Throwbacks with Matt Leinart & Jerry Ferrara – Details, episodes & analysis

Welcome to Throwbacks! In our debut episode, Matt Leinart and Jerry Ferrara get you set for the NFL's return by running through some of the season's big questions – which team is prime for a bounce back year, which offseason acquisition is most likely to pay off, which starting QB is destined to be benched and much much more!  Then, actor Ashton Kutcher joins to share his outlook on one of the league’s most intriguing teams, his beloved Chicago Bears. Ashton goes deep into the franchise’s historical shortcomings at QB and reflects on Dennis Green’s memorable rant following Chicago’s Monday Night win over Matt’s Arizona Cardinals. Plus, Ashton reflects on his time as a high school defensive coordinator and explains just how seriously he coaches up his 7-year-old son’s flag football team.   New episodes of Throwbacks drop every Thursday.

It’s a bonus edition of Throwbacks as Matt – who was in the Bronx for Game 5 – basks in the glory of a Dodgers championship while Jerry recedes into the darkness of a Yankees meltdown.   The guys share their thoughts on all angles of this year’s World Series – from the raw emotion of the final out to one of the most disastrous innings in baseball history. Plus, we wonder what uniform Juan Soto is most likely to be wearing in 2025; could it possibly be the uniform of the team that just defeated him? And Jerry tells us how he managed to cope with the Yankees loss and when he thinks he’ll be ready to start thinking about baseball again.  New episodes of Throwbacks drop every Thursday.
