Welcome to The Football Corner!
On the inaugural episode, Seth Dowdle introduces The Football Corner and what this new home for football is all about: documenting, discussing and celebrating the stories that make the NFL, college football and soccer so special. Then, with all three seasons either here or right on the horizon, we dive into three of the biggest storylines to watch in each sport in 2026.
First, we head to the NFL to ask which struggling fanbases might finally fall in love with their teams again, why this feels like a now-or-never season for Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, and whether an unusually quiet offseason in Dallas could actually be a good sign for the Cowboys. Then, it’s time for college football, where Notre Dame appears to have a clear path to the College Football Playoff, Texas Tech has fully embraced its new role as one of the sport’s villains, and Lane Kiffin at LSU promises to be must-see television.
Finally, we head across the Atlantic for the soccer season. José Mourinho is back at Real Madrid, the Premier League is undergoing a massive managerial revolution, and after a grueling stretch of club and international football culminating with the 2026 World Cup, player fatigue could become one of the defining stories of the season.
