This news broke a few hours before we recorded, but I guess I missed it. May Willians Astudillo come and rescue us. As was the case the last time we recorded, there was an issue with the studio microphone, so we recorded this week's episode on my phone.

Aaron and Chandler touch on NFL free agency (mostly as it relates to the Vikings) and the NCAA Tournament before sharing the stories of their favorite upsets. A clarification: Chandler speculates that the 2007-08 Patriots beat the Steelers and Colts en route to their AFC Championship. In fact, they beat the Jaguars (who beat the Steelers in the previous round) and Chargers (who beat the Colts in the previous round). Read more »
