***Don't forget to leave a rating and review! We are almost to 100 ratings!*** Brady & Kegan aren't at Vanessa House tonight but they still sing its praises. Bill Connelly's top 60 QBs list from last week deserves a deep dive. Kyler Murray's stats are still stupid. Baker Mayfield saw aliens and Colin Cowherd decided to have a segment on it. Then Brady goes in on his thoughts on the state of the OU basketball program and why he's unhappy with it. Our Patreon podcast changed its name! It is now Through the Keyhole and can be found at the same page with a new name: www.patreon.com/throughthekeyhole.

Initial GM hiring grades -Broncos: George Paton -Texans: Nick Caserio -Falcons: Terry Fontenot -Lions: Brad Holmes -Panthers: Scott Fitterer -Jaguars: Trent Baalke -Washington: Martin Mayhew 3. Truth/Exaggeration -If the Texans don’t hire Eric Bieniemy as their new head coach, it will officially be the point of no return for Deshaun Watson and his relationship with the Texans -Long-term, the Jets may be a better trade destination for Deshaun Watson and he should HIGHLY consider going there (as Richard Sherman suggested) -IF the Lions decide to part ways with Matthew Stafford, the Colts and 49ers will be the top two teams in contention for his services -The Broncos should release Von Miller regardless of what the criminal investigation into his conduct reveals -The Bears made an egregious mistake by retaining both Matt Nagy and Ryan Pace for the 2021 season -Jameis Winston will be the Week 1 starter for the Saints in 2021 4. NFC Championship Preview: Bucs at Packers -It was reported today that the Bucs will get underrated NT Vita Vea back for this consequential game. This is a big deal, especially going up against Aaron Jones and that LETHAL Packers rushing attack. Could his presence be the decisive difference in this game? -How big of a deal is the absence of Antonio Brown for the Bucs? -Game-deciding matchups -Game picks 5. AFC Championship Game: Bills at Chiefs -As expected, Patrick Mahomes has cleared the concussion protocol, but he also suffered a toe injury in last week’s hard-fought divisional playoff contest against the Browns. How much will the toe injury hinder his improvisational abilities in the pocket, which are a trademark of his game? -Buffalo’s D sold out to stop the pass in their previous matchup and dared the Chiefs to run. Do you think they will do something similar on Sunday? -Game-deciding matchups -Game picks 6. Bold predictions -Me: Bucs/Packers will go to OT. Rodgers gets the ball first and the Packers end up 4th-and-goal at the 3…and kick a FG. Then Brady responds with a 10-yard TD to Gronk and third-and-goal -Matt: Josh Allen throws for three TD and runs for two more...and totals 375 yards 7. Challenge Flags -Me: Josh Allen, don’t get into your bad habits from 2019 (i.e: holding the ball too long) -Matt: Officials…DON’T BLOW IT!!!!!

New intro! Brady and Kegan open up about the surprise party over the weekend where Brady finally moves on from his Bob Stoops sports hate. Oklahoma seems to be in a good place health wise following Lincoln Riley's presser. Kegan goes on a rant about how the SEC/National media are justifying the SEC's reaction to the air raid. Then Brady asks Kegan if OU is closer to being a 3-0 conference team or if they are simply a "1-2 conference team who beat their worst opponent on the schedule and it took 4 over times to do it."
Tom Brady has a complicated history with the University of Michigan. He was estranged from the school he loves for more than a decade after graduation. Why? He felt unappreciated. He showed up as a freshman seventh on the depth chart and was redshirted. Then Brady was a back-up for two years. And despite a 20-5 record his final two seasons when he was finally named the starter, Michigan coach Lloyd Carr kept Brady looking over his shoulder at local phenom Drew Henson.
