Join me as I sit down with Mike Yam and we ask all the questions we would ask if we had nothing to do with the NFL. Questions like: Who do you want to win Super Bowl 58? Who deserves it more? Which coach do you trust more who has the edge when it comes to where the game is being played? The Niners are favorites but should they be? Is this the exception to that rule? Does culture or character give one team the edge? We weigh the narratives: the Chiefs solidifying a dynasty or the unlikely Mr. Irrelevant seizing the Super Bowl MVP title? And of course, we address the burning question: Is Patrick Mahomes on the path to becoming the greatest of all time or is he already there? The conversation takes an unexpected turn when we uncover Mike Yam's mysterious issue with Taylor Swift. And finally, what is Mike Yam‘s issue with Taylor Swift? So forget all the data, all the metrics all the statistics and all the analytics this is all about gut and it may be the best conversation about Super Bowl 58. You will hear all week.
