Welcome to Episode 28 of Students of the Game. The NFL is our lead topic today with a jam packed Week 13. The Giants and Jets continue their astonishing ways to disgust the class, with a schism still separating the class on whether or not the Giants are truly good or just the best of a bad situation. We run down the the rest of the weekends games and close it out with JW’s Overreactions that had some of us crying like Deshaun Watson. Sir Buns of house Giubelio had some choice words for new news coming out fo the NBA and their new rule changes for stars of the game.

Ryan brings out a new twist to 20 questions and I close out the class with Pop Quiz Trivia to try and stump the class.
