Ep. 629 – Actually, it felt more like a recurring nightmare. Five straight losses the Cardinals have suffered; and this most recent one saw them blow a 10-point fourth-quarter lead. Craig Grialou and Paul Calvisi look back at Sunday’s 19-16 overtime defeat to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Was the loss more a product of the Cardinals hurting themselves, i.e. turnovers and penalties? Or did it have more to do with giving Brady—perhaps the greatest quarterback to have ever played—too many extra opportunities late in the game and then, obviously, in overtime? Whatever the reason, it was not a very Merry Christmas.

Ep. 982 - Good to be back in studio. More importantly, good to be back in Arizona. The heat is preferred over the cold for both Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck. And though the two are happy to have returned to familiar surroundings, it does not mean they are done talking about their time in Indianapolis and the 2026 Scouting Combine. Among the many guests Craig and Dani talked to were ESPN NFL Draft Analysts Jordan Reid and Matt Miller. Both like the offensive line depth in the draft - by the way, they each recently mocked Miami OT Francis Mauigoa to the Cardinals - and believe good players can be found despite the lack of star power at the quarterback position.

Ep. 981 - Just. Draft. Good. Football. Players. Sounds simple, right? Well, it’s never that easy. On their last day at the 2026 Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck are joined by The Athletic’s Dane Brugler, the author of ‘The Beast,’ a must-have draft guide for those who enjoy those three days in April. Brugler gives his thoughts on the options - offensive tackle or edge rusher - for the Cardinals with the third overall pick, what positions he sees are the deepest in this year’s draft class, how unlikely it is to expect a lot of trades early on Day 1, and why so many tight ends have been invited to the combine.

Ep. 980 - Could the 2026 NFL Draft deliver a surprise at No. 3 overall? According to ESPN’s Field Yates, absolutely, and that surprise could even be a quarterback. Yes, he went there. Yates joined Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck from the 2026 Scouting Combine in Indianapolis to break down the possibilities. He outlined what Monti Ossenfort might consider if he has “strong conviction” about selecting a quarterback in the first round, including a detailed evaluation of Alabama’s Ty Simpson. The conversation also explored alternative directions at No. 3, such as targeting an offensive lineman or edge rusher, and examined the overall depth of this year’s wide receiver class. And in a lighter moment, Yates shared that he’s hoping to convince his expecting wife to name their child Michael Wilson Yates.
