While is seems inevitable that Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes will win his second MVP award at years end, there is an avenue for a few top QB's to sneak in and take it from him. This would take an unlikely set of circumstances, but the possibility does raise create some interesting conversation.

Following their stunning week 15 upset of the then division leading LA Rams, the Jets are winless no more. But is that a good thing? While we understand the reaction from Jets fans, we want to discuss what the Jets actually need, and why that may not come with the first overall pick.

Washington Football Team QB Dwayne Haskins is in a bit of hot water. The second year player was seen through pictures shared on instagram, maskless at strip club after his teams loss this past Sunday.

The Cleveland Indians announced Monday that following the 2021 season they will be changing the teams nickname, after 105 years. This is clearly an overreaction to appease those that are professionally offended by everything, and we think a bad decision. Never shy on opinions, we will tell you exactly why this didn't need to happen.

With news of a Covid 19 vaccine beginning to be distributed In the United States, MLB stated on Tuesday that they may push back the start of spring training in order to make sure players can be vaccinated before on-field activities resume. Whatever you think of the vaccine aside, this is a rare moment where MLB is actually ahead of a potential issue and has a plan.

With back to back losses and no running game to speak of, is it possible that the once 11-0 Steelers are headed for a very short playoff run? We explain why if Pitt doesn't end up with the right matchups, it will be a very short postseason.

On Sunday the Jets came within seconds of finally winning their first game of the season. Only to have bad play calling snack defeat from the jaws of victory. Somehow coach Adam Gase once again avoided the axe and defensive coordinator Greg Williams took the fall for it. We discuss the absurdity of this whole situation, and what the Jets can do to get back on track.

After a season and a half of turmoil and underperforming, the Philadelphia Eagles benched "franchise" QB Carson Wentz this past weekend in favor of rookie 2nd round pick Jalen Hurts.

A lot has been made about the NFL not caring about its players and worrying only about money and the bottom line. What many of these sources don't tell you is the NFL gave every player the option to opt out before the season, and still get paid. They even offered more money to players who opted out due to being high risk. We always pride ourselves on being consistent, so we decided it might be a good time to share some of the details most media outlets like to ignore.

This past week the New Orleans Saints became the second team this season to be stripped of a draft pick due to breaking Covid protocol. While we understand breaking agreed upon rules need to be met with punishment, we disagree with the public response. Fair warning, if you are among our more sensitive listeners you probably won't be to happy with this segment.

The Jaguars fired their GM, the Lions matched them and raised a Head Coach, and the Eagles may not be far behind. Where did these teams go wrong? And where do they go from here?

Baseball has been relatively quiet since the last out of the World Series, and while its not huge news, Charlie Morton going to the Braves is notable. Its also notable that Mortons now former team the Tampa Bay Rays have let other teams know they're willing to listen to offers for star SP Blake Snell. How will Morton help the Braves, and will the Rays actually move Snell?

Bengals QB Joe Burrow suffered a season ending knee injury this past Sunday. While its not the way anyone wanted his season to end, he showed a lot, just how much though is a point that Ben and Chris don't exactly agree on.

The Baltimore Ravens were considered by some...cough, cough, Chris.... to be the best team in football before the season started. But after suffering their 4th loss week 11 its very clear that they are not the same team they were last season. What changed, and how do the Ravens get back on track?

With the 2020 World Series in the rear view mirror, MLB recently announced the major awards for both the AL and NL. We'll take a few minutes to go over them and give you our thoughts.

The NFL has made an effort in recent years to try and increase diversity within its ranks. While that is obviously a great idea, we believe that the leagues latest effort may actually do more harm than good.

Kyler Murray continues to amaze just about every week. The Arizona Cardinals second year QB seems to be getting better every game, and still has room to grow. Which raises the question, just how good can he become?

Saints QB Drew Brees suffered a fairly significant injury this past Sunday, but appears to have been lucky with it not being worse than it is. We discuss how the team will fair while the future Hall of Famer is sidelined, and why Ben appears to dislike a certain Saint so much.

Plus an update on who we think will walk away with the NFL end of season awards, and Bank or Tank for week 11.

Alex Cora, A.J. Hinch, and Tony LaRussa. 3 new managerial hires all creating controversy for different reasons. We'll way in on why each is, or isn't a good fit.

The Las Vegas Raiders have been penalized 4 times by the NFL for team members violating the league Covid 19 protocols for the 2020 season, and its only week 10. Why are they having such a hard time doing things properly, and what will it mean for future offenses?

The Steelers are getting a bit of criticism after their narrow win against the hapless Cowboys this past Sunday. Some say they are only unbeaten because of an easy schedule. This is the same drum the sports media beats every year around this time about the team with the best record. Instead of explaining why this is ridiculous, we break down the Steelers remaining schedule and who we believe will be the first, if any, to defeat them during the regular season.

Just hours after we recorded last weeks episode and predicted a Rays victory, the Dodgers made us look stupid and closed out the World Series in six games. We break down a pivotal decision by Rays manager Kevin Cash that may have made that victory a whole lot easier for LA.

As is usually the case, the NFL trade deadline came and went with little activity. The hopes that this year might be different due to usual circumstances didn't materialize and only a few, role player level talents were moved. We discuss the two biggest rumored moves that didn't take place, and how the teams involved might be affected by not pulling the trigger.

The Patriots and 49ers, one team seems like they are in the middle of a rebuild, the other looks to be headed for one. But we explain why when a team is managed well, a rebuild doesn't have to mean years of mediocrity.

As of this show's recording, the Dodgers are just one game away from silencing critics and finally winning a World Series with their high priced team. Can they do it? Or can the Rays play spoiler?

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred says MLB will experience "historic" levels of debt after this Covid affected season. While decreased revenue was expected, it just doesn't make sense how a league that has so much money going through it could be in debt. We break down this story and of course, don't let Manfred off the hook.

Both the Buccaneers and Ravens made news this week by signing former Pro Bowl receivers. Antonio Brown to Tampa Bay and Dez Bryant to Baltimore respectively. What impact can these players have? And is it possible they might do more harm than good?
