Summary

On today’s episode, Jason discusses how the Baltimore Ravens' Sunday Night Football loss to New England signifies the official end of the Big Four Era of NFL quarterbacks (Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow and Josh Allen), whether or not Drake Maye should be viewed as the MVP favorite after his incredible fourth quarter performance against Baltimore, why it's more clear now than even that we have a dearth of quality quarterbacks in the NFL today, the idea that the Detroit Lions' Super Bowl window is officially closed, what really went down between DK Metcalf and that unruly fan he 'punched' in Detroit, which teams look like the current favorites to make the Super Bowl, and much more!

So much happened this weekend. Honestly, I watched a ton of football. I will say it was one of my

better gambling weekends of the season. The timing could not have been better. But oh my gosh, on the fantasy front, just a devastating weekend. Looks like in my big money league, unless Christian McCaffrey and Joanne Jennings go off and in a good way. I'm going to be bouncing in the semifinals. My son's going to take a rough loss in the finals unless C-Mac can... We're lined up. In all three of these leagues, we got Christian McCabry. So there is hope. And after watching what freaking Jalen Warren did to the lions for the Steelers, I mean, I guess anything's possible. So I know a lot of fantasy playoffs are decided to good luck to everybody, unless you're facing me or my son, of course. You know, there's so much to start with.
