Beltway Football

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.

JP Finlay decided that this Washington Football Talk should be called the QBX MANIA edition, and for good reason. He, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey got together to talk about Matt Stafford's addition to the list of passers Washington could very well land, and at other portions of the show, they bring up names like Deshaun Watson, Aaron Rodgers and Tua Tagovailoa. As for Stafford, the hosts also dive in to what they'd give up to acquire the Lions star. Once the chatter about signal callers ends, JP, Mitch and Pete review what they saw over Conference Championship weekend as well as their awful gambling picks, a segment that includes JP making a maddening plea. Then, to close, they break out their 100 Chips and sprinkle them all over the various QB options the franchise could go for.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey begin this Washington Football Talk by analyzing the now-clearer front office situation, as Martin Mayhew is the GM and Marty Hurney is in the fold as well. During the opening portion, the hosts explain possible reasons for the shuffling of roles and cover other important takeaways from these two moves. Once that's done with, they turn their attention to QB — something they'll be doing a lot of in the coming months — and each explain what kind of passer they think Washington must add. There are a lot of disagreements (and a lot of comparing signal callers to cars) in that stretch, and even some chatter about if they'd deal Chase Young to land Deshaun Watson. Then, to close, they book their bets for the upcoming Championship games. If you like podcasts where Rihanna gets name-dropped in bizarre fashion and Mitch struggles to explain a meme and ends up totally whiffing, 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.

While the Marty Hurney news wasn't official when this Washington Football Talk was recorded, all signs pointed to him becoming the new general manager of the club, so JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey convened to give their thoughts. As they cover the story from all angles, you'll hear JP try to calm doubters of the move down somewhat, a recap of Hurney's biggest transactions in Carolina and an overall reaction to the decision. There is also plenty of Kyle Smith mentions. Once they feel like they properly hit that topic, they proceed onward to quick segments on Curtis Samuel and Bruce Arians before transitioning into another round of FUs. And to close, you'll get their interview with the legendary John Riggins, who touches on Alex Smith's future and what he'd do under center in 2021. If you like podcasts where Pete does Kevin Malone and Jay Gruden impressions back-to-back and JP unleashes his fury about his family's new bench, 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 Team's offseason has begun, but the Washington Football Talk podcast never takes a break. So, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here once more, and they begin by diving into the franchise's search for a GM. In that convo, JP also explains why he feels there's some Ashburn Syndrome with Kyle Smith. Once that wraps, the trio moves on to quarterback, wondering if Alex Smith will return or retire, how Taylor Heinicke fits into the equation and why, if at all possible, the team should be in on the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes. From there, Pete reviews how he was run over by Brian Mitchell recently (and then gets salty) and then JP gets in on the FU fun before the guys give out one pick for each of this weekend's playoff games. If you like podcasts where Pete makes a very basic revelation and the possibility of Reverse Ashburn Syndrome is discovered, 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 end of the season is here, but damn, it was a memorable one. For the last time for a while, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are coming at you from the FedEx Field parking lot to break down a Washington game, this one their playoff loss to the Bucs. For many, it'll be known as the Taylor Heinicke Night, and that's where the hosts begin. What did they make of his performance and where does he fit going forward? That second question especially leads to some interesting discussions. After that, there's chatter about how the defense handled itself vs. Tom Brady, criticism about the number of drops and a brief look at the top three offseason priorities. And to close, JP, Mitch and Pete run through one final set of Over/Unders, 100 Chips and Game Balls and Goats before trying to put a bow on a wild campaign. If you like podcasts where Mitch tries to be Mr. Shtick instead of Pete and JP ends things with a magnificent monologue about roller coasters, then this is the episode for you. And thank you for following along all year. Don't worry: The momentum will still be real all offseason long.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to the first Washington Football Talk playoff preview installment in history. It feels good to be here. To begin, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey run through the team's current QB situation as well as the injuries that Antonio Gibson, Terry McLaurin, Brandon Scherff and Kendall Fuller are dealing with. Then, they toss to an excellent, fiery interview with Rodney Harrison, who outlines how the defense can get to his ex-teammate, Tom Brady, and reveals his very high opinion of Gibson. After that, you'll get JP's 1-on-1 with Ryan Kerrigan, who's a perfect person to chat with about what this Saturday means to the franchise. Once those two wrap, the three hosts return to go through Over/Unders, 100 Chips and their predictions, before they close with some FUs. If you like podcasts where Mitch's WiFi AND JP's WiFi battle it out for worst on the show and there's A POSTSEASON CONTEST TO EVALUATE, 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.

Was it pretty? Nope. Does it matter? Also nope. The Washington Football Team is playoff bound, and JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to celebrate with you. THE PLAYOFFS. The hosts discuss that achievement, praise the defense and reflect on how crazy this year has been. Yes, they also address Doug Pederson basically giving Ron Rivera's club the dub, but that's secondary to all the good vibes. Also in the show, you'll hear Mitch rant about Tom Brady's upcoming trip to Landover and Pete accidentally spill a hypothetical beer. And in the end — and you gotta work to get there — hopefully you'll realize how rare these kinds of things are. If you like podcasts when Washington's current rebuild gets compared to buying a beachfront property and JP just NAILS his opening, then this is the episode for you. (Also, at the end-end, JP interviews Chase Young. That interview was recorded before Week 17, but there's still plenty to digest from the star defensive end.)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 seriously hope this isn't their last preview installment of the season. To start it off, the guys go through the injury updates you care about most, while also touching on how the Eagles are looking healthwise before Sunday's meeting. From there, they run through their pregame segments, where Mitch goes nuts in 100 Chips, there's a lot of Antonio Gibson hype in Over/Unders, and everyone ends up predicting a victory. Yup. After those all wrap, there's time for some shtick, as Pete has JP and Mitch try to guess the movie he was watching before the mics turned on and then the trio hands out some FUs. If you like podcasts where JP is afraid that the heater beneath his feet could malfunction at any second and each host does their best Chase Young impression, 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 summary won't take long. Dwayne Haskins got released on Monday and you want to get analysis on the move, why it was made and what happens next for him. That's precisely what this Emergency Pod does, so fire it up. (When that all wraps, you'll also get a 1-on-1 with Ron Rivera that was recorded BEFORE the release of Haskins but is still worthy of your time.) If you like podcasts where JP Finlay battles with some sunlight and he, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey all list their defining moment of Dwayne's career 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.

This could've been a division-winning edition of Washington Football Talk. Key word: could've. Instead, thanks to a very uninspiring outing from Dwayne Haskins and a few others, the Burgundy and Gold fell to the Panthers in Week 16, and JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have many thoughts about the loss. They, clearly, begin with Dwayne, and discuss if he was pulled at the right time, if he's now truly done in DC and what to make of his press conference drama. They then look ahead to Week 17 and wonder who the hell will be starting for this team in Philly. After more frustration, and then more frustration, the hosts go through Game Balls and Goats, Over/Unders and 100 Chips. And to close, you'll hear Chase Young's interview with NBC Sports Washington's postgame crew, which, as usual, is worth listening to. If you like podcasts where the Football Team is compared to a window and Pete gets furious with the birds who are pooping on his 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.

This Washington Football Talk begins with JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey discussing a topic they NEVER could've imagined: the team's starting QB being punished for partying mask-less with strippers. The trio describe their initial reaction to the Haskins news, run through other examples of Dwayne's immaturity coming to the forefront and wonder where the franchise goes from here. They also give their opinion on how Ron Rivera handled the situation, which includes thoughts on his testy Wednesday presser. Eventually, they're able to move on to Alex Smith's health (yep, that's important too!) before turning their attention to a POTENTIALLY-CLINCHING WIN this Sunday with 100 Chips, Over/Unders and more. Lastly, JP serves as the mediator in an issue involving Mitch and Pete before they toss to an interview with — get this — Maury Povich. As in, THE Maury. Make sure you get through all of the above topics and listen to this, because Maury, who's been a fan of Washington for decades, was incredible. If you like podcasts where Mitch somewhat quotes Mark Twain and Maury tells the guys he wants to golf with them, 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 here to break down Washington's loss to the Seahawks. What is their primary takeaway from the contest and are they coming away from it more encouraged or less encouraged about this team? From there, they do their best to evaluate Dwayne Haskins' performance, which was at times quite disappointing and at others somewhat promising. At some point, you'll also get an explanation from Mitch about those sweet camera shots that everyone was talking about. To close, it's time for Game Balls and Goats, Over/Unders and 100 Chips, and Mitch particularly enjoys the last two segments. If you like podcasts where JP very casually ruins the allure of Santa Claus (don't listen to this episode with your young children around) and Pete's intense gambling struggles are brought up, 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.

There's a starting QB mystery, and JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey dive into it to start this Washington Football Talk. After hearing from Ron Rivera, Scott Turner and Alex Smith on Wednesday, the three hosts each give their educated guess as to who'll start this weekend against the Seahawks. Well, JP sort of guesses and sort of doesn't. Then, they toss to JP's interview with NBC Sports Northwest's Joe Fann, a Seattle insider who's the ideal guest to talk to ahead of Sunday's major matchup. After that, JP, Mitch and Pete welcome on radio star Peter Rosenberg, who reps the Burgundy and Gold despite working in New York. While on, the very energetic Rosenberg gives his thoughts on perhaps bringing Sam Darnold to DC as well as how his opinion of Ron has changed in 2020. Lastly, your three regular hosts return to go through over/unders and 100 Chips, as well as another round of FUs. If you like podcasts where JP reveals that he had to take a bullet for another media member on Wednesday and Pete goes off because of a shipping catastrophe, then this is the episode for you.

Any time a Washington Football Talk begins with a strong rant from JP Finlay about success, you know things are going right and that's precisely what happens on this one. Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey then join to reflect on everything from Washington's Week 14 win over the Niners, including the DOMINANT DEFENSE, Chase Freakin' Young, the QB drama and much, much more. They also look into the far future and wonder just how well Ron Rivera is setting this franchise up for many more victories. There's even more talking from there (this one is full of positive chatter, because winning rules) before the trio wraps up with their usual postgame stuff, where Pete really rakes it in. If you like podcasts where there are legit chants about wanting to face Tom Brady in the playoffs and so much praise for the defense, 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.

While there isn't any hypothetical bourbon in this Washington Football Talk, there is plenty of real content. To begin, you'll get JP Finlay's interview with Ron Rivera that happened on Tuesday after the Pittsburgh dub. While that game is now in the past, hearing Ron review it is still very worth it. Then, JP brings on Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey to analyze Antonio Gibson's health/the running back situation, Washington's new QB, where Kyle Smith stands in the organization and if there's any worry about a letdown this weekend against the Niners. That leads the trio into their usual preview segments before they pass it off to JP's chat with NBC Sports Bay Area Insider Matt Maiocco, who updates you on what's happening with the San Fran, Trent Williams and Jordan Reed. Then, to close, there's another round of FUs. If you like podcasts where Mitch gets desperate in 100 Chips and JP overshares about his various fantasy teams, 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, Pete Hailey and BRIAN MITCHELL are here to celebrate, talk about and celebrate some more after Washington's best victory in YEARS. Things begin with a fiery open from JP and they continue from there, as the four discuss how many players stepped up, praise Ron Rivera and discuss how HUGE of a victory this one really was. Eventually — like, eventually — they make it to their Game Balls and Goats, 100 Chips and What Makes You Smile segments, segments that also include discussions about the fresh white-on-white uniforms and some B-Mitch stories about a young Scott Turner. They also chatted about a bunch of other stuff, because winning is fun and it's fun to bask in! If you like podcasts where there's a crazy comparison that involves Cardi B and Scott Turner, and B-Mitch just completely disrespects how things work on the show, then this is the episode for you. LISTEN TO THIS ONE TWICE, GUYS, IT'S A LIT ONE.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 anxiously waiting Washington's game in Pittsburgh just like you, and this edition of Washington Football Talk should help tide you over until the matchup gets here. To begin, the three hosts preview the Steelers tilt, running through 100 Chips and Over/Unders while discussing if the Burgundy and Gold can remain on their current hot streak. Once they wrap, the boys find the nearest closet for a very engaging interview with ex-Steeler Ike Taylor. The DB who played in Pittsburgh for more than a decade shares top-notch insight on how Washington can try to fool Big Ben and what makes that organization so great. Then, to close you'll get JP's one-on-one with Kamren Curl, where the safety talks about going from a 7th round pick to starting in a matter of months and having to win over his family members who are Cowboys fans. If you like podcasts where FUs make their triumphant return and Taylor tells an incredible story about listening to music while he played, 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.

Well, well, well, with the calendar about to turn to December, Washington has a legit playoff sweat, which is largely the focus of this Washington Football Talk. First, you'll get JP Finlay's one-on-one with Ron Rivera, where the head coach reflects on how meaningful the Dallas win was before saying why he's not looking at the NFC East standings just yet. Once Rivera is done, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey hop on to evaluate Washington's final five contests and where Alex Smith fits in with this franchise long term. And lastly, you'll hear JP catch up with Gabe Taylor, Sean's younger brother. With the anniversary of Sean's death just recently happening, it's a very important interview to listen to. If you like podcasts where the guys give their ideal NFL bubble spots and Pete's is the weirdest of the three, 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.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to give you a massive helping of the Washington Football Talk podcast after one of the best wins for the Burgundy and Gold in recent memory. OH, SORRY, ONE SEC, ANTONIO GIBSON JUST SCORED ANOTHER TD. OK, back to the summary. The guys recap everything from the Thanksgiving Thrashing, shouting out all the main heroes and smaller-name heroes who brought the goods to AT&T Stadium. They also go through the incredible play calling by Scott Turner, the calm leadership from Alex Smith and then run through their postgame segments that everyone knows and loves. OH, WAIT, DALLAS JUST TRIED TO DO SOMETHING ELSE STUPID AND IT FAILED. If you like podcasts where there is way too much singing and talk about hosting the playoffs in January, then this is the podcast for you. Soak this all up people, what a damn win.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 prefer victory podcasts over losing podcasts, so they're happy to bring you this edition of Washington Football Talk. From the FedExField parking lot, the hosts recap the win over the Bengals, as they try to figure out how excited to be about it. They also discuss Joe Burrow's unfortunate injury, Chase Young's bounceback effort, Terry McLaurin doing Terry McLaurin things and more. To close, they hit their classic segments, where they hand out plenty of game balls, touch on JP's massive lead in 100 Chips and explain What Made Them Smile on Sunday. If you like podcasts where Mitch gets heated about Derek Jeter and Pete reveals how he saved JP's afternoon, 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.

Hope you're ready for this one, Washington Football Talk listeners, because it's a doozy. Before getting into a bunch of quality discussions, JP Finlay begins by losing his bleeping mind over his Zoom situation in what can only be labeled as an explosion. Once he cools off (sort of), you'll hear his 1-on-1 with Ron Rivera from earlier in the week. Then, he, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey look at Washington's dicey left tackle situation, wonder what the perfect amount of attempts for Alex Smith is, go back and forth on why Thomas Davis isn't playing and give their thoughts on the team rolling with Dustin Hopkins for at least a little longer. Next, the trio goes through their 100 Chips and Over/Under segments as they turn their attention to the Bengals game, toss to a really, really fun interview they did with Cam Sims and close by giving their scouting report on the Wizards' first-round pick from Wednesday's NBA Draft. If you like podcasts where you learn about how polite Cam Sims is and Pete's latest presser struggles are documented, 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 podcast by coming up with one word to describe the team that's at the center of their show, and the words aren't positive. They shouldn't be, either, considering how down and up and DOWN they were in their game against the Lions. After that opening segment, they review other parts about Sunday's loss, including Alex Smith's day, Chase Young's back-breaking penalty, that bizarre second-and-2 play call and Dustin Hopkins' struggles. Once those wrap up, they run through their usual Game Balls and Goats, Over/Unders and 100 Chips to conclude. During that stretch, one host gets to punch another, which you'll hear. If you like podcasts where JP comes up with a promising roller coaster bit idea and then soon kills it and Mitch tells a random John Ross story in the final minute, 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 is gonna be quite informative and enjoyable for ya. To start, you'll get JP Finlay's 1-on-1 with Morgan Moses, where the O-lineman discusses how the franchise's vibe has changed under Ron Rivera and what it's like inhabiting Trent Williams' locker. Then, JP, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey catch up with Chris Simms, who has lots of thoughts on Dwayne Haskins as well as one QB prospect that he's already crazy about. Once those finish, you'll get the trio's live pod from the Ourisman dealership in Alexandria, where they're joined by new friend Martha, who's an encyclopedia of Burgundy and Gold knowledge. In that final piece of the show, the typical preview segments take place ahead of the Lions matchup, as well as some chatter about Steven Montez. If you like podcasts where Mitch tells a funny tale about an old English teacher and one beloved listener reveals a dream he had involving Mitch and JP, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to hopefully bring you a quality podcast about a not-so-quality football team. The three hosts begin this Washington Football Talk by admitting that they are all still infected with Ashburn Syndrome before reacting to yet another major QB injury. How many times will that happen to this organization? From there, they dive deeper into the Burgundy and Gold's latest disappointing loss, doing segments on how the defense didn't step up and whether rolling with Alex Smith over Dwayne Haskins is the right call for now. Eventually, they close with their usual hallmarks, including Game Balls and Goats, 100 Chips, Over/Unders and What Made You Smile. If you like podcasts where Mitch makes maybe the strangest noise in history and JP, Mitch and Pete have to battle through a weird smell in the parking lot, 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 week's Washington Football Talk is a day late, but the wait is going to be worth it. Why? Oh, because JP Finlay got the chance to talk to Alex Smith for an extended amount of time AND also catch up with Dale Earnhardt Jr. NBD. First, you'll hear Smith reflect on the comeback he's made so far, talk about his new off-field cause and answer whether he wants to be the starter in 2021, in addition to discussing the NFC East race. After that, Earnhardt Jr. jumps on to give his thoughts on Dwayne Haskins and explain why he isn't necessarily all in on making the playoffs this year. Once those two stars are done, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey hop on to replace them (womp womp). Once JP, Mitch and Pete are reunited, they look ahead to this weekend's tilt with the Giants, hitting their usual preview segments. If you like podcasts where JP and Mitch are weirdly nice during the "F U" portion of the proceedings and Pete gets a bit strange in 100 chips, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are ready for the second half of the season, which begins with this new Washington Football Talk. After briefly saying hello, the guys toss to JP's 1-on-1 with Ron Rivera, who goes in depth on Ryan Kerrigan's future and why he thinks his team is due for a "crescendo." Once that ends, the hosts return to hold a long discussion regarding the trade deadline, focusing on Ryan Kerrigan, Dwayne Haskins and Ryan Anderson. They quickly discuss Eric Reid as well before looking at four stats and deciding whether they're actually encouraging or fake encouraging for Washington's final nine games, and then they close by recapping the highlights of their golf trip. If you like podcasts where Ron Rivera gives JP swing tips and Mitch crashes and burns when trying to reference a nugget about the divisional playoff race, 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.

A bye week extravaganza kicks off with JP Finlay's exclusive interview with Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio. Then JP, Pete Hailey and Mitch Tischler are joined by PointsBet oddsmaker Andy Mannino to walk through potential spreads for the rest of Washington's 2020 schedule. Then the crew expands to five with ESPN's John Keim and the Richmond Times-Dispatch's Michael Phillips joining the expert panel to predict wins and losses for the second half of the season. Bullishness after Sunday's victory over Dallas comes into play for a few on the panel and there is more discussion about a potential NFC East title. If you like Pete zingers that fall flat and throwing a sprinkle on your favorite game, 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 victory to discuss again, finally! And it was a very simple one, too. From an undisclosed location at FedEx Field, the three hosts try to decide how much about Week 7 was because Washington was on point and how much about it was because Dallas is such a disaster. They also discuss Landon Collins’ reported season-ending injury and Jon Bostic’s hit on Andy Dalton before, yes, chatting about the team’s playoff chances. The second half of the proceedings is devoted to the usual segments, and to close, you’ll hear from Terry McLaurin and Cole Holcomb, who were both guests on NBC Sports Washington’s Postgame Live show. If you like podcasts where JP gives Mitch some hair advice and Pete gets yelled at for excessive paper crinkling, 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, Pete Hailey and their new producer, Jason Murphy, are here for one last preview before the bye week, and they start off this Washington Football Talk by getting right into an exchange Ron Rivera and Pete had during Rivera's Wednesday presser. What was said and why does it matter? You'll find out soon enough. Then, the guys go back and forth on whether Washington is positioned to take advantage of Dallas' struggling offense and STRUGGLING defense this Sunday before tossing to their interview with Mina Kimes. In that interview, the ESPN football analyst compares her beloved Seahawks to Washington to figure out what the latter needs to do like the former, expresses her confusion over the QB situation in DC and then tries to cheer up the hosts she's joining because they kept getting all emo. Then, to close, JP, Mitch and Pete return to go through their 100 Chips, Over/Unders and F U segments. If you like podcasts where Mitch reveals he's getting a Cam Sims tickle and Mina helps come up with the ideal next name for 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 are fed up just like you, and they're here to talk about how fed up they are. They get right into it, too, wondering if Ron Rivera made the right call by going for two at the end of Washington's game versus the Giants, and then, they each choose a word to describe their overall mood. None of the words are positive. More conversation follows that, including a recap of Kyle Allen's day. In the second half of their show, the guys go through their usual segments, probably giving out too many Game Balls and Hat Tips in the process, and close things out with a quick thought on a tough anniversary. If you like podcasts where Mitch already beings to argue for the team to take a tackle in next year's draft and the hosts' moods matches yours, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are doing this preview pod for their second time, but it's your first time hearing it because the other one, uh, disappeared. So, listen as the guys, again, run through their thoughts on Dwayne Haskins' illness, Kyle Allen's aggressiveness and Alex Smith's current situation. After they look under center, Mitch takes you through some possible offensive line tinkering and Pete does the same for safety. Then, to close, the hosts run through a very simple Over/Under segment and a very complicated 100 Chips segment. If you like podcasts where JP labels Mitch the Fake Bet Police and Pete learns about a crucial scene in Varsity Blues, 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 torn: Should they be more amazed that Alex Smith's comeback took place at FedEx Field in Week 5 or more horrified by everything else that occurred with the Washington Football Team vs. the Rams? That's the opening topic they tackle in this latest postgame show. They also run through if Ron Rivera's proclamation that he's going to stick with Kyle Allen (as long as he's healthy) is the right call and, oh yeah, touch on the Dwayne Haskins trade rumors! Michael Phillips, who's always a welcome presence, appears halfway through to contribute his thoughts on everything. After that, they hit their typical postgame segments, which are all low on enthusiasm and high on criticism. And to close, they explain a few of Pete's latest gaffes with a few dairy-related items. If you like podcasts where JP begins things with a supremely obscure reference and Mitch just totally flubs a well-known cliche, 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 plenty to talk about. So much to talk about. The MOST to talk about. And, of course, it begins at Washington's quarterback spot. Kyle Allen is now the guy, Alex Smith is behind him and Dwayne Haskins is at the bottom of the depth chart. What did JP, Mitch and Pete make of the move, is Haskins' career in Washington over, what does this say about Ron Rivera and, overall, is it the right call? They also debate who'll have the most starts in 2020 between that QB trio, which is a very interesting topic. After that, they look ahead to Sunday's game against the Rams, wondering how many yards Allen will throw for and if he can help Washington to a much-needed win. And at the end, they run through their F U Segment (as well as a neat variation on it) and review their very fun round of golf together. If you like podcasts where Mitch can't stop talking about pigs and there's a discussion about who has the worst typos, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey gather around a (new, sturdier) table for this postgame episode from outside of FedEx Field, and they begin by making a noise that they feels best describes Washington's Week 4 loss to the Ravens. None of the noises are that inspiring. After that, they run through their evaluations of Dwayne Haskins — was this a step forward, a step backward or no step at all? — and reflect on Ron Rivera's hardest game yet. They then go through their Over/Unders, 100 Chips and What Made You Smile segments before taking a look around the garbage NFC East and closing with some shtick. If you like podcasts where JP describes the Ravens' performance by coming up with a brunch analogy and Pete discusses his painful first experience with a splinter, 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 quite the show for you here today. To begin, you'll get JP's 1-on-1 with Governor of Maryland Larry Hogan. Yes, a governor joined this podcast. JP and Gov. Hogan discuss Hogan's feelings about this weekend's meeting between Baltimore and Washington, the latest on sports betting in the state and if Hogan gets insulted when he sees the franchise so desperate to build a stadium in DC. Once Hogan says goodbye, the trio of hosts preview Sunday's matchup by going through their Over/Under and 100 Chips segments. Another interview follows that, and this one features former NFL receiver Torrey Smith, a guy who's familiar with the Ravens and who also has a terrific Sean Taylor story that you'll love. Lastly, JP, Mitch and Pete return for some heavy shtick that involves JP "gifting" clothes to Pete. If you like podcasts where Mitch angers JP with his supposed knowledge of biking and the word "frack" is used constantly, 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, but they don't waste too much time at the start of this Washington Football Talk because they want you to hear JP's newest 1-on-1 with Ron Rivera. In that interview, JP and Ron go back-and-forth about how Dwayne Haskins is performing, and Rivera brings up a very intriguing part of his past that could impact how much more time he gives his young QB. When that wraps, the trio returns to give their thoughts on what the coach told JP. Then, they move on to reacting to Matt Ioannidis' likely season-ending injury (how big of a deal is it?) as well as Chase Young's far less severe but still concerning groin issue. And, to close, they go through another segment of F Us. If you like podcasts where JP, Mitch and Pete reflect on their experience with an NBC Podcast Taskforce and JP gets upset with the Falcons, the Bears and cashiers, 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 gathered in Mitch's living room for yet another sad postgame show. The beginning bulk of it deals with Dwayne Haskins, who had a very poor outing in Cleveland. They explain why this failure felt different than last week's and even wonder if the names Kyle Allen or Alex Smith are going to become relevant at some point. Yeah, not fun. They also touch on Chase Young's injury before going through Ron Rivera's timeout usage, which again will be a topic of conversation. To wrap, they handle their What Makes You Smile, Game Balls and Goats, Over/Unders and 100 Chips segments. And at the end, you'll get Dontrelle Inman's postgame interview, which aired on NBC Sports Washington's Postgame Live. If you like podcasts where, well, there's not a ton to like about this one, but listen anyway. Thanks. Bye.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 quite a Washington Football Talk for ya. To begin, they post up at one of their Ourisman spots to discuss the latest injuries, whether there's going to be a conflict when it comes to Ron's global view of operating the franchise and the win-now nature that other coaches and players possess and why it's so difficult to figure out Dwayne's production and potential right now. Then, they toss to JP's 1-on-1 with Jon Bostic, who discusses what it's like playing with Chase Young and his blossoming real estate business. After that, the hosts return, but this time they're at MGM National Harbor, where they look ahead to the Cleveland matchup and go through their over/under and 100 Chips segments. They also make fun of one of their coworkers (and it's not Pete). If you like podcasts where Mitch's phone gets compared to the Terminator and JP gives the longest answer ever for a fan question, 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 say hello at the start of this Washington Football Talk but quickly toss to JP's riveting interview with Ron Rivera, which was recorded Monday after the Cardinals loss. In that 1-on-1, Rivera gets very, very passionate in defending how he's running the team and you'll be able to feel that passion build throughout the conversation. After that wraps, the guys return to touch on Troy Apke's struggles and whether Dwayne Haskins' play will improve. Then, to close, they bring back, for the second time, their beloved "F U" segment. If you like podcasts where Pete gets a little grumpy and then JP gets very grumpy, 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 feeling a lot different about things a week after they were feeling really good about things. To begin this Washington Football Talk ep, which comes after the disappointing loss to the Cardinals, the hosts play a fitting song (that Pete hasn't heard before) and get right into their reactions. How worried are they about the offense, how worried are they about Dwayne Haskins and how worried are they about the direction of the entire roster? They also debate Ron Rivera's field goal decision, which gets fairly complicated. To close, they run through Game Balls and Goats, go through over/unders and recap how their 100 chips were spent before closing out with a lighter segment. If you like podcasts where Mitch makes up a word then gets slammed for it and a not so tasty blame pie gets made, 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.
