Summary

Rich and the guys debate what to expect from the Kansas City Chiefs’ “retooling” in the wake of missing the postseason for the first time in ten years along with Patrick Mahomes’ season-ending ACL injury. Rich breaks down which NFL teams can punch their tickets to the playoffs in Week 16. Comedian/impressionist Frank Caliendo joins Rich in-studio where he discusses his upcoming tour dates and does his expert impressions of John Madden, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, ESPN stalwarts Mel Kiper Jr, and Adam Schefter among others, including a re-imagining of ‘Step Brothers’ starring John C. Reilly and Stephen A. Smith. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
