Boomer is out today because he is sick. He missed the NFL Today yesterday as well. Phil Simms had to go home early because he was ill too. The Jets and Giants seasons are finally over, and both ended with wins. Expectations were huge for both teams this year. Will the Giants draft a QB? Will Saquon be here next year? The Giants need a downfield threat WR to help out whoever is starting week one. The Eagles were 10-1 and ended 11-6 and didn’t win the division. We played ‘Guess The Spread’ for Wild Card Weekend. C-Lo is here for his first update and started with the Jets beating the Patriots and Bill Belichick’s future. This was the Patriots worst season since 1992. The Giants beat the Eagles and Saquon scored twice. He talked about his future with the Giants. The Dolphins play in Kansas City where it’s expected to be zero degrees. The Falcons fire Arthur Smith. In the final segment of the hour, the Dolphins at Chiefs game is a Peacock exclusive. Many fans are going to forgo watching because of the hassle.
It’s black Monday in the NFL which means a number of coaches could be fired today. Ron Rivera is likely out. Mike Vrabel might go. The media in Philadelphia think Nick Sirianni could be out after the playoffs. What if Mike McCarthy loses in the playoffs? He has to get to the NFC Championship Game. The Golden Globes were last night, hosted by comedian Jo Koy. Nobody on the show knows who that is. C-Lo returns for an update but first we talked about Mike Vrabel potentially being fired. Where is the most likely place for Belichick to end up? C-Lo starts with the Jets finally beating the Patriots for the first time since 2015.

In the final segment of the hour, Pat McAfee calls out an ESPN executive for trying to ‘sabotage’ the show. We talked about ratings for shows like McAfee’s compared to views on social media.
Gio is feeling relieved that the Giants and Jets seasons are over. Gio actually bet on the Giants yesterday and it was a rocking chair spot for sure. Jerry did a 6-leg women’s college basketball parlay. Gio has been seeing Theo Von clips on social media. We also took calls from people that enjoy the comedy of Jo Koy. C-Lo returns for an update and tells us Ron Rivera has been fired and the Commanders have hired a former Warriors executive to help with a head coach and football operations person. And the Panthers have fired their GM. Bill Belichick met with the media this morning and had zero information. He said he’s under contract and will keep doing what he’s doing.

In the final segment of the hour, we talked about NFL coaches that have been fired since last night. Gio brought up the Miami mall incident where there were rumored to be 8 to 10 foot aliens. It was teenagers fighting, of course. We talked more about Jo Koy hosting the Golden Globes.
