We NEED To Talk About This

Underdog Fantasy
About this episode

Dan Hanzus and Marc Sessler make their triumphant return to the airwaves with the debut episode of Heed the Call! Dan and Marc catch up for a bit - lots to talk about, you know how it goes - before introducing the show's first regular contributor, Sports Illustrated's Conor Orr (40:35). Conor and the guys go around discussing football items we NEED to talk about, covering the toughness of football (45:48), Caleb Williams' first preseason action (50:46), the new kickoff format (57:29), some breaking news regarding Haason Reddick and the Jets (1:06:47), the Jacksonville Jaguars (1:14:28), the status of the Chiefs' wide receiving corps (1:17:50), and the Michael Penix situation in Atlanta (1:24:53). Finally, to close the show, we quickly run through everything else we missed from Preseason Week 1 (1:29:29).
