Including a good matchup between the Chiefs and the Seahawks, the first-ever Paris game, and a must-win game for the Rams.

Eddie talks about the recent protests and riots across Paris and France, including how he got caught up in some tear gas on Saturday night in Châtelet. But he was left with further questions after an odd experience at the Slayyyter concert on Sunday.  The Rams lost to the Cardinals, ending Frank and Eddie's survivor run, but Eddie wondered why Americans overthink the challenges of kicking.

And Eddie isn't sold on Josh Hartnett's new Netflix show 'Below'.

The Denver Broncos beat the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night, but the result left some questions for both teams. For the Seahawks, should they be concerned about the play of Sam Darnold, and have we overestimated the strength of the NFC West? For the Broncos, they keep winning, but Bo Nix still doesn't look right.  Frank and Eddie make their previews and predictions for all of the remaining games for Week 6 of the NFL season.

Novak Djokovic has been enjoying his trip to Asia, and continued his remarkable record in Beijing. Frank and Eddie look back on the action from Week 4 of the NFL season, including what the immediate future holds for Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, and CJ Stroud. And how much should you believe in the Vikings? And has Brock Purdy wrestled control of the MVP race?  Plus, the Nations League doesn't deliver much, but how much should we read into England demolishing Croatia, and will we ever see Cristiano Ronaldo playing for Portugal again?

Frank has made it to Tokyo and has some stories from his flight, his first couple of days in Japan, and some rare political commentary. Eddie is worried that the Manchester City situation could spiral out of control and cause problems for the Premier League, UEFA, FIFA, and professional sports as a whole.  Plus, our full previews and predictions for every game left in Week 4 of the NFL season. Including must-win games for the Texans, Packers, and Chargers, and interesting matchups for the Bills, Rams, Chiefs, and 49ers.

The Premier League has found Manchester City guilty of 114 financial breaches, but Eddie isn't sure what the realistic or appropriate punishment should be. Points deductions? Fines? Relegation? The Big Chill discusses the various possibilities.  And Frank and Eddie look back on all of the action from Week 3 of the NFL season, including perfect starts for the Bills, 49ers, Chiefs, Raiders, and Vikings.

In the UEFA Nations League, an Israeli player was sent off for his celebration against Austria, and Jurgen Klopp is attempting a new approach to squad rotation with Germany.  Frank is still coming to terms with Jaxson Dart's season-ending injury and what it means for the New York Giants, but Eddie rants about pre-game player family gatherings and asks Frank whether Justin Herbert or Madison Beer is more famous.  Plus, all of our previews and predictions for Week 3 of the NFL, and Frank's potential plans for his trip to Japan.

Eddie is settling in during his visit to Toronto, but had some complaints for Air France after a smelly flight to Canada. He also had some thoughts on the Ole Miss chants following their big win over LSU.  Frank barely made it through the first week of his survivor pool after the Eagles snuck by the Titans. But are there some major takeaways after losses for the Chargers and Ravens? The 49ers, Vikings, and Panthers continue to roll, but injuries to Jaxson Dart, Jayden Daniels, and Caleb Williams could derail a few seasons.  In the Premier League, Arsenal suffered their first defeat of the season as Manchester City maintained their perfect start.

And how much should we read into the Giants' win over the Cowboys, the 49ers manhandling the Rams, the Vikings' bizarre comeback against the Packers, and the Cardinals' surprising win against the Chargers?  Plus, there was controversy again in the Premier League as City won the Manchester Derby. Eddie shares his thoughts on the Foden red card, as well as another baffling VAR decision that allowed Haaland's winner to stand and pile more pressure on Carrick and Manchester United.

Frank and Eddie make their previews and predictions for the 2026 NFL season.

Will the Seahawks, 49ers, Bears, Lions, Cowboys, or Eagles be able to challenge them in the NFC? In the AFC, can the Patriots repeat their strong season? Or will the Ravens, Bills, or Broncos be able to stop them? All that and more... And then our predictions for every game from Week 1 of the 2026 NFL Season. Including the historic game between the Rams and the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia. As well as a heated divisional rivalry between the Cowboys and the Giants.

Eddie and Frank start by sharing some recent travel stories.

Eddie made his long-awaited return to cricket, and it has made him even more confident about some claims he made about Paul Collingwood 20 years ago. With Aaron Donald announcing his return to the Los Angeles Rams and the NFL, will his comeback be as successful as Eddie's? And what does Novak Djokovic's first-round exit at the US Open mean for his future? And the second weekend of Premier League action saw comfortable wins for Manchester City and Manchester United, but there are more warning signs for Spurs and Liverpool.

The Jed York arrest continues to get weirder as more details emerge, but is the NFL prepared for the prospect of Jake Paul playing in the future? Frank is enjoying the chaos of the European football transfer window; will Manchester City, Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool continue to splash the cash in the final days of the window?  Eddie doesn't believe that FIFA's punishment for Argentina's behaviour during the World Cup is sufficient, especially as Argentina are looking for creative ways to offset their financial penalties.
