6-0 at halftime, so Coach and Raphael Esparza put two $25 merch gift cards on the wheel for the live chat. Raphael admits he was wrong about the Saints, because the Falcons ran away with it 45-24 (NFL.com). Bijan Robinson went for 145 yards and two touchdowns, including a 59-yard run, Brian Robinson Jr. scored three times, and Drake London caught five for 96 (ESPN). Coach wonders if we've seen a back this dynamic since Barry Sanders. Mikey P credits Atlanta's offensive line for running...

Vince Russo spent his weekend on Coach's YouTube TV family plan, and he used it to dig into Coach's past. Coach was a three-time All-KCAC first-teamer and two-time KCAC Player of the Year at McPherson College, and he ranks third there with 1,782 career points (McPherson College). Russo can't believe he's never bragged about it. Then topic one: Jim Cornette says Russo "desecrated" the WCW title by putting it on himself in 2000. Russo says the title is a prop, calls Cornette a mark, and argues that the casual fan won't buy Sami Zayn as Undisputed WWE Champion next to Penta...

Mikey P swore Tyson Bagent would start for the Bears. Coach rolls the tape: Case Keenum took the first snap against the Jets, handed off once, and Ben Johnson said afterward that he'd read "all these memos" saying Bagent was starting, so he sent Keenum out for a "ceremonial first pitch" (PFT). Bagent played the rest of the 23-12 win, and Kyle Monangai carried 30 times. Mikey P counters that Coach is the brand's Case Keenum and he's the one getting the torch. Then Sunday night: Bryce Young threw for 329 yards and two touchdowns and Tetairoa McMillan caught 14 passes for 192...

Peyton Lodge (22) and Coach open on the wreckage of the NFL's first three weeks. Caleb Williams (hamstring), Jayden Daniels (elbow) and Jaxson Dart (season-ending knee surgery) all went down in Week 2. Coach calls Williams the biggest loss because Chicago is closest to a playoff run. Peyton says it's Dart, because the Giants' season goes with him, even if Case Keenum just led the Bears past the Eagles on Monday night. That leads to Coach's real question for the Gen Z guy: why was Caleb Williams grinning in a robe in the locker room while Keenum got the game ball...

The Coach and Bro open their first show since AEW's Dynamite tribute to PAC, who passed away on Sunday, Sept 27. Russo credits Tony Khan's heart, Coach compares the night to the post-9/11 SmackDown, and both point to the tributes from Jon Moxley, Chris Jericho, Eddie Kingston and Kenny Omega, who reportedly flew in from Japan. Russo then goes off on everyone asking whether Netflix knew what it was buying. After the Netflix replay blacked out Jacob Fatu being hit with a car door and run over on Raw, his argument is that Netflix wants you watching live and has...

Thursday night in Cleveland went the way Coach said it would. The Browns led by eight late, Aaron Rodgers threw a touchdown and converted the two-point try himself to tie it 24-24, and Andre Szmyt hit a 56-yard field goal with 10 seconds left to win it 27-24 (Cleveland Browns). The Browns are 3-1 and alone in first in the AFC North, with Deshaun Watson leading a game-winning drive for the third straight week. He went 24-of-33 for 268 yards and called the night "electric" (Yahoo Sports). Coach says the atmosphere could revive downtown Cleveland and that sports is the great...

News of the day starts in Dallas, where the Cowboys traded for cornerback Joey Porter Jr. after his contract standoff in Pittsburgh, and he could debut Sunday in Houston (Athlon Sports). Sonny Gray is unhappy after being pulled at 70 pitches as the Red Sox were swept out of the Wild Card round by the Yankees, and Coach says he has a right to be (MLB.com). San Diego State is dealing with a mumps outbreak days before its Pac-12 opener against Texas State (SDSU).

Then Thursday Night Football: Steelers at Browns (SI). Coach calls it the best...

News of the day opens on the MLB Wild Card sweeps: the White Sox in Houston, the Yankees over the Red Sox and the Padres over the Cubs, with Phillies–Braves headed to a Game 3 that night (FOX Sports). San Diego State's football team has a mumps outbreak days before its first-ever Pac-12 game, against Texas State (CBS Sports). Peyton Lodge is up early for every MLB playoff pitch and thinks either the Phillies or the Braves can beat the Dodgers. Mikey P, a Red Sox fan, switches to football: he says Jerry Jones is "getting smarter as he ge...

The Coach and Bro are back after Monday Night Raw, and Vince Russo has found himself in a pop-culture beef. After Jaida Parker's surprise Raw arrival, when she ran Jacob Fatu down with a car and left with The 946, Russo posted that WWE is ignoring the casual fan. O'Shea Jackson Jr. fired back on X: Jaida Parker was in a Royal Rumble, and NXT is free on The CW every Tuesday. Coach reads the exchange, Russo gives his definition of a casual fan, and Coach pulls the receipts: Raw averages roughly 2.5–3 million on Netflix, while NXT sits around 650,000. The gu...

The Wild Card round opened with two road teams and two home teams winning. In Atlanta, Austin Riley's three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth turned a 3-2 deficit into a 5-3 Braves win over the Phillies (Boston Globe). The White Sox jumped out early and held on to beat the Astros 6-3 in Houston (KPRC). In the Bronx, Cam Schlittler threw 6⅓ scoreless innings on 117 pitches, and Ben Rice capped a 9-0 rout of the Red Sox with a two-out grand slam in the eighth (MLB.com). In San Diego, Michael King took a no-hit bid into the se...

Coach opens with his Week 3 power rankings. The Chiefs are No. 1: Kansas City beat Miami 24-10 while calling the game "like the Patriots did with Brady." Next come the 3-0 Bills, who beat the Chargers 24-16, and then the 49ers, fresh off a 36-17 win over Arizona. Denver is fourth after coming back from 16-0 down to beat the Rams 30-26 on Sunday Night Football, and Jacksonville is fifth, with Minnesota as the honorable mention. Then comes Giants news: New York traded for J.J. McCarthy with Jaxson Dart out for the season, and released Odell Beckham Jr.. Braxton...

Chicago played host to the biggest wrestling weekend of the fall, and The 2 Count picks it apart. AEW sold out the NOW Arena for All Out while WWE ran Worlds Collide across town with CM Punk, Oba Femi and Omos. Coach and JDFromNY debate who actually won the weekend — sell-out vs. bigger house — and whether AEW's pay-per-views need more story and less length. Then it's Will Ospreay's defiant "don't step to us" promo against Swerve Strickland's celebrate-the-20,000 take, and a no-holds-barred review of the Ospreay vs. Jon Moxley main event.

On the business side, the guys break down...

Case Keenum was the Bears' third-string quarterback and hadn't started a game since December 2023. On Monday night he went 24-of-34 for 247 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions, added a rushing score, and Chicago beat Philadelphia 27-7 to move to 2-1 (ESPN). He started because Caleb Williams is out with a hamstring injury (ESPN). Coach, Mikey P and Supi relive the night, from Keenum's locker-room line ("I may not be a cowboy, but this ain't my first rodeo") to Caleb Williams' sideline robe. Mikey P argues Nick Sirianni should take a page from Dan Lanning's book after Jalen Hurts...
