After getting a bit off schedule, Redskins Talk is back with this episode that is hosted by JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey. Following the shocking discovery that Rich wasn't checking in from the La-Z-Boy for the first time in who knows how long, JP moves the pod into a couple of solid football topics. First, Pete explains an issue he thinks is flying under the radar that's related to the...

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and an extra energetic Brian Mitchell are the voices who'll take you through this chapter of Redskins Talk.

Among the questions asked about Gruden in the discussion: Does he deserve t...

A recovering JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler joined up for this mid-week, football heavy edition of Redskins Talk.

This is ALSO a VERY COOL episode of Redskins Talk, listeners!!! While crashing the Eastern Motors commercial shoot, JP Finlay caught up with Jamison Crowder, Alex Smith, Ryan Kerrigan and Josh Norman, and in this pod, you'll hear his interviews with the DEFENSIVE players — and these interviews are fun because they're largely about non-football things. With Kerrigan, JP brings up things like the Ca...

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey didn't reserve the studio in time for this podcast, so instead, they jerry-rigged some phones to make this episode of Redskins Talk happen. After bouncing around on various topics, including Pete reaching 1,000 Twitter followers, JP randomly promoting a mechanic and a Vince Lombardi joke gone kinda wrong, the three jump into a Jordan Reed discussion. Using c...

JP Finlay and an in-studio Rich Tandler open up with a brief intro before getting into a long interview with longtime NFL writer Don Banks, who is about as respected as they come in the business. As a Bostonian, Banks is a good guy to provide an outsider's opinion on the franchise, and he does so about their draft, Derriu...

The Redskins Talk crew opens up May with a fun edition of the program. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey make this episode happen from three different states and open it up by having a long chat about Bruce Allen.
