    NFL WEEK 1 WAS WILD! + WEEK 2 PICKS & PREDICTIONS

    WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF BANTER ON THE ROCKS, WHERE SPORTS, HOT TAKES, NFL PREDICTIONS, FANTASY FOOTBALL, COLLEGE FOOTBALL, AND PLENTY OF BANTER COLLIDE! THE NFL SEASON IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY, AND THIS WEEK WE BREAK DOWN EVERY GAME FROM NFL WEEK 1 BEFORE LOOKING AHEAD AND MAKING OUR NFL WEEK 2 PREDICTIONS. BUT FIRST, WE KICK THINGS OFF WITH BANTER TAKES AND ASK A QUESTION THAT MIGHT GET US IN TROUBLE: ARE FOOD INFLUENCERS BECOMING THE NEW MOVIE CRITICS, AND CAN WE ACTUALLY TRUST THEIR REVIEWS? WITH FREE MEALS, SPONSORED CONTENT, AND VIEWS ON THE LINE, WE DEBATE WHETHER SOME FOOD INFLUENCERS ARE GIVING HONEST REVIEWS OR SIMPLY TELLING US WHAT RESTAURANTS WANT US TO HEAR. WE ALSO LOOK AT THE WORLD OF MOVIE CRITICS AND WHETHER AUDIENCES SHOULD TRUST THE CRITICS OR MAKE UP THEIR OWN MINDS. THEN WE HEAD TO MLB FOR ANOTHER HOT TAKE: ARE UMPIRES TRYING TOO HARD TO BECOME PART OF THE SHOW? AFTER AN UMPIRE STOPPED A GAME OVER A ROOKIE'S HAT DURING HIS MLB DEBUT, WE DEBATE WHETHER BASEBALL UMPIRES NEED TO WORRY LESS ABOUT THE SPOTLIGHT AND MORE ABOUT IMPROVING THE GAME ON THE FIELD. FROM THERE, IT'S TIME FOR BANTER SPORTSBOOK AS WE RECAP SOME OF THE BIGGEST GAMES AND STORYLINES FROM THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEKEND BEFORE DIVING HEADFIRST INTO THE NFL. WE BREAK DOWN EVERY NFL WEEK 1 GAME WITH OUR BIGGEST REACTIONS, SURPRISES, DISAPPOINTMENTS, AND TAKEAWAYS FROM AROUND THE LEAGUE. WE ALSO ANSWER A LISTENER'S FANTASY FOOTBALL TRADE QUESTION AND TALK ABOUT WHICH PLAYERS WE'RE BUYING, SELLING, AND WATCHING AS THE FANTASY SEASON GETS UNDERWAY. THEN IT'S ON TO NFL WEEK 2 AS WE MAKE OUR PICKS AND PREDICTIONS FOR EVERY GAME AND OFFICIALLY BEGIN TRACKING OUR RECORDS TO SEE WHO FINISHES THE SEASON AS THE BANTER ON THE ROCKS NFL PICKS CHAMPION. FINALLY, WE PUT TIM TO THE TEST BY HAVING HIM RANK THE CURRENT NFL BROADCASTER DUOS IN AN S-TIER THROUGH C-TIER RANKING. WHO ARE THE BEST NFL ANNOUNCERS IN FOOTBALL, WHO BELONGS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK, AND WHICH BROADCAST TEAMS WOULD WE RATHER NOT HEAR ON SUNDAY? LET US KNOW YOUR NFL WEEK 2 PICKS, FANTASY FOOTBALL QUESTIONS, AND NFL BROADCASTER RANKINGS IN THE COMMENTS. WHO BELONGS IN S-TIER, AND WHO ARE YOU PUTTING ALL THE WAY DOWN IN C-TIER? GRAB A DRINK, JOIN THE CONVERSATION, AND WELCOME BACK TO BANTER ON THE ROCKS! NEW EPISODES DROP EVERY WEEK!

    NFL HOT TAKES GONE TOO FAR?! +KAWHI, FANTASY FOOTBALL, AND MORE

    WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF BANTER ON THE ROCKS, WHERE SPORTS, GOLF, FANTASY FOOTBALL, WILD THEORIES, AND HOT TAKES COLLIDE! THIS WEEK, WE KICK THINGS OFF WITH BANTER TAKES AND ASK A BIG QUESTION: IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR LIV GOLF? THE CONCEPT WAS BOLD, THE MONEY WAS MASSIVE, AND THEY TRIED TO CHANGE PROFESSIONAL GOLF BY ATTRACTING SOME OF THE BIGGEST NAMES IN THE SPORT—BUT DID LIV GOLF ULTIMATELY FAIL TO DELIVER ON ITS ORIGINAL VISION? FROM THERE, WE TURN BACK THE CLOCK AND DEBATE WHETHER 2000S MUSIC WAS ONE OF THE MOST GENERATION-DEFINING ERAS EVER. THE SONGS ARE OVER 20 YEARS OLD, YET SOMEHOW TODAY’S KIDS STILL KNOW THE LYRICS! WITH HALLOWEEN AROUND THE CORNER, WE ALSO SETTLE ANOTHER IMPORTANT DEBATE: ARE HALLOWEEN PARTIES ACTUALLY BETTER THAN NEW YEAR’S EVE PARTIES? THEN WE GET NOSTALGIC AND ASK WHETHER THE BLOCKBUSTER EXPERIENCE—WALKING THE AISLES, GRABBING SNACKS, AND PICKING OUT A MOVIE—WAS BETTER THAN SPENDING 30 MINUTES SCROLLING THROUGH NETFLIX TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT TO WATCH. NEXT, WE HUDDLE UP FOR THE BANTER SPORTSBOOK AS THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON OFFICIALLY GETS UNDERWAY! WE RECAP SOME OF THE BIGGEST GAMES AND STORYLINES FROM WEEK 1 AND LOOK AHEAD TO WHAT’S COMING IN WEEK 2. WE ALSO JUMP INTO THE LATEST NBA TALK, WHICH QUICKLY TURNS INTO JOHN’S RANT ABOUT THE CLIPPERS, KAWHI LEONARD, AND WHETHER THE PUNISHMENT FITS THE MISTAKE—PLUS JOHN GIVES HIS SOLUTION FOR HOW THE LA CLIPPERS CAN FINALLY GET A FRESH START. THEN IT’S TIME FOR OUR FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH AND DEBATE: NFL FOOTBALL! WE REVEAL OUR ROSTER FROM OUR 14-TEAM FANTASY FOOTBALL DRAFT, BREAK DOWN OUR PICKS, AND EXPLAIN WHY WE THINK WE ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED THE DRAFT—BUT YOU CAN BE THE JUDGE. THEN WE UNLEASH SOME OF OUR HOTTEST AND BOLDEST NFL PREDICTIONS FOR THE SEASON, AND LET’S JUST SAY WE’RE PROBABLY GOING TO TRIGGER A FEW FAN BASES AND HAVE YOU WONDERING EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE SIPPING ON DURING THE SHOW. FINALLY, WE HEAD BACK TO THE COURSE FOR BOGEYS ON THE ROCKS AND RECAP OUR LATEST 18-HOLE GOLF OUTING AT SIMI HILLS GOLF COURSE IN CALIFORNIA. AS BEGINNER GOLFERS, WE SHARE OUR THOUGHTS ON THE COURSE, HOW WE PLAYED, WHAT WENT RIGHT, WHAT DEFINITELY WENT WRONG, AND WHAT WE LEARNED FROM ANOTHER FULL ROUND. WHETHER YOU’RE HERE FOR NFL PREDICTIONS, FANTASY FOOTBALL, COLLEGE FOOTBALL, NBA TALK, LIV GOLF, GOLF CONTENT, 2000S NOSTALGIA, OR JUST SOME RIDICULOUS DEBATES BETWEEN FRIENDS, GRAB YOUR DRINK, PULL UP A CHAIR, AND JOIN THE BANTER!

    WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF BANTER ON THE ROCKS, WHERE SPORTS, GOLF, FANTASY FOOTBALL, WILD THEORIES, AND HOT TAKES COLLIDE! THIS WEEK, WE KICK THINGS OFF WITH BANTER TAKES AND DEBATE WHETHER AARON DONALD RETURNING TO THE NFL AND FAILING TO WIN ANOTHER SUPER BOWL WOULD ACTUALLY HURT HIS LEGACY, PLUS WE REACT TO THE LATEST NEWS SURROUNDING THE LOS ANGELES ANGELS AND THEIR NEW OWNERSHIP AND WHAT IT COULD MEAN FOR THE FUTURE OF THE FRANCHISE. WE ALSO GET INTO THE HYPE SURROUNDING GTA VI AND WHETHER IT COULD OUTSELL JUST ABOUT EVERY MAJOR ENTERTAINMENT RELEASE COMING IN 2026, BEFORE SWITCHING GEARS WITH SOME HILARIOUS RESTAURANT TAKES AND SITUATIONS WE GUARANTEE ALMOST EVERYONE HAS EXPERIENCED. FROM THERE, WE HEAD INTO THE BANTER SPORTSBOOK TO BREAK DOWN THE LATEST NFL AND MLB NEWS AS FOOTBALL SEASON GETS READY TO KICK OFF AND THE MLB PLAYOFF PICTURE HEATS UP WITH THE WILD CARD RACES GETTING TIGHTER. IT’S OFFICIALLY ONE OF THE BEST TIMES OF THE YEAR TO BE A SPORTS FAN! THEN WE SWING OVER TO BOGEYS ON THE ROCKS TO TALK ABOUT OUR NEXT SCHEDULED TEE TIME, WHAT WE’RE WORKING ON WITH OUR GAMES, AND THE PROGRESS—AND STRUGGLES—THAT COME WITH BEING NEW GOLFERS TRYING TO GET BETTER ONE ROUND AT A TIME. FINALLY, WE CLOSE THINGS OUT WITH FANTASY ON THE ROCKS, WHERE WE REVEAL SOME OF OUR FAVORITE DEEP SLEEPERS HEADING INTO THE FANTASY FOOTBALL SEASON. WE PLAY IN A COMPETITIVE 14-TEAM LEAGUE, SO FINDING THOSE LATE-ROUND STEALS AND UNDER-THE-RADAR PLAYERS CAN BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN AVERAGE SEASON AND WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP. SPORTS ARE HEATING UP, FANTASY FOOTBALL IS HERE, AND THE GOLF JOURNEY CONTINUES—DON’T MISS THIS WEEK’S EPISODE OF BANTER ON THE ROCKS! NEW EPISODES DROP EVERY WEEK!

THIS WEEK, WE KICK OFF BANTER TAKES WITH THE CYBERLEAKS CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING GTA, ASKING WHETHER SOMEONE ON THE INSIDE IS LEAKING INFORMATION AND GIVING ROCKSTAR GAMES FREE PROMOTION—OR IF THERE’S MORE TO THE STORY. WE THEN HIT THE GOLF WORLD TO DEBATE MATCH PLAY VS. STROKE PLAY AND BREAK DOWN THE PGA TOUR’S CHANGES TO ITS POSTSEASON FORMAT AND WHY THEY COULD BE A GREAT MOVE FOR PROFESSIONAL GOLF. THINGS HEAT UP WHEN JOHN DELIVERS WHAT MIGHT BE HIS HOTTEST TAKE YET: IF THE CLEVELAND BROWNS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY, STARTING DESHAUN WATSON IS THE RIGHT FOOTBALL DECISION… SERIOUSLY?!

FROM THERE, WE HEAD INTO THE BANTER SPORTSBOOK FOR THE LATEST NBA NEWS, INCLUDING TWO VERY DIFFERENT STORIES SURROUNDING THE LOS ANGELES LAKERS AND LA CLIPPERS, PLUS A LITTLE MLB AND BASEBALL TALK.

    FORMER PENN STATE COACH JAY PATERNO JOINS US FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE EPISODE OF BEHIND THE BANTER AS WE DIVE DEEP INTO THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL. JAY SHARES HIS UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE ON COACHING AT PENN STATE, WORKING ALONGSIDE HIS LEGENDARY FATHER JOE PATERNO, AND SERVING ON THE PENN STATE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. WE EXPLORE THE IMPACT OF NIL, THE TRANSFER PORTAL, AND HOW TODAY'S COLLEGE FOOTBALL LANDSCAPE IS CREATING NEW OPPORTUNITIES—AND NEW CHALLENGES—FOR STUDENT-ATHLETES AND COACHES ALIKE. WE ALSO HAVE AN HONEST CONVERSATION ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH IN COLLEGE ATHLETICS, LEADERSHIP, AND THE RESPONSIBILITY COACHES HAVE TO DEVELOP NOT ONLY GREAT FOOTBALL PLAYERS, BUT GREAT PEOPLE. ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE IS JAY'S INCREDIBLE BEHIND-THE-SCENES STORY OF HOW PENN STATE'S ICONIC WHITE OUT GREW INTO ONE OF THE LOUDEST, MOST INTIMIDATING, AND MOST CELEBRATED TRADITIONS IN ALL OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL. ALONG THE WAY, JAY SHARES MEMORABLE STORIES FROM HIS COACHING CAREER, REFLECTS ON SOME OF HIS PROUDEST MOMENTS AT PENN STATE, RECOMMENDS THE BEST FOOD, DRINKS, AND EVEN ICE CREAM TO TRY DURING A TRIP TO HAPPY VALLEY, AND REVEALS WHAT HE CONSIDERS HIS GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT AWAY FROM THE FOOTBALL FIELD.

    ESPN IS FALLING APART? | LEBRON RING CHASING, CHRISTOPHER NOLAN & FANTASY FOOTBALL

    WELCOME BACK TO BANTER ON THE ROCKS! WITH THE 2026 FIFA WORLD CUP OFFICIALLY IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR, WE'RE BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED CHAOS, HOT TAKES, SPORTS DEBATES, MOVIES, AND PLENTY OF LAUGHS. THIS WEEK, WE KICK THINGS OFF WITH BANTER TAKES, WHERE WE BREAK DOWN THE ESPN LAYOFFS AND DEBATE WHETHER THE NETWORK IS MAKING MISTAKE AFTER MISTAKE THAT COULD EVENTUALLY MAKE IT IRRELEVANT IN THE MODERN SPORTS MEDIA LANDSCAPE. WE ALSO DISCUSS WHY HBO'S HARD KNOCKS HAS LOST THE MAGIC THAT ONCE MADE IT MUST-SEE TV, HOW SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON HAS BECOME A BIGGER CULTURAL EVENT THAN MANY MAJOR AWARD SHOWS (AND WHY EVENTS LIKE FANATICS FEST SHOULD BE PAYING ATTENTION), AND WHETHER CHRISTOPHER NOLAN HAS REACHED THE POINT WHERE HIS NAME ALONE GUARANTEES A BLOCKBUSTER HIT. PLUS, WE THROW OUT ONE OF OUR FAVORITE IDEAS YET—SHOULD CHRISTOPHER NOLAN MAKE A HORROR MOVIE NEXT? WE THEN RETURN TO OUR WOLFPACK CHECK-IN TO SEE HOW WE'RE SURVIVING LIFE AFTER THE WORLD CUP...SPOILER ALERT: WE'RE NOT HANDLING THE SOCCER WITHDRAWAL VERY WELL. IN BANTER SPORTSBOOK, WE DIVE INTO THE LATEST NBA HEADLINES, DEBATE WHETHER LEBRON JAMES HAS BECOME THE ULTIMATE RING CHASER, AND DISCUSS THE BIGGEST NFL NEWS, INCLUDING THE RUMORS SURROUNDING VITA VEA, THE SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS' DEFENSE, AND OUR COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS ALTERNATE UNIVERSE WHERE SAM DARNOLD COMES OUT OF RETIREMENT TO JOIN THE RAMS. FANTASY ON THE ROCKS IS OFFICIALLY BACK AS FANTASY FOOTBALL SEASON APPROACHES, AND WE COVER THE BIGGEST NFL TRAINING CAMP BATTLES, POSITION COMPETITIONS, SLEEPERS, AND STORYLINES YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOUR DRAFT.
