It's the Superbowl. We had a lot to discuss this week. Will the 49ers defense be able to stop the Chiefs offense? Who are the key players to watch on both sides? We give you our opinions, analysis, and final predictions on the game.
Next, we switch gears to the NFL draft and discuss the top three quarterbacks who are expected to go in the first round. How do they compare to each other and what are their strengths and weaknesses? And what about JJ McCarthy, the rising star who has been making waves in the college scene? We tell you why he deserves to be in the conversation and what teams might be interested in him.
Then, we reflect on the Ben Johnson controversy and what it could mean for his prospects as an NFL coach. Is he worth the risk or should he be avoided? We weigh in on his situation and how it affects the coaching market.
Finally, we have a little Knicks talk at the end of the show. With the moves that were made at the trade deadline, they seemed to be the deepest team in the East. Are they legit or is the copium on high in the studio.
