Johnny Manziel couldn’t make it to GameDay, but he did make it to Miami. The Dodgers are spending like there’s no cap, DraftKings had to eat a brutal betting glitch, and the Chiefs are moving from Kansas City to…Kansas City. Comedian Matt Stanton joins the show for a full breakdown of NFL teams in a White Elephant gift exchange, plus Sip/Chug/Drainpour chaos, domes vs open-air stadiums, DK Metcalf vs a fan, USC backing out of playing Notre Dame, and why MLB owners are cheap billionaires hiding behind “competitive balance.” Also: too many CFB 26 clips, a Flyers radio hot mic disaster, Jake Paul and Andrew Tate both getting knocked out, and a Chromakey Christmas miracle.

Mike’s out, so naturally Mookie immediately starts messing with the background, and somehow that becomes a recurring issue all night. We kick things off with beer intros before diving headfirst into the Joe Burrow discourse. Is he hinting at retirement, or is he just completely done with Cincinnati? Fans don’t seem especially sympathetic, especially when the Bengals once again look like one of the most dysfunctional franchises in the league, capped off by violating NFL policy and forcing fans to shovel snow out of their own seats before getting shut out by Baltimore. Things spiral from there. Patrick Mahomes blows out his knee, the Tom Brady comparisons come fast, and we try to figure out where the Chiefs go from here, including which NFC team Mahomes might randomly win a Super Bowl with a decade from now. With Mahomes, Burrow, and likely Lamar Jackson out of the picture, we ask the uncomfortable question: is this finally Josh Allen’s year? Somewhere in the middle of all that, Phillip Rivers comes out of retirement, looks terrible throwing the football, still scores a touchdown, and somehow drags us into a full Hall of Fame debate, complete with conspiracy theories, Colin Kaepernick questions, and a Sip/Chug/Drainpour breakdown of why Rivers actually came back (insurance money, resume padding, or escaping his kids). We also get into the Bills releasing Blizzard Brew, a beer literally made from snow at Highmark Stadium, LaKeith Stanfield being cast as Dennis Rodman in a Vegas disappearance movie, and a minor league hockey team fully committing to chaos with a “Birds Aren’t Real” rebrand. There are…a lot of CFB26 clips. Too many, honestly. Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction | Mookie messes with background since Mike's out00:04:05 Beer Intros00:10:01 Is Joe Burrow going to retire?

Another week, another round of College Football chaos, and Notre Dame is at the center of all of it. We dig into why the Irish bailed on bowl season, why the committee bent over backwards for Alabama and the ACC, and how James Madison crashing the party might actually fix the Playoff moving forward. Marcus Freeman gets the MTV Cribs treatment, Duke gets blamed for basically everything, and we take a hard look at what happens if Notre Dame finally snaps and walks away from the ACC. Plus: Oregon losing its shine, one of the wildest postgame interviews of the year, LeBron conspiracy theories, Xavier sweeping the Crosstown Shootout, MLB insanity with the Dodgers, Reds missing on Schwarber, and the growing Saudi shadow over baseball. We even close with private equity invading Utah athletics, the AP Poll telling on itself, and a FIFA “Peace Prize” that looks like it was handed out in homeroom.

Lane Kiffin officially bailed on Ole Miss for LSU, and the villain era is fully back. Tonight we run through every piece of chaos: the podcaster line that set Kiffin off, the Jerry Maguire “who’s coming with me?” moment with his staff, fans booing him at the airport, and all the tea Ole Miss fans are suddenly spilling: dog rumors, yoga class stories, disappearing messages, the whole mess. Plus: Mike torches the Notre Dame/Miami “who deserves it more” debate, the ACC’s ridiculous lobbying, the playoff criteria should get even weirder, and why this whole thing might finally force Notre Dame into a conference. We hit Wiseguy’s Top 10 for Week 14, Eagles fans egging their OC’s house, the Wieners Circle hot dog stunt after Ben Johnson went shirtless, Shelby Harris calling Jauan Jennings a ho, and Tyrese Maxey doing the Dog Show while Peterman refuses to go away.

A packed Thanksgiving-week show that went completely off the rails in the best way possible. We kick things off with festive backgrounds, beers in hand, and the usual chaos before diving into Ohio high school athletes officially being allowed to cash in on NIL money. From there, it’s Brinner talk, Tulane highlights (way too many of them), and the insane story out of UAB where a player was charged with attempted murder after stabbing two teammates. We wander into a Zaxby’s tangent, break down Rice bribing students with free beer, and dig into LSU reportedly dangling $90 million and a massive NIL budget at Lane Kiffin. We touch on the Michigan–Big Ten mess, then question why Kevin Stefanski punted from the Raiders’ 29-yard line like he was trying to protect the under. Ohio governor Mike DeWine regrets legalizing sports betting, Colorado looks rough, and the NFL Hall of Fame semifinalists are out. Then Jay Paterno jumps into the Speakeasy and we get into everything: James Franklin getting canned, where Penn State actually ranks as a job, how NIL changed the sport, the transfer portal chaos, whether collective bargaining is coming, how we got here with paying players, and how much coaches’ salaries warped the whole system. Jay talks coaching vs writing, which teams he couldn’t stand, whether politics is actually worse, and runs through the Quick Hitters before wrapping up the interview. We close with ScottSki45’s stat of the week on Griffey Jr. and Stan Musial, the upcoming Stuart Scott 30 for 30, Shohei committing to Japan for the WBC, beer recaps, and Sip/Chug/Drainpour with Thanksgiving traditions.
