The greatest era of NFL QBs has come to an end as Tom Brady announces his retirement from the Buccaneers and suspiciously leaves out the Patriots from the full written statement. Tuesdays are for accountability, so we play another round of 'Take the L' from the conference championship picks before hearing Brock Huard's comments on Tom Brady.

Today's show begins with a momentous announcement about the Apple Podcast rating of the Mike Salk Show and we set a new goal moving forward. Richard Sherman is the Seahawks gift who keeps on giving, at least in terms of content, with his comments about Seahawks fans from the Richard Sherman Podcast. Salk takes great offense and breaks down his points 1 by 1.

Salk thinks Russ would easily win a Super Bowl and be a great fit on the 49ers right now. We take your calls on what playoff team you think Russ would fit best on? Then, Brock Huard joins Salk to break down the NFL championship games and we have a Ranked inspired by Salk's disdain for Tony Romo as a commentator.

Takeaways start with the AFC game of the Chiefs & Bengals, and Salk notes that for all the talk of the QB’s in the AFC, the defenses aren't great. Poor tackling, wide open receivers, not enough pressure or ability to finish when they do get near the QB. The NFC is all about hard-nosed defense & big hits. John Clayton's Morning Drive reacts to more coaching hires and the "retirement" of Tom Brady.

Salk thinks the Tennessee Titans and SF 49ers would be SuperBowl bound with Russell Wilson at QB, but questions what makes a great QB in 2022? His idea of what used to be the gold standard has shifted in this era of football. We compare the Bengals to the Mariners on their turnaround and hope the M's are next for a culture change. Brock Huard joins to share his thoughts watching these Championship games.

The AFC and NFC Championships delivered on another amazing weekend of football with 2 drama-filled games. Ultimately it was the Cincinnati Bengals & LA Rams who will move on to the SuperBowl and Salk is supremely upset about this. Justin (the Bengals fan) takes us through the AFC side of things before Maura covers the Rams/49ers game.

Salk takes your phone calls on everything from the MLB hall of fame vote, to the NFL Championship match-ups, to whether the Super Bowl should be moved to a Saturday or not. Then, Brock Huard stops by to talk give his picks for this weekend's games. Plus, we have a listener nominated list for Ranked.

Gee Scott (Gee & Ursula, 97.3 KIRO) makes his weekly Friday appearance with Salk and gets into his thoughts on the NFL coaching hires around the league. Quandre Diggs was voted into the Pro Bowl but can't play due to his injury, yet the NFL is asking him to pass a physical before they let him participate in any events or activities. John Clayton's Morning Drive gives another perspective on the NFC / AFC Championship weekend.

The big takeaway from nearly every conversation about the Seahawks is that they aren’t talented enough - especially compared to the other NFC West teams, and even more so at the top of their roster. Is it true? We make our NFC/AFC Championship game picks and will see who is 'Taking the L' (on Tuesday @ 7:30a) before our daily chat with Brock Huard and his outlook on the games.
