Also talk about the upcomming March Madness tournament.

Dave's son started following the wrong bald fat guy at the water park. Embiid and KAT both have huge nights, one of them is celebrated, the other is ripped by his coach. Milwaukee Bucks fire Adrian Griffin 43 games into the season with a 30-13 record, and they hire, known winner (sarcasm) Doc Rivers to replace him. 5 former Canadian World Junior team members take leave for personal reasons from their respective pro teams shortly after the London Police ask for people involved in a sexual assault investigation to surrender themselves to police. Vince McMahon has another sexual assault allegation, and there's receipts, and they are wild, apparently him and Amber Heard have shit in common (pun intended). NFL coaching carousel, John has his saviour in Harbaugh, no one wants Bill.

We react to the Pasqal Siakam trade to Indana. The 2024 NHL All-Star jerseys are horrific, vomit inducing pieces of trash. The Mannings are coaching the Pro Bowl, again, do we like this set up, do we like the Mannings, who even watches the Pro Bowl?

Dave's about to narrowly miss the playoffs for the second straight season, has not quite being good enough starting to fuck with Dave's head yet? The Wizards and Capitals are moving to Virginia. Siakam and OG keep coming up in trade talks, what would we like to see happen? Do we trust Masai Ujiri anymore? Chargers fire everyone! Steelers suck! Arsenal's good! When does trash talking go too far? Does or should that line exist?

My heart is broken. I (Dave) was completely bought in, I had already ordered my Shohei jersey in every colour for me and my 4 kids and my dog. I believed every bullshit report that came out this weekend. Now, I'm a broken man, with a bunch of jerseys I can't wear. John tried to pull me out of it by asking me about Christmas traditions. Then we get into John's depressing football fandom, and how bad the Chargers are. On the bright side for John, seems like the Chiefs are a mess right now. The in-season championship happened this weekend, I guess, I didn't notice. Lakers won, LeBron was the MVP. Grievances and gratitudes.
