  A’ja Wilson Fan Drama: Is the WNBA Ready for Primetime? | NFL Week 5 + CFB Picks

  Oct 1, 20261h 23m

  On this episode of Unpaved, Sean Salisbury and Adam G. Sager break down how veteran backup Case Keenum and Ben Johnson's Bears dismantled the Eagles on Monday Night Football, with Sean giving an extended breakdown of why Keenum's experience and discipline made the difference. They cover a wave of roster moves, including the Steelers trading cornerback Joey Porter Jr. to the Cowboys after previously dealing away Minkah Fitzpatrick-caliber talent in Broderick Jones and George Pickens, and the Giants acquiring J.J. McCarthy from the Vikings following Jackson Dart's season-ending injury. The guys also dig into a new WNBA controversy after A'ja Wilson accused a fan of "stepping" at her during a playoff game, with Sean delivering a pointed rant on the league's double standards. The back half of the show previews a loaded NFL slate (Chiefs-Raiders, Rams-Eagles, Cowboys-Texans) and three big college football matchups (Ohio State-Iowa, Florida-Missouri, Alabama-Mississippi State), plus MLB playoff recaps including the White Sox eliminating the Astros and the Yankees sweeping the Red Sox.

  Is Lincoln Riley in Trouble? Drake Maye Struggles & Is Florida Back? | UNPAVED

  Sep 28, 20261h 19m

  On this Monday edition of Unpaved, Sean Salisbury and Adam G. Sager open with a rant on the state of football, from overprotected quarterbacks and the flagged hit on Patrick Mahomes to the new kickoff rules that changed the Cowboys-Ravens finish in Brazil. They dig into Drake Maye's six-interception start and the struggling Patriots, the Jaguars' 35-6 win, and which winless teams should worry most, with Sean naming the Texans and Chargers over the Rams. On the college side, they react to Florida's dominant run game against Ole Miss, Michigan's last-play loss to Iowa, and USC's 41-27 loss to Oregon, where Desmond Stevens' hit on Dante Moore and his sideline celebration took over the conversation. Sean gives a detailed breakdown of why quarterback slides put defenders in an impossible spot and argues Lincoln Riley's hot seat is real. They close with the MLB postseason bracket, Tasty Gains' Biggest Gain of the Week, and the Kalshi Bet of the Day for Eagles at Bears. Topics Discussed & Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro 1:35 – Indiana-Northwestern and the weekend's manufactured controversies 2:50 – Sean on the flagged hit on Patrick Mahomes and the overprotection of quarterbacks 6:29 – Drake Maye's six interceptions in three games and the struggling Patriots 10:59 – Patriots and Jets both sit at 1-2; the AFC East picture 12:44 – Jaguars beat the Patriots 35-6; are they a top-four AFC team? 14:50 – Sean rips the NFL kickoff rules after the Cowboys-Ravens finish in Brazil 21:46 – Who should be more concerned: the 1-2 Rams or the 0-3 Texans? 26:34 – Why isn't Woody Marks getting more touches in Houston? 28:54 – NFL weekend roundup: Bills, Chiefs, Raiders and the 3-0 Vikings 32:00 – Baker Mayfield's thumb injury and Todd Bowles' future in Tampa 33:44 – Florida beats Ole Miss 52-?, moving into the top 10 38:00 – Why rushing attempts are Sean's favorite stat for predicting winners 40:13 – Michigan's last-play loss to Iowa despite Bryce Underwood's best game 41:30 – Dante Moore takes a hit from USC's Desmond Stevens; Sean breaks down the slide problem 47:53 – Is Lincoln Riley on the hot seat at USC? 49:40 – Dan Lanning's "Chris Brown concert" comment and Sean's response 52:04 – Texas survives Tennessee; is Texas really the No. 1 team? 57:17 – Georgia dominates Oklahoma; concerns about John Mateer's NFL future 1:00:20 – Dylan Raiola's transfer to Oregon and how it's paying off 1:02:38 – MLB postseason preview: Red Sox-Yankees, Cubs-Padres and the White Sox's return 1:09:25 – Tasty Gains' Biggest Gain of the Week: Florida and the Raiders 1:12:57 – Kalshi Bet of the Day: Eagles at Bears 1:16:12 – Sean and Adam's predictions on a possible MLB work stoppage 1:17:40 – Wrap-up Notes: Sean argues you can be right and wrong on the same play: the Stevens hit on Dante Moore was dirty because he led with the shoulder pad and helmet, but it may not have been late, and quarterback slides put defenders in an impossible position. He also stands behind Dan Lanning's dig at USC, saying the Trojans are living off reputation rather than results. Laura Palmisano's Florida Gators also had a big weekend, and Adam gives a nod to Ole Miss's hangover after the LSU win.

  Why Is Brock Purdy Still Doubted? Is Justin Herbert Overhyped? | UNPAVED

  Sep 24, 20261h 53m

  On this episode of Unpaved, Sean Salisbury delivers an extended defense of Brock Purdy, arguing that the league's obsession with prototypical size and arm strength causes evaluators to consistently overlook production, and that Purdy's career resume already surpasses several bigger-name quarterbacks. The guys break down a rough week of quarterback injuries, including Giants rookie Jackson Dart's season-ending knee injury, Bears backup Tyson Bagent's concussion ahead of a Case Keenum start, and Commanders star Jayden Daniels' dislocated elbow, before Sean shares personal stories about playing through injuries during his own NFL career. They also revisit Lane Kiffin's comments calling the LSU-Ole Miss game "their Super Bowl," which Sean argues was a built-in excuse for the loss, before running through the week's NFL power rankings and closing with a "dumbasses of the week" segment covering Colin Kaepernick comeback rumors, a Pro Football Talk clickbait story, and controversial comments made on The View. Topics Discussed & Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro 1:15 – Sean's extended defense of Brock Purdy against size-over-substance quarterback evaluation 25:00 – Giants rookie QB Jackson Dart's season-ending knee injury 36:00 – Bears backup Tyson Bagent's concussion ahead of a Case Keenum start against the Eagles 50:00 – Commanders QB Jayden Daniels' dislocated elbow and recurring injury history 1:12:00 – Sean's personal stories on playing through pain vs. injury in the NFL 1:25:00 – Weekly NFL Top 3/Bottom 3 power rankings 1:40:00 – Lane Kiffin calls the LSU-Ole Miss game "their Super Bowl"; Sean calls it a built-in excuse 1:55:00 – "Dumbasses of the Week": Colin Kaepernick comeback rumors, a Pro Football Talk clickbait story, and controversial comments on The View 2:15:00 – College football six-pack of picks: Texas-Tennessee, Ole Miss-Florida, Oregon-USC, Iowa-Michigan, Texas A&M-LSU, Missouri-Mississippi State Notes: Sean gives one of his most detailed personal breakdowns of the season on why physical measurables get overvalued at quarterback, drawing on his own playing career and training experience. He also announces his upcoming induction into the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Hall of Fame alongside his 1988 Grey Cup-winning teammates.

Sager break down Ole Miss quarterback Sam Leavitt being listed as doubtful ahead of the LSU showdown, with Sean arguing Lane Kiffin's gamesmanship makes it likely Leavitt suits up regardless.
