NFL UK Assemble. This is a public service announcement. Over at the NACCUMM show, we are in agreement about one thing and one thing only. With the 2025 NFL season fast approaching, Hickory Smokehouse is the only place to be. Smoke an authentic barbecue, ice cold beers, big screens in every direction showing all the games,

Red Zone, and presumably my podcast on a loop.

Yeah, it's everything you could ever desire from an NFL Sunday,

apart from maybe watching the games live with Antonio Brown and Bill Belichick's new girlfriend.

So find your nearest Hickory Smokehouse at Hickories.com.

And make this NFL season your tastiest yet.

To celebrate the start of the season, the championship chat podcast has teamed up with

Skybet to celebrate the world's wildest emotional rollercoaster, being a football fan.

Skybet understands the beautiful chaos of being a football fan. It will lift you up,

break you down and stitch you back together with hope because for all the pain of a looming relegation or a missed penalty, there's nothing quite like the absolute scenes of a last minute winner that leaves you hugging people around you you've never met in your life. As two Sheffield Wednesday fans, times are tough at the moment with transfer embargoes and unpaid wages, but it would happily go through all that again to relive the miracle of Hillsborough. Four nil down against Peterbury United,

and we were there to witness the best comeback in playoff history. Being a fan isn't for everyone.

Some people say it's just a game, and people question why we shout at the TV or stand in the

pouring rain just to see our team lose 1-0.

But those who get it, there's nothing quite like it.

The highs and the lows, the heartache and the glory, it's all part of the ride.

And is it worth it?

You bet it is.

Not for everyone.

For the fans, Skybet.

Every time I play, I wish that I could win.

Vortex, vortex.
