Welcome to "Football School"

Catch up on Let's Talk Ball! and analyze the trends heading your way in 2026.

I’m on the road this week, and Felix needs a much-deserved break (he’s been working the night shift at a local news station). No new episode of Let’s Talk Ball! this week, but that gives you a chance to catch up on one (or more) of our “Football School” episodes heading into the Summer.

See y’all next week!
