What it do Rod, Karen and the JDJ Moore,
I hope all is well.
Between Northwestern Medicine in Chicago and Abbvie Labs, Caleb Williams gotta line up some ad deals for blood pressure medication cuz this season was not for the hypertensive. That 4th and goal, 15 yard touchdown that traversed *forty five American yards* damn made my jaw fall off. I fully expect that pass to outlive it’s context, the final score and just become a signature highlight like Odell Beckham’s one hand TD catch or something. This season was so much fucking fun! I hope Ben Johnson stays crazy and keeps going for it on 4th down. I love that Caleb Williams seems to play without an ounce of fear. And I can’t wait to see what wide receiver the Bears pick up to replace DJ Moore-route-loafing-self. And hats off to the Rams. I thought Matt Stafford was cooked this season cuz literally no person ever *used* to have a bad back and now he might win the MVP.
I’ve seen roaches fight speeding boots better than the Niners did against Seattle.
Now in the AFC? As an Ohio State fan, it hurts to see CJ Stroud out there struggling something *fierce*. 4 picks is fucking wild and his rookie season feels like a distant memory. And then we got Josh Allen. Damn, this was supposed Honky Kong’s season to finally make it to the Super Bowl and instead he went back to his “throw open the square body” ways. I do hope that Allen and the Bills players are okay, cuz they looked despondent and emotional exhausted. And while he ain’t the first QB to anointed as The Great White Hope by pundits, it seems like Allen himself is the lone white person in football that’s honest about how he played?
Congrats to Indiana on winning the National Championship last night against Miami! I do feel bad for Fernando Mendoza since he’s definitely getting drafted by a sorry team. Speaking of sorry, shouts out to Mike McDaniels for removing his name from the Browns head coaching search. He deserves better than to be sucked into the nonsense vortex that are the Browns.
Finally, shouts out to Klay Thompson for being at Dunkin Donuts to support Megan Thee Stallion’s promotion there! Smiling hard as hell, as he should!
I hope y’all have a wonderful evening and rest of y’all week!
Peace,
Dough

How you livin’, Rod, Karen & YOLO Josh Allen
This is for you, Stugotz. Weekend Observations!
Man, what happened , Josh? Turn the ball over four times, which includes the most “game cheatin'” throw the ball away like a controller gettin’ mad, while losing to an eSports gamer kicking a regular person’s ass while playing Fatal Fury before frickin’ halftime. Like, dawg, he was trying to carry his team on his back like every single sports pundit, who kisses his ass, while negating how much of a loose cannon he is. And, while I did feel bad the Bills overall, I feel worse for Bo Nix. Balled his ass off & his ankle’s broke. Fuck.
Speaking of fuck, you good CJ Stroud? You ok? I hope this man doesn’t go out sad like Matt Schaub did as the Texans QB. Dude wasted an otherwise great performance from the Texans Defense. Looking like Chris Rock in New Jack City smoking rocks.
Caleb Williams, you got heart, but don’t explode Chicago’s heart. Outchea making plays that’ll even kill Fist of the North Star’s Kenshiro. Be careful, you crazy man.
Purdy, you & your team was so bad, I ended up hooking up my PS2 & playing NFS: Most Wanted. Eh, game holds up, at least.
New England vs Denver Broncos: We All Lose!
Seattle Seahawks vs Los Angeles Rams: What’s a matter, Stafford? You afraid Sam Darnold finna go Bryce Young on you vs that scary ass Defense? Get yourself together!
And for the hell of it, Fuck Art Briles.
Those are your Weekend Observations.
Peace!
Cue the “Rod Was Right” music. I remember when it was first reported that Michael Jordan had signed a deal with NBC as a special contributor and Rod said there was not going to be some regular analysis or a cut to MJ on the sideline situation. Indeed, Mike Tirico confirmed this week that there are no other plans for Jordan to appear outside his two-hour interview that he filmed months ago. Hahahaha. $40 million dollars for 2 hours. He really is the GOAT.
Speaking of my actual GOAT. MLK shoes modeled after the Lorraine Motel where he was assassinated…Why Lebron Why. Feels like an own-goal. Why didn’t anyone – on the many steps to the drop – say “I don’t know guys…” Honestly I blame Rich Paul. Less podcasting, more agent-ing. Also, will Justin be buying some?
Thanks for the shows – enjoy your week!

I don’t want to get too much into the Gabriel v Sanders comparison, just wanted to say that I did not argue that there was a big difference between the two. Sanders is better at the long ball, but more inconsistent overall. Gabriel releases the ball quickly but tends to focus more on bread & butter plays. Overall, Sanders will be the guy for fantasy football & highlight reels, while Gabriel is the guy who is more likely to be a solid long-term consistent leader.
As for Baker, he has developed into a solid QB under the Bucs & had about a season and a half where he played good enough to be a starting QB. This season he even had two MVP-type games. I almost started to consider that he may have finally got to the place where I should stop saying we need to replace him. Then came the second half of the season. And while some of that is down to his injury, a lot of it is that he got into his old habits. Based on the numbers, he needs to throw away the ball more, release the ball sooner, and be more careful about ball placement to decrease the number of injuries on the offense. In addition, he needs to learn how to slide. I look forward to next season, and hope he will prove me wrong. I’m not a hater, just not a fan of hype.
Sorry, no more sports from me.
Hey man
Big fan. Watching the jags bills game and they mentioned that the coaches on both sidelines are coaches kids….do coaches kids get the same rep as pk’s?
made me wonder which of them was Jessie gemstone….
All the best in the new year
