That Dude Is Still Playing Football?

Tracy and Nikki break down Week 9 in the NFL, a weekend so full of backup quarterbacks that “that dude’s still playing football” might be the theme. Tracy defends her take that the Bears look like the best team in the NFC (and the Twitter backlash that followed), Jeffrey Simmons looks like the game changer Chicago needed, and JJ McCarthy gets his second start against the Eagles. They dig into the Chargers’ collapse and what went wrong with the Mike McDaniel experiment, rank the contenders in both conferences (hello, Jaguars and Broncos), and preview Bills-Vikings on Monday Night Football. Then it’s on to a “banana cake” college football weekend: undefeated UCLA, Lincoln Riley’s strange prepared postgame speech, and a debate over NIL and the transfer portal. Plus: an influencer feud and the best post-midterms memes. Don't miss this!
