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...

This isn't the usual Coach and Bro. In three weeks, the wrestling world lost "The Butcher" Andy Williams at 48 (https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/pro-wrestler-collapses-during-show-in-pittsburgh/) and Pac at 40 (https://www.cnn.com/2026/09/28/sport/pac-benjamin-satterley-death-hnk), and Sting's son Steven Borden was stretchered out of AEW All Out (https://www.pwtorch.com/site/2026/09/27/tony-khan-gives-update-on-steven-bordens-condition-after-all-out-says-he-is-hopeful-he-will-fly-home-with-his-family/). Vince Russo asks the question nobody in the business wants to answer: if this were baseball, football or basketball, what would the headlines, the coverage and the changes look like? And at what point does wrestling finally say enough?

Coach and Vince break down...

Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua was finally signed for December 11 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff. The fight is bankrolled by Turki Alalshikh and carries a reported purse of about $200 million. Within a day, it was in doubt over Dana White's involvement (Spokesman-Review/AP). Eddie Hearn says Joshua's contract bars White from the event: "We stand by our contract." White fired back, "Who's going to stop me?" (Sky Sports). The fight isn't officially off, but it's wobbling.

Coach brings in his friend of 25 years, Todd Grisham, and it turns into a real fight. Coach says nobody will care...

It's Friday story time, and Coach shows up sunburned. He just drove 90 minutes each way to watch his son JJ shoot a 73 in his first Texas high school golf tournament, and JJ later walks into the shot to thank the chat. Coach and Vince take it somewhere real: know what matters before it's too late. Then the news. JBL says WWE won't air Worlds Collide live the same weekend AEW All Out has sold out in Chicago. Coach asks whether WWE is quietly conceding the weekend rather than paying to fly in a full production crew.

A...

Mikey P sits in for Coach alongside numbers guy Raphael Esparza for an all-football Friday. First, a baseball detour: Raphael celebrates Pete Crow-Armstrong becoming just the seventh 40-40 player in MLB history as both the Cubs and White Sox clinched. Then the best bets:

Coach starts with the Falcons at Packers on Thursday Night Football. Michael Penix Jr. takes over for Cooper Rush after Atlanta's 0-2 start, and every best bet on the morning's Coach and Company went Atlanta's way. For Coach, the game is really about Green Bay. He argues Jordan Love is playing well below his level at a 52% completion rate, and that the Packers were a Jets collapse away from 0-2. He still thinks an "adequate" Green Bay can win a wide-open NFC North. He also points to the injury wave reshaping teams across the league.

Next come...

Coach, Peyton Lodge and Mikey P open Thursday with best bets for Falcons at Packers, and every pick leans on Michael Penix Jr.'s return. Mikey P takes Penix over 206 passing yards and Kyle Pitts at four or more catches. Peyton takes Atlanta +3.5 and Drake London's receiving yards, pointing out that London has topped 100 yards in five of his last six games with Penix at quarterback. Coach adds two international plays for Thursday four-ball at the Presidents Cup at Medinah: Ryan Fox and Adam Scott, and Tom Kim with Si Woo Kim.

Then the breaking news. Tyson...

Mikey P and Lia Dorchinez work "backwards to the future," starting with UFC 331:

The centerpiece is Sean Sharaf knocking out Gable Steveson in 12 seconds as a heavy underdog...

It's Wednesday, the show is now Monday–Wednesday–Friday at about an hour a pop, and BTT is live in Austria for the first time (not Australia — though Vince confirms Australia belongs on Coach's bucket list). After Vince's fantasy-baseball anxiety — "Wolf Mall" just took first place for the first time all season — Coach goes straight to the story the chat came for: Vince Russo has parted ways with Juggalo Championship Wrestling after a year as head writer.

Vince is clear there was no falling-out with Violent J ("I would take a bullet for this dude") and gives his two re...

Rant Wednesday on Coach and Company starts with the story New York didn't want to hear. Jaxson Dart got hurt in the Giants' 28-6 Monday night loss to the Rams. John Harbaugh's first read was "in the neighborhood" of an MCL sprain. Now there are reports of MCL, PCL and meniscus damage and season-ending surgery. Big Tommy C wants the front office to stop keeping fans in the dark. The panel agrees the Giants need a real answer behind Jameis Winston, who went 11-of-27 for 111 yards in relief. Mikey P floats a buy-low call to Minnesota for J.J...

Coach opens show No. 3 of Afternoon Drive with his Week 2 power rankings: 1. Bills, 2. 49ers, 3. Chiefs, 4. Seahawks, 5. Rams — three NFC West teams in the top five. Buffalo is 2-0 after dropping 36 on Houston and 41 on Detroit, and Josh Allen already has nine total touchdowns (NFL.com/Yahoo). San Francisco won its first two by 20-plus, including the 27-7 opener over the Rams in Melbourne (49ers.com), and the Rams earn their spot after Monday night's 28-6 win over the Giants, with Aaron Donald back and making a difference (NFL.com).

Then it's every Week 3 game in two minutes or...

It's the weekend wrestling fans have circled for months. AEW All Out and WWE's Worlds Collide go head-to-head in Chicago on the same night. Coach and JDfromNY start the show by deciding who has already won the weekend. Both say AEW, because All Out sold out without ever addressing WWE, while WWE still hasn't said where its show will air. From there they break down All Out's card: Will Ospreay's first true pay-per-view title defense against Jon Moxley, and what could be Cope and Christian's last big moment in a three-way TLC tag title match with FTR and the...

It's lookahead Tuesday, and Coach opens with the viral doppelgänger discourse — he's convinced Jalen Hurts is doing a Coach impression, and Supi would like everyone to stop calling him Jason Kelce — before the panel gets to a Monday night that was over almost before it started. Jaxson Dart left on the Giants' opening drive with a knee injury (believed to be a sprained MCL), Jameis Winston went 11-of-27 for 111 yards in relief, and the Rams rolled 28-6 behind Matthew Stafford's 327 yards and four touchdowns and Davante Adams' 8-catch, 195-yard night — with Aaron Donald back in the lineup and Puka Na...

It's Monday, and after a rocky start (Coach's mic goes down, Producer Man briefly takes the wheel) The Coach and Bro get into a Big Three that skips the usual segment-by-segment Raw and SmackDown breakdown for three heavier conversations. Before that, Vince has "middle to extensive heat" with Coach over the Chiefs failing to cover and the viral "That's my husband!" moment from Sunday night, and Coach is trending after NFL Twitter decided Jalen Hurts' sideline look was a dead ringer for one of his classic entrance videos.

The lead story is a serious one: indie wrestler...

It's the busiest day of the week at BTT Studios, and Coach and Raphael Esparza only have the morning to get through all of NFL Week 2 — starting with Sunday night's 70-minute classic at Arrowhead, where the Chiefs beat the Colts 33-30 in overtime behind a vintage Patrick Mahomes (382 yards, 3 TD) and a 101-yard night from Travis Kelce. Raphael's takeaway is that Mahomes spreading the ball to seven receivers, including a late shot to Tyquan Thornton, is what makes Kansas City dangerous again; Coach notes the Colts defense now owns the NFL record for yards allowed through two games and do...

Peyton Lodge and Coach open on the weekend that proves the whole premise of this show — 50-year-olds crashing in fraternity houses in Oxford because there isn't a hotel room left in the state. From there it's the NBA's Clippers ruling, handed down September 2, which required Kawhi Leonard to pay $700,000, fined the organization $30 million, stripped five first-round picks between 2029 and 2033, and suspended Steve Ballmer for a year.1 Coach won't put it on Leonard — he blames the agents and the people above him, drawing on his own years working for a billionaire — while Peyton is stuck on the sheer size of number...
