Jay and Dre are once again joined by Jerry the Wrestling Expert to chat about...just what the heck is WWE doing in the build to this WrestleMania.

The 98th Academy Awards go down (hopefully drama free) this coming Sunday, and the guys manage to preview the Oscars without throwing out ill-timed loud racial slurs.

Will Sinners suck the blood out of the competition or will One Battle After Another hunt everyone...

Jay and Dre put a bow on the NFL 2025-26 season by naming the best and worst of the Super Bowl and the week after, giving proper credit to the Dark Side, the new World champions of football, and the team Jay rode to the season handicapping win over Dre, the Seattle Seahawks.

Jay and Dre recap the NFL's Divisional Round Weekend, not a fun one for Bo Nix, Josh Allen, or Dre, who lost all his picks. Then they preview Championship Sunday: Can the Broncos overcome losing their quarterback and win with Jarrett Stidham, or will Drake Maye and the Patriots go to the Big Game? Will Matthew Stafford's Rams win their third straight road playoff game, or will Sam Darnold&...

The wild Wild Card weekend gets its proper awards from Dre and Jay, who vote for their best and worst in the NFL for the first round of the playoffs.

Jay and Dre hand out the final regular season awards for NFL Week 18, then get you ready for the opening weekend of playoff football. Four road teams are favored to take down division champs. In the traditional "Please exit the playoffs ASAP" early Saturday spot, the Panthers are massive underdogs to the Rams, just like they were Week 13 when Carolina won. The Packers are favored to knoc...

Jay and Dre did not start NFL Week 17 well, correctly picking only one of the three home teams that covered the spread as underdogs, and Jay even burned a Lock on one of the losers, clinching the Locks for Dre this season. They try to do better with the rest of the slate, which fires another eight road favorites off. It's do or die for the Ravens in Green Bay and maybe for the Bucs in Miami. A...

The start of Saturday pro football is always an indicator of the holiday season, and for a lot of the country, the start of wintry conditions, which we've seen in several games. Jay and Dre hand out the hardware for NFL Week 15 before digging in to Week 16's picks. The Buccaneers and Panthers do battle for the top of the NFC South, the Jaguars and Broncos tussle for positioning atop the AF...

In a development straight out of Eastbound & Down, 44-year-old Philip Rivers is actually going to come off the couch and start at quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts. Which of course begs the question: How horrible are the CFL and XFL and arena-league QBs who can't get that phone call from Shane Steichen? Jay and Dre cover that and other weird developments in the NFL during Week 14 befo...

Jay and Dre pop in after Turkey Day to provide their insights for the remaining NFL Week 13 slate. They pick all the games, whether they involve injured QBs trying to gut their teams to victory (Colts vs. Texans, Bucs vs. Cards, Steelers vs. Bills), or QBs replacing hurt QBs trying to show out despite the boys reverse jinx (Let's go Max, you're the best QB alive!).

Jay and Dre look back on a contentious Week 12 in the NFL, and ironically, they agreed on several awards after a week in which they disagreed on every pick save three. Then they pick the three Thanksgiving Day games and Black Friday. Two games with the air of desperation lead off Turkey Day as the Packers and Lions battle for control of the NFC North, then the Chiefs and Cowboys battle for playoff...

The boys have some juice for Spitgate 2, poor Shedeur Sanders, and Cam Skattebo haters, among many other topics for their NFL Week 11 awards. Then things really get spicy for the Week 12 picks. They have their first-ever Contingency-Off as former Bears "owner" Aaron Rodgers threatens to play through a broken wrist for his Steelers. Which side is Dre on if Rodgers starts? The opposite sid...

Jay and Dre give out the hardware for the freak week, then pick games for Week 11, which will have a top-notch battle f...

A shadow hung over the NFL this week after the Thursday news cycle was dominated by the senseless death by suicide of Cowboys DL Marshon Kneeland. It was yet another reminder that a man's happiness cannot be judged from afar if he is dealing with clouds that we can't see. Jay and Dre look back on the rest of Week 9 as well before diving in to their picks for Week 10, which has a return to...

The unusually large margins of victory colored the NFL's Week 8, which saw every game end in a double-digit win with the exception of the Jets rallying from down double digits to beat the Bengals. Jay and Dre award the best and worst of a crazy week before picking Week 9. Do they like any of the quarterbacks returning from injury (Penix, Daniels, McCarthy, Young)? Do they like the rookie being...

What the bleep was that Giants-Broncos game?? The most bananas game of this bananas NFL season was, naturally, discussed greatly by Jay and Dre during their recap of Week 7. After the guys hand out their hardware, they make their picks for Week 8, which has some divisional rematches (Giants-Eagles, Titans-Colts), some backup QB drama (Snoop Huntley's Ravens hosting the Bears, Kirk Cousins lead...
