The temperature of college football’s most intense rivalry was dialed up last week and Matt had a front row seat for all of it! He takes us through his vantage point of the Michigan-Ohio State postgame brawl while reflecting on his own rivalries with Notre Dame and UCLA.  Plus, actor Josh Duhamel joins the guys talking about his love of the Minnesota Vikings, his time as a D-II college quarterback and how he very nearly pursued a career in dentistry instead of acting.   Then, we close it out with Matt and Jerry revealing their top 3 sports brawls of all time in this week’s edition of the Throwback 3!  New episodes of Throwbacks drop every Thursday.

It’s rivalry week in college football so fittingly, Matt’s former enemy (and now close friend), Brady Quinn, joins the show! Brady tries coaxing Matt into a USC-Notre Dame bet while also revealing the coin-toss trash talk that took place between the two prior to their legendary “Bush Push” game.   Plus: Jerry takes us through his epic weekend at the Las Vegas Grand Prix and wonders if a running back may finally be able to bump quarterbacks off the NFL MVP pedestal. All that and a rivalry-related Throwback 3 as well!  New episodes of Throwbacks drop every Thursday.

In the latest edition of Throwbacks presented by Cash App, Matt and Jerry are joined by World Series champion Jack Flaherty. The 29-year-old pitcher spoke about what it’s like playing on a team of ego-less stars, what Shohei Ohtani’s group text said following his Game 2 injury and why Jack's all about Clayton Kershaw’s dad-bod. Flaherty also weighed in on our ongoing “too-many-celebrations-in-baseball" debate and shared some of his all time favorite sports video games as well.  Plus, it’s that time of year where Jerry is forced to remind people that he was not in Detroit the night of the “Malice at the Palace.” And Matt shows some love to rookie Dalton Knecht following his 37-point outburst.    New episodes of Throwbacks drop every Thursday.
