Welcome to the Tom and Hawk football show I'm Andrew Hawkins.

Joe Thomas and coming up on today's show, a look at a very tight AFC playoff race.

You got Baltimore Pittsburgh Cincinnati Cleveland all right there and they all play each other down the stretch news.

And Tipp a big bucket near his attorney Bruce Ariens is going back on his word and talking out of both sides of his mouth.

I'm shocked. Bruce Ariens, he's a receiver.

He's going to look past anything that's going on with Antonio Brown or any player that helps them win because that's why he's in the position.

Plus the firing heard across the globe. He kind of lorded over his players with fear and that's how he motivated them.

All of that and much, much more coming up on this Christmas edition of the Tom and Hawk football show.

Let's get to it.

That's right ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tom and Hawk football show Joe Thomas and you Hawkins, the Tom and Hawk clan back in and again.

We're guys that we don't want to do any of that. We don't want to have to sit on the phone all day text messaging everybody looking for favors so that we can get inside information.
