Backward Pass
A sports podcast hosted by a brother-sister duo that care more about making you laugh than about being right. But when we are right, we make sure to rub it in each other’s faces. Each episode we’ll be tackling relevant sports content (truthfully, mostly football content) in a more-fun-less-hot-takes way.

It's the BIG GAME! David & Sharayah will be watching together for the first time since 2014. Sharayah has a hilariously painful story from that decidedly horrid game. David's blocked it completely from his brain. But not anymore! We talk about our most memorable Super Bowl's from the past. The good, the bad, and mostly the ugly.
Then David shakes up Sharayah's confidence with some Super Bowl Related Trivia.
Before all of that nonsense, we give our takes on this years less-than-fresh matchup. Find out who we are rooting for and more importantly WHY on Episode 21 of the Backward Pass Podcast!

...and the winner of the first Backy award goes to:
You'll have to listen to find out. David & Sharayah present the first ever Backy NFL Award ceremonies to various NFL-related participants. Did they want to win? Did they even want to be nominated? Find out our picks for best regular-season commercial, biggest crybaby, most surprising playoff run, and more in our 20th episode.
But first, we do some recapping. There's back-and-forth of the recent coaching shakeups. Sharayah monologues about Dan Lanning. David monologues about who he wants coaching the Seahawks. Then we take a look at our pre-season Beer Bets and see how we each will be drinking.
Will David ever reveal his pick for hottest NFL coach? Will Sharayah ever stop asking him? All this and more on the Backward Pass Podcast.

We took a few weeks off, and in that time we've both completely forgotten our manners. Let us air the dirty laundry that is our podcast etiquette: Is David recording on the banks of a babbling brook, or is that a fancy new cat water fountain in the background? Is Sharayah actively drinking something bubbly? Is David eating something chewy? Is Sharayah unwrapping and chomping at least 100 fancy chocolates?
We're sorry. That was a lot of extra editing. If you can listen beyond our beyond casual approach, we are practicing our divination and predicting Week 18 of the NFL, and how it will shake out the Playoff standings!
David introduces a free NFL playoff predictor website via Pro Football Network. Have some fun playing around with the results with us! We also complain about the Refs, Sharayah rants too much about the Lions, and David daydreams about a shirtless Kirk Cousins. It's episode 19 of the Backward Pass Podcast!

If you thought we've been taking the football season for granted, never fear. This one is CFB & NFL all the way down. Well, aside from when we talk about the almost psychotic ways we are leaning into the Santa Clause magic for our kiddos.
This is an all-banter episode, but we pre-planned airing our grievances (and straight up grief) about the PAC12. David shares his hopes for the Beavers in the coming seasons. Sharayah swears more than usual. David eats a burrito. We both talk about the weather.
Lend us your ear, we come to bury the PAC 12, not the praise them. Welcome to episode 18 of the Backward Pass Podcast.

Need a break from the NFL and football for a bit? We did, too. We've got a mid-season football hangover, and the cure seems to be talking about...
Wait, more football?
Flag football! We are psyched for this newcomer to the Summer Games circa LA 2028.
Plus, the return of the Olympics this coming summer looms close. Test your knowledge on the modern games during Sharayah's "Newcomers Edition" of Olympic Trivia.
Before that, we also dip into just a smidge of CFB talk (who doesn't love a good ol' cheatin' scandal, eh?). Take notes, class: it's Episode 17 of the Backward Pass Podcast.

TRIVIA TIME- We've got a jingle now, folks. Join us for some "Where Are They Now?" style trivia put together by David -NFL edition. See if you can beat Sharayah's score and learn something about some unique NFL players along the way.
Before trivia, we'll take you through some NFL chit chat (of course), and peruse through the NBA season opening week. Wemby talk will increase tenfold at the end of football season, most definitely. Then, we place some NBA Beer Bets we certainly won't remember a few weeks from now.
Buckle-up for safety (and stretch your Achilles tendons, please) it's Episode 16 of the Backward Pass Podcast!

That's no typo- in this episode David & Sharayah share their Quick Bite Quarter Back (QBQB) Hot Takes for every team in the NFL. Yep, even the ones we couldn't care less about. No debating allowed. You can audibly hear us bite our tongues. No- wait... That might just be Sharayah eating a cupcake through a large part of the episode.
Suit up for some CFB talk, a little NFL chit chat, and some Fantasy Football updates sprinkled in. Be sure to listen to the end, when David the Prophet makes a bold claim ahead of Sunday's NFL matchups. This is Episode 15 of the Backward Pass Podcast.

Super Bowl LVIII's halftime show performing artist was just announced! Yeah! While we both feel OK with this years choice, we have prepared pitches to the NFL for our Superb Artist picks for future halftime show shenanigans. We think you'll be impressed.
Before we titillate you with our persuasive presentations to Roger G. we've got some topics to tackle.
Listen to our takes on the Damian Lillard to the Bucks, and his partnership with Giannas the Greek Freak!
Then we spend as much time talking about the Pac 12 football season as we can without feeling depressed about next year.
All this and more (not a lot more, though, if we're honest) on episode 14 of the Backward Pass Podcast!

Important Announcement: We have found the sport we wish to pursue on our road to Olympic Glory! And we spend nearly the first 10 minutes of the show rhapsodizing about our future in it. For your entertainment, of course.
Then we reflect on the NFL opening week shenanigans, and set sail into the land of extremely premature Beer Bets.
Who will receive admonishment for a past podcasting error? Who will be our picks as the victors of each NFL Division? Who spent entirely too long creating a secret ending for the podcast David knows nothing about?
All this and more in the 13th episode of the Backward Pass Podcast!
