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. 🇦🇺🏈

🎙️ Any Given Sunday Australia — the NFL show made for Australian fans.

WEEK 1 IS HERE! 🔥

The training camp bullshit is over. The preseason narratives are done. REAL FOOTBALL IS BACK.

The Any Given Sunday Australia crew are finally diving into Week 1, breaking down the biggest matchups, making some seriously bold calls and asking one very important question: who's actually ready to back up the hype?

We kick things off with a Super Bowl rematch as the Seahawks host the Patriots, including the pressure of Seattle raising its championship banner, Sam Darnold trying to prove last season wasn't a fluke, and whether Drake Maye can avoid the dreaded sophomore regression.

Then it's off to Cowboys vs Giants, where Jackson Dart, Dak Prescott, George Pickens and a potentially explosive Cowboys offence take centre stage.

And then there's Broncos vs Chiefs — Patrick Mahomes' health, a potentially vulnerable Kansas City side, and a Denver defence that could have a massive say in the AFC West race.

Plus, we hit plenty of other Week 1 games, including:

🏈 Ravens vs Colts
🏈 Bills vs Texans
🏈 Buccaneers vs Bengals
🏈 Vikings vs Packers
🏈 And plenty more

Who are we backing? Who's getting upset? Which games could turn into absolute shootouts? And which teams are about to remind everyone that Week 1 predictions are usually a terrible idea?

Football is back, boys.

Let's fucking go. 🏈🔥

We break down everything surrounding the biggest NFL game Australia has ever seen — from the insane hype across Melbourne and the Kickoff Festival, to the big question: does flying in early actually give the 49ers an advantage?

The biggest moment in Australian NFL history is almost here.🏈

In this special episode of Any Given Sunday Australia, we sit down with NFL Australia & New Zealand GM Charlotte Offord to go behind the scenes on the incredible journey that has brought the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers to the MCG for the NFL's first-ever regular-season game in Australia. (NFL)

Charlotte takes us through what has been a two-to-three-year journey behind the scenes, from growing the NFL's Australian fanbase to finally delivering a regular-season game — and reveals why she sees the Melbourne game as a milestone rather than the destination.

🔥 In this interview, we talk about:

• How NFL fandom in Australia has grown from 5.7 million fans in 2022 to 8.8 million today

• The huge amount of work that went into securing Australia's first regular-season NFL game

• How Charlotte originally pushed for a preseason game before the NFL came back with something much bigger

• Why getting a Week 1 game between NFC West rivals the Rams and 49ers is such a massive deal

• How the NFL secured the MCG and why the stadium was the perfect venue

• The possibility of seeing different NFL teams rotate through Australia in future years

• The three-game commitment at the MCG and what could come next

• The enormous week of NFL events taking over Melbourne

• The NFL Kickoff Festival at Melbourne Park

• The NFL Shop and the push to bring all 32 teams' merchandise to Australian fans

• The incredible pre-game entertainment planned for the MCG

• The NFL's plans to make the Melbourne game a genuine full-day fan experience

• What fans need to know about security and the MCG's clear-bag policy

• Charlotte's relationship with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and his commitment to growing the game globally

• The future of flag football in Australian schools

• How flag football has grown from a pilot program in just 10 schools to more than 500 schools

• The potential impact of flag football ahead of the 2032 Brisbane Olympics

• And, of course, who Charlotte thinks will win Rams vs 49ers! 👀

Charlotte also gives us a fascinating insight into the long-term vision for the NFL in Australia — including her hope that games here eventually become a regular annual event.

And with the Rams vs 49ers officially confirmed as the historic first game, this isn't just another international fixture. It's the beginning of what could be a very different future for the NFL Down Under. (San Francisco 49ers)

🎙️ A fascinating conversation with one of the people at the centre of bringing the NFL to Australia.

The NFL is coming to Melbourne. And according to Charlotte Offord… this is just the starting point.

The Any Given Sunday Australia boys are back with Episode 8, and we’re wrapping up our divisional previews with the NFC West — and what a division to finish on.

With the Seahawks coming off a Super Bowl win, the Rams loading up on defence, the 49ers desperate to stay healthy and the Cardinals looking to find some answers, there are plenty of questions heading into the 2026 season.

We break down:

🏆 Can the Seahawks go back-to-back?
🩼 Can the 49ers finally stay healthy?
🔥 Are the Rams now Super Bowl or bust?
👀 Could Aaron Donald actually return?
💰 Is Brock Purdy worth the big contract?
📈 Will Carson Beck eventually take over in Arizona?
📊 Over or under on every NFC West team's win total
🌶️ Three VERY hot NFC West takes

And with the 49ers vs Rams Melbourne game just two weeks away, the boys get stuck into who they think will come out on top when the NFL hits Australia.

Plus, we finish with some completely unnecessary Packers, Eagles and Bills preseason chat… because apparently we can't stay on topic for more than five minutes. 😂

The NFC West is loaded. The Rams look terrifying. The Seahawks have a title to defend. The Niners are healthy-ish. And the Cardinals… well, they're here too.
