Jackson Roberts of TwoTV Sports and Cale Clinton of Football Outsiders are here to provide you with a weekly dose of zany professional football content. They'll take you through the Countdown, in which you'll learn about their strongest takeaways, game ball recipients, favorite uniforms of the week, and one most head-scratching moment!
Another phenomenal football season of TMB has concluded and this ending feels a lot like the last one! So let's break it all down, from the reasons KC won, to Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers' woes in big games, to the game balls, head scratchers and uniform debates. It's a super episode for Super Bowl 58, and yes, we talked once more about the Commercial Draft...

Well, friends, for better or worse, we know the Super Bowl matchup. It's a 2019 rematch and we're breaking down exactly how we got to this point, with maybe a future projection thrown in here and there. Along the way, we discuss Cale's newfound appreciation for "baller" Brock Purdy, Jackson's disdain for the Lions' pants and the boys' third annual Super Bowl commercial draft. It's an action-packed TMB, so dive on in!

Divisional Round football has come and gone once more and as is becoming an annual tradition... the Bills suffered total heartbreak. And there were three other games with massive implications, so why don't we have ourselves a podcast?
Thanks for listening to Episode 84!

NFL Wild Card Weekend is almost fully in the rearview mirror, but let's both revisit the games that were and dive into the implications on the games yet to be! It's a special Wednesday edition of TMB, and if you couldn't tell by the episode length... we talked some serious ball this week.

Playoff. Football. Aren't those just the most beautiful words you've ever heard? We're here to dissect the playoff field, how we got here in Week 18 and who we think the teams to beat on Super Wild Card weekend might just be! Ready, set, TMB!

The year is new, the football is becoming do-or-die... and Cale has COVID. Will that stop us from delivering a Week 17 podcast for the ages? We don't have to even answer that one. 3, 2, 1... HAPPY TMB!

The presents and songs may be a thing of the past, but the Christmas spirit lives on here at the Tuesday Morning Blitz. On this special midweek episode, we're breaking down the news du jour before diving back into the week that was, examining the playoff races and giving much-needed gifts to all those teams still fighting to secure their spots in the dance.

Welcome back to the TMB Gaming Universe, where absolutely anything is on the table. We're buying or selling teams to win playoff games, before diving into one of the greatest bits ever on our show--NFL Fixer Upper. That's right, we're taking one player each from every team clearly outside the playoff picture and putting them on a team right in the hunt to make them instantly more dangerous. Want to find out where Sauce Gardner, Davante Adams and Saquon Barkley are headed in our fantasy land? This is the podcast for you.

Last week we named the episode White Trash Nirvana. This week, we may have achieved podcast nirvana. We're talking hypothetical combined football teams. We're trying to solve refereeing using analytics. We're laughing at the ridiculousness of the College Football Playoff even though we're not a CFB pod. This really might be the peak of TMB's existence.
Thanks for listening to Episode 78!

Did the Bills lose another overtime game? You betcha. Did we get Bills superfan Nolan Hughes on the pod to relive his traumatic life experiences? Obviously! Welcome to a TMB instant classic, if we may be so pretentious as to call it that.

This episode truly has it all, folks. Triumphs for teams on the playoff fringes. Quarterbacks and head coaches officially becoming lost causes. And, potentially, our most vehement disagreement. The NFL season has boiled to a fever pitch, so join us as we unravel it topic by topic!
Thanks for listening to Episode 76! If you like football (which you probably do, if you’re listening to this podcast), we guarantee you’ll like following us @TMB_Pod on Twitter, and hey, while you’re at it, follow hosts @CaleClinton, @nolan_hughes24 and @jrobertsbsbl as well.

This was a fantastic week of football! But it left us with many questions. Are there any standout teams at all in the AFC? Is the NFC officially a four-horse race now? Who is actually good at quarterbacking? We aim to answer all that and more on this week's TMB installment!

What looked like a mediocre slate of NFL games turned into one of our favorite weekends of the season… from the Germany game to CJ Stroud’s epic comeback to a heart-stopping NFC East showdown, we really were spoiled by Week 9’s twists and turns. So let’s fire off a couple hours of podcast goodness, featuring all the segments you know and love!

It was a very eventful NFL Sunday, as is the case whenever the league randomly decides to abstain from bye weeks in the middle of the season. We had a rash of injuries, some unexpected losses and a MetLife Stadium game for the front pages of all the history books. Let's talk football, shall we?
Thanks for listening to Episode 73! If you like football (which you probably do, if you’re listening to this podcast), we guarantee you’ll like following us @TMB_Pod on Twitter, and hey, while you’re at it, follow hosts @CaleClinton, @nolan_hughes24 and @jrobertsbsbl as well.

Week 7 was upside-down world across the NFL. Awful teams won football games. Teams we thought were good looked like excrement. And Tyson Bagent won a game he started at quarterback. So we broke it all down, laughed more than usual and went on some epic side tangents. So, in other words, welcome to a vintage TMB episode!
Thanks for listening to Episode 72!

Cale said it on the pod, so we'll say it in the description: one of the best weeks of football in recent memory?! Week 6 brought with it all sorts of twists and turns, chief among them the two remaining undefeated teams losing in dramatic fashion, so we naturally had to chef up a 2+ hour pod for all our loyal TMB sickos. We're making proclamations, celebrating old friends and in a few cases, eating some crow. Let's dive on in...

Do we know if anyone is good at football? Well, the Niners might be the best team of all time, but... anyone else? Let's sift through it all this week on another riveting installment of the Tuesday Morning Blitz...
Thanks for listening to Episode 70! If you like football (which you probably do, if you’re listening to this podcast), we guarantee you’ll like following us @TMB_Pod on Twitter, and hey, while you’re at it, follow hosts @CaleClinton, @nolan_hughes24 and @jrobertsbsbl as well.

This episode of TMB is particularly special because... we're one episode away from #70 and that's obvious.
Childlike humor aside, we have arrived at the quarter-turn of the season and it's time for a take audit! We're getting into the power dynamics in both conferences and deciding whether or not to walk back any of our preseason predictions, so there's a lot of good ball talk coming your way. Stay tuned for:

Hello listeners! Hopefully this episode is accessible on all platforms the second time around. If this is the second time you're seeing all this... you're welcome ;)
Beautiful tragedy was on display across NFL stadiums all Sunday long and Jackson and Cale are here to break down a wacky Week 3 for all to hear. It's all about embracing chaos on this week's TMB, so strap in and push that play button...

It's NFL Week 2. It's the entire TMB cast of characters, including Nolan Hughes making his first-ever postgame pod appearance. And it's a whole lot of insight and nonsense somehow woven into a cohesive two-hour conversation. This episode has everything, we assure you.

Season three of the Tuesday Morning Blitz is finally, officially, underway. And Week 1 delivered no shortage of drama and hilarity, so of course we bantered for nearly two hours. Come for the weekly awards, stay for Cale's sicko uniform takes and possibly the most absurd outro in our show's history. Ready, set, TMB!
The title is the description! On the eve of the 2023 NFL season, we tackled one question for each NFL team that we are most interested in tracking as the football odyssey begins. We knew it would be a behemoth of an episode and it even turned into SpeedPod at the end. Stick along for the full ride and we promise you won't be disappointed by Cale's Arizona Cardinals thoughts.
We're Cale, Nolan and Jackson and we'll see you... next Tuesday
Cale Clinton. Jackson Roberts. And our favorite third wheel, new official TMB personality Nolan Hughes. We've been away a while, but rest assured, we are very much back. And to kick off the 2023 NFL season in style, we're picking the NFL teams, draft style, in order of who we think will get us the most wins in 2023. We'll also talk life a bit, give out some head-scratchers of the offseason and maybe even look ahead a bit to the fine season we're about to see unfold. What more could you wish for?
TMB is launching into our offseason content with an absolute BANGER. We’re talking anything and everything on our minds surrounding the transactions and storylines that have played out since the confetti dropped in Arizona last month. That means we’re getting deep into the weeds on Aaron Rodgers’ desires to play for the Jets. Explaining why the trade involving the number one pick might be good for both the Panthers and the Bears. Breaking down the arms race in the NFC as the 49ers and Eagles are shifting pieces around on defense. There are too many other topics to list, so just hit the play button!

Because one pod wasn’t enough to contain all the awards this year! No, seriously, Anchor won’t take a podcast over 250 MB.
At any rate, we know you’ve been wondering who else would take home a TMB Award. There are some oldies but goodies in here, some awards specific to this year and some brand-new ones we think will become staples. Thanks for riding with us all season and enjoy this final episode of the 2022 season!

*Allegedly
It was nearly the longest podcast in TMB history… but we had to break it up into two parts because the full file was too large to be published. And many are already saying they’re the greatest two parts in our illustrious catalog.
We spent the entire season chronicling the wackiest moments of professional football, so now we get to enjoy the fruits of our labor while handing out some hardware. It’s the Third Annual TMB Awards Podcast, the only show without a crazy Cale-inspired episode title (although if it did have one, it would have been “Thin Veneer of Cornball”). And of course, welcome back special guest, TMB guru and miserable Bills fan Nolan Hughes. Sit back and enjoy!

The sun has set on Super Bowl LVII, but we are still trying to make sense of exactly what we saw. Well, aside from the Chiefs winning and the Eagles losing, obviously. It was a game with a ton of offense, lots of momentum swings and one call that people seemed to hate at the end of it, but we’re here to tell you every reason the game actually swung the way that it did and what it all means. For the final time in the 2022 football season… let’s have ourselves a TMB.

This is a very different TMB than we are accustomed to producing… but it’s one of our all-time favorites. With one game left to determine the football season, we’re going through and picking out all the mini-matchups and X-factors that we think can decide the fate of the Lombardi Trophy. We can’t wait to see which of these end up mattering and whether or not something we barely picked up on will end up mattering the most of all (spoiler alert–probably will happen!) Here’s the rundown:

Two football games are broken down in this podcast. There’s only one more football game to go. If you want DEEP dives… you’ve come to the right place. Is it bad that the Eagles haven’t been tested? Can you study the analytics of coin toss decisions? Listen on for the answers…

DIVISIONAL ROUND TMB!! If we weren’t in the thick of the title hunt before, we certainly are now. Four teams left. All four think they can win the title (obviously). But in our minds, all four truly could this time around. How did we get here? Well, that’s what we came to the podcast mics to discuss today. Listen on for:

It's the Super Wild Card edition of TMB. We covered all the games, of course. We handed out game balls, uniform ribbons and head-scrachers. We even dove into next week's games. And believe us when we say... things got CONTENTIOUS. Strap in, grab a coffee or a midnight snack (we love our late night listeners too!) and let's DO THIS THING.

The wait is no more, friends. Playoff time is upon us and how we got here so quickly, we haven’t the faintest idea. This week we said goodbye to 18 teams (some in more dismaying fashions than others!) and press onward to the most tense, yet most enjoyable period of a football season. Before we fully turn the page, we have our usual weekly business to get to as well, so get ready for a jam-packed episode!

TMB is back after a delay this week, due to the scary injury to Bills safety Damar Hamlin. Thankfully, the outlook for Hamlin has continued to improve throughout the week and we at TMB are continuing to hold his recovery in the forefront of our thoughts.

Happy Holidays from the entire TMB team! There was a full weekend of football in the background, so we’re here to discuss it in detail. From playoff drama to futures of franchises in jeopardy, there was certainly no shortage of material for Cale and Jackson to dive into…

So… did anything noteworthy happen on Sunday? Anything that affected a team in which we both have some emotional investment? If so, it’s news to us. Listen to a totally normal TMB episode without any fits of rage right here!

A slightly abridged version of TMB is ready for your listening pleasure, but it’s still one of our best episodes of the year because Cale and Jackson actually got together on Sunday and watched football! In the aftermath, they discussed all the important elements added to our season-long drama. Elements like…

The Yearly Fantasy Football Rant
We made it halfway to 100! NFL Week 13 has (mostly) passed and that means hopes and dreams are being dashed across the country both on the gridiron and… the fantasy gridiron. Yes, we know, no one likes hearing about others’ fantasy football teams. We promise 97% of this podcast is still about regular NFL action. You simply cannot miss the rant, though, so stick around.

Week 12 has (mostly) come and gone, but our football spidey senses are still tingling. A day full of crazy endings, shoddy run defense and awful quarterbacks more than delivered on its entertainment quota. Cale and Jackson broke it down, in the following order:

NFL Week 11 featured a few awesome games, some big statements from possible contenders… and a few games that simply did not make any sense at all. But Cale and Jackson are here to sift through it all and highlight the most important moments and tidbits from the week that was! Topics include:

TMB got contentious this week, folks. Are the Bills still the number one team in football? Are the Seahawks a legitimate contender in the NFC? Should Tom Brady get a game ball for his one-touchdown performance? Guess you’ll have to listen on to find out…

Nearly at the halfway point of the 2022 NFL season, is it reasonable to say we've learned anything yet? Well, who knows, but we're trying to act as if we have. We recorded a podcast in a state of chaos--Jackson returning from a night of editing Dominican baseball highlights and Cale returning from MetLife Stadium with a Grade 3 sunburn. So let chaos reign!

A week with one of the worst NFL schedule slates we’d ever witnessed turned out… somewhat watchable? In between very sad injuries and a couple brutal performances from teams we thought were good, decent football was played and TMB is here to draw out all the conclusions. Listen on for:

Some weeks in football leave us feeling smart. This one left us feeling very, very dumb. But because we are true football fiends, we're here to put our cards on the table and tell you what we think all of the wacky results from Week 6 mean to the overall NFL landscape. Tune in for our biggest takeaways, game balls, the uniform games of the week and our biggest head-scratchers!
(Sorry for no timestamps this week, those will be back soon)
Brace yourselves, TMB fanatics. Not only is Cover One back this week, but we’re talking about the team you’ve all been waiting for. The Detroit Lions—everyone’s favorite 1-4 ragtag squad in all the land—are the subject of this week’s pod, and we’ve got a Michigander through and through to break them down.

Prepare yourself for the most delirious episode of TMB yet… the first ever recorded fully after midnight following a football Sunday. Week 5 brought some expected chaos, so Cale and Jackson made sure to bring the chaos to the podcast studio as well. This week’s topics consisted of:

It's officially cold and flu season, but both hosts falling ill wasn't enough to stop the TMB train! Week 4 was somewhat of a regression to the mean across the NFL, so we're here to sort out what it means for the season as a whole. Listen on to hear thoughts about:

Week 3 flipped what we thought we knew about football on its head in more ways than one, so our attempts to make sense of it all created an instant classic of an episode. There’s also an endless string of side tangents and Easter eggs strewn throughout the pod (did you see the Vikings fan with the crazy tattoos?)... so you’ll have to keep your ears finely tuned. Topics include:

How about a new podcast series? TMB is endeavoring to do deep dives on individual teams and their storylines for as many football franchises as we can throughout the season. It’s a chance to talk to people who know these teams as well as anybody and explore topics our normal format typically does not. To kick it off, we had a tremendous conversation about the prohibitive Super Bowl favorites, the Buffalo Bills, with WKBW Buffalo Bills reporter James Kattato. Topics include:

The Tuesday Morning Blitz was, for the first time, recorded at an hour so late that it actually bled into Tuesday morning. With that came one of our most comprehensive, totally unhinged breakdowns of a week of action in our history, which we are now proud to share with you. Click onward to hear:

Ep. 36: Snyder’s Trebuchet
The return of football Sunday was everything we could have asked for... and then some. So naturally, we were buzzing when we hopped on Zoom close to midnight to deliver a Week 1 pod with all the TMB segments you know and love. It's a tried and true TMB, and it's glorious. Listen ahead for:

Predictably, it happened… TMB crossed the two-hour mark for the first time in its history. But with sixteen teams to tackle and special guest Nolan Hughes along for the ride, how could we not run up the score a bit? It’s our AFC season preview and it’s glorious. Tune in for:

In the words of the great Cale Clinton, the August air is starting to feel a little crisp. It’s nearly football season and that means TMB has the duty of preparing you for any and every twist that could crop up along the way. This week, we welcome first-time guest Tosh Meyers, Packer superfan and hot take artist, to discuss all things NFC, including top storylines, favorite prop bets and postseason predictions.

It’s a training camp extravaganza, TMB style! Cale and Jackson are taking a break from their big boy jobs to deliver their thoughts on all things early August, before a new season of TMB truly gets into swing with the arrival of football season. The guys tackled some “Fact or Fiction” hypotheticals, while discussing:

The time has finally come...
Part Two of our official 2022 NFL Uniform Rankings is live and undoubtedly healthy debate shall ensue. Not only did Cale and Jackson rank their favorite NFL uniforms from 16 all the way to the top, but Cale decided to treat us to a musical Mad Lib! Stay tuned to find out why...

We've teased it. You've nervously awaited it. And finally, it's here.
The Tuesday Morning Blitz has been built on a number of quirky identifying features, but perhaps none more so than our love of football fashion. We're just a couple of guys that care about the visual appeal of the games we spend our Sundays watching, after all. So amid the earsplitting silence of a football offseason, it was finally time to release our official NFL Uniform Rankings. Cale and Jackson went through team by team, starting from the very bottom, and found that there were some agreements and some serious disputes. Stick around all the way through Part 1 (teams 17-32) to find out which was which!

...is this thing on?
TMB has returned from its brief hiatus to once again bring you the latest and greatest NFL news and opinions... by rehashing the NFL Draft, which happened three and a half weeks ago. The upside? We’ve got the benefit of three weeks of perspective, plus we’ve got the typical TMB spin on things you can’t get from all those brand name football podcasts! Here’s a look at the menu:

The draft is less than 48 hours away, which means it’s time for a TMB smorgasbord of pre-draft burning questions! Cale and Jackson bounced ideas off each other for a solid hour, and they’re proud to share the results. Here’s a brief synopsis of what they discussed:

Despite savage illness (Jackson) and debilitating lack of sleep (Cale), the TMB duo rallied together to put out a podcast this week for you, the fans. And the NFL news carousel has only continued to spin faster and more out of control as April has begun, so the range of this episode’s discussions was accordingly quite large!
Content warning: this week deals with some pretty serious topics, including the tragic death of a 24-year-old quarterback and the status of racial discrimination in NFL hiring practices. Swipe ahead for:

Yet another chaotic week has unfolded in the busiest NFL offseason of our lifetimes, which prompted Cale and Jackson to indeed record TMB for a third straight week. Trades, early free agency signings and articles about a certain former Jaguars coach necessitated a full breakdown of not only the week that was, but the entire offseason so far. Scroll ahead to hear about:
Winners and losers of the early offseason (9:35), including:

Last week, we recorded an offseason preview podcast. This week, about fifty newsworthy offseason things unfolded across the NFL landscape, so it seemed fitting to record another podcast! Cale and Jackson took time away from the glories of spring break to give their reactions to:

Alright, let’s get it out of the way... we recorded an offseason preview podcast the night before Calvin Ridley’s gambling suspension. Would this have made what was already an off-the-rails episode completely delirious? No doubt about it. But alas... the show goes on.
The good news is that over the course of this 89-minute tour de force, every single football team garnered at least a mention—some not so much in a positive light, but all the more reason to tune in! Jump ahead to hear offseason previews for the:

Break out the tuxes and champagne, because it’s time for the first official TMB Awards! Cale and Jackson are putting their own spin on a podcast first debuted on TwoTV Sports at the end of the 2020 season, handing out the awards the NFL is too narrow-minded to create. And bringing in special guest host, NFL enthusiast and bowling prodigy Nolan Hughes, to help determine the winners! Here is the full slate of awards allotted:

Super Bowl Sunday may have fallen a tad short in terms of the excitement on the field, but TMB is here to draw the NFL season to a riveting close! Cale and Jackson watched the game together, competed against each other in a revolutionary new game, and had thoughts on anything and everything to come from the day. The VERY wide-ranging conversation contained:

There wasn’t much happening on the football field this week, but the NFL still absolutely dominated the news cycle. Though the “Big Game” is fast approaching, the league is also at a crossroads in its diversity hiring practices, and the head coaching picture is approaching fever pitch. Cale and Jackson did their best to take a snapshot of the league as it is this Super Bowl week, and the conversation included:

Twenty-one weeks after this podcast set sail, the Super Bowl matchup is set... and it includes the Cincinnati Bengals. Cale and Jackson, floored as they were by this bulletin, made their way to the Newhouse School studios to talk about Championship Sunday. They break down:

All we can say is WOW.
The Divisional Round lived up to any expectations that could have reasonably been set, and Cale and Jackson were back in studio (!!) to make sense of it. With three games decided on last-second field goals and an overtime touchdown sealing the fourth, the material to dissect was readily available. Jump ahead to hear thoughts on:

Lots of teams clinched, lots of others folded, and one of the great receivers of the past decade did a striptease. You might say there was a lot to discuss on this week’s TMB, and Cale and Jackson did their best to make sense of it all. Some of the wild directions the conversation took on:

The football season is coming down to the wire, and that means at long last, the landscape of the NFL is starting to clear itself up a bit. This week, we witnessed some impressive wins, some demoralizing defeats, and displays of passion—some inspiring and some ugly. Cale and Jackson broke it all down, including:

In a week where everything in the NFL was in flux, TMB is proud to present an episode as full of ridiculousness as any so far. Cale and Jackson were able to keep family pets out of their home studios long enough to deliver their takes on the good teams, the bad teams, and a whole bunch in between! The topics of discussion included:

School’s out for winter break, and that means this is the last in-studio episode of TMB until the playoffs. But thanks to the football gods themselves, it was an incredible week of content to go out on! Cale and Jackson went extremely long this week as per usual, but frankly, this episode could have been seven hours and the laughs wouldn’t have stopped. Here are just a few of the highlights of the conversation:

As a November to remember officially comes to a close in professional football, Cale and Jackson were ecstatic to be back in their Newhouse School studio to talk about the wackiest events between the white lines. And as Cale said at the end of the recording, one could simply look at all the peaks in the audio waveform to determine that this episode was a hilarious one. The topics:

For the first time in the eleven-week history of the Tuesday Morning Blitz, hosts Cale and Jackson tragically had to record over Zoom, due to the minor logistical issue of 2,500 miles separating them on Monday. Yet distance is no object when two gentlemen share a passion for breaking down football storylines, so this episode promises to deliver all the zany TMB content you know and love. The topics of discussion this week were:

We’ve officially hit the double digits, friends. Week 10 (and concurrently, episode 10) brought us lots more confusion, some hideous blowouts, and a lot of enjoyable discussion topics! That meant Cale and Jackson had to spend some time in the podcast studio cranking out a podcast decked out with typical TMB hilarity. This week’s laundry list included:

We’re at the midway point of the 2021 NFL season... and we’ve come to the conclusion that we know absolutely nothing about the teams we’re watching, where things are headed or anything in between! But fearless hosts Cale and Jackson nonetheless tried their very best to draw out some kernels of truth from the mystifying week it was in professional football. This week’s Countdown includes:

Dear Friends,
We have returned with another BANGER of an episode on this fine Tuesday. We regret only to inform you that there wasn't time to put timestamps in the description due to editor/host Jackson calling a college basketball game Monday night. BUT... the Blitz is better than ever this week. MIKE EFFING WHITE is all the rage in the streets, plus a bunch of wild stuff went down Monday right before we pressed the record button. There's no better way to spend your morning, so just press the play button!
Every game was a blowout and the boys were struggling for television access, but hosts Cale Clinton (@CaleClinton) and Jackson Roberts (@jrobertsbsbl) were undeterred! They broke down the gridiron from back to front in a typically humorous TMB way. Among the topics covered from this week:
Thanks for tuning in for Episode 6. Be sure to follow @TMB_Pod on Twitter if you like football (which you probably do, if you’re reading this), and we’ll see you next Tuesday!
Did you think Week 6 was a slightly boring week of football? You might have a point... but we GUARANTEE this episode of your favorite football podcast will make up for that slightly drab Sunday. Yes, Monday Night Football might have already accomplished that feat, but of course the TMB boys hadn’t yet seen that game! So instead, we talked about:

Fear not... Cale and Jackson were back in the same living room on Sunday afternoon. And as it turns out, that afternoon happened to be one of the craziest sports fan experiences in recent memory. So it was safe to assume the two would have a lot to discuss in the podcast studio on Monday. Here were some of the topics covered:
Thanks for tuning in for Episode 5. Be sure to follow @TMB_Pod on Twitter if you like football (which you probably do, if you’re reading this), and we’ll see you next Tuesday!
Cale and Jackson were overjoyed to talk football after spending their Sundays watching on different screens for the first time all season. Week 4 brought some incredible football and some puzzlers (as usual), and the takes were flying from all angles. Topics include:
Thanks for tuning into Episode 4! Follow the show @TMB_Pod on Twitter, and maybe follow the hosts (@CaleClinton and @jrobertsbsbl) while you're at it! Until next Tuesday...
Week 3 is in the books, and Cale and Jackson are excited to be out of Cale’s living room and in the podcast studio! They broke down the week from top to bottom, including (but not limited to):
Thanks for tuning into Episode 3! Be sure to follow @TMB_Pod on Twitter for more updates throughout the week, and head on over to twotvsports.com for the written version of the Tuesday Morning Blitz you all know and love! Signing off for now...
Cale and Jackson spent all of Sunday on Cale's couch watching football just for you all, so you'd better love this episode of TMB! It was a hectic afternoon and evening around the league as games went down to the wire, so the guys weren't short on material for their weekly awards. Highlights from the show include:
The Tuesday Morning Blitz was read by tens (maybe even dozens!) of adoring football fans in its inaugural 2020 season, so host Jackson Roberts decided it needed to be converted to a podcast. Cohost Cale Clinton writes about the sport for Football Outsiders, and he's also Jackson's classmate at the Newhouse School of Communications. So the two figured they'd join forces and electrify the football podcasting universe, which feels inevitable after listening back to Episode 1. Some things that were discussed:
Plus, we made our wild predictions for Monday Night Football, which alllllmost came true, and signed off in style. We're stoked to bring you 21 more episodes on Tuesdays from now until the second week of February!
