Former NFL star Chris Long joins the show to pull back the curtain on the "Tua" discourse and explains why the average fan underestimates the Herculean effort required to win a single NFL game. Then, we dive into a massive Week 16 slate: The Philadelphia Eagles look to lock up the East, while the Bears and Packers prepare for a Saturday night war. Plus, Dave pitches a wild "Call Out" playoff format—imagine Bo Nix choosing Denver’s first-round opponent on live TV.
