Summary
On today’s episode, Jason discusses how Indiana was able to cap off one of the most remarkable turnarounds in sports history with a College Football Playoff national championship, why he's openly rooting for the Las Vegas Raiders to pass on 'the young Tom Brady' Fernando Mendoza with the first overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft so he can fall to the New York Jets at #2, why it was so puzzling to see the Buffalo Bills fire head coach Sean McDermott but retain general manager Brandon Beane, and which of the Monday NFL head coaching (Robert Saleh to Tennessee) and coordinator hirings (Drew Petzig to Detroit) should provide the biggest dividends.
