There’s one more game before the trade deadline. Dianna Russini and Chase Daniel examine five teams who should be thinking about making a move, buyers and sellers - including the Houston Texans, who just lost star receiver Stefon Diggs for the season. Then The Athletic’s Dane Brugler joins the pod to talk about why so many quarterbacks from the 2023 draft class are struggling and to share his early thoughts on the impact players in next year’s cohort. Finally, Dianna and Chase end the show by celebrating spooky season and contemplating which things should scare them the most.

After a bonkers weekend of games, Dianna Russini and Chase Daniel break out the vibe meter to measure what teams are feeling a week out from the trade deadline. They share what they’re hearing and seeing from Washington (with an impromptu appearance from Pardon My Take’s PFT Commenter), where the vibes are soaring. And they take stock of the atmospheres in Chicago, Cleveland, San Francisco, Dallas, Tennessee and Detroit before Chase provides some brutally honest feedback about how Anthony Richardson took himself out of a critical situation in yesterday’s Colts game against the Texans. Then, The Athletic’s Jets Zack Rosenblatt joins the pod to share what’s going on behind the scenes of that team’s losing streak. And Dianna and Chase end the show pumping up The Athletic’s viral coverage of the NFL’s fascination with Uncrustables snacks and debate which kid foods are okay for adults to eat.

The Chiefs, an undefeated team sore for pass catchers, just traded for one of the most recognizable receivers in the NFL. Dianna Russini shares with Chase Daniel how their trade for Deandre Hopkins went down and hears from Chase what he’s going to bring to the Kansas City offense. Then they get into what Dianna’s hearing about who could be reaching out to the Rams about Cooper Kupp, what other receivers could move before the deadline, how the Panthers starting Bryce Young again could set off a larger chain of events in the league, and what people should make of recent comments the owners of the Giants and Cowboys made about their organizations. Then, Pardon My Take co-host PFT Commenter joins the show to share the vibes in the Washington Commanders fan base before the team’s match-up with Caleb Williams and the Bears this weekend. And Dianna and Chase close out the show by settling a few football-related, and unrelated, debates in the debut of our new segment, “Scoop Court.” Hosts: Dianna Russini, Chase Daniel Producer: Marissa Dunn Executive Producer: Michael Martinez Follow Scoop City on YouTube  Follow Dianna Russini: @DMRussini Follow Chase Daniel: @ChaseDaniel Learn more about your ad choices.

As reported by Dianna Russini over the weekend, the Dolphins are moving to get Tua Tagovailoa back on the field as early as next Sunday. Dianna and Chase Daniel explore what risks he and the team are taking by returning to action so quickly after he suffered the third diagnosed concussion of his career in September. They also discuss what went into Mike Tomlin’s decision to start Russell Wilson at quarterback this weekend and how it paid off, what’s next for the Jets after their second primetime loss in a week, and who should be sellers at the trade deadline. Plus, they check in with The Athletic’s Vikings beat reporter, Alec Lewis, about what’s been going on behind the scenes with a team that’s been one of the surprise stories of the 2024 season. And they end the show with a new segment about who in the league has a right to be petty as we kick off the week.
