Steve was enamored with Saquon Barkley's running ability in the NFC Championship game.

Saqoun is the 7th running back to rush for 2,000 yards and did it with the 3rd fewest attempts.

I give historical context and discuss how the game has changed and how the Eagles maximize their talent and scheme.

Steve throws out hyperbolic comments that I checkmate him on each time. Oh, and remember how he said the Chiefs were done?

I think today was just a set-up for Steve to wind me up. We discuss the recent Hall of Fame inductees of Billy Wagner, CC Sabathia, and Ichiro.

Steve makes inflammatory comments about several current Hall members and others not quite in such as: Bert Blyleven, Don Sutton, Don Sutton, and others.

Somehow there is a hallow on the likes of Roy Halladay and a few others. By the way, Todd Helton gets besmirched.

Then we have to talk about the Raiders. Ugh.

Steve uses Sam Darnold's season as the base case for either the disproportionate credit or blame for QBs.

We discuss other sports and positions and how they are measured for team success.

Steve throws me a question regarding the late, great, Bob Uecker.

Discuss greats such as Joe Montana, Jim Kelly, Warren Moon, and how Joe Burrow gets a pass.

Notre Dame advanced to the National Championship this week. There are many people around the country that are fans of Notre Dame that did not attend the school, have never been to Indiana, and have never seen Touchdown Jesus.

Steve and I discuss teams that have followings by fans that either never lived in the region of the team, never attended the respective school, and/ or have little or no affiliation with the team, city, school, other than they are just supporters of that school or team.

We discuss, USC, UCLA, Oregon, Cal, Red Sox, Yankees, Jets, Braves, and others.

Jimmy Butler was suspended by the Heat this week. Steve and I take a Generational view of the hold out/ suspension of players.

We discuss what may come and the ramifications of the Butler hold out and hold that up against other star players and their withholding of services.

Duane Thomas, Bo Jackson, Romeo Doubs, Eric Dickerson and others are discussed.

Steve and I discuss the proliferation of NFL games on different days of the week and how it impacts the fan, the business, and the players.

Crazy that we have games throughout the season on every day less Tuesday now. We discuss how this has changed.

Discussed, Jerry Jones, Cowboys, Raiders, Mike Brown, Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, and others.

With the passing of Rickey and the induction of Dick Allen and Dave Parker into the Hall of Fame, Steve and I discuss their respective places in MLB history.

Rickey was the guy when I was a kid. He represented the next wave of baseball superstars after Reggie.

We discuss Dick Allen's ascension in MLB and his challenges with the times against his greatness on the field.

Dave Parker arguably was the best player in MLB for 4 - 5 year stretch.

This one gets heavy but it is an important conversation to learn where we were and how we can improve the game and the country as a whole.

Bill Belichick after a storied NFL career, he heads to UNC. Juan Soto goes to the mets for 3 quarters of a billion.

We discuss other comps across the generations and whether these are new phenonmena.
