They also touch on a more serious topic involving a missing spouse, before closing the episode with NFL playoff reactions and their AFC and NFC Championship picks.

CHICAGO -- — Caleb Williams dropped back, pump-faked, and found DJ Moorewide open down the sideline for the go-ahead touchdown. His latest clutch throw propelled the Chicago Bears to yet another improbable comeback win and kept their breakout season going for at least another round of the postseason. In a major January 2026 move, the Atlanta Hawks traded four-time All-Star Trae Young to the Washington Wizards for veteran guard CJ McCollum and wing Corey Kispert, with no draft picks involved. The deal sends the star point guard to D.C. as the centerpiece for the Wizards' rebuild, while the Hawks gain financial flexibility and experienced players to shift focus to youth, reuniting Young with former Hawks executive Travis Schlenk in WashingtonAND MUCH MUCH MORE Business Inquires DaDojoProduction@gmail.com
