Summary
Happy 2024, listeners. Here’s to another year with more Distractions. We’re giving you the classics on this two-man episode: leading off with Drew vomiting and how weird are the fans of the teams in the college football finals. Then our favorite football guys are truly being their best self at the turn of the year: Dan Campbell going for two many times in a row, the Broncos performing publicly ridiculous management malpractice, and the Jets committed to circling the drain with the exact same cast this year as last year. And as always, we dive into the Funbag!

About The Show
The Distraction is Defector's flagship podcast about sports (and movies, and art, and sandwiches, and certain coastal states) from longtime writers Drew Magary and David Roth. Every week, Drew and Roth tackle subjects, both serious and impossibly stupid, with a parade of guests from around the world of sports and media joining in the fun! Roth and Drew also field Funbag questions from Defector readers, answer listener voicemails, and get upset about the number of people who use speakerphone while in a public bathroom stall. This is a show where everything matters, because everyone could use a Distraction. Head to defector.com for more info.
