Summary

Rich voices his concern for New York Giants rookie QB Jaxson Dart who vows not to change his reckless style of play despite repeat visits to the NFL’s Concussion Protocol this season. Actor Matthew Lillard joins Rich in-studio to discuss his new ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s 2’ horror movie, his die-hard Los Angeles Clippers and Seattle Seahawks fandom, the incredible Dodgers-Blue Jays World Series Game 7, what it was like to be directed by Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood, and more. Rich, Brockman, TJ and Lillard share their less-than-ringing endorsements of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Pittsburgh Steelers, Seahawks, and NFL teams on the outside looking in at the current playoffs field.
