Beltway Football
03/15/21 • 35 min
JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to look ahead to one of the best weeks on the NFL calendar: Free agency. In this Washington Football Talk, the guys answer pressing free agency questions such as, "Will the team sign a QB?" "Will they hand out a contract that tops $80 million?" and "What under-the-radar name is worth keeping an eye on?" They also go through JP's Twitter to find a few more inquiries to kick around. If you like podcasts where Pete's chicken tenders get poor reviews and Mitch gets mad at JP for not knowing what a prism is, then this is the episode for you. And be sure to stick with us these next few months, because things are about to get real fun.

THE SCHERFF GOT TAGGED POD: Everything you need to know about what Washington did with their All-Pro guard
Beltway Football
03/09/21 • 38 min
The primary topic for this Washington Football Talk is Brandon Scherff and his new franchise tag. Whether you're delighted by the news or upset by it, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to walk you through what it means for both the player and the organization. Is the $18 million that the Burgundy and Gold is set to pay Scherff prohibitive or just the price of doing business? What are the chances of a long-term agreement? And how much does Mitch love that an O-lineman is at the center of the show? You'll get all those answers and more, as well as some Dak Prescott analysis and a random Ronald Darby segment. If you like podcasts where Mitch and Pete discuss birds and JP zings Pete about being so coddled (for the 145th time), then this is the episode for you.

Covering all sorts of topics, from Washington's cap situation to Kyle Trask's fit to, yes, a Trent Williams reunion
Beltway Football
03/05/21 • 42 min
Nothing too, too pressing has happened as of late with the Burgundy and Gold, so JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey used this edition of Washington Football Talk to run down a list of storylines that will no doubt interest you. To begin, the three look at the team's cap situation, as well as what other teams will have to do in order to be compliant with the cap, in a free agency lookahead. After that, the guys touch on Kyle Trask potentially making it to the club in the second round of the draft, Chris Cooley's thoughts on a possible Trent Williams reunion and Terry McLaurin's toughness. They then close with JP making one hell of an Ashburn Syndrome-y statement and a recap of the 20 Questions segment they did on JP's radio show. If you like podcasts where you learn about one host's feet and get some hurricane analogies, then this is the episode for you.

Reacting to (what's basically) the end of the Alex Smith era in Washington and recapping a truly epic poker weekend
Beltway Football
03/02/21 • 49 min
The first half of this Washington Football Talk is centered on Alex Smith, who's expected to be released by the Burgundy and Gold soon. So, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey react to that news, do their best to grade the 2018 trade that brought Smith to the franchise and then assess how they're feeling about the QB room's future moving forward. Then, once the Smith stuff wraps, the trio recaps what was an unbelievable poker weekend for Mitch and JP, and especially JP. You're going to want to hear about the run he went on on Saturday night (and how Pete repeatedly got stonewalled by Rob Gronkowski). If you like podcasts where Pete's fear of the ocean is exposed and there's some random reminiscing on some of the guys' favorite road trips from the past few years, then this is the episode for you.

LIVE POD: Covering the latest on Alex Smith, Cam Newton and Russell Wilson, plus answering questions at Ourisman Fairfax
Beltway Football
02/26/21 • 57 min
JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey recorded this Washington Football Talk from Ourisman Fairfax of Toyota, which is just a lovely place to record a show and also buy some cars. During this installment, you'll hear the three of them go through the latest on Alex Smith's GQ comments, Washington's lack of interest in Cam Newton, what to make of Russell Wilson's dilemma and more. Then, they allow members of the massive crowd at the dealership to ask questions, which range from draft needs at pick No. 19 to Jeff Bezos' possible involvement with the franchise. If you like podcasts where Pete broaches the idea of buying not one but two cars and there is an excessive amount of timestamping, then this is the episode for you.

2021 QBX DRAFT POD: Trying to assemble the best three-man QB room by picking from a list of all the vets and rookies
Beltway Football
02/22/21 • 48 min
This Washington Football Talk show mainly deals with the first-ever QBX Draft, an event that's both fun and chaotic. JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey welcome on fellow co-workers Ryan Homler and Ethan Cadeaux, and the five of them go through a three-round draft where they each try to come up with the best collection of signal callers possible but also stay within their budgets. The best part? Everyone is available to choose from, including superstars, random vets and draft picks. Once that wraps up, and JP Kiper grades each host's haul, the guys toss to yet another awesome interview featuring Brian Mitchell. This time, B-Mitch talks to Washington GM Martin Mayhew and the two reminisce about the massive impact Bobby Mitchell had on their lives and Mayhew's career in particular. If you like podcasts where JP, Mitch and Pete realize they've been mispronouncing both Ryan and Ethan's last names for quite some time and there's a weird Mike Vanderjagt side conversation, then this is the episode for you.

A real look at Marcus Mariota, a chat about Alex Smith's days being numbered and an interview from B-Mitch with Jason Wright
Beltway Football
02/18/21 • 79 min
JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are back again and they're here to rant about how much they hate computer passwords. That's true, too — but before they get to that, they begin with some more "Tesla talk" and, more importantly, a serious look at Marcus Mariota. The hosts weigh him versus Derek Carr and debate whether he'd be worth taking a flier on or not. Once they finish up that segment on the current Raider, JP brings up a story he wrote about Alex Smith and Kyle Allen, which leads into a chat about why they all feel that Smith's days in D.C. are numbered, though there's a disagreement on how many days remain for him with the franchise. Lastly, they finish up their portion of the show with a round of FUs, which includes the aforementioned password complaining as well as a few other issues you'll relate to. And to close, they toss to a really good interview that Brian Mitchell got with Washington team president Jason Wright, where Wright explains who and what shaped him into the person he is now and how he hopes to act as a role model for the Black community in the future. If you like podcasts where Mitch sings some "Frozen" and there's a touching moment between Pete and JP, then this is the episode for you.

EMERGENCY POD: Curtis Samuel is coming to Washington and the offense is about to get a lot more dangerous
Beltway Football
03/18/21 • 37 min
Not one, not two, but three-straight EMERGENCY PODS have now occurred, as JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey gathered around yet again, this time to react to Washington landing Curtis Samuel. In this installment, the guys explain how Samuel will make the offense so much more difficult to defend, how he'll fit in among the other weapons and how his arrival caps off what's been a super week for the franchise. Also, at the end, they take some time to say bye to Washington legend and pod legend Nick Sundberg. If you like podcasts where Mitch has a spot-on comparison for Samuel but then later gets testy with JP over a stupid argument that only this show would care about, then this is the episode for you.
