About this episode

The episode discusses the Buffalo Bills' season predictions, teams unlikely to make the playoffs, and features an interview with Ben Axelrod about Tony Romo's departure from CBS.

Tony Calatyud is in the studio to talk a little ball with the boys on a Friday. Dave, Tony, Gino, and Ethan discuss the Buffalo Bills and their chances of eclipsing their predicted win total this season, as well as which teams we know for sure will NOT make the playoffs. Plus, Tony and Ethan go head-to-head in another edition of Mister Lister, and this battle is juicy. Then, Ben Axelrod of Front Office Sports joins Dave to discuss the news that Tony Romo is stepping down at CBS, the media's responsibility in covering the Kyle Shanahan situation, and who will start under center for Ben's Cleveland Browns come Week 1.
