Jags Gamble Backfires and Jets QB Dreaming
Podcast: Evan & TikiPublished On: Mon Jan 12 2026
Description: A Bears-Packers playoff comeback is already chaos, then Chicago gets a second shockwave mid-game: news leaks that the Cubs are signing Alex Bregman. Evan and Tiki debate how any fan is supposed to process a blockbuster baseball move during the biggest football moment in years, plus why good news can wait but bad news hijacks your brain instantly. Then the show pivots back to the NFL with a caller hammering the league’s new addiction: going for it on fourth down. The guys break down the Jaguars’ pivotal decision to pass up points against Buffalo, why it felt even worse after a gifted short field, and how one empty possession can swing a playoff game. From there it turns into full Jets fan therapy. Calls flood in with trade-up fantasies for Fernando Mendoza, reality checks on what it would actually cost, and the clip that sent Jets hopes into a spiral when Mendoza names Tom Brady as his dream dinner guest. Plus: a debate on Ben Johnson’s “talking spicy” persona, whether he’s hard to root for, and why Sean McVay is the easy choice when likability becomes part of the playoff rooting chart.
