Hour three kicks off with a discussion on Tom Brady’s growing presence behind the scenes, as he was spotted sitting in FOX pregame production meetings and wearing a headset in the Raiders’ booth. The crew debates the optics of Brady’s involvement, questioning whether it should be against the rules or if it’s simply part of the evolving game. Next, Producer C.C. and Associate Producer Lazz get some revenge in this week’s “Producer Payback,” showcasing some of the crew’s funniest and most embarrassing moments. Later, SiriusXM NFL Radio host and USA Today CardsWire contributor Howard Balzer joins on the Right Toyota Guest Line to reflect on the Cardinals’ “ugly” win over Carolina, the team’s continued struggles closing out games, and how mounting injuries may be the biggest red flag moving forward, especially ahead of the matchup with San Francisco. The show wraps with the Lerner & Rowe “One Call That’s All,” featuring ASU Assistant Head Coach and Special Teams Coordinator Charlie Ragle, who highlights the Sun Devils’ promising QB–WR duo.
