'All Things Covered' with Patrick Peterson & Bryant McFadden' debuts on Tuesday, September 22nd with special guest Tyrann Mathieu. Download and subscribe now to get the first episode in your feed as soon as it is released! Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden have made a living for their coverage skills on the football field, and while it's a different technique, they're now applying those traits on their new podcast 'All Things Covered'. Instead of wide receivers, tight ends and running backs, they'll be covering sports, entertainment, social issues, personal interests and more. Every Tuesday, the 8-time Pro Bowler Peterson and 2-time Super Bowl champion McFadden will discuss what's happening on the gridiron as well as what intrigues them off the field. Each week they'll welcome a star from the sports and entertainment world to have wide-ranging conversations about what interests them. Guests can include active or former football players but also athletes and influencers from other sports and walks of life. Football is how we know our hosts, but far from what defines Pat and BMac. The name says everything; expect all things to be covered!

Can you trust Lance McCullers? Who should you add between Randy Dobnak and Tyler Mahle? ... We also have single-start streamers, headlined by Cristian Javier (33:24). Framber Valdez, Brandon Bielak, and Anthony DeSclafani are some other names to look at. ... So apparently Ryan Pressly stinks (37:21). Who is next up for the Astros? ... We've got hitter notes from Thursday (42:11)! Jose Ramirez is back. What should you do with Marcus Semien? Put some respect on Cesar Hernandez and Isiah Kiner Falefa! ...
