The snow is coming, the temperatures are dropping, and Dan Fox and Frank Knight are hunkering down for the “Snowstorm Edition” of Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank, Season 7, Episode 20, the Mike Schmidt episode. With Alan “Action” Jackson back on the mic (and loudly declaring he's not going anywhere), the crew opens with storm talk, model debates (American vs. European), and the real plan for survival: groceries stocked, a fireplace going, and a playlist full of podcast episodes. They also react to the show's sudden listener surge, downloads are up, but the email inbox is still empty, which leads to the usual mix of confusion, sarcasm, and friendly harassment.From there, the show pivots into baseball hot stove season, because apparently winter weather requires Mets news. Frank breaks down the Mets' aggressive trade for Brewers pitcher Freddy Peralta, acknowledging the price tag was steep: top prospects Jet Williams and Brandon Sproat shipped out for what could be a one-year rental. The crew debates whether it's worth it unless the Mets make a deep postseason run, while also noting how Milwaukee continues to master the “sell high, restock, stay competitive” model. The Mets' retooling continues with the trade for White Sox outfielder Luis Robert, a plus defender with speed who adds pressure on the bases, even if the bat hasn't fully returned to peak form. The conversation also touches on position changes and risk: Bo Bichette shifting to third, Polanco possibly moving to first, and the broader question of whether the Mets are building a contender or just rearranging the chessboard. A rumor about clubhouse political tension causing a rift surfaces, and the crew agrees that if it's true, it's a disappointing reason to break up a roster.The Yankees get their moment as well, with Alan celebrating New York re-signing Cody Bellinger—calling it a must-have move, praising his glove and clutch value, and approving the Yankees drawing the line before the seven-year demand. From there, the episode shifts into the NFL coaching carousel: the Giants landing John Harbaugh is treated as the marquee hire, with Alan arguing the Giants did the only smart thing, don't let him leave the building, pay him, and give him control. Stefanski to Atlanta sparks debate, including a blunt reaction to media criticism and a larger discussion about how much of a coach's success depends on what the franchise actually gives him to work with. The crew then runs through other hires and head-scratchers: Jesse Minter in Baltimore (with skepticism about “coaching trees”), Jeff Hafley to Miami (with questions about whether the résumé holds up without elite personnel), and Robert Saleh to Tennessee (with cautious optimism if Cam Ward develops and the situation is less of a tire fire than the Jets).A particularly chaotic moment hits when the group tries to explain why the Bills would even interview Philip Rivers for a head coaching job—leading to a side argument about Rivers' religion and the “he has a lot of kids” stereotype, before resetting and admitting it still doesn't make much football sense. The episode wraps with a classic Fox Brothers Alarms transition: updated “palatial basement” studio renovations, the company's services, contact info, and a renewed plea for listeners to actually send emails, because 280 downloads and zero messages feels personal.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot react to the Seahawks' latest statement win and the stunning reality that a team widely projected to finish under .500 now sits two home wins away from the Super Bowl. They break down why this run feels different from past Seahawks contenders, examine the favorable NFC landscape, and agree there's only one opponent that truly scares them: the Rams. Ray Roberts explains why the Seahawks' ability to run between the tackles and control tempo was the true difference in their win over San Francisco, giving the offense "the remote control" of the game. He details how Mike Macdonald's defense shut down Brock Purdy by eliminating explosive plays, dominating tackles, and keeping constant pressure, while also addressing the benefits and risks of Seattle's first-round bye as they sit two home wins from the Super Bowl. Brady Henderson and Jackson Bevens join Mitch to break down Seattle's 13–3 dismantling of the 49ers, a game that felt like a blowout long before the final whistle. They credit Mike Macdonald's defense for completely erasing Brock Purdy and Kyle Shanahan's offense, while the Seahawks' run-heavy attack controlled tempo and time of possession. The conversation turns to expectations that now come with the No. 1 seed, health heading into the divisional round, and whether any NFC team — Rams included — can realistically challenge Seattle at Lumen Field. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to explain how the College Football Playoff quarterfinals exposed the new reality of college football, from Miami's physical formula to Indiana's suffocating defense and Oregon's offensive limitations. He unpacks the NIL and transfer-portal frenzy surrounding stars like Trinidad Chambliss, predicts massive seven-figure payouts for elite quarterbacks, and calls the current system "absolute craziness" headed for a reset.   GUESTS   Ray Roberts | Former Seahawks offensive lineman; Seahawks Radio Network analyst Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion, Head Coach Dallas Renegades (UFL)   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Seahawks surge into Super Bowl contention as surprise NFC powerhouse — but one matchup still looms large. 16:10 | Seahawks dominate 49ers with elite defense and punishing run game in statement win at Santa Clara. 39:24 | GUEST: Ray Roberts; Ray Roberts breaks down Seahawks' physical dominance, elite defense, and Super Bowl–ready mindset after silencing the 49ers. 1:12:10 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks clinch NFC's top seed as dominant defense, punishing run game, and composure separate contenders from pretenders. 1:40:24 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Neuheisel dives into CFP chaos, NIL madness, and why Indiana and Ole Miss are built to crash college football's old order. 2:05:00 | Other Stuff Segment: College Football Playoff Final Four, Indiana's dominance, Ole Miss upsetting Georgia, Miami upsetting Ohio State, Trinidad Chambliss eligibility and NIL bidding war, Lane Kiffin grocery basket incident, Washington transfer portal departures, DeMon Williams NIL deal and return to UW, Tiger Woods 50th birthday and Champions Tour eligibility, Rachel Uchitel wedding, USC–Notre Dame rivalry potentially ending, Lenny Dykstra arrest controversy, Tom Bodett and Motel 6 lawsuit settlement, Philip Rivers comeback reflection RIPs: Isaiah Whitlock (Actor — The Wire, Da 5 Bloods), Brigitte Bardot (French actress, global sex symbol), Melanie Watson Bernhardt (Actress — Diff'rent Strokes) Headlines Segment: German man sets Guinness record with over 11,000 snow globes, Scientists discover strange lemon-shaped planet that could "sour" your mood, Dating site grows for men with the world's smallest penis, Government releases list of the 25 worst items removed from people's bodies in 2025
