Top Stories for December 27th Publish Date: December 27th PRE-ROLL: Sugar Hill Ice Skating From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, December 27th and Happy Birthday to Mick Jones I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Rising costs for insurance, with reports of refusals to pay claims, could spur legislation Georgia DOT suspends lane closures for the holidays Grayson man gets 80-year prison sentence for robbery-turned-murder All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia Mall of Georgia STORY 1: Rising costs for insurance, with reports of refusals to pay claims, could spur legislation Insurance costs are climbing, and people are fed up. Policyholders say they’re paying more for less—claims denied, delays dragging on for months. Meanwhile, insurers aren’t exactly thrilled with Georgia either. The state ranked dead last in profitability for insurance companies last year. “Less competition means higher prices,” said Robert Hoyt from UGA’s Terry College of Business. At a final hearing in Gwinnett, lawmakers heard it all: auto repair shops battling insurers, marathoners denied prosthetics, and frustrated customers paying out of pocket. Rep. Matt Reeves says change is coming. “We’ll be looking at prices, profits, and penalties. It’s overdue.” STORY 2: Georgia DOT suspends lane closures for the holidays With the holidays here, there’s a little gift from GDOT: no lane closures on major roads, interstates, or near shopping spots. From Dec. 23 at 6 a.m. to Dec. 28 at 10 p.m., and again Dec. 31 at 5 a.m. to Jan. 2 at 5 a.m., you’ll get a smoother ride. But don’t zone out—crews might still be working, and emergencies? Yeah, those closures can still happen. Stay sharp, watch for signs, and be extra careful near work zones. Need updates? Check the 511GA app or GDOT’s website. Safe travels, and happy holidays! STORY 3: Grayson man gets 80-year prison sentence for robbery-turned-murder A 20-year-old from Grayson, known on the streets as “Draino,” will spend the rest of his life—and then some—behind bars. Adrian Synclare Johnson was convicted last Friday on nearly two dozen charges, including murder and racketeering, for his role in the February killing of 24-year-old Gerryon Ceasor during a botched drug robbery. The sentence? Two life terms (one without parole) plus 20 years. “Gang violence won’t be tolerated,” said DA Patsy Austin-Gatson. Prosecutors say Johnson and six others planned to rob Ceasor of his Draco pistol. Shots were fired. Ceasor didn’t survive. The others await trial.

We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets STORY 4: Polar Vortex Is Strengthening: What It Means For GA Winter Temps Georgia’s Christmas forecast? It was warm. And, according to The Weather Channel, this unseasonably toasty trend is sticking around through March. Why? A strong polar vortex. Sounds intense, right? But here’s the twist: the stronger it is, the less it messes with us. Instead of icy blasts, we’re looking at above-average temps across the South, especially in February. Meanwhile, the North gets the cold and wet. La Niña vibes, basically—warm down here, chilly up there. So, enjoy the sunshine, Georgia. Winter’s taking it easy. STORY 5: Georgia swears in its youngest state representative At just 21, Ali’s already making waves. Youngest lawmaker in Georgia’s history? Check. Youngest Democratic state rep in the country? Also check. But he’s quick to brush off the titles. “First and foremost, I’m a brother, a son, and your neighbor,” he says. Ali’s story mirrors his district’s—immigrant parents, humble beginnings, and a relentless climb. “We went from eating white rice every night to owning a home,” he recalls. That shaped him. His journey into politics started young, sparked by threats to his community’s mosque. Now, he’s building bridges, lowering costs, and proving age doesn’t define leadership. We’ll be right back. Break 3: DTL HOLIDAY INTERVIEW - Lorraine Green STORY 6: Metro Atlanta man accused of cheating people out of almost $1 million by selling bogus UGA tickets A 43-year-old Alpharetta man, Matthew Neet, is accused of pulling off a nearly $1 million scam that targeted college football fans and investors. Fake tickets, bogus investments—he allegedly promised it all, but delivered nothing. Prosecutors say Neet offered hard-to-get UGA football tickets (think Alabama, Texas matchups) and pitched timberland projects in Costa Rica. The catch? None of it was real. Instead, he pocketed $943,000 from over two dozen victims. Neet’s been charged with wire fraud and waived indictment. The FBI’s still digging, and prosecutors are ready to take him on. STORY 7: ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ cast member Kandi Burruss stars in ‘& Juliet’ on Broadway Kandi Burruss is taking her talents to Broadway. Yep, the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star and Grammy-winning artist joined the cast of & Juliet on Dec. 11 at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre in New York. She’s stepping into the role for a limited run through March 8, 2026, following TikTok sensation Cheryl Porter. The show? A playful twist on Romeo & Juliet—what if Juliet didn’t, you know, end it all over Romeo? Burruss, a 14-season RHOA veteran, adds this to her packed résumé: singer, songwriter, producer, restaurateur, and now Broadway star. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: GCPS Hiring Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1298 Premium Content Unlocked: The Forgotten Files of Project Blue Book - The Chiles-Whitted UFO Incident For years, The Forgotten Files of Project Blue Book has been a premium series—reserved for listeners willing to go deeper, past the headlines and into the original case files, declassified memos, and unresolved contradictions the government would rather you forget. But tonight, Richard Syrett is unlocking one of those premium episodes for everyone. In this special open-access edition of Strange Planet, Richard revisits one of the most pivotal UFO encounters in history. In July 1948, Eastern Airlines pilots Clarence Chiles and John Whitted were flying a DC-3 over Montgomery, Alabama, when a massive, glowing, cigar-shaped craft streaked past their cockpit with blazing exhaust before vanishing into the night sky. The incident stunned the U.S. Air Force and helped spark what would become Project Blue Book. Official explanations quickly followed—but the records don't line up. Declassified files, burned reports, and conflicting testimony suggest something far more troubling. Was it a meteor, a secret military prototype—or evidence of a non-human presence? Join Richard Syrett as he opens a normally locked file and examines the Chiles-Whitted encounter—one mystery too important to keep behind a paywall. SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back to discuss the Oregon Ducks taking care of business against James Madison, advancing in the College Football Playoffs and putting three Big Ten programs into the quarterfinals. Dan Lanning and company jumped all over the Dukes early, but allowed 28 points in the second half including 14 in the final quarter that gave JMU the backdoor cover (much to the chagrin of our hosts). The guys look ahead to the rest of the Big Ten bowl games, previewing each of them and giving their picks against the spread. Northwestern, Minnesota, Penn State, Illinois, USC, Iowa, Michigan & Nebraska are all in action before the calendar turns to 2026. On New Year's Eve No. 2 Ohio State takes on No. 10 Miami in the Cotton Bowl and then on New Year's Day No. 5 Oregon faces No. 4 Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl and No. 1 Indiana faces No. 9 Alabama in the Rose Bowl. As always, they wrap up the podcast by answering listener email and live chat questions. For the video simulcasts of our POC please subscribe to your YouTube channel!

Investigative editor Ashley Remkus will join us to talk about "Stories That Made a Difference in 2025." Here are some links to the stories Ashley highlights: DOGE cuts directly affected Alabama institutions. Hugh Freeze's frequent golfing rounds became big news. Columnist Roy S. Johnson shared his prostate-cancer experience, and people are getting tested. Help arrived for students who didn't have beds to sleep in. A citizen who'd been critical of a small city was arrested ... but then released. In a still-developing story, there have been accusations of parking-ticket entrapment. The parole rate plummeted ... and then the board chair was ousted. Some glaring evidence led a judge to call for a new trial for a Death Row inmate (although the Attorney General's Office is still fighting it). A death sentence was commuted. In Alabama. Seriously. The State Legislature acted quickly after a breastfeeding-jurors story. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith talk CFB playoff games and best bets. Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith broke down the College Football Playoff quarterfinal slate with a focus on matchup specific edges, betting markets, and how recent form intersects with schematic realities. Coming off a 4 0 run on their last two podcast episodes, the discussion centered on four games and how defense, trench play, and quarterback trust shape both sides and totals. The opening focus was Miami versus Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl, a matchup both viewed as driven by elite defenses and pace control. Ohio State entered as a nine point favorite, but Smith emphasized Miami's ability to dominate the line of scrimmage, pointing to pressure rates, sack production, and third down efficiency. While expecting Ohio State to win outright, he leaned toward Miami covering and consistently highlighted unders across quarters and the full game, citing run game inefficiency on both sides and a likely field position battle. Warner echoed the correlation between strong defensive underdogs and unders, particularly on a neutral field. The conversation then shifted to Oregon versus Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl, described as the most difficult game to handicap. Smith leaned slightly toward Oregon based on quarterback trust and offensive balance but stressed concerns about receiver health and Texas Tech's defensive success rate and field position metrics. The consensus framed the game as close to a toss up, with Oregon needing a clean performance and Texas Tech facing pressure to protect its quarterback and avoid one dimensional offense. Alabama versus Indiana in the Rose Bowl generated the strongest stance, with Smith calling for a potential Indiana blowout. He cited Alabama's struggles running the ball, poor field position numbers, and vulnerability to pressure against an Indiana defense built to attack the pass. Indiana's ability to protect its quarterback and force Alabama into predictable situations was presented as the defining edge, with Indiana projected to control the game and win by double digits. The final matchup featured Georgia against Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl, a rematch that Smith viewed as lopsided in Georgia's favor. Drawing heavily on the first meeting and Georgia's second half adjustments, he pointed to Ole Miss's inability to stop the run and Georgia's depth and preparation advantage. With Georgia rested, schematically familiar, and trending defensively, Smith projected a decisive win and made Georgia minus six and a half his best bet. Warner agreed on Georgia and added his own best bet on the Miami Ohio State under, reinforcing the theme that defense and game script would dictate the quarterfinals.

It's a victory celebration on Bama and Bourbon! Lance Taylor from The Next Round and Aaron Suttles from Yea Alabama pour up Uncle Nearest Single Barrel and break down Alabama's thrilling comeback win at Oklahoma, where the Crimson Tide erased a 17–0 deficit to knock off the Sooners and advance in the College Football Playoff. The guys dive into what sparked the turnaround, how Alabama's defense clamped down, the resilience of the Tide offense under pressure, and what this statement win says about Kalen DeBoer's team on the national stage. They also begin to look ahead to the next challenge — a massive Rose Bowl matchup against #1 Indiana — discussing early keys, matchups to watch, and what Alabama must do to keep its championship hopes alive. All of the playoff talk is paired with a premium pour of Uncle Nearest Single Barrel, as Lance and Aaron share tasting notes, flavor profiles, and why this bold bourbon is the perfect companion for a playoff comeback celebration.
Fox Sports' Joel Klatt joins The Next Round to break down a wild weekend in the College Football Playoff and tackle the biggest storylines shaping the sport. We start with Alabama's comeback win over Oklahoma, including a deep dive into Ty Simpson's leadership and Zabien Brown's game-changing pick-six that swung momentum against the Sooners. Joel also reacts to Miami shutting down Texas A&M's offense and asks the big question: Do the Hurricanes have something lined up for powerhouse Ohio State in the next round? From there, the conversation turns national as Klatt shares his ideas on how to fix the College Football Playoff, the issue of first-round blowouts, and whether the current format is delivering the best version of postseason college football. Plus, Joel addresses his now-viral comment from last week's show where he called the NCAA Basketball Tournament “a joke,” explaining what he meant and why the remark struck such a nerve. If you're a fan of college football analysis, CFP reaction, Alabama football, Miami vs Ohio State storylines, and Joel Klatt's unfiltered takes, this episode is a must-watch.
The Alabama Crimson Tide delivered a historic comeback in the 2025 College Football Playoff, storming back from a 17-point deficit to defeat the Oklahoma Sooners — and we break down everything that came out of one of the biggest wins of the CFP era. In this video, we dive into the key moments, standout performances, and major storylines surrounding Alabama's comeback victory and what comes next. Topics discussed include: • Breaking down Alabama's 17-point comeback win over Oklahoma in the CFP • Lotzeir Brooks' breakout performance, scoring two crucial touchdowns when Alabama needed it most • Why Ryan Williams must step up and live up to the massive expectations and hype • The growing Michigan rumors around Kalen DeBoer following the firing of Sherrone Moore • What DeBoer's future could mean for Alabama moving forward • A full preview of Alabama vs Indiana in the next round of the CFP • How Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza and Head Coach Curt Cignetti challenge Alabama From playoff resilience to coaching carousel rumors, this win may define Alabama's postseason — and its future.
In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz break down the Michigan head-coaching search so far, including the key storylines, candidates and factors to watch just under two weeks in. They open with a look at the search so far, and what it says about the Wolverines. They discuss Michigan going all-in on Kalen DeBoer before Alabama's College Football Playoff win, why it made sense, and the Wolverines' top candidates after DeBoer's playoff run with the Crimson Tide got extended. They discuss Jeff Brohm, Adam Stenavich, Kyle Whittingham and others, as well as the level of appeal of the Michigan job, and why timing isn't on their side. In the second half of the episode, they break down less heralded candidates, including Biff Poggi, Glenn Schumann, Jay Harbaugh, Tony Annese and others. They also look at the timeline of the hire, what the next week might look like, the roster retention side of things and more.

Hosts Brad Fowler and Alex Higdon break down the biggest NFL and College Football Week reactions, playoff implications, and CFP first-round results as the postseason picture comes into focus. We start with the Chicago Bears’ stunning comeback win over the Green Bay Packers, what it says about Chicago’s resilience, and why the Packers are suddenly fighting for their playoff lives with injuries piling up and uncertainty around Jordan Love.

Ole Miss and Oregon handle business as expected in lopsided CFP matchups.
In “Southern caviar is wild, nutty, and...sustainable?” Gravy producer Irina Zhorov takes us to the Tombigbee River, where valuable paddlefish swim, and makes a case for caviar as an ingredient with a Southern pedigree. Every mature female fish makes roe—that's the term for their clusters of unfertilized eggs. But caviar, for purists, comes from an ancient fish called sturgeon. There are more than two dozen species of sturgeon, but the best-known caviars come from a handful of species native to Russia and Central Asia: Beluga, Sevruga, Kaluga and Osetra. These fish are diadromous, which means they can live in both rivers and seas. And historically they were caught in the wild, their roe processed into caviar, and eventually sent around the world. Though fish roe started out as poor people's food in Russia, it evolved to be synonymous with luxury, royalty. However, sturgeon were so overfished that it is now illegal in most places to import their wild-harvested caviar. In the U.S., too, several species of sturgeon were once dense along the eastern coast, in the Great Lakes, in California, and elsewhere. Indigenous tribes and white settlers alike consumed Atlantic sturgeon before a caviar rush in the 1800s diminished their numbers. It's illegal to fish for most domestic sturgeon. Today, more than 99 percent of caviar globally comes from farms, mostly in China. There are a few exceptions to this rule in the U.S. Small shovelnose sturgeon can still be harvested in some areas for caviar. And paddlefish—which is not a sturgeon, but its close cousin—is fair game in some states, too. The fish live in the Mississippi River and its tributaries. While the U.S. has an available supply of wild-caught, high-quality caviar, it lacks a clear cultural context for how to enjoy this decadent treat. In this episode, Zhorov speaks to Mike Kelley of Kelley's Katch, a Tennessee caviar producer, and biologist Steve Rider, who studies paddlefish populations in Alabama, to learn about a food that's from the South but, paradoxically, not at all associated with Southern cuisine. Some people and companies are trying to educate American consumers about caviar and to modernize the way domestic consumers eat the food. That can include parties with caviar tutorials and introducing new, American ways to indulge, like with a dollop of caviar on Doritos. Christine Lemieux, one-half of the company Caviar Dream, explains how this delicacy can be for everyone. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

So many towns across America created for and by Black Americans have vanished but a few keep going. How did Hobson City, Alabama—a small, rural town—survive 125 years and become a notable stop in the Chitlin' Circuit? This episode explores one town's fight for independence from Jim Crow to today.
The College Football Playoffs have officially arrived… and let's just say they half-delivered entertainment and half-delivered disappointment — which was right on point. After the first round, Josh officially plants his flag and declares that Group of 5 teams simply do NOT belong in the CFP (sorry, little guys). Miami vs. Texas A&M was an absolute rock fight that only sickos could love — although, if you were rooting for both teams to lose, that scoreless first half was chef's kiss. Alabama vs. Oklahoma, however, kicked things off the right way and reminded everyone what playoff football is supposed to look like.With the warm-up round in the books, the boys dive headfirst into the next slate of College Football Playoff games, breaking down matchups, giving head-to-head picks, and sprinkling in a certified JMO Special. Buckle up — the real games are here, and now that the Group of 5 bedtime stories are over, things are about to get serious.Then comes the part you probably didn't see coming…Objectively speaking (which means you can't quote us on this), the New Orleans Saints are the best team in the NFC South — and honestly, one of the hottest teams in the NFC right now. Yes, we said it. THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS. Tyler Shough has the boys officially SHOOK (pun very much intended), and suddenly the Saints are back on the high horse, staring down the Super Bowl path once again. Are they one step away? Maybe one big step. But optimism is officially back in the building.The NFL slate delivered absolute madness this week — mind blowing multi two-point conversion game, a successful onside kick comeback, and even some punches thrown (no, not Jake Paul; DK Metcalf, we're looking directly at you). Between the playoff implications, wild finishes, and bold takes, this episode has everything.0:00 intro/cfb playoff recap23:00 cfb playoff picks35:55 NFL Recap1:10:55 NFL Picks
Recorded: December 22nd 2025 | Will Compton and Taylor Lewan are back on the bus with a special guest this week — College Football Playoff quarterback Ty Simpson of the Alabama Crimson Tide. Before Ty hops on, the boys kick things off by breaking down Taylor Lewan’s trip to Norman, Oklahoma and College Station, including a little sideline-pass drama that had things getting spicy. Will Compton also recaps his family Christmas trip to New York City — which somehow went fantastic. Then Ty Simpson joins the show and this one takes off. Ty dives into his journey to Alabama, what it was like being recruited by Nick Saban, and the chaos of winning in Norman against the Sooners — complete with 50 Cent, wild fanfare, and an unforgettable atmosphere. He breaks down the Crimson Tide’s epic comeback, his mindset in the middle of the madness, and what it takes to stay ready when your moment comes. Ty’s been a Tier 1 Bussin’ With The Boys supporter for a long time, and the boys reflect on first meeting him back when he was a third-string quarterback — leading to plenty of laughs, stories, and locker-room energy. Plus, Jack McPherson sneaks in a breakdown of a hockey game featuring Matt “Ferda” Malone because… of course he does. Football stories, playoff pressure, Alabama culture, and classic bus chaos — this one’s got it all.Big Hugs, Tiny Kisses TIMESTAMP CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro2:58 Will In NYC7:38 The Boys CFP Trip41:26 TY SIMPSON INTERVIEW STARTS41:50 Ty Almost Took Taylor Out43:13 Alabama’s Chip On Their Shoulder46:29 Mindset Being Down 17-050:04 The Oklahoma Atmosphere53:32 How Important Was The Two Week Break54:31 Leadership Of Coach DeBoer 56:49 Why He Decided To Stay At Alabama 1:01:32 How Tempting Was The Portal? 1:03:52 Will And Ty Have Met Before 1:07:16 Bud Light Question1:08:56 Ty Is The Man1:12:01 Alabama Coming Back1:15:08 Will Held Himself Back On Twitter1:17:19 Michigan Still Has No Coach1:24:04 Matt Malone Is A Beer League Hockey StudSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this festive episode of 'Big Shot Bob' featuring Robert Horry and the crew, the conversation kicks off with some light-hearted banter and nostalgia. Robert reminisces about watching classic Eddie Murphy SNL skits and his transformative career, noting a shift towards family-friendly movies. The hosts then dive into a passionate discussion about the legitimacy of Christmas and 'Die Hard' as Christmas movies, followed by an analysis of the NBA's Christmas Day matchups, expressing excitement over key games while humorously critiquing some teams' performances. As the episode progresses, attention shifts to a deep dive into Luca Dončić's style of play, discussing accusations of him foul-hunting and citing criticisms from other players like Jalen Brown.

Jay Greeson and Chris Lee preview the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl between Texas and Michigan, and make predictions on the outcome and the over-under. Topics include: Michigan coach Sherrone Moore was fired after the Ohio State loss for a personal scandal. Interim coach Biff Poggi, who has an interesting life story, will take over. Is this a net positive or net negative for Michigan? Texas had bigger aspirations than the Cheeze-It Bowl as the Longhorns were the preseason No. 1 team. However, Texas played well down the stretch, winning six of seven games, and that included wins over Vanderbilt and Texas A&M. Michigan will be without its two best pass rushers in Derrick Moore and Jaishawn Barnham, as well as fifth-year starting offensive lineman Giovanni El-Hadi, Texas is without three All-American-level defenders in safety Michael Taafe, linebacker Anthony Hill and cornerback Malik Muhammad, in addition to key defensive linemen Trey Moore and Ethan Burke. On offense, the Longhorns will be without running back CJ Baxter and Jerrick Gibson as well as receiver DeAndre Moore. With all those defensive stars out, does this favor a more offensive-oriented game? Michigan got it done on the ground with a pair of terrific running backs Justice Haynes (formerly of Alabama) and Jordan Marshall. Michigan's Bryce Underwood was one of the more highly-sought freshmen out of high school. Underwood's passing numbers (nine touchdowns, six picks) were ordinary, but Underwood can run and could benefit from so much of the Longhorns' defense being out. Texas's Arch Manning got better as the season progressed and should be highly motivated for this one.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT gives his thoughts on why the Alabama Crimson Tide are being wildly underestimated heading into the second round of the College Football Playoff. JT explains how the Alabama Crimson Tide matchup with Indiana is being distorted by recency bias, why Alabama's talent edge and playoff experience matter, and how the Alabama Crimson Tide don't need perfection to win. JT also breaks down why Miami is a nightmare matchup for Ohio State, why Georgia is poised to overwhelm Ole Miss in the rematch, and why Oregon vs Texas Tech could reshape the future of the NIL era. This episode challenges national narratives, questions conference supremacy, and explains why playoff football is about who you are now — not what you were in October.

RUNDOWN Did you see Anthony Joshua knocking out Jake Paul in a Netflix spectacle that somehow guaranteed both fighters $92 million? While relieved to see Paul finally get hit for real, Mitch is stunned that global interest was strong enough to justify such an enormous payout for an eight-round exhibition. The segment becomes a blunt look at influencer economics, Netflix's business model, and why modern fame—not boxing legitimacy—now drives sports entertainment. Hotshot relives an on-air argument about whether Andy Gibb was a Bee Gee, while Mitch tells the story of getting yanked off a Syracuse DJ shift for interrupting a song to announce Andy Gibb's death. They pivot to Thursday night's Seahawks win over the Rams—Hotshot admits the overturned two-point conversion still feels "cheap," and Mitch argues the lack of urgency proves Seattle believed the play was designed as a forward pass until it wasn't. The segment ends with Mr. Playoffs logic: even if Seattle grabs the NFC's top seed, the Rams likely become the dangerous 5-seed and could boomerang right back into Seattle's divisional-round path. Ray Roberts joins Mitch for an intense Upon Further Review debate, rejecting the idea that the Rams are clearly better and arguing the two teams are neck-and-neck, winning in different ways. He points to Seattle's resilience, defensive toughness, and locker-room connectedness as unmeasurable traits that data and "eye tests" often miss, especially when a team keeps finding ways to win close games. The conversation drills into the overtime drive, the two-point conversion, Sam Darnold's growth, and whether the real breakthrough may be Clint Kubiak learning how best to deploy his quarterback under pressure. Henderson and Bevens dissect the Seahawks' improbable comeback over the Rams, with both pointing to belief, crowd energy, and elite special teams as the real difference-makers in a game Seattle otherwise struggled to control. The conversation zeroes in on Sam Darnold's fourth-quarter and overtime composure—ugly early, elite late—and whether that drive permanently shifts his ceiling against top competition. They also credit Sean McVay's adjustments for the Rams' offensive surge while arguing Seattle's defense and special teams ultimately tilted the outcome. Neuheisel reacts to the opening round of the College Football Playoff, arguing the Group of Five's lack of competitiveness will force structural change, possibly toward a separate championship or play-in model.
