Fully Loaded The Podcast

DK Metcalf's $100 Million fan lawsuit and the Colts' Anthony Richardson disaster are the talk of the NFL!

Hall of Famer Cris Carter and Shawn Meaike break down Aaron Rodgers' future in Pittsburgh, the NBA playoffs flopping controversy, and the NFL referee lockout crisis that could destroy the 2026 season on Episode 98 of Fully Loaded.

WHAT WE COVER THIS WEEK:

A fan is demanding $100 million after DK Metcalf grabbed his shirt — and Cris Carter calls it exactly what it is.

The Indianapolis Colts made a colossal mistake drafting Anthony Richardson at number four overall and now they're paying the price.

Is Aaron Rodgers done in the NFL? Absolutely not. Cris Carter breaks down exactly why Rodgers is definitely playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2026 and why his familiarity with Mike McCarthy gives them a real shot at competing in the AFC.

The NFL referee lockout is the most underreported story of the 2026 offseason. With billions of dollars in gambling on the line, the NFL is training replacement refs from Division 2 and Division 3 college football to call NFL games. Cris Carter explains why this could be the most catastrophic mistake in NFL history.

Travis Hunter's dual role debate continues. Cris Carter makes the case for why Hunter should be a cornerback first and why the Jacksonville Jaguars made a mistake prioritizing the offensive side of the ball in year one.
