Episode 3341: America’s Team, NFL Begins, Ireland’s Rocket Launch, Bill Belichick’s Romance

Wed 3rd Sep 2025
Eoin, Ken, Murph, US Murph

The NFL season begins this weekend, and it’s going more global than ever with a record seven matches around the world, starting with the Chiefs against the Chargers in Brazil and at the end of the month pro football comes to our shores as the Vikings take on the Steelers at Croke Park.

We preview the season with US Murph today and chat about a top class documentary on Netflix called America’s Team – The Gambler and His Cowboys, about oil man Jerry Jones’ building of the Cowboys dynasty in the 1990s, a dynasty that was built largely by taking down US Murph’s beloved 49ers.

Plus there’s Pedant’s (Pedants’??) Corner, Murph’s Dublin based media sycophancy, Ireland’s World Cup rocket launch, and we discuss how Bill Belichick’s May to December romance is now an even bigger news story in the US after a disastrous start to his career as a college football coach.
