#36 – Fear Porn
The guys start off the podcast talking about the NFL Divisional Round and end the show with their betting predictions going into the Conference Round. This past weekend, the Bengals’ rookie kicker Evan McPherson helped secure a win for the Bengals against the #1 seeded Titans, going on to say, “Well, looks like we’re going to the AFC Championship” prior to his 52-yard winning field goal. The Rams showed the world in three quarters what they’re capable of, while also allowing Tom Brady to do what the world knows he’s capable of – but this time coming up short. The Bills and Chiefs’ game may have been one of the most interesting games all season, ending in overtime in a way that now has people questioning the NFL’s overtime rules. The defense of the 49ers was able to hold a Packers offense that, up until this past weekend, looked unstoppable on offense.
With the Packers’ loss on Sunday night, many rushed to social media to poke jabs at the reigning MVP, who managed to not only lose again in the playoffs, but to a 49ers team that he’s now winless against in the postseason. With recent comments made from Rodgers regarding how he owns the Chicago Bears, it was only fitting for the San Francisco fan base to express how they are the ones who own Aaron Rodgers. To pile on the blows, the social media trolls were quick to attack Rodgers after he went on Pat McAfee’s show this week and stated that certain people have begun saying negative things simply because he’s unvaccinated, making the loss that much more difficult. With Aaron Rodgers’ future in question after expressing concern with the rebuilding process in Green Bay, the guys debate which team the back to back MVP will be playing for going into the 2022-23 NFL offseason.
Alongside the sports talk, Jeff, Matt & Tanner banter on about a variety of entertainment-based stories going on around the world today. From Kanye West (Ye) telling the world he wants to kick Pete Davidson’s ass to Bitcoin and Ethereum no longer being the crypto currencies of the future, the stories get more and more ridiculous. Find out about all this, amongst so much more, in this episode of The 412 Podcast!
