Who decided these people didn't matter?

Every athlete in this episode was elite, not just good, and the sports world still managed to forget them. Jacob goes solo to talk sports media, who actually gets the mic, and three untold stories for Black History Month UK.

🎙️ Fresh off the NFL London game, Jacob asks why sports media is so personality-driven and whether the people with real knowledge of the game are being overlooked.

Then three stories that should be taught in every school:🚴 Major Taylor, the fastest cyclist on the planet in 1899, banned from the track and died with nothing🏃‍♀️ Louise Stokes & Tidye Pickett, the first Black American women on an Olympic team, benched when they'd earned their place⚽ Arthur Wharton, the world's first Black professional footballer, whose grave stayed unmarked for decades

Joe is in Philadelphia and Jacob is on the move, but the NFL episode still gets delivered. We each went to a game this weekend: Jacob at Jaguars vs Texans at Wembley, and Joe at Eagles vs Panthers in Philly. We break down both, then get into the Jalen Hurts blood clot situation and the questions it raises about team doctors, travel and who gets cleared to play.

A GP, an aesthetics doctor and now a skincare founder. Dr Adetola Adegoke (Dr Tola) joins us to talk about building Yokuro, a luxury skincare brand made end to end in Nigeria.

We get into why Black skin still needs sunscreen, whether your 5-step routine is too much, what it really takes to register a product in Nigeria, the $25,000 formula dispute that nearly derailed the brand, and how faith guided the whole journey. Plus men's skincare, song of the week and a very honest Arsenal chat.

Week 5 of the NFL was a week of mistakes, and we’re breaking down all of it. Joe, Dej and Jacob cover the London game, the Commanders and Giants tie, the Seahawks and 49ers shootout and Ravens vs Falcons without Lamar Jackson. They also debate whether Nick Sirianni is a scapegoat, how long Cam Ward should get, and who the real MVP is on the Lions’ offense.

Peez is back, and he's basically the fourth member of the team at this point. 😂

This week Jacob and Peez get into a full athletics season review. They cover Peez's knee surgery recovery, Amy Hunt's breakout year, Melissa vs Julien Alfred, Tobogo's underwhelming season, and the standout and disappointing athletes of the year. Then they ask whether winning takes its toll on elite managers like Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho, and look at Man United's post-Ferguson slide and Arsenal learning how to win. They finish with songs of the week.

NFL Week 4 is in the books, and Jacob and Dej go through every game. The Commanders' injury crisis, the Texans' defence falling apart, the Bills falling to the Patriots, and Jacob's claim that Brock Purdy is the current MVP.

🏈 We start with the Commanders vs Colts London game, then work through the whole Sunday slate and the Sunday Night Football clash between Jacob's Panthers and the Lions. We finish with our picks for Monday Night Football (Falcons vs Saints).

Plus: why "all interceptions aren't created equal" (Joe Burrow, Jacoby Brissett), whether the Lions' Super Bowl window has slammed shut, and the Cam Ward QB development debate.

Joe and Jacob are back on For a Different Lens with a full NFL Week 3 reaction show after one of the best Sundays of football in years. Nearly every game came down to one score, and there are plenty of takes.

In this episode:

🏈 Steelers vs Bengals: Aaron Rodgers, the run game, and why the AFC North is so hard to predict

🏈 Jaguars vs Patriots: Jacksonville looks strong, but how worried should we be about Drake Maye and the Pats?

🏈 Commanders vs Seahawks: the shock of the weekend. Marcus Mariota, Sonny Styles, and did Seattle need this loss?

🏈 Jets vs Lions: are the Jets better than their record, and is Detroit's Super Bowl window closing?

🏈 Browns' surprise win: credit to Deshaun Watson and that defence

🏈 Cardinals vs 49ers: another one-score battle

🏈 Raiders' comeback win: Kirk Cousins and the Chiefs' defensive concerns

🏈 Cowboys vs Ravens: a wild finish, Lamar Jackson's escape, and clock-management questions

🏈 Rams vs Broncos: were the Rams robbed by the refs, and what is Bo Nix doing in the fourth quarter?

🏈 A look ahead to Monday Night Football: Bears vs Eagles

Let us know who you think had the best game of the week in the comments, and which of our takes you disagree with.
