What's the "secret" behind Belichick, Brady, and the Patriots? There's no secret. It's just they are better at this than the other 31. They work harder ("No Days Off!") eat avacado ice cream, and have built a monster "program" like it was college. People who play there, bust their asses and "buy in" or they are likely gonna be gone. Andy Pollin joins me to discuss that and other post-Super Bowl storylines. I talk about why driverless cars still have some insanely high hurdles to jump before gaining mass acceptance and usage. Plus, pork chop violence from a crazy bee-atch in Florida!

What the Patriots are doing with Bill Belichick and Tom Brady is a flat out joke. A league designed to knock everybody back to 8-8, has somehow produced a single team that has the cheat code (pun intended) on how to win relentlessly. We'll never see anything like it again. More from the weekend here in Atlanta in today's meaty podcast. Up and ready to be consumed, plausibly live from my hotel room in Atlanta! Enjoy!

It would be great if Goodell could actually summon Sean Payton to Atlanta and ask in front of the entire class like a teacher: "Sean... what are you wearing under there? Can you show the class?" If you thought he's "let it go" well... no he hasn't. The State of the NFL Address. Twitter double standards. Robot golf. Tony Romo's brilliance. And more! This time: dead sober! (Whatchuwant... a COOKIE?!)

If you are the NFL, and you are actively kicking out certain media outlets for asking aggressively silly questions, when your entire event is based on silly questions... well, then.. maybe time to re-evaluate what you are doing. I am having a hard time finding things to complain about, but because I am a seasoned media veteran, you know I have my list! Plus, how come we aren't all as smart as a retired convenience store couple in Michigan who broke the lottery like it was their personal bitch - legally! Your late night, sorta-drunk-cast awaits from Atlanta!

I'm the guy who is always defending the value, the tradition, and pageantry of All Star Games and exhibitions in sports. But the Pro Bowl has become a neglected, sickly, old dog that is whimpering in misery. Time to end it. Andy Pollin joins me to discuss Alex Smith missing all of 2019 and old SB media stories. Plus if you are a prepper, I've got the doomsday mansion you can retire in style with!

I thought for sure, the caterwaulling over the blown call a week ago would have died down to a mere murmur by Wednesday. I was wrong. I have underestimated the sheer victimology ethos of today's culture. Psychologist and professor Jordan Peterson talks winning and losing with Joe Rogan. My boy Gitter prepares for "Ice Planet Hoth" in Wisconsin. My quick thoughts on the Netflix documentary on the "Fyre" Festival.

When it comes to stadium naming rights, this one is going to be a definite "Naming Wrong." How on earth can the Brewers lose the most perfect name, and perfect stadium logo in the major leagues? Oh, that's right. They didn't think it was worth the money anymore. Yeah... capitalism. Mr. X joins me for one last deep dive on the officiating, strategy, and ultimate plays that decided the AFC and NFC title games. All of that, and a disease you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy.

But then again, what did you expect from a sheltered, suburban, middle-class white boy? Notorious J-A-Y is in disbelief at my favorite songs. He's also not feeling it on this current HOF class in MLB. We talk about the bad call, reviewable P.I. and more! Also the breakdown on Bruce Allen's impromptu presser in Mobile, Alabama. And this is not a drill: The Sopranos "prequel" movie... is a GO!

Even if you are tired of the debate about reviewable P.I. and overtime rules, you have to admit that this game and this call is producing some amazing and hilarious secondary material. Like, just take ONE wild guess as to which high profile media member actually got duped by the totally faked jersey swap pic above? Andy Pollin joins me to talk about Sunday's games, the Redskins and Danny Boy, and more. Oh, and Adrien Broner is crazy. But... funny.

Sunday's NFC and AFC Championship games were thrilling, taught, high drama affairs. Filled with feats of athletic wonder and suprise. And yet, the clatter on Monday (and beyond) will almost surely be about nonsense and things that shouldn't matter in the big picture of sport. There will never be officiating perfection and there is no thing called "fairness." The sooner we learn, the sooner we can refocus on the athletic wonders in front of us. Sit, listen, and keep an open mind. I am going to take you on a journey today.
