The Sports Marshall

Marsh's own football season is over, but he's still excited about football. And this week he's excited about an amazing team with the best defense ever: the 1985 Chicago Bears. Plus Marsh fills us in on what he's been up to lately, and Grandma tells a story about a friend who got free tickets to the Bear's appearance in Super Bowl XX,

Marsh wanted to talk about the great Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson. Turns out Grandma hadn't heard of him, even though he'd been on Dancing With the Stars -- but she was impressed after just a bit of research. It took Marsh and Grandma a while to get to Calvin, but it was still football...so it was still good. And thanks for listening!

Marsh and Grandma discuss which NFL and college football teams will end the season at the top of the heap, and talk about NFL dynasties. Plus Marsh names the most underrated NFL player of all time.

From lots of cheesecake, to teeth grillz, to stolen chicken wings, NFL players have made some high-end purchases. Marsh and Grandma discuss that, plus a bit more.

Marshall and Grandma discuss how the College Football Playoffs will change in the 2024-2025 season, plus give a little history on how college football champions have been selected in the past. Marsh also gives some shoutouts and discusses his love of a candy from Buffalo. He starts the pod by creatively running into the room, which makes absolutely no sense if your version if the the audio-only on...

Football Fanatic and Football Expert Marshall Gibson and his Grandma are back to kick off Season Two. The only change is now Marshall is 12 years old. Grandma, however, is still not yet 80. Marsh talks about topics listeners have asked him to discuss, plus he and Grandma talk about a few weird crimes involving sports figures. If you are listening but not watching, Marshall's intro involves a c...

Today is fan comment day, plus Marsh discusses where his Super Bowl predictions went right (or mostly wrong), and talks about exciting stuff that has already happened this off season. We're going off season as well ... but will talk at you again when Season Two of our Pod starts this summer. From Marshall and Grandma: thanks from the bottom of our hearts for listening!

It's almost time for the Super Bowl! Marsh and Grandma discuss the conference championship games that got the 49ers and the Chiefs to the biggest game of the year. And Marsh, of course, makes predictions. Plus, what will Marshall do once football season is over? Answer: He really doesn't know.

Last week eight NFL teams had a chance to go to the Super Bowl. Now it's down to four -- and Marsh predicts who will still be standing when it's down to two. As for Grandma, she called Baltimore's team the "Baltimore Raisins." And what in the heck is that weird background noise? Maybe Marsh pushing around his soda can?

Marsh explains some big upsets while Grandma says two teams got mugged this last week.

Marsh starts off by discussing his two newest interests: wresting and picking locks. Then he and Grandma kick around ideas about who might be named the Most Valuable Player for this year's NFL season. Will it be Tua of the Dolphins? Could a rookie like CJ Stroud get the award? Join us and see what Marsh thinks. :

Marshall and Grandma's picks for football games worth talking about this week include the Dolphins v. Cowboys, Browns v. Texans and Utah Utes v. Northwestern. Marsh also talked about the Los Angeles Raiders but Grandma thinks he meant the Las Vegas Raiders. That team and where they've been is just confusing. Plus there are some pretty silly college bowl game names out there... anybody goin...

Grandma still hasn't figured out how to edit the podcast with the our software ... so this episode is coming to you with all "ums" intact and probably a minute longer than it should be. But it's still a chance to hear Marsh and Grandma praise Houston Texans rookie quarterback CJ Stroud, discuss this year's Heisman nominees, and talk concussion protocol. Plus, Marsh thankfully...

Marshall and Grandma discuss four sports scandals, including the recent University of Michigan sign stealing scandal. Plus they explain why they've been absent from the world of podcasting.

If Jim Brown and Jerry Rice had a baby, it would be Christian McCaffrey. And Derrick Henry is an amazing stiff armer who loves his Grandma. Listen to Marshall tell his own Grandma all about these two great running backs.

This week, Marshall goes “freestyle” and talks with Grandma about a variety of topics, including his own most recent game (he got horse collared), Fantasy Football (he said he sucks), the “Bad Quarterback Cycle,” and the Elvis of football wearing panty hose. Plus watching football can be bad for Grandma’s health. And we apologize to Joe Namath for talking about him in the past tense, ’cause he is...

Marshall and Grandma discuss the Miami Dolphins high-scoring win over the Denver Broncos and Ohio State's literal last-second win over Notre Dame. Plus, refs didn't want Ohio State to feel disconcerted and Notre Dame says ten players are plenty. Corrections: Ryan Day has lost 6 games in his 5 years at Ohio State (that was Grandma's bad) and the Dolphins scored 5 touchdowns running and...

Marshall discusses some iconic NFL player nicknames. Plus he talks about his own latest football game, how not to fumble, and Utah beats UCLA (but it wasn't very exciting.)

Marshall discusses the Minnesota Vikings with Grandma. Turns out he's big on Justin Jefferson but not so high on Kirk Cousins or the Minnesota defense. FYI, Fran Tarkenton was named MVP in 1975.

This "away" episode was recorded September 7. In it, Grandma and Marshall both mangle the score of the Ohio State-Indiana game (it was actually 23-3), and Marsh takes over as podcast host to interview a special guest who is a huge fan of Dolphins and of Marshall.

Marshall recaps playing his first two games, names the three biggest crybabies in the NFL, and more (including stories from Grandma about football mishaps Marshall knows not to repeat.)

A lot -- and we mean a lot -- of great athletes had/have the number 32 on their jerseys. Marshall discusses who and why. Our apologies to Franco Harris for calling him a linebacker, and to Grandma for not bothering to introduce her.

This week in what we call "Marshall's Madness," Grandma poses never before heard (by Marshall) questions, and Marsh gives his unfiltered opinion. The best quarter backs, the best receivers, the best after practice snack (Grandma was kind of surprised by the answer to that one), plus some off the wall topics and more.

Marshall talks with his Grandma (but forgets to introduce her until the end of the pod) about the past, present, and future of the Arizona Cardinals. Also, Marshall went to a football team pool party, and Grandma updates him on the Pac 12, Big 12, and the Big 10.

Marshall discusses 49ers quarterbacks, the contents of his new sound booth (it's his Mom's closet), updates us on how his Mighty Might football is going, and more. Plus his Grandma says she's really not 80 years old.
