It’s only August 1st and things are already looking grim for the Los Angeles Chargers. Justin Herbert will be in a walking boot for the next two weeks after being diagnosed with plantar fasciitis on Thursday afternoon, so Nate Tice and Charles McDonald start the episode with the latest ominous prediction for the team that can never seem to catch a break.
Later, after discussing the new contract of Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs — arguably the most accomplished tackle in the 2020 draft class — the guys get back on the sour note, sharing the teams, players, and general football stuff they’re most sad about heading into the 2024 season. Both Russell Wilson’s current team (the Pittsburgh Steelers) and his former team (the Denver Broncos) make the cut, as do both of Derek Carr’s former teams: the Las Vegas Raiders and New Orleans Saints. Who else is making Nate and Charles sad as football season approaches? Listen to the episode to find out.
