Dan has a take that he has been working for 35 years to curate but he can't bring himself to say it: is Nikola Jokic a better offensive player than Michael Jordan? Before we get there, Dan invites Andrew Hawkins to our livestream Sunday for the AFC Championship Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills, but suddenly he has something Sunday that just won't allow him to make it. Also, Mike may have killed his elementary school principal and he tells us about how he gets hit on in saunas. Plus, sure Nikola Jokic is boring, but is Patrick Mahomes even more boring? Then, we get deep into the debate about whether Jokic could actually be better than Michael Jordan, but that is quickly shut down when we remember Michael became the best player of all time after the first three-peat.
