John Madden is the number one football guy of all time

Today is Monday, December 29th, and we start with the passing of, we were saying this beforehand, probably the number one football guy of all time, John Madden.

Madden is the most important sports video game ever created

it's definitely the most important sports video game ever created. Except fuck the passing cone.

Madden: The NFL should name a new award or the Super Bowl after John Madden

I don't think they should slap his name on something. I don't think that that's the proper homage to pay. They should name the Super Bowl after him. John Madden Super Bowl. They should name football after Madden.

COVID protocols in college football are driven by fear of lawsuits, not just the CDC

We're so far behind what even the CDC is saying right now in college football, and I think the reason for that is because of the threat of lawsuits. There are a bunch of people out there, the people that run the bowl games... They're terrified of the fact that one person gets sick, and then they get sued for all that they're worth.

Jim Harbaugh will isolate his players to an extreme degree to ensure they play in the CFP

I guarantee you Jim Harbaugh is going to have his players isolated. And they're going to be in competition coffins where they get fed their meals just coming through straws through the door. Harbaugh is not going to – he's going to lock his players up in rooms and be like, you're not interacting with anybody.

The CFP is on a collision course for a Bama-Georgia rematch

I've wavered. There's been times where I've been like, ooh, maybe Cincinnati will give Bama a game. I think we're just on a collision course for Bama-Georgia again.

Ian Book's MNF performance showed exactly how hard it is to play NFL quarterback

I'll say what Ian Book did, though. He gave us good perspective. How hard it is to play quarterback. Because Ian Book was a good college football quarterback, and it looked like he had never played quarterback. That's how hard it is to play in the NFL.

Nick Saban is actually a lot more fun than he appears in the media

He's actually a lot more fun than maybe comes across. And there are no surprises. I think that's what was great working with him. You know, there was never a surprise. You knew exactly the plan and what was next.

Montana’s Washington-Grizzly Stadium is one of the loudest, toughest places to play

I think one of the most underrated places, that's a tough place to play is actually at the University of Montana in Missoula... that place it's 25,000 people every game and they are rabid and it is loud... that's as loud a place as you'll ever play.

Josh Allen is defying statistics by winning 13 out of 16 coin tosses

My hot seat is statistics and probability because Josh Allen has won 13 out of 16 coin tosses this season. That's wild... The probability of hitting nine straight is .1953. So Josh Allen is defying all the stats nerds.

Antonio Brown is being framed by the media

my cool throne is Antonio Brown... he is being framed by the media. I don't know if you guys saw, but someone compiled an entire list of things that he's done. I'll just read off some of it because it's crazy how much the media has made up stuff about Antonio Brown to try to get him to be seen as a bad guy.

If you don't bet the Ravens against the Rams this week, you're a moron

You would be a fucking moron if you're listening to this right now and you don't bet the Ravens. Five out of six of us having the same pick [Rams -3.5]... If you're listening to this right now and you don't bet the Ravens, you're a fucking moron.

I will cut off the tip of my pinky if the Colts win the Super Bowl

I've seen some people being like, you're not actually going to do it. First of all, it's the tip of my pinky. It's the nail up. Second of all, it's essentially like a tattoo... The Colts started 0-3 in 2021, and they won the Super Bowl. It will suck, but I will do it.
