On this edition of Throw Up Tackle, the crew opens with “My Confessions” energy and goes straight at the Sherrone Moore situation—why side pieces don’t just “go away,” how cheating turns into career nukes, and why the stakes hit different when you’re one of the few Black head coaches in major college football. The convo gets real about emotional discipline, marriage as the foundation, and the bigger responsibility that comes with being a face in spaces where “we” still don’t get many shots. Then it’s rapid-fire chaos the way Throw Up Tackle does it: College Football Playoff politics (Notre Dame vs. the ACC/committee drama), Miami vs. Texas A&M nerves, and the weekly picks run—complete with Panthers/Bucs tension, Chiefs shutdown talk after Mahomes’ ACL, and arguments about who really deserves Coach of the Year. Messy takes, betting energy, and plenty of “what are we doing out here?”—all in one episode.

On this episode of Throw Up Tackle, THE! Mario Washington, The DOK, and LJ go all the way in on the chaos of the College Football Playoff. The crew lights up Notre Dame for opting out of its bowl, questions how an independent program with no real signature wins thought it had a case, and breaks down why Miami belonged in the field before the Irish ever did. From ACC tiebreaker madness and a five-loss Duke in the title game, to SEC bias, TV-driven narratives, and conferences that no longer make geographic sense, they debate what a real national championship system should look like—expanded playoffs, capped conference sizes, real commissioners, and revenue sharing that actually fixes the sport. Then they pivot to the NFL and it gets even wilder. The guys react to the Indianapolis Colts dragging Philip Rivers out of retirement and wonder how a Hall of Fame clock gets reset for a QB who hasn’t played in five years. They hit on Sheduer Sanders’ development and future, why the Chiefs look cooked, how violent and legit the Texans defense is under DeMeco Ryans, and what’s gone wrong with Jalen Hurts and the Eagles. As always, they close with their weekly picks, more jokes at Cowboys fans’ expense, and a healthy dose of controlled chaos—classic Throw Up Tackle.

On this episode of Throw Up Tackle, THE! Mario Washington, The DOK, and LJ unleash the boo birds on a chaotic week across the sports universe. They roast the Dallas Mavericks’ front office after Nico Harrison’s firing and the lingering insanity of trading Luka for AD while Cooper Flagg is miscast as a point guard. They pivot to New York, where Brian Daboll is out, Mike Kafka is in, and the Belichick-to-the-Giants whispers spark a brutally honest conversation about who “looks” like an NFL head coach.  The crew then dives into the growing gambling mess: MLB pitchers allegedly rigging pitch-by-pitch props for a few thousand dollars, the dark side of player props, and how legalized betting is both exposing and enabling this nonsense. From there it’s buyout season—Brian Kelly vs LSU and why, if you write a $54 million clause, you better honor it—and a heated look at the YouTube TV vs Disney/ESPN standoff that’s holding fans’ games hostage and poking at a bigger question about the future of live sports. They wrap with sharp NFL and CFB takes on the Chiefs, Lions, Broncos, Seahawks, Cowboys, Colorado and more, plus the weekly picks, sidebars, lemon pepper wings, and just enough slander to keep everybody honest.

The guys jump into the money talk early in this episode discussing why ESPN vanished from YouTube TV, what carriage fees really are, and how the math (and greed) behind cable → streaming is squeezing fans. Expect real numbers, real frustration, DirecTV flashbacks, and a debate about whether we’re just rebuilding cable with extra steps. That flows into an AI reality check—what “AI” is (and isn’t), why studios want shortcuts, and a house-robot demo that turned out to be… a person on the other end. 😬 On the field and the court: the crew revisits Josh Allen vs. Patrick Mahomes (regular season bragging vs. playoff reality), the AFC playoff picture, and why doubting 15 is still a bad bet. Then it’s Ja Morant’s slump (and usage), Memphis’s mess, and who actually owns fixing it. They wrap with Pick’em standings, trap-game alarms, and rapid-fire Week picks—plus the running joke of who needs to “sell the house” next. If you care about touchdowns, TV deals, and the truth behind your monthly bill, this one’s for you.

This week, the crew dives headfirst into the NBA’s betting scandal: Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier, and Damon Jones—what the indictments say, how a La Cosa Nostra poker ring fits in, and why prop-bet “unders” are a ticking time bomb. Mario, The DOK, and LJ debate how much the players knew, why “helping your boy” can wreck a career, and whether legal betting has made policing easier—or temptation worse. Then it’s on to the court: 50 is the new 40 as scorers pile up monster nights—does offense still wow if nobody guards? College football chaos follows: Brian Kelly out at LSU and a jaw-dropping $168M in dead money for fired coaches—who pays, why buyouts keep ballooning, and which agents are eating good.They close with NFL picks and quick hits on shaky QBs, surging defenses, and which contenders actually need this week’s win the most. Smart takes, wild theories, and just enough chaos—Throw Up Tackle style.

THE! Mario Washington, The Dok, and LJ unpack a brutal college football weekend—Miami’s Friday-night frustration, a stack of Top-25 losses, and whether the 12-team CFP makes slip-ups meaningless. They debate the ACC’s strength, the right vs. wrong way to use the transfer portal, NIL’s new power dynamics, and how mid-season firings derail players, recruiting, and timelines. Then the crew shifts to the NBA’s opening week and what it actually costs to watch hoops in 2025—league pass, streaming apps, and cable bundles that can push fans toward a four-figure bill—plus some love for over-the-air games and what’s next for studio shows. They wrap with Finals and MVP picks (Jokić? Luka? a sleeper out East), and rapid-fire NFL selections for the week—Falcons-Fins, Giants-Eagles, Bills-Panthers, Chiefs and more.
