Episode 317 of No Credentials Required is an absolute rollercoaster! Ryan McCarthy and Dustin Henry are breaking down all the jaw-dropping moves from the NFL trade deadline. Seriously, if you’re a New York Jets fan, make sure you’re sitting down: Sauce Gardner got shipped off to the Colts and Quinnen Williams was traded to Dallas. Co-host and Jets fan Ryan is still recovering. They talk through all the drama, what it means for the teams involved, and how fans are handling the shock.
On top of that, the guys recap the wildest games from NFL Week 9, including the insane Bears-Bengals shootout and Raiders-Jags nailbiter. Plenty of laughs, a few rants, some genuine sports heartbreak, and a couple of fan-favorite segments - like their picks for peak performer of the week, biggest upset, and the greatest athlete to ever wear number 80 (spoiler: you know who it is).
Stick around for Dustin Henry's plug for his Extra Life gaming marathon fundraiser and all the usual banter. If you love football, surprises, and hearing fans lose their minds (in a good way), this episode is for you. Grab a drink, get comfy, and let’s talk sports!

The NFL talk heats up on No Credentials Required! Ryan McCarthy and Dustin Henry break down the Thursday Night Football game that sent shockwaves through the NFL, culminating in the dismissal of Dolphins GM Chris Grier after Miami’s embarrassing loss to the Ravens.

The conversation moves into a full preview of NFL Week 9, including their most intriguing matchups, a deep dive into player performances to watch (spoiler: Jonathan Taylor and several rising rookies earn spotlight mentions), and some good-natured ribbing over the endless “quarterbacks always win MVP” narrative.
