MLB Talk, The Bills' Coaching Debacle, Bears' Near-Miss, and Baseball's Billion-Dollar Problem
Episode 250
Monday, 19 January, 2026
The episode kicks off with an exclusive, inside report from one of the hosts, "Bison," who is currently living out a dream at the Washington Nationals fantasy baseball camp. Hear about the full major league treatment—from using the Nationals' spring training facility and clubhouse to getting a pre-game pep talk from the legendary Johnny Bench. Plus, find out how Bison performed in his first live action, driving in the first run of the whole camp, and how he ended up catching most of the game after a teammate got hurt. He even shares a tidbit about having dinner with Ryan Zimmerman. Bo Nix news and what that means for his team's Super Bowl chances. The focus quickly shifts to the surprising decision by the Buffalo Bills' GM to fire a successful head coach, with the hosts questioning the wisdom of the move and the GM's continued inability to find decent wide receivers for Josh Allen. The crew also gets into an intense debate about Allen, with one host calling him a "turnover machine" and arguing he is not deserving of the "best to never" narrative. The NFL talk continues with a look at the Bears' unbelievable final drive that tied the game, dissecting the play-calling from Ben Johnson, who was criticized for being too conservative in the red zone. Finally, the show tackles the wild spending in MLB, where they argue the luxury tax structure is now a profit source for owners of low-payroll teams, creating a "sick" situation that is bad for the competitive balance of the sport.
