Football is back, which means it’s officially time to panic over sample sizes of one! Mike Ryan Ruiz and Tony Calatayud swing by to publicly recant the terrible Week 1 takes they immediately regret. We ask the tough questions: Are the Rams and Chargers cooked, or just sleeping in? Tony breaks down why the Giants are complete, unadulterated fool's gold, and we roast the Steelers for somehow making a victory look like a mid-afternoon snoozefest. Finally, comedian Brad Williams joins us live from inside a Red Robin to preview Broncos vs. Chiefs—assuming his bottomless fries don't distract him first.ALERT: Football America!
