The episode opens with celebration and a detailed recap of the Patriots’ recent win — including frank talk about inconsistent officiating, unlucky turnovers, and why the victory still matters for New England fans.
They dive into their weekly NFL picks and betting slips, previewing every big matchup of the week. Highlights include Joe Flacco’s trade-to-start story in Cincinnati, skepticism about the Jaguars, and breakdowns of (Rams vs. Jaguars) (00:09:44), (Saints vs. Bears) (00:10:59), (Dolphins’ Struggles Continue) (00:13:16), and the (Patriots vs. Titans Preview) (00:19:51) following Tennessee’s coaching change.

Recurring themes include frustration with officiating and clock management, how penalties swing close games, unexpected quarterback shakeups, and which rosters are built to win versus simply survive. The hosts debate time-management blunders, player availability (Tua, Tyreek, Burrow, Kyler, etc.), and how coaching shifts can reset team identity midseason.
College football talk covers the shock firing at Penn State, Indiana’s Top-5 surge, major upsets like Texas over Oklahoma, and Notre Dame’s dominant win — plus on-the-ground tailgate stories and previews for rivalry weekend (LSU, Ole Miss at Georgia, Tennessee at Alabama, USC at Notre Dame).

Hosts Will Alimonos and Zach Bishop break down a jam-packed episode covering the latest NBA media-day developments, fantasy football pain, a heavy slate of NFL picks, college football upsets, and the closing moments of the MLB regular season. Expect a conversational, game-by-game NFL preview, betting angles, and candid takes on roster news and injuries.
The show opens with college and NBA talk (00:00:48) — including a reassuring two-minute Jason Tatum video, tempered expectations on his recovery, coach Mazzulla’s tone and tactics, and how missing pieces (Fred VanVleet’s season-ending injury, Kevin Durant’s ongoing point-guard search, Reed Sheppard’s readiness) shift the contender landscape. They also hit Al Horford’s new Golden State deal and toss out quick NBA futures bets for the season.
The conversation transitions to football (00:06:07) and a full NFL recap (00:11:10). The hosts confess fantasy mishaps (00:21:34) and debate whether late scratch news should spark commissioner intervention. From there, they dive into weekly NFL picks — Rams over the Niners on a short week, a Vikings–Browns preview, Colts vs. Raiders breakdown, Saints vs. Giants reasoning, Cowboys–Jets chaos, Ravens vs. Texans concerns, and betting notes like a Bowers anytime TD (+195) and a Vikings–Browns under play.

Hosts Will Alimonos and Zach Bishop kick off a bruise-filled Sunday on A Little Column A, A Little Column B, unpacking a week of NFL chaos, bad luck and bizarre finishes. Expect heated takes on the Patriots’ meltdown (five turnovers and goal-line heartbreak), Stevenson’s costly fumbles, and whether Belichick’s roster decisions still make sense.
The show digs into special-teams mayhem — multiple blocked kicks across the league and the spread of the so-called “witching hour” blocks — and revisits the controversial Eagles’ tush-push offsides moments that keep drawing headlines. Will and Zach debate officiating consistency, the fairness of the rule, and how teams are exploiting gray areas.
Backup-QB fever and roster depth are central topics: the hosts argue when teams should stick with veteran stopgaps versus rolling the dice on unknown college prospects, citing performances from Jaden Daniels, Brock Purdy/Mac Jones situations, plus the Falcons’ 30–0 embarrassment that raises questions about personnel and coaching. They also parse fantasy fallout — injuries, roster moves and whether to chase upside or stability at quarterback.
Game highlights and memorable moments: Isaiah Rogers’ historic two defensive touchdowns for the Vikings, Cleveland’s last-second engineered drive and spike to win (Flacco to Njoku), multiple miraculous blocked kicks, and Mahomes’ bizarre backward fumble-and-punch recovery that left everyone talking. Derrick Henry’s fumble trend for the Ravens, Green Bay’s near-meltdown, and Caleb Williams/Cowboys/Bears takeaways also get sharp attention.
Willie and Zach lay out their weekly picks and bets — including locks and long-shot anytime scorers — previewing Thursday’s Seahawks–Cardinals game and key Sunday matchups (Vikings vs. Steelers, Commanders vs. Falcons, Bills vs. Saints, Browns vs. Lions) plus early and late Monday-night games. They explain the reasoning behind favorites, trap-game concerns, and which teams need to clean up penalties and turnovers to survive.
The episode closes with a short college-football roundup (Miami’s strong start, notable performances and upcoming marquee matchups) and a spoiler from the NBA beat: the ongoing Clippers/Kawhi/Aspiration reporting, Pablo Torre’s coverage and the Ballmer angle — plus why the hosts think the league is slow-walking consequences.
Overall expect a mix of fiery frustration and wry humor, detailed game analysis, fantasy and betting implications, and a clear sense of what to watch next week for teams, players and storylines that could flip a season.

Will Alimonos and co-host Zach Bishop break down a jam-packed episode filled with wild real-life drama and football chaos.
The hosts open with a bizarre cruise-ship story about Jay Zander Omar Gonzalez Diaz — a passenger who lost $16,000, jumped off the ship, was quickly retrieved by jet skis, and was found with nearly $15,000 in cash (00:00:49). That strange incident sparks a conversation about panic, poor decisions, and how cover-ups often make bad situations worse.
The conversation pivots to the NFL’s injury wave and the growing “League of Backups” (00:04:49). Will and Zach discuss Joe Burrow’s season-threatening turf-toe injury (00:11:23), why the name is misleading, why teams are already leaning on backups across the league, and whether this many replacements is a fluke or an unavoidable reality of a violent game. They debate strategy vs. panic when starters go down and explore how salary caps and roster construction shape backup options.
They break down specific team situations: the Dolphins/Patriots drama around Tua and team vibes (00:11:51), Buffalo as the AFC East lock, Cincinnati’s outlook without Burrow versus Minnesota with their starter out (00:23:12), Green Bay’s steady play over Cleveland (00:17:49), the Colts’ surprising early form with Daniel Jones vs. Tennessee (00:19:49), and Pittsburgh’s special-teams blunder vs. New England (00:25:13). Controversial plays like the tush-push/offsides chatter in the Rams/Eagles game also get sharp attention (00:29:35).
More game talk includes Jets @ Buccaneers (00:33:20), Raiders @ Washington (00:37:25), Falcons @ Panthers (00:40:49), Texans @ Jaguars (00:46:29), Broncos @ Chargers (00:47:28), Saints @ Seahawks (00:49:05), Cowboys @ Bears (00:51:26), Cardinals @ 49ers (00:55:17), Chiefs @ Giants (00:58:02), and Lions @ Ravens (01:01:07).
Will and Zach make their weekly picks and bets — Buffalo as the lock of the week, Green Bay, the Colts, and a mix of other straight-up calls. They disagree on the Bengals vs. Vikings backup battle and trade takes on the Chiefs, Cowboys, Bears, and more. The episode also includes practical fantasy talk (benching Drake London, Bijan Robinson buzz and name-pronunciation quirks) and wagering notes (anytime TD bets on Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson, plus a Mac Jones anti-Cardinals swing).
Other recurring themes: the role of special teams and kickers (big swings, clutch 60+ yard field goals, missed PAT consequences), how backups change offensive identities, and the emotional side of coaching decisions — whether to ride out the season with a struggling coach or flip regimes early. They also highlight notable individual performances (Russell Wilson’s big yardage game, standout short-term units, and Antonio Gibson’s special-teams value).
The episode closes with a college-football roundup (01:04:37): Georgia’s OT win over Tennessee, Clemson’s upset, Vanderbilt surprising South Carolina, and scheduling notes now that USC is in the Big Ten (late-night kickoffs for Michigan State fans). Will and Zach tease next week’s college coverage, remind listeners to subscribe to Little of Column A, Little of Column B, and sign off after another wide-ranging, opinionated hour of sports talk and odd news.
And to cap things off — a bonus NBA note on Jonathan Kaminga vs. the Warriors (01:07:35).

On the NFL front the hosts unpack Week 1: the shocking pre-kick ejection and spitting incident that altered the game narrative, Christian McCaffrey’s last-minute injury scare and subsequent strong outing for San Francisco, Caitlin Clark’s season-ending announcement, plus fantasy fallout for names like Jamar Chase and Derrick Henry.
