John breaks down the Monday Night NFL Wild Card matchup where Matt Stafford, Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams kick the living crap out of Kevin O’Connell, Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings by a score of 27-9. Middlekauff kicks us off by tipping his cap to a fast and physical Los Angeles Rams defense before GOING OFF on Minnesota Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell and QB Sam Darnold for imploding towards the end of their season. Middlekauff proceeds to compare O’Connell to James Harden, saying that he always performs in the regular season and folds when it matters the most. After, John reacts to the news that Mike McCarthy will not return as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, and explains why owner Jerry Jones’ decision making over the last few weeks is confusing and unpredictable. John then goes on to wonder who could partner up with Jerry Jones and America’s team and throws out names such as Bill Belichick, Deion Sanders and Kellen Moore.

Later, John answers your questions in the episode's mailbag segment.

Colin reacts to the Rams dismantling the Vikings in the last game of wild card weekend!

He explains why the past two games have downgraded Sam Darnold from a 50m/yr contract to something more similar to a Baker Mayfield-esque 30ish million/yr deal. He heaps praise on the Rams defense, specifically Jared Verse and dives into why the Rams will give the Eagles a real game (4:00).

Finally, he discusses the potential of Deion Sanders landing the head coaching job for the Dallas Cowboys and why Jerry Jones would be enamored with the “buzz” Deion could create around the Cowboys and his ability to sell tickets (15:00).

John returns after an action-packed NFL Wild Card Sunday capped by sensational rookie QB Jayden Daniels leading the Washington Commanders to a 23-20 win over Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football. John salutes the Commanders, led by potential NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, for winning their first playoff game since 2005 in the most exciting game of the NFL playoff weekend. Middlekauff tips his cap to the Commanders ownership and coaching staff for turning around one of the NFL’s worst organizations, and explains that Jayden Daniels is a superstar in the making. Next, John breaks down Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers valiant effort in a close playoff loss, detailing why the former No. 1 Overall pick and Heisman Trophy winner left it all on the field this season. After, John looks ahead to the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs and briefly previews Commanders vs. Lions, Ravens vs. Bills and Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs facing off against the Houston Texans. Then, John blasts the media for a barrage of puff pieces on high-profile coordinators like Brian Flores, Kliff Kingsbury and other former failed head coaches in the NFL carousel. After, John takes a look at the AFC vs. NFC and suggests that there’s NO WAY you would pick the field against the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills or Baltimore Ravens to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. Finally, thoughts on Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers, Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers, the dumpster-fire New York Jets and the College Football Playoff’s National Championship between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
