FOOTBALL AMERICA! host Dave Dameshek has long had his own idiosyncratic voice and style. He’s got a unique Pittsburgh flair, not that Blue Collar Steel Town would embrace having flair. He’s also, above all, a fantastically authoritative arbiter. And so I invited Dave on to “arbit” on a range of topics including but not limited to…

* What’s America’s Mount Rushmore of regional accents?

* Which American accent would you want your hypothetical wife to have?

* We want Southern accents in pilots?

* Dave Portnoy as Michigan homer on Fox? Fair or foul?

* The problem with athlete broadcasters

* Great pro athlete, bad broadcaster?

* Moralizing sports terms like “Don’t get pass happy!”

* Domes for NFL teams, yay or nay?

* Can tiny Floyd Mayweather be the GOAT fighter if so many could kick his ass?

* Ban the tush push?

* Field goals are too easy (unless you’re Jake Moody)
