The NFL made waves in Week 1 by sending the Chargers to Brazil for a conference home game against the Chiefs—sparking questions about what that meant for their loyal fans back in Los Angeles. The hosts dive into the league’s rationale for expanding the game internationally and what it says about the NFL’s global ambitions.
Meanwhile, Dwayne Johnson’s latest sports movie and John Cena’s farewell tour add a heavy dose of Hollywood to this week’s headlines.
Our guest, Victor Figueroa, a rising baseball player, joins us to share his inspiring journey and the motivation driving his career on and off the diamond.
Then in our hot take, we debate: who’s the greatest athlete-turned-actor of all time? And in Riley’s Rant, the conversation turns to whether athletes might actually be Hollywood’s best performers.
From the NFL’s international play to baseball inspiration and the sports-Hollywood crossover, this episode has it all.
