This show is packed, covering the Jets' 15-year playoff shame and the Chiefs' stunning loss—a game Boomer called one of Mahomes' worst—while the Giants somehow grabbed the #1 draft pick. Get the full breakdown of Daniel Jones' latest injury, the controversial non-TD calls and the horrific Raiders field goal that sparked Dave Portnoy's fury and a 10,000-to-1 caller win. Plus, we debate whether Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza can handle New York, dive into NFL smut with the Braxton Berrios/Alix Earle breakup, mark the boring one-year anniversary of the Soto signing, and give you the viral "thick guy with a tiny choad" Moment of the Day that you have to hear!

The Jets suffered a quick, demoralizing 21-0 loss as the resting Giants lucked into the #1 draft pick, while the Chiefs plummeted below .500 after a Texans loss, and Joe Burrow's late picks cost the Bengals. We've got Aaron Glenn's reaction to the Jets' demise, coverage of Daniel Jones' latest injury, and the unbelievable Raiders field goal that caused a furious Dave Portnoy and crushed bettors, including the story of a caller who hit a 10,000-to-1 longshot for just $2.50!

Gio suspects a tequila-fueled Boomer was active on Twitter after a weekend where the Jets sealed their 15-year playoff shame and the Chiefs looked terrible in a loss Boomer called Mahomes' worst game. They debate if Boomer's new favorite, Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza, can handle New York—especially with his religious post-game talk—before Jerry checks in after trying to score a pic with Jerry Jones. Finally, Gio delivers the NFL smut on Braxton Berrios' breakup (blamed on sexy DWTS dancing!) and the rumors connecting Jaxson Dart to a ring girl after an unlikely bad beat ruined bettors' Sunday.

We start with the hilarious viral photo of Pete Hoffman's Christmas sweatpants that sparked the unforgettable "thick guy with a tiny choad" joke. Lamar Jackson's fiery response to being called "overrated," the Jets extending their playoff drought to 15 years, the Chiefs' loss fueled by a disastrous Andy Reid 4th-down call, and the Bills' comeback win over the Bengals thanks to two key Joe Burrow interceptions.

Evan says there should be big concerns in the Bronx, while Sal can't believe the mighty Yankees wouldn't be in on the likes of an Edwin Diaz or thought to be willing to spend big on Kyle Tucker.
