Happy New Year. And right out the gate, VICE TV is kicking the door open with shoulder pads, spit flying, and unfinished business.
Sports never really end, they just wait for the next grudge to rip back open.
That’s the energy powering Don’t Call It a Comeback, VICE’s new eight-episode series that digs into the rivalries nobody ever really moved on from. Jets vs. Dolphins. Bills vs. Oilers. AFC. NFC. NCAA. Old wounds, fresh blood, and egos that never learned how to age gracefully.
This isn’t about highlight reels or sanitized nostalgia. This is about the aftershocks. The locker room grudges. The moments when teams were counted out, laughed at, buried, and then clawed their way back with something to prove and someone to embarrass.

Hosting the whole thing is Noah Eagle, who brings that modern broadcaster polish without pretending these stories are polite or tidy. He’s the guide through the chaos. Not yelling, not glamorizing, just letting the history breathe and the tension simmer.
VICE knows exactly what it’s doing here. This isn’t just sports programming, it’s cultural archaeology. Rivalries tell you who we were, who we feared, and who we still secretly want to beat in the parking lot.
Don’t Call It a Comeback premieres January 6, and if you’ve ever watched a game feeling like it meant more than the score, this one’s already speaking your language.
Because some battles never end.
