Well, well, well, who would've thought Black James and White James would still be kicking it 25 years into the future, and yet here we are ringing in a new year with FIVE STRAIGHT DAYS of PLAYOFF FOOTBALL! We've got a lot to cover with two Big Ten teams, one Big 12...whoops one "SEC" team, and one staunch independent team facing off in the expanded college football playoffs' final four bracket. Then there's an entire weekend of NFL Wild Card playoff action, Black James laments the Packer's loss in the season finale to da Bears, and White James predicts the Vikings ship will sink even further after getting exposed by the Lions. All in all, it's a great time to be alive in America, rest in peace President Jimmy Carter.

Well, well, well, there are definitely some haters out there who think their point was proven right about SEC teams mistakenly being left out of the new 12 team playoff in favor of conference champions like SMU and Clemson who went to lose in the first round of the playoffs alongside Indiana and a beleaguered Tennessee. But that isn't going to slow down Black James and White James from looking forward to the quarterfinals taking place as we roll into a new year! Tune in for our previews and predictions of the biggest bowl games, our recap of the fan-favorite Pop Tart Bowl, and we lament the likely early playoff exit of the Green Bay Packers reeling after yet another loss to yet another division opponent, begging the question, are the Vikings legit?? Let's goooooo!

Well, well, well, remember when the Milwauke Bucks were off to a horrible start to this season? Fast forward a couple of months and we get to see Giannis dominating the paint, Lopez in great defensive form, and Dame Time showing up with perfect timing from beyond the arc to overwhelm Oklahoma City's league leading turnover margin and walk away in the fourth quarter for a win in the 2nd annual mid-season tournament! But, despite our hometown victory, does anyone really care about the NBA Cup?

And surprise surprise, the MLB hot stove season has lead to more talent being traded away from the Brewer's due to high costs of retaining baseball's best bats and arms, but are we doomed to remain a develop+dimiss enterprise? Thankfully we have special guest host Hebrew Hammer on the show this week to walk us through all of the trade talk and rumors happening across the big show's offseason this winter.

Plus how could we forget about something happening for the first time in the history of our show, a 12 team college football playoff! So we'll preview all of the first round playoff games with predictions and statements on which matchups are the most intriguing, let's goooooooo!!!

At long last the first ever 12-team college football playoff bracket has been set and released for us all to debate over, except there really isn't much to disagree with regarding who was left out vs who was accepted into the tourney. Instead, the current preferences for conference champions earning a bye week has caused consternation for those who think top seeds deserve the easiest path, but Black and White James will delve into all of the details!

But Thanksgiving delivered far more than leftovers for folks, with TONS of football drama taking place throughout the week - da Bears find yet another way to lose at the last second by failing to manage the clock, Georgia gets pushed around by Georgia Tech for 8 overtimes, and MNF is graced by the full Jameis Winston experience.Tune in folks, White James has plenty to share about how to improve the current CFP format and Black James has plenty of thoughts about the state of gamesmanship following a weekend filled with brawls and fisticuffs.
