About this episode
Rich recaps the top ten wildest moments from the NFL’s unforgettable Divisional Round games that were not lacking for dramatic moments. ESPN’s Bomani Jones and Rich discuss the importance of quarterback play for NFL teams to get deep in the playoffs as evidenced by Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow (but not by Ryan Tannehill), why he’s not terribly impressed with either QB in the NFC Championship Game (the Rams Matthew Stafford and the 49ers Jimmy Garoppolo), the up-in-the-air futures of Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady, and why he wouldn’t mind the NFL going back to the old sudden death rules for overtime games, which leads into a thorough dissection of the NFL’s and College Football’s OT rules and if they should be changed. Rich weighs in on the latest in the MLB labor talks, and presents this week’s ‘Courtyard by Marriott REisen Shine Award’ to Bengals kicker Evan McPherson after the rookie’s called shot field goal to send Cincinnati to the AFC Championship game to face the Kansas City Chiefs.
