Tuesday Morning Blitz

How about a new podcast series? TMB is endeavoring to do deep dives on individual teams and their storylines for as many football franchises as we can throughout the season. It’s a chance to talk to people who know these teams as well as anybody and explore topics our normal format typically does not. To kick it off, we had a tremendous conversation about the prohibitive Super Bowl favorites, the...

The Tuesday Morning Blitz was, for the first time, recorded at an hour so late that it actually bled into Tuesday morning. With that came one of our most comprehensive, totally unhinged breakdowns of a week of action in our history, which we are now proud to share with you. Click onward to hear: Which early season surprises we could be convinced are signs of a real trend (2:45) Cale’s breakdown of...

Ep. 36: Snyder’s Trebuchet The return of football Sunday was everything we could have asked for... and then some. So naturally, we were buzzing when we hopped on Zoom close to midnight to deliver a Week 1 pod with all the TMB segments you know and love. It's a tried and true TMB, and it's glorious. Listen ahead for: How thrilled we are to have regular season football back in our lives (2:39) Which...

Predictably, it happened… TMB crossed the two-hour mark for the first time in its history. But with sixteen teams to tackle and special guest Nolan Hughes along for the ride, how could we not run up the score a bit? It’s our AFC season preview and it’s glorious. Tune in for: AFC East preseason storylines (1:13) AFC East favorite prop bets (24:41) AFC North preseason storylines (35:22) AFC North fa...

In the words of the great Cale Clinton, the August air is starting to feel a little crisp. It’s nearly football season and that means TMB has the duty of preparing you for any and every twist that could crop up along the way. This week, we welcome first-time guest Tosh Meyers, Packer superfan and hot take artist, to discuss all things NFC, including top storylines, favorite prop bets and postseaso...

It’s a training camp extravaganza, TMB style! Cale and Jackson are taking a break from their big boy jobs to deliver their thoughts on all things early August, before a new season of TMB truly gets into swing with the arrival of football season.

The time has finally come... Part Two of our official 2022 NFL Uniform Rankings is live and undoubtedly healthy debate shall ensue.

Many thanks for listening to Episode 32! Be sure to follow @TMB_Pod, @CaleClinton and @jrobe...

We've teased it. You've nervously awaited it. And finally, it's here. The Tuesday Morning Blitz has been built on a number of quirky identifying features, but perhaps none more so than our love of football fashion. We're just a couple of guys that care about the visual appeal of the games we spend our Sundays watching, after all. So amid the earsplitting silence of a football offseason, it was fin...

...is this thing on?  TMB has returned from its brief hiatus to once again bring you the latest and greatest NFL news and opinions... by rehashing the NFL Draft, which happened three and a half weeks ago. The upside? We’ve got the benefit of three weeks of perspective, plus we’ve got the typical TMB spin on things you can’t get from all those brand name football podcasts! Here’s a look at the...

The draft is less than 48 hours away, which means it’s time for a TMB smorgasbord of pre-draft burning questions! Cale and Jackson bounced ideas off each other for a solid hour, and they’re proud to share the results. Here’s a brief synopsis of what they discussed: Which of the top edge rushers in this class will pan out the best (2:05) When the first quarterback will come off the board (6:13) Whi...

Despite savage illness (Jackson) and debilitating lack of sleep (Cale), the TMB duo rallied together to put out a podcast this week for you, the fans. And the NFL news carousel has only continued to spin faster and more out of control as April has begun, so the range of this episode’s discussions was accordingly quite large! Content warning: this week deals with some pretty serious topics, includi...

Yet another chaotic week has unfolded in the busiest NFL offseason of our lifetimes, which prompted Cale and Jackson to indeed record TMB for a third straight week. Trades, early free agency signings and articles about a certain former Jaguars coach necessitated a full breakdown of not only the week that was, but the entire offseason so far. Scroll ahead to hear about: Deshaun Watson’s trade to th...

Last week, we recorded an offseason preview podcast. This week, about fifty newsworthy offseason things unfolded across the NFL landscape, so it seemed fitting to record another podcast! Cale and Jackson took time away from the glories of spring break to give their reactions to: Tom Brady retiring from retirement after the time period of one biblical flood (0:45) Aaron Rodgers’ gran...

Alright, let’s get it out of the way... we recorded an offseason preview podcast the night before Calvin Ridley’s gambling suspension. Would this have made what was already an off-the-rails episode completely delirious? No doubt about it. But alas... the show goes on. The good news is that over the course of this 89-minute tour de force, every single football team garnered at least a mention—some...

Break out the tuxes and champagne, because it’s time for the first official TMB Awards! Cale and Jackson are putting their own spin on a podcast first debuted on TwoTV Sports at the end of the 2020 season, handing out the awards the NFL is too narrow-minded to create. And bringing in special guest host, NFL enthusiast and bowling prodigy Nolan Hughes, to help determine the winners! Here is the ful...

Super Bowl Sunday may have fallen a tad short in terms of the excitement on the field, but TMB is here to draw the NFL season to a riveting close! Cale and Jackson watched the game together, competed against each other in a revolutionary new game, and had thoughts on anything and everything to come from the day. The VERY wide-ranging conversation contained: Knee-jerk reactions on the Super Bowl an...

There wasn’t much happening on the football field this week, but the NFL still absolutely dominated the news cycle. Though the “Big Game” is fast approaching, the league is also at a crossroads in its diversity hiring practices, and the head coaching picture is approaching fever pitch. Cale and Jackson did their best to take a snapshot of the league as it is this Super Bowl week, and the conv...

Twenty-one weeks after this podcast set sail, the Super Bowl matchup is set... and it includes the Cincinnati Bengals. Cale and Jackson, floored as they were by this bulletin, made their way to the Newhouse School studios to talk about Championship Sunday. They break down: Just how amazing it is to us that the Bengals have made it to a Super Bowl (0:14) An unfathomable second-half collap...

All we can say is WOW. The Divisional Round lived up to any expectations that could have reasonably been set, and Cale and Jackson were back in studio (!!) to make sense of it. With three games decided on last-second field goals and an overtime touchdown sealing the fourth, the material to dissect was readily available. Jump ahead to hear thoughts on: The QB battle of the millennium at Arrowh...

“Super” Wild Card Weekend is in the rearview mirror, and a Divisional Round that we hope provides much more compelling football is quickly approaching!

Lots of teams clinched, lots of others folded, and one of the great receivers of the past decade did a striptease. You might say there was a lot to discuss on this week’s TMB, and Cale and Jackson did their best to make sense of it all. Some of the wild directions the conversation took on: Perhaps the most surprising result of the week, a comeback victory by the AFC North Champion Bengals! (1:36)...

The football season is coming down to the wire, and that means at long last, the landscape of the NFL is starting to clear itself up a bit. This week, we witnessed some impressive wins, some demoralizing defeats, and displays of passion—some inspiring and some ugly. Cale and Jackson broke it all down, including: Why Cale thinks the Cowboys are “BACK back” (1:09) The Bengals FINALLY bringing some c...

In a week where everything in the NFL was in flux, TMB is proud to present an episode as full of ridiculousness as any so far. Cale and Jackson were able to keep family pets out of their home studios long enough to deliver their takes on the good teams, the bad teams, and a whole bunch in between! The topics of discussion included: A dominant Dan Campbell win over Arizona and just how much trouble...

School’s out for winter break, and that means this is the last in-studio episode of TMB until the playoffs. But thanks to the football gods themselves, it was an incredible week of content to go out on! Cale and Jackson went extremely long this week as per usual, but frankly, this episode could have been seven hours and the laughs wouldn’t have stopped. Here are just a few of the highlig...
