Football America!
Football America!
Podcast Description
Football America is a show about stories that matter—discussed by people who don’t. Why? Because this beautiful game deserves all of the spotlight. Football raised us. We obsess over it. We fight about it. We name our dogs after retired players, then name our children after those dogs. We talk football the way Sinatra sang songs: with conviction. And drunk. Each week, Dave Dameshek’s embarrassing habit of assigning meaning to frivolous stats is on full display as he is joined by a host of celebrities, players, and well-meaning people who play experts on television. Hilarity ensues. Debate follows. It’s a love letter to football written in spicy mustard. Football America! is synonymous (see what we did there?). This isn’t just a sport. It's our national identity… but it’s also a sport.

New York is buzzing, the world has soccer fever, and Jonathan Zaslow is in the building! This week, Zaslow stops by to check the temperature on the NFL offseason. Actually, that’s not true. Things are going so well that he’s reacting to the Knicks’ improbable comeback with a wildly hot take: Trade De’Aaron Fox! Plus, we’re so swept up in World Cup mania that we’re officially rebranding the show to Fútbol América—starting with a definitive ranking of the greatest soccer haircuts in history.
