What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Well, let's see. Broncos are hosting the Patriots in the AFC title game. The Rams are on their way to Seattle for the NFC title game. Sean McDermott's out. The sophomore class has emerged as one of the greats already. Basically, long story short, I've been right about everything. Let's talk about it a
Whoa!
Why was Sean McDermott fired and what does it mean for the Bills?
Hello, hi, and hello, my fellow Americans. It's your old pal Dave Damaschek coming at you from Miami, Florida, here in the belly of the beast for Monday night's national championship game. We'll avoid that subject so we can lean in on pro football. My goodness, has there ever been a weekend of NFL playoff action that has yielded more storylines, talking points, and the rest of it? We can fill the next week. We only have about 50 minutes, now minus... Another minute or 90 seconds, thanks to my blathering. Welcome to Football America. As always, we're presented by our pals over there at DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Jeff Schwartz is coming up here. It's episode 44. 44 was best worn in the NFL by John Riggins.
The diesel, you know, the hogs and all of that. Maybe not as well as Henry Aaron wore it at MLB. And that's saying something because Reggie Jackson and Willie McCovey also wore it in the big leagues. Jerry West and the Iceman George Girvin wore it in the NBA. Chris Pronger in the NHL. Let's give it to Hammer and Hank. Aaron is the greatest 44 of all time. And with that being said, let's talk divisional round, what it means for the four teams left for the upcoming pair of title games next Sunday. which I'm sad to report is the last real weekend of football that we have. And then it's into the desert. We have the big corporate event in Santa Clara, California, a couple weeks after that. But really, two good, juicy games are all that stands between us and the abyss.
known as baseball season and then some some other stuff let's jump in on it shall we like i say so many storylines which way to go which way to start i don't know let's see what that the host of jeff schwartz is smarter than you and you see him on fox sports as well it's jeff schwartz how are you pally
I am good. I know we're not talking about the National Championship game, but I do just 30 seconds. It's before the game. How are we feeling, though? How are we doing tonight? Because I know as an Oregon fan how I would feel if Oregon played in this game, which they have in my lifetime. How are we feeling? Just give me 30 seconds of emotions here.
I know what a creep I sound like saying this. I really do feel, as I keep saying to everybody, I feel like what a Vegas Golden Knights fan must have felt like in their first season. There are no stakes here. They lost in the final to the Washington Capitals, which they did. Oh, well, how sad could I be? This is so unheralded. So without any sort of historical comparison, it's been a great run. It would be even sweeter if they land on the very top of the mountain. But it's also a little sad. As you know, I'm one of society's great empaths. And I do have to say quickly for the other side of things. This is a home game, and the rise of the Hurricanes and getting to the title game and getting to play the Natty in their backyard is a great story, too.
And I dare say, were it not for the Cinderella Hoosiers, this would have consumed all of the pregame conversation. Can you imagine? The Canes are back after so many years of irrelevancy, and now they're back, and now they're playing for it all in their home stadium. It's a great story. It's just consumed by... the even better story of Fernando, the prodigal son, coming back to his homeland to try and complete the feat and win the national championship. Either way, it's pretty good storylines. Mike Fuentes is chomping at the bit to say something here.
No, I'm just saying you're absolutely right. They're also underdogs in the game, so that would have been another storyline because even though Indiana has been the wrecking ball they've been, they don't feel like a favorite even though they are a favorite because they don't have any history attached.
