Satire exists, but many on the right want to believe. Even Vivek Ramaswamy weighed in to say the romance between the tight end and pop singer is a cynical political/corporate plot to advance certain agendas. Refs can influence the outcome of a game, but has a whole season been rigged? The NFL and its gambling partners are in business for billions, and if true it would be the greatest case of fraud in history-- and would forever shatter the league and the integrity of the game. The Lions' historic run comes to an end, but can they return? Bill Belichick is still unemployed, but what about Andy Reid-- do the greats know when to walk away from the game?

Fire chief Kief and Jon talk the Championship round, and what's next.

It's election year-- are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?  Those in power can't let you think about the price of milk let alone a house, or the rising tide of war across the world and in Texas. The media is here to distract you from all your grievances. Why think about 5 service members killed, or Lindsey Graham's warmongering when you can think about how funny John Stewart is? He will bring back the heyday of The Daily Show and once again shame people for thinking critically or disagreeing with him.

Where are you looking? Eric and Deadleg will keep your eyes on the prize-- the most disastrous presidency ever. Even Harding did us a favor Biden hasn't yet.
