The Packers-Vikings game was un-acceptable on multiple levels. To begin, "the horseshit roughing call to decide a game" has already come home in just Week 2. Blame it on the league's over-reaction to Anthony Barr on Aaron Rodgers a year ago. Oh, the irony. Furthermore, the NFL remains the only major pro or college sport in America that not only accepts TIES, but actually changed two rules which has induced even MORE of them. Lunacy. My reaction to this game, the Redskins laying an egg at home to...

I had been wanting my boy "Cowboy Mike" to come on the show/podcast for some time now, as his takes on his beloved blue stars are always spot on, informed, and full of venom when they lose.

One moment Aaron Rodgers is riding a cart into the lockeroom with tears in his eyes, his season presumably over.

It's easy to climb aboard one's media soapbox and demand a football coach's scalp and many did this week regarding Ohio State. But as I see it, this was a far more complicated case than the usual clucking-hens of righteousness were willing to admit. Yes, Urban Meyer is a liar, and a bad one at that.
