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.

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