Football America!
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.

NFL KICKOFF SHOW: The Season is Now with Dan Hanzus 04.09.2025 55:18
Glass half full, Bill Belichick - at least now you know she’s not into you for your coaching. Must be your rugged good looks.

Climbing Mt. Lombardi with Geoff Schwartz 22.08.2025 53:54

Coaches are fond of saying “No one can ever take away that ring.” B...
The Things that Matter w/ Greg Olsen 15.08.2025 53:14

Well, unless you believe Skylar Thompson’s three touchdown performance over the week...
