Beltway Football

For the last time before embarking to Richmond for training camp, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey got together for a Washington Football Talk ep. In this installment, which was recorded LIVE at Ourisman Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Alexandria, Va., the hosts — and their raucous crowd — cover the NFL's new COVID policies, a note on Terry McLaurin's contract, the best competitions that'll occur at camp, and, because why the hell not, Aaron Rodgers. After ALL that concludes, you'll get JP's 1-on-1 interview with Jaret Patterson, an undrafted running back who you will immediately begin rooting for after hearing his him talk about what it'll meant to suit up in Burgundy and Gold. If you like podcasts where Mitch re-litigates the Kirk Cousins debacle (just kidding, no one likes that) and there's a large discussion on what everyone would do if WFT won a Super Bowl, 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 are back to their usual format — just the three of them riffing, yelling and yelling more — in this Washington Football Talk, which starts with them reacting to their interview with Washington president Jason Wright. 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. By the end of it, the hosts all clarify their stance on the QB and his 2021 outlook. From there, JP has Pete and Mitch recap their two weekends, as both guys experienced some highs and lows at the beach. If you like podcasts where JP does his best lawyer-in-the-courtroom impression and there's some doubt about the legitimacy of Mitch's most recent golf exploits, then this is the episode for you. Also, come to Ourisman Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram on July 22nd at 5 p.m. for our PRE-CAMP LIVE POD. Thanks.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This is PART TWO of Washington Football Talk's interview with Washington president Jason Wright, and this time, Wright and JP Finlay are joined by Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey for a chat that covers the franchise's plans about improving its current stadium as well as planning its new one, the absurd pressure Wright is facing in his role and much more. And if you missed PART ONE of Wright's stint on the pod, well, go fix that.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This is PART ONE of Washington Football Talk's interview with Washington president Jason Wright, and in it, you'll hear Wright and JP Finlay discuss many pertinent topics, including: How this gig has made him "less naive," why he eliminated Warriors from the name search (despite it being his personal favorite at one time), whether finding a name option that begins with 'R' is important to him and what he thought of the franchise's punishment stemming from the Wilkinson report. PART TWO of the interview will drop in a few days. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.

In this edition of your favorite Washington Football Team-focused show, JP Finlay and Mitch Tischler catch up with Moises Linares, a bilingual broadcaster who covers the Burgundy and Gold and serves as their Spanish language play-by-play man. 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. In short, the hosts are flummoxed in a lot of ways. Listen to them here. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey watched (most) of Washington's roster get after it in the first OTAs session of 2021, and now they're here to report on it. 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. If you like podcasts where Mitch does an unreal job, even for him, of finding the bright spot in a not-exactly-bright situation, 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.

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. He also engages in multiple poop back-and-forths, as is standard for one of his appearances. If you like podcasts where Nick Sundberg goes in-depth on his indoor soccer skills and also explains a subtle yet beautiful pregame tradition that he started in Washington, 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 took in Washington's rookie minicamp over the past few days, and now they're here to pass on everything they learned. 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. If you like podcasts where there's some deep analysis about a red line that was on the field and there's also a debate about whether Mitch's "notes" that he stores in his head are really notes, 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.

You've known Washington's opponents, but now you know their ENTIRE 2021 schedule, and JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to take you through it all in this edition of their program. That said, before doing that, the guys give a quick take on the team signing new left tackle Charles Leno, but then it's schedule time. Each host outlines their main takeaway from Washington's slate of opponents and from there, week by week, JP, Mitch and Pete assess every matchup and deliver their predictions for each result. 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.

This Washington Football Talk begins with JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey each giving a prediction about the Burgundy and Gold's schedule — the full thing will be released this Wednesday — before tossing to the first of two interviews in this installment, which features the legendary Mike Tirico. While talking with Tirico, the guys get his thoughts on where Washington is going and how they fit into the NFC East, why he's confident that Ryan Fitzpatrick can get it done under center, what he made of Chase Young as a rookie and a few other topics. They also have Tirico preview the upcoming Preakness as well as his role in the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. After that, you'll get the trio's interview with Brian Hall. Who's Brian Hall, you ask? Oh, just the guy who sat in Roger Goodell's recliner on the first night of the NFL Draft. You'll enjoy Brian's recounting of that experience. If you like podcasts where Mitch asks Mike Tirico a truly hard-hitting, drinks-related question and you get an exclusive review of the commissioner's furniture, 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.

Though the draft is over, there's still more to discuss about it, which is how this Washington Football Talk with JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey begins. JP opens up by tying up some loose ends, Pete brings you up to speed on the lone undrafted free agent the club signed, and then the trio looks at a hypothetical trade for Aaron Rodgers as well as the biggest winners and losers on Washington's roster as it relates to the draft. 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. If you like podcasts where Pete saves the show from veering into First Take territory and you already get some early analysis on who will and won't make the 2021 roster, then this is the episode for you.

This is the final pod of the draft. I'm too exhausted to type a funny summary. Just listen to this. You'll love it. -PeteSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have the first of three Washington Football Talks for you over draft weekend, and it's focused mostly on first-round pick Jamin Davis. After giving their quick take on Davis' arrival, the guys toss to JP's 1-on-1 with him, where you get an excellent of sense of who he is right off the bat. Once that ends, the trio discusses Davis further, the other players Washington considered, how much the team pondered moving up for a QB and, yes, Aaron Rodgers. Mitch also gives an update on his Twitter-less life, which has a funny new twist. If you like podcasts where you get to hear from a brand new Burgundy and Gold defender moments after his dream came true, then this is the episode for you. Also, Pete's miserable with his cat again. Keep him in your thoughts. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A very energetic JP Finlay, a in-California Mitch Tischler and a regular Pete Hailey have their last pre-draft Washington Football Talk for you, and you'll come out of it ready for the NFL's marquee offseason event. 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.

JP Finlay and Pete Hailey open up this Washington Football Talk for you, and the pair mostly focuses on Alex Smith's new comments that are fairly harsh about his last season with the Burgundy and Gold. How much do they care? Then, JP and Pete each rant more about the name debacle and also give their one-week-away draft prediction for what happens with the franchise they so closely cover. Once the two hosts finish up, they toss to theirs and Mitch Tischler's interview with the very-respected NFL Network analyst Steve Wyche. During his time on the program, Wyche explains where he thinks Washington could try to move up to in order to draft a QB, how he thinks the club stacks up to the rest of their NFC East rivals and how Ron Rivera is changing the organization. If you like podcasts where Pete asks a very esteemed guest a question that makes JP and Mitch mad, 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 were planning to do a quick intro before getting to an interview in this Washington Football Talk — and then Alex Smith retired. So, the guys react to Smith's departure from the sport he's been involved with since 2005, and then they toss to their interview, which features the very knowledgable Dan Hellie. During his time on the show, Hellie analyzes Trey Lance's fit with the organization and ranks some of the second-tier QBs in the draft, and he also launches a compelling Kyle Allen discussion (who knew such a thing existed?). If you like podcasts where Pete gives a depressing update on his cat situation and Mitch goes on a mini-rant that leads to many bleeps, 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, along with thousands of adoring fans, showed up at an Ourisman dealership in Alexandria for this LIVE PODCAST, which was a TON of fun. 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. If you like podcasts where a fan very nicely compliments Pete's haircut and JP drops a word that causes the entire Ourisman dealership to go silent, 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 start off this Washington Football Talk by once more analyzing all the trade-up talk that's currently enveloping the Burgundy and Gold. 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 Pete makes a comment that gets assailed by his co-hosts but then comes back strong with an appropriate analogy that is widely approved of and where JP name drops all of the stud QBs he saw in Augusta, 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.

An in-the-car JP Finlay and an in-their-homes Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey got together for this Washington Football Talk, which begins with JP explaining the very cool reason he is in a motor vehicle. From there, the three dive deep into the idea of Washington trading up to snag Atlanta's fourth overall pick, which involves the hosts picking sides between Trey Lance and Justin Fields and deciding how likely such an act is. After that, you'll hear JP, Mitch and Pete's fun conversation with William Jackson III, who explains the difference between confidence and swagger and gives a lot of other great answers during the chat. Then, to close, the trio gets weirdly into discussing how they like to hold the steering wheel when driving. If you like podcasts where you get free Masters picks and you learn yet another way in which Mitch is irking Pete, 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.

This Washington Football Talk contains no fluff and no filler, as you basically get dropped right into JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey's interview with the franchise's new quarterback, Ryan Fitzpatrick. The chat with Fitz is a really fun one, as it's filled with both serious topics and segments on his beard and how much his phone is blowing up these days. If you like podcasts where an already very likable QB becomes even more likable, 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.

Ron Rivera spoke to the media on Thursday, so of course JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to speak to you about Ron Rivera speaking to the media. So, they open this Washington Football Talk by discussing their biggest takeaways from the coach's press conference and also wonder what he didn't say. After covering that from top to bottom, they then toss to a really fun interview with Adam Humphries, where the trio asks the new receiver about what makes him such a quarterback-friendly target and also guesses how good he is at golf. If you like podcasts where Mitch gets offended over the idea that he sometimes fakes enthusiasm and where Pete's haircut is compared to Humphries' haircut, 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 convened for this Sunday edition of Washington Football Talk, and they kick the show off by discussing the Adam Humphries signing. That then leads into a comparison between this current group of wideouts and the 2016 roster, which featured DeSean, Pierre and Jamison Crowder. After that, the guys also quickly talk about the signing of Darryl Roberts, the draft trades that went down last Friday and the fantasy baseball league they're doing together. 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.

The Washington Football Talk crew is back, and this time, they aren't talking any on-field stuff. 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. If you like podcasts where you learn about JP and Mitch's Boston Market go-tos back in the day and Pete's lack of political knowledge is once again exposed, 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.

Not one, not two, but three-straight EMERGENCY PODS have now occurred, as JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey gathered around yet again, this time to react to Washington landing Curtis Samuel. 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. If you like podcasts where Mitch has a spot-on comparison for Samuel but then later gets testy with JP over a stupid argument that only this show would care about, 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.

Another night, another EMERGENCY POD. This one is devoted to Washington's reported signing of corner William Jackson III, a move that JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey all roundly approve of. If you like podcasts where you get the most inaccurate analysis ever of where WFT is with their salary cap and Mitch comes up with a new term for the tampering period, 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.

Ryan Fitzpatrick reportedly agreed to terms with the Washington Football Team late Monday/early Tuesday. This is the EMERGENCY POD reacting to that news.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to look ahead to one of the best weeks on the NFL calendar: Free agency. In this Washington Football Talk, the guys answer pressing free agency questions such as, "Will the team sign a QB?" "Will they hand out a contract that tops $80 million?" and "What under-the-radar name is worth keeping an eye on?" They also go through JP's Twitter to find a few more inquiries to kick around. If you like podcasts where Pete's chicken tenders get poor reviews and Mitch gets mad at JP for not knowing what a prism is, then this is the episode for you. And be sure to stick with us these next few months, because things are about to get real fun.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The primary topic for this Washington Football Talk is Brandon Scherff and his new franchise tag. 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. Is the $18 million that the Burgundy and Gold is set to pay Scherff prohibitive or just the price of doing business? What are the chances of a long-term agreement? And how much does Mitch love that an O-lineman is at the center of the show? You'll get all those answers and more, as well as some Dak Prescott analysis and a random Ronald Darby segment. If you like podcasts where Mitch and Pete discuss birds and JP zings Pete about being so coddled (for the 145th time), 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.

Nothing too, too pressing has happened as of late with the Burgundy and Gold, so JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey used this edition of Washington Football Talk to run down a list of storylines that will no doubt interest you. To begin, the three look at the team's cap situation, as well as what other teams will have to do in order to be compliant with the cap, in a free agency lookahead. After that, the guys touch on Kyle Trask potentially making it to the club in the second round of the draft, Chris Cooley's thoughts on a possible Trent Williams reunion and Terry McLaurin's toughness. They then close with JP making one hell of an Ashburn Syndrome-y statement and a recap of the 20 Questions segment they did on JP's radio show. If you like podcasts where you learn about one host's feet and get some hurricane analogies, 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 first half of this Washington Football Talk is centered on Alex Smith, who's expected to be released by the Burgundy and Gold soon. So, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey react to that news, do their best to grade the 2018 trade that brought Smith to the franchise and then assess how they're feeling about the QB room's future moving forward. Then, once the Smith stuff wraps, the trio recaps what was an unbelievable poker weekend for Mitch and JP, and especially JP. You're going to want to hear about the run he went on on Saturday night (and how Pete repeatedly got stonewalled by Rob Gronkowski). If you like podcasts where Pete's fear of the ocean is exposed and there's some random reminiscing on some of the guys' favorite road trips from the past few years, 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 recorded this Washington Football Talk from Ourisman Fairfax of Toyota, which is just a lovely place to record a show and also buy some cars. During this installment, you'll hear the three of them go through the latest on Alex Smith's GQ comments, Washington's lack of interest in Cam Newton, what to make of Russell Wilson's dilemma and more. Then, they allow members of the massive crowd at the dealership to ask questions, which range from draft needs at pick No. 19 to Jeff Bezos' possible involvement with the franchise. If you like podcasts where Pete broaches the idea of buying not one but two cars and there is an excessive amount of timestamping, 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.

This Washington Football Talk show mainly deals with the first-ever QBX Draft, an event that's both fun and chaotic. JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey welcome on fellow co-workers Ryan Homler and Ethan Cadeaux, and the five of them go through a three-round draft where they each try to come up with the best collection of signal callers possible but also stay within their budgets. The best part? Everyone is available to choose from, including superstars, random vets and draft picks. Once that wraps up, and JP Kiper grades each host's haul, the guys toss to yet another awesome interview featuring Brian Mitchell. This time, B-Mitch talks to Washington GM Martin Mayhew and the two reminisce about the massive impact Bobby Mitchell had on their lives and Mayhew's career in particular. If you like podcasts where JP, Mitch and Pete realize they've been mispronouncing both Ryan and Ethan's last names for quite some time and there's a weird Mike Vanderjagt side conversation, 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 are back again and they're here to rant about how much they hate computer passwords. That's true, too — but before they get to that, they begin with some more "Tesla talk" and, more importantly, a serious look at Marcus Mariota. The hosts weigh him versus Derek Carr and debate whether he'd be worth taking a flier on or not. Once they finish up that segment on the current Raider, JP brings up a story he wrote about Alex Smith and Kyle Allen, which leads into a chat about why they all feel that Smith's days in D.C. are numbered, though there's a disagreement on how many days remain for him with the franchise. Lastly, they finish up their portion of the show with a round of FUs, which includes the aforementioned password complaining as well as a few other issues you'll relate to. And to close, they toss to a really good interview that Brian Mitchell got with Washington team president Jason Wright, where Wright explains who and what shaped him into the person he is now and how he hopes to act as a role model for the Black community in the future. If you like podcasts where Mitch sings some "Frozen" and there's a touching moment between Pete and JP, 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.

It's a holiday, but the Washington Football Talk podcast doesn't know what holidays are, so JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey got together on Zoom to record another edition of their show. To start, the guys react to Chris Polian's addition to the front office. After that, they each give three bold predictions about how Washington's offseason will unfold, ranging from what signings they'll make in free agency to which QB they'll take in the draft. And because they can't ever stick to script, they then keep giving bonus predictions on top of their original ones and weirdly end up debating whether they'll ever be back in a locker room again. Then, to close, they toss to their interview with Taylor Heinicke, who offers up insight on his mindset, his appreciation for Scott Turner and how he's waiting for Heineken to give him a call. If you like podcasts where JP yells at Mitch for fake enthusiasm and Pete debates whether he should buy a car, 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.

Washington made a move at quarterback today, and JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are contractually obligated (basically) to record a Washington Football Talk whenever that happens. So, the three hosts got together to react to Taylor Heinicke's extension with the Burgundy and Gold. During the show, you'll hear them explain what it means for Heinicke, Kyle Allen and Alex Smith, as well as other potential additions, before placing 100 chips on how the rest of Taylor's career will look. JP also elaborates on an important contract note. They also-also run through about 15 different food analogies/metaphors to describe and discuss the aspects of the team's situation under center. If you like podcasts where there's a random break to discuss a Wizards-Raptors bet and JP really develops his Bag of Tostitos Theory, 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.

For those feeling sad that the NFL season is over — which should be all of you — this Washington Football Talk should help you out a bit. After JP Finlay updates Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey on how his new radio gig is going, the three of them decide that Washington fans shouldn't be too excited that their team hung with the now-Super Bowl champs on Wild Card Weekend and otherwise recap Bucs-Chiefs, which gives Mitch the opportunity to angrily rant on something that likely he only noticed and cares about. Once they move past the Super Bowl, the trio goes back-and-forth on Sam Darnold's potential fit in Washington and how much they'd give up to get him, a segment that leads to more QB analysis and names like Jimmy Garoppolo and Carson Wentz being tossed about. Lastly, they finalize the winner of their sad little betting pool before moving on to a pair of interviews they snagged last week with Joe Theismann and Antonio Gibson. Theismann's thoughts on Washington's hunt for a QB, and why he wouldn't go crazy to get Deshaun Watson, are compelling as usual while Gibson looking back on his rookie year (and one celebration he probably won't be doing anymore) is entertaining as well. If you like podcasts where Mitch rightly brings up the law of syllogism but wrongly loses his mind over a broadcast item that the world loves, 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.

Wednesday was a big day for the Washington Football Team, which means it was a big day for the Washington Football Talk hosts. After Ron Rivera and the franchise introduced Martin Mayhew and Marty Hurney to the media, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey hopped on Zoom to break it all down. As they do, you'll get their thoughts on the executives' comments about QB, how they'll collaborate with Rivera and their overall impressions on Mayew and Hurney. Also, in the midst of all that, you'll hear JP's 1-on-1 with Rivera, where the coach explains how much more he'll be able to focus on coaching thanks to the new structure as well as how the two additions' roles will differ. Eventualllllllly, after some more back-and-forths between the trio about signal callers and how necessary it is that Washington finds its answer this offseason, they each give their Super Bowl picks for their very sad betting pool before things close out with Pete asking JP and Mitch how much they know about the Weeknd. If you like podcasts where Ron Rivera goes at JP repeatedly for wearing a tie to a Zoom presser and there's way too much time devoted to which hitter recorded the most strikeouts in MLB history, then this is the episode for you.

Matt Stafford is... not a Washington Football Teamer. So, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey gathered to quickly react to that trade that sent Stafford to LA and, again, not to DC. Where does the franchise go from here and is there any consolation to at least knowing they were somewhat in the race for the passer? Those discussions, and more, take place in this half bonus, half emergency installment. If you like podcasts where JP completely makes up a factoid about Babe Ruth and Pete's flaws as a boat captain are revealed, 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 some brief announcements, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey get right back into evaluating Washington's punting situation. Just kidding, Tress Way owns that spot. Of course, they truly get right back into evaluating Washington's QB situation now that Deshaun Watson is officially on the trade block. In light of that, JP, Mitch and Pete each present their BEST offers for Houston's star, and then do the same for Matt Stafford and the Lions. You can be the judge of which deals are doable and which are dumb. Once they complete that segment, they each identify a signal caller that they believe isn't being talked about enough and they wouldn't mind seeing end up in Burgundy and Gold. Those answers range from a very bland name to one extremely polarizing one. From there, they say goodbye and you get Washington Football Talk's interview with the franchise's new, full-time assistant running backs coach Jennifer King, who discusses her impressive journey to where she is today, and then, you'll hear a long chat JP had with Ron Rivera that goes in depth on Rivera's cancer battle. You'll surely appreciate both. If you like podcasts where you get a preview of JP's family ski trip, 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.
