Wow, at long last the 2024 college football season comes to a close with The Ohio State University planting their victory flag over Notre Dame in a captivating championship game, so sit back as Black James and White James recap the entire season, discussing our thoughts on the first iteration of the 12 team playoff, what were our favorite upset wins from the year, which teams surprised us the most, and what are we already looking forward to regarding the 2025 season! Then of course we have to prepare for conference championship weekend in the NFL with the unlikely Washington Commanders lead by rookie sensation Jayden Daniels stepping into the madness of the Linc in Philly, and America's favorite underdog Buffalo Bills having to participate in the 6th Arrowhead Invitational. Folks, football season is quickly coming to a close, we've already crowned one champion, and a couple more trophies are gonna be handed out this weekend, let's gooooooooooo!

Wow! Who would've thought? White James and Black James recording a show LIVE to react in real time to the 2025 College Football Playoff National Championship game, with #6 Ohio State taking on #5 Notre Dame in Atlanta, meanwhile we're together in front of a television making real-time notes and observations on the game, with one segment talking all about the absence of any Deep South teams in this matchup, breaking up nearly twenty years of southern dominance, and spoiler alert we get invested in Notre Dame's late rally to try to win the game! Tune in folks, it's a great episode and slice of our lives, let's gooooooo!

Well, well, well, at long last the 2024-25 Packers season has come to a close, and it was the same way it started, losing to the Philadelphia Eagles while Green Bay suffers critical injuries along the way. Week 1 it was Jordan Love, but fast forward to Week 19 and we lost Elgton Jenkins annnd Devonte Wyatt annnd Romeo Doubs annnd Jayden Reed annnd Josh Myers all in the final game of the season!!! Stick around as Black James and White James lament what happened in the playoffs while trying to remain optimistic about what happened in the regular season, especially given the strength of the NFC North. Speaking of our division rivals, it was bittersweet watching the Vikings fall in their 1st round playoff game as well, the Bears still don't have a new head coach, and the Lions were able to chill at home enjoying their bye week, so we turn our attention to the Steelers failing to win in the playoffs yet again, and the Cowboys stealing headlines despite missing the playoffs because they no longer have a head coach with McCarthy walking away from that contract negotiation.

And yes, it's a bit late in the calendar to still be discussing college football, but the newly expanded playoff has us dragging coverage out into late January, so stick around as we make our predictions between The Ohio State University versus The Notre Dame Fighting Irish as the clash to win the national championship next Monday, let's gooooooooooo!

Well, well, well, who would've thought Black James and White James would still be kicking it 25 years into the future, and yet here we are ringing in a new year with FIVE STRAIGHT DAYS of PLAYOFF FOOTBALL! We've got a lot to cover with two Big Ten teams, one Big 12...whoops one "SEC" team, and one staunch independent team facing off in the expanded college football playoffs' final four bracket. Then there's an entire weekend of NFL Wild Card playoff action, Black James laments the Packer's loss in the season finale to da Bears, and White James predicts the Vikings ship will sink even further after getting exposed by the Lions. All in all, it's a great time to be alive in America, rest in peace President Jimmy Carter.

Well, well, well, there are definitely some haters out there who think their point was proven right about SEC teams mistakenly being left out of the new 12 team playoff in favor of conference champions like SMU and Clemson who went to lose in the first round of the playoffs alongside Indiana and a beleaguered Tennessee. But that isn't going to slow down Black James and White James from looking forward to the quarterfinals taking place as we roll into a new year! Tune in for our previews and predictions of the biggest bowl games, our recap of the fan-favorite Pop Tart Bowl, and we lament the likely early playoff exit of the Green Bay Packers reeling after yet another loss to yet another division opponent, begging the question, are the Vikings legit?? Let's goooooo!

Well, well, well, remember when the Milwauke Bucks were off to a horrible start to this season? Fast forward a couple of months and we get to see Giannis dominating the paint, Lopez in great defensive form, and Dame Time showing up with perfect timing from beyond the arc to overwhelm Oklahoma City's league leading turnover margin and walk away in the fourth quarter for a win in the 2nd annual mid-season tournament! But, despite our hometown victory, does anyone really care about the NBA Cup?

And surprise surprise, the MLB hot stove season has lead to more talent being traded away from the Brewer's due to high costs of retaining baseball's best bats and arms, but are we doomed to remain a develop+dimiss enterprise? Thankfully we have special guest host Hebrew Hammer on the show this week to walk us through all of the trade talk and rumors happening across the big show's offseason this winter.

Plus how could we forget about something happening for the first time in the history of our show, a 12 team college football playoff! So we'll preview all of the first round playoff games with predictions and statements on which matchups are the most intriguing, let's goooooooo!!!

At long last the first ever 12-team college football playoff bracket has been set and released for us all to debate over, except there really isn't much to disagree with regarding who was left out vs who was accepted into the tourney. Instead, the current preferences for conference champions earning a bye week has caused consternation for those who think top seeds deserve the easiest path, but Black and White James will delve into all of the details!
