Summary
In the latest edition of the Good Morning Football Podcast, hosts Kay Adams, Kyle Brandt, Mike Garafolo, and Hall of Famer Cris Carter discuss Sean Payton stepping down from the Saints and looking forward to what's next for the coach. How long will retirement last before he's in front of a camera or coaching a team? The crew asks what the biggest question is heading into Championship Weekend and what a win would mean for each of the four remaining QB's. Mahomes and Burrow are playing for the crown of the best young QB while Garoppolo could be playing for next season and Stafford is playing for his legacy. Plus, we get a visit from Grammy and Academy Award winning artist Melissa Etheridge to talk about her hometown Chiefs.
