data-mm-id=”_0l069wsl3″>Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew engaged in a little playful, facial-hair inspired smack talk ahead of their team's Week 3 showdown. Fitzpatrick, blessed with the facial hair of a Civil War general, started it by saying a beard is cooler than a mustache. Minshew, focused solely on cultivating a 1970s adult-film mustache, fired back by saying he wouldn't disrespect his much, much elder elders, but he preferred the mustache. It was a fun exchange that would have easily translated to good radio, or I guess podcasts because that's what the people listen to these days. That got me thinking. Why wouldn't these two start their own podcast? It seems everyone is doing it now and, quite frankly, I can't think of a more well-suited duo than a couple of quarterbacks who created the nicknames Fitzmagic and Minshew Mania.With that in mind, here are some names for a potential podcast involving these two follicle stars. Minshew Magic Playing off the two nicknames, this one immediately tells you who the hosts are, which should pull listeners in. It also gives you that feeling that something magical is going to happen when you listen. It's just like watching them play in real life. The Jortist and the HairA highly-creative name coined by my co-worker Kyle Koster, this one plays off Minshew's love affair with jean shorts (jorts) and Fitzpatrick's thick head of wooly hair. Follically Undisputed I can't think of any athlete out there who has a better hair-facial-hair combo than Minshew and Fitzpatrick. They are undisputedly atop the follicle mountain. The Ivy PacIf these two want to do a college show, this name could really play up their collegiate connections. Fitzpatrick is a Harvard guy, in case you wanted to hear that for the millionth time, and Minshew went to Washington State. Lean into it. The Old and the Beautiful Fitzpatrick seems to relish his role as an elder statesman of the NFL and Minshew oozes sex appeal. This seems like a no-brainer. Facial Air Attack From the brain of TBL's Stephen Douglas, this is the perfect name for a couple of gunslinging QBs with the facial hair to back up their big arms. Stache and Full If they really want to make their facial hair debate a recurring segment, naming their podcast after the types of facial hair they prefer seems like an easy win-win.

The doctor at the centre of a Sunday Times report claiming he aided players from Premier League clubs in taking performance-enhancing drugs appeared to distance himself from the allegations.
The newspaper reported London-based doctor Mark Bonar was secretly filmed stating he had given athletes, including footballers, cyclists and tennis players, access to banned substances.
The Sunday Times acknowledged it had no independent evidence of the medic providing such treatment and made no suggestion that any of the clubs named had any knowledge of the alleged wrongdoing.
Bonar is said to have told the newspaper he administered treatment to the athletes for medical reasons and not to enhance performance, while it has not been suggested the substances were illegal.

Daily Mail is reporting that Barcelona midfielder Andre Gomes could soon be moving to English Premier League.
The Portugal international seems determined to leave Camp Nou in search of regular playing time, and it seems that England will be his next destination.
Namely, Tottenham and West Ham are believed to be keen on Gomes and they could make their moves in the coming days.
The 24-year-old only started two La Liga fixtures this season, while making another six substitute appearances, and he has utterly failed to impress since joining the club from Valencia.
Gomes is eager to move in an attempt to secure his place in the Portugal’s World Cup squad, after helping the Selecao lift the Euro 2016 trophy.

Burnley manager Sean Dyche hailed the efforts of the collective amid rumours of a move away from Turf Moor for the in-form Danny Ings.
England Under-21 international Ings was a key component of Burnley s promotion-winning campaign in 2013-14, scoring 20 league goals as the Lancashire club finished second in the Championship.
Ings has hit form in recent weeks for Dyche s men, scoring four times in his last five Premier League appearances as Burnley have taken seven points from their last three outings.
The striker s performances have led some to suggest he could be in line for a move away from Turf Moor in January, but Dyche preferred to focus on the qualities of the whole squad.
It s not just about Ingsy, he said. He s started scoring and gets the head…
Zlatan Ibrahimovic had words of praise for the cool Jose Mourinho, although the Sweden striker was less complimentary on the subject of France president Francois Hollande.
After confirming his departure from Paris Saint-Germain at the end of 2015-16, rumours abound that Ibrahimovic could be set for a sensational move to Manchester United.
Ibrahimovic is set to make an announcement on his Facebook page later on Tuesday although it is uncertain whether that will be linked with his playing future or an unrelated business venture.

England manager Roy Hodgson will demand honesty from Gareth Barry over his groin injury before naming his Euro 2012 squad on Tuesday.
The midfielder was forced off less than 30 minutes into a substitute appearance during Saturday s 1-0 friendly win over Norway, and requires a scan to determine the extent of the blow.
The scan could, however, be inconclusive, resulting in a dilemma ahead of the May 29 squad submission deadline over whether or not to select a player whose fitness is not assured.
We only have a couple of days to sort it out and we can t take any risks, Hodgson told reporters.
He is a very honest individual and whilst the scan will tell us a lot, if it doesn t give us the answer we want I shall be having a very serious discussion with him.…

Matheus Pereira scored one and provided three assists as West Brom moved back above Leeds United to the top of the Championship with a 5-1 thrashing of Swansea City.
The Baggies recorded their biggest win of the season and of Slaven Bilic s time in charge having been set on their way by Semi Ajayi s 25th-minute header.
Pereira then swept in his fifth goal of the season and though Sam Surridge reduced the deficit by poking in from on the line, Pereira released Hal Robson-Kanu to make it 3-1 before half-time.
A delicious chip from Pereira led to Matt Phillips heading in a fifth 20 minutes from time and West Brom s Brazilian playmaker also teed up substitute Kyle Edwards to get in on the act in a sixth successive win.

Borussia Dortmund ended the 2018/19 season in second place of the Bundesliga, but several were quite sad once the campaign ended. Since BVB spent most of the campaign at the top of the standings, finishing the year empty handed certainly felt like a disappointment for the German giants’ fanbase.
However, fans shouldn’t feel like that. In fact, not even one person associated with Borussia Dortmund should feel this season was a wasted year. In fact, this could be a huge year for the future of the club since they proved they can go toe-to-toe with Bayern. Something that was quite unlikely just 12 months ago.
A team built for the future
It only takes a look at the squad to see this club has a bright future ahead of themselves. Despite losing key players over the past f…
Inter win race for Argentine starlet
Italian daily that Inter are on the verge of signing Tigre midfielder Ruben Botta.
According to the Italian newspaper, the Neroazzurri have reached an agreement with the player’s representatives over a five-year deal worth around €1 million per campaign.
Once club president Massimo Moratti gives the green light, the transfer will be officially completed.
Inter have thus managed to win the race for the player who was also followed by Juventus, Tottenham and Roma.
The best thing here is that the 23-year-old holds an Italian passport and arrives at Giuseppe Meazza on a free transfer.
Ruben Botta is an attacking midfielder who has only recently established himself as a first team regular at Tigre, but…
Sunderland are keen on agreeing a permanent deal for Liverpool’s Fabio Borini, .
The Italian enjoyed a successful loan spell with the North East club last season, where his seven goals in thirty-two league appearances helped to secure their Premier League status.
