You may have noticed the Chicago Bears were down by 18 points to the Green Bay Packers at halftime during their game in the NFC Wild Card round. Sports fans everywhere said the game was over. The Bears were a fluke. The Packers would win easily with Jordan Love playing the whole game. Chicago is cold.

Okay, that last part is accurate, but all too often, we see people putting down a team during a game, and then that team comes back and wins. And people far pettier than us will keep those receipts and make you look silly. Talking trash during a game is all well and good—just remember to finish it off. Which, you know, is tough for fans, because none of us are actually playing in the game.

Plus, Joey saw a very funny comedy set from Kevin Nealon, Sean is still glad he's not playing fantasy football, and this exchange between Liam Coen and maybe a reporter is incredibly heartwarming: https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/1qadgk3/highlight_awesome_postgame_exchange_between_a/

It's a new year, but sports continue to be dumb! We're chatting through some of the silliest moments of the NFL season, perhaps best enshrined by the NFC South champion Carolina Panthers finishing 8-9 and making the playoffs, while the entire NFC North finished with a winning record (and two of those teams didn't make the playoffs).

Plus, we're sharing some New Year's resolutions around sports, Sean is thrilled that he has continued to avoid playing fantasy football, and Joey helped a lost dog return home. And how about those Miami Hurricanes?! The College Football Playoff is wild, gang!

We also talk about Leslie Jones's terrific memoir. You can check it out here or listen to the audiobook wherever audiobook are available.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and wouldn’t you know it, sports are still dumb. We’re in a nostalgic mood as part of our last episode of the year, so we’re diving into some of our favorite, most memorable, and dumbest moments from 2025. You’ll hear about the Luka Doncic trade, a bizarre stretch of behavior from Puka Nacua, and an insane amount of wild games on March 27.

Plus, Sean received a lovely box of cookies as a gift but has to contend with ants. And many years ago, Joey missed the opportunity to play basketball with Adam Sandler. It still bums him out to this day.

Thank you as always for listening. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season and we’ll see you in the new year!
