About the host
Hosted by Matthew Bassuener
A former professional quarterback turned designer of immersive football stays, the founder of Pigskin Journeyman Vacation Rentals has lived and breathed the game across continents. After playing in the AFL, suiting up in Europe and South America, and winning a gold medal with Team USA at the IFAF World Championship, his journey continued into football media—doubling as JD McCoy on Friday Night Lights, throwing the final pass in the series finale, and later portraying Brett Favre in American Underdog.
With nearly 20 relocations behind him, his next chapter was rooted in intention: to create a portfolio of football-themed vacation homes in the sport’s most iconic towns. From Green Bay to South Bend, each Pigskin Journeyman property is crafted by someone who has lived the game—and built for fans, families, and fellow football lifers seeking an experience that’s anything but ordinary.
