On the NFL side of things, this Sunday had some surprising upsets: Dolphins and Jets. Also, the Giants lost a rising star in Cam Skattebo.
Nick and Mikey finish the episode with a...

Today on No Warmup, Nick and Mikey break down the chaotic Chiefs vs. Lions fight and what it means for both teams. They also discuss Fred Warner’s injury and how the 49ers can’t catch a break. After the Bucs vs. 49ers game, it’s starting to look like Baker Mayfield might be the real deal. Also, with the way things are going in Jacksonville, has Liam Coen finally won us over?
On the college side, Indiana pulls...
Football. Is. Fun.
And the Giants keep reminding us of it as they rolled the Eagles convincingly. Jaxson Dart showed real moxie and earned loud public backing from Brian Daboll—apology to the team doctors and all. If “it’s too early” was our stance on starting Jaxson Dart, we’re rethinking it. Cam Skatteboo capped the night with a TD explosion.
Philly check: Jalen Hurts had time, the timing didn’t. Coordinat...
This season feels like a simulation. We start with the 4–1 Jaguars—should we rethink Trevor Lawrence and admit Liam Cohen might be great? Then the 2–3 Chiefs: fine or fronting, and what Chris Jones’ effort on the game-winner actually says. Among the 4–1 crowd, we pick the team that’s for real and the one that’s fraud.
Chaos file: the Browns trading Joe Flacco a week after benching him—only the third intra-div...
Winners: Bucs, Seahawks, the Neuheisel family, and Ohio State WRs—Emeka Egbuka is a glue-guy mentality in a rising star.
Losers: Penn State, the Harbaughs, the Jets, and yes, Mark Sanchez’s timeline.
If the NFL playoffs started today, who’s real and who’s pretending?
We open with Seahawks–Bucs (early game of the year): Tampa’s late-game DNA keeps cashing while Seattle answers every punch....
49ers upset the Rams at SoFi and everything gets messy—in a good way. Mac Jones looked terrific despite a mash unit around him. Is this a Mac stamp, a Kyle Shanahan masterclass, or a quiet Brock Purdy indictment? And what was Sean McVay doing late—why not put it in Matthew Stafford’s hands? San Francisco’s defense closed, and Kyren Williams learned an Ernest Byner–style goal-line lesson.
New segment — SPORTLE...
We'll say it - The NFL has a QB problem and expectations are wild. We’re tackling it head-on with a new mailbag that answers your DMs.
Benches and pivots first: Joe Flacco sits in Cleveland, Dillon Gabriel gets the nod over Shedeur Sanders—was that always the plan? And did Shedeur passing on the Ravens age differently now that Lamar is banged up?
Then the league’s Europe push: more overseas game...
Tie on SNF?! Cowboys–Packers ends with no winner and the internet melts. Should the NFL eliminate ties or keep the chaos?
Giants–Chargers: Herbert’s ball security vanished, Jaxson Dart was solid, and Malik Nabers’ ACL injury reignites the turf war conversation in the NFL.
Steelers–Vikings: it’s time to talk Old Man Aaron Rodgers and the steady Steelers
Chiefs–Ravens: Baltimore gets smoked, Lamar exits in ...
TNF: Seahawks–Cardinals — a “for sure” kick, Marvin Harrison Jr.’s rough drops → redemption TD, and why panic needs context.
Sam Darnold is dealing—did the Vikings misread the room? What a true “second chance” unlocks (confidence, role clarity, simpler asks).
The Russell Wilson discourse: RG3 hates it, Richard Sherman torches it—where we land on the narrative vs the tape.
QB Heat Check: our Top 10 QBs...
New York is benching Super Bowl-winning QB Russel Wilson and handing the keys to rookie QB Jaxson Dart. We debate the decision, walk through the next five games, and why the timing has us split between “bold” and “setting him up to fail.”
Also in this episode:
- 49ers lose Nick Bosa (ACL): when does a season become “washed,” and does a Trey Hendrickson trade make sense?
- MNF: Lions vs Raven...
QB stock up, stock down. We open with the Bears & Caleb Williams torching Dallas—were we too early to write off this coach-QB marriage? Two first-win speeches, two cultures between Dallas Cowboys DC Eberflus and Chicago Bears HC Ben Johnson
Then: Baker Mayfield MVP watch (4th-quarter DAWG with the receipts), and whether Daniel Jones belongs in the way-too-early conversation.
- Penix gets yanked, ...
College football heat check. We open with the impossible job of keeping fanbases happy—why every presser is a referendum and what Brian Kelly did (and didn’t) say. We handicap current CFP paths, circle this week’s must-watch matchups, and stare down the Oregon–Oregon State “Civil War” with a historic spread and a first-year HC (Trent Bray) who isn’t exactly radiating swagger.
Then to the NFL: the Bills smack the Dolphi...
Baker Mayfield keeps closing games like a psycho—leading the NFL in 4th-quarter TDs since ’23—and we break down why his late-game traits travel.
Then we ask: is Justin Herbert turning into the Josh Allen 2.0 — a true “lab-made” QB finally moving the needle?
Plus: JJ McCarthy’s injury (and why a reset helps), Carson Wentz’s return, the most surprising 2–0/0–2 teams, a quick power-ranking check, and ...
