Summary

It goes without saying that January is a high stakes time of year for the football world, and this year, that was more true than ever. The first 12-team College Football playoff brought us three compelling rounds, mirroring the NFL’s own longtime playoff tradition. We of course covered all of it on ESPN Daily. But there are often other stories, or different angles on stories, that we don't always have room for in the show. So today, as we say farewell to January, we're trying something new. Michele Steele and Harry Lyles Jr. join Clinton Yates to further unpack some of the biggest stories of the month. As a chorus of voices begin calling for the Bills to fire Sean McDermott, does Josh Allen deserve more scrutiny? How did Marcus Freeman make Notre Dame cool? And why do so many people care about Ichiro Suziki falling one vote shy of a unanimous Baseball Hall of Fame selection? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
