Not much going on in the sports world so we jump to recapping the weekend of football.

Better luck next year. We discuss some NFC teams and how they’ll look next year, which should be a fun season. The Bills defense stepped up in the biggest way possible, holding Lamar and the Ravens to 3 points! Mark is getting 2017 Eagles vibes and Brandon is just happy that they made it this far. The Browns had the game won vs a Mahomesless Chiefs for a quarter but they choked and it was honestly embarrassing to see them drop a given win. Chad Henne. That’s it. Brady vs Brees: The Finale was a dud and it was sad to see Brees go out like that. Bucs are in the NFC Chip and we have Brady v Rodgers and Allen v Mahomes. A fitting reward to football fans around the league. We close the show talking about the Sixers and Brandon is buying back in.

It's the Season 1 Finale of Gurus and we have a good one for the people. Can Playoff Aaron cover his speed or will that top tier Rams defense shut hm down? Does Buffalo have an answer for Lamar and that rush in Baltimore or will Lamar be streaking all night in front of the Mafia? Will the Browns do the unthinkable vs the defending champs in Kanas City or will Pat Mahomes and that cannon move on? Finally who win the battle of the old men?

Will Jared Goff and his one hand be able to take down Playoff Rodgers in Lambeau? Can Buffalo find a way to contain Lamar Jackson and the run in Baltimore? Can the Browns remain hot or will they fizz out? Which old man will win in New Orleans? Lots to talk about! We close the show with Rankings of the remaining playoff teams and QBs. Enjoy!

It was Christmas 2.0 this past weekend as we had playoff football 2 days in a row nonstop. We start with the fastest 2 minutes of SUPER Wild Card Weekend. A full recap and reactions to the slate.
