The Rich Eisen Show

Tampa Bay Times Buccaneers insider Rick Stroud tells Rich that Antonio Brown “was paranoid” after returning from his NFL suspension and in the weeks leading up to his sideline meltdown where the WR walked off the field in the middle of Tampa’s game against the Jets, and why things look “dark and gloomy” for the Bucs but he’s not counting them out because of one reason: Tom Brady.

Rich previews the Steelers vs the Browns on Monday Night Football and breaks down what went wrong for Cleveland in a season that began with Super Bowl hopes.  

Rich wraps up the show paying tribute to NFL coaching and broadcasting legend John Madden and the lasting impact he left on the game, the fans, and everyone involved in the sport.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger and Rich discuss what is likely his final home game in Pittsburgh against the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football and what his post-football plans are when he finally hangs up his cleats and walks away from his storied NFL career. 

Rich breaks down the Eagles’ climbing from the depths of a poor start to their season to landing an NFC postseason berth, why the Cowboys are formidable but still have some major weaknesses to overcome if they want to go deep in the playoffs, and offers up his kudos to the Tennessee Titans for sitting atop the AFC despite a season of key injuries and challenges.    

In his NFL Week 17 ‘Overreaction Monday’ Rich says if the Buccaneers can win the Super Bowl without Antonio Brown, if the Eagles are the most dangerous NFC East team in the playoffs, if the Bengals are the most dangerous team in the AFC, if Trey Lance can win a playoff game for the 49ers, if the Super Bowl is the Packers’ to lose, who deserves NFL Coach of the Year Award, if Rich Bisaccia should be made the Raiders permanent Head Coach, and if Matt Nagy will return next year as the Bears HC.

Michigan alum Rich revisits the Wolverine’s beatdown at the hands of the Georgia Bulldogs in their College Football Playoff semifinal in the Orange Bowl and has one final message to everyone trolling him about UM’s loss, and reacts to Ole Miss QB Matt Corral going down with a leg injury in a bowl game while other high-profile NFL Draft prospects opted out of playing in their respective bowl games. 

Rich and the guys debate of the Cincinnati Bengals are the best team in the AFC right now and if Joe Burrow deserves the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year Award over Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott.
