On today’s show, Pat, AJ Hawk, and the boys chat about last night’s Thursday Night Football game that saw Joe Flacco give yet another virtuoso performance throwing for over 300 yards again and three touchdowns, and the Browns clinching a playoff berth by beating the New York Jets at home, before going through the entire week 17 NFL slate and previewing the games and making their picks agains the spread. Joining the progrum fresh off a massive win is Super Bowl Champion/MVP, and current Quarterback for the Cleveland Browns Joe Flacco, to talk about this incredible run that he’s on right now, why it took so long for a team to sign him this year, if he’s enjoying these wins right now more than some in the past, how special it is for his kids to be able to watch him play, if he’s given any thought to next year, and much more (29:55-51:54). Later, the voice of college football, and color commentator for the NFL on Prime, Kirk Herbstreit joins the progrum live from Dallas ahead of tonight’s Cotton Bowl to chat about last night’s Thursday Night Football game, how impressive this Browns team and Joe Flacco have been, his thoughts on the bowl season as a whole, his relationship with Lee Corso, and he previews the College Football Playoff games (1:13:16-1:49:26).
