About Football America!
Football America is a show about stories that matter—discussed by people who don’t. Why? Because this beautiful game deserves all of the spotlight. Football raised us. We obsess over it. We fight about it. We name our dogs after retired players, then name our children after those dogs. We talk football the way Sinatra sang songs: with conviction. And drunk. Each week, Dave Dameshek’s embarrassing habit of assigning meaning to frivolous stats is on full display as he is joined by a host of celebrities, players, and well-meaning people who play experts on television. Hilarity ensues. Debate follows. It’s a love letter to football written in spicy mustard. Football America! is synonymous (see what we did there?). This isn’t just a sport. It's our national identity… but it’s also a sport.

Can Buffalo Finish, Will Miami Cover, and Is McDaniel Out in LA? (Feat. Lance Zierlein)
Published 5 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] There's a lot of flux. The Cowboys just need to keep pace, make sure everybody stays healthy. And that was the thing. When you look at Houston, I'm like, man, CJ Stroud didn't play that bad, Dave. Like I looked at his stats and I saw him play and I was like, he's kind of playing well. I think he's been great this year, honestly. Yeah, like this season he's been good. And their defense is also good, but also allowing a lot of points. So it's kind of a middle ground. I mean, it's not good. I mean, that's the thing I can't wait to talk to Lance about is what is going on there with that defense. Better said they have great pieces. […]
