The Best of the Sports Shop

Reese, Pam and Alex speak with CL Brown and GameDay Charlie.

It is Throwback Thursday! And the year? 2002. Georgia shut out Alabama 14-0 in the first half of the December 2025 SEC Championship game, which was the first time Georgia held Alabama scoreless in a first half since before 2002. 

CL Brown and GameDay join the Sports Shop to discuss the Sherrone Moore/University of Michigan situation, the College Football Playoff rankings, the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary Boo-Yah: A Portrait of Stuart Scott and more.

Reese, Pam and Alex discuss the firing of Sherrone Moore, the police detention and the chain of events that led to one of the wildest weeks in Michigan football history.

Sherrone Moore was fired with cause by the University of Michigan after an internal investigation concluded that he had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, a clear violation of university policy that nullified his contractual buyout. The firing came at the end of a 9-3 season during his second year as head coach after taking over for Jim Harbaugh. Just hours after his termination, Moore was detained by police in Saline, Michigan and transferred to Pittsfield Township as part of an ongoing assault investigation, with authorities confirming that a suspect, widely reported to be Moore, was booked into the Washtenaw County Jail while prosecutors reviewed potential charges. What really happened?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss discuss Philip Rivers’ surprising return to the Colts, whether he is the best quarterback option amid the team’s injury crisis and the upcoming Stuart Scott 30 for 30 documentary celebrating his legacy.

Philip Rivers, the longtime Chargers quarterback who retired after the 2020 season, has unexpectedly returned to the NFL at age 44 by signing with the Indianapolis Colts’ practice squad. The Colts are dealing with a severe quarterback shortage after Daniel Jones tore his Achilles, Anthony Richardson remained sidelined and rookie Riley Leonard suffered a knee injury. Was Philip Rivers the best option for the Colts? Was Colin Kaepernick a better option?

There is an upcoming ESPN 30 for 30 documentary Boo-Yah: A Portrait of Stuart Scott that focuses on the life and legacy of the iconic sportscaster Stuart Scott. Premiering tonight December 10, 2025, the film explores Scott’s rise from his early local-TV career in North Carolina to becoming one of ESPN’s most influential figures, known for blending sports broadcasting with hip-hop and pop-culture references that reshaped the industry. Using never-before-seen archival footage, personal home videos and interviews with family, colleagues, athletes, and friends, the documentary highlights both his groundbreaking impact on representation in sports media and the personal challenges he faced, including his courageous battle with cancer. How does Pam feel about this?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss if Philip Rivers is the best QB option for the Colts and the Eagles loss to the Chargers. 

The Philadelphia Eagles fell 22-19 in an overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night, a game defined by turnovers and missed opportunities. Jalen Hurts had one of the worst performances of his career, committing five turnovers, four interceptions and a lost fumble, including a rare sequence in which he threw an interception, recovered the ball and then fumbled again on the same play. The Eagles’ offense struggled throughout, managing only one touchdown and relying mostly on field goals to stay competitive. The defeat marked Philadelphia’s third straight setback, dropping them to 8-5. Have the Eagles fallen? Can the Cowboys catch Philly in the NFC East?

Reese, Pam and Alex discuss the Eagles’ loss to the Chargers, the growing concerns surrounding Philadelphia’s late-season slide and the Stuart Scott documentary coming out tonight.

The Philadelphia Eagles fell 22-19 in an overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night, a game defined by turnovers and missed opportunities. Jalen Hurts had one of the worst performances of his career, committing five turnovers, four interceptions and a lost fumble, including a rare sequence in which he threw an interception, recovered the ball and then fumbled again on the same play. The Eagles’ offense struggled throughout, managing only one touchdown and relying mostly on field goals to stay competitive. Saquon Barkley was one of the few bright spots, rushing for 122 yards and scoring the team’s lone touchdown. In overtime, the Chargers took the lead on a 54-yard field goal before Hurts’ tipped pass was intercepted at the 1-yard line, sealing the loss. The defeat marked Philadelphia’s third straight setback, dropping them to 8-5. How does James feel about his Eagles?

Reese, Pam and Alex discuss the Colts signing Philip Rivers to their practice squad.

Philip Rivers, the longtime Chargers quarterback who retired after the 2020 season, has unexpectedly returned to the NFL at age 44 by signing with the Indianapolis Colts’ practice squad. The Colts are dealing with a severe quarterback shortage after Daniel Jones tore his Achilles, Anthony Richardson remained sidelined and rookie Riley Leonard suffered a knee injury. Rivers, who had officially retired as a Charger earlier in 2025 and had been coaching high school football, is joining Indianapolis primarily as a depth option and veteran mentor, though the team could activate him if needed. Despite questions about his readiness after years away, former teammates and analysts believe his competitiveness and familiarity with the coaching staff could make him a useful emergency option during the Colts’ playoff push. Is Philip Rivers the Colts’ best option?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss Notre Dame’s CFP snub, the school’s decision to decline all bowl games and whether the Fighting Irish were unfairly left out despite a dominant 10-game winning streak.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish finished their season with a 10-2 and riding a dominant 10-game winning streak, but the College Football Playoff committee still left them out of the 12-team field, ranking them No. 11. Miami claimed the final at-large spot instead, largely because of its early-season head-to-head win over the Irish. The decision sparked major backlash and the school even declined all bowl invitations in protest. Did Notre Dame get screwed by the College Football Playoff committee? Is Notre Dame making the right decision?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss Duke winning the ACC football championship, Notre Dame opting out of their bowl game and more.

This past weekend featured a series of dramatic college football conference championship games that shook up the playoff landscape. The Georgia Bulldogs dominated the Alabama Crimson Tide 28-7 in the SEC Championship, earning their second consecutive SEC crown and strengthening their case for a high seed or first-round bye. The Duke Blue Devils edged the Virginia Cavaliers 27-20 in overtime to win the ACC championship. How should Duke fans feel?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss Alabama's loss in the SEC Championship, the Chiefs' dynasty and more.

The Georgia Bulldogs defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide 28-7 in the 2025 SEC Championship over the weekend. Georgia QB Gunner Stockton, who finished 20-for-26 with 156 yards and three passing touchdowns, earned MVP honors. On defense, Georgia smothered Alabama completely, holding the Crimson Tide to -3 rushing yards, effectively shutting down their ground attack and preventing any offensive rhythm. The win was especially significant because it marked Georgia’s first-ever victory over Alabama in an SEC Championship matchup and secured the Bulldogs’ second straight conference title. It also positioned them for a likely first-round bye in the College Football Playoff, while Alabama’s hopes dimmed after being overwhelmed.

The Kansas City Chiefs suffered a tough loss last night, falling 20-10 at home to the Houston Texans. Patrick Mahomes struggled, completing just 14 of 33 passes for 160 yards and throwing three interceptions, leaving the offense unable to find any rhythm. With the defeat, Kansas City’s record dropped to 6-7, marking their worst 13‑game performance in years under head coach Andy Reid and officially ending their nine-year streak as AFC West champions. The loss also severely diminishes their playoff hopes. Is the Chief's dynasty done?
