The Kevin Sheehan Show

Hour 1, Kevin opens the show with some thoughts on Aaron Rai's PGA Championship victory as well as a look ahead at the NBA conference finals. Then, we hit a "What do ya got?" on the passing of former Redskins play caller Sherm Lewis. Before closing out the first hour with a discussion on Aaron Rodgers return to Pittsburgh and a final thought on Caitlin Clark and the WNBA.

Hour 2, NFL Analytics Schedule Planning Manager Max St. John joins Kevin Sheehan on The Team 980 to provide an inside look at how the NFL schedule is constructed, breaking down the league’s process for balancing competitive fairness, television windows, travel demands, primetime exposure, and marquee matchups throughout the season. Later in the show, Kevin opens the discussion to listeners by asking which NFL quarterbacks are truly capable of leading their teams to a conference championship this season, sparking debate across both conferences before offering his own predictions and evaluating where Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels fits into the evolving landscape of elite NFL passers.

Hour 3, Ben Standig joins Kevin Sheehan to break down the Washington Commanders’ biggest roster needs, expectations for the 2026 season, and how the organization is positioning itself after an offseason filled with growing national attention and heightened expectations. The conversation explores Washington’s remaining concerns on both sides of the ball, the pressure surrounding the team’s difficult schedule, and how the franchise’s long-term outlook continues to evolve around quarterback Jayden Daniels and head coach Dan Quinn. Later in the hour, Kevin reacts to comments from Eli Manning during an appearance on Bussin' With The Boys, where the former Giants quarterback detailed why he refused to play for the San Diego Chargers over 20 years ago, a decision that ultimately led to one of the most famous draft-day trades in NFL history with the New York Giants.

The show wraps with NBA draft discussion as scouts debate whether they would rather build around elite prospects AJ Dybantsa or Darryn Peterson, sparking conversation about upside, fit, and which player projects as the better long-term franchise cornerstone.

Eli Manning revealed on a recent podcast why he didn't want to go to the Chargers when they were going to draft him No. 1 overall in 2004...and discussing that led Kevin to remember some more bad Marty Schottenheimer luck.
