Show notes

Happy holidays, everyone! Be safe. Have fun. Spread the holiday joy! We will see you next Monday!

Today’s word of the day is ‘null and void’ as in DK Metcalf as in the NFL as in Steelers as in Lions as in suspension. The NFL handed down a two game suspension for what Metcalf did in grabbing a fan during the Steelers game on Sunday. This could be very costly for Metcalf as his guarantees could now be voided. Uh oh. (12:00) Draymond Green stormed off the bench and into the locker room after an argument with Steve Kerr mid-game! Never seen that before. Ridiculous. (23:30) The Kansas City Chiefs are heading to Kansas! Yes, they are leaving Missouri! How could that happen? (35:00) Review: Castaway. (41:00) NPPOD. (45:30) The NBA is trying to figure out ways to have relationships with gambling but make the game safer. Injury reporting. Prop bets. Tanking.

Show notes

There will be a show tomorrow, but no shows Wednesday-Friday!

Today’s word of the day is ‘motormouth’ as in Pittsburgh as in Detroit as in Steelers as in Lions as in DK Metcalf as in fan. DK Metcalf grabbed a fan and looked to throw a punch at that fan during the Steelers win over the Lions. And nothing happened during the game because the NFL said no flag was thrown? WHAT? Let’s discuss this event and how wrong it was by the fan, by Metcalf and by the NFL. (15:00) The Miami Dolphins will not bring Tua back next year. The Miami Dolphins will bring Mike McDaniel back next year? WHY!? (25:40) The Los Angeles Dodgers have broken another record. This time it’s the size of their luxury tax bill. Awesome!

Show notes

Today’s word of the day is ‘convicted’ as in Mike McDaniel as in Tua Tagovailoa as in Quinn Ewers as in Zach Wilson as in those Miami Dolphins. Tua has been benched. The $50 million man. Stephen Ross has decisions to make, and each is so costly it blows my mind! (12:40) NPPOD. (20:00) The Chicago Bears of Indiana? It could happen!

Show notes

Today’s word of the day is ‘banner’ as in Knicks as in Spurs as in NBA Cup as in Las Vegas. What a game. What a cup! The New York Knicks! Does the NBA Cup matter though? The players played hard. Teams wanted to win. Do the fans care? Should the fans care? (14:00) Expansion could be coming to the NBA. Will Seattle and Las Vegas get a team? Will another city get a team? Will there be no expansion because the owners don’t want to split the pie? (23:20) Warriors owner emailed a fan. Not always an issue. But sometime it can be right after a loss. (32:00) The Miami Dolphins are exactly the franchise everyone thinks they are. Poorly run. Poorly managed. Poorly played.

Patrick Mahomes tears ACL as Chiefs see dynasty end; Philip Rivers proved me wrong! Mets fans look away! (Episode 1391 Hour 1) Dec 15, 2025

Show notes

Today’s word of the day is ‘depravity’ as in Brown University as in Bondi Beach as in the Reiner Family as in the world we live in. We’re a sports show, so we will talk sports first. The Chiefs dynasty ended in the worst way possible; a loss to a division rival to be eliminated from playoff contention and a Patrick Mahomes torn ACL. Disaster. (12:30) Philip Rivers looked… decent!
