We are just over a quarter of the way through the college football season and conferences are taking shape. We take a look at the Power 5 teams to see who's the team to beat and who's not played anyone. Don't get us a wrong, three OU fans are going to have their moment and talk all things OU and heck, even some USC stuff because, well you know.
Some things need to change in the NFL, including but not limited to, TNF, concussion protocol escape artists, and a certain gameplan that is rampant with bad QB's!
MLB has entered the chat and so has the magical moments that only come with a sport filled with history and numbers. We talk Pujols hitting not just one milestone! Aaron Judge is now tied with the single season non-steroid home run record with 2 games to go!
The NFL Season is underway and we are brining back our fan favorite episode where we dissect the W's own "Very Good Fantasy Football League" draft.
Some things to know about the league.
Entering it's 4th season.
14 team redraft.
Superflex.
No kickers/DEF
And a short bench.
Let's get to it.

The NFL season starts tomorrow and we have all the last minute predictions for division winners, playoffs, head coaches to be fired, and some absolutely massive "hot takes" from the hosts. As a bonus, you will be able to find out who is the biggest homer of a fan by the end!
Week Zero in college football wrapped up (Big surprise Nebraska Lost another one possession game..) And that means that your fantasy football season is officially here! Whether you are drating this week or have some ideas what you think a good stradegy is, the W Podcast is here for you.
We are breaking down a 10 Team PPR - multi-flex league. Who won, who reached, and what kind of drafter are you if you take a Kicker or Defense before the last two rounds?
Want us to review your draft? Send us a message with a draft board of your league for it to be on the podcast. You can do that on our instagram - @the.w.podcast or twitter @The_W_Podcast
It's finally here! The college football season kicks off this Saturday with Week Zero and we are here for it.
This episode you can find all of our picks to win the Power 5 conferences and more!
You want to know who the Heisman favorite and dark horse is? We got you.
Plus, we have our picks for the CFP and it includes someone from each of the Power 5 conferences, even the Pac-12! But will it be USC?
The AP Poll is out and one team is unranked that was in the coaches poll - believe it or not, they had 1 first place vote in the coaches poll!
Is anyone over ranked or under-hyped?
The NFL Preseason is underway! QB's like Pickett, Darnold, Baker, Watson, Love, and more are in the headlines for better or worse reasons.
Brady is not in the house.
Injuries are happening, including Wilson in New York and Akers again in LA. How many stars will we lose before the season starts?
In the baseball world, The Machine lights up again with a 2HR day against a division foe, as Pujols continues his chase for 700. But can he make it?
The Yankees are stumbling to the finish line, while the Astors keep on shooting for the moon. The Dodgers are the worst team in the league, or so it feels for a few Dodger fans. While the Phillies are on the cusp of having Harper back at the same time another Wild Card team realizes they won't get their star back due to a P.E.D. suspension. Bye-Bye Tatis Jr. See you next season.
The first AP poll is out and the W crew is breaking down what coaches in college football are thinking as college football kicks off in a matter of weeks! And someone voted Texas #1?! Where’d USC land? Surprise. It’s not as high as last years preseason poll! It’s also time for some Big10 Trivia and a quick discussion on the QB battle in Michigan.
In the NFL, Watson may be suspended more than 6 games (thankfully) but that’s not all that keeps the Browns in the news, because Hunt wants out! And in Carolina, somehow there is a QB battle going on? While the Dolphins get caught with the hand in the cookie jar, even without actually having Brady on the team!
After the trade dust settles, the Cubs, Red Sox, and Giants don’t know what to do, Soto is in southern Cal, but will it make enough of a difference? Field of Dreams vs The London Series.
And another week goes by with the passing of an icon. We talk how Vin Scully was truly a g.o.a.t.
August means two things: 1) It’s hot outside, and 2) football season literally kicks off this month! From training camp, to preseason football, to week 0 of college football, we cover it all!
- WRs getting paid even if they play like a RB. (Let’s hope they hold up better than one.)
- Watson is getting 6 games. Is that too little?
- In college football, it’s time to talk about the PAC-10...Well, PAC-12 (for now at least), and its commissioner coming out firing at the BIG12!
- USC is apparently championship-or-bust. But are all things really sunny in SoCal?
- Recruiting season is in full swing for 2023, and Brent Venables is changing things up in Oklahoma. Will going against the grain work out? Have we seen it anywhere else?
In the baseball world, it’s trade deadline week! Lots of deal are already underway, including All Star Josh Hader, Montas, Castillo, and more! But by the end of the deadline, will Juan Soto be out? Will JD stay in Boston? Contreras in Chicago? One thing is for sure--Ohtani will still be an Angel, sadly. And on top of that, one MVP candidate is getting paid, but did he sell himself short?
Finally, we close out today's show with words for one of the greatest basketball players of all time--the late Bill Russell.
Trade season is here for the MLB and we are excited for the possibilities of where stars like Juan Soto of the 'Nats could end up! But if it came down to it, would you chose Soto or Ohtani? Aaron Judge looks like his monster season may not end in a monster contract with the Yankees - does that mean they may make a push for OF help or stick to the focus on pitching?
Who are sellers in the league? Should the Red Sox sell? What about a surprise buyer team like the Rangers?
And has Julio in SEA locked up the AL ROY award or is someone sneaking up ready to take it?
In the NFL - Kyle get's paid and Julio has found his home and it's not where Devon hoped it would be (a la GB).
Alternet helmets- Who has the best ones so far? And who didn't get the instructions apparently.
College football Week 0 is going to be here in one month! Media days continue and we have a few notes from the SEC. Including Kirby Smart getting PAID!
NIL, NCAA, and the Transfer mortal may have taken a step in the wrong direction.
Baseball's All Star Break is here, and it’s time to check in on the top teams, trade options (will Juan Soto be a Nat after July 31st?), and award the leaders from our pre-season predictions.
You know we had to pick some HR Derby outcomes--who's got Julio advancing? Did someone actually pick The Machine to beat our #1 seed? And why would anyone pick against the 2-time defending champ, Alonso??
ESPN put out a top 10 QB list, right as we ramp up NFL news for the upcoming season, and it has one of us TRIGGERED. Find out who, and why!
College football media days are here, and this week we break down the days from the BIG12. We know these are usually all talk, but what can we read between the lines? (Apparently, a lot)
Super Conferences coming? Or are the major pieces done moving at this point in college football?
Jordan Addison mad about “broken promises”
Should coaches turn down recruits?
Caleb Williams is in the news again.. we’ll really it’s his dad. Again.
We play the game “Field or favorite” for all conferences in college football!
Baker finally out of Cleveland. Will he start over Corrall and darnold?
The baseball world is set for the all star game and someone got snubbed, is it a big deal or nah?
The Astros keep climbing and the angles need to consider trading Trout for the good of the game.
And somehow the orioles are nearing .500!
NCAAF:
- The PAC12 is the PAC10 again, at least for now. And the Big10 is going to be about 10 states across. USC and UCLA are moving out--did Lincoln Riley know when he took the job? What does this mean for OU and Texas?
- Speaking of Texas, does Arch Manning's commitment mean they're back? How hot will the seat be for Ewers in ‘23?
- The Elite 11 chose a winner this past week, and he didn't commit to Texas--no, he'll be going to our favorite rival of theirs. #boomer
MLB:
- The trade deadline is fast approaching--who’s buying/selling, and who are the key pieces to be moved?
- Freddie Freeman’s agent didn’t give him the Braves final offer. 👀
- The Nationals pick up Mike Rizzo's option for 2023?
- Manfred said his next goal is to end Blackouts. We're on board.
NFL:
- Gronk did it- again. Retiring as the best TE ever?
This week, on The W Podcast:
- James strikes out in Slowpitch Softball
- If there was a Mt. Rushmore of the WNBA--does Sue Bird make it?
- NCAA: Surprises and storylines in the College Baseball World Series, including Melendez being shut down for UT. But it looks like the Longhorns have a future #1 overall pick coming in to take over next year--find out why Joseph disagrees.
- MLB: Major League Baseball seems to have hit the dog days of summer a bit early as Mookie, Tatis, the Mets, Tyler O’Neil, and so many other injuries are happening all around the league.
- Golf: Is the LIV a legitimate long-term threat to the PGA tour? Or is it the next USFL?
- NFL: The hosts of The W agree that Tyreke's just making up stuff at this point to try and get more listeners on his podcast.
- A new World Series Champion is crowned, and it looks like Oklahoma Softball could be the next "Alabama Football." Will OU sweep both College World Series'? Or will Texas, led by Melendez, or maybe even another Cinderella take home the Men's trophy in Omaha?
- Big news in the NFL with Lamar Jackson, and the PFF has decided to rank the top 10 coaches - how well did they do? Should Saban be punished, or is Jimbo just whining for attention?
- The MLB world is full of streaks -- As the Braves cruise past 10 straight Ws this week, the Angels stop their skid, and both the Cubs and Brewers are finding themselves in a tailspin earlier than expected. How will injuries affect the Dodgers and Mets?
NFL: Three QBs to highlight as Mini Camp is underway.
NCAA: The College World Series is ramping up!
MLB: Two managers fired, and this year's longest losing streak so far. Plus, Matt Carpenter is rocking an impressive 'stache for the New York Yankees, and...people are getting slapped over fantasy football?
We tie it all up with some trivia you don't want to miss, on this week's episode of The W Podcast.
- Guess which host's MLB favorite has been listening to the pod? 😎 They made the right decision!
- MLB: At the quarter mark of the baseball season, there is at least 1 surprising team in the playoffs, if the playoffs started today. We quiz Devon as he picks division winners and dark horses. And, in the NL East, where there’s already nearly a 10 game lead, we know the Mets' injuries are piling up and--let's face it--the Mets are gonna Met.
- NCAAF: College sports are still a whirlwind of NIL deals, and two big names in the SEC are going toe-to-toe on how it's working. Who do you think is in the right?
- The College Softball and Baseball World Series Championships are on the horizon - let’s go Sooners!
A little bit of baseball in my life,
A little bit of softball by my side,
A little bit of football's all I need,
A little bit of hockey's all I see,
A little bit of Booker and the Suns
A little bit of disc golf sounds like fun,
Maybe even cornhole has some fans,
If anyone can cover it all, The W can!
- Are college athletes just free agents now? The NCAAF doesn't have enough guidelines around paying college athletes, and it's going to get messy.
- Home runs are running low, and so are ERAs--is it something in the water, or something in the baseballs?
- What's our take on banning the shift in the MLB? Will it help or hurt the game of baseball?
- Thoughts on The NFL Draft: Who made it out on top, and who (cough the Patriots) made the most mistakes? One team is getting a lot of praise, but not from everyone at The W.
- College Football: Lincoln Riley continues to do shady things, but who’s surprised? 🤷
- MLB: One month into baseball season, we have a few buy-or-sell teams. Are the giants for real again? Are the Red Sox that bad? And what is wrong with the Central favorite?
All that and more on this week's episode of The W!
Hopes, Dreams, Reactions, Sleepers, Busts, and more from the W Podcast for this year's NFL Draft.

Plus, a few "pick ‘em" games--wanna bet Joseph sides with Devon? Who knows 'til you listen!

We can’t believe it, but we are officially 25 episodes old, and we had to do something special to celebrate. 🙌🏼
James, Devon, and Joseph battle it out to draft the best overall teams in sports: basketball, football, and baseball. Who’s the best drafter? You get to be the judge!
But we can't go a whole week without talking about what's happening in the rest of the sports world, so fear not--in this episode we'll also cover the NFL Combine, the continuation of the MLB Lockout, and more!
Episode 24: With the MLB deep into lockout mode, it's clear that this world needs hope. Have no fear, The W Podcast is here!
This week we look at two divisions in baseball, and the teams within that have one of the best rotations in the game, the best up-and-coming young talent, and one of the best defenses we’ve ever seen...and that’s only THREE teams. Plus, the hosts of the W pick 2 teams who will probably lose 105 games a piece (gross).
Meanwhile, in football...
Art Briles thinks he can sneak by everyone, and Kyler Murray changes his course with Arizona. What next?!
All that and more on this week's episode of The W!
Six more weeks of winter for Major League Baseball? The MLB is in their 2nd-longest lockout EVER, and the end doesn't seem to be close. But that won’t stop us from looking forward to what the upcoming season will look like! The hosts of The W cover the most recent best and worst divisions in baseball, the latter of which somehow held last year's World Series Champion. That's right--we're talking AL and NL East!
Football never sleeps, and you bet we're already speculating on some of the big names in the NFL that might be due to change teams this year. Aaron Rodgers, Jimmy Garoppolo, Russel Wilson, and even the GOAT, Tom Brady--which of them might be headed for a fresh start?
Get ready...this week's episode is all about "The Big Game", and the hosts of The W Podcast get more heated than ever 🔥 Have we ever heard Devon get this loud?
- Did the LA Rams win the Super Bowl, or did they just "not lose" the game?
- Joe Burrow wasn't "Joe Cool" this time around, but was it his fault?

Who's to blame? Who gets the credit? Find out on this week's episode!

Wow, that was a weird week.
Are elite quarterbacks really elite anymore? The College Football Playoff Committee has no idea what they're doing, but hey, we still seem to care, right? Plus, a surprise retirement in baseball, and a record-setting Gold Glove year.
It's the last weekend before the College Football playoff rankings. Oklahoma, Michigan State, Cincinnati, and Ohio State work to impress the CFB Committee (and James and Devon 😏).
In the NFL, it looks like nobody wants to win the AFC, and the NFC adds yet another contender.
Can the Braves save America from an Astros championship? Who will be this year's MVP? James and Devon have some thoughts, along with some series picks.
- Power surge means free entry to Oklahoma v. Kansas
- OT x 9 at Penn State v. Illinois
- Everything's wrong with the Chiefs, and the Arizona Cardinals remain undefeated
1 Alabama lost last week, #2 Iowa this week. Will #3 OU be next? ....Nah, they've got Kansas.
The NFC is stacked, and it looks like Buffalo is pulling away in the AFC.
Atlanta Braves are hot at the right time, and the Red Sox are a grand slam (to Devon's dismay).
Did some of the all-time greatest college football games happen this weekend? Are the Bills the NFL team to beat? And, are these teams doing baseball wrong? These are some of the questions James and Devon hash out this week on The W.
Special guests Joseph Grijalva and Ricky Stover join James and Devon in breaking down last week's NCAA & NFL story lines, and then take a look at the beginning of the MLB post-season.
