Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and New England win their fourth title. A crazy entertaining football game, but not entertaining enough to make Dave enjoy it. In this episode Dave shares his frustrations with this entire football season. Dave is upset with Pete Carroll letting New England win, and takes some time in this episode to vent his frustrations. Dave is a bit confused on how twitter works exactly and shares how he claims he started a hash tag that became and nationwide trending topic.

Major Leagues Baseball's new commissioner Robert Manfred was on the job only a few hours and he was already making some waves in the MLB community. In an recent interview with fox sports and Ken Rosenthal Manfred addressed his comments about being open to banning the shift in baseball and this has Dave a bit upset. In this episode we talk about the possible changes and how it could effect the game. One scenario with the pitch clock we address is when there is a no hitter on the line, does the pitcher still have to maintain the clock? If the shift is ever banned how would they determine where they can and can't stand? Are outfielders not allowed to go further in the outfield if a power hitter is at the plate? Also Manfred has mentioned a big focus of his will be appealing to the younger generation and getting them more involved, will this change when the World Series is aired? Let us know what you think about Manfred comments. Thanks for listening!   

Dave and Dal talk about the big game today in Arizona. Dal has a one game lead on Dave during their Playoff picks this year, and they didn't pick the same team. This is Dave's chance to square it up.

They also look at Russell Wilson, if Seattle is able to win this game, where does Russell rank among the all time greats? Does he deserve the credit or does the defense deserve it? Dave looks at the history of NFL QB's and where these QB's rank and what help did the other greats have?

Dal here, and what a time I had in Green Bay, Wisconsin at Lambeau field! I do want to thank my wife, friends, family, and co-wokers who helped make this happen, it was a blast. In this episode Dave and I talk about my trip up to Lambeau that I made with my brother. From freezing temps, cheese curds, fun fans, and a catch that wasn't I will take you through the awesome sporting event that is a game at Lambeau field. This being my first ever NFL playoff game, for it to be at Lambeau is so special and a trip I will never forget. The fans were great and the tail gaiting is a blast. If you ever make it up to Lambeau definitely go early and take in all the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells. Nestled in this small town of Green Bay is a storied and highly successful NFL Franchise. Amidst a charming classic Americana neighborhood stands this great stadium and the people that make up the town represent that classic small town feel. One thing I noted on the trip is that no matter where you are in the United States, a

Before Dal recounts his awesome and also devastating trip to Green Bay and Lambeau field, here is an episode Dave and Dal recorded at the end of the 2014 NFL regular season on the QB's who stood out, and the ones who didn't. What's in store for the future of the QB position in the NFL? Dave talks about what he thinks it takes for a mobile QB to have longevity in the league. And also why couldn't Tim Tebow be an NFL QB? Dal brags on Romo and his incredibly efficient play this season. Dave makes a case for Ben Roethlisberger to for MVP this year. They look at what happened to QB's like Cutler and Kaepernick this season, and also just how valuable it is to have at least a quality starter at the QB position. Dal takes a look at Tom Brady this year, but also in years past. How has he been such a great QB over the years without ever having a dominant RB, or dominate Wide Receivers. Dave offers a comparative look at the great John Elway and what he was able to do. Let us know what you think about this year's QB's. A

Earlier this week Dave and Dal got together to talk about Baltimore Ravens Coach John Harbaugh's comments saying Joe Flacco is the BEST Quarterback in the NFL. Dave and Dal go through the NFL and decide which QB's they would rather have than Joe Flacco. Let's just say there are plenty of QB's they would rather have than Flacco. Dave and Dal almost had to eat some crow after the Ravens, Patriots game today. However the Patriots were able to win again and they are off the AFC Championship. None the less Joe Flacco certainly has an impressive resume, but would you rather have him for your franchise QB than other QB's in the NFL? Let us know what you think!

The last game of wildcard weekend in the NFL was undoubtedly the wildest. The Dallas Cowboys defeat the Detroit Lions and advance to the divisional playoff round against the Green Bay Packers. They do so by some terrific efficient play behind Tony Romo. This game featured Jason Garrett going for it on 4th down twice?! Terrance Williams coming back to life, Jason Witten with huge a 4th down conversion, rookie Defensive End Demarcus Lawrence having the best and worst moments of his career, and some confusing officiating by the referees. Obviously Dal is excited. Dave and Dal walk through the game looking at some of the biggest plays of the game. Dave thinks Jason Garrett fired up the laptop on the sidelines to get some tips from Dave on a previous episode. They also debate the style of play by Tony Romo in this game. Was it great elite style play or just a "bus driver" type of game? What did you think? Let us know!
