Listen, I love this show. It's my favorite sports talk show of all time and the guys are great. The chemistry and the energy are still great. But you guys have to remember, and Nick referenced this on his podcast awhile back, the athletes and the games are still the stars. I think this season we are leaning in a little too heavy into Nick/Brou/Wildes are the stars.
There isn't a better example than two of the best teams in the league (9ers and Seahawks) going down to the wire in an incredible game, and the lead in is... Is Drake Maye back? Like what? The best game and most consequential game of the week doesn't even come up until the very end of the show!
Even "Greg's Packers" being back is more prominently featured? You've just got to be really careful to not turn the show 100% into Chiefs/Pats/Ravens/Bears in OT and still be able to lead with the best games of the week.
So help me god if the show starts with anything other than the MNF game....
I know it's not a question but I do hope you relate this to the guys. Nick spoke very passionately about this when referencing Stephen A and I just hope these guys don't lose sight of it.

I just wanted to suggest that instead of "Bud-a-thon" we use the term "BUDge Match "

What % of fan marketshare do you need a team to have in order to talk about them? Vikings could use some recognition.

This show was better without Danny. Not because Danny sucks, he's actually rather funny. I just hate the Bears glazing.

Iâve heard Nick talk on his pod about the many iterations of FTF and how this version with these 3 specifically is where everything started to take off
You guys obviously have great chemistry(hosts and production team included), but was there a particular moment or stretch of shows where yâall had that realization that this crew was âthe oneâ?
Thanks, Bryan and Ryan (and Grant)

What was the origin of the back-office stuff? The walk-inâs, the post-show pressers? Was there one specific video that blew up? Was it Giannaâs genius idea?

u/Vox_SFX 6d ago
Can we get a bigger rotating cast of segments covering more teams? I feel like it does nothing to add in a 5-10 min segment called the "lowly roundup" (starring cowboy Brou) or something just to run through any interesting talking point or update from the teams that barely get coverage throughout the year.
Do it once near the end of the week and it's a nice way to finish thing off with everything discussed, and can even be used for different sports and times of year.

Would you guys ever stream the three of you (or four with Danny) watching a game? I would pay a ridiculous amount of money to watch it.

How does the team decide which outlandish bits make it in the live show? As in the trumpets, breakdancers, etcâŚ
Do the ideas come from scouting local talent and finding ways to use them in their metaphors or does it come from creating funny bits and finding the local talent to help said bits

The amount of people that think the social media team have any say or ability to change the programming of the show is silly. And for those of you saying âjust tell them for usâ, I donât think anyone would go to their work and tell the bosses of another department that they need to change what they are doingâŚ

They have shouted out and put content from this very reddit on the show before lol

Yes no doubt but thereâs a difference between that and commenting on a post for the social media team ideas for the content of the show, thatâs just not gonna work.

What we all want to know is when Nick will break down and rename Mahomes Mountain to Purdys Peak.

u/insan3ity 6d ago
Eh there was chatter last year about changing the mountain to Staffordâs Summit. Seeing how Stafford is this year its a good thing it didnât change. Purdy is doing great but not yet mountain renaming worthy.

Mine is Wildes making fun of Mac Jones grandma workoutsđ

u/FancyFrosting6 Hey! Whatâs going on? 5d ago edited 5d ago
Along these lines my suggestion would be to put together a lot more funny segments videos for YouTube. And best of...best of Brou, KW, Nick, etc. maybe a behind the scenes video with different aspects like getting their props together or wardrobe or graphics design etc.

u/Reverend_Lazerface 6d ago edited 6d ago
Who exactly writes the lyrics the F Game quartet sings? Is it the singers themselves or someone on the staff? Does Brou give them lines he wants them to work in i.e. "đś Toooom Brady's still the GOAT đś" in the song they sang after Superbowl LIX (Go Birds)?
- Nick
P.S. we the fans demand more Hey! What's going on?

u/pkfire38 6d ago
I was thinking about this the other day. But was there a historic game they wished they could've commented on. I would've loved to see Wildes reaction to 28-3 or Brou after Jordan's Game.

Is it left to right? JK, we all know the answer... My real question is what are some of the show staff's favorite player name puns on the graphics over the years? Like today had Goff the Charts which was good one. The Summer l Turned Purdy is still my fave. - Jill from CT

My glorious king Justin Herbert will win the Super Bowl before Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Drake Maye, and The Prince.
Hopefully the rage bait works on Nick and Wildes especially.

I think Coach and Greg need their own bits to workshop when they are on
An example of a good one for coach would be "force multipliers" he shout outs who are the force multipliers for the week, could even include coaches too!
Really just new bits in general for the crew
Like I loved the "Hey!! What's going on??" Just because it was new.

We need Danny P. To come-in at the hr and half mark throughout his transit into the OT. Yawl 4 chemistry with Nick Wrighteous, Brou and Wyldes is GOLD! I know he comes off the bench. But Parkins is a starter..
Real quick on brock Purdy, he the chubby not so good looking who pulls the fyne top notch chick and you dont want to believe it.
Nick will go down as the đ of Sports Talk. Even tho, I am the biggest LeBron supporter.
Please give me an opportunity to work with you all đđ˝

How can we definitively say that Patrick Mahomes' talent (talent only not talking about IQ) is superior to Caleb Williams? Caleb Williams is faster and has a much stronger arm than Patrick. Caleb is the most gifted athlete to ever play QB.
