Football Nation proudly presents the eighth episode in season three of "Monday Morning Huddle" with host Dave Holcomb. This week's podcast starts with the Minnesota Vikings and the suspension the franchise handed out to its special teams coach Mike Priefer. In former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe's story and letter to Deadspin, Kluwe included several anecdotes where Priefer said homophobic statements, one of which an investigation confirmed. The former punter, however, still argues the suspension does not fit the crime. Next, Holcomb discusses the highly unlikely possibility the Bills relocate, the feature back for the Jacksonville Jaguars and offensive lineman Chris Snee's plans to announce his retirement. Finally, in the 'Fourth and Long' segment, the host debates 2014 first round busts, the Denver Broncos and the most memorable plays in NFL history.

Football Nation's "Monday Morning Huddle": Redskins Name Change Coming?

Football Nation proudly presents the fourth episode in season three of "Monday Morning Huddle" with host Dave Holcomb. After last episode's discussion of the NFC West, again this week's podcast begins debating the new huge contract Colin Kaepernick received from the San Francisco 49ers. Which side does it favor more and will more contracts be structured like Kaepernick's? In the second segment, Holcomb takes two of Football Nation's top stories and disagrees with them. First, Patrick Barber lists three teams that should make a quarterback change before the season starts, but one of the franchises has made the playoffs each of the last three seasons. Next, Ryan Hutson names five coaches with something to prove this season, but does a two-time Super Bowl winning coach really have something to prove? Finally, the show ends with four statements in the 'Fourth and Long' segment. To start, Tom Brady and whether he is still an elite quarterback. Then, the draft potentially moving to other cities around the USA and whether fans should believe Pete Carroll in saying that if he could do it over, he would not leave USC. Lastly, the NFL announced it would use Super Bowl 50 as its logo rather than Super Bowl L. Monday Morning Huddle will return in two weeks, on Monday, June 23rd.

Football Nation proudly presents the third episode in season three of "Monday Morning Huddle" with host Dave Holcomb.

The show's host argues how an already crowded NFC West could be just heating up with Peterson's comments. In the second segment, Holcomb analyzes the Monday Night Football schedule by naming the best games, and then the popular 'Fourth and Long' segment returns as Holcomb talks NFC Super Bowl contenders, Andy Dalton's future with the Cincinnati Bengals and a possible Ryan Mallet trade to the Houston Texans.

Football Nation proudly presents its second-ever Super Bowl edition of "Monday Morning Huddle" with host Dave Holcomb. Just like last season, Holcomb has brought in FN Senior Writer Tom Pollin to help him breakdown Super Bowl XLVIII. The Seahawks defense was flying high in New Jersey, causing four turnovers and scoring twice while also returning a kickoff for a touchdown. Wide Receiver Percy Harvin not only played, but was dynamic as ever and quarterback Russell Wilson was as poised as ever playing on the NFL's biggest stage. But what happened to the Broncos? QB Peyton Manning struggled despite the warmer than expected temperatures, Denver could not establish any sort of running game, and the Broncos defense lived up to its billing by stopping the run but not the pass. Holcomb and Pollin discuss all that and more. Finally in the last 'Fourth and Long' segment of the season, guest star Tom Pollin stays to debate the Seahawks' chances at a repeat, the possibility of Peyton Manning retiring, and the 2014 Hall of Fame Class.

Football Nation presents "Monday Morning Huddle" with host Dave Holcomb. On this week's episode, Holcomb asks guest star Cooper Allen seven burning questions to start the Super Bowl discussion. With all the analysis of "Omaha" and Richard Sherman's "Thugness", it might be nice to hear some actual discussion of the game and that's what listeners get in the first segment. In the second segment, Holcomb makes his award predictions which will be announced on Saturday, and then debates the success of the 2014 Pro Bowl. Then in the 'Fourth and Long' segment, the host lets out his anger about Commissioner Roger Goodell's proposal for taking out extra points and discusses two Football Nation articles with the exact same title, but different conclusions. Finally, Holcomb makes his final prediction of the 2013 season and tells the audience who will win Super Bowl XLVIII.

Football Nation proudly presents a Championship edition of Monday Morning Huddle with host Dave Holcomb. On this week's show, the host dissects the important factors of the Broncos' and Seahawks' victories in their respective conference championship games. First, Seattle sticks to its running game plan and comes back to defeat San Francisco 23-17. Running back Marshawn Lynch had a big impact rushing for over 100 yards, but the referees questionable calls certainly didn't hurt Seattle in most cases. For New England, they did not get any running game going on Sunday and virtually had no offense to speak of through the first three quarters. A near perfect game from Peyton Manning put Denver in its seventh Super Bowl. What does the results of the AFC Championship mean for Manning and Tom Brady's legacies? That, along with why Championship Sunday is better than Super Bowl Sunday and Richard Sherman's post game interview are debated in the 'Fourth and Long' segment.

Football Nation's "Monday Morning Huddle" Championship Sunday

The AFC and NFC Championship are just a few days away. Four teams remain and only two will advance for the privilege of competing for the Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl XLVIII. The Patriots and Broncos start things off at 3:00 pm (est) in the AFC Championship and the 49ers and Seahawks will cap off Championship weekend on Sunday Night at 6:30 pm (est). Todd DeVries and Bill Enright host this special two hour Conference Championship preview episode of Football Nation and break down each of these should be classic match-ups.

Football Nation Radio: AFC and NFC Championship Special

There were eight teams heading into the Divisional and only four teams made it out alive. For the most part, the four teams we all assumed would win ended up being victorious. The Seahawks, Patriots, 49ers, and Broncos all won their match-ups which makes for a very exciting AFC and NFC Championship round but on the flip side, the Divisional Games left us fans wanting a bit more excitement.
