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. Hilarity ensues. Debate follows. It’s a love letter to football written in spicy mustard. Football America! is synonymous (see what we did there?). This isn’t just a sport. It's our national identity… but it’s also a sport.2025 Football

    Don't Answer the Phone! Plus Daniel Jeremiah’s Mahomes Bombshell
    Mar 20 2026
    Dave offers advice to the 2026 NFL Draft class: “When the team calls you, don’t answer on the first ring... too desperate.” Then we head out to Draft Mountain and chat with the one man who sits at its peak: Daniel Jeremiah from The Move The Sticks Podcast. He chats all things draft, including fun revisionist history. He also reveals the two quarterbacks he'd pick over Patrick Mahomes. Yes, there are two.

  • Football’s New Evolution: Why Star Centers & TEs Rule the Modern Game

    Football’s New Evolution: Why Star Centers & TEs Rule the Modern Game
    Mar 13 2026
    Former NFL Lineman Geoff Schwartz joins the show to tell the story of how his wedding day landed on the same day as legal tampering. How he was with his groomsmen, readying to walk the aisle while making the decision to join the NY Giants. Then Geoff gives his thoughts on why having a star center and star tight end is the latest chapter in the continuing evolution of professional football. He says it's in response to the plethora of incredible pass rushers. He adds that all the talk about how hard it is on the players to move is ridiculous. You're rich. You're fine. Then Director Bryan Bishop stops by to chat the Academy Awards. His documentary, Growth, is a must watch. He says One Battle After Another is a lock, and thinks that the drop off of Hamnet is for the best. As Vince Lombardi once said, "It ain't bragging if you done it." Dave Dameshek and the gang did just that on this episode of Football America! (NOTE: This episode was recorded before the Kyler Murray trade to the Vikings.)

  • The NFL Trade Bonanza (feat. Carmen Vitali and JD Bunkis)

    The NFL Trade Bonanza (feat. Carmen Vitali and JD Bunkis)
    Mar 6 2026
    Dave Dameshek opens the show by answering the question: which QB draft class is the best in the history of people. Then Carmen Vitali and JD Bunkis join the show to talk about all the latest moves of the 2026 NFL trade. They get past the headlines and into why these teams make the decisions they do. They look at how GMs construct teams and why roster construction is a science, but an inexact science. Dave then uses a fact about Patriot fans (how they lament more than any other football fans and will whine about Drake Maye's injury for the rest of time) as a way chat about the gold medal hockey game. Would Canada have won if they put Sidney Crosby on the ice? The answer touches on the racial makeup of Canada and why French Canadians aren't pulling their weight in the goal. Yes, we go there. And then we wind our way back to NFL trades. It's Football America time! (NOTE: Recorded on Thursday at 1pm ET.) AUDIO Football America! is available wherever you listen to podcasts.
