Josh and Jude were joined by Brendan to talk about the firing of Chip Long by Brian Kelly and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and we speculate (with care) about the possible rise of Tommy Rees. The conversation stayed amazingly on topic for most of the episode, but this is a something that is a little more complicated than what lies on the surface. (Seems like there is A LOT of stuff here).

They don't claim to have all of the answers here, and in fact, they probably raise more questions that need to be answered.

It is what it is.

A few of the non Long/Rees/Kelly topics:

We continue to ask that you consider giving to one of these fine charities this holiday season. Each one is organized by one of our fellow Notre Dame Twitterati members, and a great way to get those awesome feels during the Christmas season.

Josh and Brendan are in the Christmas spirit and that means Christmas movies are flying into the VCR/DVD/Blu-Ray Players and streaming services. The best Christmas movies have iconic villains, and so here we are with an internet connection and a microphone talking about some of the biggest villains for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish over the last 30 years. Josh is 41 and Brendan is 35, so no... we ain't talking about Anthony Davis - although the USC Trojans are well represented.

We obviously didn't get to ALL of them, and the lightning round at the end made us crazy since some of them are MASSIVE Irish villains and they were relegated to just a quick mention. Even after that, there is still a LONG list of villains unmentioned. Join in the fun in the comment section over at One Foot Down to let us now who we missed and who are some of the biggest ND villains according to you.

In this OFF THE RAILS episode, The Emperor & Supreme Warlord took a few minutes to list off some of the things he is thankful for with this 2019 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team. There are many things we could complain about - but that's not the spirit of Thanksgiving. It's a short episode, so if you're in need of a quick break from your lovely family for a few minutes, it's a good way to get some of those positive vibes inserted right into your veins via the universe.

This weekend's game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Boston College Eagles is going to be a weird one (at least visually). NBC is offering up what amounts to be a "homer broadcast" on NBSCN, and word is that they will be celebrating Doug Flutie's Hail Mary against Miami at halftime.

Seriously.

Something else has bothered me for a few months about this game, and it's something that I've already put out there into the universe. Why is Notre Dame wearing 1988 throwbacks to celebrate 150 years of college football? Why aren't they celebrating Frank Leahy - especially given the ties to BC and Under Armour?

I discuss in this Off The Rails episode.
