At a certain point, a coach can only dine out on his one Super Bowl championship for so long, before people start asking to see your wallet. For Mike McCarthy, this firing was long overdue. And after a dud like Sunday against the Cardinals, totally justified in its swift (and somewhat shocking) timing. Kareem Hunt is not Ray Rice, even though the Shield has learned nothing since then. Week 13 highlights. College Football playoff seedings. John Legend's version of Charlie Brown Christmas.

Former Washington Bullet Kevin Grevey sits down with us at www.dcprimesteaks.com and shares life in the pre-historic NBA days where he could sprain his wrist in the NBA Finals, and get the worst, most inattentive medical treatment you've ever heard! Kevin is a current NBA scout for Mitch Kupchak and the Charlotte Hornets, and he's not afraid to give his opinions on where the league is now, and where it's going. He also tells the tale of how Kentucky closed the deal on recruiting him out of high school (spoiler: it involved a car!)

So much for a second DV charge being fatal to one's NFL career, huh? I guess the age old adage about being good enough to be worth the trouble, is indeed "age old" for a reason! Notorious JAY joins me to discuss the Lamar Jackson phenomenon in Baltimore, and other Week 12 NFL observations. Plus a rousing version of FTG and how much would you pay for a sport coat?

I was impressed at how effortlessly the Verizon store was able to get me to jump into a new $1200 supercomputer, that also, according to reports, can make a telephone call. Andy Pollin joins me to talk podcasting, the NFC East, Mack Brown's return to coaching and when college kids used to play the Super Bowl champs. All that, plus savages are gonna savage. Best just leave them alone!

So much for Cousins stinks under the bright lights. In a game the Packers had to win, the Ninja Aaron Rodgers was the one with no answers. Now, Mike McCarthy's grim march to the coaching gallows begins. Week 12 in the NFL. Tiger v. Phil. Thoughts on football "strategery" and more. Rueben Foster. Jim Harbaugh. Hue Jackson.

Former American University head basketball coach Chris Knoche (aka: "The Other Coach K") and current University of Maryland radio analyst sits down to discuss college basketball in depth and with no punches pulled. We talk about refs who take food of coaches tables, players who try to shave points, and the depths to which coaches must go to play the recruiting game. Plus, the annual Wall Street Journal homage to Thanksgiving in America.

So rarely does a hyped game even meet expectations in sports, but this one did all that and then "took it to eleven" Spinal Tap style with crazy. The grumps will say "no defense" but they are full of it. This game had playmakers galore, on both sides of the ball. Condi Rice is too brilliant to be a meathead football coach. Alex Smith injury update. Uniform correction. Man sues airline over having to sit next to fat guy for 14 hour flight.

The Redskins suffered an eerily similar injury some 33 years to the date on Sunday. Joe Theismann broke his leg on Nov 18, 1985. Alex Smith did the same. Joe never played again. But Alex almost certainly will. That said, the Redskins forecast for a player they assumed was a "safe" bet is now clouded with uncertainty. Thoughts on bad calls and whining about the refs. Uniform reviews. Harvard player with stupid taunt. Why I'm not paying for Tiger v. Phil.

The Mississippi Mouth never shied away from talking smack when he played in the NFL, and Fred Smoot hasn't lost a step in retirement. He's a relentless talker, impossibly upbeat at all times, and full of incredible stories from his days in both Washington and Minnesota. From playing with Sean Taylor, to the infamous Love Boat scandal with the Vikings, nothing is off-the-menu of topics in this nearly hour long sit down.

I've never met a fanbase that claims to be hardcore on the one hand, but then whines about being misunderstood whenever anyone else points out "hey, look at those hard ass fans in Philly!" Which way do you want it, Eagle fans? Pick one and go with it. Drew Olson of the Big 920 in Wisconsin joins me to talk about the most important Aaron in Green Bay (not Rodgers!) and also the best ice, and NFL scheduling. All that, plus robots will someday be every bit as creative as humans. Scary! The Festival of Dangerous Ideas!
