The College Football Playoffs kickoff on Friday, with Alabama set to play Cincinnati before Georgia clashes with Michigan. While 'Quis thinks Cincy actually has a shot against mighty Alabama, it's actually the Michigan-Georgia game that they'll have their eyes on, as the former tries to run on that dominant Bulldog front. Meanwhile in the NFL, both Quis and Corey agree the Chiefs and the Packers look to be the most dominate teams in their respective conferences, but there is much debate about which teams can challenge them. The NBA ratings are tanking, and useless protocols aren't helping, as teams trot out some version of G-League All Stars and washed-up vets to fill the void. Oh yea, and Steph and Ayesha, the NBA's power couple... rumors have it they step out on each other! Check out episode 17!

The NBA and NFL testing protocols have resulted in hundreds of players across both leagues testing positive and missing time, and as a result the leagues have had to revert to signing a bunch of no name players.
