About this episode

The episode covers the NFL playoffs, the NY Knicks' struggles, and the All Star Game selections, featuring discussions and rants on various sports topics.

PACKED episode (and yes ATH is mad about the state of the NY Knicks); start it off with a congrats to the IU Hoosiers on winning the National College Football Championship and what an amazing story this is (1:34). Then we talk NFL playoffs including Josh Allen discourse, AFC is boring, was Caleb Williams the winner of the weekend (despite losing to the Rams) and Ryan Clark is the WORST (11:28). The NY Knicks are in a bad place (a win against the Nets doesn't negate the rant) (23:57) and lastly, LeBron James isn't voted in to start the All Star Game (thank heavens) (35:57). Then a recurring guest joins the show to talk more NFL Playoffs and NY Giants optimism (?) after hiring John Harbaugh (38:08) and lastly a recurring guest to pick NBA All Star reserves, does the ASG matter and other NBA topics (1:44:38).
