Rams OT Andrew Whitworth tells Rich what it was like to be the oldest player in NFL history to start a game at LT at 40-years-old and how L.A. responded to positive Covid tests to key players before knocking off the NFC West-leading Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football, why being nominated for the NFL’s Walter Payton Man of the Year Award for his off-the-field charity work means as much to him as winning games on the field, and his reaction to Brian Kelly’s new southern drawl he introduced in his first appearance in front of fans at his alma mater LSU.

Show notes

Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio and Rich discuss the latest drama surrounding Urban Meyer in Jacksonville following reports of growing tension between him and Jaguars players and assistant coaches and if Jags’ owner Shad Khan would cut bait on Meyer after just one season, how hot the hot seat is under Bears Head Coach Matt Nagy and if Ohio State’s Ryan Day could be a replacement in Chicago or if the stink of college football coaches’ recent NFL struggles (Meyer, Matt Rhule, etc) could put a damper on his pro prospects, why the Vikings are likely to move on from Mike Zimmer unless Minnesota makes a deep playoff run, how the injuries to Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen could impact the AFC playoff picture, why the Browns haven’t inked Baker Mayfield to a long-term deal yet (of if they ever will), who the next Las Vegas Raiders head coach could be and the latest in the Jon Gruden vs NFL lawsuit.

In his weekly ‘Overreaction Monday’ segment Rich weighs in on hot takes including if the Bills will miss the playoffs, if Urban Meyer will be one-and-done with the Jacksonville Jaguars, if the Cleveland Browns will emerge over the Ravens, Bengals and Steelers to take the AFC North, if the Kansas City Chiefs should be considered Super Bowl favorites right now, if Justin Herbert is the best young QB in the NFL, if the Buccaneers and Packers are destined to meet in the NFC Championship Game, and if the Cowboys should be concerned about Dak Prescott’s inconsistent play of late.

REShow: Hour 1 (12-13-21) Dec 13, 2021

Show notes

Rich recaps the Buccaneers’ thrilling overtime win over the Buffalo Bills and marvels at Tom Brady’s “unparalleled” GOAT-ness at age 44, and says why Bills Mafia shouldn’t press the panic button on their season just yet.

Rich recaps the Packers’ latest win over their NFC North rival Bears and reads between the lines of Aaron Rodgers’ postgame comments when asked about his future in Green Bay, and ponders the question: are the Dallas Cowboys legitimate Super Bowl contenders or just the Minnesota Vikings of Texas (a talented team that can’t finish games) while comparing ‘Boys rookie LB Micah Parsons to Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor.

Rich reacts to rumors of brewing discord in Jacksonville where Urban Meyer is reportedly at odds with respected locker room leaders and called out his assistant coaches for making him look bad, and wonders if those reports combined with a lack of production and development from #1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence could mean a one-and-done season in the NFL for him.
