About this episode

Steve interviews Aaron Schatz to discuss the NFL's Championship Games, Super Bowl predictions, and various coaching decisions during the playoffs.

Steve interviews Aaron Schatz (00:26:28) from FTNFantasy to discuss the NFL's Championship Games and the upcoming Super Bowl. Steve and Aaron discuss some of the decisions made by coaches during the NFL Playoffs. What does "analytics" really mean? When should you kick? Is, "take the points," making a comeback? Also, who will win the Super Bowl? Why? Should Bill Belichick be a first ballot Hall of Famer? Last, how did Tyler Shough rank among qualifying QBs? Should the Saints be optimistic? Was Kelvin Banks Jr. the best rookie tackle in the league? Steve starts the show with First things First and goes on a long rant about the Buffalo Sabres and their return to the top of the NHL standings. Also, Napoli fail in Europe, Vergara emerges for club and country, and Italy's World Cup fate will be sealed in 55 days. The show ends with One Last Thing about the reaction to the 15-year podcast.
