    Merril Hoge Nearly Lost His Life to Bad Medical Care — Here Is What Worries Him About Jalen Hurts.   

    The Eagles knew Jalen Hurts had a blood clot in his calf before their game in London. He played anyway, after reportedly going about 36 hours without sleep, then flew home with the team. Now he's out for the season. Merril Hoge, who nearly lost his life after a team doctor cleared him over the phone in 1994, says the Eagles have some hard questions to answer.

Get $20 off your full price purchase @chubbies with the code OGFB at https://www.chubbiesshorts.com/OGFB #chubbiespod #adventure On the first OG FB Extra, Trey Wingo and Merril Hoge break down the Jalen Hurts health crisis. On Monday, the Eagles and Hurts' agent announced he has deep vein thrombosis and blood clots in both lungs. The good news: his prognosis is very good, and he's expected to make a full recovery. Merril has lived this. In 1994, five days after a severe concussion against the Chiefs, he was cleared to play over the phone. A few weeks later, another hit ended his career and nearly took his life. His point: it's usually not the injury that's the problem, it's the care you get. Keeping a player awake before a violent game and putting him on a transatlantic flight with a known clot are decisions the Eagles' medical staff and front office will have to explain. Trey and Merril also get into how the Miami Heat protected Chris Bosh from himself, why it's on organizations to protect players who will always say they want to play, and what the Eagles need to say publicly now. Merril's advice: tell the whole truth, own the mistakes, and have a plan going forward. The complete OG Football Show drops Tuesday with Stink, breaking down all of Week 6.

    Mark Schlereth Tells Ben Johnson to Stop It | Challenge Flags

    Mark Schlereth has one message for Bears head coach Ben Johnson: just stop it. Sponsored by Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/r/OGFB Use code OGFB and get a free $55 when you trade $25. For a limited time, our listeners get 50% off FOR LIFE, Free Shipping, AND 3 Free Gifts at Mars Men at https://mengotomars.com On this week’s Challenge Flags, the OG Football Show panel of Trey Wingo, Mark Schlereth, Merril Hoge and Damien Woody each challenge a player, coach, unit or team heading into Week 6 of the NFL season. Stink’s flag goes to Ben Johnson, who has spent his time in Chicago talking trash about the Green Bay Packers. Stink loves it as a broadcaster. As a former player, he has a problem with it: Johnson is writing checks his players have to cash. The coach doesn’t have to block anybody or tackle anybody, but every word he says ends up on the other team’s bulletin board. Green Bay had all week to rally around it, and the Packers beat the Bears 31-7 at Lambeau. Players are simple creatures, Stink says, and that kind of motivation lands. Merril has a history lesson for Johnson too: go look at how it turned out for Jerry Glanville. Also in this episode: • Trey Wingo challenges Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker and the Dallas defense to figure out a run defense that has gotten worse since the Micah Parsons trade. • Merril Hoge challenges the Philadelphia Eagles to get Nick Sirianni’s back, after their coach took the blame for the loss to Jacksonville, with Carolina up next. • Damien Woody challenges the Washington Commanders to answer for the clock-management collapse against the Giants, with a road trip to San Francisco on Monday Night Football. Talk is cheap until somebody else has to back it up. Stop it, Ben. Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/R/OGFB Disclaimer: 18+ only. Restrictions and eligibility requirements apply.

    NFL Refs Need to Stop Making the Game About Themselves | Challenge Flags

    Trey Wingo tells NFL referees to stop making the game about themselves, after the NFL suspended line judge Jeff Seeman for two games and referee Adrian Hill for one game for unprofessional conduct toward players. Sponsored by Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/r/OGFB Use code OGFB and get a free $55 when you trade $25. On this week's Challenge Flags, the OG Football Show panel of Trey Wingo, Mark Schlereth, Merril Hoge and Damien Woody each challenge a player, coach, unit or team heading into Week 5 of the NFL season. Trey's flag goes to the league's officials. The suspensions stem from two Week 4 incidents. Seeman appeared to curse at Cardinals tight end Trey McBride during the Cardinals-Giants game. Hill appeared to yell at Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson after the two collided in the Vikings-Dolphins game. Trey's message: the job is to let the players perform within the rules, and nobody tunes in to watch the officials. Also in this episode: • Mark Schlereth challenges the Denver Broncos offense to find one thing it does well and build from it. • Merril Hoge challenges the Minnesota Vikings offense to score a touchdown, after Minnesota beat Miami 15-10 on five field goals. • Damien Woody challenges Jets head coach Aaron Glenn to wake up before it is too late. Officials are supposed to stay out of the story. This week, two of them did not. Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/R/OGFB Disclaimer: 18+ only. Restrictions and eligibility requirements apply.

    Week Three Is in the Books — Brock Purdy Is an MVP, Dallas Has a Coaching Problem, New England Has a Bigger One

    Week 3 is in the books, and some teams are starting to show us exactly who they are. On The OG Football Show, Trey Wingo, Mark Schlereth, Merril Hoge and Damien Woody break down the biggest surprises, disappointments and storylines from around the NFL after Week 3. Sponsored by Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/r/OGFB Use code OGFB and get $25 when you trade $25. Brock Purdy and the 49ers continue to roll despite injuries across the roster, and Purdy is playing at an MVP level. The guys break down his processing, accuracy and command of Kyle Shanahan's offense, why San Francisco continues to thrive no matter who goes down and why it's time to stop treating Purdy's success like it's luck.  Meanwhile, Dallas continues to find new ways to get in its own way. From abandoning the run near the goal line to questionable clock management and late-game decisions against Baltimore, the OGs break down why the Cowboys' problems go beyond the players on the field and why situational football continues to cost them.   And things are getting ugly in New England. Drake Maye is struggling, the offense has stalled and the Patriots are finding out just how different this season looks after last year's success. The guys discuss what's going wrong with Maye, whether his problems can be fixed and just how much trouble the Patriots are actually in.    Plus, the Browns and Raiders are turning heads, Michael Penix has transformed the Falcons offense, Green Bay has a serious problem up front, the Chargers somehow found another way to lose, the Rams aren't ready to panic, Pittsburgh finally got Aaron Rodgers going, Denver keeps starting slowly and much more. No bits. No BS. Just ball. Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/R/OGFB Disclaimer: 18+ only. Restrictions and eligibility requirements apply.
