On the last day of the week before the NFL Conference Championship games, today’s show is HEAVY football. Starting with the Dallas Cowboys, defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is electing to stay with the team, and reports say he’s being paid well to do so. What does this mean for Mike McCarthy and Kellen Moore? Moving to the teams that are playing, Calvin starts in the AFC with the Kansas City Chiefs who need to bring the pressure to beat Joe Burrow. Oh yeah, and the show has a new number you can dial 2PM - 4PM M-F CT - (877) 37-GRIND.

Dan Quinn and Kellen Moore could be coaching elsewhere next year, but they aren’t the first coaches from last season’s squad to leave. The team announced yesterday that they made some assistant coaching moves that Calvin calls “fake hustle”. For the teams still playing, the betting line continues to move for the AFC Championship game. Back to the NBA, it has been three years (!) since Kobe Bryant was one of the victims of a helicopter crash. Do you remember where you were when you heard the news?

The golf season is getting underway, and picking up right where it left off with drama between the Tour LIV and PGA athletes, notably Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy.

Basketball season is in full swing and the football season is coming to an end, but baseball season is already right around the corner.

The San Francisco 49ers are just one round away from returning to the Super Bowl. Monday brought a little distraction, however, as defensive end Charles Omenihu was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence. Sticking with the league, the Green Bay Packers are reportedly entertaining trading Aaron Rodgers, but they won’t send him to an NFC team. What landing spots in the AFC make the most sense?

In the state of Texas, fallout continues to settle from the Dallas Cowboys’ loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the playoffs on Sunday. Jerry Jones is adding to it without even speaking as he skipped his usual radio segment. In Jerry’s silence, Zeke Elliott is talking about being open to a paycut to stay with the team. Moving to the NBA, the San Antonio Spurs gave up 147 points last night, and the lack of identity is making Calvin’s butt itch.

Moving from the NFC to the AFC, Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals sent Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills packing. Calvin can already see Allen’s career going down the path of Dan Marino, and he’s flashing the warning sign now. Getting back to the NBA, Shannon Sharpe caught a lot of attention this weekend for getting into an altercation with Dillon Brooks of the Memphis Grizzlies while watching their contest with the Los Angeles Lakers. He apologized today, but he wanted all of the smoke on Friday.

The NBA took a backseat to the NFL this weekend but stole some spotlight Monday morning with the Los Angeles Lakers acquiring former lottery pick Rui Hachimura from the Washington Wizards for Kendrick Nunn and some future second-round picks.

Aaron Rodgers took some heat this week for comments he made about pursuing an MVP, notably not mentioning another Super Bowl title. Rob Gronkowski clapped back at Rodgers on a separate appearance of his own, and Calvin is 100% with Gronk. Before the end of the show, it’s time for final notes ahead of the NFL divisional round, and getting into Dejounte Murray’s comments that put some shade on Tony Parker.
