Drake Maye and Christian Gonzalez were mic'd up during the AFC Championship game in Denver and from the encouragement from Vrabel and McDaniels to the silence of Gonzo, New England made themselves more likeable.

Then, Mike Dussault from Patrits.com joins the show to talk all things Pats including the aggressive identity traveling with them to Santa Clara in the Super Bowl. And, relive some of the best moments from the AFC Championship through the Pats' mic'd up videos.

Then, Ruy Teixeira (The Liberal Patriot) and Jesse Adams (The Ivy Exile) join for Not Even Mad. The panel debates whether the chaos in Minnesota is a strategic "theater" of enforcement or a policy failure that's alienating the very public that requested it.

Jami Lynn comes joins Lorenzo to talk all about her trip to the AFC Championship game!

0:00 - The Broncos fired their offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi...okay? What was he even doing? I thought the offense was Sean Payton's baby. Also, Sean has worked with Joe for like 15 straight seasons. Why fire him now after the Broncos reached the AFC Championship game? Strange situation all around.17:08 - For the past couple years, Von Miller has said he wants to return to Denver and play in this iron-clad Broncos defense. Should they welcome him back? Would the Vonster be a good addition?34:09 - Greg Penner addressed the media yesterday, and multiple times, he said he doesn't involve himself in the finer points of roster decisions. He leaves that to his Coach and GM, and mostly acts as a moderator during tough discussions. Compare that to guys like Jerry Jones and Terry Pagula who can't keep their ancient mouths shut. We're so lucky to have such elite ownership here in Denver.Also, Tyrann Mathieu went to extreme lengths to cleanse himself before taking a drug test in college, and he almost poisoned himself.

This episode takes a big picture look at the NFL by asking one of the hardest questions in sports: what actually makes a franchise good? Using data from the last 30 years, the group breaks down playoff appearances, Super Bowl wins, and draft positioning to evaluate which organizations are consistently successful and which ones fall short. Rather than turning it into a trivia contest, the discussion stays conversational as the guys debate whether teams should be ranked or simply labeled as good or bad organizations.The conversation then shifts to a full Super Bowl preview between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, with Jay taking a victory lap for predicting the matchup before the playoffs even started. The group analyzes how the Patriots reached the Super Bowl as underdogs, the impact of Bo Nix's injury in the AFC Championship, and whether Drake May's clutch play can overcome a dominant Seahawks defense.Injuries and strategy play a major role throughout the episode. The crew critiques late game coaching decisions, including a costly fourth down call, and dives into the details of Bo Nix's broken ankle, discussing how injury predispositions and lower body stability can affect quarterbacks long term.The Broncos season review highlights how far the team exceeded expectations with a second year quarterback while still lacking elite offensive weapons. The Patriots season is also evaluated with skepticism around whether their offense can consistently perform against top defenses.The Seahawks get a deep dive as well, with discussion around Geno Smith's rise, key roster additions, and John Schneider's long standing success as a general manager. The group debates early dynasty talk and pushes back on the idea that one Super Bowl appearance automatically signals long term dominance.The episode closes with a broader NFL franchise success analysis, identifying the Patriots, Chiefs, and Ravens as the best run organizations over the past three decades, while discussing why teams like the Cowboys struggle in the postseason despite regular season success. Coaching changes, including Mike McCarthy's move to the Steelers, and Hall of Fame voting controversy surrounding Bill Belichick round out the conversation.If you enjoy NFL history, franchise rankings, Super Bowl previews, team building philosophy, and long term organizational analysis, this episode delivers a thoughtful and data driven look at what separates winners from everyone else.

0:00 - The Nuggets had a chance to win, but fell short of beating the Pistons last night at Ball Arena. It is what is it. Chalk it up to the travel debacle where they couldn't get out of Memphis. They sat on the tarmac for ages, and made it back to Denver less than 24 hours until tip. It is what it is. But, one positive takeaway: Jamal Murray was very open and honest in his postgame presser. He actually took responsibility for his mistakes instead of being flippant and dismissive with the media. 15:02 - The Law Firm of Payton and Paton addressed the media to wrap up the season. Even though they reached the AFC Championship, this team needs to make some adjustments in the offseason. Both Payton and Paton understand that.34:05 - Right now, the Broncos have Bo Nix dirt cheap on his rookie contract. They HAVE to capitalize on this window. How will Sean and George maximize their opportunities before they have to pay Bo?

Hour 1 Denver Broncos lose to Patriots in AFC Championship Boring Super Bowl matchup What You May Have Missed Hour 2 BYU basketball color analyst Mark Durrant Good, Bad & Ugly Whole World News Hour 3 NFL playoffs Sports Roulette Final thoughts

Let all of New England celebrate while the rest of the nation is disgusted: the Patriots are back in the Super Bowl! What were the key moments from yesterday's AFC Championship win in Denver and how stout was that Pats' defense? Then, one key moment was Sean Payton deciding to go for it on 4th down instead of kicking a field goal which can all be blamed on Payton's ego. And, saluting the heroes from yesterday's win and wondering why Mike Vrabel talked about the change in Christian Gonzalez.

The final hour starts with Christian debunking what a doctor has said about being certain that Drake Maye sustained a shoulder injury in the Patriots' AFC Championship win. Why should no one take this "report" with a grain of salt? Then, Arcand Fire features a old NFL poster that might have revealed the Super Bowl matchup and reliving the best from Derrick Rose in a Bulls' uniform following his jersey retirement over the weekend.

Recorded: January 26th 2026 | On this weeks Monday NFL Recap, Taylor is hitting this one by himself with help from the boys in the back. The boys recap the NFC and AFC Championship games from this past weekend. The first game was the New England Patriots traveling out to the Denver Broncos. The biggest question going into this game was how backup quarterback, Jarrett Stidham, was going to play. He ended up not playing that bad but the weather became more of an issue. The snow had a massive factor in that game which may have been why Drake Maye only threw for 86 yards. Taylor breaks down the game and how Mike Vrabel's coaching was an x-factor. Then the boys get into the NFC Championship where the Los Angeles Rams traveled up to the Seattle Seahawks for a rubber match between the division foes. This game was high flying with points being scored everywhere. Taylor believes that Sam Darnold has officially put the haters to rest as he threw for over 300 yards and 3 TDs. Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a massive game is basically unstoppable. Finally the boys give their Super Bowl predictions, the bus is divided on who they are riding with.

Stoney (in for Valenti) and Rico share their thoughts on Patriots-Broncos and Rams-Seahawks.

Stoney and Rico do a "Can We Say That?" centered around championship weekend and other major NFL storylines.

Evan, Tiki, and Shaun unpack a jam-packed Championship Monday that spirals from weather chaos to franchise regret. The show opens with the AFC Championship turning into a snow-covered throwback and whether that kind of football should decide a title. From there, the guys debate Sean Payton's 4th down decision, Sam Darnold reaching the Super Bowl, and which franchises should feel the most pain. The Steelers shock the league by breaking decades of tradition with a Mike McCarthy hire, igniting Aaron Rodgers speculation and questions about the future of coaching stability. Along the way, the Pro Bowl loses all remaining credibility, MLB drops a bizarre video game announcement, and Jets fans descend into full existential dread while the Patriots once again seem to benefit from the football gods.

Evan opens up about a very real debate at home over doing the show from the house, then the conversation takes a hard left into a viral graphic that has people claiming the NFL “told us” back in September it would be Drake Maye vs Sam Darnold. The guys laugh through the conspiracy, point out the other names hidden in the image, and then get right back into the AFC Championship aftermath as callers rip Sean Payton's decision-making and the play call that helped sink Denver. The segment also hits the weather angle, how the Patriots approached the second half, and whether the “cover up” sounded worse than the original decision. Plus, Spence pops in with a prediction, more calls roll in, and the hour tees up Jets and Giants coordinator news and a strange Mets producer story.

The AFC Championship turned into a full-on weather event, and Evan and Tiki debate whether that chaos made the game unforgettable or completely unwatchable. They break down how the Patriots benefitted once they had the lead, why the second half felt like 1960s football, and whether weather should ever decide a championship. Plus, the poll that perfectly split the audience, the contrast with a beautifully played NFC title game, and the bigger question looming over the NFL. Did the snow make this game legendary, or did it ruin real football?

The moment that flipped the game. Sean Payton's 4th down decision near the goal line looms large as the Broncos never score again. Evan, Tiki, and Sean react to Payton's explanation, dissect the play call, and debate whether aggression made sense with a backup quarterback and points at a premium. Listener calls weigh in on old-school football, weather chaos, and whether that 4th down choice still looks defensible once the snow took over.
