On today’s show, Pat, AJ Hawk, and the boys chat about last night’s Thursday Night Football game between the Rams and the Saints, and how the Rams are turning into a team that nobody wants to play come playoff time, before previewing the entire NFL week 16 slate and making their picks against the spread. Joining the progrum to chat about last night’s game, some of the marquee games this weekend, and if teams like the Chiefs and Eagles can turn things around before the playoffs is former NFL GM, 3x Super Bowl Champion, NY Times best-selling author, and host of the Lombardi Line/GM Shuffle podcast, Michael Lombardi (21:27-53:28). Next, ESPN MLB Insider, Jeff Passan joins the show to chat about Yoshinobo Yamamoto signing with the Dodgers on a 12 year, $325 million deal, and Ty’s foray (and catastrophic failure) into the breaking news world (1:14:03-1:37:53). Later, 11 year NFL veteran on the defensive line, 2018 Walter Payton Man of the Year, 2x Super Bowl Champion, and host of the Green Light Pod, Chris Long joins the show to chat about the Eagles, why he likes the Rams so much, his thoughts on Bill Belichick potentially not coaching in New England next year, the Ravens/49ers tilt on Christmas Day, and much much more (1:51:38-2:31:45).
