Turnovers, Blocks & Tush-Push: A Disaster Sunday Breakdown
Description
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.
