In the third hour, Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes were joined by Score football analyst Olin Kreutz to break down the Bears' overtime loss to the Rams in the divisional round last Sunday and to reflect on the team's strong season. Later, Spiegel and Holmes discussed how star outfielder Kyle Tucker signing a four-year, $240-million contract with the Dodgers has caused MLB owners to panic.

The guys circle back to an emailed question they missed and finally explain the Cody Bellinger contract debate. If the Mets offered Kyle Tucker four years and $160M, why not offer Bellinger the same? The answer comes down to age, value, and how the Mets view Tucker compared to Bellinger, plus the sense that Bellinger's market was basically the Yankees. Then it's time for the weekly highlight reel: “Idiots With Idioms,” where everyone gets roasted for mangling phrases, mixing metaphors, and inventing brand new sayings on live radio. Add in storm chatter affecting schedules and travel, and the hour closes with Championship Sunday picks and updated playoff standings, including the big debates around Patriots at Broncos and Rams at Seahawks.

Laurence & Spiegs talk about how Kyle Tucker's contract with the Dodgers is making MLB owners seethe.

It's a full 4 hours of Great Sports Talk. The guys react to the ESPN piece on the Buss family kids fighting and comments made about LeBron. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts on the addition of Kyle Tucker. Secret Textoso RoundupSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The crew opens with a big-picture baseball thought experiment: MLB should invent “Fugazi deadlines” to turn the offseason into a fast, chaotic sprint, because the last week has felt like an NFL-style frenzy. The Mets' entire winter gets compressed into a handful of headlines, from missing on Kyle Tucker to landing Luis Robert Jr. and adding Freddy Peralta, plus the value of getting a controllable arm like Tobias Myers as part of the bigger move. Then the conversation shifts into the real Mets fan experience right now: confusion, nerves, and a growing divide. One side sees the Peralta trade as an obvious upgrade. The other sees a potential rental that cost two top prospects, and says if you do that, you better be serious about keeping him. From there, it becomes a full debate about how “rentals” actually work, with a Mike Piazza comparison, plus the bigger question hanging over everything: can anyone realistically beat the Dodgers. The answer is complicated. The Dodgers might be the best team, but baseball still gives you a shot if you catch the right breaks and play clean, because you cannot afford a single slip against a team that deep.

The Philadelphia Eagles season was nothing short of a disappointment. The biggest disappointment? The offense and how it was run. The poor rushing attack. The poor run blocking. The poor play design. All of it wasn't the brand of football Eagles fans have become used to. This week, friend of the pod, Ed Kracz from Eagles Today at S.I., joined the show for a deep dive into what we saw with this Eagles offense as they dissected the details. It was a fantastic conversation!But first, the guys discussed J.T. Realmuto's new contract with the Phillies, what it means for the team moving forward and how this offseason has looked. (Approx. 4:00)From there, they got into a discussion about whether or not Major League Baseball will now need to institute a salary cap after the Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker to a massive contract. (Approx. 12:30)Then they dove into Sixers young prospect Jared McCain, his short tenure with the organization and if his talent has fizzled. (Approx. 21:25)What they threw down on the Table this week was a great and in-depth conversation with Ed Kracz from Eagles Today at S.I. about what we saw from the Eagles offense all season. Why weren't changes made to the most predictable offense in the league week after week? Was there more going on with the offensive line than just injures? Who should be the Eagles next offensive coordinator? All of this and much more this week on the Table!

Episode 134 of Tablesetters is a live reaction episode examining how teams across Major League Baseball are balancing urgency, flexibility, and long-term thinking. We open in Queens, where the New York Mets respond to missing out on Kyle Tucker by leaning into short-term upside. That approach begins with the signing of Bo Bichette to a three year, $126 million contract and continues with the trade for Luis Robert Jr., adding contact ability, athleticism, and volatility to the lineup. The week culminates with the Mets acquiring Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers from the Milwaukee Brewers, giving New York a legitimate top of the rotation starter and much needed innings stability. We break down why Peralta's durability, strikeout profile, and contract value made him the right target despite the significant prospect cost and competitive balance tax impact. From there, we shift to the Bronx, where the New York Yankees re sign Cody Bellinger to a five year, $162.5 million deal. We discuss the structure of the contract, the opt outs, and why Bellinger's 2025 performance made him a stabilizing fit for a roster already operating deep into the luxury tax. We close with legacy, as Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones are elected to the Hall of Fame. The discussion centers on how very different career paths, one defined by longevity and completeness and the other by historic defensive dominance, ultimately arrive at the same destination. Steve and Devin connect market behavior, roster construction, and long-term planning across a league that continues to operate on multiple timelines at once. ⚾️ One episode, three timelines. The present, the future, and the history that frames them.

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott reflect on the chaos and anticipation surrounding a third Seahawks–Rams matchup, debating momentum, matchup fatigue, and why this NFC Championship feels destined to be a coin flip despite Seattle's recent dominance. But the segment segues into a January 19th birthday remembrances, including Jean Stapleton, Junior Seau, Walter Jones, and a celebration of Dolly Parton. Mitch and Hotshot Scott relive all three previous NFC Championship Games at Lumen Field, from the 2006 breakthrough to the Miracle in 2014, while setting the stage for a fourth rubber match between the Seahawks and Rams. The discussion centers on the emotional weight of the 12th Man flag tradition following Paul Allen's legacy and the uncertainty around whether Pete Carroll, Jody Allen, or another iconic Seahawk should raise it. Ray Roberts explains why the Seahawks' 41–6 demolition of the 49ers wasn't a surprise, pointing to a confident, physical offensive line and a run game that has fully found its identity. He breaks down Kenneth Walker's late-season burst, the unselfish blocking culture among receivers, and how Sam Darnold's oblique injury hasn't altered Seattle's winning formula. Mitch, Brady Henderson, and Jacson Bevens break down why the Seahawks enter the NFC Championship Game in a stronger position than either previous matchup with the Rams, pointing to rest, home-field advantage, and a run game that has fully come alive. They discuss Sam Darnold's oblique injury, the status of key injuries up front, Kenneth Walker's late-season surge, and how Seattle might better contain Puka Nacua this time around. Mitch and Puck break down the emotional roller coaster of the Rams–Bears game and why the Rams, not Chicago, have always been the Seahawks' true postseason threat. They debate quarterback advantages, Sean McVay's mastery of the Seahawks defense, and whether Seattle's dominant run game and home-field edge can neutralize Matthew Stafford. The conversation also veers into NFC Championship superstitions, the 12th Man flag dilemma, and whether it's too soon for Pete Carroll to make a symbolic return.   GUESTS   Ray Roberts | Former NFL offensive lineman and Seahawks analyst Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Jason Puckett | (Pucksports) Seattle Sports Radio Host/Analyst   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Momentum, Memories, and Milestones — Seahawks–Rams III and a Walk Through January 19th History 18:58 | Three NFC Title Games, One Unanswered Question: Who Raises the 12th Man Flag This Time? 35:16 | GUEST: Ray Roberts; Ray Roberts Saw the Blowout Coming — Why the Seahawks Are Peaking at Exactly the Right Time 1:04:35 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks–Rams Rubber Match Looms — Why Seattle Is Built for This Moment 1:27:02 | GUEST: Jason Puckett; Why the Rams Are the Seahawks' Real Problem — and Why This NFC Title Game Feels Inevitable 1:47:33 | Other Stuff Segment: Lil Jon halftime performance at Lumen Field, Seahawks home atmosphere and crowd energy, Little John diner in Bellevue/Issaquah, 2026 Seahawks outlook and salary cap space, Seahawks pending free agents (Kenneth Walker, Rashid Shaheed, Riq Woolen, Coby Bryant), Denver Broncos quarterback injury and Jarrett Stidham starting AFC Championship, college football playoff expansion debate (12 vs 16 vs 24 teams), Big Ten vs SEC power struggle, Mike Tomlin stepping down as Steelers head coach, Kyle Tucker signing with Dodgers, Dodgers vs Marlins payroll disparity, Mariners spending frustration, Arizona high school basketball player Adrian Stubbs scoring 100 points, KISS internal feud over "Beth" songwriting credit.

Mike offers his two cents on the state of MLB after Kyle Tucker signed with the Dodgers.

Mike was joined again by Corbin to do a "Can We Say That?" to open the third hour. Then, Valenti dove into the Dodgers' signing of Kyle Tucker last week and what needs to happen in MLB to fix what we're seeing in terms of the lack of parity.

Valenti kicked off the show with his takeaways from the Divisional Round this past weekend and how they relate to the Lions. He stuck with this until the news broke that the Lions are hiring Drew Petzing as their new offensive coordinator. Mike ended up focusing on this for the majority of the rest of the show, pausing briefly to offer his thoughts on Kyle Tucker signing with the Dodgers.
