NFL fandom is a psychological condition. We’re just the first show willing to diagnose it. Every week on Hometown Blues, A.M. Pfeffer sits down with a comedian and devoted NFL fan to unpack their team, their history, their irrational beliefs, and the emotional damage they’ve accumulated along the way. Then we open the Hometown Blues Institute of Football Psychology for a series of clinical assessments before delivering an official diagnosis, prognosis, and completely unlicensed course of treatment. Football isn’t just a game. Apparently, it’s a condition.

    49ers Fan Therapy with Comedian Steve Furey | Hometown Blues Ep. 2

    San Francisco 49ers fans have spent three decades convincing themselves they're nothing like Dallas Cowboys fans. The Hometown Blues Institute of Football Psychology would like to examine that claim. Comedian and lifelong 49ers fan Steve Furey joins A.M. Pfeffer to trace the origins of his fandom, talk about life as a comedian who still has to organize Sundays around the Niners, and confront the current psychological state of San Francisco football. Along the way: Jed York's unusual offseason, Kyle Shanahan's status as an “offensive genius,” a receiving corps requiring its own medical chart, Christian McCaffrey's insistence that everything is fine—and whether 49ers fans should finally be subject to the same championship statute of limitations as Cowboys fans. Then Steve enters the Institute for a series of clinical assessments designed to determine what decades of 49ers football have actually done to him. Final diagnosis: Emotional Hedging Disorder (DSM 1.05). The prognosis? You'll have to listen. Hometown Blues is where NFL fandom meets group therapy. Every NFL fan thinks their team is the problem. We're here to determine what it's done to you. Hosted by A.M. Pfeffer.New episodes weekly from X-Rayted Sports Network.

    Detroit Lions Fans Need Therapy | Willie Simon | Hometown Blues Ep. 1

    Detroit Lions fans have survived 0–16, Barry Sanders walking away, Matthew Stafford winning a Super Bowl somewhere else, and decades of emotional instability. And somehow, Willie Simon still believes this is the year. Comedian and lifelong Lions fan Willie Simon joins A.M. Pfeffer for the first-ever Hometown Blues psychological evaluation—covering Dan Campbell, Detroit’s Super Bowl expectations, the emotional scars of Lions fandom, and just how far one fan is willing to go for his team. Then we open the Hometown Blues Institute of Football Psychology, where Willie undergoes three clinical assessments before receiving his official diagnosis and completely unlicensed course of treatment. Diagnosis: DSM 1.01 — Hope Dependency Syndrome. Hometown Blues is NFL therapy for fans who definitely need it. New episodes every week. Follow:A.M.
