On today's episode, Jason explains why the Houston Texans decision to hire David Culley as their next head coach appears to be an abject failure on its face. Culley was most recently the passing game coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens, who just so happen to have the worst passing game in the NFL. If you think this is going to help keep Deshaun Watson in Houston, you’ve got another thing coming. Speaking of quarterbacks, Matthew Stafford appears to be the 2nd best signal-caller that could be available this offseason. And, unlike Watson, the teams most likely to make a run at Stafford should be ones that are already playoff-caliber. Don’t be surprised if Stafford has a Tom Brady-like impact on whatever team he ends up with.

Plus, former NFL linebacker and FS1 NFL analyst LaVar Arrington swings by to discuss what it was like being one of the marquee players in an NFL Draft that included a sixth round quarterback named Tom Brady, why he feels like he never fully developed into the NFL player many expected he would become coming out of college, how the speedy Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebackers Devin White and Lavonte David will matchup against the high-octane Kansas City Chiefs offense in the Super Bowl, what it's going to take from the defenses to make Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady uncomfortable, why his opinion of the Chiefs has changed considerably from the middle of the season, how his new FOX Sports Radio show 'Up on Game' could change the way sports media executives view former athletes moving forward, why he's so excited to see former Penn State standouts Micah Persons and Jayson Oweh in the NFL and why he expects both guys to dominate their Pro Days, and much more!
