    Jan 28 2026

    On today’s episode, Jason discusses why the Pro Football Hall of Fame voters decided not to elect Bill Belichick on the first ballot, how much of a role Spygate and Deflategate played in the snub, whether someone like Bill Polian - or even Robert Kraft - was the person most responsible for turning the voters against Belichick, and whether Belichick's snub could impact Tom Brady's Hall of Fame candidacy in 2028.

    Jan 27 2026

    On today’s episode, Jason discusses why he has a problem with folks who heap praise on Sam Darnold for making the Super Bowl being the same ones who go out of their way to bash reigning Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts, his expectations for Darnold in next week's Super Bowl against the New England Patriots, why it's clear that Shedeur Sanders getting selected for the Pro Bowl has everything to do with his popularity and nothing to do with his on-field play, and how the Oklahoma City Thunder could throw a monkey wrench in the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade market.
