Dan and Frank kick off Season 7 with Allen “Action” Jackson and sound wizard Rich Vassallo—same goofballs, brand-new season.

This week:

• Yankees check-in: Chance to gain on Toronto… promptly down 4–0. Judge still productive but nagged, deadline arms underwhelming, Boone watch simmers.
• Mets meter: Bats flicker, starters fade by the 5th, bullpen roulette. Soto scorching, Vientos rising, faith level… medium.
• Phillies pulse: After the Mets sweep wobble, Philly steadies with series wins; magic number: 14.
• NL picture: Dodgers healthier but Kershaw looks like a farewell tour; Verlander/Scherzer flashes; Milwaukee quietly scary (even after Philly’s series win in Brew City).
• CFB openers: Ohio State–Texas underwhelms on offense, defenses pop; Arch shows jitters but perspective; Penn State cruises; Liberty wins despite fan gripes; quick looks at Iowa–Iowa State, Ole Miss–Kentucky, Oregon–Oklahoma State, and Michigan at Oklahoma.
• Mailbag (JT in Nashville): Dez says Jerry’s loading up for Arch Manning—Dan says there’s no real merit. Cowboys QB future talk ensues.

Welcome to Season 7! Dan and Frank are back in the Bomb Shelter with Allen “Action” Jackson and intrepid sound man Rich Vassallo to launch a fresh year of Sports Fellowship, with plenty to chew on right out of the gate.

What’s inside

• MLB stretch-run vibes
  • Yankees: Allen vents as New York wastes a chance to gain on Toronto; Judge still productive but looks nagged, pitching upgrades not paying off yet.
  • Mets: Frank’s rollercoaster—bats flicker, starters fade early, bullpen wobbles. Soto heating up, Vientos popping, faith…medium.
  • Phillies: “Duct tape & chicken wire” phase after a Mets sweep, yet big series wins follow. Magic number sits at 14.
  • NL West watch: Are the Dodgers getting healthy at the right time? Kershaw nostalgia vs. reality, plus Verlander/Scherzer temperature checks.
• College Football week 1/2 takeaways
  • Ohio State–Texas underwhelms on offense; both defenses look legit.
  • Arch Manning jitters, humble Heisman answer, and why Texas will look very different a month from now.
  • Penn State cruises; Liberty edges Jacksonville State; quick hits on Iowa–Iowa State, Ole Miss–Kentucky, Oregon–Oklahoma State, and Michigan at Oklahoma.
• Mailbag
  • Listener JT asks about Dez Bryant’s theory that Jerry is “loading up” for Arch Manning. Dan says: no real merit. They also kick around hypothetical Cowboys QB futures and that floating Micah Parsons trade chatter.
• Survivor Pool update
  • We’re at 61 participants. One game down—no eliminations yet.

It’s the long-awaited Fantasy Football Extravaganza on Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank! Dan and Frank are joined by Rich Vassallo and the returning Allen “Action” Jackson for a lively, jam-packed episode.

The guys kick things off with a reminder about the Sports Fellowship Survivor Pool (entries due Thursday, Sept. 4 at noon — email picks to sportswithfoxandfrank@gmail.com). Then it’s straight into the week’s sports headlines:

• ⚾ Yankees: Allen vents about brutal fielding errors despite the team’s mini win streak.
• ⚾ Mets: Frank bemoans pitching woes, bullpen collapses, and a lack of clutch hitting.
• ⚾ Phillies: Can Kyle Schwarber’s historic home run pace carry them to the division crown?

But the spotlight belongs to fantasy football:

• Who’s the true No. 1 overall pick — Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes, or Josh Allen?
• Should the league add a mandatory second RB slot to balance out wide receiver value in PPR?
• How the “super-flex” two-QB format changes everything on draft night.
• Why Dan believes Jalen Hurts’ “tush push” touchdowns make him fantasy gold.

Along the way, Jerry Jones’ Cowboys catch strays, the Giants’ QB room sparks debate, and preseason surprises fuel plenty of laughs (and some rants).

Dan Fox and Frank Knight return for Episode 48, the Jacob deGrom episode, to talk baseball struggles, football predictions, and plenty of controversy. With Allen “Action” Jackson absent, the guys still keep it rolling alongside Rich Vassallo.

The show kicks off with reminders about the Sports Fellowship Survivor Pool (entries due by Sept. 4 at noon), before diving into baseball’s dog days. The Mets keep inventing new ways to lose, the Phillies can’t find consistency, and the Yankees look shaky in the field. The crew debates whether Soto has been worth the money, why Bobby Abreu comparisons sting, and how managers like Terry Francona can tilt playoff races.

On the gridiron, Dan and Frank predict the NFC division outcomes, spar with each other over the Cowboys’ disarray (injuries, Jerry Jones drama, and Micah Parsons’ contract standoff), and discuss why Week 1 against Philadelphia could get ugly. Preseason football gets its due, do breakout performances really matter?, and college football news makes waves as Michigan’s sign-stealing scandal fizzles into light penalties.

The episode wraps with Dan’s rant against Mike Florio’s claim that the NFL “favors the Chiefs,” breaking down why suspension appeals, not conspiracies, explain Rashee Rice’s situation.

Dan Fox and Frank Knight christen the Tom Glavine episode by sparring over No. 47 greats, then dive into a busy week on the diamond. The Mets’ bats go ice‑cold, the Yankees look fundamentally shaky as injuries linger, and the Dodgers keep cruising while Shohei Ohtani homers and deals in the same week. Phillies fans get a scare with Zack Wheeler’s shoulder discomfort, a bumped start, and talk of a six‑man rotation.

On the football side, preseason kicks off and the guys react to rookie QB buzz, Archie Manning saying Arch will stay at Texas at least another year, and why multiple college starting seasons still matter for NFL success. Dan vents about the Cowboys: joint‑practice struggles, a banged‑up O‑line and secondary, and the never‑ending Micah/Jerry contract circus that could drag down Dallas’ win total.

Plus: Frank’s take on Aaron Boone’s leash, Stanton in RF, and whether a DH (hello, Kyle Schwarber) can truly be an MVP.

This week, Dan and Frank dive into a busy week in sports, starting with the MLB trade deadline madness. From the Yankees’ epic collapse to the Phillies, Mets, Dodgers, and even the Mariners making moves, we break down:

• Which teams loaded up for a playoff push
• Why Minnesota put up the for-sale sign and sent Carlos Correa back to Houston
• The puzzling moves (and non-moves) from contenders like Cleveland and Atlanta

Then we shift to the NFL preseason kickoff:

• The Hall of Fame Game returns and we debate which early preseason storylines matter
• Washington’s new dome stadium plans and what it means for fans and players
• Micah Parsons wants out – Dan explains why the Cowboys should consider trading him, and what a blockbuster deal could look like
• The ongoing trend of NFL players clashing with ownership over contracts and how it impacts team-building in a salary cap league

All this plus the usual hot takes, laughs, and inside commentary straight from the Bomb Shelter Studio.

Listen in for baseball shakeups, football drama, and classic Fox & Frank banter!

Live from the Fox Brothers Alarm Studio, it's the Bob Gibson episode of Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank! Dan welcomes Frank back—live from the hospital—and the guys are thrilled to have Allen “Action” Jackson in the studio once again. Emotions, rants, and laughs fly from the jump.

Allen unleashes a fiery tirade over MLB’s Apple TV exclusivity, especially with the Phillies and Yankees locked in a series he can’t watch. Dan pokes the bear (as usual), and Rich quietly stirs the pot. The crew talks Yankees trades, defensive woes, and what still needs to be fixed before the postseason. The Mets, Blue Jays, Dodgers, and even the unpredictable Mariners get airtime.

The conversation pivots to the NFL: why Micah Parsons may not be worth the hype, the Cowboys’ depth at DE, Jerry Jones' latest rant, and how union drama could impact player contracts. The Giants’ offense and defense get examined in training camp chatter, and Dan proposes the NFL has become a chessboard of load management, depth charts, and dollars.

Plus, Fantasy Football updates (no team specifics, don’t worry), the return of co-managers, and the countdown to draft day at Dubs on 5th.

You won’t want to miss this mix of sports analysis, passion, sarcasm, and friendly fire from Eastern Pennsylvania’s most opinionated podcast crew.

Welcome back to Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank! In this week's episode—dubbed “The Robert Newhouse Episode”—Dan and Frank kick things off with a spirited debate over who truly owns jersey number 44. Is it the Cowboys legend Newhouse, Hammerin’ Hank Aaron, Pistol Pete, or even... Barack Obama?

The guys are joined by their ever-dependable sound man, Rich Vassallo, and give a shout-out to their steak-hunting pal, Allen “Action” Jackson.

Then it’s all things baseball, starting with the All-Star break. Frank and Dan break down the Home Run Derby format, Cal Raleigh’s surprise win, and the heartwarming family dynamics behind the plate. They discuss mic'd-up players mid-game, Pete Alonso’s three-run blast, snubs like Juan Soto, and why the MLB still leads all major sports in having a watchable All-Star Game.

Also up for debate: the odd swing-off finale, questionable MVP choices, and whether exhibition games should even be competitive. You’ll also hear thoughts on the state of small-market teams, Paul Skenes’ future, and the economics of professional sports.
