Chiefs & Eagles Won't Make The Next Super Bowl || Ep.199

54 minutes

First up, they discuss their picks for Super Bowl LX in 2026, if they had to leave the Chiefs and Eagles out of the picture. Travis and George each share their predictions for the top teams from both conferences, with intriguing matchups like Ravens vs Rams and Bengals vs Packers. Find out why they’re high on these squads and what makes their predictions stand out.

In the What’s Trending? segment, they dive into the latest headlines, including the news that De’Aaron Fox is reportedly available in trade talks and has a preference for joining the Spurs. They also discuss Kliff Kingsbury turning down the Saints job, and why Mike McCarthy is taking a year off from coaching. Plus, Bill Belichick’s bold suggestion that the Lombardi Trophy should be renamed after Tom Brady—does he have a point?

The Senior Bowl is heating up, and the guys are breaking down how the quarterbacks are performing, with a focus on Dillon Gabriel (Oregon), Jalen Milroe (Alabama), and others. They also touch on Donovan Ezeiruaku (Boston College), who’s been turning heads as a defensive prospect. Plus, they take a look at risers and fallers in other positions and discuss which prospects stand to gain the most from this week.

In the NFL world, Russell Wilson is entering free agency, and rumors are swirling about a potential reunion with Pete Carroll and the Raiders in Vegas. Travis and George break down if this could work, considering the messy end to their time together, and whether it makes sense for both the Raiders and Russ.

Finally, the guys talk about the state of NBA All-Star Weekend and the NFL Pro Bowl. Both events seem to be lacking star power—whether it’s the NBA Dunk Contest or players skipping the Pro Bowl—and the guys debate what these leagues could do to spice things up. Should they scrap these events and just hand out midseason awards instead?
