D.C. sports radio is buzzing with mixed reactions to the Commanders hiring Daronte Jones as Defensive Coordinator, while Vikings insiders suggest his hybrid coaching pedigree makes him a hidden gem
The news dropped and we're processing it together—Jonathan Gannon is officially the Packers' new defensive coordinator, and the fan base has feelings. Tonight, callers flood the lines to break down everything from Gannon's Philadelphia success to his Arizona flameout, and why Jim Leonard not getting the job stings so much. The show takes a wild turn when we discover Gannon might just be the NFL's version of Michael Scott—complete with awkward pew-pew-pew noises during player introductions. Chris from Alabama, Beer Cheese, Dakota, Omar, and more weigh in on whether this is a safe hire or a panic move. We dig into Gannon's adaptable 3-4/4-3 philosophy, his coverage disguise concepts, and whether a guy who handed off play-calling duties in Arizona can maximize Micah Parsons and the defensive talent Green Bay has assembled. Plus, Super Bowl picks—why rooting for Seattle means extra pain for Vikings fans—and the Jackson Smith-Njigba regret that won't go away.

A weekly staple on 'The Rich Eisen Show' since 2018, 'Overreaction Monday' is now also an extended podcast with Rich and Chris Brockman debating the latest in the NFL. Today's topics: 1:00 - The NFC Championship Game was the de facto Super Bowl 4:40 - The Patriots are the cliche "nobody believes in this team" in this Super Bowl matchup 9:55 - The Sam Darnold redemption arc is the best storyline of Super Bowl LX 13:15 - The Super Bowl matchup would have been Broncos vs Rams if Sean Payton and Sean McVay had kicked short field goals instead of going for it 18:10 - The Vikings and Titans should fire everyone who chose to get rid of Sam Darnold and Mike Vrabel 21:45 - There's no reason for Matthew Stafford to think about retirement... he'll be back in 2026 25:45 - No more weather games! Championship Sunday should be played at neutral, perfect condition sites 30:25 - It's the most Jets thing of all-time for Sam Darnold to be playing the Patriots in the Super Bowl 33:00 - If the Steelers were just going to hire Mike McCarthy they should have never let Mike Tomlin quit Learn more about your ad choices.

Evan, Tiki, and Shaun unpack the complicated emotions Jets fans are feeling as Sam Darnold reaches the Super Bowl. Is this actually embarrassing for the Jets, or is that blame misplaced? The guys debate why this situation feels very different from Saquon Barkley, why the Vikings deserve more criticism than the Jets, and how environment and timing shaped Darnold's career arc. They also react to Shaun doubling down on his take, revisit the “I see ghosts” moment resurfacing in real time, and explore how Darnold's maturity and multiple stops helped unlock the quarterback he is now. Plus, a deeper discussion on quarterback narratives, breaking the mold of how Super Bowl QBs are supposed to emerge, and why this run defies everything we think we know.
The Steelers stun the league by hiring 62-year-old Mike McCarthy, a total departure from Pittsburgh's decades-long model of young, defensive-minded lifers. Evan and Tiki debate what it says about a shifting NFL philosophy, how long McCarthy realistically lasts, and the bigger question that decides everything: who is the quarterback? That conversation quickly turns into Aaron Rodgers speculation, with the guys reading the tea leaves on a Vikings pivot and why Pittsburgh feels like it needs a “Jets-style” veteran swing. Calls follow on parity in today's NFL, coaching candidates, and the absurdity of “scripted” theories, before breaking news detonates the segment: Shedeur Sanders gets added to the Pro Bowl roster, prompting a rant about how meaningless the Pro Bowl label has become. They wrap with a debate on officiating, replay, and why the league still won't fully commit to technology like a chipped football to eliminate the biggest spot-of-the-ball controversies.
Evan, Tiki, and Shaun unpack a jam-packed Championship Monday that spirals from weather chaos to franchise regret. The show opens with the AFC Championship turning into a snow-covered throwback and whether that kind of football should decide a title. From there, the guys debate Sean Payton's 4th down decision, Sam Darnold reaching the Super Bowl, and which franchises should feel the most pain. The Steelers shock the league by breaking decades of tradition with a Mike McCarthy hire, igniting Aaron Rodgers speculation and questions about the future of coaching stability. Along the way, the Pro Bowl loses all remaining credibility, MLB drops a bizarre video game announcement, and Jets fans descend into full existential dread while the Patriots once again seem to benefit from the football gods. Timestamps: 00:00 – Championship Sunday chaos, snow football, and whether weather should decide titles 21:00 – Sean Payton's 4th down decision and how the game flipped 44:00 – Sam Darnold to the Super Bowl and ranking which teams regret him most 1:18:00 – Cinco de Luncho: Sam Darnold regret list sparks Jets vs Vikings war 1:58:00 – Steelers hire Mike McCarthy and completely abandon their historic model 2:32:00 – Aaron Rodgers futures, Vikings buzz, and who actually has a quarterback 3:05:00 – Pro Bowl outrage, MLB The Show cover mystery, Jets misery, and why the Patriots always get the breaks
The Jets are preparing to move play-calling away from Tanner Engstrand, and Evan and Tiki react to the idea of adding a veteran voice, with Frank Reich suddenly in the mix. They debate what it says about Aaron Glenn, whether the Jets are shopping for true “best and brightest” hires, and why experience might matter if Glenn is on thin ice. The hour also swings to the Giants hiring Denard Wilson, then back into the never-ending weather debate and a call from Colorado that claims the blizzard timing was predictable. Cinco de Luncho turns into a full argument as Shaun ranks the teams with the biggest Sam Darnold regrets, sparking a Jets vs Vikings vs Giants fight. Plus, the show closes with the strange SNY Mets director situation, rumors, and why it's smarter for everyone to step back until real facts come out.
A listener pitches a wild idea: split the NFL into “good weather” and “bad weather” conferences so championship games aren't decided by teams caught in conditions they never play in. Evan and Tiki debate it, Shaun hates it, and the conversation turns into a dome vs rivalry argument in a hurry. Then Cinco de Luncho pours gasoline on the Sam Darnold discourse with a ranked list of the teams that should be sick over letting him go, sparking a Jets vs Vikings fight that refuses to die. Later, callers weigh in on the Patriots' road and whether the NFL should have adjusted kickoff time knowing the storm was coming. The segment closes with a strange Mets broadcast story as “creative differences” turns into a weekend of rumors, and the guys agree the smartest move is to step back until actual facts come out.
Drafted third overall by the NY Jets who (of course) could do nothing with him. Bounced around. Disrespected by the Vikings. Now he's going to the Super Bowl. Ha!

This week on Second Act Stories, we're featuring a series called "Rewriting the Playbook." This group of episodes features guests whose journeys share a common connection to sports, sometimes front and center, sometimes quietly shaping the path forward. In these conversations, the influence of competition, teamwork, and discipline shows up in different ways, informing career pivots and personal reinvention. Together, these stories explore how the lessons learned on the field can echo long after the final whistle, guiding second acts that are anything but predictable. Fran Tarkenton is unquestionably one of the greatest quarterbacks ever to play the game of football. A true legend who rightfully earned his place in the NFL Hall of Fame, the College Football Hall of Fame (for his championship career with the University of Georgia Bulldogs), and on the list of the 50 Greatest Minnesota Vikings AND the 50 Greatest New York Giants. In his rookie season in 1961, Fran joined an expansion team called the Minnesota Vikings, and in the first-ever Vikings game he threw four touchdown passes and ran for a fifth, upsetting the great Chicago Bears. At the time of his retirement from the NFL in 1978, Fran owned every significant passing record: 3,686 pass completions, 47,003 passing yards, and 342 touchdowns. Legend. After retirement, Fran became a commentator alongside the one and only Howard Cosell in the Monday Night Football broadcast booth, he landed a job hosting That's Incredible, one of the biggest sensation TV shows of the 1980s, and he became an early entrant into the software business, a visionary move that launched what would become the longest-lasting and most lucrative part of his illustrious and multifaceted career. At 84.6 years old as of the date of this interview, Fran is as sharp – and as busy – as he's ever been. His company, Tarkenton, is as highly regarded as it is successful in helping other businesses grow and prosper. All the incredible lessons he learned growing up, on the gridiron, in entertainment, and in his many business ventures coalesce into his leadership of Tarkenton to this day. But Fran claims no responsibility for the success he's achieved. He attributes it all to the coaching he's received; in the NFL, from greats like Sid Luckman, Norm Van Brocklin and Bud Grant; and in business, from former IBM CEO John Akers to Walmart founder Sam Walton. In this episode, Fran shares colorful stories about his journey from the streets of Washington, DC; to Athens, Georgia, home of UGA; to the NFL; to entertainment; and ultimately to a wildly successful business career. You can learn more about Fran by Googling his name, and you can learn more about Tarkenton Companies by visiting www.tarkenton.com. ******* If you enjoy Second Act Stories, please leave us a review here.
