A New NFL Podcast Promises Pure Football Without the Gambling Noise
By Editor • September 4, 2026 • 1 min read
For football enthusiasts looking to tune into an NFL podcast devoid of gambling discussions, Defector Media has launched a fresh alternative. Dubbed ALL BALL: The Defector NFL podcast, this show aims to deliver unfiltered football commentary, steering clear of the typical gambling and fantasy chatter that often dominates the airwaves.
Hosted by Arif Hasan, known for his work at Wide Left, and a yet-to-be-named co-host, ALL BALL will explore the latest matchups, analyze team performances, and inject humor into the sport, all while completely eliminating sponsorship ties to sportsbooks. The hosts encourage listeners to engage by sending in questions that will be addressed in upcoming episodes.
The inaugural episode is set to drop next week, with plans for a weekly airing throughout the NFL season. Fans can find the show on the feed previously used by The Distraction, and they are encouraged to subscribe to catch all the action. As the podcasting landscape continues to get muddled with gambling content, ALL BALL promises to be a refreshing, focused take on America’s favorite sport.
