JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are comin' at you from Richmond(!!!!), sight of Washington training camp (until they head back to Ashburn at the end of the week). And, unfortunately, they have to focus on a negative storyline to begin, because Ron Rivera is MAD about his squad's poor vaccination rate. After recapping the coach's opening presser, which was dominated by COVID talk, the guys do get into Logan Thomas' new contract, which everyone loves (just like the Jonathan Allen deal). BUT, unfortunately again, the trio has to discuss something negative, as they react to Curtis Samuel opening up camp on the PUP list, which is a development that occurred as they were recording.

If you like podcasts where Pete crashes and burns when going through Thomas' contract details and the ever-popular One Thing segment returns, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

After they give their main takeaways from the two Wright episodes, they move on to another packed discussion about Ryan Fitzpatrick, which was sparked by some comments that concerned the very pro-Fitz Pete.

Ep 752One more pre-training camp interview with Ryan Fitzpatrick and a very bizarre snake draft that you will appreciate
JP Finlay and Mitch Tischler kick off this Washington Football Talk by sitting down with Ryan Fitzpatrick for one more chat before training camp begins later this month. While with the QB, Mitch and JP get his thoughts on his pre-camp mindset, the vibe surrounding his new squad and what it's been like watching his beloved Suns get to the NBA Finals. Once Fitz departs, Pete Hailey returns to be a part of a draft dreamt up by Mitch, where the three hosts each pick from a pool of things that various Washington players have done this offseason. The draft consists of six selections, lots of confusion and one clear winner. If you like podcasts where Pete reveals how little he knows about both fishing and hunting and Ben Simmons gets mentioned in the weirdest possible way, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

During their chat with Linares, the hosts ask him about his iconic call from last year's playoff game, get his thoughts on why he's so juiced up about the defense and also get a feel for what he'll be doing while covering the Olympics for NBC (yes, Moises is a very busy dude). If you like podcasts where Mitch and JP reveal what their early career goals were and Moises casually drops the fact that he's about to publish a new book, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have an Emergency Pod for you as they react to the NFL's punishment of Washington, which was handed down on Thursday following the conclusion of the league's investigation into the team's workplace culture.

Ep 749Washington football expert Rick Snider joins to talk Tanya Snyder being named the team's co-CEO, stadium locations and more
The Washington Football Team made some rather large news on Tuesday by giving Tanya Snyder a co-CEO title, so JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey asked longtime reporter and analyst of the team, Rick Snider, to join them in reacting to it. During Snider's time on the show, you'll hear why he's distrustful of the move's timing and what it could mean in terms of what's coming in the near future for the organization. Snider also gives his thoughts on the stadium search as well as some of the best, old helmets Washington used to wear. If you like podcasts where a DC legend reveals his favorite pizza in the city and also discusses what it was like working at the same newspaper as Marty Hurney, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 748Areas Washington must improve to be a real playoff contender and a recap of JP's up-and-down golf weekend
The Washington Football Talk podcast is nothing if not honest, so let's be honest: JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were supposed to have a guest call in for this edition of the show, but that guest never actually called in, leaving the hosts in scramble mode. So, JP, Mitch and Pete decided to briefly run through some things they believe the Burgundy and Gold must fix to go from playoff participator to playoff contender, and then, they recap a momentous golf weekend for JP. Sorry, it's late June, there's not much going on and the one thing they had planned didn't come through. If you like podcasts where JP isn't the one with a faulty Zoom connection for once, then this is the episode for you. And, to be clear, some real, actual and fantastic guests are coming in the near future, so get geared up for that.

Ep 747Revisiting the team name conversation, discussing Jonathan Allen's future and interviewing rookie tight end John Bates
To begin this Washington Football Talk, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey once again hone in on the franchise's never-ending name search, which was once again in the news this past weekend. That leads to a fun review of an infamous interview JP had on this very show last year with the guy who trademarked a lot of potential names. After handling that, the trio shifts focus to Jonathan Allen's future, wondering if he's due for an extension soon. And to close, they toss to their recent minicamp chat with rookie tight end John Bates, who explains what a productive first year in the league looks like for him and tabs who'd be the best javelin thrower out of JP, Mitch and Pete. If you like podcasts where things fall apart within the first two minutes and Mitch's burner account actually proves to be useful, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 746Further examining Ryan Fitzpatrick and Taylor Heinicke at QB and an interview with rising rookie Benjamin St-Juste
JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have a classic, all-over-the-place but very useful Washington Football Talk here for you, and it begins with a deep dive into what's going on at QB. In that segment, the guys try to estimate the odds of Taylor Heinicke starting over Ryan Fitzpatrick in Week 1, and JP tries to figure out Pete's exact stance on Fitzy. After exhausting that angle, JP runs through a story he wrote that looked at a whole bunch of random topics relating to the Burgundy and Gold with training camp a month-plus away, and he allows Pete and Mitch to react to some of his points. Once that ends, they toss to their interview with rookie corner Benjamin St-Juste, who was really impressive in terms of his professionalism, attitude and opinion on taxes. Then, to close, you'll get a US Open preview and a harrowing tale from Pete that involves choking on rice. If you like podcasts where JP invokes the legendary Ron Swanson and Pete just BOTCHES an Ernest Hemingway reference, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 745FINAL MINICAMP POD: Our most important takeaways — including QB thoughts — and JP's chat with Antonio Gibson
JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey made their way to a special location to wrap up Washington's minicamp, a location that'll be revealed (prematurely) by Mitch. Before all that, though, the three hosts go through the most noticeable things they picked up on during the week's action, which leads to conversations on Ryan Fitzpatrick and Taylor Heinicke, the defensive backs and more. The trio also touches on Montez Sweat's comments about getting the COVID-19 vaccine. After that, you'll hear JP's 1-on-1 with Antonio Gibson, who discusses how much more comfortable he's feeling heading into his second year as a pro as well as how he's sleeping with his new daughter now in the house. And to close, JP, Mitch and Pete make time for some shtick, which includes a TMI segment about their legs. If you like podcasts where JP comes up with a splendid comparison for Heinicke in Scott Turner's offense and also asks quite the question about male anatomy, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 744FIRST MINICAMP POD: Chase Young's return, an Adam Humphries discussion and an interview with Darrick Forrest
JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were in Ashburn for the opening practice of Washington minicamp — and so was Chase Young. So, that's where the hosts begin, reacting to Young's return to the field. After that, they chat about how Antonio Gibson is looking as well as the team's running back depth overall. Next, there's some Curtis Samuel injury talk. Then, JP and Pete go back and forth on whether Adam Humphries is a roster lock or not, which is a segment that actually dragged on for quite a while (which won't shock regular listeners). To close, the guys identify the One Thing that stood out to them from Tuesday's action before tossing to Mitch and Pete's interview with rookie safety Darrick Forrest, who reveals the impact he's having on special teams in addition to defense and also gives his stamp of approval on the nickname JP's been pushing for. If you like podcasts where Pete is loud wrong on how to pronounce a certain word and JP comes clean on the day he skipped high school football practice, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 743SECOND OTAs RECAP: Updates on Antonio Gibson, Landon Collins, etc., as well as an interview with Bobby McCain
With Washington's second week of OTAs behind them, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are ready to discuss them. While it's strictly their turn on the mic, the guys run through notes on everyone from Landon Collins (and his future), Antonio Gibson (and his toe), Chase Young (and his second absence), Taylor Heinicke (and his unfortunate practice injury) and Logan Thomas (and his "steel hands," which Mitch weirdly uses as a compliment). Then, they toss to their interview with new safety Bobby McCain, who shared some insight on why he takes being a leader so seriously and what it was like facing Ryan Fitzpatrick in Miami the past few years. JP also asks him for a random favor that listeners will enjoy. If you like podcasts where JP, Mitch and Pete show a total lack of knowledge about Chile and there's some more commiseration about their respective golf games, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 742Talking about Jay-Z and talking to Logan Thomas, as well as giving our EARLY predictions for Washington's players of the year
Before going their separate ways for Memorial Day, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey got together for one last Washington Football Talk. To begin, they discuss the rumors that Jay-Z is positioning himself to buy into the Washington Football Team and re-hash the day JP first brought that up. Then, they react to Ron Rivera's decision to cancel an OTAs session and explain what that means and whether they like it. After that, they throw to a recent interview with tight end Logan Thomas, who covers everything from Ryan Fitzpatrick to Tim Tebow to his family's new business venture. And lastly, ESPN's John Keim and the Richmond Times-Dispatch's Michael Phillips hop on and join JP, Mitch and Pete as they give out some super-early predictions on who'll star for Washington in 2021. That portion has plenty of punchlines but also solid analysis, too. If you like podcasts where Phillips goes on a weird Adam Humphries tangent for no apparent reason and Mitch's sleeveless shirt is brought up multiple times, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

During the opening part of the show, the hosts run through their many observations, which include thoughts on the offense's improved speed, Dyami Brown's big play, some intriguing lineups along the O-line, the absences of Chase Young and Montez Sweat and Landon Collins' participation level. The guys also quickly chat about Julio Jones' trade market and recap a heated segment featuring Pete on JP's radio show. After that, they toss to JP's 1-on-1 with Jack Del Rio, which was recorded soon after the club selected Jamin Davis, so you'll hear the coordinator's thoughts on his newest linebacker.

Ep 740Nick Sundberg joins to reflect on his Washington career and explain what's next, plus analysis on Morgan Moses and Ryan Kerrigan
Settle in for this Washington Football Talk, because it's lengthy and a quality one. JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey get things going by reacting to the news that Morgan Moses' time in Burgundy and Gold is about to wrap up — is this the right call by Ron Rivera? — and also discuss Ryan Kerrigan joining the rival Eagles. Once they cover every angle about those two Washington staples, they then welcome on another in former long snapper Nick Sundberg, one of the show's most beloved guests. In their long chat with Nick, the hosts get an update on how he's feeling physically and mentally, what parts of his Washington career he'll miss the most and what he's hoping to accomplish in the future.

First, though, they react to the team signing safety Bobby McCain, another veteran who could start come Week 1. Then, it's camp observations time, as they give their initial thoughts on everything from Sammis Reyes to Dyami Brown to who's wearing the best number to Antonio Gandy-Golden. Once they go through various conversations based on the action, Pete gives another cat update (a disheartening one, too) and then they toss to Mitch and Pete's interview with Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops. In that chat, Stoops explains why Washington fans will fall in love with Jamin Davis as well as why he's perfect for a franchise that's trying to change the culture.

By the end, you'll have their records for the Burgundy and Gold as well as plenty of analysis (some that's useful and some that's, uh, not). Then, to close, they get in an argument over something that Pete brings up and break out their 100 Chips regarding who'll be the offense's starting QB by Week 1. If you like podcasts where Mike Shanahan causes lots of tension and JP drops the word "bifurcates," then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

After that, they toss to their interview with Scott Turner, the team's offensive coordinator, to get his thoughts on everything from Dyami Brown to Ryan Fitzpatrick to reuniting with Curtis Samuel.

Ep 734DRAFT POD, DAY 2: Analyzing Washington's newest tackle, DB and wideout — and explaining why there's no new QB
Well that was a hell of a Friday for the Washington Football Team! JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are back for their second draft podcast of 2021, and this one is all about Sam Cosmi, Benjamin St-Juste and Dyami Brown. The guys bring you up to speed on Ron Rivera's newest lineman, defensive back and wide receiver, and pick their favorite of the three selections. In the midst of that, you'll get JP's 1-on-1 with Cosmi, which is the sort of special access you're used to from this show. After those segments, the hosts explain why Washington didn't take a QB through Days 1 and 2, and then zip through a ton of other topics, including RG3's cheapshot on Kirk Cousins, another sign of Bruce Allen's incompetency and Pete's worrisome memory loss. If you like podcasts where Mitch quotes Macbeth and there's a follow-up debate about Rivera's wardrobe, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

First, JP leads a segment on bold predictions for Washington's upcoming haul. Then, JP brings up a few players, like Devonta Smith, whom he thinks could surprise people and slide to pick No. 19. After that, the guys run through a listener-submitted "All Ashburn Syndrome Team," which is very fun, and close things down with some shtick about Mitch's Twitter account and other shticky things. If you like podcasts where JP makes the most bougie complaint ever and Mitch's nephew identifies whom he'd like Washington to select, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The hosts cover so, so much, including their frustration over Washington's name search, Dan Snyder's legal battle with Bruce Allen, trading up (or waiting?) for Trey Lance, draft targets beyond the first round and more. There's also lots of shtick, including an unbelievable tale from Pete about his cat being a nuisance. Then, once they say goodbye, you'll get Pete's detailed interview with Steve Hagen, who personally coached Washington's new tight end, Sammis Reyes, at the IMG Academy.

Ep 728Examining where Washington's trade-up opportunities are in the draft and picking the team's top three positions of need

That segment includes a review of Michael Lombardi's comments from last week regarding Trey Lance as well as an in-depth evaluation of which squads Washington could talk to about a deal/moving up. After looking at that topic from all necessary angles, the trio then each lists their top three positions of need for Washington, and Mitch surprisingly doesn't begin his list with an offensive lineman. Lastly, JP reviews his trip to Augusta for The Masters, for those shtick-loving listeners out there.

If you like podcasts where Mitch and JP each provide updates on their dogs and the trio comes up with a tasty bet for their new fantasy venture, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 723Updates on Dan Snyder's ownership and Washington's search for a team name, plus an interview with Jason Campbell

Instead, this installment begins with an update from JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey on Dan Snyder's ownership status, which saw a major development on Wednesday. The guys run through all of that news — and JP drops one hell of a theory — before they turn their attention to the franchise's hunt for its next name. Will that hunt actually result in a new moniker? The hosts don't all agree. Lastly, you'll hear JP, Mitch and Pete's chat with Jason Campbell, who gives his take on the Ryan Fitzpatrick addition and then gets dismayed at how little Pete knows about Auburn football.

In this installment, the guys explain how Samuel will make the offense so much more difficult to defend, how he'll fit in among the other weapons and how his arrival caps off what's been a super week for the franchise. Also, at the end, they take some time to say bye to Washington legend and pod legend Nick Sundberg.

Whether you're delighted by the news or upset by it, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to walk you through what it means for both the player and the organization.
