Summary

Sean McDermott fired! Can the timing be worse? John Harbaugh and Kevin Stefanski just signed with the Giants and Falcons. Oops? And while everyone is sad today for Josh Allen no one has shed a tear for CJ Stroud. Is it because he tried to big bro Caleb Williams? Maybe. Meanwhile, there’s tough and then there’s Bo Nix making a throw after his bone snapped. The hashtag #winitforbo has become a rallying cry for the Broncos. Speaking of cry, the Chicago fans had the highest of highs and then a quick fall back to earth. They're still sobbing a day later. We don't blame them either. Then our good friend and former NFL lineman Geoff Schwartz jumps in and gets deep into religion. Yes, religion. He says it’s the key to prep yourself for the violence of a football game. Alleluia! Dave Dameshek and the Super Fuentes Brothers dive into the details on this life saving episode of Football America!

0:00.0	Well, let's see. Broncos are hosting the Patriots in the AFC title game. The Rams are on their
0:05.9	way to Seattle for the NFC title game. Sean McDermott's out. The sophomore class has emerged
0:11.7	as one of the greats already. Basically, long story short, I've been right about everything.
0:18.1	Let's talk about it a little bit more, shall we? Start the show.
0:21.1	Hi and hello, my fellow, my old pal Dave Damashik coming at you from Miami, Florida,
0:40.9	here in the belly of the beast for Monday night's national championship game.
0:45.0	We'll avoid that subject so we can lean in on pro football.
0:50.1	My goodness, has there ever been a weekend of NFL playoff action that has yielded more storylines,
0:56.6	talking points, and the rest of it?
0:58.2	We can fill the next week.
0:59.5	We only have about 50 minutes.

1:08.3	As always, we're presented by our pals over there at Draft Kings,

1:24.4	Maybe not as well as Henry Aaron wore it at MLB. And that's saying something because
1:29.2	Reggie Jackson and Willie McCovey also wore it in the big leagues Jerry West and the Iceman
1:34.4	George Gervin Ward in the NBA, Chris Pronger in the NHL. Let's give it to Hammer and Hank.
1:40.3	Aaron is the greatest 44 of all time. And with that being said, let's talk divisional round
1:45.3	what it means for the four teams left for the upcoming pair of title games next Sunday,
1:51.9	which I'm sad to report, is the last real weekend of football that we have. And then it's into
