Section 506 Podcast: January 3, 2026
A belated Happy New Year from the Section 506 Podcast to you and your loved ones. JP, Jason, and Devin are back to talk about the Week 18 maps, and Jason zeroes in on one decision that irked him out of the four maps. The discussion then shifts to Sunday Night Football, and the rationale of just exactly why NBC and the NFL agreed to have the Ravens-Steelers game on SNF, as opposed to other options in Seahawks-49ers and Panthers-Buccaneers. Jason then gives his thoughts on CBS cutting off Gary Danielson's farewell following his last game.Thi...

Section 506 Podcast: December 23, 2025
Happy Holidays from the Section 506 Podcast! This week's episode comes a day earlier than normal due to it being Christmas Week, but there's no shortage of discussion for JP, Jason, and Devin. First they dig into what is effectively a two-map Week 17 given FOX has a full national Eagles-Bills clash. Then, it's another look at Week 18 and what games could be national. After that, the gang discuss how the FanDuel RSNs are once again in trouble of staying afloat. And then it's time to bring it all home with a Festivus-style" Ai...

Section 506 Podcast: December 17, 2025
This week's edition of the Section 506 Podcast focus on the embarrassment of riches FOX has in its Week 16 singleheader lineup, compared to CBS limping through its early window of the doubleheader. JP, Devin and Jason then take a stab at the Week 18 marquee games based on results through Week 15, a topic they'll revisit again for sure. And then the announcement of The Oscars moving to streaming-only in 2029 had JP pondering the future of broadcast TV vesus streaming, especially on the sports front. A fun show as always, so be sure to ch...

NFL 2025 week 16: Update 1
It looks like CBS was waiting on the outcome of this week's games (especially whether the Chiefs game still has meaning) before waiting on making firm decisions about week 16.

Section 506 Podcast: December 10, 2025
The Section 506 Podcast is back with a vengeance after a week off. JP, Devin, and Jason go well over an hour for this edition, starting off with a Week 14 NFL Maps post-mortem, followed by the Week 15 maps. All of the Week 16 and Week 17 changes to the NFL schedule are combed over, and then the massive Thanksgiving Day ratings for Kansas City-Dallas are discussed. The trio wrap it all up giving their insights into Awful Announcing's reader-based rankings of the NFL announcing crews for the networks. This is a very packed show and worth chec...

Section 506 Podcast: November 26, 2025
It's Thanksgiving weekend in the United States, and in honor of Black Friday, we've decided to make this week's podcast FREE for everyone to listen to. It is a quicker edition, though, because of the holiday. No Jason this week, so JP runs over the Week 13 maps with Devin. At the end, JP also touches on NBCSN and ESPN Plus. Enjoy this podcast, in addition to your food and football, and may your holiday weekend be safe!

Section 506 Podcast: November 19, 2025
This week's edition of the Section 506 Podcast has the theme of, "We recorded this the night before stuff changed, so now the podcast is out of date!" Listen to JP, Devin, and Jason talk Wednesday night about a Lions game inexplicably airing through a swath of AFC North territory, just for FOX to (rightfully) change the assignment to the A game of the window this morning. And then listen to them discuss potential flexes for future weeks, in which Week 14's announced flex today was nailed right on the head by Jason. Add in some t...
