Jimmy Smith joins Any Given Sunday Australia for one of our best yarns yet.

From growing up in country NSW and accidentally choosing the University of Alabama because of some questionable advice from a mate, to falling completely in love with college football, discovering the insanity of Philadelphia sports fans and eventually making the leap from traditional media into the world of content creation — Jimmy's journey is anything but conventional.

We get stuck into Jimmy's time in the US, his connection to the NFL, the decision to back himself and leave radio behind, and what it's really like chasing a career in sports media on your own terms.

Then we get into the BIG stuff.

Jimmy gives us the inside word on the NFL's arrival in Melbourne, what he's seen from the 49ers and Rams, Kyle Shanahan, Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Mike Evans and the massive opportunity Australia now has to grow the game.

Plus, Jimmy reveals what really happened during his insane 36-hour Super Bowl trip with the Eagles — including the party, the Lombardi Trophy, Jordan Mailata and the decision that saw him turn down a certain pop superstar's after-party.

And of course, we couldn't let Jimmy leave without getting his early Super Bowl and MVP predictions for the season.

This one has it all — NFL, media, Super Bowls, Philly, Australia, FIFA, PlayStation, terrible golf and plenty of shit talk.

The NFL is officially taking over Melbourne — and with the Rams and 49ers arriving for the historic NFL Melbourne game this week, there couldn't be a better time to ask: why do Australians love American football?

In the latest episode of the Any Given Sunday Australia Summer Series, we sit down with one of Australia's best-known sports content creators, Jarra Davis, to hear his NFL story.

From discovering the game through Super Bowl 50 in Year 7, to becoming an NFL obsessive, creating content from his bedroom and eventually working in sports media, Jarra gives us a unique perspective on just how far the NFL has come in Australia.

We talk about what makes the NFL so addictive, the crossover between AFL and American football, the explosion of NFL content in Australia, and why the Melbourne game is such a massive moment for Australian fans.

And with the NFL literally landing in Melbourne this week, we get Jarra's thoughts on what this moment means for the sport — and where the NFL can go from here in Australia.

The game is here. The hype is real. And Australian NFL fandom is only getting bigger. 🇦🇺🏈
