We talked about the upcoming Super Bowl and what we expect from these teams offensively. Gio was looking at all of the prop bets, including first TD scorer odds.

We wondered what playoff teams could still win if their quarterback goes down. The two best running teams are the Ravens and Eagles. Is that Boomer's Super Bowl prediction? Boomer and Phil Simms were gushing about the Ravens at last night's event. A caller wants the Giants to trade for Patriots backup Joe Milton. C-Lo returns for an update, but first the Dolphins are one of the teams playing in Madrid this upcoming season. Boomer said in 2028 or 2029 there will be an NFL division in Europe and they will all be expansion teams. Gio thinks it sucks and he hates it. Bill Belichick supposedly didn't sign his contract yet at UNC but that doesn't seem to be a big deal. Ed Werder said Jerry Jones is enamored with Deion Sanders. Adam Schein doesn't see it happening.

Hour 1 NFL Divisional Weekend is upon us and the marquee game is Sunday night with the Ravens at the Bills. This game is likely to come down to who turns the ball over the most. People are acting like Lamar Jackson can't play in the cold weather. The man plays in Baltimore. Boomer wonders if the Chiefs will ever come out and just blow somebody out. Gio wonders if the Texans/Chiefs game is the big upset nobody's talking about. C-Lo is in for Jerry and is here for his first update of the day, but first we talked about Chris Berman's comb over flying in the wind. C-Lo has audio previewing the Divisional games this weekend. Aaron Rodgers was on with Pat McAfee who already doesn't like the narrative of whatever happens with Ravens/Bills. Things are not looking great between the Mets and Pete Alonso.

The book AJ Brown was reading on the sideline is up ‘53 million percent' according to Gio. Hour 2 The Giants have the third pick and the Jets have the seventh, and both need quarterbacks. Seven of the eight QBs left in the playoffs were first round picks. Two of them were the number one pick, two were the number two pick. Gio always hears the narrative that you can get a good QB in the second round but that's really not the case. Boomer thinks Cam Ward is the best QB in the draft. It seems like Ward is going to the Titans number one. A caller doesn't like Gio saying Joe Schoen had bad drafts before this last one. Dion Sanders is not going to want Shedeur going to the Browns. C-Lo returns for an update, but first we shook a lot of hands last night so we will likely get norovirus. C-Lo starts with Nick Sirianni on the Rams and Sean McVeigh on the Eagles. Bob Uecker passed away at the age of 90. We heard Uecker on the call as the Mets eliminated the Brewers. Arod tweeted about his passing but thinks he's Cleveland's play by play guy.

C-Lo returns for an update, but first the Dolphins are one of the teams playing in Madrid this upcoming season. Boomer said in 2028 or 2029 there will be an NFL division in Europe and they will all be expansion teams. Gio thinks it sucks and he hates it.

Hour 1 When we come back on Monday, it's ‘black Monday', where NFL coaches get fired. Will we get another regime change for the Giants? Boomer doesn't think any of the QBs in the draft are good enough for the Giants to trade up for. Boomer can see the Giants getting Carson Wentz as a ‘stop gap' quarterback. If Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll stay, what will the fans think if they're sitting at 1-7 midway through the season? C-Lo is in for Jerry and is here for his first update of the day. He starts with audio of Saquon Barkley doing a commercial for a sleep aid where he takes a shot at the Giants and John Mara. C-Lo and Boomer then talked about the Rangers and the rest of us were bored. We then got into some sound from the Steelers postgame between George Pickens and Russell Wilson. In the final segment of the hour, Gio talked about a few documentaries he watched yesterday. One was on the artist Avicii and one was on a guy who's trying to slow down aging called, ‘Don't Die'. Hour 2 We have two games on Saturday: Browns at Ravens and Bengals at Steelers. If the Ravens win, they win the division. Boomer wonders if Mike Tomlin will rest players if the Ravens win. Gio said the Steelers should not rest players and try and win so they go to Houston instead of having to play Baltimore. The Steelers always have winning seasons, but they have not won a playoff game in a really long time. It feels like it's going to be the Chiefs again in the AFC. We talked about the huge Vikings/Lions game. Gio is worried about the Vikings if they have to play in Philadelphia.
